The reports of visiting statesmen to
Cuba have convinced he most skepti-
cal thai II 10 the duty OF this nation to
interfere in behalf Of the starving
Cubans. II is perplexing problem in
,volving internatial questions, but the
inhumanity of the Spaniards demands
Intervention. Senator Proctor in de-
scribing visit 10 one OF the hospitals
at Havana lays: II saw it when
fOur-hundred women and children were
lying on the stone floors in an inde-
scribable state of emacistion and di-
sease, many with the scantiest cover
ings of rags, and sick children naked
as they came into the world. And the
conditions in the other cities are even
worse.' He said in his remarks be-
fore the Senate that desOlation, misery,
starvation and death mark the efforts
of Spain to subdue The rebellion in
Cuba. Women and children are starv-
ing by thousands. Driven from their
homes and held prisoners In fortified
towns, without food or shelter, these
miserable beings present picture that
is heart-rending to contemplate. They
are hudled together in huts made Of
palm leaves, without floors, and with
but scant clothing. Torn from their
homes, with foul earth, foul air, foul
food or none, what wonder that one
half have died and that one-quarteE Of
the living are so diseased that they can
not be savedp A form Of dropsy is a
common disorder resulting from these
conditions. Little children are walk
ing about with arms aud chest terribly
emaciated, eyes swollen and abdomen
bloated to three times the natural size.
Death alone can relieve them of the
terrible sufferings.
And death is everywherel Out of a
population of a million and half, two
hundred thousand have died within
these Spanish forts within few months
past from actual starvation and disease
caused by insufficient and improper
fuod.
Senator Challenger said: "You may
sign my name to any picture you may
draw of utter wretchedness, destituti0n
and hellishness, in that country. The
condition Of affairs, so far as I had op-
portunity to observe 1t, and / was only
in Havana and Matanzas, is simply in
deseribable. 1 had not texpsc,ed to find
it half as bad as it is, and / do not be-
lieve that any one who simply reads the
accounts and does not see for himself
can form an adequate idea Of the
situation. The reconcentrados are
wedged into all available places in
those cities and are perishing by thou
sands for " ant of the commonests nee
essaries of life. The best information
leads o tie conclusion that
there have been beyond doubt a hum
dred Thousand deaths as a result of
Spain's brutal policy, and the tragedy
goes on from day to day."
Senator Wolcott has added his testi-
mony, his wife having died in Havana
because her intense sympathy for the
sick and starving was too great for her
nervous condition. Christianity de-
mands Intervention on the part Of tie
United States.

The Evening Journal is striving to
make political question out of the
Dover Bank cases. This is more than
contemptible-it is damnable. There
is enough OF party politics in the
Courts without dragging it into the
jury boxes to influence Jurors. The
list Of jurors for these trials has been
published. They are representative
men and should be allowed to hear the

The TRANSCRIPT has received
from an advertising agent in Will
mington several columns of ads. OF
Wilmington business men whose special
object is to attract the attention of pros
pective excursionists to thai city on
April 9th. The TRANSCRIPT believes
in Wilmington as growing city,in her
advancement sihce the growth and
prosperity of Wilmington are Of interest
to every citizen Of Delaware not only
as matter of State pride bat also In o
financial sense as tax payer. Will
mington pays large proportion OF the
State taxes to-day-to grow in wealth
and in population and in manufactures
will be to pay more. The TRANSCRIPT
had refused the kind Offices Of the adj
vertising agency in question for reasons
sssigned but since there is not now
time for explanation to all parties con-
cerned the "middlenan" is for once
accepted and we hope that no advertiser
will be disappointed. OF course the
Wilmington merchants say "buy at
home il you can buy as advantageous
ly"-they say this to the people Of Will
mingtoD and hence to all, but they add
''if you will not buy at home, take a
trip to Wilmington, visit our stores and
be convinced that in quality and prices
you can do no better anywhere slse."
Wilmington not only because of her
large and well-flisd stores should at
tract the trade of this Peninsula but
from ber natural situation it belongs to
her. The business men in drawing at
tention to her are acting wisely. A
large share of the business of this Slate
should 60 to Wilmington, when it goes
from home. There is enough competi-
tion there to make prices right. The
live business man courts competition.
"I wish Middletown had another store
as large as mine'' said Middletown's
leading merchant to the surprise of
many. "WhyP" "Bscause within the
limits of reason the more stores, the
more purchasers" sc. and the listeners
went away to think. In the mean
time the readers of the TRANSCRIPT
may read our advertising columns, all
of them, and think.
