That Revolutions and Uprisings

Let us be entirely fair to our

Southern Honor Men.

Though a Michigan cadet leads
the graduating class at the Naval
Academy, five or the first ten grad
yates hail from the South. Two are
from Alabama. none from New York.
Massachusetts or Illinois, and only
one, a Kansas midshipman, repre-
sents the great West on the academy
honor roll.
Unlike the universities, the stu
dent population of Annapolis II pro-
portionately representative OF the
whole country, and that Southern
cadets should gain more than their
share OF the prizes Is of Considerable
interest.
Are Southern boys better students
or do they pursue oIder-fashioned
ideals? The theory that in the
North and West the best undergrad
uate talent al the universities In
destined for business or professional
careers does not hold i'm the case of
the Naval Academy. where all stu
dents are fitting themselves for the
life-work. And certainly the test OF
scholarship and discipline is as SCI
vere there as in any academic
course. The fact that the naval
tradition has always been strong In
the South may have something to do
with Il. though the assumption does
o explain why Aiabama's relative

the island was under Amer
lean control. With little concern
for the proper equipment OF the
.Cubans to carry on a government of
their own, and largely because OF
fear Of political complications in
this country. the island was then
turned over TO Tomas Estrada Palma
and his associates, duly elected by
the Cuban people under American
auspices. Don Tomas after four
years of faithful effort was unable
to control a disconnected element,
and in 1906 a second Intervention
came. The government vas re-
stored to Cuban control in January
1909. Tho present movement, its
cause ard its real supporters arc all
somewhat mysterious, and the ~
ported explanation of its purpose
does not satisfactorily explain.
Here is certainly no serious re-
cord Of frequent political upheavals.
The disorder Of 1906 appears 0 be
the only one definitely intended TO
remove a president. The present af-
fair ostensibly demands only the re-
peal OF a law that a few hundred
negroes regard as a limitation of
their political rights. The few dis
orders that arose prior o the revo-
luton of 1895 were distinctly local:
the war for independence, in that
year. was the first to cover the
island.
These are facts. Let US be fair
to our neighbors.-New York Sun.

tory of many of these countries is a
recod of frequent turbulence and
change in government through reyo-
luton. This is distinctly not the
case i'm Cuba. The nineteenth cen-
fury shows only w Cuban exper-
fences worthy to be called revolu-
1878 and the war Of "1S95-1S9S that
resulted in American Intervention
and the independence of the island.
There We're in that line a number Of
disturbances of small Importance,
local in character and barren Of re-
suits; none of them may properly
be called a revolution.
There was a little affair in 1923
and another in 1928. A suppressed
local conspiracy in 1913 was fol-
lowed by the Lopez filibustering ex-
petitions from this country in 1850
and 1851, and an unimportant and
generally forgotten affair in 1886.
This. we believe. is the entire list
tor the century. and all were pro-
tests against oppressive government
al systems and demands for a broad
er economic opportunity. The war
of 1895 was the first in which po-
litieal issues were dominan-. the
first in which the man purpose was
70 secure political independence. The
movement included a majority. but

A PLAN TO RAISE
WRECKED TITANIC
New York Engineer Estimates
'Twould Cost a Million-Salvage
Would be Twenty Million.

New York, June 1.-THE first SER
ious proposition to raise the Titanic
has come. 1t is calculated that.
counting the ship and contents.
$4,000, 600 went down when the
iceberg had done its deadly work.
If the ship could be raised, most of
this would be saved, for besides the
hull, the staterooms of the wealthy
passengers would give up rich treas
ures of jewels and much money.
A New York engineer calculates
that the work of raising could be
done for $1,000, 900; perhaps more
than that would be required. but
1900, 900 is an outside calculation,
which would leave more than $20.-
000, 900 as salvage for the passen-
gers and the ships company. This
sum is worth working for.
Where the Titanic went down the
water IS said to be two miles deep.
and that is a long way down to fish
for anything. But the promoters OF
the raising scheme con'end that be-
cause OF the increasing density Of
the water the vessel did not go TO
the bottom. but is suspended in the
water only as far down as her
weight conld overcome the resist
ance. If this should be rue il
would make the proposed raising an
easy matter. In the first place,
there would not be so much depth
to overcome, and in the second place,
the hull would not have to be pulled
out of a OBTAINING bed OF mud and
rock at the bottom of the sea.
The plan under consideration is
much the same as the one first pro-
posed for the Maine. Immense RATS
or barges are TO be floated around
the spot. and these are TO be fur
nished with quantities of he largest
and most highly magnetic graphing
hooks that are made. With these
hooks. fastened by cable chains to
the barges. it is proposed to literally
''fsh" for the sunken hull. Once
the magnetized hooks ge. a magnet
grip on the steel body. the barges
will move apart. drawing the cables
taut. and lifting the ship 10 the sur
face. where pumping engines will be
Immediately bail her out to floating
weight. And with that the job will
be done, and the miracle will be
wrought.
To the p~rosaic and academic mind
the plan sounds like a fairy tale in

Bright Sunshine Briis-s Joy and
Cladnpss After Exit of Cold
Weather of Yesterday

Cold and dreary weather followed
April to it's exit last night. The wea-
ther during the preceding forty-elght
hours had been akin to that of Janu-
airy, the wind holding tenaciously to
the southwest. The temperature was
raw and penetrating and overcoatS
were found to be comfortable. This
morning, however, MAY ~, broke a
gentle spring. The sun soon had his
mellow rays felt, and as he climbed
higher in the heavens the weather be-
came most delightful, causing
many who sought shelter yesterday
from the political cyclone to emerge
from their storm cellars.
May brings with her the beauty and
fragrance of hawthorn blossoms and
the song of the nightingale.
Poets delighted in describing her as
aebeautiful maiden, clothed in sum
shine, and scattering flowers on the
earth, while she danced to the music
of birds and brooks.

R. E. Lee Camp of Confederate
Veterans to Observe
The Occasion

In accordance with their custom for
many years, the members of r. E.
Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans
will prepare a program of exercises
for Friday the oath inst. which will be
the fifty-frst anniversary of the de-
parture of the Alexandria Companies
for the south.
Early that morning, while the bulk
of the inhabitants were sleeping, fed
eral troops quietly stole into the city.
The Alexandria soldiers, however,
were on the alert and managed to get
away before an overwhelming force
could reach the city. Some came via
Chain Bridge, others by way of Long
Bridge and many were transported by
steamboats,. By the time the Union
soldiers arrived the Alexandrians were
we'll on their way to Manassas Junct-
ion.
For years the parades of the survi-
vors of the companies which left here
on that memorable morning has been
pleasant feature of the Gath Of May
as holiday. They march through the
streets late in the afternoon and later
gather around the Confederate monu-
ment at the intersection of Prince and
Washington streets where an Grafton
is delivered. The spot upon which the
monument stands was the point where
the Alexandrians gathered and made
their hasty departure. An interest
ing and impressive program of cxer-
cises will be prepared for the occasion
and Mr.. Lewis H. Machcn, former SEN
ator from this district in the lcgislat'
ure, will deliver the address.
