abolished only 2 years ago. Hundreds
Of thousands Of the whites are scarcely
above the negroes in intelligence and
education. Years of civil war have
done their sad work in breeding MUIR
derers and robbers galore in this con-
genial soil. The feeling between the
different parties and factions is intense,
and expresses itself in destroying prop
erty and killing men and women at
every opportunity.
The only way to deal with this vast
mob-for that is virtually what it is
of most unpromising materials is to put
before Its very eyes a strong display of
physical force. The smallest number
that has been suggested for this purpose
is $4,000 men, and 100000 has been
urged as still better. There is little
doubt that the larger number would be
the surer and the cheaper and better in
the end. The moro that are sent there,
the less time they will have to stay, for
the end will be quickly attained by
putting before every Cuban's eyes con-
vincing object lesson of our power
and resources. This is the only
way he can learn it, for the
average Cuban has but little more
conception of America, its strength,
and the ideas and character of our
people than he has of the moon and its
inhabitants. To pervade the island
with 100000 well-drilled, well-disci.
plined, intelligent American soldiers will
be as great missionary work as can be
conceived. 1t will be a flood of new
and better ideas to the people who have
been dwelling in the darkness of Spain.
1t cannot help starting every man and
woman on the island little ways at
least toward a higher plane. The pres
ence of large garrisons Of clean, we'll
behaved, intelligent troops in Habana,
Matanzas, Santiago, Cienfuegos, and
other cities, with their trim camps, their
soldierly bearing, their progressive ideas,
the rigid justice they will enforce, the
marches of these men through the
country, and their free communication
with the people, will all be the most pow
full influences in demonstrating that the
hideous old days of Spanish oppression,
violence, murder. robbery, sloth, igno-
rance and barbarism have finally passed
away, and that the beautiful island has
entered upon new and glorious career
as part of the civilization of the New
World.
Nor will all the benefits of this be
to the Cubans. Immense numbers of
the young men who go down there with
arms in their hands will remain as citi-
zens. They will become fascinated with
the fair, fertile country, and its bound

less possibilities. They will see one of
the richest lands upon which the sun
shines, which has been stunted in its de-
velopment by 400 years Of Spanish mis-
rule. To many intents and purposes it is
virtually new country, in spite of its
ancient settlement, and invites their
occupation. Therer is land enough for
all of them, so cheap as to be almost
for the asking, and upon it they can
raise unlimited crops of tobacco, sugar,
coffee, bananas, and other products that
bring high prices and ready cash in the
United States. For those who do not
want to go into agriculture there are
equally great possibilities in all forms
of business. There are mines which
the Spaniards have never allowed to be
worked, there are timber areas which
the Spaniards have not had the thrift
to utilize. Every interest and resource
of the island has hitherto been under
the clammy, merciless hand of Spanish
repression. When that is removed there
will be endless opportunities for bright
young Americans to establish themselves
prosperously.

THE AMERICAN ARMY IN CUBA
Whatever the course taken by the
war with Spain, it is now practically
certain that very large land force will
have to be sent to Cuba.
No well-informed man expects any
serious fighting for this. There is much
talk about besieging and capturing
Habana, possibly other cities, and of
driving out the Spanish army. 1t is
wise to consider every possible contin-
gency in war, but no one really expects
anything of the kind.
1t is as nearly certain as anything can
be in war that Spain does not intend and
cannot make anything more than a
formal, perfunctory fght, merely to save
appearances, and to demonstrate that
she only yields to overwhelming force.
She really weuld not fight at all, were it
not to save the present lettering dynasty
from being overthrow by the Carlists.
But having resolved to make show of
fight, she is not going to allow the show
to be any more costly than she can help.
1t may amount to nothing more than few
longEaage shots at our Flying Squadron
in the neighborheod of Porto Rico, and
the precipitate retreat of the Spanish
ships to avoid capture. Then, report
ing themselves unable to reach Cuba,
tho whole thing may fall at once, for
with the Spanish forces ON the island
cut off from supplies there will be moth
ing left to them but speedy surrender.
They cannot maintain themselves very
many days in a country where hundreds
of thousands of people are already
starving, and where both army and
people have to be fed either from Spain
or this country. 1t may be that a
single action between cruisers will de-
termine the matter. 1t may be that the
advance of the feet at Key West upon
Habana will bring about a complete
surrender. 1t should, for It's ability to
speedily silence the guns in the defenses
of the harbor, and force surrender is
unquestioned by any competent critic
But in any event we shall have to
occupy the island in force. We are
pledged in the strongest manner to at
once end the distressing conditions ex-
listing upon the island, and give security
to person and property. This necessity
for large force would still exist if the
Spaniards hauled down their flag to-
morrow, and evacuated the island as
fast as their ships could take them on
board. The greater part of the people
of Cuba are still disagreeably near bar
barism. Tens Of thousands of them are
negroes who were brought directly from
the slsve-pens of Africa. One-third of
them are blacks. and slavery was

RATES ~ NAI1ONAL ENCAMPMENT.
The Trunk Line Passenger Associ-
alton has adopted the following rule in
regard to the fares to the National En-
campment:
GAR. National Encampment Cincinnati.
o., Sept. 5 to 10. One fare per capita for the
round-txip, except that from points in the vi
entity Of western AerMini where double locals
or the regular excursion fares to such termini
added to fares autAsrized theyefrsm make less
than one fare, same may be used; tickets OF
form 2 modified to perRN Of return without
execution, provided extension privilege is not
availed Of, to be sold and good, going Sept
3 and 4, returning leaving Cincinnati not
earlier than Sept. 8, nsr later than Sept IS,
except that by deposit of ticket with Joint
Agent at Cincinnati between Sept. and 8,
both dates inclusive, and on payment of fee Of
25 cents, return LIMIT may be extended to
leave Cincinnati to Oct. q inclusive.
This seems slightly more liberal ar
rangement than we have been having.
The rate of one fare for both WAYS is
better than a one-cent-a-mile rate for
long distances, though not go good for
the short distances over which the great
bulk of the travel will be. For ex-
ample, probablyInine-tenths of the at.
tendance will be from the States of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, West Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, and western Pennsyl-
vania. The avetageira of fare there
is considerably in excess of two cents a
mile. The local rates, we think, are
generally about threeicents. But this is
again modified by allowing the roads to
use their regular excursion rates. Just
how this will work. cut remains to be
developed by a study of the local
tariffs.
