THE MYSTERY cook.

In the New York postoffice a scrap
book is carefully preserved containing
all or nearly all of the queerly address
ed envelopes and puzziing directions
which have passed through the city
mails during the past 20 years. The
collection was begun by Expert Stone,
whose lcng experience and eXJraordi-
nary skill in decipherinS mysteries of
address won for him an international
reputation. Today there is a whole de-
partment devoted TO the tracing of
doubtful directions, and infinite pains
are taken to deliver into the hanGs for
which it was intended every letter
mailed here.
A glance through the Mystery book"
at the general postottlce is calculated to
give one a very high idea OF the skill in
solving problems OF chroSraphy or
misspeiling attained by our experts.
Acrostics and REFUSES must be as moth
ing to persons who can successfully
identity the following:

Yet it did not take the postOftice long
to ind that this was intended for Mrs.

A prize puzzle was that directed to:

This kept the experts guessing Tor
some time, until one genius discovered
that by repeating ''Feaich Starch &

Good Government for All.

There is little force in the contention
that declaration of war by this country
against Spain would virtually amount to a
declaration of war against the insurgeu.
Cubans inasmuch as the Cubans are SUBJ
!ectS OF Spain and are therefore to be In
Guided N any such declaration The insur-
gents in the field are not only in revolt
against the sovereignty of SPAN, but have
set up an independent government OF their
OWN Whether this country should proceed
10 intervene in Cuba before or after a
distinct recognition of the independence OF
the cupans, those people who are now in
arms would preserve their present reIa-
lions to Spain, being thus alien to her SOW
ereignty- The act Of recognition or the
failure OF such an act could not in the least
change the status that the insurgents have
themselves created and maintained. All
this talk about the insurgents fighting the
United States in case OF war Is foolish
and unworthy. The present stipulaticns of
the United States are that Cuba shall be
freed from Spanish dominion and that
peace must be restored to the island at the
earliest possible moment. When those con-
ditions have been met, when the Spanish
tas has been removed from Cuba and the
people OF the island are relieved from the
burden OF cruel war, then matters will
eoj.;st themselves. Naturally, In any
choice between possible agencies of self
sol eminent for Cuba, those men will be
preferred who have created the conditions

Public opinion mas crystallised
The war in Cuba must cease.
The Spanish flag must depart from the
island.
Satisfaction must be given for the treach-
erous murder of American sailors.
The administration has moved step by
step with public opinion in reaching these
conclusions. The next step will be action
will be war with a foreign nation, and
when that step is taken public opinion
should waive its rights and place the reins
once for all in the hands Of regular leaders
This will not be republican war; it will
not be democratic war; 1t will be ar
American war, for the preservation of ma.
tional honor and the defence from murder
of American sailors and Cuban women and
children. In such war there should be
but one voice. the leaders voice, one arm
the authorized arm. The American people
should and will lay aside dissensions, and
Loyalty, earnestly and honestly uphold and
support their chief. In union there is
strength, In dissension ruin.

The Red Cross in Cuba.

One of the most terrific indictments ever
rendered against any Christian nation is
that contained in telegram sent to Miss
Clara Barton, head of the Society of the
Red Cross. who is or recently was in Cuba
in the hope OF doing something to alleviate
the sufferings of the starving. Miss Bar
ton was advised by General Lee to leave
Cuba and, hoping that perhaps she might
be of service especially if war were to break
out, she asked her brothers advice by wire.
From Mr.. Barton, in this country, came
the following Geographic reply:
Take Lees advice. He is in the best
position to know. Ordinarily Red Cross
should be Il safe refuge, but take no
chances"
There are comparatively few places in the
world where the Red Cross of humanity
and ben,ficence would not be regarded by
all parties to a belligerent controversy even
more strictly than the white flag of truce.
Perhaps in Africa, where the natives have
not YET learned the refinements of warfare
and regard all persons not of their own
tanks as enemies to be slain without
scruple; perhaps in some parts of ASIA
where the battles of man against man are
conducted on worse than medieval meth
DDS; perhaps in some of the wilder regions
of this continent where the aboriginal peo-
pies are unused to any influences save those
of savagery, the Red Cross would be un-
recognized as the symbol Of succor and
relief and its bearers would be slain or
wounded or captured. But Cuba belongs
to nation that In theory at least, is con-
sidered as civilized. Its people have had
every chance to know of the work of Flor
ence Nightingale. who did SO much to rob
war of its horrors even while man was
steadily laboring to devise still more dread
full agencies of warfare. The Spanish SOL
diers are not savages, in their usual envi-
ronment. They have acted like savages in
Cuba. to be sure. and their leaders have
at times given orders more cruel and
more diabolical in their ultimate effects
than the commands of the most fiendish
leader of naked natives of the widest por-
tions of the earth. And yet, so near to
this enlightened land. near enough indeed
to feel some of the thrilling influence of
free institutions and the elevating influence
of education were 1t not for the REFRESHING
power of Spain, 1t is now written that the
symbol of humanity can not be relied upon
for the safety of the men and women who
would gladly go forward to care for the
sick and wounded to feed the starving and
succor the helpless. II the occasion should
arise the United States will be compelled to
teach the Spanish nature the lesson that
there are two flags that must be respected,
even at the cost of the national integrity.
These are the Stars and Stripes and the Red
Cross. In the Cuban campaign they will
float side by side, for they mean the same
thing.

A Last Summing Up.

Spain's obstinacy and incompetency IN
the Cuban matter seem almost incredible.
but they are matter of history. The case
has been several times summed up. but i.
will bear summing up again now that the
end is close at hand.
Her first move was an intelligent one, but
she defeated it herself almost as soon as Ii
was clearly developed. She sent General
Campos to the scene of the trouble. me
selection was an admirable one He was
her best soldier. anu possessed many quail
ties of a statesman. Besides. he knew CUBA
thoroughly He studied the situation care
fully and made report. He recommended
Cancellation rather than severity. He saw
the true meaning and extent of the revolt
the earnestness of those engaged in it and
their developing power. and that peace was
not procurable upon any other terms but
justice. His recommendations were houted
and he was recalled.
General Weyler succeeded General Cam
pos The plain butcher. who would not &C.
cupy himself with side issues like con-
science or justice. was commissioned. Spain
decided that force, and force alone, was the
proper means to be employed against the
rebels They must either be put down or
exterminated. The new commander was an
ideal selection for the work designed. He
entered upon his task with Zest. But vile
and brutal as he was. he did not put down
the rebellion. The innocent and unresist-
ing blood he shed fructifed the result, and
it grew rather than diminished. He became
such an offense to humanity that in the
name of humanity his recall was made i'm
peratve.
Then Spain. in shutting mood, tried to
combine butchery and Cancellation. She
sent General Blanco TO the scene with in
structions to continue all hardships on the
people far might be safe, and at the
same time to bride if possible by money
and promises of reforms the insurgents in
the field. This policy has failed absolutely;
and. it was Spain's last card, she now
sits at the table bankrupt, surly and
wholly unreasonable.
No nation has ever shown itself to be
more Incapable or unworthy as colonizer
than Spain. No colony has ever shown it
self 10 be more worthy of independence
than Cuba The case therefore, as the
American people see it. is clear one. and
demands the immediate retirement of Spain
from that island

Timely Information
From the Mittheilupcen Austria

NN''~~ eAAN
The power of modern guns of heavy
callber Is such that every erojectile which
does not hit a thickly armored part, or
strike at a very acute angle must cause
fr!ghtful destruction in the interior of a
vessel But as the heavy armor covers
hardly more than third of all parts WIS.,
lille above the water line, it is more likely
that an unarrlored part IS hit than that
arnor will be struck. One lucky shot can
disable ship, a few lucky shots may de-
eide a battle. 1t Is this consideration
which causes the Germans to be so spe-
cially careful in the training of their ma
rine artillery. But 1t is not very likely
that the percentage of hits will increase in
future. The increased speed Of the ves-
sells prevents that Ships armed with the
heaviest ordnance can begin to fire at q
distance of 5000 to 1000 meters (3ts to ~
miles,: with gunc of somewhat lighter
caliber, at 5000 TO 5000 meters. The heavy
guns, indeed, carry much farther; but 1t
would be useless waste of ammunition to
fire at a ship more than three or four miles
away and a modern ship cannot afford to
waste its ammunition any more than it's
coal. With modern facilities for loading, q
battle ship could fire away its entire stock
of ammunition in less than an hour, and
who can say that it will be quickly re-
pieniShed?

The NaIiOn'a POiSe.

The calm that has succeeded the stirring
events of the first days of this week and
many weeks past is mere significant of the
impending crisis than a continuation of the
excitement and turmoil would be. Tester-
day was the first really quiet day since the
Maine was blown up in Havana harbor by

leading to liberty and have borne the brunt
of the fight.
Independence for Cuba means. however,
peace for all the people of Cuba. 1t does
not mean that those who have not fought
in the ranks of the insurgents or rendered
signal aid Of some kind to the insurgent
cause shall no longer reside i'll the island.
The lowering of the Spanish flag Will not
be the signal for the inauguration Of a
system of persecution and confiscation The
republic In Cuba will have the same mean
ing that the republic has in the United
States. 1t will mean Opportunity
tunity for all who will obey the laws and
contribute to the general welfare.
To give any other meaning than this to
the cause which is now on the eve Of sue
cess would be not only to belittle it but rob
1t of widespread and powerful sympathy
and assistance. The tag which both Gen.
Weyler and Senior de LONE have sought to
fasten upon the movement is that it repre-
sents nothing but selfish greed and paid
rascality. Gen. Gomez, they assert, is
merely a soldier of fortune. without con-
science or character. who, as the paid agent
of close corporation of wealthy schemers
in Cuba and the United States, has organ
lied and is directing a small army of BAH

only object, the Spaniards aliege. is plum
der and domination. Let success crown
their efforts, and moneyed despotism will
rise on the ruins of Spanish rule.
The people of the United States have re-
jected this appraisement of the Cuban
cause. They believe in the patriotism and
intelligence of the insurgent leaders. They
believe that Gen. Gomez and mis- compatri-
OTIS are fighting for liberty. and that when
the battle is won they will address them
selves earnestly and unselfshly toward the
establishment of good government for the
whole island. OF bad government, pro-
scriptive government, corrupt government,
government for the few as against the
many, Cuba has had full enough When
Spain goes. that will 60 and it is incon-
ceivable that anything even remotely re-
sembfng or suggesting it can rise under
Cuban auspices in it's place.
AS The Star said several days ago, the
problem will present many difficulties and
will call for some sacrifices. But the
Cubans have already done so much toward
gaining their independence, when it comes
through the aid OF the United States they
will surely rise to the occasion and make
the most of it.

by declaration of war or by some other
final legislative enactment. more syste-
matte attention will be paid to the calen-
OARS than has been possible during the re-
cent weeks of unsettlement and expecta-
ton. In that event 1t is to be believed that
the Senate will at an early, day take up the
highway act amendment and give it the
attention which its importance deserves.
Meanwhile, the House District committee
is inquiring into the same subject, so it is
fairly to be anticipated that by the time
the Senate has acted on the measure the
House will be in possession of the neces-
sary data for intelligent action. The local
interest IN the bill is great, and there is
much eagerness for it's early enactment.

The Crime of February IL,
From the Army and Navy Register.

The crime of February 15-and 1t stands
forth as the gigantic crime of the century
which is closing-is the issue which con-
Germs this country first and foremost in its
dealings with the Spanish government. II
overtops all else; it means more to Ameri-
cans than the independence of any OF
Spain's colonies, than any charity-laden
policy in behalf of the victims of Spanish
cruelty and cowardice. Any attempt to
shelve 1t is a lasting disgrace. and further
effort to deal with the subject in terms
which appeal to Spanish honesty and jus.
tice and conscience is criminal folly.
