has been removed from the neck OF Cuba,

On tho other hand, Richard Guenther,
United States consul-general to Frank

the German consul-general at barcelona.
Spain, to the effect that the condition Of
Spain is much Improved and that the
country has recovered from the crisis
brought on by the war with tho United
states in 1898 He says that the rec overy
has been much assisted by the Increased
demand for goods from Spain s lost col-
onies, as the war had lnterfered with re-
cent supplies, and that another stimulus
was given by the return OF many colonial
capitalists, who settled in Spain and IN
vested their money there, thereby giving
their impetus to trade. finance and inter-
nal enterprise.
According to this report, the foreign
trade pf Spain in 1908 amounted 10
1887 $4,000 The loss OF the colonies, 1t IS
declared, has induced the Spanish people
I. to give their attention to home Improve
nent and to Enterprise, and q new era
has set In. Spain has discovered that her
soil Is very productive, and that while
she has been importing coal, she has
extensive coal deposits of her own, which
are scarcely touched. The situation is SO
good as to Induce capitalists from other
countries to make investments, and alto
sether Spain seems to be In q more pros
porous condition than ever before in her
history. Her people seem to cherish n no
resentment against the United States.

The most wholesome and promising
evidence Of the sincerity. Of the southern

ton themselves II It were committed to
their charge, Is found in the prompt and
vigorous denunciation Of the horrible aft
fair at Statesboro by all the representa-
tive journals of the South, The Charles!
ton News and Courier declares that this
defiance of the law byfa brutal mob s'en-
dangers southern civilization" The At-
lanta 'Ga) Constitution points out that
the mob defeated the ends OF justice, and
the Richmond Times-Dlspatch says that
this terrible affairG"makes every chiynl-.
rons southern man hang his head with
shame" The Memphis Appeal says that
the burning Of the two negroes was an
atroclty that Is calculated to shake faith
In popular government" and that ''ciylli-
5bmgzation deserves something better. but
Its thin veneer was attacked and broken
and the prinlordial sayageryt OF the people
was exposed" The Savannah News pro-
;foundly regrets what 1t calls "a law

most noted papers Of the south unite IN
similar expressions OF shame and regret,
and we fail to find a single publlcat on

a halfway apology for the work OF he

of the Influential press of the South
