The Cuban teachers who have been in
Cambridge went away apparently satisfied
that the government intended to keep it's
pledge TO Cuba. In presenting a loving
cup to Harvard just before their departure
the Cuban spokesman said:
''We trust you will accept this token if
only as remem Drance that the Cubans
never believed, when the eagle of the
no. tn flew upon their island, 1t was in
the name OF aught else but the nam OF
right, OF justice, OF liberty"
If this speech faithfully represented the
belief of the Cubans it can be said OF
them that they had more faith in this
country than some Of our own citizens,
who have been predicting that our
promise5Ewould be broken, and arguing
that it ought to be broken.

PETER, the former Populist Senator
from Kansas, announces that he will
support Mckinley, and one Of the reasons
which he gives is that the Democratic
party is not fit to govern this country
under modern conditions of universal
freedom. That is a reason which is in
fiuencing great many people besides
PETER. AS made up today the Demo-
cratic party is not trustworthy. It's
leaders are erratic. They are men of wild
ideas; their doctrines and acts are not
consistent. Prating about freedom they
abridge the rights OF a whole race by
force and fraud. Demanding equality
and equal opportunity for all men, they
have no hesitation whatever in depriving
hundreds OF thousands Of men OF consti-
tutional rights by legislative enactment.

Ii Hung Changes appeal for an armis-
tice and the halting of the allies at Tung
Chow appears to have met with favora-
BILE response from our government, on
condition that the ambassadors think
that it is feasible to conduct them in
safety to the allied army. Japan has ap-
parently given the same response. AS
the chief object of the expedition Is to
save the ambassadors. any arrangement
that conduces to that end is to be accept.
ed. 1t is clear that there was danger that
the attempted entry OF the allied forces
into Pekin might cause an uprising Eon
the part Of thu populace which would
result in the murder of the ambassadors
and all other foreigners in the city before
they could be rescued. If this danger can
be avoided by perfectly feasible and safe
arrangement to deliver them to the allies
outside the city it would seem wise to
make lit. Nothing can be lost by it,
for if the armistice fails to result in a
settlement of the troubles, the allies will
then be free to advance into the city.

ADMIRAL SEYMOUR is SAVED
BY THE COMPOSITE BRIGADE
CHINESE MINISTER SAYS
FOREIGN ENJOYS ARE SAFE

Washington, June 2S.-The develop
ments Of yesterday respecting China
were important and interesting. The
Chinese minister's official report OF the
departure of the foreign ministers and
their guards from Pekin greatly reliey-
ed the officials here, who took it as the
first tangible evidence that the Inn
perial Chinese government had full
realization OF the enormity of permit
ting the ministers to come to personal
harm, and were thus undertaking. as
far as lay in their power, to observe
the amenities of international ex-
change.
The keenest interest is shown by the
officials to learn the conditions under
which the ministers left Pekin. Min
lister Wu's dispatch was omin0usly
silent on that point, and though the
minister himself maintains almost OBJ
stinately his confidence In the nom
existence Of a state of war, it is gen.
orally admitted that it will be difficult
to accent his conclusion if 1t shall
transpire that the Pekin government
itself has sent the ministers away with
their passports. At the state depart
ment It is said that II it shall be ex-
planned that the imperial government
did this, not with a purpose of rup-
turing diplomatic relations, but simply
to ensure the safety of the ministers,
which they were unable to guarantee
as long as they remained in Pekin
then there is still ground for an un-
derstanding.
1t is, however, pointed out that in
such case the self confessed inability
of the imperial government to main
tain peace and order at the capita
would amount to an admission of It's
utter failure as a government, anC
would leave China in a state worse
than that of actual war. In eithei
event, it now appears to the satisfac
ton Of the officials that there was alb
solute justification for such interven
tion as we have offered in China.
Nothing has been heard from Min
lister Conger. Notwithstanding that Ad
miral Kempff, in a dispatch to the nav.
department yesterday, reported hin
as being eight miles from Tien Tsin
1t was hoped that in view of his pres
ence so near the city some worl
would have been received from him be
fore this time, but this may be ex
planned by the interruption OF the tele
graphic communication and the della
in sending word from Tein Tsin {
Chefoo. The suggestion is made tha
as the conditions at Tien Tsin, wit
its million and more Of inhabitants
are in a very unsettled condition, tn
ministers had concluded they wer
safer outside the city than they woul
be within its boundaries, and for thi
reason are remaining in their presen
location, for the present at least. o
all sides, however, relief is felt tina
the ministers are safe. Minister w
expresses the belief that by this tim
they are safe in Tien Tsin. The mir
lister believes that if the foreign lega
tions had been desired to leave tn
capital it was an act of the Chimes
government taken with view to Ell
surfing their safety and getting thel
= where no harm could come to them.

patriotism almost Unprecedented ank
by a combination of moral influences
never before seen in this country, that,
by his conspicuous example as wine
drinker at public banquets. and as a
wine serving host In the White House,
he has done more to encourage the
liquor business, to demorallze the tenn
peHance habits of young men and to
bring Christian practices and require

president this republic has had. We

Officer Who Killed an

Havana, June 28.-A Cuban police
man who recently killed an American
named Welsh, and against whom the
evidence was apparently complete, in
the opinion of army officers and others
who saw the whole affair, has just
been acquitted by the judges in cir
cumstances so extraordinary that Gov

had been completely proved and he
demanded a sentence OF IA years.
Americans in Havana are very indig-

attempt to show the Cubans that It is
no crime to kill an American. They
refer to a case occurring some months
ago. when a Cuban editor killed Mr.
Smith, the American collector OF GUS
toms at Gibara. On the trial the fiscal
said he rose with regret to request the
punishment of Cuban for killing one
of the ''interveners." an act which IN
his opinion was scarcely crime.
