CUBA rs A REPUBLIC.
Work of TIE United states Has Been
Performed Honestly and Cyni-
cism Is SiIenCeI.

Since the United States intervened
on behalf Of Cuba in her armed ef-
fort to throw off Spanish tyranny
there has been a cynical contention
that the American people were moved
by Seltishness rather than humanity,
and that they intended to acquire the
island through annexation. While this
may be its ultimate destiny, the situa-
tion is now such that advances to that
end must come from Cuba, unless there
should arise an emergency in which it
must he determined whether the new
republic shall acknowledge the SOW
ereignty of this nation or some other
power. In that event il is reasonably
certain that the Monroe doctrine would
obtain and be enforced. 1t was doubt
less with view to making such a CON
tingency as remote as possible that
this governmentin inspired an important
portion of the Cuban constitution, and
by this plan gained concession of the
right to interfere under circumstances
which would undoubtedly have been
followed by interference even if the
Platt amendment had never been made

new republic says the Detroit Free
Press tdem.).

has silienced her adverse critics. Cuba

ATROCIOUS CRIMES.
Treacherous Filipinos Must Pay
Penalty for Murder.
American Army Officers Passed Iudg-
ment on Natives Gases and In
Only One Instance Did Gen.
ChaHee Commute the
Death Sentences.

Washington, May 29.-The Philip
pine mail yesterday brought to the
war department the records of a
number of interesting cOurt-martial
cases in the Philippines. Private
Charles L. Leonard, Company G.,
Sixth infantry. was assisting an en-
listed man of the hospital corps in
vaccinating the native inhabitants of
Bacong. Among the natives vaccinat-
ed was one named Almin, who at first
was reluctant to have the operation
performed, but who later submitted
to ii with seeming Willingness. He
then accompanied the two soldiers on
their rounds, apparently friendly and
much interested in their work. But,
on leaving the house of a person
whom he has just vaccinated, Private
Leonard was waylaid outside the
door by Almin, who plunged a dag
ger into his breast, infiicting n NOR
tai wound. Almin admitted the crime
and said that he had murdered Leon
ard because he had vaccinated him.
Gen. Chaffee approved the sentence
Of death imposed by the court-mar-
tial.
}asilio Leynes, a native, stabbed to
death another native named Dio-
campo while the latter was seated at
breakfast in the public market at
Bauan, Batangas. The only motive
for the crime appeared to be the fact
that Diocampo was in the employ of
the United States. Leynes was SEN
fenced to hang.
Nicolas Espada, native, surren-
dered and took the oath of allegiance
to the United States. He was given
his liberty. returned to the noun
tains and resumed his calling as an
insurrecto chief and later was cap
tured with arms in his hands and
directing his followers in firing upon
United States forces. 4 military
commission sentenced him to hang
and Gen. Chaffee while declaring that
the sentence was fully justified by
the laws of war, committed the sem
tence to ten years Imprisonment at
hard labor, on the recommendation

BRYAN STILL AT IT.
The Presiding Genius Of the Com.
moner FIouts American Fair
ness in the Philippines.

Extraordinary efforts are being
made to increase the circulation Of w.
j. Bryan's weekly paper, the Com
moner. This means that extra aOrdi-
nary efforts are to be made to mis-
lead the American people, to dcbase
American sentiment, and to destroy
American spirit, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean.
In the last number of the CommoneI
Mr.. Bryan presents Senator Carmack,
the slanderer Of American soldiers, as
a possible candidate for president.
Mr.. Carmack has rendered apology to
the American people for some of his
utterances as to our soldiers in the
Philippines, but Mr.. Bryan says: Sen
ator Carmack has earned his rapid pro-
motion by his extraordinary ability,
coupled with fearless, steadfast adher-
ence to the principles of his party.
He was a pioneer in the fight for the
restoration of bimetallism, and was
one of the first to raise his voice
against imperialism.
This probably explains Mr.. Car
mack's zeal in assailing the character
of American officers and soldiers. He
is in training for a presidential NOM
ination at the hands of the Bryan wing
of the democratic party, but even Mr..
Bryan must know that Mr.. Carmack

is a republic and, in the matter of local
government. at least. an independence.
In many particulars the wisdom of tenn
porary control by this government has
been vindicated. The disregard for law
that inevitably follows devastation
Of war was held in check. the practical
sanitary work was a marvel Of achieve
ment, the system of education was
moderniZed. schoolhouses were erect
ed where most needed and the judicial
system was purged of the evils that
substituted arbitrary control for jus
tice. 1t is true that all this was done
at the expense of the Cuhans and with
out the masses having a voice in the
matter, but they are to reap the ben
etits and are infinitely better prepared
for government than if this pro-
bationary direction Of the United
States had been withheld.
The reverse of the picture is not all
that could be desired. Some of the IL

tives of this government. have been

berry in the postal department is pub

gathered in by American capital

and by some method that may stand
revision the sugar trust has obtained
title to large tracts Of rich timber land.
After the timber is sold the dcTuded
soil will be as valuable for cane pro-
duction as any that can be found on the
island. Much of the fundamental law
has been framed by Gen. Wood. In
some instances he appears to have eN-
ercised too much paternalism, but in
the main his work has been adapted
TO the eXistin" situation and a way TO
undoing it can be found when the ne
cessity is encountered. Judging from
the character and history Of the So
called Latin races, the chief danger to
the permanent independence Of Cuba
lies in the Cuhans thems elves. If the

ANGRY NEGROES.
Colored Population of Rochester. N.
". Is Indignant Over II Legal DecI-

Rochester, ~ Y. May 29.-The coll
ored population of this city is greatly
aroused over case growing out of
the refusal of a boothlack to shine
the shoes of colored man. Under
chapter 1,042, laws of 1898, George w.
Burks, colored man, a few weeks
ago sued Paul Bosso, proprietor of Il
non-licensed shoe polishing stand in
the Powers building. for refusing to
polish his shoes, and secured YER
dict of $3.50. The defendant ap-
pealed and the case was reversed, on
the ground that shoe polishing
stand maintained on private property
is not a place of public accommoda-
tion.
Last evening the local branch of
the National Afro-tmerican Council
held an indignation meeting, and il
was decided that the case be ap-
pealed and that all colored men be
asked to subscribe to fund for this
purpose.

better the deed. NO seIf-respecting
watch will refuse an immediate re-
sponse to such treatment, which the

says the New York Post, it deprives

neither here nor there. 1t has just
been discovered that the internal ma
chinery Of man can in certain eases
be started up by dropping him out of
wagon upon the ground. This hap
pened in Michigan, at the little village
of NermontvilIe, whose very name, by
the way. guarantees the truth of the
narrative. Reuben Kirby, formerly a
pioneer and now an honored citizen
of Nermontville. was riding in the
woods on 4 wagon. when he was seized
with a severe attack Of heart failure
He became unconscious. and this saved
his life. for he fell to the ground. The
shock Of contact, so the local physi-
clan held. started the vital plant Of
Kirby in motion again, and he came out
of the attack not much the worse for
wear.
