The Cuban Revolution.
It its now twenty months since the
rebellion ‘broke out on the Island of
Cuba. Starting with but a handful of
men, the rebellion has reached all the
dignity of a revolution, and now, in ad-
dition to having possession of two-thirds
of the Island, has two distinct armies,
neither of which General Weyler, with
all his immense army, dares to seek,and
force to battle.
Desperate efforts were recently made
by General Weyler to dislodge and dis-
perse the force of General Maceo, re-
uniting only in a series of disastrous
battles, leaving Maceo entire master of
the situation.
ly demonstrated by the uniform failure
of the Spanish troops to destroy the in-
surgent armies, that what began as a
rebellion is now a revolution, and that
Cuba can never be restored to the domi-
nation ot Spain.
If this were an ordinary war, con.
ducted on the principles of civilized
warfare, there would be no need for
interposition from any of the leading
nations of the world, 'but- it has long
since degenerated into a war of bar-
barism, 'o'i devastation of property and
inhuman 'bnlchery of both soldiers and
non-combatants. In no conflict of the
century has there been such fiendish
barbarism exhibited as marks the record
of the Cuban insurrection, and for
which‘Spain is chiefly responsible to
the world.
Itmay now be accepled as settled be‘
yond dispute, that Spain cannot con.
quer and again govern Cuba, and yet
Spain issending vast numbers of fresh
troops to the field only to be decimated
by disease and to be killed or maimed
in the-savage war-fare that prevails. It
is demonstrated that neither Gomez
not Maceoeaa be successfully attacked
by all the power that Spain can send
there and with scores of thousands of
' Rives ahead y sacrificed, millions of pro-
perty destroyed and no prospect what-
ever of conquering the rebellion, it is
the imperativeiduty of civilized nations
trike the United States, France and Eng-
land, to inter-pose and halt this blot
upon the civilization of the age. We
do not want Cuba, nor do any of the
other nations, but every consideration
oEindividual, national and international
justice demands that the hand cf Spain
Should be stayed and that this fiendish
warEare should cease.
'i‘he now reasonably assured election
of McKinley will bring with it the ver-
dict of the American people in fa-
vor of; a more aggressive attitude in
support of the Cuban insurgents.
Spain should see the handwriting on
the wall, and, while it is yet within her
power to retire from the contest with-
out hopeless dishonor and bankruptcy,
She should open the way for the peace-
ful'surrender of an island that she can
no 3Banger gOvern. It is inexorable fate
that Cuba shall be free from the grasp
0f Sprain, and continued warfare on the
career? the Spanish Government is sim-
ply wanton murder.

September statistics of our foreign
commerce beat the record. The ex-
ports for the month, surpassed those of
anySeptemberin our history. They
amounted to $85,000,000, which is near-

' Theremarkable feature of this year’s

one month alone nor in breadstufi‘s

In short, it is now clear- '
months ending with September amount
to $666,000,000, or $108,000,000 more
than in the same nine months of last
year, while the imports were but $522,-
000,000, or $79,000,000 less than last
year.
With an noses of exports of mer-
chandise amounting to $144,000,000, to
which must be added $38,000,000 in
silver, it is not surprising that the net
exports of $44,000,000 in gold in the
nine months of 1895 have turned this
year to an excess of $9,000,000 in gold
imported, with the stream still flowing
this way. '
