COsT OF THE CUBAN WIAR.

The present rising in Cuba began in

therefore, nearly three years. Begin
ming in one OF the western provinces
on very small scale, it has spread to
all parts Of the island, and seems to be
as strong, confident and determined
to-day as at any time since II began.
lnsurgent forces are found I'M every
one OF the provinces. According to
the latest report of their distribution,
approved by the Cuban Junta in this
country, there are 36,500 men in arms
OF whom nearly half are in the cavalry
branch of service. Beginning with
the westernmost province, Plnar del
Rio which General Weyler pronounced
"pacified" before he was recalled
there are, west OF Weyler's trooha
near Havana, some 1900 insurgents.
under the command OF Generals Diaz,
Lorente and Ducasse. or these $500
are infantry and the rest cavalry
These constitute the Sixth Army
Corps. In Havana and Matanzas
provinces Is the Fifth Army Corps,
commanded by General Rodriguez,
with half a dozen chiefs of divisions.
This consists OF 1900 infantry and
1900 caValry. The Matanzas division
is In charge Of General Betancourt
In Santa Clara is the Fourth Army
Corps, consisting OF $500 men, under
General CarillO, assisted by Generais
Nunez, ArandO MOnteagudO and Jose
Miguel Gomez. This makes a total OF
1900 men in the western department.
In the two provinces Of the eastern
department, Puerto Principe and Sam
tiagO de Cuba, there are about 1900
men, most OF whom are in the latter
province under General CalixtO Garcia.
In the former is the seat OF the Cuban
government, at La Esperanza, in the
Cubitas Mountains, and the headQuar-
ters OF General Gomez, the commander
in-Chief Of the Cuban forces. These
forces are we'll equipped, and in the
eastern department have a plentiful
supply OF food. Thirty Thousand Gu
bans not In active service, are, it is
said. tilling the ground and furnishing
food to the insurgents. The Spanish

A wARNING TO OTHERs.

One Of the worst Of crimes against
soc,etv is an attempt to render nuga-
torv the efforts OF society to REFORM
chose who have wandered from the
mathis OF rectitude and whose continued
waywardness threatens the peace ana
safety OF society itself.
For instance, II man to whom
strong drink has proved a curse makes
up his mind to reform, and another
man. knowing OF his good intentions,
plays upon the strength Of his appetite
and the weakness Of his character TO
induce him to resume a course OF dissl-
patton which is ruinous to himself and
to his family and hurtful to society
that man is a serious menace TO the
community in which he lives and de-
serving OF universal condemnation
The same may be said Of young man
whotakes advantage ofthe moral weak
ness OF a young woman who voluntarily
places herself in thecustodyof suchper-
sons who would reform her characteror
who is placed in the custody Of such
persons by some regularly-constituted
tribunal such as the Municipal Court Of
this city.
The Delaware Industrial School for
Girls is entitled to full and ample pro-
lection Of the law in its efforts TO re-
form wayward women. There should
be no loophole Of escape left for any
man, be he young or old, who so far
forgets what he owes to society and
womanlnd as TO entice n girl from the
shelter Of the walls and influence Of the
institution back to the paths she trod
before 1t took friendly interest in
her
The fine imposed upon the three
young men who were instrumental In
inducing two OF the institution's
charges to break from the bounds Of
restraint was small, but it was suffi-
Client to warn all other men similarly
disposed, that the managers Of the
school do not propose to permit such
infractions OF the law to go unpun-
ished The young men who struck
such wantOn blow at the very tOunda-
-tiohs OF the institution should con-
gratulate themselves that they escaped
with the minimum fine OF $40 instead
OF having to pay the maximum fine OF
500.
The school receives support from In
divlduals and from the state Unless
the state will throw ample protection
about an institution which it deems
worthy OF financial aid its money is
wasted. But there is. we believe, nc
disposition on the part OF the state to
deny the school adequate statutory
protection, and il it is found that any
of the present laws are defective th'
General Assembly should be appealed tC
at once to cure the defects.

served a long term of imprisonment
for defending the honor OF his home;
his conduct while in jail has been ex-
emplary in every respect, and his latest
exploit, in connection with the recent
trouble at the Jail, marks him as a

him. Repeated efforts have been made

If the Wayfarer is correctly inform
ed, Hugh c. Browne, chairman OF the
regular Republican State Committee,
has received a letter from ex-POstmas-
ter Daniel #. Stewart, the newly-elect-
ed state senator, who went to Dover
yesterday and assumed the seat rem
dered vacant by the death OF State SEN
ator Robert ]. Handy.
Mr.. Browne, Of course, refuses to
give the letter for publication, but it IS
seldom that the affairs OF public men

OUR HYpRA-HEADED FRIENDS.

The new Republican club is not being
hailed with joy by the Addicks people.
They regard it as a scheme on the part
OF the regular Republicans to make use
of the want-to-win argument to break
through their lines and destroy the
Union Republican organization. One
Addicks man OF prominence declares
that it ia nothing more than an Office
holders club, and that it hopes, by
means Of assessments laid and prom
ises made, to secure a campaign fund
sufficiently large to dominate the pri-
maries and nominate slate after slate.
with the Offices rotating among its own
members
There has not been a rush Of the ag-
gressive regular Republicans to join
this new club. This is due, no doubt,
TO the fear that such rush would deter
Addicks men from joining it. But it is
safe 70 say that there will be no STAN
pede for cover on the part Of the Ad-
dicks people. They have been tricked
by the regular Republicans so many
times that they will now carefully
study every movement made before
committing themselves to It.
II things go as they have been going
we shall soon have three distinct Re.
publican party organizations in the
state-Regular Republicans, Union Re
publicans and Want-to-Wln Republi
cans.
With three heads, three wings an'
three tails the Republican party ough

COUNSEL.

THE PAYMENT OF WITNESS FEES
IN ADVANCE INSISTED UPON BY
COUNSEL.
A dispatch from Philadelphia says:
Deputy Register Irwin yesterday
took the testimony of Emma e. Sted-
ham, of Wilmington, Del, co-executrix
Of the disputed will and codicil of
Mary e. Rubencame. when she was
called for examination by counsel
representing DR.. Benjamin f. Will
liams, the contestant. Under the codi-
Gil, a legacy of five shares OF PENN
sylvania railroad stock left to him uI.
der the will was revoked. The eXami-
nation was conducted under a constant
fire of objections by the attorney rep
resenting the opposing side, some OF
which were allowed and others over
ruled. The material point of the wit
ness's testimony was that Mrs. Ruben
came had been very anxious to get
away from the house of DR.. Williams,
where she had been living, but chat
she had no idea as to where she would
go. She was particularly desirOus of
consulting Sonora Douglass, a niece,
who was one of her legatees.
"The witness, in replying to the
question whether MRS. Rubencame
gave amy reasons for revoking the be
quest to DR.. Williams, replied that she
did and that she declared that if So
nora Douglass could not get TO see her
She would revoke the bequest Of the
shares OF Pennsylvania railroad stock
made to DR. Williams. Counsel repre-
senting several women from Whining
ton, who had already testified on behalf
of the validity OF the codicil and who
had been called to testify on cross-ex-
animation by the attorney for DR.. Will
iiams, then. declared that they must be
paid Uheir witness money in advance.
The opposing attorney replied that the
bond guaranteed that. but the cther
attorney said he did not know any
thing about the bond, and insisted
upon the payment of the fees and the
formal service OF - subpoehas; ether
wise he said they would not appear
After a heated discussion between the
attorneys, Deputy Register Irwin ad-
jOurned The hearing to next Monday" ="
