A Fifteen-to.One Chance.

An amusing story is told of patient in one of our London hospitals in whom the sporting instinct was we'll de- yeloped His ward was visited, in the usual course, by the surgeon, with retinue of fifteen students. The sur geon described minutely the nature and extent of the disease from which the patient was suffering, then turning to the first of the students, he asked:
 "Now, Mir. Sawyer, would you ope- rate in this case?"
 "No, sir, think not"
 One after another the fifteen stu dents gave the same negative answer to the question.
 Well, gentlemen" said the surgeon, "I am sorry to inform you that you are all wrong. I'm going to operate"
 Not if knows it, mister" said the invalid. "Fifteen to one agin it. No chance. Ere miss, give me my togs. I'm orf."-Tit- Bits.

0arcia's Tribute.

Gen. Calixto Garcia, that old Cuban veteran, upon his return to Santiago delivered an address during the course of which he paid the following glowing tribute to Americans:
 After thirty years of desperate, dead ly struggle, the uban people today eel ebrate the success of their efforts. It is day for the remem brance of the names and deeds of those heroes who fought and died for the freedom of Cuba from the years 1868 to 1878, and for the remem brance of the heroes whs- fought in the war of 1881, which was called the little war'-little only be- cause of it's short duration, but great on account of the principles defended and for the quality of the men who composed the army-and for the re- membrance of those noble soldiers who fell in the struggle which began in 1895 over whose graves our latest tears have fallen.
 "People of Cuba, we owe great debt to those heroes for their efforts in be- half of Cuban independence, efforts whi ch would have been useless-no, not useless, for we would have triumph ed, but not speedily, efective-if the American people, with its famous fight CTS, great ships and dauntless army had not sent it's sons to shed their blood with ours. A grand nation it must be, when the sons of millionaires, who had nothing to gain in Cuba but a soldiers glory, should come here to die side by side with Cubans. To this great nation--to this noble country, which has always fought for the rights of liberty-we owe the achievement of our independence and the consumma- tion of our ideals. Our gratitude will live long for America"

NOT A WISE MOVEMENT.

Foreign dispatches say there is great
alarm in some of the exposed coast cities of
Spain over the threatened visit of United
States fleet. Merchants are said to be ship
ping their goods to places of safety, men
are sending their families away, and nom
combatants of all classes are in a nervous
and panicky state of mind. The fear is prob
ably the more genuine because of the re-
markable vigor already shown in our naval
operations, and the demonstrated ability of
our war ships to inf1ict terrible destruction.
FROM this point of view it is a tribute to the
power of our navy, but the Journal has to
confess that it does not consider the situa-
ton as one to be regarded with pride. On
our side it savors too much of bluff and of
departing from the line Of legitimate war
for spectacular effect From the first the
proposition to send fleet to attack the
coast cities of Spain has appeared to the
Journal as not in harmony with the avowed
objects of the war nor defensible on general
strategic grounds. 1t could not be consid-
cred as part of any plan of campaign or
conducting to any objective point. The only
exception to this statement would be if it
were necessary to bring Spain to terms and
pave the way to peace, and that cannot be
.averred at present 1t might be true if the
war were to last year longer, but it is not
true now. AS long as Cuba remains uncon-
quered, with its stronghold and the main
body of the Spanish army yet to be at
tackled, and with the conquest of the Philip
pines incomplete and the invasion of Porto
Rico just begun, it cannot be said that we
have not work enough cut out and on our
hands without sending expedi-
ton against the coast of Spain
which could not possibly add any,
thing to the present glory of our navy
and which, so far from paving the way for
peace, would almost certainly prolong the
war; Suppose we should destroy several
hundred thousand dollars worth of property
in Spanish cities and kill a few hundred nom
combatants. would it not rather detract
from than add to the glories of the victories
of Manila and Santiago, in which war ships
fired at war ships instead of at shops and
public buildings? And what glory would
there be in bombarding and battering down
a city that we could not occupy and
whose destruction, instead of Fastening the
end of the war, would probably make the
Spaniards more stubborn than ever? More
over, it is evident that the proposed expedi-
ton is regarded with disfavor by every
European power. including Great Britain,
and while we are not obliged to be governed
by European opinion we ought not to defy
it, The proposed expedition against the
c.
poned and not revived unless future events
should furnish a better justification for it
than exists at present

THE WAR OF FACTIONS.

The trouble which General Shafter is re-
ported to be having with the Spaniards
and Cubans relative TO the civil govern
ment of Santiago seems to be the beginning
of a conflict which is sure to be protracted
and annoying Spaniards held the Of
fees when the city was surren-
dered. They may or may not be
natives of Cuba but they have not
been in sympathy with the insurgents. They
are enemies. The civil governor, who has
been a Spaniard in the sense that he has
been opposed to the insurgents. has con-
cluded that the Cubans will eventually con-
troll the city. He has set himself to make
friends of the insurgents. To that end, he
caused certain civil judges to resign, repre-
senting that General Shafter desired it.
AS matter of fact, General Shafter made
no such request and called the official
to account for using his name to get rid
of the subordinates. The Cubans are much
pleased with the civil governor and are
wroth with General Shafter for his inter-
ference, and will protest and otherwise
make all the trouble they can. They insist
that the military governor named by Gen
eral Garcia shall have the right to enter
the city
This is difficulty that seems likely to
meet the authorities Of the United States

NOT A LIGHT TASK.

There is reason to fear that the public has
been led to believe that the capture of Porto
Rico is light task. 1t is a better country
for campaigning than is that about San
tiago. 1t has good roads, less natural OBJ
structions and much better climate. All
these things are very much in our favor.
The regular Spanish army is less than 10000
NEIL, which is also in our favor. But there
is another side. Porto Rico has no revolu-
ton, and its people are said to be in favor
of Spanish rule and hostile to an American
invasion. If the Spanish authorities can
utilize this hostility they can put large
force into the field against us, as the males
of the military age are estimated at $4,000
1t is not probable that the Spanish authori-
ties can arm any considerable part of the
$4,000 but if they can get together 25,OO0
men, including the regulars, General Miles
will have something of an army to confront
In different parts of the island. Further
more, General Miles had not so large an
army when he landed as statements by
newspapers would lead readers to infer
The force he had with him was about $780,
He will receive reinforcements almost daily
until he has large army, but a large force
will not be present with him this week or
next. The fact that preparations have been
made to send detachments of troops to Por-
to Rico until between 10000 and 10000 men
are in the island indicates that the authori-
ties at Washington are by no means certain
that the capture of the island is a light
task. The island has a population of &c.,
COO; it has four considerable towns, the
largest, Ponce. having population of 10000,
and the smallest a population of $4,000 IT is
more than seventy miles overland from
where General Miles landed to San Juan,
the capital, which has 24.OOO inhabitants.
a good road, or even twenty miles to Ponce,
is something of an undertaking in the face
of a small opposing force falling back to in
trenchments about the town.
In view of facts like these it is absurd for
papers of prominence to declare that Gen
eral Miles will disappoint reasonable ex-
pectations if he does not take possession
of Porto Rico before the end of the week.
AS this reasonable expectation" was made
on Monday it is not likely to be realized. 1t
is not reasonable expectation that small
army afioat on Monday should in six days
capture a populous island of $3.50 square
miles, occupied by a considerable army and
a hostile people. Two or three weeks may
be required to bring Porto Rico under our
authority, and a much larger army may be
needed than General Miles has yet landed.

Ultimately the war will prove a powerful

The war was begun with one single inten-
ton, that of freeing Cuba from Spanish

There is the highest praise for the bravery
