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."

Tito hellish motives of tobacco fac

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

bill because Spain daughters the inno

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.

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.
