diana. Tho var in Cuba by the
patriots Tor Independence was bc.
gun In 1869 and has irngged along
ever since with varying degrees Of
success, taking now energy at times
and almost doomed to failure at
others.
The southeastern coast il moun-
sainous, some parts rising to nj,
elevation OF 5000 feet. The plains
arc we'll watcred and afford q lux
uriant growth Of tropical fruits,
coffee, sugar cane and tobacco.
Havana is the capital and larg-
es. seaport.
As d result Of Spanish barbarity
tho gentle. peaceful rnce which
Columbus found upon this island
have long since become extinct.
As soon as Spnin took possession
Of Cuba the inhabitants were made
slaves, and as they were wholly
unused to scryitude and the hard
ships imposed they soon died. His
tory says they thought the Span
iards came from Heaven, and mis-
took their ships for white winged
birds. How soon these simple
people we're undeceivcdl" The
history Of the Spaniards has ever
boon that Of cruelty and barbnrity.
Take, for instance, Mexico; when
the Spaniards discovered Mexico
it was inhabited by an intelligent
and highly civilized people known
as the Axtecs. In the 18th century
Cortez invaded the country, seized
the king and made IT . dependency
Of Spain. For 300 years the Span
iards plunderetl the country and
oppressed the people with the ut
most brutaIities. In 1921 Mexico
threw OIL the Spanish yoke and
becams a republic.
The Cubans have made several
unsuccessful attempts to free them
selves. II il hoped that the pres
ent conflict between the United
States and Spain will result in the
complete independence Of Cubs
and the Liberation Of all tho slaves.
Although matter Of history. it ia
mot generally known thst the re-
mains ct Columbus rest in one oi
the cathedrnls Of Havana. There
is, however, some doubt Of this
and the popular belief is that the
remains removed from Saint Do
mingo we're not thoso Of Columbua
and that they still rest at Saint
Domingo.

Wish Uncle Sam Success


The London Daily Graphic says
editorially:
Tho idea Of Kidding Cuba OF the
Spanisrds has been threatened by
American Statesmen during the
last half century, but the merit Of
acting upon it, with all its tremen-
dous responsibilities and risks
for It is . rit-belongs to Pres
ident Mckinley. The adequacy
Of his justification cannot be doubt
ed in England and every voice is
raised to wish the United Statcs
success.
|; Tho London Times says:
( No exception can be taken to
the course pursued by tho Spanish
government in avoiding the formal
presentation Of a document which
Spsin's previous decisions, IRE
vocably formed thefeupon, had
rendered practically superfuous.
The two nstions are at war. There
is no especial responsibility at
taching to firing the first shot, see
ing that both are clearly commit
ted to the arbitrament of war.
