with Cervera from Santiago

"Thc two great destroyers

them at full speed, amid show

boats, but we returned the shot
and shell with right good will.

good many men, but God will
forgive me, for it was my duty.

they could not send a torpedo.

THE CUBANS HAVE CLEAR
RIGHTS.
Trom New York Journal. J

The Cubans have a right to
ask from the American people
more than armed assistance III
driving tie Spanish tyrant from
the island.
They have a right to look for
sympathy, courtesy and friendly
consideration from the Repubs
lies representatives.
They have a right to expect
to be preferred to the common
enemy when victory is won.
They have a right to expect
that the representatives OF
American power will not accept
the Spanish view of the Cubans
"a view inspired by hatred and
the fear OF reprisal for crimes
committed.
The officers of the Cuban army
have a right to expect the treat
ment due soldiers and gentle
men.
The Cubaus are a sentive as
we'll as a brave people, and as
quick to resent slight as they are
to show gratitude for kindness.
A Dewey in command in Cuba
would have avoided the giving
of offence to our allies. He
would have kept i'll mind the
real purpose of the war-whlcb
is to give independence to the
Cubans-and therefore would
not have been so short sighted
as to furnish needless cause for
misunderstanding and heart"
barnings at the beginning. He
would have had the wisdom to
act the part of a conciliatlng
statesman as we'll as that of
conquering military chief.

The arrest of a young cou>
pie for kissing in Pate, son
Park, Baltimore, and their COM
1nitted to Jail for non payment
of a fine of $6,45 each, imposed
for 'disorderly conduct, would
seem to call for some explana-
ton. Kissing in public can
scarcely be considered disorders
ly conduct unless there are
special circumstances that give
it that character. Certainly a
young man might be engaged
in much more reprehensible
business than in kissing his
sweetheart. At all events, a
fine of S6.45 for each offender
seems high tax to put on this
luxury, and to send Dung low
ers to jail for inability to pay it
must strike even the least sym
pathetic as severe IN the eX
trene."

of young society man the other
