revelation TO the refugees. Surely 1T
must be true that these Americans who
had been held up to them as savages
were whgt they professed to be! Does
the history OF the wars Of the Spanish
nation chronicle such conduct by an IN
yading Spanish army? The Spanish ma
ture IS incapable OF understanding such
a mystery as is unfolding itself before
their prejudiced eyes.
When the history OF the spanlsh-
American war 70 written in the future,
the American people will md compen-

republic, in going to battle with mon

a stop to despotlc rule and starvation

Could such scenes as these which are
being witnessed within the American
lines at caney and other points about
Santiago, be expected on the Spanish
side were the conditions reversed? The
answer to the question is written in
blood Ia the history OF the more than
three years OF the Cuban insnsreclion,
ana that history is based upon the silent
contents Of the graves OF the thousands
OF innocent victims of indescFlbable
Spanish atrocities.

Elsewhere viii be found an important
letter which has been addressed 70 the
presidents of ali the county courts Of the
state by Mrs Mary Jackson Ruffner,
president Of the board Of the state home
for lncurables. Mrs. Runner states that

her effort is to get the number Of incura-
bles (not insane) In each county. with
the view OF reaching the poor children

cause Of the limited capacity OF the first

The statement made by Aira. RuRner
that the new building Will have capa-

vIdes that the home when completed
Will be provided with private rooms for

In the temper of the ocean waves the
next day, most'of the passengers pre-
ferred the wisdom OF remaining In their

johnson, who, overtoyed at the first
glimpse of his native land, opened mE
door and called out IN rather "pralr-

had made good start on Its days Jour

without doubt there were many OPP
posed to the annexation Of the Hawaiian
Islands who were sincere in their oppo-
si,ion, and in their arguments against
the measure Others were moved by
motives which have already been REFER
red to on numerous OCCASIONS Judging
from the character Of the arguments nf
some Of the sincere ones. It is apparent
that they have been misled by the mis-
statements and misrepresentation Of
the demagogues who we're using all
arguments but Just once against annex
alton. It is not strange that, even after
the measure has finally passed Congress
and annexation is already practically a
fact. some of the organs OF the opposl-
ton ara continuing their misreprescnta-
lions to the extent of making Vicious
and grossly false statements concerning
the terms upon which the islands are
made part of the territory Of the
United States.
In view OF this course which the oppo-
clifton organs have pursued, tt IS not
