CUBAN TROUBLES.

Assuming the latest advices from
Cuba to be reliable there is trouble
ahead for us in that island. The Cuban
soldiery refuse to go to work, the lead
ers of the late army are dissatisfied
with the free gift of $1,000, 900 the
United States makes for the payment of
the army The result is that Gomez has
or is withdrawn or is about to with
draw from active participation in the
work of adjusting the affairs of the
island, and the members of the Cuban
army are manifesting an ugly DISPOSE
ton, threatening new instruction,
this time against the United States.
The common soldiers of the Cuban
army most illogfcally say that they
have been fooled and trapped" by the
Americans. This is not true, and none
know it better than the Cuban soldiers.
All we have done is to drive out the
Spanish, secure the peace Of the Cuban
State, and set the wheels of industry
once more in motion. We have not
sought to conquest the island OF OPP
press the people. Ours has been and
is a work of mercy and humanity. If
the objects Of this good work are SO
dense of intellect as not to comprehend
the fact, and in consequence revolt the
worse for them. They are pursuing pre-
cisely the course that will lead Cuba up
to annexation to the United States.
If, however, there is good grounding
for the alleged complaint of Gomez and
his officers that General Brooke has
placed their enemies in good official TO
sdtions and left the Cuban patriots to
subsist upon charity, or to go to work
on mental levels, then the matter must
be looked into with a view to reform
of methods. But it looks very much
now as if there is another and strong
side to that story, and that the Cuban
disturbers are such because they wish
to enrich themselves by seizures under
cover of war or of official fairness. Ger
tainly the situation is serious, if it is
true that General Gomez now refuses
to aid General Brooke in distributing
our 100000 gratuity.
It will not take much, let it be noted,
to create in this country a strong an
nexation demand. If the Cubans wish
independence, let them refrain, diligent-
ly refrain, from attempts to pick
quarrel with the United States. 1t is
susceptible of proof that during the
last 100 years there has been a steady.
strong and powerful growth in this
land of a sentiment that looks to the
West Indies lately owned by Spain as
necessary attachment by annexation to
the United States. The reported atti-
tude of the Cuban leaders will. there
fore, if maintained, stiffen the current
of the drift. to which we refer

A Valuable Discussion.
From the San Francisco Evening Pos
May 16th.)

(F'rom the San Francisco Evening Post,
May 16th)
c. P. Huntington appears to be able
to say things which attract attention.
This is true because Mr. Huntington
has had a broad practical experience in
life, covering the most interesting per-
iod of American history, and. III fact,
the history of the world. A merchant
for fifty-six years. an employer of men
for something more than sixty years,
thoroughly alive to the issues engender-
ed by national life in the progress of
events, controlling and directing vast
interests requiring instrument alities on
the broadcast scale of employment, Mr..
Huntington has come into close contact
with the forces which make and mar
the success of men. He is, therefore,
qualified to speak from the plane of a
broad personal experience with affairs
and methods
At a banquet rendered by himself to
the officials of the Southern Pacific
Company, Mr. Huntington delivered a
thoughtful address. rejecting a wide
range of observation AS in many for
mer instances, Mr. Huntington supplied
topics for editorial discussion sufficient
ito employ the talents of our contempo-
raries for month at least. That por-
ton of his address referring to the re-
lation of education to the practical af-
fairs of life has attracted most atten-
ton, and it Is noteworthy that the posi-
ton taken by Mr.. Huntington is either

thing for human right, placing prices

meets? Is this one of the evidences
of Filipino capacity for civilization and
self government of which the sickly
sentimentalists tell us?

What is there so unreasonable in the
demand of our representatives in Cuba
that the late Cuban soldiers shall sur
render their arms before receiving a
share of the gratuity of $3,000,000
which this Government has sent to the
island to be disbursed among the SOL
diers? Why should not the army give
UP it's arms if the island is to be Laci-
fed? AS matter of fact hundreds of
Cuban soldiers have taken to the hills
from which they descend as bandits to
rob unlucky travellers. while some bands
attack and loot villages and exact
heavy toll of plantation proprietors.
The United States Government does rot
propose that these men shall share in
our bounty. We 10 not intend TO at
tempt to pacify a country by leaving
a large organized body OF men with
arms in their hands to COW and extort.

Boston some years ago inaugurated a
campaign against the English sparrow.
1t kept it up with much persistence and
courage for a long time. 1t is now re-
ported that the sparrow has won the
day and Boston, abandoning the war,
retires defeated But because Boston
has succumbed other sections do not
despair. Ohio and Indiana still do bat
tie against the robber king of the lesser
feathered tribes. From those States
they are sending out notes of the sta
tistics of destruction wrought by this
rascally bird, rascally in the sense of
boldness and unmerciful assault upon
others of the feathery world. An Ohio
paper which has been dilligent in trac-
ing the damage occasioned by the spar
row, tells US that in the United States
it amounts to many millions of dol
lars annually. This We must think an
exaggeration. If estimate reaches two
or three millions it will probably be
excessive. In other States where they
| they also credit him with being not alto
gether a pest. That he is the enemy
of several of mans enemies is true, and
that he always wins against them is
be placed to his credit.
But in the home Of the sparrow, En-
gland, a war against him has broken
out and the saucy little fellow, if he
thinks, reflects sadly upon the ingrati-
tude of the country Of his nationality.
But even in England they admit that
while three-fourths Of his food is
CLEANED from cereals he also consumes
six per cent. of caterpillars, beetles and
other insect pests. Nevertheless they
have organized sparrow clubs through
out England, and farmers, florists and
horticulturists are paying in monthly
dues for a fund to be used in defraying
the cost of exterminating the bird. In
this year the clubs hope to destroy
go, 600 sparrows. Over here that would
be an insignificant figure The blotting
out of 100000 sparrows in a couple Of
counties of California would
leave no evidence of reduc-
ton of number that would be APP
preciable. They may tear down the
swallow nests, destroy the eggs, shoot
the birds, but still he will be with us.
determination of the sparrow, we must
think, is impossible. Thinning out his
ranks somewhat is feasible. But to be
so it must result in killing off more
than 100000 birds in single year.

 Vancouver IsiRnd.

News was brought up on the last steam CT that the steamer Danube, Captain MeY- CTS, of the Canadian Pacific Navigation Co.,, It., which left Victoria Wednesday, May r7, for Skagway, was passed ashore high and dry on the beach at Cape Smudge, on the north end of the Gulf of Georgia or Vancouver island. She made no signals of distress or asked for any as sistanee, so that the conclusions reached were that something had got out of order with her propeller or rudder and the boat was beaehed in order to make the repairs. She was laying at a point about thirty miles north of ComaX.
 Among those booked to sail by her were; MesSrs. Strickland and Mcintyre, H. A. Tremavne, wife and family, ]. Nelson and wife. Mrs. Norman, Mrs Crneher, Mr. and Mrs. E. ], Ward, and Messrs. Cope land. Raggstad. Monteith. Cole, E. Sar' reaut and A. P. Briggs.

In the afternoon Dr. NiSkem was compelled to attend to his patients and Mir. Mead took his place.

This is a very hand some showing considering the times. The committee started out to secure sI2oo, so as to insure SIoo a month for the secretary, and from results already obtained there is no doubt but what the balance will be raised in q very short time.
