Senator Proctor's speech.

Senator ProctOr's speech on the Cuban
was in its own individual way one of the
most notable utterances ever made in that
body. In the ordinary meaning Of the
word it was not a speech at all. 1t at
ry, it advocated no policy. 1t was simply
and only statement of fact. But it made
such profound impression, and so com
manded the attention of the country, as
few speeches or statements of fact have
ever done. The Senator's cool, deliberate
judgment and Yankee insight and common
sense marked the effort in every line.
The speech supplied for the first time an
assured basis on which to form an opinion
of the actual condition of affairs in Cuba.
The people knew through newspaper re-
ports that the island was a scene of ruin,
devastation and death, but these reports
were open to the suspicion that they had
been colored or overdrawn. Senator Proc
tors statement, on the contrary, bears on
its face the evidence that it keeps always
within the facts. 1t gives the impression
of repression rather than of exsggeration.
1t tells the story as it is, but it bears no
mark of passion or prejudice.
The essential facts learned from the Sen
ator's speech are that the rural portion of
the entire western part of the island has
been absolutely depopulated, the inhabitants
having been literally driven inside the
towns and cities and there confined. Their
dwellings have been destroyed, their fields
laid waste and their domestic animals driv-
en- off to feed the Spanish army. Inside
the Spanish lines these wretched people
live virtually in prison pens. They have
no means of self-suppOrt, and their sani-
tary surroundings cannot even be describ-
ed. The Spanish government makes no
effort to feed them. They are literally
starving to death except for the aid given
by the American people. Not less than
100000 out of a total population of 1,600,-
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1898-03-25
BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1898.

900 confined within these military barriers
have died of starvation and disease bred of
these surroundings.
So far as quelling the nsurrection is con-
cerned the Spanish army simply controls
the land 1t sits on. Out of total of 200
900 Spanish troops sent into the island on
ly 10000 remain. The insurgents have
10000 men in arms, and outside the cities
and Notifications they control the island.
There is no hope of the success of the Span
ish plan of autonomy. 1t is too late for
that. Affairs have reached a stage where
the Cubans are determined TO have either
complete independence or death.
This, in brief, is the situation which
Senator Proctor describes. His only word
Of comment is that he does not believe in
the annexation of the island to the United
States. 1t is impossible not to believe
that this account of the actual condition of
Cuba will have a determining effect upon
the policy Of the administration toward the
conflict now raging there. 1t has already
done its work in convincing the American
people that Spain's policy of "pacifcation"
by starvation and death connot be tolerated
indefinitely,

The Key West Fleet.

Last week, when Secretary Long de-
tached the battleships Massachusetts and
Texas from Admiral Sicard's feet and Or
dered them north to Hampton Roads, he
explained that the move was made for
purely strategical reasons" The SINGER
ity Of this statement, though questioned at
the time, is demonstrated by the orders
issued Wednesday. The navy departments
new plans involve the restoration of Ad-
miral Sicard's feet to its original strength
by reinforcing it with the dOuble-turreted
monitors Puritan and Terror. These sea-
going monitors are regarded as equalling in
fighting efficiency the Massachusetts, and
Texas, and have the advantage besides of
being able TO operate in much shallower
waters. The Puritan has just been put in
complete repair at the Norfolk navy yard,
and is lying in Hampton Roads, while the
Terror is now guarding the harbor of New
York.

Militia Called Into Service.

A Washington despatch says: "For the
first time the militia is called into service,
and the governors of Massachusetts and
New York are requested to direct their ma
val militia TO assume charge of the moni-
tors assigned for the protection of the har-
bors of Boston and New York, in conjunc-
ton with the land Notifications.
"The orders sent to Governor Wolcott of
Massachusetts and Governor Black of New
York, for transmission TO the commanding
officers of the state naval militia, inform
them that they will be directed to assume
charge of the two monitors assigned to
each of those states, to assist in the second
line of defence.
instructions have also been sent to the
Western organizations to hold themselves
in readiness for transportation to the East,
where they will be sent aboard auxiliaries,
and, with what regular sailors can be pro-
cured, are to comprise the crews. Illinois
and Ohio have large, well-drilled militia
organizations, and these will be the first
drawn on

The Maine Report.

It Arrived In Washington Last Night,
and Would he Delivered to Secretary
Long and by Him TO the President
This Morning.
The report of the naval board of inquiry
into the Maine disaster was received in
Washington at 9:45 last night. The four
naval officers who have guarded it, watch
and watch, since its departure from Key
West were hustled at once into a carriage
by an attache of the navy department and
driven to the Ebbitt House, where they
tried to catch little much needed rest
and at the same time withstand the crowd
of newspaper men who thronged the lobby.
An immense crowd thrOnged the railroad
station on arrival Of the train. The naval
contingent was met at the steps Of the car
by Cadet Ward of the navy department,
who was the sole representative of Secre-
tary Long. He informed Commander
Mark that the secretary would not receive
the report last night.
That the whole party carrying the report
was armed was demonstrated in a rather
theatrical way just as they were about to
get into the carriage. The crowd closed
around the party and jostled them some
what. They ran against the end of the
mysterious canvas bag in which the re-
port was contained. Quick as a flash
Lieut.. Hoods hand went back to his hip
and Lieut.. Jungren laid his hand on the
butt of revolver that was sticking from
his side pocket. The movements were
sufficient to prevent further jostling
In the due and orderly course of pro-
cedure the report would be delivered to
Secretary Long at the navy department
this morning, and by him it would be sub
mtted to the President.

The Spanish Torpedo FIotIlla.

The navy department received news yes
terday that the Spanish torpedo flotila has
left the Canares and is now on its way to
Porto Rico. This movement is regarded
as to some extent hostile demonstration
against this country. The fleet con-
sists of six torpedo boats and seven tor
pedo boat destroyers, constituting one of
the most formidable torpedo squadrons
now ahoat. There is a decided cur
rent of opinion among naval officers that
our government should take immediate ac-
tion, either in the way of protest to Spain,
or of intercepting the fleet. These officials
say that from strategic point of view it
would be very unfortunate at this time to
have this great torpedo flotilla brought
within easy reach of our squadron at Key
West,

The Old Monitors in Commiss,on.

The navy department took, Wednesday,
the most decisive step toward defensive
preparations for emergency that has been
made since the squadron was centered at
Key West. The orders bring into service
the eight single-turreted monitors used dur
ing the Civil war for service as coast de-
fence ships. They have been lying for
some time at the League Island navy yard
at Philadelphia. The monitors Catskill
and Lehigh are ordered to proceed to Bos-
ton and the Nahant and Jason to New
York. The other monitors, Manhattan,
Mahopac, Montauk and Canonicus, will
remain at Philadelphia, where the work of
preparing them for service will begin i'm
mediately.
Ten sea-going revenue cutters are to be
armed and fitted for service along the coast.
The Goelet yacht Mayfower, bought by
the government last week, has been put
into dry dock at Brooklyn and will be
armed and made ready for service.

Our interested friends up the state have
not been particularly successful in re- Using
crop of Windham county candidates for
the ant-governorship in the coming
canvass. Senator j. II. Merrified has
written to the Montpelier Record, which
brought him out that he is positively
not in the field. Gen. Estey respectfully
declines to be counted in the list. While
DR.. Holton would doubtless accept the
nomination II ii came TO him as the unso-
licited act of the convention, he has never
announced himself as a candidate and,
therefore, feels himself under no compul-
sion to withdraw" We may now repeat
what has heretofore been said in these col
umns, that what the young Republicans Of
Brattleboro are "looking for" for Wind
ham county this year is the nomination Of
w. II. Bracket for state treasurer.

The Presidents Probable Course of
Action.

Republican leaders in the House expect
confidently that the President will inter-
vene in Cuba on humane grounds, but
they are equally confident in the expecta-
tion that no action will be taken until the
report of the Maine court of inquiry is in
the hands of Congress. 1t is the genera |
belief that the President will send a mes
sage to Congress early next week devoted
exclusively to the Maine occurrence, and
that later in the week a message will fol-
low on the broader and far more impor-
tant subject of our relation to the Cuban
situation and the policy of determination
which is being followed by Spain.

day that Spain had obtained from the Bank
of Spain loan of S40,000,000; that her

meet.
To how fine point some of the corre-

MISUNDERSTANDING.
The Cuban Junta in New York is
Satisfied.
ANXIOUS FOR HARMONY OF ACTIOy.
IL There Is Dissatisfaction Among the Gu
bans In the Field 1t Is the Result
of Misunderstanding Amer
ica's Motives.

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Senor Que
soda and other representatives of the
Cuban junta were in consultation with
day. The United States officials were
assured hat there was no dissatisfac-
ton with the management of affairs
in Cuba, so far as the Cuban repre-
sentatiyes were concerned, and that If
Gen. Garcia and other Cubans opera
ting about Santiago were not in har-
mony with the United States authori-
ties there. it arose from a misupder-
standing of the presidents proclama-
tion and of the intentions Of the
United States government in the prem
Uses.
The Cubans at Santiago, it was
stated, probably thought that the
action of Gen. Shafter meant the con-
tinuation of Spanish rule, and Spanish
authority. 1t teing well understood
acre that such was not the case, it was
the belief of the Cuban representatives
that when the matter was made plain
to the Cuban officers in the field they
would acquiese in the.action of the
United States and render the United
States army hearty support.
The Cubans assured the wal officials
that nothing was further from their
desires than a rupture with the United
States forces and authority.
1t also became known that the junta
had sent dispatches to Gen. Garcia anR
other Cuban officers that their cOur5e
ii Santiago was not approved by the
junta and if persisted in would result
in serious injury to the Cubans.
1t is believed that the representa-
tions made will bring about a better
understanding between the Cuban Of
fccrs and the Americans. The opjn-
ion was expressed at the war depart
ment that the better class of Cubans
in the island will have no sympathy
with those who would bring about
trouble, but that it is the lower and
vicious classes who desire to loot and
plumber the city.
