and his advisers that their course in de-
termining to hold Cuba is the only possi-
be one.
The whole line Of action Of the Cubans
since the landing of Gen. Shafters ar
my has shown a feeling of resentment
always very near the surface. The
American officers anaIyze it as simply
the inherent jealousy and suspicion of
the Cubans, bred in them by long con-
tact with the treachery of Spain. They
state that the treatment of the Cubans
in front of Santiago has been only such
as was absolutely necessary to the cam
paign.
An officer said to a reporter for The
Times this morning:
Gen. Shafter went to Santiago to take
Santiago and not to aid the Cubans in
doing it. His campaign was absolutely
in line with the whole policy of America
in Cuba. The Cubans have proven them
selves unable TO conquer Spain and
America has stepped in to do it for
them.
las on all former occasions so at San
tiago Gen. Shafter found the Cubans in
capable of giving any effective aid in
the actual battles. They were useful as
scouts, but never did any aggressive
work against strong Spanish resistance
Gen. Shafter necessarily commanded
the army that took Santiago The Cuban
part in the capture was nothing
ssThe Cubans refuse to understand
that America must take Cuba in it's own
way, and not in the Cuban way. which
would be impossible. They will have
to learn it by experience before the war
is over There is a growing feeling in
the War Department that the Cubans
must be eliminated entirely as a factor
in the war.
'aThe complaints of Gen. Garcia have
no real foundation. The newspaper dis
patches Indicate that he was formally
notified of the surrender of Santiago.
and invited to be present, but declined,
for his own jealous reasons. Even If he
was not notified. there was no obligation

Social Drinking.

Sir James Haslett. member of Parliament
ior Belfast. speaking at q meeting recently
held in London, presided over by the pres-
ent Archbishop of Canterbury gave
following important testimony, whicn we
commend to the statesmen and public men
OF the United States:
MY Lord Bishop, 1t is with very great
pleasure that / rise to propose that the
best thanks Of this meeting be given to you
for presiding on this occasion. think you
are the right man in the right place. The
church must lead II we are to have a
healthy influence in society. As stranger
amongst you, have had very great pleas
ure in hearing oil that has been said in re-
gard to total abstinence. I have never
tasted drink. And, what possibly is not an
others. The greatest difficulty we have Is
in the social intercourse of life--to enter
tain publicly, as a public man, without
drinking. So strong are social habits that
you have raised against you all the
weapons that satire and evil COM
are called mean and 'niggardly,'
and hundred other things. I think
my lord. that the change must come from
the women. They must act as q lever in
this matter, though l do not know very
we'll how they are to do it. 1t was one Of
my duties, as tho Mayor Of Belfast, to en-
tertan the representative of royalty. and
1t was Il difficulty with me how I could do
it without drink, Unfortunately, the Lord
Lieutenant dropped upon me just the week
after was appointed That difficulty was
greater, think, that I might have been
abletO withstand; but had then my wife
with me, and she said, We'll, you had bet
ter resign your Office We carried it
through at best we could. trust that the
recollection of that may still brighten her
life in the other world. But it Is the diff
Guilty of social life that you must seek to
unravel. You cannot do 1t by legislation.
| am bound to say that when I waited
upon the Loid Lieutenant and told him
about my difficulty, he said, My dear fell
low, would only spit upon you II you sac
ri1ced your principles Lord Londonderry
was too much Of u gentleman to seek that
should in any way lower myself, and felt,
MS an old Sabbath-schop teacher, working
amongst the young, and addressing meet
ings all my life, that II had then put drink
on the table l would have sacrificed all
that l had ever done. My Lord Bishop, it
Is not IN easy thing to act thus. I have
passed through q recent election, and my
bitterest enemies were those who sold
drink. 1t has been said in Ireland that the
readiest way to a mans intelligence is
kindly we are disposed after we get our
dinner. 1t has unquestionably an immense
influence; and there is a large class in our
country of whom 1t may be said that the
readiest way to their intelligencei is through
u glass Of beer or spirits. You have that
to fight against. During my recent con-
test, and during q contest ten years ago, I
never had at the election committee meet
lngs one drop OF strong drink. II we can
aot carry an election without 1t, then, in
Gods name let us surrender"

For several months new system
of trading has been in vogue in Wash.
ington, known as "the stamp plan"
A customer going into store which
belongs to the association, relates the
Chicago Record, is given ten cent
stamp with every dollars worth of
merchandise purchased. That stamp
is accepted in payment for other mer-
chandise purchased at a central agency
conducted by the manager of the as
sociation. This system has become
quite popular, but has been COM
planned of by merchants who have not
adopted it, and at their instigation
the authorities arrested the manager
and one of the most prominent mer-
chants in town on the charge of con-
ducting gift enterprise in violation
of an act of congress. The defendants
were convicted and fined 500 each,
but their attorney gave notice of an
appeal, and they were released upon
bonds of $500 until a test case may be
carried to the upper courts to deter
mine the constitutionality of the law.
The counsel for the stamp company
argued that the offering of premium
equally to all customers is not viola
ton of the law. because the element
of chance does not enter into the
transaction--the merchant simply
gives the customer discount or o re-
bate upon the purchase price. He
holds that if the stamp system is un-
lawful, the Rochdale system and all
other cooperative enterprises are
equally so, and that tea merchants
and others who give away china and
glassware and chromos are guilty of a
violation of the law. Several soap
companies and cigar dealers offer pre-
miums for patronage in the same
manner. The stamp system is in use
in several other cities, and the mana
ger claims its legality has never be.
fore been questioned. 1t will be
several months before the court of
appeals can hear the case, but the de-
cision will be matter of general in
terest.
