MOB VIOLENCE
 IN HAVANA

Port de France. Martinique, July 1s-The steamship Burgin, with 4S0 refugees from Havana, has arrived here. The vessel was quarantined
 The refugees tell terrible tales of mob violence in Havana. July a mob of 10000 people clamored in front of General B1an- co.'s palace for food. The goyernor-general made speech, assuring them that food was coming. This quieted the crowd for the time being, but vio ence broke out in tle town later, when the news of Admiral Ger vera's defeat became known
 The refugees say tn situation in the city Is despejrate- The city is on the verge of starvation. There is absolutely no bread in the city and fresh meat has not been had for fifteen days. Life is not safe in the cap- ital. The feeling of unrest is spreading.
 An uprising and general massacre may take place at any moment.s

CUBA's FORTIFICATIONs.

If our armies take possession Of Gu
ba and Porto Rico. we shall have to
keep the communications open be-
tween those islands. and that will
have a tendency TO scatter our fleets.
Spain has three fortified points on the
Antilles; Havana and Matanzas in
Cuba, and san Juan in Porto Rico.
There are slight defenses at Trinidad
and Santiago de Cuba, on the south
coast, and Baracoa on the
eastern point of Cuba. The southern
coast is best defended by the foul wa
ter, as sailors call it-shoal water
which will prevent the near approch
OF deep draft vessels. There are two
republics on theisland Of Haiti-the
eastern half being known as san Do
mingo. Both have harbors on the
south coast, where ships might find
protection in neutral ports. There are
8 million inhabitants on the island Of
Haiti. Their sympathies are rather
with the Americas than with the
Spaniards. The Mona passage, sixty
miles wide, separates Haiti from Porto

CASTELAR, PRIDE,

Spain is clustering over her threat
that she will demand indemnity for the
vessels captured by the United States,
on the ground that war had not been
formally declared. Spanish pride is all
right. but in this instance it will cost
that country dear. Mckinley gave
them two extra days in which to ans
wer his ultimatum, but Spanish pride
would not permit General Woodford
TO present the document They kicked
him out, thereby threw away their two
days of grace, in which the first vessels
were taken. These vessels would have
been safe had Spain acted decently,
but as it is it proved a costly piece of
impotence. Spain needed every hour
that could be had to get provisions into
Cuba and give Spanish merchantmen
time to get away from American wa
tiers. But Spanish pride had to be
guarded against the sting of being or
dered out of Cuba, and Spain must
pay the price. IT is one of the many
instances in Spanish history of impru
dence which could not fail to be costly
and harmful to Spain, but seemed
light thing in comparison with Span
lsh pride and anger. These are times
of ocean cables, electricity and furious
fighting with mighty ironclads. Fuss
nor feathers nor parade counts. The
Spanish viii learn this before the sum-
mer is out, but it will be too late.

THE BLOCKADE AND GOMEZ.

A glance at the map Of Cuba, bear
ing in mind the words Of the procla-
nation of the president, will show at
once that the blockade is contrived to
Cypress Blanco and afford the largest
opportunity to Gomez and his insur-
gent bands to assemble in force and
contribute their part to the driving
out of SPANS forces. The ports on
the north side of Cuba, from Carde-
mas on the east to Bahia Honda on
the west, and Cienfuegos on the south.
are those by which only Blanco can
expect to secure aid from the sea- The
middle section of the island is that in
which the Spanish forces have been
and are concentrated. All of the far
eastern provinces and the extreme
west of Cuba are substantially In the
hands Of the insurgents or abandoned
by the Spanish. The ports of those
sections will remain uncovered and aid
for the insurgents can be run into
them without molestation from the
vessels Of the United States.

MOVE ON CUBA.

Move on Cuba, Mr.. President. All
that we started out to do was to free
Cuba. The thing to do now, therefore,
is to move on Cuba, and move without
the loss of an hour. The Spanish once
driven out of Cuba, so far as we, the
people Of the United States, are con-
cerned. the war is over and ended. If
Spain should not be ready to quit all
we shall have to do will be to guard
our own ports, keep good our blockade
of the island and protect our oceanic
commercial lines, until such time as
Spain shall recognize the inevitable
and throw up the sponge. A failure to
take Cuba at this time, at once, imme-
diately, now and by storm, means
prolongation Of the war, indefinitely,
and the piling up debt. 1t will cost
infinitely more to starve Spain out Of
Cuba than to whip her out. Once in
possession we can hold the Gem of the
Antilles against the world until that
people have organized free and in
dependent government Of their own.
Drive Spain out of Cuba, and be
quick about it.

DON'T UNDERSTAND IT

The Spanish papers, at the sugges-
ton. or upon the information of Span
ish officials, announced that the first
naval engagement would prove great
surprise TO America The surprise has
not come yet. The only surprise is
over the naval tactics of Spain. The
Canary Islands are far from Spain,
but three times as far away from
America The Cape Verde Islands.
which do not belong to Spain. are more
than two thousand miles distant from
Havana. Spain has been concentrat-
ing her torpedo boats and warships at
the Canaries and Cape Verde 1t has
never been demonstrated that it is pos
sible for a torpedo boat to cross the
Atlantic. The conviction is that it is
an impossibility. In the meantime
Spain is pouring troops into the Ca
nary Islands and letting its coaling
station at Porto Rico remain unguard-
ed. save for about 1000 soldiers and a
few ancient forts. There is supposed
to be a sort OF colonial militia, but no
one takes it seriously. The Canaries
are far enough away from the natural
field of the military and naval opera
lions of the war to be much less in
danger than Porto Rico is.
The story of the mutiny OF the Span
ish torpedo crews at the Cape Verde
Islands is plausible. The Eagle recent
ly called attention to the dangers Of
crossing the Atlantic in the most I'M
seaworthy craft known-the modern
torpedo boat. AS far as is known the
feat has never been accomplished. Life
on a torpedo boat in inshore work is
almost unbearable. In the open sea. to
be battened down in a frail shell that
can be twisted ont of shape by the
force of the waves, as was the case
with the Spanish boat that started
from England TO Spain. and with the
American purchase, SOmers. Is worse
than the existence Of the historic gal
ley slave. The British admiralty, rec
ognizing the inhumanity of subjecting
their officers and men to such unneces-
sary hardships. no longer make use
OF the torpedo squadron for outside
duty in the autumn naval maneuvers.

nounced that the fleet had not sailed
