today is not how long the Cuban re-
public will last, but how long Spain
can continue her costly efforts to sup
press it.
The first year of the struggle was the
most critical. The appeal of the revo-
mtionary party, headed by the lament
ed Jose Marti, was welcomed in sew
eral Of the provinces, to which war ma
terial had been successfully carried
but the Spanish authorities got wind
of the contemplated risings, and in
Puerto Principe seized arms and am
munition. A few days after the ia
nous Feb. "a Captain General Calleja
declared the provinces of Matanzas and
Santiago to be in a state of siege. The
movement spread. Maxine Gomez, by
the vote of the leading officers of the
former revolutionary war, was chosen
commander-in-chief Bartolome Mas
so, Rabi, and other well-known citi-
zens cast in their lots with the patriot
cause, while the two Maceos and other
veteran leaders landed in Santiago,
where the people flocked to their stan
dards.

Spain quickly rose to the emergency,
and within two months after Feb. "a

rebellion before the end of the autumn.

was no trifling one, while in July, when
commanding in person, he was defeat

Meanwhile Gomez and Mart had set
out for Puerto Principe, and in their
first severe conflict the heroic Marti
was killed. Gomez pressed on, and in

Several events of the past month
suggest that the "chevalier without

in the new womanhood. In a certain
western city a girl OF twelve held a

effectively used her hat-pin in defense
of a street car conductor who was be-
ing robbed OF his fares, and group OF
fifteen women of varying ages and con-

cry in the southern states of the union
