expected. Eight attorneys have been
engaged in the case.

wEYLER,S METHOD SPREADING

1t is not at all surprising that the
proposed Weylering of the Dutch re-
publics in South Africa sends a thrill
of horror through the United States,
and draws forth prompt and sewers
condemnation. 1t is a monStrOuS
thought, and if worked out would be a
most satanic deed. We are glad to see
papers in the north, as well as in the
south, denouncing the intention to copy
the cruel Weyler's methods he applied
TO Cuba so vigorously. Northern pa
pers of both parties join in the chorus
of censure. If England attempts the
savage role proposed, and coupled with
Kitchener. it will leave stains, that a
thousand years could not wash out.
The thought of such a deed of dark
is quite enough to shock all the
civilization of the earth. The Detroit
(Mich.) Tribune says to its readers:
THE mere suggestion of such a
scheme to be undertaken by this civil
lized government marks the long stride
we have made in a certain direction not
to our credit. since the time, not long
ago, when our papers. our pulpits, and
wi OAINOA "SAS
of Bloody Weyler."
But these outgivings that the Wey-
Ter methods will not stop with the
Beers, but will be used by the United
States in its foreign wars. The Chicago
Record said recently, and it is IN indie
pendent newspaper:
"Weyler in Cuba decided that there
were no innocent in a land in inSurrec-
ton. He knew that every man, woman
and child was an ~inSurgent at heart,
who might be depended upon to give all
the aids and comforts possible TO any
force under arms whenever it could be
done. Therefore, instead of waiting for
evidences of action. he began his punt
tive and restrictive at once,
making them general and cruel as war
can be. Kitchener in South Africa is
beginning a course of action looking
towards a like ~result-almoSt the same
as the Recommendation Of Weyler. Mac
Arthur in the Philippines. learning that
there are no amigos" except when
Americans are present, is under fresh
orders "to begin in earnest" How far
will it carry him."

First Aid to the Injured.

The good name of the United States
in China has been well preserved when
compared with the looting and the aw-
full crimes committed by some of the
other foreign troops. The civilized
world has been greatly shocked at the
of a part of the soldiers sent
out as from Christian" nations. The
London News has recently contributed
a picture that serves to bring out still
more the fate of Pekin under foreign
control. 1t seems that the ancient city
is now divided into as many sections
or cities as there are environments of
foreign soldiers. We find the report of
the London papers correspondent at
Pekin thus summarized in the New
York Evening Post. which says:
In the Russian quarter there is soli-
tude, not one shop in a hundred is
OPEN; no young woman appears on the
street, for "a strong reason ana an OBJ
Vious one" In the German quarter
similar conditions prevail. but the ter
ror is less universal, and one may trade
if he first unbar the shopkeeper's door

lions. In the quarter occupied by the
