The Havana Volunteers.

The volunteers in Havana-the men of
Spanish birth and of intense Spanish SYM
pathieS, who have been under arms in de-
fense of the city-are greatly disturbed as
to the future. They have been holding
meetings and discussing the question of
their duty to themselves now that the for
tunes of waT have gone against them. They
still declare unalterable loyalty to Spain
and some are considering the advisability
of returning to the peninsula and making
it their home.
This statement comes from Havana:
Free passage to Spain is also asked of
the government for al those who may de-
sire to return to Spain rather than to re-
main in Cuba should it become independent
or be annexed to the United States, and
those who desire to continue their residence
in Cuba have been requested to make them
selves known within the next thirty days.
a large number of volunteers have declared
they would never remain on the island un-
der any other government than that of
Spain and would give up their residence in
Cuba and return to the mother country, and
they believe that in recognition of their
services in defending the city and their 10y
atty the government should convey all to
Spain who may desire to go.
1t Is to be hoped the Spanish government
may respond favoraby to this, or that, if
it does not. the United States may provide
the desired transportation. The men de-
scribed are such as could not leave Cuba
too quickly for their own or Cubas good
Their presence III numbers in the island
would be a greater obstacle to paciiication
and greater source Of anxiety after paci-
fication has been accomplished than that of
thousands Of regular Spanish troops or that
Of the most impla cable of the insurgents.
The Cuba of the future, whether as an in
dependent country or as American terri
tory. offers nothing to them or to their
kind. The order in which they delighted is
at an end.
The man who will thrive in Cuba in
future will be the enc who strives to un-
derstand the new conditions and accepts
them in good faith. There will be no time
for lamentations about the past. The new
order means push and progress, and ma
mana" will be banished from the local
vocabulary. For those therefore who still
vener8te Spanish forms and customs who
still in their hearts despise America and all
that 1t represents, who with opportunity
might become conspirators against the gov
ernment, Cuba will present anything but an
inviting place for residence. They would do
well to betake themselves back to Spain.
BY all means, therefore, let all of this class
now in Cuba who may desire to leave be
afforded every assistance to that end Not
only will their room be better than their
company, but their company might impose
hard duty on those whose sole desire is
to govern wisely and benevolently and in
the interests of all

The Patriotic Impulse.

Yesterdays outburst of patriotic feeling
in this city. aroused by the return of the
District regiment of volunteers. is but
sample of what is occurring all over the
country today and what will continue to
occur until all of the citizen soldiers have
returned to their homes. The spectacle
here was inspiring, elevating. OF course
largely dominant was the feeling of per-
s"nal pride in the regiment, personal in
terest in the individual members. relief at
their safe homecoming. however sick and
weak they might be. But underlying this
spirit deep. strong sense of pride in
the nation. The flag borne aloft at the
head of the line. the battle flag. had re-
turned after another victory. That flag has
never met defeat. 1t has never been sur
rendered to any foe. This thought ami
mated many minds and provoked many
cheers. The dominant sentiment was pride
in the regiment. pride in the flag, pride in
the nation-patriOtsm.
Thus the returning regiments infuse into
the body polite powerful force for the
maintenance and Strengthening of national
spirit. The republic is awakened to it's pos
sibilities, to its responsibilities. The same
thing happened in Japan after the war
with China when the troops came back to
their victory. Japan aflame with
patriotism 1t sprang at one leap into great
national power. The victories as repre-
scented by the homecoming soldiers had
given new life to II. The war had demon
strated that Japan was a nation. and not
merely a geographical designation.
When it is considered that Washington's
patriotic impulse is but one among many,
that throughout the country these out
bursts OF proud rejoicing in the American
soldier as a type of the nation are con-
Stantly occurring. it is to be seen what
benefit has been bestowed upon the re-
public by this international misunderstand-
ing Far above all the gains in territory. in
International prestige, in commercial pros
poets. this revived spirit of national pride
stands the greatest blessing of the cam
patgn. The closing of sectional gaps
springs from this sense of oneness which
animates the residents of all parts of the
land As never before in history the phrase
We. the people of the United States" be-
comes alive with the meaning of union, and
vi the strength which springs from union.

Partisanship Run Mad.

II i impossible to respect the attitude of
those Spanish leaders who are withhold
ing support from Senior Sagasta in the
matter of concluding the negotiations for
permanent peace. The actual situation
ought 10 be as clear to them as it is to him.
He sets it forth fairly and explicitly in the
preamble 10 the bill he has introduced in
the Cortes. Spain no longer has the means
with which To defend her colonial posses
sions, and hence must yield to the demands
Of the United States respecting them. He
might have added. too, that his retirement
from office at this time would not improve
Spain's prospects in the business at all.
She could not hope to secure better terms
under a new minister. The war Is over
The case is made up. Spanish sovereignty
in Cuba and Porto Rico is nearing it's end
and the American conditions as to the
Philippines Will, when submitted, have to
be accepted.
Whether the war with the United States
was wisely conducted-that is to say,
whether Spain's limited means were en-

But this spirit, it is only just to say, is
not confined to Spain. There are men of
prominence who are manifesting something
very like it in the United States. We are
the victOrs. ours is the glory ana a very
great profit. But we have had our mis-

name of the American veterans. The Dis
trict regiment, however, was organized for
any purpose for which it might be assigned.
1t was ready for any duty. 1t accepted its
detail cheerfully, courageously, and when
it marched into the trenches before Santi
ago, with the confident anticipation that
the morrow would bring a battle and with
the certain knowledge that it was in the
line of the most probable assault by the
enemy, it carried a spirit of determination
to fight to the last, if need be, worthy of
a body of seasoned soldiers. The lack of
experience under fire did not prevent this
prompt, even eager. acceptance of a post
of danger The fact that the anticipated
battle did not occur does not detract from
the character of the regiment as one of
the best equipped, disciplined and condition
ed organizations on the field These men re-
turn veterans in the sense that they have
suffered In the uniform of their country.
The cheers of those who escorted them who
fought in the civil war and appreciate the
dangers of camp and field. are tokens of
the bond which now unites the generations,
bond of tried, true patriotism, shown by
the supreme test to be all-enduring.
The laboring men who, as representatives
of their organizations, were also in the line
bore witness by their presence and SYM
pathy to the patriotic interest which the
Workingmen of America have taken in this
campaign for the freeing of Cuba. The re-
turning regiment contains many men from
the trades and occupations which contribute
to the ranks of organized labor. AS The
Star noted last Monday, in praise of the
wartime attitude of the American working
men, from no quarter came more ready and
earnest responses to the call for troops
than from the shops, the mills, the work
rooms, the various fields of manual labor
The trowel, the pick and the saw were cast
aside for the rifle. The laboring man prov
ed that he was a patriot along with the
farmer. the clerk, the business man, the
millionaire 1t was therefore fitting that in
its formal reception this thoroughly typical
organization of citizen soldiers should, upon
its return to resume a place in the daily
affairs of life be greeted by the shouts and
the presence of those bodies of men who,
in their aggregate association, represent
American labor 1t is a token of the
strength of the nation, drawing in its emer-
gencies upon all elements of its population,
and winning victories thereby both in war
and peace.

Veterans and workinxmen

One of the most pleasing features of yes
terday's parade in honor of the District reg
iment was the presence of representative
veteran and labor organizations in line
Nothing could have bean more appropriate
than that those who fought in the civil
war. who have experienced the hardships of
campaigning, who realize the sufferings en-
tailed by such sacrifices in the name of pa
triotism, should participate formally in the
welcoming Of body of their successors in
the field. To be sure, the men who have just
returned have not been exposed for so long
time to the dangers of war as were
those who, in the main, escorted them in the

A Futile Assassinati ton.

The assassination of the Empress of
Austria. at a fashionable hotel in Geneva
today, would seem to be the outcome of
one OF those unreasoning outbreaks of
nihlnstic hatred which have frequently
thrown a blot on European civilization.
The empress was a woman of fine mind
and kindly disposition. She was the sort
of woman who, had she been born to an
humber sphere In life, would nave enjoyed
the companionship of a wide circle of real
friends. During the troublous years of the
emperor's earlier career, years that were
mainly spent in smoothing over the differ
ences existing between Austria and Hun
gary, the empress did her full share in the
work of conciliation, and did it so well that
she became woman of great popularity
For many years she was principally IA
nous as being the most sklfuI and daring
horsewoman in all Europe. More recently
especially since the sad death of Prince
Rudolf, she had largely abandoned her
favOrite sport and had lived compara-
lively retired life. The death of the prince
in 1889. under most romantic and mysteri-
GUS circumstances, set all Europe by the
ears. 1t was sad blow to the empress
and, while many stories have been told
about 1t, there is good reason to believe
that the mystery will never be fully cleared
up. She felt the blow as she would have
felt it If she had been a woman not born
to the purple. Her sad taking off is but
the climax to career which, all in all, has
been anything but happy one. 1t is hard
to see how the contemplate act of this
assassin has advanced one whit the coming
Of the millennium, when the universal
brotherhood of man Is to prevail

attention. Congress should provide more
adequately for its maintenance. enlarge Its
ranks and carefully adjust its line OF
growth to that of the inevitably expanding
standing army. The same weapon should
be given to the volunteer in time of peace
as in war. There should be mora field
training, more drill in the duties of the
fighting men under the duress of hard con-
ditions.
Washington showed in this campaign
what would be guaranteed by a National
Guard maintained as far as possible at a
standard of true military efficiency. Its
regiment earned the praise of the highest
officers. 1t became known, in camp and in
the field, as one of the finest body of men
in the army. Local pride suggests that
this was perhaps due to the superiority of
the average of citizenship at the national
capital. Common sense suggests that it
was due to the unremitting effort of the
leaders of the local militia to maintain the
highest peace-time standard possible un-
der the restricting conditions of congress

to be appreciated by military authorities,

failure in any emergency which may ever
