Valparaiso7s Awful PLIGHT.

VaiparaIso'S Awful Flight.
Under command Of government
troops, the earthquake and fire deyas-
tated city Of Valparaiso, Chile, began
the tremendous task of caring for the
thousands Of homeless and destitute
residents, burying the dead and re-
storing order. Looting was checked
by rigorous measures, more than $50
robbers being summarily shot. The
government promptly appropriated
100000 pesos with which to begin
relief and reconstruction works. The
number of dead is not yet officially
reported, but is likely to exceed 1000.
Estimates of the property loss vary
from $1OO,O00,O00 to $15O,O0OOOO. For
a week after the first great shock
there were numerous seismic disturb
ances, as was the case after the San
Francisco earthquake. The worst dam
age was done in the thickly populated
section of the city, which rests on
made ground. Offers Of relief contri-
buttons had been received from all
parts of the world Already 10000
refugees have arrived at Santiago
The streets are still in darkness and
nearly impossible owing to the debris
of fallen buildings. Several smaller
towns in that section suffered heavily
Suffering of the homeless thousands
was intensified by the wintry rains
which prevailed.

CUBA.

The breaking out of an instruction in
Cuba will naturally provoke an II toll you So
from many an American whose faith in the
capacity for selfgovernmelt of the island s
5ncngrel population has been small But let
us not be hasty in attributing to the insurrec-
ton Importance which it may not possess
says the Pioneer Press. Thus far it has not
the dimensions of revoluntary movement, nor
is there yet any warrant for interference by our
government-still less for talk about annex
alton as the only method for insuring perman-
ent order on the island. The Palma govern
1nent has endured for six years, and this is the
first uprising" of any moment it has been call
ed upon to face. The government of the United
States had not existed for four years after the
reorganization of it's independence before an
Instruction quite as serious, known as "Shay's
Rebellion" broke out in Massachusetts,.
Probably the roots of the Cuban instruction
are two. First, all the money foolishly borrow
ed by the Palma government and divided
among the soldiers of the so-caled 'patriot
arn1y'-whCh the American army of liberation
was unable to find, but which swarmed into the
cities when the island was free and there was
a run1or of spoils to be divided-to the amount
of some $33 100000, has been spent or gambled
away. Second, the coIored leaders of that
"armv" have not received the recognition to
Which they have thought themselves entitled
in the distribution of civil offices and such APP
pointments they have received lack, under
the present government, the fat pckngs at
tached thereto under the old Spanish rule
Furthermore, enterprising Americans, Can
adams, Germans and other foreigners-to say
nothing 6 the many really capable Spanish
business men and planters remaining in the

lin possessing themselves of commercial
and manufacturing opportunities, and the
shftless characters constituting the old army
have found their proper level of commercial in
feriority Their old dreams of careering on
horseback over the country they assume to
have freed clad in gold lace and "bossing' their
former masters, do not materialize. Another
"war"-this time to overthrow "the despot Pal
ma might give them another chance at the
treasury, more money to gamble away, better
lapportionmeilt Of offices.
But if we mistake not, the elements of stabil-
ty in the government have been steadily grow
ing, especially since the warning was sounded
from Washington that the process of running
in debt must be stopped and conservatism in
TX oenditures became necessary. The influence
of solid business interests the government
is becoming greater. It is quite true that the
spirit of the American politicians inquiry,
"What is the constitution between friends?"
seems to govern great many OF the actions OF
both president and congress in Cuba. But it
takes time for Spanish Americans in office to
comprehend the necessity and acquire the habit
of constant, literal obedience to law, or to real
The independent government of Cuba, if
it be worth saving should take stronger and
deeper root when tried by the gales of insur
rection. If it proves unable to stand alone
then it will he time for the Washington gov
eminent to intervene in the interest of order
It is folly how ever. to suppose that this
country will tolerate a revival in Cuba Of the
Central American habit of changing admins
trations by force. The Palma government
probably includes as capable a set of men as
can be gotten together in Cuba for the conduct
of the affairs of the island There would GER
tainly be nothing gained by the substitution
therefor of the motley group which is seeking
its overthrow But if it cannot stand alone
and American intervention becomes necessary,
such intervention should take such form as to
insure the permanent rule of civil law.
If we intervene it will not be intervention
for annexation. The American people do not
want Cuba. They do not like the prospect of
another set of problems such annexation by
force would involve. They prefer for seni-
mental reasons and for practical reasons as we'll,
to see Cuba go it alone. They will not, how
ever, tolerate perpetual anarchy. They would
not tolerate it when Spain was responsible and
they will not tolerate it while Cuba is 'respon-
sible They little afford to have San Dc
mingo or Venezula turbulent Such disturb
ances are constant menace to their interests.
Still less they afford to have Cuba turbul-
ent, situated as it is geographically. But they
will give the Cubans plenty of chances. Uncle
Sans patience will not be exhausted by one or
two Instructions. Only after the third orI
fourth, when turbulence appears to become
chrome, when there is no other resource except
to take matters in hand himself, will the United
States proceed to annex. We are not looking
for pretext to intervene; still less to annex.
But Cuba must "be good"
