AS TO INSURGENT AID.

In view of the unpreparedness OF
our army and the ACCESSIBILITY OF an
early general move on to Cuba, the
report of Lieutenant Rowan, who made
a perilous trip into Cuba at the out
break of the war, and returned safely
from the camp of Gen. Garcia, Is
encouraging as regards the military
assistance which the insurgents may
he able to give us.
IF they could be armed and put
through elementary training, anything
like our troops, they would make the
best soldiers in the world" declared
Lieutenant Rowan. Il say this UNI
reservedly, and especially of their en-
durance, knowledge of the country and
their obedience They have very de-
sirable qualities. A Cuban insurgent
will make a long march. go into camp,
and although apparently worn out he
will prepare an evening meal. he
puts up his hammocks, cooks supper,
goes into the forest to find sweet po-
tatoes for himself and his officers,
builds a fire, roasts them. and in fact,
is a general all around man besides be-
ing a soldier. His principal bill OF
fare is sweet potatoes. In fact, he
subsists on these. Any other soldier,

WAITING ON THE ARMY.

1t only remains now for the army to
complete the work SO ably begun by
Admiral Sampson at Santiago, and then
for both to do the same job over again
at Havana.
With the Santiago batteries pounded
into silence and the Spanish fleet bot
tied in the harbor and helpless the
army aided by the insurgents ought to
have little difficulty is seizing that
point and capturing the Spanish feet.
This is said to be the programme of the
President, whose plans, however, are
seriously impeded and delayed by the
unreadiness of the army to move on to
Cuba.
With Santiago under our control we
would form junction with the Cubans
and place Havana between two effective
fires. With the army in the rear and
the powerful fleet under Sampson and
Schley in front we could dictate our
terms to Blanco.
Meanwhile, everything waits on the
army.

THE VIBRATIONS DELAY.

The administration organs WHO IuSH
blindly to the defense of the President
and his Cabinet every time the delay
in getting the army on war footing
is mentioned, shouldsbear in mind that
even the President himself is veXed
and angry at the delay, which is due
to general incompetency on the part OF
those appointed to manage the equip
ment and movement of the troops.
This anger and impatience is not con-
fined to the White House but has
seized Secretary of War Alger, who is
more directly responsibles for the delay
than any one else among, the Presl-
dnts advisors, since he is the respon-
sible managing head of the army For
example, the conservative Washington
correspondent of the Boston Globe thus
quotes Secretary Alger in an interview:
Il am informed that owing to the
lack of invoices and bills of lading it
is impossible to determine in which CT
the freight cars now side-tracked in
long lines at Tampa the supplies need
ed by the outgoing army are To-
Gated. 1t seems to me-" said the Secre-
tary impatienetly bringing his fist
down on his desk, that with 10000
men under General Miles command at
Tampa it ought to be a very easy
no hn and fhnc
determine the nature of the articles
which they contain" All of which
shows that the delay and vexation has
brought the Secretary to the point of
encouraging lawlessness on the part of
the army in order to break the
soporific spell that seems to surround
it., which, however, is due entirely to
his own and the Presidents neglect in
not seeing to it that the matter Of
experimenting the movement of
troops and supplies was placed in the
hands of competent men, instead of
political favorites.
Meanwhile, it is a pretty figure we
cut in the critical eyes of the world,
and we can easily imagine the war
lords of Europe who are always ready
for war. chuckling with am1aemert
to themselves and thinking what an
easy mark the United States would be
in this war for any of them but poor
old bankrupt siXthrate spain. They
have repeatedly questioned our ability
To cope with any Of theif great mill
airy establishments, and our present
painful delay and hesitancy in
meeting the Spanish, who have
sent an army to within
100 miles Of our doors, must
convince them of our incapacity. and
The next time we invoke he Monroe
doctrine to hold their ambitions in
cneck in South America, thsy may not
feel it necessary to give sucA iced 10
our interference. And right there lies
the point of danger to the United
States in the present delay and ex-
hibition of gross incompetencey in mil
itary matters. What could we do in
The way of upholding the Monroe doc
lrine by force in the case, say, of such
power as England, when after more
than three months or preparation to
get an army together to move on an
enemy but 100 miles away, we are
scarcely half ready yet. 1t must not
.or a moment be supposed that for
eign governments are not watching

A London correspondent cables that
Great Britain refused to join other Eu-
ropean powers in trying to force Amer
lea to grant peace on terms proposed by
France viz: Spain to retain suzeranity
of Cuba and to get back the Philip
pines; no indemnity or anything else
for the United States except humiliation
by Europe. England's friendly refusal
has probably saved the United States
the necessity of defying all Europe.

The Presidents policy with regard
to Cuba and Porto Rico is said to be
the following: First, the landing OF
sufficient troops at Santiago to capture
the city, in conjunction with the in
surgents; second, the capture OF the
Spanish fleet by combined attack by
land and sea; third, the establishment
of a military government in the pro-
vince of Santiago as preliminary to
general government for Cuba; fourth.
tho capture Of Porto Rice by COM
bination of land and naval forces; and
lastly, the dictation of terms of peace
in connection with the surrender of
Havana This looks nice on paper,
but to carry it out the President will
have to see to it that some taller hus-
Ting is done in the near future than
has been done in the past.

or fighting under the same conditions,
fighting for liberty, would be just as
the Cuban insurgents are to-day. For
instance, they fight in ambush, strike
al the head of the Spanish column, fire
until their ammunition is all ex-
hausted and then retire to another
position until they get more ammuni-
ton"
Coming from a trained soldier, this
is decidedly the most gratifying report

with which they can be utilized to
