age soldiery of Spain.
When at the close OF the last century
the reconcentrado lifted to heaven the
arms wlthered by famine and implored
the great nation that had won peace to
save him and his from destruction and
despair, there was an answer at last in
the boom of cannon. Brave ships cross
ed the water. The strong had taken un-
der the shelter of his might the weak
and downtrodden. The Cuban flag was
gwen the right to ny over free Cuban
people. Out of conditions little better
than anarchy came the stable form of
order, and they who had struggled for
many a decade found their efforts
crowned with the freedom of their de-
sire. Then the benefactor withdrew.
leaving to an emancipared people the
problem Of their own destiny. That the
new republic should not have remained
quiet is not surprising.
Many Americans know little of the
Cuba of fifty years ago. To them the
Gem Of the Antilles has been but spot
In the map, made vivid for the first
time when the United States, Mortified
at continued cruelty, drove forth the
tyrant. The cruelty was nothing new
in Cuban history; 1t had made Cuban
history. Before the climax that lower
ed the Spanish pride and the Spanish
banner in the West, for decades the
prayer for recognition as belligerents
went unheeded.

In just Revolt.


Cuba in revolt displayed concep-
tion of Justice that would have been an
honor to any people. An early move
was the freeing of the slaves held under
Spanish rule directly in violation Of
treaty. SPANS pretense of emancipa-
tion had been nothing more. By royal
decree the slave was freed when he had
reached his Goth year, or JUST wnen
he would have been helpless to care for
himself. At one time out of 100000 ne
groes in Cuba 36S,0O0 were slaves, many
of these being natives of Africa. When
the revolutionlsts freed them a large
number became soldiers, and some won
their way to important command.
In 1926, but for the veto Of the Unit.
ed States, Bolivar, valiant and futile,
might have won the cause Of CUBA. But
the cause was not killed. The South
American possessions of the Spanish
were permitted to break their allie
glance, but Cuba. suffering, oppressed,
crying out with great voice and with
Its blood sealing the sincerity of Its as
pirations, was permitted to langulsh In
thrall.
In 1S4S the struggle for independence
took definite form again. At that time
Cuba was recognized as a republic by
Peru, and there was promise of COOP
GRAFTON from neighboring governments,
but that Of the United States could not
be won, and the promise was not full
filed. Yet with failure, and In the
face Of opposition from those who might
have been neutral, and Of Indifference
from those whose impulses should have
been friendly, the faith Of the Cubans
never faltered.
While Thousands Perished.
When $4,000 Cuban lives had been
sacrificed to the fury Of a falling des-
potism nearly 100000 Spanish had per-
ished on the same altar. At one time
the Cubans overran the Island from the
eastern extremity to Colon on the west.
The enemy was shut in Its strongholds,
but the enemy held the sea. The Cuban
armies were made Of tried fighters.
The Spanish were raw levies, constant
ly renewed. Production Of sugar began
to lessen, and agriculture generally was
Oh the wane. Spanish reforms took the
shape of more obnoxious taxes, until
the Cuban paid $S4 yearly, while the
s. anish in their own land paid 81.
In 1871 the Cubans had issued an
appeal to civilization, showing the con-
ditions that had grown from the declar-
alton Of independence at Manzanillo
in 1868. 1t was an appeal to touch the
heart Of humanity, and perhaps 1t did,
but to no practical effect The Manza-
milo declaration but embodied the SEN
timent sought to be put into practice by
Lopez in 1S4S. In that year Lopez
had landed with a small expedition and

HOME AND BUSINESS LOST.

The earthquake wiped out their only
means of support and what was to them
a small fortune, business which they had
built up by industry and saving. Mr.. and
Mrs. Ginsburg, according to the state
ment which the woman made to Star
tention this morning, went to San Fran
cisco about five years ago and set up
small shoe repairing shop. They built up
a good business and branched into the sec
ond- hand shoe business and later into a
small first-class shoe trade. The husband
and wife could repair shoes, and both
worked at that trade. At the end they
employed two helpers In the business.

The Argentine Republic has recently lost
its greatest statesman, its first citizen, its
most useful and influential son. Bartolome
Mitre was esteemed there by his fellow
countrymen as George Washington was es-
teemed In the United States after the close
of the war of independence. He was not
only a great man, but good man, an I'M
selfish, far-sighted patriot. He would
have been great in any nation. Few men
have made more distinct impress upon
the history and the institutions OF their
country We In the northern continent
know very little of events that are oc-
curing among our nearest neighbors The
American newspapers have no correspond

omniscient In other parts of the world,

other bad news to send. We never hear OF
