Spain's obstinacy and tncompetency In the Cuban matter seem almost incredible, but they are a matter of history. The case has bee! veral times summed up, but it will bear summing up again now that the end is close at hand. Her first move was an intelligent one, but she defeated it herself almost as soon as it was clearly developed. She sent General Campos to the scene of the trouble. The selection was an admirable one. He was her best sol lier, and possessed many quali- ties of a statesman. Besides, he knew Cuba thoroughly. He studied the situation care- fully and made report. He recommended conciliation rather than severity. He saw the true meaning and extent of the revolt, of those engaged in it and their developing power, and that peace was not procurable upon any other terms but justice. His recommendations were flouted and he was recalled. sr succeeded General Cam- The plain butcher, who would not oc- cupy himself with side issues like con- science or justice, was commissioned. Spain decided that force, and force alone, was the proper means to be émployed against the rebels, must either be put down or xterminated. The new commander was an ideal selection for the work designed. He entered upon his task with zest. But vile and brutal as he was, he did not put down the rebellion. The innocent and unresist- ing blood he shed fructified the result, and it grew rather than diminished. He became such an offense to humanity that in the name of humanity his recall was made im- perative. ‘Then Spain, in a shuffling mood, tried to combine butchery and conciliation. She sent General Blanco to the scene with in- structions to continue all hardships on the people as far as might be safe, and at the same time to bribe if possible by money and promises of reforms the insurgents in the field. Thi h: iled absolutel: and, as it was Spain's last card, she now sits at the table bankrupt, surly and wholly unreasonable. No nation has ever shown itself to be more incapable or unworthy as a colonizer than Spain. No colony has ever shown it- self to be more worthy of independence than Cuba. The case therefore, as the American people see a clear one, and demands the immediate retirement of Spain from that island. —_+ += ____ The Nation's Poise. al We pol ore significant of the inuation of th: ould be.

There is little force in the contention that # declaration of war by this country against Spain woul virtually amount to a declaration of war against the insurgent Cubans inasmuch as the Cubans are sub- Jects of Spain and are therefore to be in- din any such declaration. The insur- s In the field are not only in revolt the sovereignty of Spain, but have up an independent government of their Whether this country should proceed intervene in Cuba before or after a independence of . those people who are now in d preserve their present rela- tions to Spam, being thus alien to her sov- ereignty. The act of recognition or the failure of such n act could not in the least change the status that the insurgents have themselves created and maintained. Al! this talk about the insurgents fighting the United States in case of war {s foolish and unworthy. The present stipulations of the United States are that Cuba shall be freed from Spanish dominion and that Peace must be restored to the island at the earliest possible moment. When those con- ditions have been met, when the Spanish fag has been removed from Cuba and the people of the isiand are relieved from the burvlen of a cruel war, then matters will eojust themselves. Naturaily, in any cho.ce between possible agencies of self- «ernment for Cuba, those men will be peecerred who have created the conditions leading to liberty and have borne the brunt of the fight. Independence for Cuba means, however, peace for all the people of Cuba. It does net mean that those who have not fought in the ranks of the insurgents or rendered signal aid of some kind to the insurgent cause shall no longer reside in the island. The lowering of the Spanish flag will not be the signal for the inauguration of a system of persecution and confiscation. The republic In Cuba will have the same mean- ing that the republic has in the United States. It will mean “opportunity”—oppor- tunity for all who will obey the laws and contribute to the general welfare. ‘To give any other meaning than this to the cause which is now on the eve of suc- cess would be not only to belittle it but rob it of widespread and powerful sympathy and assistance. The tag which both Gen. Weyler and Senor de Lome have sought to fasten upon the movement is that it repre- sents nothing but selfish greed and paid rascality. Gen. Gomez, they assert, is merely a soldier of fortune, without con- science or character, who, as the patd agent of a close corporation of weaithy schemers in Cuba and the United States, has organ- ized and is directing a small army of ban- dits and adventurers like himself. Their enly object, the Spaniards allege, is plun- cer and domination. Let success crown their efforts, and a moneyed despotism will rise on the ruins of Spanish rule. The people of the United States have re- jected this appraisement of the Cuban cause. They believe in the patriotism and intelligence of the insurgent leaders. They believe that Gen. Gomez and his compatri- ots are fighting for liberty, and that when the battle is won they will address them- selves earnestly and unselfishly toward the establishment of good government for the whole island. Of bad government, pro- scriptive government, corrupt government, government for the few as against the many, Cuba has had full enough. When Spain goes, that will go, and it is incon- ceivable that anything even remotely re- sembling or suggesting it can rise under Cuban auspices in its place. As The Star said several days ago, the problem will present many difficulties and will call for some sacrifices. But the Cubans have already done so much toward gaining their independence, when it comes through the aid of the United States they will surely rise to the occasion and make the most of it. —— eo The Red Cross in Cuba. One of the most terrific indictments ever rendered against any Christian nation is that contained in a telegram sent to Miss Clara Barton, head of the Society of the Red Cross, who is or recently was in Cuba in the hope of doing something to alleviate the sufferings of the starving. Miss Bar- ton was advised by General Lee to leave Cuba and, hoping that perhaps she might be of service especially if war were to break out, she asked her brother's advice by wire. From Mr. Barton, in this country, came the following telegraphic reply: He is in the best Take Lee's advice. position to know. Ordinarily Red Cross should be a safe refuge, but take no chances.” There are comparatively few places in the world where the Red Cross of humanity and benficence would not be regarded by all parties to a belligerent controversy even more strictly than the white flag of truce. Perhaps in Africa, where the natives have not yet learned the refinements of warfare and regard all persons not of their own tanks as enemies to be slain without scruple; perhaps in some parts of Asia, where the battles of man against man are conducted on worse than medieval meth- ods; in some of the wilder regions nt where the aboriginal peo- ples are unused to any influences save those of savagery, the Red Cross would be un- recognized as the symbol of succor and relief, and its bearers would be slain or wounded or captured. But Cuba belongs to a nation that, In theory at least, is con- sidered as civilized. Its people have had every chance to know of the work of Flor- ence Nightingale, who did so much to rob war of its horrors, even while man was steadily laboring to devise still more dread- ful agencies of warfare. The Spanish sol- diers are not savages, in their usual envi- ronment. They have acted like savages in Cuba, to be sure, and their leaders have at times given ord2rs more cruel and more diabolical in their ultimate effects than the commands of the most fiendish leader of naked natives of the wildest por- tions of the earth. And yet, so near to this enlightened land, near enough indeed to feel some of the thrilling influence of free institutions and the elevating influence of education were it not for the repressing power of Spain, it is now written that the symbol of humanity can not be relied upon for the safety of the men. and women who would gladly go forward to care for the sick and wounded, to feed the starving and succor the helpless. If the occasion should arise the United States will be compelled to teach the Spanish nature the lesson that there are two flags that must be respected, even at the cost of the national integrity. These are the Stars and Stripes and th2 Red Cross. In the Cuban campaign they will float side by side, for they mean the same thing. —>+e—___ Stand Together. Public opinion has crystallis2d. The war in Cuba must cease. The Spanish flag must depart from the island. Satisfaction must be given for the treach- erous murder of American sailors. The administration has moved step by step with public opirion in reaching thes conclusions. The next step will be action, will be war with a foreign nation, and when that step is taken public opinion should waive its rights and place the reins once for all in the hands of regular l2aders. This will not be a republican war; it will not be a democratic war; it will be an American war, for the preservation of na- tional honor and the defence from murder of American sailors and Cuban women and childr2n, In such a war there should be but one voice, the leader’s voice, one arm, the authorized arm. The American people should and will lay aside dissensions, and lJoyally, earnestly and honestly uphold and support their chi2f.

It is probable that as soon international crisis has been as action by Congress is as the go far either by a declaration of war cr by some other final legislative enactment, more syste- matic attention will be paid to the calen- dars than has been possible during the re- cent weeks of unsettlement and expecta- tion. In that event it is to be believed that the Senate will at an carly,day take up the highway act amendment and give it the attention which its importance deserves. Meanwhile, the House District committee is inquiring into the same subject, so it is fairly to be anticipated that by the time the Senate has acted on the measure the House will be in possession of the neces- sary data for intelligent action. The local interest in the bill is great, and there is much eagerness for its early enactment. —____+ += —____ There is satisfaction in noting that the Personal utterances of Consul General Lee have never shared the uncertainty of the reports of his whereabouts. —_—____+ + = —_____ China is an example of what may happen to a country which devotes itself exclusive- ly to the attainment of p2ace and riches: —__oeo—__—_ There are occasicns when it is useless to continue to pour oil on the troubled waters and it is necessary to try nitro-glycerine. ——————_+ + ____ Even in silence, Congress is remarkable for the “handle with care” label which it bears, “Your Credit is Good.” a * Anniversary ‘Sale.

Ten-two F, Every particular person should know what splendid fa- cilities we enjoy for supplying correct footwear for Easter dances and Easter weddings. There is no other establish- ment just like ours this side of New York city—no other place where you find these ex- clusive novelties of ours. In satin slippers we can supply you right out of stock with almost every shade to match the gown. . From our Special Order de- partment has come the foot- wear for most of the Easter weddings among the elite of town. We make to order shoes of any description. For thecoming Horse Show —the social event of the sea- son—we can supply you with all the correct footwear. We are displaying a new sample line of extremely swell Riding Boots—come in and see them. It’s an acknowledged fact that no other shoe store has so perfect a stock of Golf and Bicycle Footwear as we have here—indeed, the average store can’t muster more than one or two styles. For the young men who are home from college for Easter we have the sort of footwear they should take back when vacation is over. And young ladies’ smart- looking footwear, too—they are as well looked after as their brothers. It isn’t too early to think of the children’s slippers for the May Balls, which will soon be- gin. Let us have your order early if “If they’re Rich’s Shoes they’re proper.” you please—we want P to serve you in the most satis- factory manner. B.
