OUR CUBAN RECORD.
Something That Certain Dend )
Propose to Make . Party
Issue OF.

The new leaders of the democratic
minority in the senate are preparing
to assail American administration in
Cuba. This is recent news from Wash
ington, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
When the United States government
interviewed in Cuba the island had been
devastated by war. One-third of the
population had been destroyed in bat
tie or massacre, or through starvation,
exposure and the ravages of disease.
Trade and commerce were at stand
still. Towns and cities in the interior
were in ruins, and the plantations
were as a desert.
The United States began at once the
work of reorganization and kept the
peace between Spaniards and Cubans.
After it took the reins of administra-
ton, on January 1, 1899, it sent the
Spanish soldiers home to Spain and
kept the peace between the Cuban fac
tions. Under American administra-
tion cities were cleaned, plantations
restored, roads built, schools estab-
iished and the Cubans compelled to be
tranquil.
Revolts were prevented by tactful
management, the turbulent Cuban
army was disbanded in the face Of
opposition on the part of the revo-
lutionary leaders, all departments of
government were recognized and
Cubans were put in office.
Outlawry, which had prospered un-
der Spanish rule, was abolished, cor
ruption and intrigue were eliminated
from the governmental system, courts
were reorganized in the interest Of
justice. the prison system was re-
formed, schools were established in
every part of the island and sanitary
measures were enforced.
In three years Cuba, for the first
time in its history, had stable gov
eminent, clean administration, with
safety from contagion in the cities and
safety from outlaws in the country.
For the first time, Cubans were pro-
tected in their rights, were encour-
aged to the free exercise of the fran
chise, and, for the first time, the Gu
ban, whether merchant or planter, or
mechanic or field laborer, was sure Of
his profits, or his earnings.
Frauds were unearthed, and those
who practiced them, whether Ameri-
can or Cuban, were punished. The
hostile factions in Cuban politics were
carried through the period of consti-
tution-making. through legislative and
presidential elections, and on May 20
the island was turned over to the adj
ministration of the Cubans with ali
departments of government organized
and with $500, 900 in the treasury. The
American officials and the American
army sailed away. The American flag
came down and the Cuban flag
went up.
That is a record whose only blemish
is too great generosity on the part of
the United States. There is record
which no other powerful nation ever
equaled in dealing with helpless.
weak and demoralized people. And
yet there are democrats in the senate
who propose to make party issue

uninteresting Sunday afternoon, wher
London presents deserted appear
ance. Very late Saturday night dis
patch was received from Lord Kitch-
ener, in which he said the Boer dele
gates were coming to Pretoria, that
they had accepted Great Britain's
terms and that they were prepared
to sign terms of surrender. Mr..
Brodrick, the war secretary, person
ally communicated this message to
King Edward, who was at Bucking-
ham palace. But the government de-
clined to take any chances, and moth
ing concerning the receipt of this
message was allowed to leak out. At
about one o'clock Sunday afternoon
the war Office received the following
dispatch from Lord Kitchener:
"A document containing terms Of sur
render was signed here this evening at
1890 o'clock by all the Boer representa-
tives. as well as by Lord Miner (the
British high commissioner In South AZ
rica) and myself"
The clerk on duty at the war Office
transmitted this message to Bucking.

lunching. At about five o'clock word
was received permitting the publ
cation of the message, and the small
notice which was stuck up outside
the war Office consisted of copy Of

Lord Kitchener Cables Announcement That
the Ions War In South Africa Is at an
End---kin8 Edward Issues Con-
gratulatory Message.

Lord Kitchener's cablegram. A sim
liar notice was put outside of the
colonial Office. Beyond these two
skinny bits of paper London mew
nothing of the great event. In the
clubs, the hotels and the newspaper
Offices, which were almost deserted,
the momentous news was licked out
on the tape.
At the Mansion House.
Then like wildfire, at about six
o'clock, London awakened to the fact
that the South African war was over.
The inhabitants of the East End
fiocked to the mansion house, the
mecca of the boisterously patriotic,
just in time to see the lord mayor OF
London, Sir Joseph c. Dimsdale, come
to a balcony and announce that terms
of surrender Ind been signed in
South Africa. Amid many cheers the
lord mayor made n short speech, in
which he expressed his hope that
London would show it's appreciation
of the good news by behaving itself
decently and in an orderly manner.
"Let u.s." said the lord mayor, in con-
clusion, now pray for a long and
happy peace" At this statement the
assembled crowd yelled Justify, and,
at the instance of the lord mayor,
gave hearty cheers for King Edward,
followed by others for the men who
had died in South Africa since the
war commenced.
Great Rejoicing.
BY eight o'clock the news had be-
come generally known. A few belated
extra editions of newspapers were
peddled about the streets, but before

Charleston, S. c., June 2.-Charlcs-

was the climax of the South Carolina
Interstate and West Indian exposi.
ton, which was wrapped at night in
blaze of light and glory. The
speeches delivered at the auditorium
in the afternoon offered resume Of
the enterprise, showing that the ex-
position was a success except in
financial returns to the stockholders.
The advertising, however, was est
mated to be alone worth to Charles

port facilities have been made known

tions. The war has come to an end
with Lord Kitchener's announcement
from Pretoria that he, Lord Miner and
the Boer delegates had signed terms
of surrender" This announcement had
been anticipated for several days, and
II was definitely forecasted in these
dispatches;( but it's receipt Sunday af-
ternoon took the nation by surprise,
as everybody had confidently believed
that the house of commons would hear
the first news to-day.
The Kings Message.
The edge of the anticipation with
which Great Britain awaited the
promised statement in the house Of
commons from Mr.. Balfour, the gov
eminent leader, was still further
dulled by the following message from
King Edward to his people, which
was issued after midnight:
THE king has received the welcome
news Of the cessation OF hostilities In
South Africa with Infinite satisfaction,
and his majesty trusts that peace may
speedily be followed by the restoration
OF prosperity in his new dominlons, and
that the feelings necessarily engendered
by war will give place to earnest CO.

South African subjects in promoting the
welfare Of their common country"
How greatly King Edwards insist

cured prior to his coronation influ-
enced the present agreement will prob
ably not be known until the private
memoirs of the present regime are
given to the public.
Kruger Hears the News.

Express from Utrecht, Holland, Mr..
Kruger was informed shortly after
nine o'clock last night that peace had
been declared. He had been asleep,

Now Should Brave TiIlman and His

TruncheOns.

Now, indeed, may we expect howl
of anguish and Indignation to go up
from the imperialists, says the Albany
Journal. An emperor has offered to
present to the United States. a statue
of an emperor. to be set up in public
place in Washington, and President
Roosevelt has actually had the temer-
ity to submit the offer to the congress,
and to intimate, in his letter to the
emperor making it, that its acceptance
would be agreeable to him.
Help! Police! and also Hey RUDE!
The empire is about to come upon
us!
It is proposed to place an inbronza-
ton of Imperialism in the national cap
ital!
Ye orators against the imperialistic
tendency, If ever We had within you hot
air to give expression and force to pro-
testation, denunciation and vitupera-
ton, prepare to belch it forth now!
Our liberties are in danger!
The shadow of the mailed hand how
ers over the land!
The principles for which our fore
fathers fought are about to be crushed
to earth under bronzen image.

trusty pitchfork and your forked
tongue, give the German emperor and

Beers are promised autonomy within

Boer prisoners In st. Helena, Ceylon,
