Bompay, Nov. 18, 1969. ‘The first sendation of & thoughtiul traveller on arriving Mm any part of India tg one of wonder at the overwhelming majority of the natives over the dominant race. He already knows, of course, that this vast empire of a couple of hundred mijuons of gouls is governed, as the phrase goes, by & “handful of white men; and he may believe, pos- siblg, 4p the old vainglorious boast that ‘an Anglo-Saxon can whip three Frenchmen, five Italians and an army of niggers.” But it ty only as he pusses through the streets of Calcutta or Deilt or Bombay that he tully realizes the fact that the sub- ject race bears the proportion to the victors of nearly ® thousand to one; and not only ts this so, but this small band of whites nave fearlessly scattered them- elves over the length and breadih of tne land. In each province, it 13 true, there is a large military camp of from 10,000 to 20,090 European troops; but by far the larger portion of tho “English in India” live in twos and threes, Surrounded hy twice as many thousand natives, to whoin they administer a more or less pure variety of justice, and from whom, in return, they coliect heavy, grievously heavy, taxes. Not un‘requently, in a district comprising 400 or 500 square miles gud 10,600 or 15,000 natives, you will find only a couple of white men. In Cal- Custa tiself, the seat of governmont, tiere are less than 6,000 Europeans among three-quarters of @ mul- ton of natives. ‘ More wondertul still taan the striking disparity of numbers is the abject servility of the weaker race. This servillty Giffers ia degree in Various parts of che country. It ia greatest among the effeminate Bengalees; it ts less among the hardier inhabitants of the Punjaub and of the western coast; It ts least among the trives who dwell in the shadow of the Aimaiayas or in the desert of Seinde. But wherever BA white man journeys Wroughout this vast land he meets with the deference and respect which, from the-remotest ages, the Asiatic vassal has rendered to histord. No native approaches hum without a reve- rential saiaam, or enters lis room with covered feet, or addresses him otherwise than as “lord” or “your honor.” Sometimes, to a new comer, or to a man of very mild and missionury-like aspect, a disioyal hearted Mussalman may perhaps venture to say “toom” (you) instead of “upna’ (your honor); but if an Angio-Indian should happen to be within hearing the man will get a severe heating for his impudence, It 18 manifest to any one that, fo far as externais are tmvolved, the native population have been tamed down to @ marvelious depth of subservience. Much of this is due, no doubt, to the inherited tnstincts of (he people; but itis sttll a matter of wonder thatan alien race, a race, too, deemed by all the Indians as an unciean and inferior one. should manage to keep thelr subjects at the same pitch of degrading obe- dience as what to which the Rajabs and Mogu's ot the far past reduced them. But are the peopie in very earnest loyal to their present masters? Is their outward de:eanor a talr expression Of the reverence they feel towards the “Burra Mew Sahib” (the Queen) and her representa- tives, or 1s it only an exaggerated and figurative means of exhibiting thay more commonpiace form of loyaity which an Ainerican entertains towards the federal £xecutive aid the constitation, or which an Englishman fecls towards the Crown, the House of Commons and trial by jury? Or 14 it, on the other hand, merely a typacritical cloak for discon- tent and bitter hate—a veil that convententiy covers the treason which a favorable opportunity would develop into open, avowed, forcivie opposition to the existing authorities? Ask an Anglo-Indian what he thinks of the present condition of the country aud he will teli you that the government was never more drmiy established, and thatevery year adds to its popularity and sta- bility, He will never ure of recounting the benefits which British rule has conferred upon the people. He will direct your eyes to tie rapid growth of educational factiiues; he will ask you to remember low many young Indians there are among tie richer claases who are skilled im the learning of tue West, and he wiil go over the names of we dozen or score of newspapers pubushed by the batives in the English lauguage for circulation among this Saget section of the people, Can it be possible, he will demand that men who read shakspeare and Millon with pleasure can be otuer than loyal to ‘our government?’ Thea he wil point to the purity of tie administration of justice, the rapid construction of railroads and telegraph lines. the Apollon Of the darker rites of tue Brabmin faith, such as “suitee,”” or the lumoiation of widows upon Wie Juneral pyre of their dead husvands, and the Weil Kuown Swinging of human yicums, in. paled on @ huge hook, round a pole m jionor of one of the great religious days. But above all he holds up to your ad: muring gaze the advantages of a “seltiodt rale.’ Ju old Uities auarciy Was tue chronic condition ot the land; every few Years the death or assassination of ar precip!

They seem inigcted by te curse of the Bourbons, who have so long ruled thom.” While daring tae last half century tne other nations of Europe have @o treaied tele eolouies that the inhabitants have manifested @ patriotisin mot surpassed in the mother countries, Spain has lost @ continent and the hatred towards her hag survived two generations, It would naturaily be gupposed that tollowing om a revolution based upon liberal ideas, upon sentiments in keeping with the ago, @ different policy would control her; but so far fron this in tho treatment of the revolution in Cuba she is pursuing precisely the saiao coarse Which lost her Mexico and South America. When throavh the power of her arma, combined wilh @ coucillatory policy which has cost her leaders their piace, a powerful inaurrection is on the eve of suppression, she adds new exasperation and with It now stromeih aod unity to her rebels. Insanely proud of her own strength, which bas only the unsuistantial founda- tion of hér traditions, she manifests all the peculia tes of Weakuess, and to the passin of Latred in tae breasts of her enemies adds the, to her, more deie- terious one of contempt.

The last and most fools exciplifi- cation of this is in a wholesale order issued one day before the departure of the steamer, sending between forty and fiity prominent Cuvans, residentsof Mavana, to Spain. With a re- finement of cruelty which is seldom met with, the order, with tha connivance of the authoritios, re- mains ia the hands of the Commlesary of Poltce for days, and until a few hours before the vessel sails, aud then is served upon its astonislied vietims—men whose oply criune 18 that they are natives of the island; merchants and plaulers, in the heighi of the business season; doctors and lawyers, who have been quietly in the practice of their professions, and Who have, While protesslag no great love for Spain, eschewed all connection wilh politics; men agalust Whom no charges are brougit, only they are sus pected of sympatiy with tie iusurrectiou; of having communication with (he Cuban Janta in New York.
