THOUGHTS ABOUT CUBA.
BY MEMO.


Three years and more have elapsed since
the present Cuban rebellion broke out. 1t
is probable that in history past or to come
no parallel to its conditions will be found.
The rulers of the island, unable to defeat
the insurgents, are themselves indicated !;
and the insurgents, elusive and tri-
umphant and enduring beyond usual meas
ure in guerilla warfare, are no nearer the
actual accomplishment of their purpose
than they were at the outbreak of hostil-
tiles. Nature and her CHASTITY hand
maiden, Pestilence, have fought for the
insurgents; but Natures battlings have
been balanced by new arrivals of Spanish
soldiers-men, some of them; boys, many
of them-forced almost at bayonet point
to take the places of the diseased and the
dead. Against the doggedness of the in
surgent the pride of the ruler has been
matched The insurgent can hold out in

thirteen years old, awoke with sore
throat and great difficulty in breathing.
My wife tried old remedies, but got
out DR.. Hartman's book, entitled "The
Ills of Life" and following his direc-
tons for the treatment of Group, gave
the boy Pe-ru-na. In half an hour he
was sleeping. The next morning he
was well. If 1 had taken the time to
have gone five miles for the nearest doc

When a man sees a weak one prosecuted
and refuses to side with the weak he is no
man. The rule for a man is the rule for a
nation. Murder of women and children
helpless and enfeebled and starving, is at
our door; at last we begin to appreciate it.
Their broken lives, their untimely deaths,
their rights to happier condition are

While the stubborn warfare of these I'M
yielding forces has proceeded with fiuc-
tuating results that in the long run have
practically balanced each other, third
army OF human beings has been slowly
ground to destruction. OF their woes we
must think and, having thought, we must
act. Though the Spaniards have been
chiefly confined within the limits set up
by themselves; prisoners, in fact. within
their own forttications, yet they have re-
tanned fear compelling power over the
feeble minds of the children and the tim
orous natives of both sexes who were
afraid to fight and did not dare to flee.
These pacifcos quietly obeyed the gov
eminent when orders went forth through
the country regions to gather within
town limits and stay there. The ex
pected freedom to live in peace under the
surveillance of the Spanish army, changed
at once into death dealing bondage Tn
able to cultivate land to any great extent,
herded together in huts untit for swine,
suffering from lack Of food, and by lack of
food rendered more helpless and weak
spirited than before, they have died like

fered Woes that are unequalled even by
the bloody suficrngs OF the Armenians or
the plague ridden starvation Of the

The language Of a moderate woman
like Clara Barton, The famous led Cross

comparisons In one hospital alone il

Let us be careful that our motives are
pure and our minds unconfused. War or
even the thought of war over such matter
rs unworthy our contemplation. 1t would
be an absolute reversion to the barbaric
Feasibility of olden times. We have grown
away from such things.
The selfish motives of tobacco factors
and sugar gamblers in pointing out to
great, fair minded country chance to
fitch from Spain, because she is weak, that
which is hers as truly as New England is
ours, has moved us to condemn and not
to approve. Ne refuse to add to our rad
zeal problems at the nod of self-seeking
men. The heart of the nation is unre-
sponsive to such temptation, and further
more the terrible MAINE" disaster, with
its sorrow and its loss, has grandly shown
to the world that we are slow to anger and
plenteous in conservatism. Despite all
guesses to the contrary, our people have
refused to believe that the Spanish gov
eminent could be suicidal enough to have
direct connection with the disaster. We
believe that she would foresee more dam
age to herself than to us in this sudden
and horrible event. II this were all that
had happened, an indemnity would have
been sufficient and war be quite con.
trary to international presidents.
But while this nation, set in might to
lead the western hemisphere, can stand
insults to its vast self it cannot permit in
humanity to its weak neighbors. 1t will
enter into conflict with Spain not because
certain of victory, but because Spain
slaughters the innocent. This nation be-
lieves in the glories of peace, but it must
be peace with honor and not with dis
honor that assuredly comes from silence
in the presence of brutal abuses. BY its
own past it knows full well the horrid
cost of war, yet its great, true, heroic
heart beats high to declare that it is bet
ter to die in protecting the defenceless
than to live in falsehood to its grand past.
Its conscience is aroused. Its arm is bare
to smite and that swiftly, lest there be
none of the starving left to save.
With such pure motives, its actions will
have the cordial good will OF European
nations short decisive work will be
made of the solemn task, and when the
smoke has cleared justice will have been
done to the unjust, and Cuba Gbre7 may
then develop IN quiet its own individ-
uaIity.

After Marchand Leaves Fashoda England
Will Negotiate.
LONDON, Oct. 24.-The French yellow
book on Fashoda seems to indicate an
intention on the part of the French gov
ernment to use the Marchand affair as
a means of raising the whole Egyptian
question. This impression is confirmed
by the comments of most of the Paris
papers.
The London press admits the gravity
of the situation revealed by the yellow
book, but the papers are unanimous in
declaring that it is impossible for Lord
Salisbury to consent to any negotiation
until Fashoda is evacuated.
AS, however, the French minister. M.
Delcasse, with equal firmness declines
to withdraw Marchand without previous
negotiations the situation has an omin-
Ous look.
