The Flurry With Spain. _ After more than two' years of entirely unsuccessful effort by Spain to suppress the Cuban rebellion, with the sacrifice of hundreds of millions of money and not less than a hundred thousand lives the Spanish Government seems to have awakened to the fact that in, attempt- ing to conquer the Cuban insurgents it bit oif much more than it has been able to chew, says the Philadelphia Times. Spain now despairs of prosecuting war Successfully, and" having blunder- ed to the verge of self-destruction, she is looking around for somebody to blame for her own follies and misfor- tunes. NatuI ally, she tumbles to the United States as a scapegoat to save the government from revolution at home. with indefinite rumors Of serio cus diplomatic complications which may possibly end in war. The complaint of Spain against the United States is entirely without war- rant. True, the people of the United States, as a rule, sympathize with the insurgents and that is nobody’s busi— . mess but their own; but their govern- ment has been obedient to internation- al, law and has exhausted its powers to enforce it at extraordinary inconven- ience and cost. With two thousand miles of coast and hundreds of tributaries through which munitions of war-may be taken to the ocean, it has been simply an impossibil- ity for this government to prevent the shipment of arms and munitions of war; and Cuba has been no more successful i'n.protecting her own Cuban coast than we have been in halting lawless com- merce. Of all the many vessels which have sailed-’for Cuba-during the last two years to deliver munitions of ’war, the Spanish navy has not captured more than two or ,threeiat the most, and if Spain can’t protect her own Cu- ban coast against such-commerce, how. is—sheto expect us, with our immense ocean and gulf coast, to halt the sail- ir'ng of Vessels which violate the neu- . trality laws? ' . When this country was involved in civil war Spain was one of the first to recognize the insurgents as beligerents, thus giving them the right to ship any- thing from Spanish ports; that they could get into the Southern parts but the United States protected her own coast and thus hastened the end of the rebellion. , ’ ’ New Spain arrogantly complains -of_ the-United States for not doing the impossible, while she has been tenfold mone derelict idhindering the landing of the clandestine expeditions which have sailed from this country. If Spain can’t protect the coast of Cuba, how can she expect us to pro- tect her against secret expeditions from our two thousands miles of coast? The whole army and navy of the. United States couldn’t preventthe departure of vessels laden wtih arms and munitions of war from the United States, and the whole army and navy of Spain couldn’t . prevent them from landing. It is sim~ ply child’s play for Spa-in to blame her misfortune upon the United States. The Cuban war must end in the very near future, and if Spain doesn’t realize it and act upon it, the United States must. We could in a day give the in- surgents belligerent rights, and much more fully warranted than belligerent rights were to the Confederates when Spainthus recognized them; and with belligerent rights vessels could sail from any port of this country with arms and munitions for the Cuban army in open day. If Spain continues her bluster, bel- ligerent rights must come speedily, and after that this government “must look to the interests of Americans in Cuba for the reason that there is no responsible government either In Cuba 011 Spain to give protection or to insure indemnity. We have parleyed with the Spanish folly of attempting to sup- press. the Cuban insurrection quite long enough, and the time is very close athand when the United States must do. her duty to herself, to Christian civilization and to humanities of war, bLhaltin-g the fiendIsh butchery that 1 \ ' . / - - '1 ' .. ' has prevailed in Cuba, whether it can be done in war or In peace. If Spain then wants war she must. have it, but she will accept war with ‘ the United States only to enable her to su1 render Cuba and to confess her madness by a treaty of peace with the United States involving the independ- ence of Cuba. The bluster of Spain is simply the feeble bluster of the whipped bully, and must be met as such. 4“ FEMININE CHAT. How truly beautiful the sun appeared after the season of storm and' clouds we have been passing through lately. To be hurt to the heart by one whom we love counts far 'lnore than all the slights and indignities the world may offer. ' The “Stars and Stripes . Forever” may be peculiarly martial, but to the sensitive ear there is something won- derfully plaintive in some of its strains. There is no greater mistake in the world fOI a woman than to let a man see how much she loves him. The hardest trial on ea1 th 15 to have nigh ready to break. It [is rather a knock-out blow to our idea of the high type of maternal love when We read of a mother who was quite willing to trade her ten-months old baby for 3. Shanghai rooster. Why will elderly women don false front hair and layers of rouge ? are palpably artificial, and deceive no one into the belief that they are the real belongings Of a vanished youth. ,Purple velvet mingled with sable makes a charming winter combination. Isn’t it dreadful to hear the great game Of golf referred to as “dude shinny '? ” Long scarfs of mouseline de soie,with white or black Chantilly lace, leaf pat- terns, appliqued at the ends, are a very attractive addition to the new waistcoat fronts. These are worn around the neck twice and tied in a large bow under the chin, the long ends hanging In front. They are also made of liberty silk, and of muslin, lawn, swiss and batiste, tucked and edged with lace. For shabby silk shirt waists, which have seen their best days but are still good enough to be worn under a jacket, the long scarf is an indispensable adjunct, and its ar- rival upon the scene as a fashionable novelty is most opportune. The new sashes me made of plain and "fancy plaid ribbons, also of satin and moire. They all have the bow in the back, with the long ends pointed or rounded, and are edged with narrow plaitings of mouseline. They are also made with the little pointed girdle, similarly trimmed. Of black satin ribbon, they are serviceable as well as ornamental. Avery pretty one is of black moire; the long ends are caught up at inter- vals with a'rOund‘ gathering of mouse- ine. This is also trimmed all around with a little plaigd edge. ‘v: Gen. Lee Rents‘ ‘a. Richmondofionse. Richmond, Va.., Oct. 28.—Gen.

Coit 'ot the Cuban War. Berlin, Oct. 28. --The Frankfort Zei- tung publishes a. dispatch from Madrid which quotes the Spanish Minister of Finance,- Senor Puigcerver, as saying that a large loan is necessary as the funds of Spain will be exhausted in lune, 1898. The Cuban war, the Finance Minister 8 said to have added, puts Spain to a monthly expense of 89.000.000, and the, :ivil and military departments are be- hind in their payments.
