While tho stubborn warfaro of these unyielding forces has proceeded with fluctuating results that in the long run have practically balanced each other, a third army of human beings has been slowly ground to distinction. Of their woes wo mut think, and, having thought, we must act Though tho Spaniards have been i-liielly confined within the limits set up by themselves; prisoners, in fact, within their own fortifications, yet they have retained a fear-compelling power over tho feihlo minds of tho children and tho timorous natives of both sexes who were afraid to light and did not dare to lieu. Those pacilicos quietly obeyed the govern ment when orders went forth in .o tho country regions to gather within town limits and stay there. Tho expected freedom to livo in peace under tho Spanislt army changed at onco to death dealing bondage. Unable to cultivato land to any great extent, horded to. gethcr in huts unlit for swluo, suffering from lack of food, and by lock of food rmdered more helpless and weak spir ited than before, thoy have died like flios in autumn; and in dying have suf fered woes that tiro uncqualod oven by tho bloody sufferings of tho Armenians or tho plague-ridden starvation of the Hindoos. The language of a moderate woman like Clara Barton, the famous Rod Cross heroine; and tho storios pic. turcd bv tho truthful camera, more than justify these comparisons. In one hospital alono a place where care and tender oversight are expected four hundred of the paciticos have died of starvation. Tho burdens of tho insur gents, who, in rebelling did so in full expectation of tho fortunes and misfor tunes of war, have been as naught bo sido tho woes of those unhappy non combatants. Where Spain has slain its liu ailreils by tiro and by sword, it has slain its hundreds of thousands by hunger and by neglect. This has tak en place and is still doing so within ninety miles of tho land that declares in favor of "life, liberty and tho pur suit of happiness." are pine Mini mir niitnls unoiiuftised.

Tito hellish motives of tobacco fac tories and sugar gamblers in pointing out to a gioat, fair-minded country u chance to filch from Spain, because shu is weak, that which is hers as truly as Now England is ours, has moved us only to contend and not to approve. Wo refuse to add to our radical prob lems at the noil of self-seeking men. The heart of the nation is tturcsp n sive to such temptation, and further- inoru even the terrible Mnino disa.ster, with its sorrow and its loss has grand ly shown to tho world that we are slow to augerand plenteous in conservatism. Despite all guesses to the contrary, our people have refused to bcliovo that tho Spanish government could he suicidal enough to have direct connection with tlio disaster. Wo bolinvo that sho would foresee more damage to horsolf than to us in this sudden and horrible event. If this were all that had hap pened, an indemnity would bo suf ficient, and a war bu quite contrary to international precedents. Hut while this nation, set in might to lead tho western hemisphere, can stand insults to its vast self it cannot permit inhumanity to its weak neigh bors. It will enter into coullictwith Spain nnt because certain of victory, bill because Spain daughters the inno cent. TIih nation believes in tho glo ries of peace, but it must bo "peace with honor" and not with dishonor tnat assuredly comes from silence in tho presence of brutal abuses. By its own past, it knows full well tho horrid cost of war, yet its great, true, heroic heart beats high to declare that it is hotter to die in protecting tho defenso -loss than to livo in falsehood to its own grand past. Its conscience is aroused. Its arm is bared to smite and that swiftly, lost there bononooftho starving left to save. With such a puro motive, its actions will have tho cordial good will of Euro, pean nations. Short, decisive work will be made of tho solemn task, and whon the smoke has cleared justice will have been done to tho unjust, and "Cuba Libre" may then develop in quiet its own individuality. . Sg && ' ' 5-oo. arc Tho war measure of Spain against harmless ones willg ever stand out prominontly in tho annals of the bru talities of whicli our raco is capable. This is not war with its glamour of ox citomont and of chance, but relentless murder without the shedding of blood. Whc n man sees a weak one perse cuted and refuses to sido with tho weak ho is no man. The rule for a mail is tho rule for a nation. Murder of wom en and children, helpless and enfeebled and stat ving, is at our door, at last we begin to appreciate it. Thoir broken livts, their untimely deaths, their wrights to a happier condition are making themselves alowly uudor&tood among our people. Every stratum of society is permeated. The groat un derlying love of fair play is stirring this nation north and south. And it is girding it-tolf to piinhh and not to wage war. lotlves AMEKICA'S 8UM1ION8, fiUndfaxt, Amorlcat Troubles arc falling; Cloudy cover Cnba'a Mar, Had hearts arc calling.
