No ONE at all acquainted with the
characteristics of the negroes aud scala
wags who constitute the alleged Cuban
army ever supposed that they or their
assembly, any more than General Go
mez, would do anything that might in
duce this government to Withdraw the
three million dollarsP president Mckinley
has sent to Cuba to be divided among
them. The fact therefore that the as
seEnbly referred to has agreed to dis
solve and to accept that mupifcent gift
is not surprising. But when that
money has been spent, neither will it be
surprising if another Cuban insurrec-
tion shall break out.

The GROUNDS upon which the PEG
pie Of the American colonies went TO
war with their mother country We're
by no means as good as those upon
which the Filipinos are now defending
themselves against invasion by a for
eign enemy, alien both in race and re-
ligion. But, according to the jingoe=,
the former were noble patriots
struggling for the ioalieuable and
inestimable boon OF freedom, while
the latter must be ''meshed' and
extern2inated if they don't relin-
ouish their native land to foreign rule
without further resistance. But im-

Weston B. Turner and his wife, a we'll
to do couple, each about sixty years
old, who made their home there. Tur-
ner evidently shot bis wife while she

turned q verdict that Mrs. Turner YVES
