the EVACUATION or CUBA.

The evacuation of Coba by the Span
iards and its occupation by Americans
was consummated on Sunday, New Years
day. The Spanish flag was not hauled
do sn because in pursuance of the same
petty policy which lost Cuba to Spain,
it was secretly removed They ran away
from fual humiliation. This action re-
suited in deserved contempt insteed of
sympathy.
At noon the government Of Cuba was
formally surrendered to the American
Commission by General Castellanos and
by them transferred to General Brooke
Tbs American flag now flies from Moro
Castle, the palace and other public
buildings. The city was orderly. Gen
eral Castellanos proceeded directly to
the wharf to embark for Spain. At the
conclusion OF the ceremony the Cuban
generals were introduced to General
Brooke, they assuring him that the
Cubans would do all in their power to
assist America in restoring prosperity
to Cube.
The United States has redeemed it's
pledge to Cuba. For it, it's freedom is
in sight and its misery and thralldom are
at tan end. Our glorious republic stands
ready to extend the Cubaus helping
hand in working out their redemption !.

PENSIONS FOR CoNPEDERATES


Milwaukee Sentinel: Senator Butler
has introduced discordant note in the
chorus of mutual good will between the
people of the north and south that has
been ore of the most benefcent results
of the recent war. His proposition to
pension ex-Confederate soldiers will jar
upon the cordial feeling that animates
the people of 10th sections. The presi-
dents visit to the south and his sympa-
thetic utterances have teen well re-
ceived in both the north and the south
1t was particularly gratifying to the
southern people that he should suggest
participation in the care of the graves
OF Confederate soldiers by Union soldiers
I'd their descendants. His words, which
evoked universal approval in the south
and have met with favor in the north
we're as follows;
EVERY soldiers grave made duripg
the unfortunate Civil war, is trib-
ute to the American valor. And while,
when those graves were made we differed
widely about the future of the govern
ment, those differences were long ago
settled by the arbitrament of arms, and
the time has now come in the evolution
OF sentiment and feeling under the pro-
violence of God, when in the spirit OF
fraternity we should share with you in
the care of the graves of the Confederate
soldiers"
The kindly suggestion from one who
fought in the Union army is significant
of genuine and hearty desire to oblit-
crate the auimosities of the past. The
president expresses the wish that the
brave dead among the Confederatee be
honored by all the people of the present
day. He respects their valor, though
he does not approve of the cause for
which they fought. 1t is very differ
emit matter to put ex-Confederstes on an
equal footing with Union soldiers in re-
spect to pensions. 1t is as insppropri-
ate rs it is unreasonable. The men who
sought to destroy the Union have no
claim on the gratitude of the country,
which is the reason for giving pensions,
and cannot possibly be granted govern
ment rewards for the part they took in
the secession. Senator Buffers propo-
sition is likely to tend toward destroy
ing all the good accomplished by the
president, inssmuch as it is bound to
stir up the smoldering animosities OF
the war of the rebellion.
