There could be no better news respecting Cuba then the announcement that General Lee will shortly move his command to the island and establish his headquarters in Havana. Cubans and Americans alike ray well be glad so wise an arrange- ment. And for several reasons. () General Lee has made the Cuban ques- tion the subject of special and thorough study. He understands it in every one of its important phz He was, in the first place, an advocate of the expulsion of the Spe s by for His experience with them and his observations of their ifold cruelties and decept practiced on the Cubans taught him that there could be neither p nor prosperity for Cuba until the Spanish flag was lowered. And when he became convinced that the Maine was destroyed by Spanish agencies his Voice was for immediate redre He re- turned home to meet the lamations of the whole country, and he will now return to Cuba with the country’s fullest confi- dence. He has ability to meet the new situation as successfully as he met the old. (2) He as fully enjoys the confidence of all the Cubans. And surely he is entitled to it. He has been their firm and unfalter- ing friend from the day he first had oppor- y to examine their cause. He cham- ned them for awhile indeed in the face ve discouragement from his supe- riors here at home. Neither Mr. Cleveland nor Mr. Oln ny sympathy with the the American consul general had at Havara.

That journal, which Philadeiph sued has a high reputation for the accurac artistic quality of its illustrations, preseni- ed a picture which may have wrought hav- oc in the emotions of those residents of the capital who have not been for some time at the site of the pictured scene. Such suggestions of a complete transformation, indeed, a transplantation, have seldom, if ever, before been offered to readers. Ac- cording to this picture Washington has re- cently suffered from a geographical somer- sault, an architectural nightmare, a mind- paralyzing, reason-despoiling cataclysm. The illustration 1s labeled piphany copal Church is now being held.” G street has evidently experienced a landslide. Great { piles of rock and dirt are seen in the center, while the horses of the ear line which is supposed to occupy the thoroughfare are transformed into a group of standing and kneeling camels, veritable ships of the des- patiently awaiting their loads. The chureh edifice itself has undergone an as- tounding architectural change. There is a tower, to be sure, and behind it are roofs, but these roofs are not familiar to the eyes of Washingtonians. They have a decidedly oriental appearance, a suggestion of mina- rets, a touch of Arabian design. In the foreground are the ruins of what might pass for beer vaults or medieval dungeons. Desolation is writ large on the face of the picture. Its queer roofs and its camels, howe’ suggest that some one in the ‘Times’ establishment has crossed wires and has mixed the plates. A strong suspicion is aroused that by some legerdemain a pic- ture of the church at Jerusalem soon to be dedicated by Emperor Willlam has been substituted for that of Epiphany. It may be as well for the mailing clerk of the Times to forget to send to the emperor his Saturday morning copy, for he might, per- haps, consider this substitution an act of lese majeste. ——_+ + +____ A Romancer on the Rampage. Julian Hawthorne, the novelist, who as a “special commissioner” of the New York Journal is trying to break down the wall which shuts him out from the war investi- gation meetings, made an attack yesterday on General Boynton. which demonstrates how unreliable a reporter and how unin- formed and ineffective an investigator the romancer would make if his wish were gratified and he were placed in charge either of the conduct or of the reporting of the investigation. There is general sym- pathy wifh the contention that the fullest publicity should be given to the proceedings of the commission and that in accordance wlth wise custom the doors should be open- ed wide to reporters, but the dcubt will certainly arise in the particular case of Mr. Hawthorne whether the facilities required by the ordinary reporter for the perform- ance of his work, such, for instance, as personal presence at the hearings, are at all necessary or even desirable in the news- paper operations of the romancer’s vivid imagination. Mr. Hawthorne isposes of seneral Boynton in this fasbior ““The brigade and regimental command- ers were responsible if the camp conditions were defective,’ said General Boynton. Of course. But who was responsible for the commanders in question? What is the good of a superior officer who takes no meas} to insure the efficiency of the commanders under him? What did General Bo; war, besides draw his 7 2? Does he cons’ ton do in this and sit in his er that he was worth the money which the fathers of the young men who died from shameful negligence aid him to direct and take care of them? Boynton was not asked these que: the awful General Beaver, who the interrogative function of the on. seemed to think that if a common soldier wi killed in his camp by rotten fare or criminal neglect the brigade com- mander who was guilty of that neglect ought to and would at once have run to him and complained of it; but, as this was not done, General Boynton had no reason to suppose that the dead soldier in que: tion died from any other negligence than his own—which, of course, his brigade and regimental commanders would wish, out of compassion for the body of the dead sol- dier, to conceal. But General Boynton, according to the official stenographers, ‘never heard of more than two complaints of supplies of meat: and there was never a time when such beef as had spoiled could not have been ex- changed for good beef, if the officers had known how to exchange it!” “Well, if the officers did not know how to exchange it, and General Boynton did, why did not General Boynton instruct them in that mystery? Probably the etiquette of the service would not admit of such a thing. One would like to know what would have become of the armies and the cam- paigns and the victories such men as Hannibal, Caesar, Napoleon, Wellington, Washington, Gordon, Grant, Sherman, Frederick the Gr Kitchener, or any other general who had sense and cared to do his duty if he had sat in his tent in uch august dignity as General Boynton would seem to have done, and seen noth- ing, and heard nothing, and known nothing, except such things as those who had bee guilty of them came to him to confess? “But no; General Boynton knew the rules of the service, and his dignity would not allow of an might have suring decent ‘al Boynton showed ss of his responsibility under him was per- ause General Boynton had no ders under him. The reason that wiul General Beaver” failed to ask Boynton whether he thought he the meney paid to him for tak- ing care of the young men who died from his shameful negligence was perhaps be- cause General Boynton had no such men, young or old, entrusted to his care. Mr. Hawthorne is clearly mistaken in his im- pressiog that General Boynton “seemed to think” that the guilty brigade commander of a soldier who died from neglect should immediately report his guilt to him (Boyn- ton). Nothing doubtless would have more latter than to have had a commander approach him in order as to a superior in command, the ed confession. General Boynton did aside his dignity in order to save the lives of his men, because there were ho such men. He had no soldiers in his command. Chickamauga Park was his charge, and not a brigade, a regiment or even a company. The army of young men who died from Ger Boynton’s shameful negligence, whose vainly paid Gen- eral Boynton to ¢ hem, and whose lives were disdainfully viewed as of no ac- count by their commander, General Boyn- ton, as he sat like a brooding Buddha, self- tbsorbed in august dignity in his tent—this army is non-existent, never had existence and is simply the creation of Mr. Haw thorne’s overheated imagination. The romancing “special commis: ande oner” is perhaps not expected to know things. But clearly he could have figured more credit- x a Volunteer ter of questions to the awful Gene and could ve been more just iculous in his criticism ef witness Boynton, if he had acquired a few pertinent facts and had re- lied less exclusively upon his imagination his rhetorical resources. — No one will unfavorably criticise the rev- erend gentlemen convened in Washington for going into polities so far as to advocate peace and good will between the two Anglo- xon nations. +e r his recent obs Afi vations Zola will find it harder than ever to arrange com- fortable last chapters for the heroes of his stories. ———_>-+___ Queen Victoria's difficulty with runaway is not to be compared with Spain's trouble with stampeded soldiers. ———_ wee It must go especially hard with General Weyler to see the style Aguinaldo insists on putting on. ee A Filipino’s Plea. In today’s literary supplement will be found an entertaining and itstructive arti- cle written for The Star by Ramon Reyes Lala, a native Filipino residing -in this ecuntry, who seeks to set forth in detail tne views of his countrymen in regard to the future disposition of the islands. Hav- ing Mved here a number of years, and be- ccming acquainted with the American character and the integrity of the American purposes in this war with Spain, Mr. Lala is convinced that the brightest future for Church, Washington, D. C., where the great Lys - ‘ ef the Protestant Eais- the Philippines will be essured by the es- i tablishment of a protectorate by this coun- try over an independent Filipino govern- ment. This is a high compliment to our government and our people, and it evidently springs from a sincere appreciation by this educated representative of his race of the ability of Americans not only to govern themselves, but to scatter the seeds of good government among less fortunate peo- ple. The sufferings of the Filipinos under Spanish rule are clearly refiected in the list of destres voiced by Mr. Lala in be- half of his friends at home. He hopes to see all of these petitions granted in time, though he acknowledges that it is alto- gether likely that it will be impossible to grant all the Filipinos want at once. These petitions ere founded upon the unhappy experiences of the islanders at the hands of the Spanish rulers during many genera- tions, affecting their personal welfare and the prosperity of their naturally rich coun- try. This article appears at a season when the question of the disposition of the Philip- pines is uppermost in the American mind, and is, therefore, of exceptional value. ——__ - = —____ The Tenth Cavalry. The men of the 10th Cavalry who marched along Pennsylvania avenue today and were reviewed by the President of the United States have well earned the praise which has been bestowed upon them. Their work at La Guasimas and before Santiago stamped them as true fighters, afrald of nothing, determined to win, eager for a chance to strike a blow for their country. Their laurels have been as well deserved as any that have ever been given to sol- diers in any of the world’s campaigning. This regiment attracted especial attention because of its gallant work in alding in the rescue of the Rough Riders when those intrepid volunteers had been fired upon from ambush. As typical colored soldiers of the American regular army they are splen- did specimens of manhood, and their ap- pearance today amply justifies the high estimate placed on their abilities by their officers and the military* authorities. The President in reviewing them on their pas- sage to their post has paid an appropriate compliment not only to this particular or- ganization but to the colored man in the ranks in general as well. —— + oe A statistician declares that the wheat supply will soon be insufficient to supply the world with bread.

The Boston Transcript, commenting upon the increase of the regular army to 100,000 men, Says that before enlisting men should demand a guarantee of three meals a day and a bed. Yes; before campaigns are begun the War Department should send a force of men ahead to construct hotels in territory like that in which the battle of Santiago was fought. The world over fighting armies have seized the terri- tory or been beaten back in attempting to seize it. Under the method proposed the fighting army would come up when as- sured that arrangements had heen perfect- ed by which it could have three full meals a day and a good bed at night. ——_—__eo—___ ~ He Will Remain Senator.
