The Government OF Cuba.

That there is some apprehension that
the United States may have trouble
with the Cubans over the control and
government of the island after the Span
iards have been driven out is evident,
and it would seem to be justified by the
actions Of the insurgents in and around
Santiago. During the assault upon
that place the Cubans refused to do any
work in preparing roads for artillery
and supply transportation, would not
assist in caring for the sick and wound
ed, and did mighty little of the fighting.
On the other hand they were more than
ready and willing to eat the rations and
wear the clothing furnished by the
United States. When Santiago sur
rendered they had a man picked out for
military governor, but when he was not
appointed they manifested their discon-
tent in no uncertain manner
This government began the war to
free Cuba from oppression and to pro-
vide for the inhabitants a government
under which they could live and pros
per, and under which life and property
would be safe. In simply expelling the
Spanish from the island those objects
will not have been obtained. Up to the
present time the Cubans have shown no
marked capabilities for caring for them
selves as a nation.
There is nothing in their history to
guarantee that, if given free reign, the
form of government they would estab-
fish might not be as cruel and oppres-
sive as that Of the Spaniards when in
contlo oil of the island. The United States
does not propose to drive out one form
of oppression to make room for another.
Until the affairs of the island have
been Strengthened out and the Cubans
given a fair trial at s~elf-control, the
United States must maintain a direct
supervision of all matters pertaining to
the island. The objects of the wal will
not have been accomplished until a
stable and just government has been
established, and the sooner the Cubans
make up their minds to accept that fact
the sooner will their absolute i%ndepend-
ance come, if they desire it in the end.
1t is a little bit early in the proceedings
for the insurgents who have been
granted the assistance of a friendly
power in gaining freedom, to assert
themselves in the matter of government.
They must first show some capacity to
govern themselves according to civilized
ideas and methods.

FOLLIES OF FASHION.

The Young Man Was Determined to Be
Cool at All Hazards.
The young man of the period was at
his toilet.

Of course it would not do for him to find
out anything for himself. That would
be al indication that he couldn't hire o
man to tell him what he wanted to
know.
"Warm, sir; very warm" answered
James.

young man of the period, which was a
manifest untruth, for his face showed
that he did not think at all. Unjust be

fashion, I will be cool, James"

"And my straw hat, James. Don't
forget the straw hat"
OF course the straw hat was forth
coming, and the young man of the peri

"This negligee shirt, Jamesr' he ex-
claimed when he had reached the point
where that was the next feature of in

I want to be cool. In fact, l intend to

"Here is a lighter one, sir"
"Ah, that's more like it. That won't

Then, having donned his negligee
shirt, he put Oh q four ply collar that

The Republicans of Chaves county
have put a good ticket in the field for
the coming county election. They have
gained many votes during the past 1s
months and propose to make it some
what interesting to their opponents in
that Democratic stronghold. This is
gratifying and good news and is an ex-
ample that might be followed with great
profit and benefit by Republicans in the
other counties of the territory. The
ticket in Chaves county consists of
clean, strong and able men, and with
such a ticket a strong fight can be made.

Spanish Pride Is Not Sufficiently HumbIed

1t had been hoped that the destruc-
ton of two Spanish fleets and the sur.
render of the province Of Santiago de
Cuba would bring peace between the
United States and Spain. That hope
had been strengthened by the reports
coming from Spain indicating that a
peace sentiment was fast gaining head
way against national pride and insani-
ty, but developments the past three
days show that more disasters must
overtake the Spaniards before they will
be brought to sue for terms. The sus-
pension Of the constitution in the penin-
sula seems to have had much to do with
the revival of the war spirit, although 1t
is difficult to understand why it should,
unless the people are DESTROYS Of prov
ing their loyalty to the government of
the queen regent and the Sagasta min

DENNIS DE MON.
Whereby the Irish Camp Co, X Sustained
\ Fearful Shock.

Whereby the Irish Camp Co, X Sustained
u Fearful Shock,
Many years since during the height
Second infantry made their camp for
the night, after a rainy days march, by
the bank Of a muddy stream that slug
gishly meandered through a dense and
unwholesome everglade. Dennis Multi
gan, the redhaired Irish servant Of the
commanding officer, having seen his
masters tent comfortably pitched, lit a
small fire beneath a huge palmetto, and,
having cut several slices of fat pork
from the daily ration, proceeded to fry
that edible for the nights repast.
In the deep gloom Of the evening ST.
lence reigned unbroken but for the
cracking of the small fire and the griz-
cling of tho pork as it crisped and curl
ed in the mighty mess pan, when sud
denly, with a tremendous "whoosh,
the leaves Of the palmetto were disturb
ed, and huge owl, five feet from tip to
tip, settled in the foliage.
Startled by the disturbance, Dennis
for an instant suspended his culinary
operation, and, frying pan in hand,
gazed slowly and fearfully about him.
Persuading himself that the noise was
but the effect Of imagination, he again
addressed himself to his task, when the
owl set up his fearful boot, which
sounded to the Mortified ears Of Dennis
like "Who-cooks-for you-all?"
Again he suspended operation, again
gazed ~fearfully forth into the night,
again persuaded himself that his imag-
nation was in fault, when, accidental
ly glancing upward, he beheld the aw-
full countenance and glazing eyes of the
owl turned downward upon him, and
from that cavernous throat, in hollow
tones, again issued the question:
"Who-cooks-for you-all?"
"Heaven bless your honor!' said poor
Dennis, while the mess pan shook in his
~quivering grasp and the unheeded pork
poured forth a molten stream, which,
falling upon the flames, caused a burst
Of illumination that added to the terrors
Of the scene. Heaven bless your honori
I cooks for Captain Eaton, but l don't
know, sir, who cooks for the rest Of the
gintlemen."
A burst Of fiendish laughter followed
from those who had witnessed the Incl
dent, and Dennis Demon became a
favorite yarn in the Second infantry
from that time forth. Nuggets.

Hon. E. s. Slower on Governor Otero

Albuquerque Citizen.)
With the departure last evening of
Captain Falls company for Whipple
the last of New Mexico's quota under
the second call of the president for vol
untecrs has been completed; and we are
to be congratulated that the work of
organization has been so prompt, eff
Gent, SO periodically and thoroughly
performed.
To Governor Otero is due the honor
and credit Of this most excellent work,
for from the beginning to the close he
has given it his most earnest, undivided
attention, and personally superintendent
the organization of every company, and
gave each his hearty godspeed on its de-
Earture.
The work has not been performed in .
merely p%erfunctOry manner, but he has
thrown into it an enthusiasm that has
imbued whole communities and every
member of the organizations.
He had an opportunity to reward
many of his personal friends and to
make political capital in the appoint
ment of officers, but with the credit of
the service, honor of the territory and
interest of the men solely in view,
he has performed his duties, we believe,
in such a manner as to be equaled by
but few executives in the whole Union,
and certainly excelled by none.
War is a great science. In no other
war has science and skill over mere un-
skilled force shown more c~onspicuously;
therefore, in selecting trained scientific
officers to command his troops, Governor
Otero has not only held the best inter-
ests Of his men in view, but the glory
and honor of the whole commonwealth.
The imperishable honor and renown
already won by u gallant troops on
the stormy fields of battle prove conclu-
sively the wisdom and patriotism of Gov
ernor Otero in the organization of his
troops, and should opportunity occur
the latter organizations will but add ad-
ditional honor to him, the territory, and
the whole United States. Honor to
whom honor is due. 4. s. SLOWER.

How Lee and Gilliland Stand at Home
Sacramento Chief.)
The action of Oliver Lee and Jim
Gilliland at Lees Well Tuesday morning
of last week, in resisting Sheriff Garrett
and deputies while in the discharge of
their official duty, and the cold blooded
murder of Deputy Sheriff Ii. X. Kear-
ney, has removed any doubt that may
have fingered in u minds of the inno-
cence or guilt of Lee and Gilliland of
the charge of murder of Colonel Foun-
tain and son on February l, 1896. In
nocent men do not answer the command
of an officer to surrender by shooting
him down like u dog, neither do they
of houses to sleep in at night.
We are going to advocate obedience
to the law and we are going to stand by
the officers of the law in the discharge
of their duty, though the heavens may
fall. In years past a small lawless ele-
has committed crimes and these
in Il general way have been
charged to the Sacramento mountain
country at large, which is very unjust,
as a more peaceable, law-abiding peo-l
pie can not be found anywhere. Civili-
zation has come and with it comes a
strict obedience of the law. Aside
from a very few we are already law
abiding and these very few law break
ers must not attempt the peace of our
