OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING JULY l5 lS9&
A band of noble Cubans in New

n Dand OF noble CubanS In New
York, filled with patriotism, formed a
Junta pronounced Hoonta) or sort OF
Congress, and undertook the inde-
pendcnce OF Cuba. Money, arms and
stores were secured but the work was
difficult. Finally, about three years
ago, a Cuban leader appeared in one
OF the Eastern provinces of Cuba and
raised the standard OF insurrection.
His force at first is said to have num-
bered less than five hundred men.
Others joined to them and under the
brilliant leadership of Gomez, the
Maceos and Nunez, victory after VIC
tory was won over the Spanish forces
under Captain-General Martinez Cam
J pos. The reign of Gomez was marked
by fairness and clemency, so much so
that the home government displaced
him ,and put Weyler, "the Butcher"
in his place. With the advent of this
tiend in modern warfare all was
| changed and an era of barbaric cruelty
innovated, which has never been
equaled in modern times. Murder,
burning of property, rape of women,
torture of the helpless and aged, STAR
vation and every conceivable crime
In Al l.
of this barbarian, who had all the
vices and none OF the virtues of SOL
dier of the middle ages.
During his rule. entertainments,
called trochas, running right across
the island were established at various
points, strongly fortified and guarded
by Spanish soldiers, to keep the insur-
gents at opposite ends of the island
from joining. Notwithstanding this,
the Spaniards gradually relinquished
control of almost everything but the
provinces of Havana and Matanzas
and the coast cities. Finding it i'm
possible to defeat the rebels, Weyler
concentrated the people in cities. BY
this system all inhabitants in the
country were concentrated in the
larger cities and their farms left un-
cultivated and their homes destroyed.
Having so gathered these helpless non
combatants it was the duty of Spain
to have properly cared for them; but
this she failed to do and hundreds of
thousands of them have died OF ac-
tual starvation, cursing Weyler, the
Butcher.
All this time the relations between
the United States and Spain were
constantly becoming more strained.
Consul General Lee at Havana bore
himself like a true American citizen
and ably conducted our affairs. Ex-
petitions from our country constantly
carried aid to the Cubans, and al
though our Navy patrolled the coast,
they landed frequently and caused
constant bad feeling ON the part of
Spain. After the minister, Sagas ia,
succeeded as Premier in Spain,
Weyler was recalled to Madrid and
Captain-General Blanco. who had
victoriously subdued a rebellion in the
Philippine Islands, was put in his
place. For short time there was
less friction, but the we'll known love
of the American people for freedom
and their sympathy with the suffer-
ing Cubans so fired the sanguinary
Spanish nation, that it sounded its
own death knell by the explosion of
submarine mine by which visiting
warship and 266 gallant. marines were
sent to their doom.
They have already been avenged.

Well Said.

Here is an excerpt from the speech
of James Hamilton Lewis, Washing
tons able Representative in Congress:
Mr.. Speaker, under the cry of
patriotism which is ever conjured up
for the purpose of putting through
any measure here, 1 discover that the
set of men who are to be the bene-
ficiaries of this patriotism under
which and by which we yield up the
country's rights, sacrifice the poor to
the pillage of the tax-gatherer and to
those who plumber the treasury, l dis
cover that this is a set OF gentlemen
who are always above the law, who
condemn the income tax, who con-
nemn the power of taxation, who cry
out that every man who opposes
their methods is demagoguo or an
anarchist, discover this graceful set
of gentlemen. who are the embodi-
ment of public virtue, as the coal
trust, selling coal to the Spaniards, to
load their ships, to lombard our cities,
and blow our marines from the sea-"

WHILE prospecting for mineral in
the mountains back of Port Ludlow,
Saml. Craig made discovery which
is attracting considerable attention
among mining men. The ledge or
formation is cement, thoroughly i'm
pregnated with rubies, varying in size
from pinhead to a buckshot. The
cement, when exposed to air, becomes
soft and is easily crushed.

Brutal Murder or Aborlgincs and the Way

never hang a white for n few damned ~niggers."
Thereupon the others agreed. Anderson is said
to have been introduced about town as the
man who killed that lot Of nIRgers," His only
regret was that he would not be able to sec the
race for tho Perth Cup. The Chief Justice said
yesterday that he tried a similar case eighteen
logged to death. and tho jury acquitted the
prisoner altogether.
The facts in this case are peculiarly revolving,
and the brutality revealed is of an almost in.
credible character. Seven aboriginals. three of
whom were children, ran away from Bendhu. q

for their flight was said to be that the sheep in
