The Cuban assembly must very speed.

folly acquainted the military governor
with his views, so that the latter is
competent to act at moments notice
If the muster rolls of the Cuban army

TO a practical dec!ioation on the part OF
their officers, as represented by the
Cuban assembly. to accept the terns

to kuow why the assembly is inclined
to rely on some unknown syndicate, as
against the formal pledges of the Uolted

Kansas Boys at the Altar.

aud II Kansans wsre among the
wounded at Malabon. This makes %
dead and upwards Of so wounded 10
the Kansas regiment on Luzon, a
record that brings the issue close to

Are the islands worth it? Twenty
eight Kansas mothers, their gray heads
bowed 10 grief, are not alone IN
believing not. The relatives and
friends Of every Kansas boy pierced
by an insurgent bullet are not the only
ones Who believe not. Every man and
woman who reads daily the list of dead
cabled from Manila, list in which
Kansas contributes freely Of it's most
gallant flood, is set to thinking. They
see the reckless and appalling e1peadi-
ture of life and treasure in an attempt
to bestow liberty and enlightenment on
an inferior, alien race that neither
wants such blessings nor is capable Of
accepting them.
The Kansas boys whose lives have
been sacrificed enlisted in the volunteer
army to fight Spain. Instead, they
were sent to group of islands on the
other side Of the earth, there to battle
with wild negroes in the Jungle and
uoderbush. With every advantage Oh
the side of the savage. The people of
Lawrence, Kans., believe the life Of
Lieut.. Afford was worth more than ell
the unclothed barbarians IN the
Philippines; the people OF Coffeeville
lost more wheo Capt. Elliott fell than
they will ever receive by virtue Of
flirting with gilded destiny" Every
Kansas boy killed at Manila meaOs 50o
votes against imperialism and 500 votes
in favor of the rugged American
Democracy Of Jefferson and Jackson.
