A Call.

In accordance with ths recent procla.
nation issued by the President Of the
United States, calling on all patriotic
citizens, we, the undersigned cali a
meeting at the court house Monday
next for the purpose Of organizing VOL
unteer company in the County Of
Brazo', City Of Bryan.
The National tribune., 1898-08-18
SEND 100, 900 MEN TO CUBA.

The best, cheapest and altogether the
wisest thing the Government can do is
to send not less than 100000 men into
Cuba this Fall.
Two hundred thousand men would be
still better.
These should be marched through the
entire length of the island, and then
scattered in garrisons in every city and
town.
The American soldier should be
strongly in evidence from Cape San
Antonio to Punta Maisi.
We have before us the task of Ameri-
canizing, in the shortest possible time,
some 100000 to 100000 people,
who are at present utterly un-American.
Some are actually barbarous, some semi
barbarous, some pseudo-civilized and
some Spanish-civilized.
The quickest and cheapest way to
bring all these elements up toward our
standard is to put directly before their
eyes splendid specimens of right-think-
ing, right-acting young American men,
such as compose our regiments, who will
incuIcate American ideas by precept
and example-by actual force, wher-
ever necessary.
The next good result will be that al
least half of these young Americans
will see the splendid opportunities af
forded by the island, and settle down
there when discharged. They will thus
become the controlling element in the
island, they will succeed in life, gel
property and commanding social posi-
ton, there will be enough of them t.
obliterate the influence of Spanish
ideas, they will send for their best girls
their fathers, mothers, brothers and
sisters. and those Of their wives, and al
most before we know it the island vii
be throughly Americanized, and one O
the most beautiful and fruitful spots il
the whole world. 1t will be a posses
sion to be very proud of.

eminent, but it is the merest shadow.
Nobody knows where it is, or what it
has been doing. Its President, whoever
he may be, has never issued procla-
nation or an order to its armies that
has been obeyed. 1t has no Capital, no
offices, no seaports, no judicial system,
no constabulary, no postofices, none of
the necessary appurtenances of Gov
eminent. If it has such a thing as a
Congress or Legislature, it is not at all
in evidence, and no one has heard of
any laws for the government of the
army, navy and people.
Certainly these omissions are strangely
in people claiming to be
capable of selfgovernment.
The National tribune., 1898-08-18
THE CUBAN PATRIOTS.

The embarrassment to us of the
character of the Cuban insurgents has
not merely just begun. 1t has existed
from the very first. They would have
been recognized more than 20 years ago,
if they had showed any capacity for
selfgovernment. President Grant, who
was favorable to them, found the same
difficulties that President Cleveland did,
who was opposed to them. Every other
people who have successfully struggled
for freedom have begun by establishing
responsible civil Government, which
ha. put armies in the field, controlled
them, and directed them to a definite
purpose. Without such Government
forces in the field, no matter how valiant
and enterprising, have been simply
banditti, organized for plumber and the
overthrow of society. The Cubans
have, indeed, put up q phantom Gov

Capt. Gregory Barrett, 10th U. s.. died OF
yellow fever at Santiago. He was a Mary
land Union man, and raised q co pany
for the 4th Nd, which he commanded
until he was promoted to the Colonelcy Of
the regiment At the close of the rebel
lion he went into the Regular Army as a
First Lieutenant, but did not become
Captain until 1884. Promotion was very
slow in his regiment. He was in Okla
homa, in command of Co. A, 10th U. s., at
the breaking out of the Spanish war, and
his family tried to dissuade him from
going, as he was g. years old. But he in
sisted on going. His regiment suffered
severely in the fighting but he passed
through without a scratch, and was in
commend of the regiment when Santiago
surrendered
