1t seems almost incredible that there can

scru,inize the Telephone Fiuuuces

The street railroad companies operating
IN the District of Columbia are required by
law TO submit annual reports of their OPP
erations, earnings, expenses and other
items connected with their enjoyment OF
the franchises that have been granted to
them. That these reports are not as vaIu-
able as if they frankly gave in every case
all the information desired is evident. But
the documents furnish the basis OF estina-
tions and enable the citizens and Congress
TO obtain fairly accurate idea OF the
value Of the charters to the companies
holding them.
There Is no good reason why such a law
should not apply also to the gas company
and the telephone company. They are
mi-public corporations. holding exclusive
franchises. receiving large sums from the
citizens for the use of what are practically
necessary commodities. They are both

Tuesdays cable from Havana contained
this statement:
Gen. Pando met at noon today the. edi-
tors of the local newspapers and issued IN
structions prohibiting them to write, di-
rectly or indirectly, or in an ironical Vein
in dispaIasemcnt of the enorts peing maoe
to secure peace or in attack upon auton-
oniy. The manifesto prohibits also the
writing of anything disagree able to friend
Iy nations. and concludes with declara-
tion that any newspapers falllng 10 comply
with these instructions Will be suppressed.
These were not the first Instructions of
the kind the Havana editors had received.
But their renewal emphasized pressing
necessity. General Blanco was on the eve
of his return, empty-handed and down.
hearted He had gone forth with his pock-
Cts stuffed with bribe-money on the hunt
for weak-kneed insurgents. He was ex-
pecting to make some valuable invest
nsents. and then to proclaim important
progress in establishing the policy of au-
tonomy in Cuba. General Pando was seek
ing to protect his chief upon his arrival at
home He was arranging for an effective
guard against the truth. So he rounds up
the Havana editors, renews the official tag
on them, and sends them home again eau
TONED net only against telling the truth to
to such readers as they might have abroad.
1t was d thoroughly Spanish proceeding.
But it was out of date so far as the out
side world is concerned. The truth about
Cuba can no longer be suppressed. The
world does not rely upon Spanish pens in
Cuba. OF upon Cuban pens under Spanish
influences. for the daily record of events IN
the island. 1t looks, and not in vain, to
other sources. The truth will find it's way
through, despite General Blanco. General
Pando, and their early probable successor,
General Smash.

Senior de LONE has exposed the whole hum
bug of autonomy, and although he is in dis
grace his word on that point has weight.
He knows his subject when that subject is
Spanish diplomacy. But General Blanco
will not of course admit defeat. He may
be expected to assume bold a front as
possible. and to carry on the farce to the
