The Cuban Fruit Trade.

The Cuban fruit trade is a thing
which will be a source of immense
profit to the island at some future time.
1t passed out Of the hands of the Gu
bans into those of American fruit grow
ers and traders chiefly on account of
the thoughtlessness and lack of care
shown by the former. 1t is Cuban
trait to do everything by what appears
to be the shortest way, and the results
are sometimes disastrous. They were
so in this case. The conditions for
fruit raising in Cuba are ideal. Or
out care. Attention is only required in
gathering and packing the fruit. To
get the fruit from an orange tree the
Cuban or Spanish laborer shook the
tree first, and then knocked about
among the branches with long pole.
When the oranges reached the ground
they were, Of course, more or less
bruised. They were then dumped into
saddlebags, placed on the backs of
mules and carried over the rough coun-
try roads In way which, IL the goods
had been cream, would have resulted
in first-class butter. On reaching the
town the mule driver tossed his sad
dlebags into the corner Of the store
house, on top of many other bags.
where they remained till the packers
were ready.
The fruit was packed in boxes or

1t is impossible not to feel compassion
for the unfortunate Spanish sharp
shooters at Santiago. who, according
to late dispatch. were tied into trees,
with instructions to pick off the Yam
kee pigs as fast as possible, on pain
of death. They were told horrible
stories of the vengeance which the
Americans would take on any cf the
enemy who fell into their hands. and
every means was employed to fill them
with the courage of desperation-the
daring of a wolf at bay. Their officers
seem to have been convinced that in
no other way could these sharpshoOters
be induced to stay in their places
There is nothing in the whole war
which illustrates more plainly the diff
ference between American and Spanish
methods of warfare than this The
American officer who should even at
tempt such proceeding would
be hooted from one end of the country
to the other. American sharpshooters
are the pluckiest and coolest men of
the army, taking all the fortunes of
war with q CdlnneSS ledTIeu III iEoHtIST
campaigns. They sometimes have to
be held back from doing rash things
and throwing away their lives in fool
hardy exploits undertaken from pure
adventurous daring, but their officers
never have to plead with them to stand
their ground.
These Spaniards. on the contrary,
seem TO have become sharpshooters,
not through fitness, but necessity. Sup
piled with ammunition, and fastened in
the path of the enemy without hope of
escape, they sat there, like wild crea-
lures caught in trap. desperately load
ing and firing, in the frenzied hope
that they might keep back the onward
rush of Americon troops and escape the
horrors which their untaught fancy
pictured as the lot of the conquered. 1t
is a pitiful spectacle. One may feel
sorry even for a trapped tiger, and
these men, by reason Of their human
power of Imagination, suffered more
than any tiger could.

When Mr.. Morgan's man came on the

eral feet away from these receptac'ss
and threw the orange or pineapple in.
Sometimes 1t landed in the box. and
sometimes on the floor: in either case
it received a. fresh bruise. Finally the
packing case was fun. and then the lid
was put on. If there happened to be
too mucliTfruit inside 1t never occurred
to the packer to do a little read5usting;
he simply sat on the lid till 1t went
down where it belonged. Then the bar
rel was rolled down the gangplank to
the steamer. or the box was carried On
a mans shoulder. and the boxes and
barrels were all tumbled in together for
a voyage of hundreds or thousands of
miles, 1t usually reached the whole

be better imagined than described.
With the advent of American plant
ers into the island, and the proper pro-
lection Of American interests. all this
will be changed. The American meth

fruit will gradually prevail, and the
trade will eventually BE- divided betws en-
the Cubans and the Americans.

STAMP Ont Yellow Fever.

A golden opportunity is now Offered
to the United States to destroy the
source of the yellow fever plague that
annually menaces the Southern States
and occasionally assumes an epidemic
form. The disease cannot, of course,
arise de novo from dirt or from any OF
the conditions that are commonly re-
garded as unsanitary. Without the spa
cific germ there can be no case OF
fever But sanitary regulations can
prevent the propagation of the bac-ili
and eventually Danish the pestilence
in its epidemic character 1t is easy to
exaggerate the value of cleanliness
alone as a preventive of contagious
diseases, but when it is associated with
constant watchfuiness and the prompt
seclusion of every case it is bound to be
effective In order to virtually stamp
out the destructive Yellow Jack it is
necessary that sanitary science should
invade Cuba with torch and police au-
thority.
If any civilized nation should come
into control of the wells in Asa from
which the germs of cholera are carried
by devout, but dirty. pilgrims, 1t would
Immediately recognize its duty to fill
up. drain or otherwise destroy the lair
of the Asiatic plague. Our own ma
tion's duty in the case of yellow fever
is lust as obvious. The burning of the
town of Siboney as sanitary measure
is an example of heroic treatment that
commends itself to fever experts. The
first care is to restrict the ravages of
the disorder in the army and to adopt
a comprehensive policy that will protect
the American troops in their future op-
erations in Cuba and in Porto Rico.
There is no reason why this should not
involve the sanitary renovation of Gu
ba, in the interests of its permanent
population and of the people of the
southern section of this country. The
details of plan of warfare may safely
be left to a commission of army medi-
cal men or experienced sanitarians act
ing under the extreme authority of the
army. Only as a measure of protection
to our soldiers can the crusade be made
effective. A watchful Providence could
not create a better opportunity to rid
the race of one of its most terrible foes
than the military occupation by the
United States of the most common
source of its outbreaks.
The evening times., 1898-07-14
A Matter of Duty.

There is no ground on which the per-
manent retention of the Philippines by
the United States can be opposed, with
out condemning all territorial expan-
sion. If to keep these Islands means
a policy of imperialism and war for
conquest, then every foot of land ac-
quired by this country as the result OF
war or purchase must be condemned.
The last of all men to object are Demo-
Gratis who have regard for the traditions
of their party or care for the future Of
the nation the founders of the party
struggled to establish.
The United States did not enter into
this war with Spain for the purpose OF
acquiring any of her possessions. but
to right the most intolerable wrongs
that ever appealed to civilized peo-
pie No class of men were more eager
for the Government to act than the
Democratic leaders in Congress. When
the war came, it was military neces-
sity that our fleet in the Pacific should
attack the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay.
and that we should send troops to take

not with the idea of conquest. but as a
war measure, that Dewey acted.
AS predicted by Seward. the Pacific
and its shores are rapidly assuming an
importance to the nations Of Europe
that will eventually make of them the
theater of the great events of future
history. Every European power is
struggling to obtain foothold there.
and will stop short of no available
means to achieve its purpose. Into our
hands have fallen the richest and mcst
important islands of the Western ocein.
Spajn has proved herself not merely an
incompetent ruler, but an unspsakably
barbaric oppressor. To return TO her
savage hands the people and proper Y
she has abused would be like restor ng
her to the full supremacy in Cuba, TO
destroy which is the object Of our
expenditure of lives and treasure. To
convey the islands to any other power
would be to forward the schemes of
Pacific mastery that now engage the
rival nations of Europe.
1t is not simply a consideration of tn a
interests of our own country, but of all
mankind, that must lead the United
States to reserve to American sover-
eighty these islands and their present
and future millions. Can any man
doubt what Is best for the future of
the Philippines? 1t would be to shirk
the responsibility which righteous war
has forced on US and to lend ourselves
to the selfish schemes of kings If We
should return to the peridious Spaniard
the islands he has robbed. or sell them
to a power less competent than ours
to foster a system of just and perhaps
ultimately of seif-government.
The evening times., 1898-07-14

1t is extremely unkind for Americans to
doubt the sincerity of General Blanco's $
attempt to commit suicide. if he did make
ii. The authority for the news Is un-
known, but it has been explicitly affirmed
that on learning Of the destruction of Ger
vera's fieeet. the governor general deter
mined to die by his own hand, but officers
of mis- staff prevented the execution of his
dire purpose. Without any definite knowl-
edge of the facts, it is still easy to form a
reasonable conjecture as to his proceed
ings General Blanco is a Spanish mill
tary man. The events Of this Yanko-
Spanko war have revealed that nobody in
the army or navy of Spain can shoot. In
the distraction OF the moment instead of
using a weapon that requires no special
ability, he probably seized gun and
missed his aim, as a matter of course.
The evening times., 1898-07-14

One of the troubles which Spain seems
to have encountered in all of her colonies
is lack of the support of public opinion.
to put it mildly. She has taken pos
session of places which had. up to that
time. been as peaceful as a shee2fOld,
and inside of a week there would be a
full-fiedged revolution on her hands. An
illustration of this appears in the history
of Louisiana, about the middle of the
eighteenth century. Don Alessandro
O'Reilly. the second Spanish governor Of
that province. had managed with some
trouble to suppress a rebellion led by one
Lafreniere He sentenced this leader
and six companions to be hanged. and
then looked about for a hangman. There
was not a man In louisiana. white or
black who would consent on any terms
to do the job. The governor finally had
to assign the work Of slaughter to regu-
lar Spanish soldiers whom he had brought
with him from Spain. and the revolu-
tionists were shot to death. instead of
being hanged.
