The Ungratefui cubans.

The Cubans are proving an migrate
full lot This government, at great
expenditure of money and some loss of
human Lille. is now engaged in fierce
conflict with the government OF Spain,
with the avowed object of driving that
country's armed forces out OF Cuban
territory. and placing the island under
the political control of its own people.
In this work it might be expected
that the United States would meet
with the hearty corporation of the
patriotic Cubans, particularly since the
latter have been struggling for years
for Independence. and during the EAST
three years have been in open armed
rebellion, with this object in view.
But the reports from CUBA arc very
disappointing. II was, all slong, a
matter of surprise to our people what
had become of the Cubaha, who were
naturally expected to be strong allies
of our troops. But they did not seem
to figure in the conflict. and the news
printsd yesterday showed them to be
Indifferent to anything saws the food 80
freely given them from our supplies 1t
also showed that they had absolutely re-
fused to either fight or work. and that
they are now in the sulks because they
are not permitted to take possession of
Santiago and loot the city to their
hearts, content.
This is a discouraging picture.
Small thanks we are receiving for
doing SO much for Cuban Independence.
Surely. little promise of a successful
experiment in the line of free popular
government can be expected from such
people.

POLITICS IN KENT COUNTY.

Distrust of Union Republican leaders
coiored Voters Think OF Calling state
Convention.
Dover, July 20.--In view of the call for
the Union Republican State Convention
to be held here on August 30tl, there Is
very lively talk among Republicans.
Regulars and Addicksites alike complain
of want of leaders. The Union State
and county committees they regard as
simply the tools Of Addicks, They
realize how, in 1896, the Union Republic
cans nominated State and county tickets,
not 10 the interest OF the Republican
party or Of the people, hut in the inter
csts of j. Edward Addicks, and they re-
joice now that there were those who did
not follow his dictation. They believe
that II a general convention were called
by such men as Manlove Hayes, l. N.
Mills, Joseph A. Whitaker, ID. Miffiin
Wilson, Harry A. Richardson and Joshua
Parker in this county, q State committee
could be named that would have the con-
tidence of the majority, and candidates
for offices nominated that would have the
support of all.
Joshua Parker. John Thompson, John
Somcrs, Charles Potts and other leading
colOred voters are in correspondence with
leading colored voters in New Castle and
Sussex counties, arranging for n conven-
ton of the colored voters of the State, to
DC held in Dover early in August. They
say there are 10000 colored voters in Del.
aware who have always been loyal to the
Republican party. In 1896 the majority
of them were deceived by Addicks' lieu.
tenants. Their taxes were paid and tax
receipts held and SO manipulated that
whether they SO inclined or not they were
made to vote the Union Republican
ticket, whereby Addicks and other men
were elected as delegates to the conven-
ton at st. Louis. but whom the national
organization refused to admit They
claim that in the conduct of the State
campaign these men did not act as Re-
publicans, and they now declare they will
not be fooled agoin.

STABBED IN A FREIGHT CAR.
A Vicious Tramp Murdarousiy Assault
John Kelly of Scranton. Pa

VICIOUS tramp MurdarouSly Assaults
John Kelly of scranton. Pa.
At an early bour yesterday Police
man Ford found a man lying at Liberty
etrnet, near the tracks Of the Baltimore
d Ohio railroad. The man was uncon-
scious, and on investigation it was
found that he had been stabbed In
three places.
IL was aftervard learned that the
man WIS John Kelly, Blacksmith by
occupation, and resident of Scranton,
10. Accompanied by his son, he had
been engaged in bridge construction in
the vicinity of Baltimore and they were
on their way home. They had entered
a freight car, and sometime during
Tuesday night three men entered the car
where they were aslsep, and after strik-
ing light one of thom assaulted the
elder Kelly. This man was afterwards
arrested in another car and gave the
name of Frank Davis. John Cummings
and Thomas Thompson we're also ar
rested as accessories.
None OF the wounds received by Kelly
is considered of serious nature,
although one is In the Immediate
vicinity of his heart. The other wounds
are on his leg.
Whom Davis was searched ut the
police station, two largp pocket knives
were found ON him. In Municipal
Court, yesterday, he was fined sl0O
and sentenced to six month imprison-
mont. The other two were discharged

our Flag Floats ovsr SANTIAGO.

In the city Of Santiago. at noon Sun
day. the stars and stripes were
fioated over the civil building, and the
city was formally given into the pos
session of the American forces. The
pleasing event was attended with the
booming of cannon, the stirring strains
of our national airs upon brass bands,
and other demonstrations OF joy.
1t is well that not only our army in
Cuba. but all the people OF this coun-
try should rejoice at this glorious con-
summation. 1t was accomplished AUG
cessfully, and. after the skirmishes of
July LIST, I'd and 3D., without any sacri-
fec OF human life. General Shaftsr
says he is satisfied, after an examine
tion of the complete and numerous de-
fences with which the city was guarded,
that the taking Of the place by assault
would have cost him at least i've thou
sand men in killed and wounded, To
accomplish the object of bis campuign
without such an awful sacrifice is
cause for the despest thaukfulness.
The taking of Santiago is also
fraught with consequences of deep i'm
portance. Coupled with the announce.
ment that Porto Rico is next to DO pro-
ceedod against, and that Commodore
Watson is to start Immediately, with a
powerful feet, for the coast of Spain,
it forms an object lesson which Spain
cannot afford 70 disregard. 1t shows
her the folly OF longer pretending to
fight this country, and in consequence,
Madrid is now looking around for an
opportunity to sue for peace. Let US
nope that it will soon be availed of.
Spain has everything to loss, and moth
ing TO gain, by longer attempting to
keep up the farce of opposing the vic
torious armiss and pavy of the United
States

The State committee of the Union
Republican party mas issued call for
State convention, to be held ut Dover
on Tuesday, August Both, for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates for Con-
gross and State ollieos. The call is
directed to .'all tho electors of the
State of Delaware who supported at the
polls in said State, in the year 1896,
the successful candidates for the Offices
Of electors for President aud Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States
The call, therefore, embraces very
wide scope. 1t includes both Regular
and Union Republicans, as well az the
many Democrats who, for fear Of free
silver triumph, voted directly for the
Mckinley and Hobart electors, instead
of confirming themselves by cutting
their ticket or voting for the Sound
Money Democratic nominees.
Nevertheless, this Gail ia issued by
tie Union Republican marty, and
although its tenor is decidedly 10 the
direction of Republican harmony, il
clearly indicates the lines upon which
Republican harmony.if it is to be,

can party, and no is an aspirant to the
United States Senate. determined to do
all in his power to secure his ambition.
lie has only recently declared his I'M
ulterablo purpose to continue after the
senatorship, and any scheme Of party
harmony That is adopted must neces-
sarily include an acquiescence in Mr.
Addicks' demands, in the event of Re.
publican victory in the State.
In pursuance of his ambition, Mr..
Addicks, We are informed, is already at
work, manipulating matters so as to
secure the nomination, for Senators
and Representatives in tho General
Assembly, of Republican candidates
who will vote for him for United States
Senator. 1t will not matter to him, of
uoursa, much whether such candidates
are Union or Regular Republicans. SO
long az they are Addicks Republicans.
All such will receive his hearty sun
port, and it is said that he Expresses

Wilmington III just now afflicted with
what may Justly be designated SOL
dier nuisance" and very annoying
nuisancs 1t ia. 1t is becoming so seri-
Gus, in fact, ms to call for prompt
remedial measures by thoss who havs
tue authority.
At present ovor 2, 200 soldiers are en-.
camped within a two hours journey of
Wilmington, and this city 10 the mecca
of all who obtain leaves of absence.
At Middletown the First Delaware
Regiment is oncainped. many members
of which reside IN this city. There are
roo nt Montchanin and about TOO at
Fort Delaware and Fort Mott.
Ordinarily, these soldiers would he
welcome to visit Wilmington at any
time, but il cannot bs donled that many
OF them have been making of themselves
a serious nuisance while here. They
get drunk andi boisterous, thereby Civ
ing trouble to the police. who naturally
feel inclined to be tolerant with men
who have signed and sworn to give
their lives, il necessary, for the defence
of their country. Another and more
serious evil is the fact that many othors
deliberately set about to accomplish
the moral destruction of girls and very
young women who, attracted by tho
glitter OF uniform and accoutrements,
are blindly led to consider oach soldier
deified hero, and give free rein to an
alteration that threatens most disastrous
results.
With our soldiers at Middletown, the
great trouble is that they are kept too
long in their own State. 1t makes them
FESTIVE for change, and naturally dis
inclined to submit 10 proper discipline.
1t is eaid that as many as two hundred
were recently marked absent without
leave. Once put into active service
add taken away from the attractions
that environ them here, there is no
doubt that the Delaware soldiera would
give good account of themselves. and
become regiment of which the State
could feel as proud as it still does of
the fighting regiments it contributed to
the country during the Civil War.
With tho Delaware regiment sent into
active service, the trouble with the
other soldiera could be mure easily
dealt with. If tbs officers of the differ
eut organizations do not take tho matter
in hand and refuse leave OF absence to
those WIN SO shamefully abuse it, the
authorities of Wilmington will have to
act in summary manner. The nui-
sance has gone IN as long as IT can be
borne with patiently.

Washington, July Authorization
has reached the War Department that,
Notwithstanding tbs medical examina-
tion prior to muster 10, men have been
enlisted in the volunteer army who
should have been rejected as NIT for
military service. The Adjutant. Gen.
eral has issued an order directing that
systematic inquiry be made, with a
view to eliminating such men from the
organizations by tho medical officers.
A board of medical officers, the order
aays, should be appointed In each diyi-
sion to carefully examine and make re-
commentator in each OF the cases sub
nitted by individual or regimental
medical officers.
In every case where discharge from
the service is recommended il should
be seen that the certificates of disa.

that the cause of the disqualification
for the military servine existed nrior to
the enlistment of the man, if such ia
found to be the fact. Department and

Sussex county's financial affairs arc
in sad plight, according to the Sussex
journal of Georgetown, and We do not
believe il would deliberately misreprs-
sent the situation for partisan effect.
There is ample evidence that the pre-
sent Republican Levy Court has been
reckless and miserably incompetent.
"The condition of the finances Of this
county were never 10 such a sad plight
as now" gays the journal. "The
county officers who are SO unfortunate
as to have to be paid their fees or
salaries 10 county orders, are little
better of than If they wero paid in SO
much yellow paper. About the only
way one can get anything out of a
county order is to pay hia tax with it,
but there is nothing SO extremely nice
in that. The like was never known
under Democratic rule. But then We
car expect no better from Levy Court
that deliberately cancels the bond of a
collector who had failed to meet his
bond; and this is only single instance
OF their Gins. The people at the polls
next November will right some of the
mistakes they have made 10 the past,
The Republican party must go.''
