EXCEssES on CUBANs.


Since the American soldiers landed
in Cuba and were brought in close CON
tact and cooperation with the Cuban
insurgents many of them have changed
their estimate Of the character OF the
revolutionists. Repeated reports OF Gu
ban atrocities have brought forth pro-
tests from all parts OF the United States
and may lead TO rigid official inquiry.
Some OF the reports which come from
the front are to the effect that Spanish
prisoners placed in Cuban hands are
ruthlessly beheaded. That the Cuban
wishes to wreak his revenge upon his
Spanish oppressors is but natural;
still, we must bear in mind that our
government is conducting this war
along civilized lines and in the name
OF humanity. We cannot permit these
Insurgents, who are cooperating with
Dur forces, eating our rations and US
ing our arms and ammunition, TO re-
sort to such inhumane reprisals upon
the Spaniards who may fall into their
hands or be entrusted to their keeping.
Under existing conditions we are. TO a
greater or lesser degree, responsible for
their actions, and they should not be
permitted to commit excesses for which
we must apologize to a shocked world.
II the Cubans, in their thirst for re
Fenge. refuse to obey the inJunctlons
OF General Shafter in this respect more
drastic means ought to be employed 20
keep these irregular troops within the
bounds OF decency. War is a cruel
thing. even in it's mildest FORM Our
triumph over the Spanish arms is as
Gured. After the conflict is ended we
do not wish to have It said that our
success was sullied by cruel
practices. II we are fighting in the
name OF humanity we must be humane
and all agencies which we employ 70
accomplish our ends must be tempered
with That mercy, which underlies all
great military and naval operations OF
~AN pANNNhb No9s AlAtlN WAS llut III
the history OF the world when the grand
eur OF the victory was measured by
the destruction OF human life and prop
erty. It is 50 no longer. In these days
It is the desire OF both sides in a con-
dict between nations which are really
civilized TO reduce to a minimum the
loss OF life, destruction OF property, ex-
penditure Of money and interference,
with trade
If the Cubans will not hear these
rules and other rules radiatinl
from them, we have means at com
mand on Cuban soil to compel them L

employed to the end that Cuban hatre,
and vindictiveness may not detrac
from the glory OF our own achieve

MOONLIGHT EXCURSION TONIGHT
A TRIP TO WASHINGTON PARK

TRACTIVF.

A TRIP TO WASHINGTON PARK
THAT WILL BE UNUSUALLY AT
TRACTIVE.
What will likely be one of the most
enjoyable outings of the season will be
the moonlight excursion to Washing
ton Park tonight.
The excursion will leave King
street wharf at 7.3O o'clock D. m. On
account of the fact that Wilmington
excursions do not arrive at the park
until $50 O'Clock, it will be too late to
see the regular display of the electric
fountain. But as this excursion will be
given by the park management a spe-
cial display of the fountain will be
given for it. This will be a treat, as
the moonlight excursions heretofore
have all arrived too late to see the
fountain.
After this comes the bombardment
of Manila, an exact reproduction Of the
fight between Dewey and Montojo Over
81 900 worth Of ireworksare set off and
over 500 people take part in the per-
foImance. Nearly mile Of scenery is
used and the whole production takes
place on the water. According to pres
ent arrangements it is only intended
to produce this wonderful spectacle for
one week, beginning Tuesday evening
Shoot-the-chutes, carousals and all
courtesies of the park will be extended
Arrangements have been made SC
that tickets can be secured before the
excursion from E. S. r. Butler & Son
No. 42O Market street, and Brand Bros.
No. 407 Market street. Adult tickets
40 cents; children, from s to 12 years

COLLEGE PATRIOTISM.
The students at Smith and Mount
HolySlse Are Greatly stirred
By the Events of WaR.

On recent morning the Smith cor
lege girls had an opportunity OF seeing
at close range what the parting of 30
years ago must have been when the SOB
dier boys went away. A great crowd
gathered at the station at s:15 10 cheer
the soldiers on their way TO the state
camp. The band played patriotic airs,
cannon saluted, bells rang, whistles
blew and the people shouted themselves
hoarse, and the college girls helped in
the enthusiasm. For week or more
the college organ had been out of re-
pair, but at chapel that morning it was
ready for use again. DR.. Blodgett
played "rhe Star Spangled Banner" as
The girls marched out two by two, and
even the girl who did not sympathize
with the war felt thrill of the patriot
ism on that OCCASION.
At a class meeting which lasted the
entire afternoon, few days ago, the Ju-
niors discussed the advisability of Civ
ing up the promenade. Many argu-
ments were brought forward pro and
con-, but It was finally decided that the
best thing Smith girls could dol these
exciting times was TO keep the even
tenor Of their way, to do well the duties
before them, and to hold the junior
promenade on May II.
Mount Holyoke has not been behind
her sister college in expressions OF pat
riotism. On April - a flag was pge'
sented TO the students by Mr.. Hill, the
steward, and flagstaff by A. l. VIII
lister. At $3.50 in the morning the girls
marched, two by two, in long lines
from the different houses converging
on the south campus, where the flag
staff was placed. The flag was raised
amid much enthusiasm, and after the
formal ceremonies the girls sang 10
gether, alternating college songs with
national airs.
On May another American flag was
presented TO the college, this time by
, the Robert o. Tyler Grand Army Post
of Hartford, Conn. At chapel Miss Ha-
zen read letter of presentation from
the donors, saying;
"In this time of war and battle "nen
we, as true Americans, wish to show our
4 colors. It is the desire of the members
e Of Robert o. Tyler Post, No. 30, OF the
Grand Army of the Republic, Hartford
Conn. TO present this flag TO Mount
s Holvolse college. Throw it to the breeze
g and there let it wave until victory Is
= ours"
AS Miss Ifazen finished reading the
letter there was an outburst of hp
nIause; the audience rose as one CIR
}, and sang "America. IN. Y. Sun.
