The cables printed to-day from Havara and Madrid are of interest in connection with the fact that General Woodford ts now receiving instructions as to his mis- sion, and expects shortly to sail for his post of duty. There has been some specu- lation in both Havana and Madrid as to the probable nature of those instructions, ¢ Spanish sentiment at both capitals has influenced by the report that the new er’s first advance will be toward putting an end to hestilities in Cuba. What ts printed to-day, therefore, as com- ing frem General Weyler and Senor Cano- vas may in a sense be accepted as their reply to what it is beheved General Wood- ford will have to say on the subject of peace for Cuba. neral Weyler’s reply, delivered in the form of a proclamation at Santiago de Cu- ‘ternoon, may, in a perfectly rendering, be stated thus: “Peace? certainly. 1 am for peace. I have . from the first day of taking command re. Peace is my only object. But of course I must be permitted to prescribe it. I know the sort of peace best suited to hese people, and I am prepared to adminis- to them. I have pacified -everal provinces, and I am here now to pacify this province.

But peace must be i srougit about, if it requires the extermina- tion of the whole Cuban population and the aying of the whole island waste.” Thus, Weyler. Senor Canovas treats the subject in much the same way. He also is for peace. And, as an earnest of how much he desires peace and how far he is willing to go to obtain peace, he takes the public into his confi- dence about his future plans. Making al- owance for the work of disease among the Spanish troops during the rainy season in jand now in progress, Senor Canovas ares that Spain, if necessary, will put twenty thousand fresh troops into the field there in the fall to help along the cause of peace. He is evidently in full agreement with General Weyler, and wants peace es- ta‘lished at any price of Cuban blood or ban treasure. ‘The administration would do well to take of these things. General talk, through ral Woodford, about peace for Cuba if indulged in, undoubtedly elicit re- these. Spain at present has no ption of peace for Cuba except upon ain’s terms.

The police are doing good work in their ntrast strong shington court. The efforts to and discourage the the bicy users as by the frequent reports of con- the courts. But there is rap- developing ancther bicycle nui to h attention has previously been di- and which fs yet easy of regulation. This nuisance is the presence In the streets, at al! hours, but especially at night, of scores of riders who have noc yet learned to control th ‘The bicycling term who persist in u the practice ground is “wob- re in some cases more dan- gerous to life and limb than the fast rid- corchers and they are more easily chended. It is a misdemeanor in fa for a person <o attempt to uve a treacher- ous and delicate machine like a bicycle in a crowded thoroughfare before it has deen completely mastered. The Star has already called attention to the matter and has suggested as a remedy the adoption of the Berlin method of regulating the wheel users. No one is perimitied to ride a bi- ¢ in that city without a large tag dis- ed conspicuously on the machine. To cbtain this tag It fs necessary to pass an examination conducted by the police, the object of which is to ascertain the skill of the rijer. The cardidate is made to ride n obstacles, to dismount under diffi- to slacken syeeed suddenly, and to do other things that indicate the degree of proficiency that he or she has acquired. The Commissioners can readily ascertain the exact workings of this system, or if they prefer they can devise a method of thelr own; but whatever course they de- cide to adopt they should secon begin a campaign against the “wobtlers,” with their unaccountable antics, their unex- pected larches and their dangerously er- ratic methods of management. It Is, of course, impossible to put good sense into heads that have never been graced by na- ture with that valuable commodity, and this renders it out of the question to seek to reform all the riders, for it is probable that as lorg as man exists he will display & certain amount of folly in public, at the expetrse of his fellow creatures. So it is to be expected that while the wheeling fever lasts the streets will be filled with dangers mor» or less grave, and the public question is whether or not steps can be taken to reduce the evil to a minimum. Other cities are thus afflicted. is passing through the agonies of wheel dodging and the American of that city ts now moved to note the increase in the number of reckless wheeimen and in the resultant accidents in the streets. It edi- torially protests agzinst the knocking down cf feeble women and young children, the frightening of horses by scorchers and other allied nuisances and dangers. The wheel is not given over entirely to these careless, indifferent riders. Those who ride with caution ard regard for the rights of others are prebably in the majority and they are made to suffer in common with the pedestrians and drivers by reason of the usurpation of the streets by the scorch- ers 2nd the wobblers. The Commissioners will sct Baltimore a Sood exampie and gladden the hearts of thousands of Washingtonians—both on and off wheels—by writing some new and rigid Tules in the police regulations aimed at all classes of reckless and incompetent wheel users. te —_++e___—_. The Battie im Ohio. The Ohio campaign is taking a shape which promises an exceedingly lively time there in the fall. Some faint mention is made of local issues, but only a very faint menticn. The campaign is essentially na- tioral in its nature, and the result will have a national bearing. On the one side ere seund money and the national admin- istraticn, and on the other the Chicago platform and Mr. Bryan as the demo- cratic candidate for President again in 1900. The republicans are in the field with two candidates, who ought to command the ‘ul! party vote in the state. Each is well quali- fled for the place he seeks, for each is row satisfactorily filling that place. Gov. Bushnell is serving well as governor, and is asking for a second term, while Mr. Hanna, who has taken good rank in the Senate as an appointee, is asking a reg- ular election to the office. But above and beyond the personalities of these two men and their candidacies is to be considered the national administration itself, fer which, in a certain sense, both will stand in the fight. Republican defeat in Ohio this year would inevitably fall heavily cn the President and his policies. The demecracy will make the fight under the leadership of Mr. John R. McLean, who is on the ground, with his hopes high and his machine in good working order. Mr. McLean is a man of experience and of re- sources, and whatever diligence and abund- ant means shrewdly employed can accom- plish ought to be accomplished by him. But he has a very hard row to hoe—much harder, indeed, there is reason to believe, than he calculated for when he left this town. His own means are large, but the other democratic leaders of large means in the state are opposed to his senatorial aspi- rations, and are threatening, while support- ing their party’s candidate for governor, to oppose free silver candidates for the legis- lature. If, therefore, there should not be a clear majority of silver men in the legisla- Baltimore ture, Mr. McLean's election to the Senate would be impossible. This anti Lean contingent is led by Mr. Brice, Tom L. Johnson, ex-Goy. Bookwaiter, Virgil P. Khne, Mr. Thomas of Springtield and other rich men. They are all for sound money. Ex-Congressman Sorg, who is quoted as a friend of silver, is yet put down in the anti-McLean column on the score of personal aspirations. It is believed that he wants to come to the Senate himself. So, first and last, with as formidable a fighter as Mr. Hanna in his front, and the sound morey democrats hanging on his flanks and harassing him also in the rear, Mr. McLean will have need of all the generalship and sinews of war he possesses or can com- mand. ——___ + ee —__ The Worm Has Turned in Cuba. Reports are now being received from Cu- ba of alleged atrocities committed by the insurgents. The other day a dispatch an- nounced that a large number of Spanish soldiers had been captured and immediate- ly hanged by their enemies. A later cable- gram details how a stage coach w up by insurgents, who killed all the o pants save a woman and a child, a slaugh- ter of about’ thirty persons. These dis- patches undoubt passed through the hands of the press censor at Havana. who is known for his rigorous work in coloring reports as to the progress of the war and its incidents in a manner highiy favorable to the Weyleriun cause. Thus it is to be presumed that the real facts are far more creditable to the Insurgents than the news held accounts as published indicate. It is worth while to hear these matters in mind for it has been announced that the in- surgents have recently decided to adopt a policy of retaliat‘on upon the Spaniards for the atrocities committed by the latter, some under the gulse of military necessities and others without the least excuse or explana- tion. It is evident that the Cuban worm has turned at last, and no wonder. The in- surgents have been thoroughly trained in the arts of cruelty and nation. They have had example after example of broken faith, violated promises, murdered inno- cents, raided hospitals, outraged non-com- batants, ruined homes and so on through the whole catalogue of crime. They have borne all this with wonderful patience and many instances have been noted of their magnanimity in dealing with captured ene mics. Their treatment of women and chii- dren been marked with consideration and gentleness, as witnessed by the dis- patch about the stage coach, even after it has passed the censor. It is of course most deplorable that the insurgents should resort to ever so slight an approximation of the Weylerian methods. ‘They are atro- cious in the extreme and to tmitate them even feebly will but add to the horrors of a war already dreadful beyond comparison. But it Is to be remembered that the prime responsibility Hes at the doors of Spain, and her chief agent, who set the bar- barous ¢xample. The Cubans are merely showing that cruelty is a game at which two can very conveniently play. ——_+- +2 —____ Scientists express the opinion that skele- tons recently exhumed at Thermopylae were those of Leonidas’ Spartans.

It is an open question whether this 1s not a matter for general congratulation. Cer tainly as contrasted with a day spent in the hot town, with the odor of burned powder in the air, a day of ridit:g over good roads, perhaps in gocd company, with the resultant appetite and the benefits derived from judicious exercise, is to be greatly Ereferred. This tendency to cmigrate from the city on such a day probably results, teo, in a general diminution of the amount ef noise produced upon that occasion. There is too general a misinterpretation of the true meaning of Independence Day. Patri-. otism 1. often given the guise of violence ond it has become a matter for comment of late years that the original association between fireworks and the Fourth has been diminished because of the indiscriminate vse o* explosives at all times and on all occasions. There és developing, too, an American tendency toward making holidays upon slight pretexts. The wheel may be responsible in turn for thiz. It has given to a large class of people the means of going quickly and inexpensively to quiet places where the tired mind may rest from the cares of business. It has furnished a means of escape from the routine of every day existence. It is producing depressing ef- fects. however, upon several lines of trade, other than the manufacture of fireworks. From Paris comes the plaint that the lbraries are suffering frcm this cause, the people wheeling at times when formerly they read books. The livery stable has become a losing venture since the bicycle came into common use and the receipts of Street cars have shown a marked differ- ence. It is to be hoped that the physician's business—which can not fall too low to suit the public desires—has suffered as well, | though there still remain differing opinions 'on that score. The majority of medical men, however, speaking frankly, recom- mend the wheel for general exercise, while deploring its immoderate use. The two great difficulties which legisla- tion has to confront are the facts that no man possesses so much wealth that he does not desire more, nor pays so little taxes that he does not wish them less. —¥_>+e___ The length of time it takes the jury in the tobacco trust case to make up its mind may lead science to investigate to deter- mine whether tobacco is a moral narcotic as well as a physical poison. ——~+e_____ Any air motor would have difficulty in running fast enough to make up for the delays in properly equipping the Eckington read already experienced. ————2++e—___ One very pleasant characteristic of inter- collegiate boat- racing is the absence of claims of foul and of hysterical rushes to challenge the winner. ——++e—___ Only one hundred and ninety-five men worked today on the post office building. 3 SHOOTING STARS.

New York Correspondence Philadelphia Press, When Mr. Bryan was in this city two weeks ago other things than the demorall- zation of the Tammany organization ap- peared to perplex him. For instauce, on the morning of his arrival, after he had breakfasted, he disappeared, nor did any of his friends know that he had gone away to have a two hours’ conference with one who had been one of his warmest sup- porters ani an enthusiastic advocate of the financial plank in the Chicago platform, J. Brisben Walker. As the day was fine Mr. Walker took the late presidential candidate to a grove near Mr. Walker's residence upon the Hudson, and there for two hours Mr. Walker labor- ed with Mr. Bryan that he might persuade him to subordinate the free silver plan to another financial doctrine, which, if ac- cepted by the government, Mr. Walker believes, will solve the currency problem and put an end to financial distress. That is the postal savings bank and in- convertible bond plan. Mr. Bryan was very much impressed with Mr. Walker's argument, although not con- vinced by him, and he promised to give the proposition ample study, intimating that if upon examination he became satistied that the plan was feasible and in its adoption the people would he would that free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 and independent of the action of any othér na- tion must be the chief issue upon which the democratic party will go into the cam~ of 1900. _BON MARCHE. — “No exaggerations 2s to qalittes or values are Permitted in this advertisement.” —<$<__ Tomorrow ends the contest for the “Columbia” Bicycle.
