drawn-out war. And then, too, every
army has an element that Is more or
less undesirable. There is nothing
elevating in war, but much that Is
very demoralizing. My opinion is that
the Cubans as a mass will prove good
citizens"
While this opinion from such author
ity as General Miles Is encouraging, 1t
cannot be said that certain Cubans are
doing a wise thing just now.
The manifesto which the Matanzas
section Of the cuban national party
proposes to send to President McKin-
ley is a very decided expression that
independence is the only thing for
Cuba: that the people have the right
to liberty and the moral and intellec-
tual conditions to govern themselves.
There is somewhat widespread
opinion that the Cubans overestimate
their abilities in the line of self.gov-
ernment and the fear is entertained
that the troubles of the United states
would by no means be ended as re-
CARDS the turbulent little neighbor at
her southern gateway.
The Cuban manifesto. while diplo-
matiCally constructed, is still not spec
tally designed to delight her powerful
protector of the past few months as
under the guise of solicitude for extra
trouble and expense on the part of this
country which would be entailed by
military and official occupancy of the
island. it plainly ntimates that Ameri-
can troops are neither needed nor
wanted in that vicinity.
This manifesto is in rather bad
taste at the present time when the
enemies of the Cubans are not yet off
cuban soil and when, were it not for
the American military protection an1
direction in sanitary and official mat
ters, the conditions of the island
ers would be more pitiful and more
chaotic than it is. The decision us to
the disposition of Cuba must for some
time rest entirely with the power that
has released her from long and cruel
bondage. The quickest way for thf
| Cubans to get political control is to
| show capacity for it.

Marriage and Divorce.

The discussion of the divorce prob
lem as it has been conducted before the
general convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church relates chiefly to
marriage as q sacrament and is notable
mainly for the strength of the faction
which holds that under no CirCumstan-
ces ought a person once divorced to be
permitted to remarry. The right of the
Protestant Episcopal church to adopt
for its government such rules touching
this and other points Of ecclesiastical
polty as it may elect must be conceded
and those dissenting from it's Conclu-
sions may end other denominational
affiliations; yet in broad sense the
subject here raised merits general at
tention and the drift of opinion, we
suspect, will be away from increased
strictness regarding divorce.
It goes without saying that the dis.
r,Iption of family ties is not a matter
to be lightly considered; yet it is equal
ly true that the honorine of those ties
in the letter only, without respect for
their spirit, is hurtful to society ami
fertile in tho conditions which begct
immortality. A union kept up for show
merely. with nate or Indifference occu-
pying the place o. love, offers no llt
nursery for the good training of chli-
dren or the incubation of those homely
domestic virtues upon which the well
fare of society depends. In other
words. it is an open question whether
the marriage preserved simply because
there is no legal escape and lacking
every essential condition precedent to
domestic happiness is in any sense a
gain to the community in seneral
whether, in short. such a marriage can
be considered as sanctified in any true
religious sense ana therefore not dis
soluble without disrespect for Scrip
ture.
BE individual judgment on this point
! what it may, il is safe ground for all
| to take that civil legislation governing
marriage and divorce should be uni
| form throughout the various states and
/ that there should be no rivalry among
| those states for the transient immi- =
| grafton of divorce seekers attracted
| from one commonwealth to another
| by competitive offers of easy release
| from Conjugal obligations.

General Miles tribute to Garcia and
his statement that the people of this
country are inclined tn underrate the
Cubans may have influence in deciding
the future of Cuba,
General Miles says: IT have a very
good opinion of Garcia. At my per-
sonai request he cheerfully undertook
the task OF keeping certain Spanish
forces from joining the Spanish troops
In Santiago. He succeeded so Wen
that only a small detachment actually
got into Santiago before it surrendered
to General Shafter.
Speaking of Garcia, I think there
is a tendency i'm this country to under
rate the Cubans. My observation is
that while they did not do all that was
expected OF them, they did very well
indeed. For all that they did in the
campaign against Santiago, and for
all that they did previous to that event
as our allies l do not think they have
received just compensation. Notwith-
standing that fact, the Cubans have
given us very little trouble.

THE POWERS OF CHINA.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Tho powers have wisely refused the
request Of the Chinese officials not to
increase the strength Of their legation
guards. The request was made on the
grounds that the presence of the for
eign soldiers might exaspcrate tn" Pc
kin popuacc to the point of rtoting. The
very plea shows the necessity of the al
ditional guards, and, under the circum-
stances, not to increase the force OF
guards about the legations would be to
invite possible massacre of the foreigners
i'm Pckin. Affairs in the capital of China,
and in fact throughout the whole en-
pire. are too critical for the powers to
take any chances.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION
The Outlook for Trade FlatterIng One
Rapid Advance in Wheat Prices
Business Failures.

New YORK, May Is. -Bradstreet's
commercial report to-day says:
The business situation gains rather than
loses in attractiveness as the spring season adj
vnnces, While, OF course, the very favorable
situation in cereals is still the handspring Of
the improvement manifesting itself in many
sections Of the country, there are other causes
combining herewith TO make the outlook for
business for the current year flattering one.
Following the rapid advances in prices
of wheat which apparently eliminated for
the time being early in the current week
In a quotation for cash wheat unequaled with
one single exception, and that only for very
abort period OF time, for % years past there
has come lull and reaction from the abb
normally high prices caused by the squeeze in
May delivery, which, however, has left prices
far above quotations for at least ten years
back Telegraphic and cable adyices to
Dradstreets only accentuate the already
wAll-known bullish nature Of the immediate
wheat situation, while on the other hand,
owing to the generally admitted good crop
situation, particularly In this and other coun"
tries, the outlook appears to favor somewhat
lower prices than those now ruling for next
seasons yield. although above the average OF
those ruling for the past six years. With the
qUiatlng down OF interest In wheat there has
come partial shifting Of speculative interest
TO other grains, particularly corn and oats, and
many classes Of provisions, with advances In
nearly all those lines
A rather more confident feeling seems to per-
wade the iron trade, which is reflected In frac-
t'onal advances for leading makes OF iron and
steel Perhaps one Of the most encouraging
features OF the week, and one especially accept
able, because of the hitherto very depressed
conditions prevailing, is the reported slight Inn
provement in inquiry and in tone in the wool
market ut several centers

strength, but particularly so In food products
which are, with few exceptions, notably coffee

EDWARD REMENYI DEAD.
The Great VIollnist Expires on San Franz
cisco Stage After Responding to
an Encore.


SAN FRANCISCO, Nav II. Edward
Remenyi, who has held royalty EN-.
chanted and has enthralled fashiona-
BILE audiences all over the world, fell
dead yesterday afternoon at the Or
pheum theater in this city. He had
played two or three classical pieces
and had answered to an encore with
the familiar "Old Glory" Remenyi
played as If inspired. 1t seemed as if
he knew this was to be the culmina-
ton of his career, and as if he had de-
termined that his final appearance
should mark his greatest triumph. He
rose to the occasion magnificently, and
his 5000 auditors, as Remenyi APP
preached his climax, literally rose
with him, leaving their seats in their
excitement. completely carried away
by his achievement. When the music
ceased, the house was swept with a
wild torrent of braves. Hardly had
the deafening applause ceased when
Remenyi fell forward on the stage, a
victim of heart disease. One of the
musicians caught him just before he
touched the floor and prevented him
from rolling off the stage. Physicians
worked upon him. for some time, but
to no avail Remenyi was born in
Hungary "a years ago.

DEWEY is ALL RIGHT.
Cables the War Department That He Hss
Plenty of Coal and Manila Isat
His Mercy.

WASHINGTON May 1.-THE dis
patches from Hong Kong brought well
come news yesterday from Adm.
Dewey to the president and particu-
larly to Secretary Long and the naval
officials, who are watching the admir-
ais movements with so much interest.
While no apprehension existed as to
his security, nevertheless reinsurance
of safety is always pleasant The tele-
grams indicate that Dewey has lost
none of the prestige gained in
his memorable fight of two weeks
ago, and that, while he refrains
from taking the city of Manila,
he has it practically at his mercy. The
admiral expresses the belief that the
rebels are hemming the city in by land,
but the fact that he says explicitly
that they have made no demonstrations
seems to disprove thoroughly the pub
lished reports that they have already
entered Manila and begun a career OF
bloodshed and rapine.
The dispatch as given out by Secrs-
tary Long is as follows:
CAVJTB may 10, VIA houB hOhBt may lN
Maintaining strict blockade Reason to believe
that the rebels are hemming in the city BY land
but have made no demonstration Scarcity OF
provisions In Manila Probable that the Span
lsh governor will be Obliged to surrender soon.

and moist On May " captured gunboat Callso
attempting TO run blockade. Have plenty OF

one japanese vessel here observing DEWEY.
The officials are making all possible
haste to rush troops to supplement
Adm. Dewey's forces, so that If the
Spanish governor does surrender the
former will not be dependent upon the
small number Of marines which he can
III spare from his ships, but will have
the assistance of soldiers in holding
his position and maintaining order

The Conditions There Are Said to BE Worse
Than at Any Time Since the

KEY WEST, Fla, May 1.-THE con-
ditions in Havana resulting from the
blockade are being gradually brought
out by information obtained from fish
ing smacks and other small vessels cap
tured off the coast Affairs at Havana
now appear to be worse than at any
time since the Weyler regime. The fish
ermen who at first braved the blockade
for the high price which fish brought in
Havana now run the risk not for money,
but for the food which they obtain
from the sea. A number of these men
have been captured at different times
by the vessels of the blockading fleet,
nearly all of them being released after
having been questioned by our officers.
They all unite in picturing the state
of things at Havana as being pitiful
in the extreme.

The Steamer with Cargo of Rifles and
Ammunition for Insurgents Forced
to- Put TO Sea.

KEY WEST, Fla, May Is. -Informa
ton of vague character reached here
of the attempt to land on Cuban soil of
a cargo of arms and ammunition taken
over by the steamer Gussie on Wednes-
Day The Gussie came from Tampa
with 1000 rifles and large quantity
Of ammunition, clothing and provi-
sions for the Cuban insurgents. The
expedition was in charge of Capt, j. H.
Dorst, of the United States cavalry.
With him were about 100 members of
the First artillery of the regular army
and ten Cuban scouts. Arrangements
had been made to have body of in
surgents meet the Gussie at Cabanas TO
receive the expedition and carry it to
the insurgent troops. When the Gussie
reached Cabanas, however, there was
no one there to meet her but a
body of Spanish soldiers, who opened
FIRE from the shore. The auxiliary
gunboats Wasp and Manning had met
the Gussie on the way over and acted
as escort. They returned the fire of
the Spanish troops, and are said to
have killed many, though this, of
course, is largely conjecture. Under
the protection of the gunboats the
scouts and detail of soldiers made a
landing, but they were driven ha"L hv

party was shot in the arm, but none
