The same strange moral phenomena
appeared after the Civil war One of
those who gave themselves to the work
Of elevating the negro. often said
that the phenomena appeared %
defy analysis. For, the Constitution
had protected slavery, and under the
slave codes of the Southern States, the
old, the infirm, the disabled. and the
children We're cared for by the slave
owners, and as a rule, they were well
cared for, and the cost OF this care
made slavery an expensive affair.
Then the sword freed the slave. and
absolved the ruined master from all
legal obligation to maintain the dis
abled. The nation that freed the slaves,
then turned them, landless, ignorant,
penniless and disorganized out into the
woods to shift for themselves. The
story of the sufferings of the aged, the
sick and the helpless children has never
been adequately told. The Freedmans
Bank. organized under the authority OF
tho Federal government, gathered in
about s3,000,0O0 OF the money of the
emancipated slaves, and then went into
bankruptcy.
At the same time, the American peO-
pie were generous and sympathetic,
Four years of war hCd however dead
ened the feelings of the people. The
law of the survival of the iittest worked
with terrible energy. No doubt, large
numbers OF negroes suffered and
died through want, caused by the act
Of Emancipation.
But the story OF human suffering was
An old one, and the quick sympathy
died out.

THE CUBAN ORPHANS.

Il is estimated that there are now
over $4,000 orphan children in Cuba
who are destitute, and suffering. Path.
etic. stories are told of boys and girls
not over eight years of age, wander
ing about in search of food for younger
brothers and sisters. One correspon-
dent of an eastern journal says that he
raw a small boy. a mere child, trying
70 cook some food in an old tin can
which he had set up over a couple or
stones in a small forest grove. He
was bright eyed, ragged and dirty.
Two small. hsggard looking COM
panions sat by him hungry, patiently
waiting for him to make the water
boil. This correspondent says that II
q picture of the scene were boldly put
on canvass, and II was exhibited
through the United States. it would
secure large contributions to the Gu
ban Orphan Fund. The sight of suffer-
ing and misery stimulates sympathy.
Several OF the leading American
journals comment on the small contri-
buttons made for the relief OF the SUI
fering children OF Cuba. Not a voice
has been raised in opposition to the
scheme for aid. Miss Clara Barton
and the newspaper correspondents urge
In the strongest language the relief OF
these suffering little waits, but only
the sum OF $l6,064 has been furnished
up to the 1st Of August, and only a few
people, hardly a hundred, have contri-
buted this amount.
The American people cannot be
accused Of lacking generosity.
They responded richly to the claims
from Johnstown. when only a few hun
dred suffered from the flood. They
more than compensated the sufferers
from the earthquake IN Charleston by
sending them about 81 900, 900, and over
one million of dollars was given to
the starving peasants OF Russia.
But public sympathy is a quick
sympathy. 1t gives instantly or not at
all. The moralists say that this is not
the highest order of charity, because
Il d not the act of well regulated minds
with steady habits of giving.
The nation gave three hundred mil
lions OF dollars, for the sake of
humanity" by driving out the Span
tards from Cuba. No citizen paid
directly into the fund one dollar. But
after the nation has done its work,
the duty Of the i"dividual citizen
is apparent. 1t begins with the after
math of war and pestiltnce. But We
have the curious phenomena in the
case of Cuba. that generous people
permit these orphan children, together
with the sick ard decrepit to suffer
when almost within sight of the rich
est nation on earth"

Long will recommend to congress a
programme for new naval construction
which will be in accordance with the
policy that has been pursued for the
past three years. He will ask for three
armored cruisers of about $4,000 tons

of the Olympia type. The gunboats
will be about the size of the little

WILL RETURN MONEY.
Admiral Dewey Offers to Reimburse
Those who Wish 1t.

New York, Nov. 27.-A special to
the World from Washington says: Any
subscriber to the Dewey home fund who
wishes to, may have his or her money
back. John r. Mclean, speaking for
his sister, Mrs. Dewey, said:
Mrs. Dewey and the admiral have
beens overwhelmed with, not hundreds,
but thousands, of kilograms of sympa-
thy for the affliction which has befallen
them in this furious and thoughtless
attack made upon their domestic life.
Admiral Dewey's statement has had
great effect to accomplish this revul-
sion of sentiment.
"Among the kilograms received was
one from Emerson Mcmillan, of New
York, to the effect that if any person
desired the return of his subscription
to the home fund, the admiral would
forward the list of contributors to him,
together with any letters or dispatches
requesting refunding OF the money, he,
Mr.. Mcmillan, would Immediately
reimburse all applicants in full.
81 am authorized to say most posi-
lively that all such requests will re-
ceive the promptest attention. All that
is necessary for these people to do is to
forward their requests to the admiral
himself and not to rush to the news
paper offices with them. All that come
in proper style will receive attention.
81 also desire to say that nothing
that has happened to us Throughout our
lives has been such source of grief as
this public Juror. Mrs. Dewey has al
ways been the favorite in our family
and has been almost idolized. We feel
her grief very keenly and propose to
defend her. At present she is in no
condition to say anything for publica-
ton.
This trouble has also seriously
afflicted our aged mother, who looked
forward to the coming of Admiral
Dewey with such pleasure and admira-
ton, and who was so happy in her
daughters marriage. We had never
anticipated the outburst, and acted
in absolute good faith, as we supposed,
with everybody"

CABLE TO THE PHILIPPINES.

Mt Once.
New York, Nov. PA special to
the Herald from Washington SAYS:
Presider. Mckinley fas received q
synopsis of Secretary Roots annual
report, which he is now considering in
connection with his message to congress.
Dealing as it does with all the events
of the last year in connection with the
Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico,
and in the discussion and recommended
tions for the futui government of these
new possessions it will form the basis
for the most important chapter of the
presidents message. These are some
of the most essential features of the
secretary's observation and recon-
mendations:
The immediate appointment of civil
governors for Cuba and Puerto Rico.
The substitution of civil government
either by commission or civil governor
for the Philippines following the sup
preston of the present insurrection.
A complete system OF suffrage in the
Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico with
educational and property qualifications
required for all voters.
The immediate construction of a
cable between the United States and
the Philippines.
No general reorganization of the
army will be recommended by the Sec
Rotary at the present time. He will
leave this subject open for further
consideration until after the war in the
Philippines has been brought to close.
1t will be pointed out, however, that
the retention of the bulk OF the present
army will be necessary for some months
to come.

natural causes. The cabin was log

the finders could ascertain, the dead
mans food had apparently been chiefly
potatoes. Nothing in the line of food

HEAVY FIGHTING REPORTED.
Methuen's Force Meets the
Beers at Belmont.
BRITISH WE'RE VICTORIOUS
Drove the Dutch From Their Position,
but Lost Heavily in the Operation
Situation I'm Natal Obscure.

London, Nov. 25.-Before anxiety as
TO the situation in Natal had been re-
1ieved there comes news of great bat
tie at Belmont. This has happened
sooner than was expected. Only the
official account is yet to hand, but so
far as can be gathered the fighting ap.
pears to have been almost a repetition
OF the battle of Glands Laagto. A dis
patch OF the previous day estimated
that the Beers in that vicinity num-
bered 1000, and that. they had five
guns, and, judging from the absence of
any statement to the contrary in the
Off report, it is believed that Brit
ish were slightly superior in number to
the enemy.
The Beers had Chosen position with
their customary Skill and were strong
ly entrenched. The British were
obliged to carry three ridges in success
sion. Apparently the guards bore the
brunt in carrying the last ridge by q
bayonet charge after its defenders had
been shaken with shrapnel. Nothing
is said as to whether the positions so
gained were held and the destruction
OF ammunition seems to indicate that
the contrary was the case.
While General Methuen can be con-
graduated upon brilliant victory, it
is again at the cost of heavy loss of
officers and men.
