The War Scare.

Abbeville Merldional.
While we fully believe shat the
Nations honor should ever be fully
maintained and promptly defended,
we are growing weary listening to
the frothings and rawlings of the
jubilant idiots who are bowling for
war and denouncing Mckinley. 1t
is safe to say that but few of them
know anything about war and that
even less will ever go anywhere
near real war. A war with Spain
would cost, it is estimated, about
$500, 900 and all this money
will come out of the pockets of the
people. Then we have no army,
and it would take six months to Or
ganize, arm and discipline the raw
recruits. 1t would take months to
manufacture sufficient powder and
war materials to supply the army
and navy. Yet Mckinley is being
derided by lot of penny scriblers
and cheap curbstone orators for not
rushing the country into war.
These chaps yelling for war would
all stay at home and send their
wives relatives to the front. War
is not to be entered into unadvis-
cdly. 1t is terrible thing. Old
Tecumseh Sherman said "war is
hell and this picture of The battle
of Sedan by DR.. Russell of the Lon
don Times gives a faint idea of the
horrors of human carnage: "Let
your readers fancy masses of COL
ored rags glued together with blood
and brains, and pinned in strange
shapes by fragments of bones. Let
them conceive mems bodies without
heads, legs without bodies, heaps of
human entrails attached to red and
blue cloth, and disemboweled corpses
in uniform, bodies lying about in all
attitudes with skulls shattered, faces
blown off, hips smashed, bones,
flesh and gay clothing all pounded
together as if bray Ell together in
mortar, extending for miles, not
very thick in any one place, but re-
curing perpetual!y for weary hours.
and then they cannot, with the
most vivid imagination, come uD to
the slckening reality Of that
butchcry."

THE TZRG/W/US CASE RE-
CALLED.
Daily States.

PaIauc1-Ioe circumstances IN the
one being wrapped in doubt and
mystery, while in the other the facts
were blazoned to the world in all
their naked and jamnine brutality
the blowing up of the battleship
Maine recalls the capture off the
coast of Jamaica, October 31st,
1873, of the little wooden steamer
Virginius by the Spanish gunboat
Tornado and the subsequent mas
sacre of Captain Fry, thirty-six of
the crew and sixteen passengers of
the 165 passengers and crew on
board the vessel at the time Of her
capture. The captain and twelve
Others of the victims were Ameri-
can citizens.
Mr.. Charles Henry Butler has
prepared for the New York World
a full account Of this affair, taken
from the official correspondence at
the time. 1t will be remembered
that the ten years. war in Cuba
was then going on. The Virginius,
though no doubt a flibuster, was
sailing under the American flag and
on a voyage, according to her
papers, from Kingston to Lemon
Bay, when she was fired upon by
the Spanish gunboat and captured
as Prize-though not a short was
fired in resistance-and four days
later, on Nov. 4th, was taken into
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba and
information lodged against her as a
pirate. The next day the intendant
of the department commenced
series of trials which for expedition
and lack of judicial or even military
regulation, and for defiance of ali
the known rules of procedure
adopted In civilized countries,
whether in times of peace or in war,
have probably never been surpassed.
The proceedings, which were by
drum-head court-martial presided
over by military officials, were in
direct defiance Of the treaty of 1908
between the United States and
Spain, which provided that the sub
jects or citizens of each country
shall only he detained and prose-
cuted for any cause, civil or crimi-
nal, by order and authority of law
and accordings in such cases, and
that they shall be allowed solicitors
and counsel. Stranger still, the
charge stated was piracy, in regard
to which the regular courts would
have cognizance, and in regard to
which military court not possibly
have acquired any jurisdiction
whatever.
The first news received in this
country of the capture was by cable
from Henry G. Hall, then Acting
Consul General at Havana, to
Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State.
OF course the official dovecote was
nightly futtered. Fish cabled
General Sickles, then our Minister
at Madrid, to impress upon the
Spanish government the importance
of preventing any summary meas
ures and to give notice that If any
of our citizens we're ill-treated de-
mand would be made for repara-
ton.
Sickles did so and Instructions
were cabled to the Captain General,
but, characteristic of Spanish
treachery, the wires were conve-
niently down between Havana and
Santiago, and SO the victims were
"massacred." to borrow the Ian
guage of Vice-Consul Hall; shot
down like dogs, the executioners
placing their guns to the heads of
those who had only oeen wounded
at the first fire anu blowing their
brains out.
Meantime a storm Of indignation
swept over this country. War was
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1898-04-09

depreciation of the act will not be
accepted by the world as sufficient
to relieve the government of Spain
from participation in the just re-
sponsibility for the outrage. There
must be signal mark of displeasure
and punishment to which other
subordinate or local authorities will
have cause to look to as a beacon
on dangerous rock to be forever
avoided. X X
Such wholesale butchery and MUIR
der are almost incredible; it would
be wholly incredible but for the
bloody and vengeful deeds of which
Cuba has been the theatre. No
government deserves to exist which
can tolerate such crimes. Nature
cries aloud against them"
But the moutain in labor brought
forth mouse.
1t were alike cruel and unprofit-
able to inflict upon the reader all
the hogwash that was poured out on
that the commercial interest of this
country laid its velvety hand upon
and smoothed the wrinkled front of
war. Spain finally agreed to pay an
indemnity to the families of the
murdered men, turn the Virginius
over tc her owners, punish the Of
Tenders and release the survivors.
All, and there were two other inn
portant st;pulations-Spai was to
salute the American flag and give
this government the high privilege
of proclaiming that the massacre
was not altogether regular. AS US
ual under such circumstances, the
Madrid government evaded COM
pliance with some of the demands
in whole and with others IN part.
The vessel was turned over and a
crew put in charge with orders to
take her to New York. But she
never reached there. She sank
in gale off Whining
ton, N. c., and it was claimed at
the time that she had been deliber-
ately scuttled before her surrender.
Two years after the massacre $780,
900 were turned over to the govern
ment for distribution to the families
of the men. So far from the Of
Tenders being brought to justice
none of them were even arrested,
while General Burliel, under whose
the dastardly deed was
done, was not only honored with a
bull fight: but was
promoted from the rank Of briga-
dier to that of major-general. His
tory does not record whether the
flag saluting act was performed.
Yet, as a counter-poise to all this,
Mr. Fish enjoyed the sublime salts
faction Of telling to the world that
Spain had acted very naughtily in
this little episode.
Now, let us turn from this shame
full spectacle to the grand one pre-
sented by another actor in the
drama. Mr.. Butler reviews the
record thus:
every likely there would have
been more judicial murders perpe-
trated, as it was a sad waste of ma
terial to permit 112 survivors to go
unshot, but the aspect Of affairs
changed, and an unwelcome thun-
der cloud appeared on the horizon
to darken the carnival of blood
which was affording such intense
JOY to the dominant participants.
Hearing at Kingston, Jamaica, that
the Virginius had been captured
and that some of her crew or pas
sengers were British citizens, Sir
hampton Lorraine, of the British
steamer, Nibe, with full steam on,
fastened to Santiago, starting IN
such a hurry that he even left some

Feed and Water Regularly.

One has no idea until he experiments
how much depends upon the regularity
with which stock is watered and fed.
Once day in winter is not enough to
water stock, and ice-co1d water should
never be given. Water with the chill
off, but not sickly warm, should be
in reach of all stock at least three times
a day. Feed at given hour each
day. Make your duties allow you
this. Find how much is needed by each
animal, and give this quantity each time.
Everything will thrive better fed thus,
than to have feed and half to-day,
and half feed tomorrow. Weigh and
measure all things. Have some rule.
Don't guess. This is business.-M. A.
Cavendar, in Agricultural Epitomist.
