A statement which comes from Ha-
vana concerning the close of the United
States regime there will cause wide

to the effect that $1,000 silver service

The disposition of the majority in
Congress to coddle the friends Of la

of campaign funds shall take no offense
thereat, has been strongly in evidence
during the current off-year session. But
the device of passing bills in the house,
to be done to death by the Senate after
election, has become altogether stale
and malodorous. A very little perform

Republican editors who seek TO tusti-
fy the cruel practices in the Philippines
would do well to read the messages of
President Mckinley during. and imme-
diately prior to, the Spanish American
war period.
These messages are full of denuncia-
tons of the practices in Cuba, which
practices were not so brutal MS recent
revelations would Indicate the prac-
tees in the Philippines to be.
In the message of Dec. /, 1897, Mr..
Mckinley referred to the concentration
system, then established in Cuba by
Spain and now maintained by the Uni
ted States In the Philippines, as. a
cruel policy" He said that this was
not Civilized warfare" 1t was "exter-
mination;" and he referred to this poll
cy as IAN abuse of the rights of war;"
And in his message of April II, 1898,
Mr.. Mckinley reiterated the statements
of his 1897 message, and, referring to
this concentration system, declared:
"The only peace it could beget was that
of the Wilderness and the grave"
In his message of Dec. 9, 1897, Mr..
Mckinley denounced Spain's policy in
Cuba as a system of warfare that tend
ed "to drive the Cubans to the horrible
alternative of taking to the thicket or
Buccumblng to misery" He referred,
in that same message, to "the policy of
cruel rapine and determination that so
long shocked the universal sentiment of
humanity" lie referred also to the
Spanish commander "whose brutal or
ders inflamed the American mind and
shocked the civilized world" He de-
nounced "the horrible order of concen-
tration."
In his message of April II. 1898, Mr..
Mckinley referred to Spain's policy in
Cuba as 1.-THE horrors of strife of n new
and inhuman phase. happily unprece

policy wherein ..the farms were laid

STREET. SCENE IN HAVANA.

Spanish rule In Italy and the Dutch
countries We're repeated in Cuba with
increased zest and enlarged systems of
oppression and cruelty. The aborigines
being practically eXterminated, the
same cruel treatment was visited on
the Spanish colonists themselves and
upon the negroes who had been import.
ed as slaves. In the course of 200 years
the population was again reduced until
only about 10000 persons remained.
Practically prisoners of war, the
Cubans had little knowledge of the
outside world, except that gained from
the pirates who continually plundered
Cuba and the neighboring islands, max
ing that region the headquarters of n
vast fleet of buccaneers that ravaged
Cuban waters for two centuries. The
pirates burned the towns and made des-
olate the coasts, but Spain would
neither protect her colony nor allow the
people to arm themselves in self-de-
Tense
The Turning Point.
The capture of Havana by the Eng
lish and their eleven months rule was
undoubtedly an important point in the
life of Cuba. During the short period
of English government the Cuban ports
were opened to foreign trade, and for
the first time the people realized the
extent of their resources. and the mer-
CHESS manner in which they had been
robbed of their earnings.
But the era of prosperity was short
as the English soon turned the island
over to Spain and tie old system Of
persecution was resumed. However,
the Cubans had breathed the air of
comparative freedom, and they saw the
possibilities of the island under hon.
est government. lnstillcd with n new
born ambition for freedom, the Cubaus
carried on secret arrangements for n
general uprising, and the fifty years
following the few months of English
occupancy witnessed succession of
revolutions. Thes came the Ten Years
War, from 1868 TO 1878, followed by
another uprising in 1885, and then the
final struggle beginning Feb a, 1895
which resulted in the overthrow of
Spanish rule in America by the United
States and Cuban forces.
Cuba may drink of the cup of free
dom now, but how dearly 1t was pur.
chased. The first era of Spanish reign
with its system of slavery, cost Cuba
$4,000 lives and hundreds of millions
of treasure collected in gold dust. In
the. Ten Years War, 10000 Cuban lives
were sacrificed and more than a billion
dollars spent, besides the confiscation
