this expenditure. We could not certainly
promote the material welfare our people
III this was. But it Is urged we should
put aside sordid considerations like this
and intervene on the7ground of humanity.
Thousands Of people are starving5in Cuba
on count of the war which Spain cannot
bring to an end, therefore we should
intervene TO stop the war which Is the
primary cause of the starvation. We are
quito ready to admit that nation should
Cot shut its eyes to such considerations,
but before it acts upon them
1t should be very certain that its pro-
posed action is really in accord with
them. There can be no question that it is
the duty of the United States to employ
all the moral pressure it can exert to stop
the war in Cuba. Humanity demands SO
much of US, no doubt. But does humani-
ty demand, or would humanity be really
prlmoted, by an armed Intervention to
Stop the war? That is the question to be
| answered affirnatively before cur govern
ment will be justified in intervening on
Humanitarian grounds. The first effect
OF armed intervention must be to make
the condition of the people of Cuba who
are now suffering worse. What relief they
are now getting from the United States
will then surely be cut off. Before our
Intervention is successfully accomplished
all those WI are now starving will have
persisted. But this is not all. We can
not intervene without sacrificing the lives
of a great many of our own citizens. The
blowing up of the Maine with its great
loss of life shows the terrible possibilities,
indeed it may be said the terrible proba-
bilities, of naval warfare under existing
conditions. Furthermore intervention
will involve the necessity probably of
landing an army in Cuba where it will
be exposed to the deadly climate and the
deadly diseases which are incident to it.
And when the war is over, what then?
Will there be any guaranty then that the
conditions that we have interfered to re-
lieve may not soon arise again, conse-
quent upon the inability of the people
whom we have freed to govern them
selves, and may not another interference
in the name of humanity soon become
necessary again?
These considerations are entitled to be
weighed carefully before we launch out
into a war of intervention in the name
of humanity.

1sIT OUR DUTY TO INTERVENE?

We are not of those who believe that 8
nation should never interfere in the
affairs of another nation unless its OWE
peace or safety is concerned. Under some
circumstances interference may not only
be justified, but it may be also an imper-
alive duty. Nations are bound to live ur
to certain standards and to conform to
certain principles of morality and decency.
There Was ample justification fol-
European nations to interfere in Turkey
to stop the Armenian massacres A
nation, or what amounts TO the same
thing, the controlling portion of it, was
Systematically numbering a part of its
population. Inability to govern, as well
as government that Geiies all the ordinary
principles of Justice and morality, may
constitute ground for interference. A
give o dependency ord 5rly govern
ment, has forfeited its right to hold that
dependency. It appears clear that Spain
has demonstrated its inability to govern
Cuba as it ought to be governed, and
hence, has forfeited her right to hold this
island. If we should intervene and COM
pei her to abandon nominal sovereignty
as the rebels have already compelled her
to abandon real sovereignty, we should
commit an act of which Spain could not
Justly complain. We do not oppose inter-
vention in Cuba, because it will be an
encroachment on the rights of Spain. for
by long years of bad government and no
IL, hoe +aa rir,I,+
that she ever had in that province, but
because intervention will place upon our
own people burden which it is not their
duty toEassume. The existence of con-
ditions which create right to interfere
do not by any means. create duty to do
SO. The massacre of the Armenians
created condition which would have
amply justified Intervention in Turkey
by England. But it imposed no duty
upon that power to intervene and with
the probabilities then existing that inter.
ference might provoke a general European
war, the duty of England was better dis
charged by non-interference than it
would have been probably by interference.
1t must always be borne in mind that a
governments first duty is to its own
people. 1t exists primarily to promote
their welfare, and it has no right to put
that welfare in serious jeopardy by inter
ferriDg in the affairs of another nation,
even though that nation has furnished
sufficient justification for interference.
TIE question of the propriety of the
United States interfering in Cuba is not
answered by showing that Spain has for
feited her rights in Cuba by bad govern
nent. We must also show that interven-
ton ia compatible, or at least not incom-
patible, withTthe interests of our own
people which it is the first duty of our
government to protect and conserve. 1t is
predicted that intervention in Cuba
would cost this nation $500, 100000, and
many lives. Certainly it would cost a
large sum of money and not few lives.

we could not expect recompensation for

. Talk of intercepting the Spanish torpedo

Tells of the Sanitary Conditions in Cuba, and Thinks an Invading
 Army Should Not Be
Sent.

@ SAVANNAH, Ga, April 30.-Dr. G. w. Brunner, formerly United States sanitary inspector at Havana, has just returned from Washington, where he went to place valuable information in the hands of the surgeon general and of General Miles and the War Depart ment.
 Dr. Brunner, while in Havana, for the sum of $5130 month, had the orig inal reports from all the. Spanish mili- tary posts hospitals These reports are noW in the possession of Surgeon GeneraN Wyman. They show, Dr. Brunner states, that there were in the Spanish hospitals daily, out of an army of 10000 men, from 30,000 to 3D. 900. The unsanitary conditions sur rounding the men and the insufficient attention given them, together with lack of food, are responsible for these facts.
 Dr. Brunner also secured in the same way information about all Of the coast Notifications around Havana and per sonally saw planted eight of the Sub- marine mines now ir the harbor there. The plans have been placed in the possession of the War Department.
 Dr. Brunner does not think an army of invasion should be sent to Cuba. on account of the likelihood of great nor tality from yellow fever. He says that with the volunteers and regulars the Spaniards will soon assemble an army of about S0.000 men in Havana.

neys, Only those who endured the hard lips of the soldiers in the late war can realize the sad condition of many of the comrades after the con- fiict. Many did not break down inn mediately, but sooner or later. the ter- rible exposure endured in malarial dis tricts, together with the privations and sufferings experienced in the service. have broken down those previously rugged. To all such urge that Hood S Sarsaparilla be given a fair trial. It seems especially adapted to counteract and overcome poison and disease con- tracted in the South, and comes as near as possible to making the veteran feel young again.
 My official duties keeping me quite closely confined, it is particularly es- sential with the approach of spring that l take a medicine to brace me up. Hoods Sarsaparilla has done this eff fectively for many years, not only at spring time, but whenever I felt run down. It purifies my blood, tones up my system and gives me a good appe- tite.i In fact, it sends through me thrill of new life,
 T am glad voluntarily and publicly to indorse Hoods Sarsaparilla and to recommend it to all who know me or who may read these words. Joseph P Thompson, Middlesex County Court House, Gorham street, Lowell. Mass.

 For the first time in the experience of any army in actual service the com manding officers of the United States troops will have complete outfits for maintaining telephonic communication with the various brigades, regiments, etc, that go to make up divisions or corps of any army.
 For this the officials are indebted to General Greedy. the chief signal officer. By this means of communication thus afforded commanders will be able to immediately send instructions to sub- ordinates in the field and to receive re- ports of movements. General Greedy also has equipped and has ready for service his field telegraphic outfit.
 Several years ago Congress enacted a law providing for the creation of sum mary courts, the presiding officer of command at a post. These courts were to dispose of various small infractions of military rules by the soldiers. They were limited to time of peace" Ac- cording to an order issued by General Miles to-day, this being time of war the provisions of the summary court act are dispensed with and they are re- placed by the field officers court.
 This is in accordance with the eightieth article of war, which provides as follows:
