ATROCITIES BY CUBANS.

! No matter how righteous the cause
for which war may be undertaken, it
| will develop in some the savage that
is in all men. 1t could scarcely be
otherwise when men are engaged in
killisg their fellowmen.
Before war between the United States
| and Spain was declared the stories of
Spanish atrocities in Cuba had horri-
fed the American people, had mortified
the world, in fact. But since the war
began, since Santiago was invested
there have come some stories of atroc-
tiles by others than Spaniards. Mr.. w.
r. Hearst, the editor and proprietor of
the New York Journal, over his own
signature, related some of these. Mr..
Hearst says that one Honore Lame
related this story to him:
I'm the block house where was with
you yesterday" he said, 1--WE found this
morning a few Spaniards. They we're
popping away. doing some damage and
giving much trouble.
Il found a Spanish prisoner and told
him to go to the block house and tell
those inside that the Americans were
about to fire a dynamite gun at them,
and they had best surrender. Forty of
them came out, and the Americans
kindly turned them over to me for the
Cubans."
His eyes flashed.
And what did you do with them %
He shifted contemptuously: 1--WE cut
their heads off, of course"
And yet, behind this amour of ven
geance, bred in the bone by century
of suffering, the Cuban is tender and
gentle. One seldom finds q man of
more generous and gracious impulses
than this same Lame. His hour has
come, and he is lost in the almost saw
age enjoyment of it.
General Shafter denied this, and Mr..
Hearst was roundly denounced by
many papers for telling wanton,
wicked lies, though had they been
falsehoods he was by no means respon-
sible for them. Honore Lame was his
authority, and he certainly spoke as
one who knew. But now confirmation
of LANES story comes from another
source, a source that will be given cred
it. A Savannah (Ga.) dispatch states
that Private J. D. Hacksteer, troop c,
First United States cavalry, who was
wounded at Siboney, says that when
the Spanish continued firing on our
wounded men and the Red Cross flags.
our men did not hesitate to turn over
the Spanish prisoners to the Cubans,
who cut off their heads.
Spaniards who did that deserved
death, but death after sentence by
courtmartial. To turn over prisoners
when it is known they will be DELHI
erately murdered. no matter how afro
cious may have been the deeds of their
companions in arms, cannot be justi-
fled; it is like the warfare of last CEN

mere appear to be some jealousies,
some heartburnings over the question
to whom shall be given the credit and
honor for the great victory won by
our navy over the Spanish feet at San
tiago. Do the credit and honor rightly
belong to Sampson or to Schley? What
captain and what vessel was it that
did so much more than the others that
they should be signaled out for special
praise? All have their champions. all
have their claims put forward in the
most convincing form. The average
American citizen will be very apt to
say that to Sampson and Schley alike
belong the credit and honor of the
great victory, that men never had bet
ter captains, with better ships, under
them, that each and every one is enti-
tied to unstinted praise. Nor is this
all. The average American citizen,
somewhat schooled in the methods of
modern historical research, will say
that behind all this were the sailors
and gunners, upon whose bravery and
efficiency the efficiency of the ships in
battle depended; and the average
American citizen will go further and
say that, still back Of all this is the
skill of American mechanics and ship
builders. The average citizen will say
that the great victory at Santiago is
symbolic of our form of government
the power of the people is back of
everything.
Who is entitled to the credit and
honor for Santiago? Sampson and
Schley and all the gallant officers and
brave men who fought under them.
And there is glory in abundance for all.

was because the Spanish feet had been
bottled there: attention had not been
drawn to that port before. An effort
was made to capture the fleet and city
together, and thus relieve our own fleet
from guard duty there. But now that
Cervera's fleet is no more, the army
will be divided. after the fall of the
another invasion, while the remainder
is left as an army of occupation. At
least such is the announcement.
Porto Rico's capture was considered
in the beginning of this war on account
of its Importance as a lookout post to
watch for Cervera's fleet. 1t is no lon
ger essential for that purpose, and it's
capture would only aid in it's conquest
and retention at the close of the war.
Every drop of blood spilled in the TAX
ing of Porto Rico will be shed for the
sole purpose Of conquest.

Speaking of the mining congress the
Helena Independent says: No action was
taken with reference TO bimetallism, even
to the extent of the expression of an
opinion on the subject. The question was
tabooed on the ground that it is of a
political character. 1t would hardly be
in order to spring the free coinage of sill
the federation of women's clubs but it is
difficult 10 conceive of more appropriate
subject of discussion in a mining con-
greSs. 1t was cowardly. to say the least,
to exclude from the programme at Salt
Lake a discussion of the silver question
and to prevent action thereon by the con-
Vention.
