Mr.. Knight, the adventurous CORE
spondcnt of the London Times, who
got into Cuba after "a hours immersion
in the water about three months ago,
has Just returned from Havana. Once
in the city he was unable to get out.
One of his most amusing adventures
occurred when he was imprisoned in
Fort Moro, before his identity was full
ly established. He landed on the coast
in rags, and when he got to the prison
asked that tailor should be sent to
him. The tailor came, but was not adj
mitted to the cell in which Mr.. Knight
was confined. However, he measured
the war correspondent through the
bars of the window, and next day re-
turned with the garments cut and
pinned together for the trying on. This
was accomplished with some difficulty,
Mr.. Knight standing up close to the
bars while the tailor did the fitting.
The suit proved to be remarkably
good fit, ard Mr.. Knight wears it with
pride in London Boston journal.

A Step Too Far,

The published statement OF Horaio S.
Rubens, the legal representative Of the
Cuban junta. to the effect that the an
sursent government would reject any
Intervention OF the United States in its
behalf that is not preceded by action
recognizing Cuban independence, IS
simply a repetition OF what the jurta
and the officers OF the provisional gov
eminent OF the insurgents have been
saying all the while, and there is moth
ing new in It From the junta's stand
point the position and the argument
supporting 1t are strong and logical. but
if Mr.. Rubens Is correctly reported he
has gone beyond the bounds OF discre-
tion, and has riskcd the loss OF much
sympathy for his position in this coun-
Try. by including In his statement an
unwlse, unjustiiabie and exceedingly
m-tempered personal reflection on Pres
tdent Mckinley. ar arra!gnment, In fact,
OF his good faith and integrity.
The statement OF Rubens In this re-
apect Is anything but diplomatic and is
calculated to react upon the just cause
which he represents. When this man,

insurgents. who are asking for the u.s.
distance OF this country in their fight for

dent has been laborlng TO bring about

flee American lives. II necessary, as the
last resort-when this man, we repeat,
speaking IN mis- official character,
charges that the President OF the United
States is acting In collision with the
z Spanish government In an effort to con-
tinue Spanish tyranny on the island, he
j%eopardizes the interests he represents.
The American people deeply sympa-
thize with the Cuban cause, and the
great majority will rejoice when Cuban
independence is secured, whether
through peaceful means or as the result
OF armed Intervention. which Involves a

The question and the problem OF nam
ing the college classes which will he
graduated In 1000 have now been added
to the woes that shake mankind" AS
to when the twentieth century begins, n
little calm reflection will show that It
begins on January ]. 1901
The Christian era b%eganson January

and the 474th. OF the julian period.
Now, one hundred years from that

twentieth century will not begin until

not begin with the year 0, but with tho

the 10Th Olmypiad.
Tho parties OF the second part, those
who argue with many quirks and turns
OF reasoning, say that It Is the TWEEN

letters 1900; that 1900 Is tho starting

Those changes IN chronology which
have taken place in the Christian era
have nothing to do with the case. The
world Is nov committed to the Gregor-
ian calendar and the beginning OF the
year is irrevocably fixed for the LIST OF
January. Theoretically, the era is sup
posed 10 date from the birth Of Christ,
though, owing to some uncertainty as
to the exact date OF his birth, as some
say, or more probably for the purpose OF
satisfactorily dividing the years as 9TH

lily fixed for January !.
1t Will be noticed that, although he
was pope OF Rome who instituted the
present calendar, there is a difference
between the civil and the ecclesiastical
year, and that Christmas q week
before New York's day. But these
things do not. affect the fact that the
twentieth century, that unknown cycle
in which the majority Of people now
living will be called upon to play a
part, begins On January /, 1901.

Should Satisfy Everybody.

II a published forecast OF the Presl-
dents coming Cuban message is correct
It should satisfy the most radical advo-
cate OF intervention and independence.
II Is stated that the President will pro-
pose Intervention with a view OF driving
the Spanish arms from Cuba, stopping
the war and establishing the ~independ-
ence OF the Cuban people. a wise feat
ure OF his plan. IL the forecast is correct,
IS that the President will not recognize
the present insurgent government, as It
Is no as tangible as It should be and
exists In name rather than in fact. He
will. however, according to the dispatch
referred TO. as soon as Spanish power IS
elected from Cuba use his offices to
bring about q stable government which
can maintain a republic. THIS will bet
ter insure future peace and prosperity
Than to leave matters in the hands OF she
mongrel provisional government repre-
scented by the armed forces now IN the
field. The Cuban people, the President
10 said to believe, should be allowed to
set together and agree or a republican
form OF government.
As yet there is no official announce
-nent OF the lines that will be pursued
by the President In his message, but this
alleged forecast is ci~rcumstantial. and is
made by William Shaw Bowen, one OF
the most reliable correspondents in
Washington, and is entitled 10 be con-
sidered as a possible intimation OF what
may be expected, providing the failure
of peaceab!e methods make 1t neces-
sary to send the document to Congress.
II It should prove to be 4 correct outline
of the ground the President will take It
should satisfy even the most ardent ad-
vocate OF Cuban Independence. It dis
poses Of the question well, assuming that
Force must he used. and provides for 4
stable government by the Cubans as a
wholesome result OF the Intervention.

Tie Quality Of News.

In these days Of rumors and denials
concerning the war crisis great care
should be exercised before accepting us
n fact every sensational story set atloat
by sensational special correspondents
for sensational newspapers. The great
conservative and reliable Associated
Press gets Its news, rs a rule, from only
reliable sources. It docs not rely wholly
on rumor, and aims always to obtain It's
information, us nearly as possible. from
official sources. II is ~non-pardsan and
non-sensatlnnal. It Is not In the bus!-
ness OF agltating var for wars sake, nor
In retailing innammatory rumors merely
for the sake OF agltating the public
mind in order to make newspapers sell.
The Associated Pross carefully alb
stains from anything that seeks to pre-
judlce the public either n way or the
other. It handles the news Just as Il
finds It 1t Is seldom deceived and seeks
not to deceive the public. Whenever It
ascerta!ns that It has been the victim
of deception or OF n sensation-monger It
Is quick to correct the error. 1t Is the
greatest, most careful and most dis
eliminating gatherer Of news in the
world. Nothing unclean or lIbellous is
handled by 1t. Fairness, tmpartiallty
and strict regard for the truth Is It's
motto. Its army OF reporters stationed
throughout the world at every important
news centre, is under the strictest in
structions In these respects. A viola
ton OF these instructions Is promptly
followed by n reprimand or a discharge.
The Intelligencer receives the Aeso-
ciated Press reports, and II u readers
will recall the news In connection with
the strained relations between Spain and
the United States, both from Washing
ton and Madrid. they Will note that In
hardly q single instance has n OF these
dispatches been %unjust!led By subse-
quent developments. The yellow sensa-
tionaiism that has recently character
lied the handling OF war" reports by
the sensational press has served, when
comparisons are made, to bring out in a
stronger light than V before the rella-
bilisy. the conservatism. the absence OF
cheap and !%nfammatnry s~ensationalism
In the Associated Prees news. Only the
morning papers in Wheeling receive this
service.
