THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 13, 18G9.
AMFBICAN rKKiCmNUVS. PRACTICE.
From the rill Ma U f.'a rttle.
The Thnrn of Monday contained a telegram
from it rhiliulclphla corrcspond!i)t more in
telliifiWc find probably more exact than Mr.
Keutor's on the same subject announcing that
the llotteo of Representatives has passed a
resolution declaring its sympathy with the Cuban
insurgents, and promising lis support to tho
President whenever lie shall think it right to re
rocnize their Independence. If the negotiations
between the United States should be renewed,
this step will necessitate some iinrcnious special
pleading on tho part of .Mr. Motley. It ,i ditli
cult to conceul tho feellns which would have
been excited in America if tho House Com
mons had i.asscdan analogous resolution in 1801.
The adoption by a majority ot nearly three
to one of an address to the Crown
expressing sympathy with the Southern
States, and promising her Majesty support iu
the event of her thinking it right to recognize
their iudependencc, would have been accepted
almost as a declaration of war. Spain is not
likely to look on the act of tho House of Repre
sentatives in this light, because she has enough
on her hands without that quarrel with the
United States w hich is all that is needed to make
the loss of Cuba inevitable. l!ut the character
of the resolution is not altered by the degree of
impunity which atte nds it. If it is right for the
IIoiisc of Representatives to move the 1'residcnt
to recognize the independence of Cuba, it would
have been right for the House of Commons to
move the Crown to recognize the independence
of the South. We are instilled, therefore, in
atklng some of our American critics to explain
Jiow it is that the same body which has just
taken tlio former step itself nourishes latter in
dignation against (ireat Britain for taking, nat
the latter siep, but .something infinitely slim L ol
jt. So much has lic.cn said m the- I nitril Mutes,
on the unprecedented conduct of this country in
recognizing the Southern States hh a belligerent
and this not merely by members ol Con
gress, and others who claim a prescriptive
right to talk patriotic nonsense, but by
journalists and politicians of real eminence thai
this is not too much to claim at their hands.
Will either the conductor of the Xatitm or tho
correspondents of the haiUj AVics or H)wvaUr
condescend to give us what we crave ? II it had
been Canada instead of Cuba that is now in iu
Biirreetion, all would have been plain. Even then
to treat a recognition of independence as equiva
lent to n recognition of beiligereiicy would be
stretching matters rather far, though" soreness of
temper is usually apt to see points of resemblance
which escape ordinary eyes. Rut towards Spain
the House of Representatives has no ill-feeling
if we are not mistaken, it has already declared
. its sympathy with the Spanish revolution so
that some slight sacrifice t consistency was not
more than might have been looked lor. Since
this saeritiee has not been made; Englishmen
will have a right to regard American politician
as simply out of court with regard to the
proclamation of neutrality, and the ill-will of
which Creat Britain lias in consequence been
the object, unless they can draw some distinc
tion between the insurgents in Cuba and the in
surgents in the South. We cannot be expected
to submit to their disinterested efforts to take
out the mote that is in our eve unless they
will at least recognize the existence of the very
large beam which has just made its appearance
' in their own eye. We wish to ask them a very
himple question: Why. it it is right for Amer
icans to feel and express sympathy wit h the Cu
ban insurgents, was it wrong for Knglishnien to
feel and express sympathy with the Southern
insurgents? Perhaps the easiest way of dealing
with the dillieulty is to abandon as "indefensible
the position taken up by the House of Represen
tatives. This, as may be gathered from an an
ticipatory reference to the subject in the Spt cta
tor, will be the line adopted by the most reason
able of those Knglish Liberals who have con
sistently sympathized with the Republican party
in Congress. They will say, with perfect truth,
that one man's ill doing is not excused by an
other man's subsequent ill doing; that the fact
of our being wrong in 18(11 is in no way altered
by the Americans being wrong iu 18t')8. Rut if
this is to be the answer, it will be well for those
Who give it to guard in sonic way against the
ycry sweeping application of which it is sus
ceptible. It certainly seems as if soma Kng
lish Liberals had become unduly chary of
their sympathy with insurrections since
the outbreak of "the civil war in America. There
can be no objection to their revising their theory
of rebellion if they thought it stood in need of
such treatment a point on which we should
perhaps be Inclined to agree with them but
they must be on the watch against the extreme
absolutism to which their new creed threatens
to commit them. The doctrines which have
been preached in the Fiwrtalor and the JJail;
JVew.i with reference to the insurrection ol the
South are equivalent, as it seems to us, to the
assertion that armed resistance to authority can
never be lawful. We do not for a moment, sup
pose that this opinion is really held by the jour
nals in question, but we confess that we arc
utterly unable to reconcile their views of the
American war with any other theory. If Ame
ricans may not sympathize with the Cubans, if
Englishmen might not sympathize with the
Southern States, when it is lawful for either
Americans or Knglishmen to sympathize with
insurgents anywhere? Is rebellion always
sinful, and if "not, what is the test by which
its innocence is to be recognized? Those
Americans who prefer to draw a distinction be
tween the eases, and to justify the proposed
recognition of Cuba as an independent State
whije condemning the recognition of the South
even as a belligerent power, will probably not
trouble themselves to reconcile the two judg
ments, unless, as in the instance of Mr. Motley,
they may be compelled to attempt it in the
course of oflicial business. Certainly no man
can be judged very hardly for shirking siuli a
task. Sojfar as the facts arc kuown. the posi
tion of the Cuban insurrection is far less favor
able than tho position of the South was at any
time during the lirst two years of the civil war.
On the theory so persistently advanced by Mr.
Seward, even the existence' of a civil war in
Cuba is not yet established. Why should it
be regarded as anything more than ''a
domestic disturbance which, although it has
severe peculiarities, is in fact only such a sedi
tious insurrection as is incidental to national
iirogress in every State?" This is how Mr.
Seward thought fit to describe the secession of
the South, and it is hard to see why oilier (Gov
ernments should not be allowed the benefit of a
similar mode of dressing up lacts. Spain Is in,
great need of "national progress" just now, and'
if a seditious insurrection is everywhere inei
deutal" to this blessing. professed lovers ol liberty
ought to be above taking advantage of the
"severe peculiarities" by which it maybe for the
moment attended.
Mcnlul AwaK'iiiii lit liin;i.
The AVio EiKjUimU r has an interesting article
entitled "The Renaissance in China," from which
we have gathered some facts on the great men
'tal awakening iu that country. It was the lesson
taught them by their invaders which showed
them they had something to learn, for within a
year from the close of hostilities, large bodies of
Chinese troops might have been seen under for
eign drill-masters on the very ground where
they had been defeated. Arsenals, with ma
chinery from foreign countries, were at once
I nit in operation; one of them employing nine
lundred workmen; and navy yards w ere estab
lished where the construction of steam gun
boats, entirely by native mechanics, is now go
ing forward. At three of the open ports tiny
Lave established schools for the study of the
languages and sciences of the AVest; and in con
nection with the arsenal at Shanghai, the Manda
rins have employed three gentlemen skilled in
the Chinese language to translate works on sci
ence and the useful arts.
It can hardly be supposed that there is no
opposition to these innovations;-the masses of
he people are unprepared for them. Their pre
judices against foreigners continue, and they
oppose the Introduction of new arts and sciences
as they do 1V ,luw religion. Indeed, the-e people,
who may he called the conservative element,
believe, that these innovations are but means enir
ployed by missionaries to ir.trodu.-e the Chris
tian religion among iheni. Fortunately, the pro-j;uk-iVe
party is the party h )U-r, l..,l(Ui!g U
highest offices under the Government, and tho
learned clftc. . Tho advantage is, therefore,
entirely with them, and whatever cause they
advocate will be respected by the people.
Another Important phase in this movement
is a growing desire for books of science among
the literary classes, some of whom contribute
liberally for the publication of scientific works,
nnd feci repaid by the honor of having their
mimes Associated with the advancement ol learn
ing. To meet this demand for real knowledge,
the Viceroy of Kiangnan is bringing out a series
of works on scientific subjects, mostly by Euro
pean authors, cnitd-oving at a high salary, In the
capacity of editor, a learned native who received
his instructions from Knglish missionaries.
Among these is Euclid, with a preface by a
Chinese scholar, in which he replies to the com
mon charge that missionaries take advantage of
mathematics to propagate Christianity, byadmit-
ting the fact and setting forth the transcendent
value of religions truth.
Among the recent publications in China is one
from a gentleman of wealth and rank, on engi
neering, and another by the same on chemistry.
This writer lately published an essay In a Chi
nese newspaper, in which he discussed the scien
tific labors of missionaries, and the advantages
and disadvantages of foreign Intercourse. He
docs ample justice to the advantage derived
from the piirehiise of foreign arms and for the
protection which foreigner extended over the
open ports during the late rebellion in that
country. Yet. on t'ie oilier hand, he thinks that
the "advanlagi s derived from foreign commerce
are not sulhcienl to nuke amends lor the e ils to
which it has given rise.'1 "lint the benefits,'' he
adds, "which u c dei ive from the teachings of
missionaries arc More than we can enumerate. ''
This learned and nolih; mail then recapitulates
the publication ; of luii-sionaries on scientific
subject-, commencing with the .Icsuit fathers
two centimes a'o. and coming down to those of
the rroest:mts ol the present flay, and elo-.es
with tin- renia'-k: ".Ml thee are the works of
missionaries; tliev are well adapted to augment
the knowledge and quicken the intellect of
China."
This is remarkable language from a Chinaman,
and what makes it more so is the fact that he is
not a Christian. Neither is he an idol iter, lie
seems to have shaken off the lailh of his anees
toi'Sj but. is not yet prepaied to receive the
spiritual teachings of Christianity. Rut a great
deal has been gained by the confession of such
men that the influence of Christian mission
aries lias been beuelieial to the people. It ap
pears tliat the opinion prevailing in China is
that the people are on the ce of a great moral
and intellectual revolution, in support of which
they bring forward a saying of one of their
sages of aiuiquhy, that '-ft is the prime duty of
the sovereign to" seek tho renovation of his
people.''

Hie insurgents in t lie ieinity ol .fivaani, a in I tlni! on
the lirst day's lmnvli they encountered tliem at
"Sueiia del Agiiii.'' when; the troops received a
severe check. It also states that the insiii gents oc
cupied Santa Sns.ina and San Luis, and that the
Spanish hospitals in Paha.1. Soiiano were Plied with
sick and wounded. The writer adds that the Ame
rican flag had been raised and saluted in (.'amp HI
Ramon, the headqni-.i lei s ol General Mantiol, who
had issued the foUowinir proclamation in reply to the
recent, one (it v oimr Valmaseda, commander of ttie
Spanish forces in the Eastern liepariineiit :
To the People of Culia Fell nv-eiti;: -ns: The
Spanish General Yi'.'.tniiscdii issued a proclamation
on the 4th instant to the inhaliitaiits of the country,
the object of which Is to authorize arson, murder,
and disregard ol property, and to sanction all the
horrors which vile mercenaries, without conscience
or religion, ni e capable ol committing.
This decree, with the preamble that precedes ft,
is an evident prot I of the most biuefaieed cruelty.
The prologue is the song of praise of a conduct
which has not been observed. The proclamation Is
the otticial sanction ot practices that have been en
forced for three months.
The Senor Count prides himself on having par
doned us; of having olVercd protection to our
mothers and to the women we had abandoned ; and
this same most excellent Ceiiuf, wishing to make a
chronological event in his personal history, threat
ens us with a new era, to begin on the Mill Instant,
when, to quote his own words, "the man ot yester
dav will be no more."
Cubans On the lMli of January the Spanish (icne
ral oeeiipied'the place whereon Kuvaiuu once had
stood now covered Willi rubbish and ashes.
Almost three months have passed since the fatal
day, nmi this period is stained with the blood of
hundreds of uetuns and the burning of their quiet
homesteads.
W hile the "illustrious" Count, hiding his obesity
in the tower of Zai ragoitia, keeps up the appear
ances of an indulgent tyrant, his soldiers and the
Spanish volunteers hateful tools of a thundering
Jupiter of modern times murder women, children,
and old men, hum houses, roll, violate t lie wife lic
iore her very husband, kill the child before its lather,
and invent, iu their Kiry, horrors that the most bar
barous ferocity would shudder at.
The blood of their victims is still warm; the muti
lated body of Mieiiel Milanes, that of I'alalo, mur
dered before Ins mother, wile, and sister; that of
Itanion Martine.; a .vl his sou Lucas, the one aged
and crippled, find the other a mere stripling; that
ofAilollo Kodriguez and 1 loreuclo Iliaaovu, both
quiet young men. with no other crime than t hat of
having preserved pure 111 their hearts the sacred lire
of liberty: that of l.ernardo Camiteiio, torn lrom the
anus ol 'his wife inter scarcely a month of marriage:
the body of liartolonie Tamayo, guilty of having
sons.tkat loved tlieir country ; tnose 01 ttie nrot tiers
Nnviola, Luis Mes! ' i', Francisco I'uente Aguirre, Luis
Giieini, Diego liaiksta; that of Vian, a t icuchaian,
eighty years of age, murdered in his own house.
where lie lav covered with leprosy; those of Luis
Keren and a ureal many others whose disliLiircd
remains were abandoned on the high rua Is to the
mere v of birds of prey these, all these, are the
bloody proolsof ttie kind indulgence, of the never
too highly to oe praised humanity, 01 the gentlemanly
and philnnturopic count 01 amiaseiia.
And while lie authorizes the execution of these Im
pious slaughters, do yi.u know the protection he
otters to the women taken n.v toreo to the rums ol
lliijiimo and Jiguani? My blood rises with indigna
tion w lien 1 remember that tle-y serve as pastimes to
Ins licentious troops. Oiliccrs and soldiers, without
respecting a wile's or a sister's gi ief. force their way
into their houses, seoil' at then' aillietion, and take
pleasure in repeating to them that the objects of ilieir
love are dead or ill soon die at their hands, and,
using ioleiice, prohme the sanctuary of jri'icf, con
verting it into an impure spot by menacing with
sword ( r bayonet the umortunate woman who re
sists tlieir lascivious proposals.
Citizens: The ( ieueriil Vulniascda. who for t hree
mouths lias authorized these hulchcrics and atroci
ties, has the boldness, the unheard-of Impudence, to
present himself before you as the indulgent and
loving lather of so many straying children.
I'.rolhers: Your country needs all your ell'orts;
come all, to die il necessary, lighting and untiring to
save Cuba lrom the hateful tyieuny ol Spain. There
can be 110 wavering between dying like sheep at ihe
hands of the Spanish executioin r or dying on the
baitle-luld detending our holy independence,
brothers, cur cvci lasting curse be upon Spain; let
vengeance make us tigers, let Hatred swell our
veins, ami let us die before surrendering ; let us lly

On the :inth of April last the London Daily AV,r
published the following:
The reason why (icneral firant will not recogni.e
the Cuban Insurgents, as it is given in the telegram
or a correspondent 01 a contemporary, seems per
leclly suitlcieiu. It in thai the Cuban insurrection
cannot sustain itself without aethe loreigu aid.
i Ins, it may be remeiub-red, is what our own cor
respondent had previously stated in Ins letters.
If a contrary Impression had gained ground iu
this country, it was owing to proe lings in
the House ol Kcpresentatives Hl Washington
ol a kind very liable 10 be misunderstood m this
country. 1 hat House laid pn,eil a resolution to the
elleet that whenever the President should think
proper to exercise the discretion vested In him by
the Constitution to recognize w oiban insurgents
as lawful belligerents, it would siipoit him tin the
face of it, this w,is a resolution which could commit
nobody to anything. As an ub'e New York journal
observes, "As far .is the President is concerned of
course tlie resolution is simple boih. It will be the
duty of the president to recognize the existence of a
state of war in l id'a whenever there is a war; and
iu discharging this duty he will need the sup
port of the House to the same degree, and no
nunc, us he needs Its support iu simiing hum
or composing his annual message.'' 01 eourie it
urgiu-N a very hnvAenv of imlitical responsibility, to
say the least, that a minority of the House should bu
toiiiid wnnpg to support a resolution that laid no
tMi'-r td;ect i nt. to ,;ai the sj-ec.i.'.pers w.'iu in! now-
trying to persnsde the American public that there Is
a desperate "struggle" going on hi Cuba, and that it
Is their duty and Interest to help It; but prsetlesl im
portance the resolution of the llonse has none. The
Cuban Insurrection appears to he very much like th
Fenian Insurrection of 1sr.-67 In point of extent,
resources, and success, and while It remains In this
state Is as little likely to be recognized by a soldier
like (irant s the Fenian Insurrection.
