There are some who suggest that the IN
surgent forces will refuse to cooperate with
the United States In expellng Spanish troops
from Cuba. The suggestion Is not compli-
mentary to them or their leaders. Possibly
they might II they were convinced that free

q plain declaration by them that they do not
represent the people of Cuba. as they have
claimed, and do not enjoy their confidence. But
the spirit shown by Gomez in his letter to Pres
ident Mckinley some time ago Is not OF that
sort. 1t Is that Of sincere patriot who fights
for the freedom Of his country, and not for It's
subsection to any government not OF It's own
choice. To doubt that he and those associated
with him will do their utmost to aid In expelllng
the Spanish forces is surely unjust ms events

NETWORKS SUBURBS.

Staten Island has begun n war on mosqui-
toes. That Is the least it could do in conso-
nance with its new dignlties. When Staten ISL
and was only the jumping-off place from New
York to New-Jerscy 1t naturally harbored
large and able-bodled mosquito population. but
now that 1t is part of the great city 1t awakcs
to the duty Of putting away Jersey things
and preparing itself for metropolitan comfort;
and there can be no doubt that nothing con-
duces to comfort more than absence Of ma
iaria and mosquitoes. 1t might be thought that
covering the country with n film OF petroleum
would make 1t smell to heaven and furnish
cure more uncomfortable than the disease. but
experiments with petroleum appear to have
been satisfactory and to offer n reasonable
hope Of Mt least minimizing the pest which
robs country life about NcwYork OF good
part Of Its charm. The plan to engage In ex-
tensive drainage operations is even more to be
commended, for good drainage not only con-
tributes to comfort, but also to health. Such
enterprise is needed in the suburbs on every
side OF New-York, and some day we shall come
to think 1t as necessary to have carefully
drained and well-kept suburbs as to have we'll
paved business streets. 1t Is only recently that

NO RECOGNITION.

The American policy wins. This Government
is 70 intervene in Cuba on American principles
and with n view to the conservation ana pro
motion Of American interests rather than those
of any other nation or would-be nation. IL IS
going to make It possible for American cl'iZehs

business in Cuba. and to enjoy security OF life.
liberty and estate; for American trade 10 be
conducted with that island without annoyance
or interruption; for the American Government
10 cease spending millions Of dollars year IN
marine police service for the benefit OF an allen
Power, and for American warships to visit the
harbor Of Havana without danger OF being
blown up. That is what intervention Is TO ac-
complish that and the protection and promo
ton Of common humanity
The Cuban Junta is said to be greatly disap-
pointed at this outcome Of Congressional action.
That NAV be. We do not know that IT mat
ters much. The United States Government
did not 60 into this business for the sole pur-
pose Of pleasing the Junta. II does not shape
its policy with n view to serving alien inter
ests The talons Of the American Eagle are

rake out Of the fire any alien chestnuts whether
of bond values or OF political preferment The
island have had three years In which TO prove
their title TO recognition. They have enjoyed
such hospitality and sympathy ms few other
alien bodies have known. and have put this
country TO more trouble and expense than all
others with which 1t has had to deal
1t cannot be said that either in Cuba or in
this country have they OF late done much to
commend themselves or their cause to favorable
consideration. The killing Of Ruiz Is not for
gotten or condoned. nor the toO-frequcnt blow
ing I'D Of railroad trains with dynamite. Those
were acts which this Government does not ap-
prove and 1t is not disposed to stand spon-
sor for any Government that does approve
and that practises them. The Spaniard must
get out Of Cuba. But 80 must the Cuban stop
the practices that have made his warfare re-
proach to humanity. Junta or no Junta, indie
pendence or no independence, there must first
of all be peace and order in the island, and it
must be peace and order according to American
standards All schemes Of government, native
or otherwise, can afford TO wait and will have
to wait, until that is accomplished TO the salts
faction Of the United States. Then. when there
Is something to recognize. 1t will be recognized.
For the present, the order Of the day is inter
ventiOn, pure and simple.

WHAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED.

Within forty-eight hours Spain must decide
whether an inevitable loss shall be incalcula-
bly, increased for the sake Of inflicting some
damage on this country The universal belief
that she will not yield. but will prefer purely
vindictive strife which must prove disastrous,
shows what measure OF civilization the world
expects from the Spanish people With the
Queen and her leading statesmen anxious to
prevent war. according to reports, even by with
drawal from Cuba. refusal Is expected from
them because Of their knowledge Of the Span
ish temper. Too ignorant to realize that Cuba
has long been a burden and curse TO them;
too passionate 10 forego some revengeful blow
even II compelled to suffer ten times as many,
the Spanish people will probably make 1t i'm
possible for their rulers to assent to a wise sur
render which, under the pressure Of necessity,
would In no sense lack honor.
II II be So that does not lessen in the least
the honor due to the President and the Repub-
llcan House for firmly insisting that even at
the last moment Spain shall have the chance
to prevent war by honorable yielding to neces-
sity. However slender the hope that Spain
would have enough Of civilization to escape
from her impossible situation, It was yet tho
part Of civilization for the United States to
make the escape possible. To place this Nation
in that honorable position. notwithstanding the
intense feeling which the destruction Of the
Maine has reused, has cost the President
much anxiety and care. the most strenuous ef
forts and not a little misconstruction; but he
has the satisfaction Of knowing that no step
which Christianity, civilization or the highest
patriotism prompted has been neglected, and
that IL war comes by the choice Of Spain 1t will
come without any blot to the honor Of the
United States.
There has been much Incorporate and un-
wise talk about the attitude Of the Cuban in
surgents, and the duty Of this country toward
them. 1t is only the truth to say that their
conduct has not been wholly free from offences
against civilization. and that their success with
out the restraining presence Of any civilized
Power has been greatly dreaded by many OF
those who have most bitterly detested Spanish
tyranny and suffered from Il most. 1t was In
this spirit. and with the knowledge Of these
feelings, that General Lee strongly advised
against formal recognition But for the United
States the whole question is settled by the fact
that there IL entire lack Of evidence that ma
5ority Of the Cuban people have at any time

organization. To recognize the right of that
