thousands of persons from the awful
death of starvation, but the signing of a
protocol, made compulsory on the part
of Spain by reason of the superiority of
this country in war, has failed, up to
this time, to. better the condition of the
suffering and starving. Why General
Blanco is allowed to act in this arbitrary
manner is somewhat difficult to under
stand. At the signing of the protocol
it was understood that all acts of
war and cruelty were to cease, but
Spain, through her representative, has
failed to keep her side of the agree
ment.
The Spanish have refused to longer
provide for the wants of the people who
have been reduced to starvation by the
acts of that government and an appeal
has been made to the Americans to pro-
vide necessary supplies, and yet when
ship loads of food are sent they are re-
luSeu u ianulnS.
General Blanco is reported as having
accused the United States with waging
war on Spain without provocation or
reason, and yet he deliberately starves
helpless women and children to death,
when food is offered them without cost
to either him or his government. The
vengeance he desire wrecked upon the
Americans will more likely be visited
upon his countrymen for their inhuman
determination of a people by a system
attic and diabolical arrangement for slow
death by starvation.
1t is to be hoped that the American
members of the commission will insist
that all formalities shall be dispensed
with and the sending home of Blanco
and his lieutenants in Cuba will be &C.
complished in the shortest possible time.
The Cubans may be a poor lot" as
many of the returning United States
soldiers declare them to be, but that is
no reason why they should DO reduced
to a worse condition than they have
been in the past three years, now that
the war is over.

derS OF the famous vessel.

Everyone will remember the jolly row
the members of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union kicked up over the
use of the time-honored bottle of wi. e
in christening the battleship Kentucky,
and that Miss Bradley established q
foolish precedent by giving way to the
storm and used a bottle of water in
place. Well, just such another tempest
is raging in Illinois over the launching
of the battleship Illinois which is to
take place October 4. The only sensi-
bic reason that can be urged against the
breaking of a bottle of wine I'VE the
bow of a new vessel, as it glides into the
water for the first time, is the needless
waste of something which could be put
to a better use, but the ladies deny most
emphatically that that is their reason
for attempting to do away with a sym
bolic custom at launchings. 1t strikes
the ordinary individual that the
Womens' Christian Temperance Union
would accomplish mc;o good in this
wol,l If the energies OF the society were
expended in some practical direction.
| Each bottle of wine broken over the
bow of a vessel makes just M less for
mankind to drink.

Humanity Demands Haste.

The members OF the commission to ar
range the terms of evacuation Of Cuba
cannot finish work too quickly and
get the last Spanish soldier off the is
land. Although the United States is in
virtual control of Cuba, General Ramon
Blanco is in command and so long as he
occupies that position there is no hope
for the miserable, suffering reconcen-
trados. So far every ship sent to Ha-
vana and Matanzas loaded with sup
plies and relief for the starving has been
refused a landing, and the Red Cross is
no protection to the people who have
volunteered to take charge of the work
of saving human lives.

The free traders and free silverites
are very much worried over the condi-
ton of the national treasury, the sur
plus is getting entirely too large to
please them At the present the avail
able cash balance in the treasury is
S3o2 900, 900, while the gold reserve has
reached the unprecedented amour of
1926, 900, 900. Past experiences, even
the last term of the %unlamented
Mr.. Cleveland, have taught the people
OF the country that a surplus is much
more easily managed than a deficit. The
condition of the treasury indicates that
the United States is not a bankrupt ma
ton, and that debt paying will be re-
sumed again, which was suspended IN
der the business incapacity of the late
Democratic administration.

The New Mexico Military Institute in
Successful Operation.
(Roswell Record,)

The New Mexico Military Institute is
now an established fact. E~ighty-two
cadets and students matriculated the
opening day, and it is certain that this
number will be considerably augmented
within the next two weeks. This is a
splendid showing for the opening day
of all educational institution In any
country, far more remarkable in a sec
ton like this, where the sparcity Of
settlement is considered. This remark
able showing is due to several causes,
a number of which 1t is not necessary
to mention. The primal credit, how
ever, is due to the indomitable energy
and rare business tact OF Colonel Mea-
doris, the superintendent. We have all
had assurances of Colonel Meadors'
educational attachments and have been
given glimpses of his ability as an ora
tor, but the way he has gone about the
matter of putting the Military Institute
upon a firm basis from the very start
convinces us that his business sagacity
is fully in keeping with other attain
ments. Instances are many where
schools have been successfully estab-
lished and increased in usefulness un-
der the guidance and management Of
men deficient IN those higher attain
mentS from an educational standpoint;
but history fails to record an instance
wherein an educational institution WAS
ever successful which did not have a
practical, business man, at its head.
Fortunate is the institution, especially
at its beginning, which has for its guide
and director a man who combines first
class business ability with the higher
educational attainments. This happy
combination the New Mexico Military
Institute possesses in q marked de-
pran .. r

Score another victory for American
w%orkingmen and American machinery.
Since the victories of the United States
navy in the recent war, European ma
tions have acknowledged the superiority
of American ships, armor, guns and
machinery over those of their own, and
are turning their attention to American
ship yards. A representative of the
Union iron works, of San Francisco, has
just returned from Russia after having
been in conference with the czar, who
was much impressed with the record
made by the Oregon in the voyage
around the Horn and in the battle off
Santiago. AS a result of the conference
it is expected that some of the big war
ships to be built by Russia in the near
future will be contracted for by the
builders of the famous vessel.

second Napoleon Bonaparte and in the
end crown himself emperor or car or
something else big. The president
should remember that the times are not

role among highly civilized people, and
besides, while he may not realize it, he
lacks many qualifications for such a

The finances Of the territory are not
in good shape. This condition of affairs
is brought about by the fact that some
county commissioners and some collec-

officials would be q move in the right
