Declare They VIII Remain in Cuba I'M
til the Last-wish to Punish the Peo-
pie of Havana for Their Ingrstltude to
Spain-Women and Children Leaving
the City.
Havana, Dec. 19.-The Spanish sol
diers of the Battalion Colon, the men
who plundered the town of SantO Do
mingo, and who, when the protocol was
signed, protested against peace and re-
VOTED at Puerto Principe, are causing
the brawls and disorder in this city.
Since Dec. the battalion has disre-
garded the orders of Captain-General
CastellanOs. and instead of embarking
for Spain, as was suggested in a friend
ly spirit by the American Commission,
they have remained here solely to
create trouble.
They declare that they have not been
vanquished, and, with bands playing,
they parade the streets, singing Span
ish songs, compelling peaceful residents
Americans, CubanS and Spanish-tO
kiss the Spanish flag and cry Viva
Espana!" They are at present the po-
lice of the city. At o'clock every
evening they gather in front OF the
Hotel de Inglaterra and by their dem
onstrations keep the people in state
of terror.
On Thursday the battalion attacked
the people in the town of Regla, insult
ing the women and beating the men.
Yesterday they wounded a boy on
Prado street, and the Spanish press
censor permitted only this comment to
be published: IAN American armed
with Il rifle shoots negO.
They robbed some peasants at a rail
way station, and under censorship the
incident was thus reported: Peasants
robbed by group of men, some OF
whom were armed.
They declare openly that they will
remain in Cuba until the last, in order
10 punish the people of Havana for their
ingratitude to Spain. They say that
the war with Spain was brought about,
not by the desire of the Americans. nor
BY the Cuban insurgents, but because
of calumnies heaped on the Spanish
army in Cuba by the people of Havana.
Women and children are fleeing to
Marianao. where they can be safe un.
der protection of American troops. In
the meantime crime lOurishes in this
city. Since Thursday six murders have
been committed in the streets of Havana.

Up in the streats of Binghamton.

Binghamton, N. Y, Dec. 20.-A scrap
of typewritten paper found lying on the
sidewalk has caused a decided sensation
in the Masonic fraternity. The finder
was prominent Mason, and recognized
the paper as written secrets of Ma

was the violation of most solemn oath.

ough investigation, the result of which
was that five prominent Masons, one OF
whom was a candidate for Master of
Otsininge Lodge, were accused. Deputy
Grand Master Walter Hand visited the
lodge and announced that he had been
authorized to withdraw the charter and
expel the members implicated, but
thinking it more of mistake than an
intentional error, ne would investigate
further before taking radical measures.

There is no disgusting the intense hostility of France towards the United States at this crisis. The traditional friendship" has quite disappeared un- der the strain of financial and religious motives for sympathy with Spain The leading newspapers of Paris all favor our enemy. The entente cordiale be- tween Great Britain and the United States has had much to do with this feeling. At present, perhaps, the sit uation need not give us much concern. But who can tell what might happen should the war be unduly prolonged Would France see Spain ruined with cut striking a blew? Of course there are powerful reasons why she should preserve a strict neutrality; but such reasons do not always prevail in times of popular passion.

LIKE VETERANS.

The dispatches of yesterday convey some expressions by Emperor William
 of Germany with reference to the naval battle at Cavite. Among other things he is quoted as saying: There is evidently something besides smart ness and commercialism in the Yankee blood. These fellows at Cavite have fought likev eterans''
 Perhaps the young emperor was in- clined to be facstious Perhaps he has not made as close a study of history as he might, the material occupying the shelves at his elbow Perhaps his teaching on the subject of war, and how to discover the difference between veterans and an awkward squad has been faulty. When we consider, though, that the experience of the em- peror dates no farther back than the Franco-Prussian war, and that in that struggle he was not only in short clothes, but subjected to very unfavor able impressions, we find it easy to pardon his lack of knowledge on the subject of the American veteran.
 Not only was Admiral Dewey a vet eran. but many of the officers and men of his fleet were recognized as men of note in the civil war in 1861-5. Aside from this, and beyond this, it is the pleasure of this nation to point at every man enlisted under the stars and stripes and to say to the world: "This is his first actual war experi- ence, but he Is every inch veteran in fight" And the emperor as we'll as the nations of the earth will have occasions many to reiterate the ex- pression quoted, They fought like veterans"
