THE EVENING STAR has regular and permanent Family Circulation mach more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Media: it has no competitor. id delays, om ac- bnence, letters to mot be addressed to any individual connected with the office, THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ———S order to Weyler on the Morgan Resolution. The people of the United States have re- garded General Weyler so long in the light exclusively of a butcher, they will be sur- prised to learn that he ts also a statesman. But he is, if the New York Journal of to- day quotes him accurately. That news- paper prints a cable from its special cor- respondent in Cuba giving an interview with the Spanish commander on the situa- tion as affected by the passage of the Morgan resolution through the Senate and the probable effect on public sentiment here and elsewhere. General Weyler speaks with some heat. He could not !ay aside his sword upon the sudden and become alto- gether calm. A little strong language would remain. He was not surprised at the Senate’s action, nor will he be if the House ratifies it. But, as a student of our institutions, he questions the constitutionality of the proceeding. He doubts if the Supreme Court would sustain it. But, passsing from that, he expresses himself as glad that the action has been taken. Personally he will be glad if recognition follows, and for the following reasons: (@) It will “unmask” this government, of whose “hypocrisy” he has long been con- Vinced. It seems that Weyler has never been taken in by the professions of friend- ship for Spain over here. He has noted that the execution of the neutrality laws was a mere blind. It has really facilitated filibustering. And this has been true, “de- spite President McKinley's fair promises.” () It will fully reveal the absurdity of the sympathy felt by the people of the United States for the insurgents, whom he characterizes as “dynamiters, railroad wreckers, horse and cattle thieves, planta- tion burners and highwaymen.” This is severe. Has General Weyler burat no plantations himself? And how does he ex- plain the fact that a “few scattering bands” ot such people can keep two hun- dred thousand Spanish soldiers under his own leadership at bay? @) It will enable Spain to go into the market and borrow liberally. Think of it! Spam is a beggar in the market today un- able to secure money wherewith to carry on war against a “few scattering bands of highwaymen,” but if the United States will accord these highwaymen belligerent rights, Spain's credit will at once leap to par! That is truly Weylerian. (4) It will work an abrogation of the spe- cial treaty rights of Americans in Cuba, and they will have to take pot luck with the others. He will then have a free hand. He will not further be troubled “by the constant complaints and often ridiculous demands from American consuls.” All of this is truly refreshing. If it serves no other purpose it at least “unmasks” General Weyler, and shows how he feels toward a government whose one discredit it is to have been in league by treaty with country whose bloody creature he is. —___ +e -- Highway Robbery Increasing. Tl Washington correspondence of the Baltimore Sun this morning contained the following significant paragraph, the truth of which can not be denied: ‘Hold-ups and highway robberies are of ent occurrence in Washington, prob- ably on account of the absence of one-third of the police force on details and sick leave. Another bold robbery took place last night.” ‘These few words should commend them- selves to the immediate attention of Con- gress. The members of that body are resi- dents of Washington during at least half of each year. Theyare subjected during that time to exactly ‘the same conditions that surround the more permanent citizens. They are equally exposed to the assaults of thugs and thieves—perhaps more £9, being normally men of prosperous appear- ance and presumably attractive to the avaricious eyes of the highway robber. Putting the case, therefore, simply on a personal basis, it would seem to be an emergency that demands some corrective legislation. Congress is not usuaily averse to adjusting affairs that bear personally upon its members, and perhaps now that the absolute need of larger provisions for the local police force has been given an un- avoidable demonstration, it is in order to suggest that it would be perfectly proper for the houses to indulge in a bit of self- generosity in this line. In addition to this phase of the affair there are, of course, certain abstract considerations of fairness and equity in treating with the District. Of all cities in the country this should pessess a police force so ample, as well as so efficient, that the streets will be at all times perfectly safe for ell classes of citi- zens. —_+ = —____ Some Idle Talk. ‘There has been considerable talk afloat about projects to buy Cuba from Spain by the negotiation of bonds issued by the Cuban provisional government and guaran- teed by the United States. The amount needed is variously estimated at from $1,- ou,000 to $20,000,000, ‘This talk for at least three auificient reasons seems to be idle. First: Spain declares she will ever, sell a foot of her territory. ond: Cuba says she will never, never buy her Hberty. Third: ‘The United States will quite cer- tainly never, never guarantee the money for the purchase of Cuba whether the amount is $1,000,000 or $200,000,000, ——____ wee -—___ It is difficult for the Sultan to accommo- date himself to modern ideas sufficiently to realize that it is not considered the correct thing to jump on an enemy when he is down. never, —— 2 —__ The Ruiz Investigation. Now that the invesitgation of the Ruiz case has begun, and much Interest attaches to the outcome, it is well to cunsider again the disadvantages under which Mr. Cal- oun as the special commissioner will la- ber. Spain's full power will be felt through- out the whole of the proceedings. A Span- ish jailer and Spanish methods are on trial, and they will be vigilantly defended by Spanish court officials. One important witr ess, it is stated, has disappeared. Other itnesces are prisoners, whose own cases tences, as a rule, are either death, or life banishment to @ penal colony in Africa. May -men so unhappily circumstanced be expected to testify with full freedom? May men he expected to make certain of their “own condemnation by revealing all they know about the horrors of the prison in which they are still confined? The Ruiz ease will soon be over with, and Mr. Cal- thoun wil! soon return to the United States. ‘Then their cases will come on, and who fs to stand between them and the ordi- nary drumhead proceeding in Cuba, called Spenish justice? When the case was fresh, and before it had become international, Gen. Lee ob- THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, MAY 24, 1897-14 PAGES. tained reliable advices about {t, and de- clared that Dr. Ruiz was murdered. He is still of that opinion. The same opinion ob- tains in other trustworthy quarters. Only ten days ago The Star quoted Mr. Thomas G. Alvord, the well-known newspaper writer of this city, to the same effect. Mr. Alvord had spent four months in Cuba, and became satisfied, among other things, that Dr. Ruiz was murdered by his jailer. Besides, what difference is there between the conduct of that jailer and the general conduct of Spanish officials in Cuba at that time? The fact that a man was help- less did not protect him. It tended rather to invite attack. Slaughter was the Wey- Jerian order of the day. And what did American citizenship amount to at that time? The American citizen in Cuba was @ man without a country. He was ignored here in Washington, and when General Lee sought to have his claim to protection al- lowed, that officious man was thought to have lost his head. Mr. Olney grew indig- nant, and wanted to call “that sentimental Virginian” home. It is plain, therefore, that Mr. Calhoun in the Rutz case has a different job on hand. The court is against him, and the witnesses have swords suspended ever their heads. But, for all that, the investi- gation will bear good fruit. —— > +o —____ c More Facts as to Cuba. Additional information as to the exact state of affairs in Cuba has been received by The Star through its special corre- spondent at Havana, whose latest latter is printed today. While devoid of any sen- sational efforts to exaggerate the situa- tion It shows that the conditions now pass- ing in review before the American special commissioner are grave indeed. Mr. Pep- per gives a graphic description of some sides of life in Havana and the neighboring country and indicates the difficulties that surround the task of ascertaining the exact truth. It appears, however, that the pres- tige of the commissioner as the direct rep- resentative of the President is enabling him to overcome the various obstacles, cf- ficial and otherwise, taat have been thrown in his way. Mr. Pepper also demonstrates that notwithstanding the alleged “pacifica- tion’ of the province it is regarded as un- safe for travelers to go inland more than thirteen miles from Morro Castie in any irection. ————++e—___.
