Nothing to Say.

President Dole's attention was called
yesterday to that part of President
McKinley's message which treats of
Hawaii and he was asked for his opin-
ion thereon. The President replied
that under the circumstances he pre-
ferred not to express an opinion.

Letting Eagan Down Easily.

Mr.. Mckinley does we'll in com.
mutlng the sentence OF Eagan.
True, Eagan has again and again
disgraced the army. True, Eagan
without the slightest Justification
unless a guilty conscience is a
justification, publicly and grossly
insulted his superior officer, the
Commanding General of the army.
True, he was fairly convicted of
this scandalous" conduct unbecom-
ing an officer and a gentleman"
But in a sense Eagan was being
made a scapegoat for Alger and
Corbin and their great and good
friend Mr.. Mckinley. His sin was
an over Jealous and tactless de-
tense OF them.
A truly good man will not
suffer another to be punished-too
severely-for his own shortcom-
ings. And William Mckinley is
a truly good man. Those heavenly
twins with the mirY skirts-Duty
and Destiny-have coungelled him
Alright.
Eagan is not to be punished for
blackguardism. He is to be re-
buked for over zeal.

McLaurin Disappointed.

Senator McLaurin, OF South
Carolina, is a much disappointed
man. He did not decide upon his
course in the Senate last Monday
until after securing promise from
Aldrich, Warren and one or two
other Administration men that the
McEnery resolution would be
voted on.
ooh. yes; sure, we'll pass that
resolution" said Aldrich.
"All right, then, 'said McLaurin,
"Pll vote for your treaty"
Now Mr.. McLaurin finds that
he has been sold a gold brick. He
also has made the discovery that
he is q pretty fair type OF the aver
age "come on"--in short, he has
been hoodwinked, bamboozled,
cheated. He now threatens to Join
Mason in the famous 6libustering
expedition which the Illinois Sem
ator proposes to inaugurate in
order to force a vote on the Nc
Emery proposition.

DepIOrable.
They depart smilinglY.

A half hundred of our soldiers
lie dead at Manila, and many more
are dYing--shot by those who only
a few snort months ago were hail
ing them as deliverers. A large,
doubtless a very large, number OF
Filipinos are dead-shot by those
who liberated them from the saw
age tyranny Of Spain.
Such is the result Of the deplor-
able events OF Saturday and Sum
day in the Philippines. Soon after
his benevolent assimilation"
proclamation to the Filipinos, Mr.
Mckinley established at Manila a
rigid new censorship. which has
kept the American people and the
Filipinos each in ignorance OF the
others plans and purp oses. This
censorship and the repeated posi-
tive assurances from Secretary
Alger and Adit. Gen. Corbin that
all was quiet and peaceful in the
Philippines had caused the Amer
ican people to discredit the vague
rumors Of an imminent outbreak
which came from Hong Kong by
way Of European capitals.
We are suddenly, without warn
ing face to face with the actualities
Of empire. Itis no longer possible

Beef PoIsoners,

The army beet scandal becomes
more horrible day by day. AT
last it has reached a climax. Cen
eral Miles declares that our soldiers
at the front were fed on beef
"Ioaded and saturated with chem
icals-various acids which made
them sick, filled the mems systems
with poison, uniting them for
fighting or campaign work" He
asserts that he now has reports to
this effect from thirty regimental
commanders, and that they are all
OF the same character-"."all show
ing that the beet had been em
balmed or was otherwise made
unfit for men or dogs" All this is
told in an interview in the Herald,
That neither the beef packers
nor the officials who had to pass
upon their product minded this
state OF things is evident from the
dispatch OF Armour's Washington
agent, Galbraith, to his principals,
as published in the fONyNaL: "Not
necessary be particular about
quality" 1t was not necessary to
be particular about anything but
the profits of tine men who were
coming soldiers lives into money.
For all this there has been no
talk thus far but Of Investigation.
The question has been whether the
Presidents commission could be
trusted to investigate thoroughly,
or whether Congress ought to take
hold Of the work itself.
But in the face OF all unimagin'
able infamies that are daily COM
ing to light, such discussions have
become trivial. Investigation, even
of the most relentless sort, would
utterly fail to meet the demands OF
the present situation.
II is not curiosity that must be
satisfied now. but justice.

Oommissioner Schurman's View.
President Schurman Of Cor
nell University is one Of the Com
missioners appointed by Mr.. Nc
Kinley to visit the Philippines and
report upon the condition OF affairs
there.
o. August 81 last President
Schurman sent this expression OF
his views to the New York WOrla:
This Republic, whose soul is self
government, does not want Asiatic
dependencies or the military despotism
thew would entail. The proximity of
Cuba made its mlsgovernment our affair.
But we are not called upon to rectify the
tvrannies of Africa or Asia. Nor are we
under any obligation to Aguinaldo and
the insurgents Let us keep to our own
hemisphere, seeking only naval stations
in the Old World.
This was true Americanism and
saying common sense then. 1t is
the same to-day, and will remain
such to the end Of the chapter.

to sugar it with bland phrases like
benevolent assimilation" To
rule we must conquer. To con-
ouer we must kill and must get
used to hearing OF the killing OF
our soldiers.
Fully as startling as the news
itself is the am azing coincidence
that this mournful battle occurred
Just at the exact moment when the
first news OF it would be still fresh
in the minds OF the Senators as
they cast their votes upon the
treaty.

Dol. Roosevelt on EmbaImed Beef.
In his story of the Rough
Riders part in the Cuban cam
paign, written for Scribner's
Monthly some time before the
issue as to "embalmed beef" was
raised by General Miles, Colonel
Roosevelt says:
If wa had been given canned
corned beef we would have been all
right, but instead of this there was issued
to the soldiers horrible stuff called
"canned fresh beef" There was no salt
in it. AT the best ii was strlngV anu
tasteless; at the worst it was nauseaung
Col. Roosevelt was no "kicker
or complainer during the crimi-
nally mismanaged campaign
against Santiago, He expected
hardships and privations and dam
ger, and met them in the true SOL
dierly spirit. But he drew the line
at "the horrible stuff called cameo
fresh beet, supplied by our Com
missary Department to the soldiers
Of a country which feeds the
world.
Nearly a hundred other officers
connected either with the Cuba or
Porto Rico expedition or with the
various camps have volunteered
similar testimony. And yet it is
said that the Presidents commits
sion is not only to whitewash the
incompetent and derelict officers,
but is to sweeten all this mass OF
"embalmed beef" II so, 1t has
taken a big contract.

there never was peace; and now the
question which addresses itself to every
American who loves his flag and loves
his great country and loves the great
principle upon which that flag rests and
that country is founded is this Are we
to take the place Of Spain as their task
masters and tyrants?
"And the Star Spangled Banner in

ever "hauls down that flag" will

The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-08-30

Ex-senator Peter E. Park is expected
home tomorrow after a two months
stay in Cuba in the interests of the
Cuban Land and Steamship Co. of New
York, and of a number of Detroit cap
italists, who may make investments in
the company and its lands.
The ex-senator has been making an
exhaustive investigation of the land
and general conditions toward the east
ern end of the island, on and back of
the northern coast, about sixty miles
westerly from the city and bay of Nue.
vitas, which lies in a northwesterly d.
rection and on the opposite side of the
island from Santiago.
Mr.. Parks connection with the COM
pany is due, first, to the connection of
Gen. Arthur L. Bresler of Detroit
and Venezuela, with the land and
steamship company as traffic mana
ger, and second to the fact that the
| ex-senator is both a practical farmer
and lawyer. The company acquired
vast tracts of land in Cuba without
knowing much about their usefulness
for agricultural purposes nor the con-
dition of titles, and needed to have both
thoroughly investigated Mr.. Park
has been attorney for some of the Bres-
lers for years, and the generals recon
mendation and the senator's apparent
fitness for the work caused the selec-
ton.
The Cuban Land and Steamship Co.
has SO far only progressed to the point
of acquiring land, but the scheme con-
templates the laying out Of a town
site, the development of large agri-
cultural territory and the operation OF
a. steamship line between United States
ports and the town to be established
The town is to be known as Ell Gloria
and will be situated on the coast. There
is large group of islands to the
northward at this point, and bay Of
considerable length Is inclosed between
the islands and main land.
The town lots and agricultural lands
are to be placed on the market and
their sale and development are ex-
pected to build up a business for the
steamship line.
1t is said that the brief informal re-
ports so far sent to Detroit are IA
vorable, and 1t is thought the full re-
port will show a satisfactory condition
of affairs, both as to the company, It's
lands and prospects. That, however
cannot be told with certainty until the
senator arrives and submits the result
of his Investigations in detail
1t is understood that ex-senator Park
has had the tender and will probably
accept the general attorneyshlp Of the
company. II he accepts the place he
will take UP his residence In Cuba.

been. 1t is healthful, cool and high. and
the finest plantation land to be found.
l tell you that there are not words in
the English language to adequately de-
scribe the beauties and utilities of the
eastern end of Cuba
THE distances are great there. The
country in the eastern section is poorly
settled, and is fairly painting for de-
Yelopment. To reach the site Of La
Gloria, one goes by steamer direct from
New York TO Neuvitas. Neuvitas is
town of some 5000 inhabitants. From
that place the site of La Gloria lies
some rs miles along the coast
Inc first day l arrived in Cuba, |
spent Is hours on horseback in getting
to the place and looking over the
ground little. My business was to
make maps of the place and the coast
line, and to make the transfers of the
property to the company. II the work
Of making the maps spent IA DAYS on
| horseback, and IL days in a sailboat
During the first few weeks that 1 was
there | lost about 20 pounds in weight.
/ However, once the bracing air got hold
of me I made it all up again. and when
landed in New York last Sunday, ]
weighed exactly what l did before /
left
Mr.. Parks delay in New York was
due to the fact that he made full re-
ports of his visit to Cuba to the direct
ors of the company, and had numer-
Gus conferences with he governing
board.
On September next Mr.. Park will
sail again from New York for Cuba,
to remain there for many months, and
possibly even to take up his perman-
ent residence there. Mr.. Parks de-
parture will be the signal for the ac-
tual commencement of operation Of
the first of the colonization schemes
which, it was predicted at the close of
the Spanish war, would in the course
of decade work a peaceful revolution
in the Pearl of the Antilles"
The Cuban Land & Steamship Co,
In which Mr.. Parks position is that of
general manager in Cuba, is the first
cooperation to take advantage of the
passage into the possession of the
United States of the island, for the
purpose of furnishing capital and ma
terial in developing the plantation
lands. Mr.. Park on his visit just com
pleted the legal transfer of some 40, 900
acres of land, stretching along IA miles
of seacoast, to the company which he
represents. On this land will the town
of La Gloria be founded, and. in the
future, be settled a goodly American
farming community, if the plans Of Mr..
Park and his associates pan out. OF
the town and colony Mr.. Peter Park, in
his capacity as manager, will be gover-
nor and chief man generally.
Mr.. Park has already made arrange
ments for the purchase of a steam
launch, which will be shipped to Cuba
on his return in September, and which
will be the nucleus Of the vessel prop
erty of the company. When Mr.. Park
returns he Will also take with him a
corps of surveyors, who will lay out
carefully the company's newly ac-
quired land. The next step in the
companys plans after the surveying is
the erection of hotel to serve as the
centre of the colony. This will be
built Of lumber shipped from Florida,

Motorman Overlook reversed, but not
in time to avoid hitting the youngster.
Wood was caught by the fender, and
was in this way saved from death.
When the car was brought to a stand
still it was found that Wood had only
received a small cut on the forehead
and a few bruises.
The spot where young Wood was
struck is dangerous one, as a large
