appeals to the ehlvahy of the Ameri

she is concerned to forego all bitter
ne And yet this personal aspect of the
situation does not change the Ftern
necessities of Justice. It is taught in
the deed of American democracy, as
it is by Uio yet higher pieccpts of
Cluistlanity, that the woe of the queui

more holy In the .sight of God, than Is

Tlie Volunteir Reseri e.
The enlistment blank ot the N tlonil
Viluntti-r Keservc, which The Trib
une printed first on lubt Tuesday
morning and lias Mnee kept Htandlng
In Its columns, Is now bein printed
nnd circulated throughout the United
States, The Tribune received a per
honal request from tho organizers of
this patriotic movement, which bears
the oili'ufii indorsement of tho vviu- de
partment, of the leading active and
mired cenerals of tho army and of
tho governots of nearly nil the states,
to punish the blank freo of cost, as a
public duty. The same request was
simultanedu'hly' madoto our contem
poraries and wo cannot understand
why any of them should have hesitat
ed to comply,
it Is proposed by Lieutenant Oen
eial Kchoflold. the head of this move
l it and the prominent military and
ceeutlvo oillelnla and e-oll!clalH co
operating with him, to creatn a na
tional voluntiu; r servo whose objects
Vhall bo tii ttrWigt'ljan the available

ot war bJtween the United States and
any foreign power la take up nnnH,
If called upon by the constituted au
thorities of their Ktato or tho United
States through tlie lawful existing
channels. Headquarters of the Na
tional Volunteer Iteserve have ben
established In New York, from which
enlistment blanks aio sent out to
whom they will bo bist thought avalt
al le. It Is Intended that the perma
i.ent organization will include tho
president of tho United States to bo ck
oill' lo commnnder-ln-chiet, the ticcre-tru-y
of war to be ex-ofllcla vies tuin
maniler of the military forces, nnel tho
gcier.al of tlie army commander; the
seretaty ot tho ni'vy to be ex-ofllclo
vies commander of the naval forces
nnd tho admiral of the navy to bo ex
ofllclofommander, thegevcrnor of each
state to lie e-otnclo cominunilor of all
tlie leiervo of his ov.n commonwealth,
and tho adjutant general of each state
to le ex-oflkio vice commander oE
the st-Jtc A record and address of nil
men enlisted shall be kfpt at the bead
quarter?, nr.d the original rolls trans
mitted dltcet to the war and navy de
pat tments, there to be Included and
reeognlsieel In tho summary of the mil
iary fortes ot tho United States, nnd
a copy Fhnll alsa be filed v ltli the
governor of each stale of the volun
tens in his commonwealth.
In brief, tho ldta is to have tlie
patriots of the countiy, the men who,
in their coum s emergency, would
not wait to be charted Into its ter
vlce, lint who would promptly volun
teer, known nnd registered, thus en
abling our officials u Fay to the vvoiM,
not "we have so many million men of
itiilltaiy ago who might bo impressed
Into tho service If needed," but "we
have a jierminsnt. enlisted, volunteer
lesoivo of so many millions, ready to
spring Into line at the word of com
mand." The placing of this knowl
edge In definite stat'sttcs hefore Ihi
lopo would quickly constitute a grand
1 oa rj measure.
Cut out tho blank elsewheie, fill It
out nnl ioiwaid it as directed. It wilt
not cost an thing or entail any liabil
ity fuither than that which tests upon
eveiy tine citizen vvlun his country
lias ne;d of him.
It is easy in this fit of popular ex
citement tj .ay that the president of
the United States has been derelict In
his duty because lis didn't instantly
pull a pistol and commence pcppcilng
nt Spain, but It will not bo to easy to
get the sober second Judgment of tlie
nation to believe It. Six months, yes,
six weeks fiom now, theflre alarm
ptcsent assailants of William McKln
ley will bo groveling In the dust in
search of patdon.
A New Terror of the Sea.
It is very evident that there nre
iaipe possibilities In the little Hol
land submailno torpedo boat. At an
exhibition given In Staten Island
sound last week, for tlie benefit of a
tepiesentatlve of the United States
navv, this porpoise-shaped craft suc-(""-sfully
submerged he! self to a depth
of seventeen feet, or as far as the
.shallowness of the sound permitted,
and traveled Invisibly beneath the
sin face for more than 1,000 leet. Then
she bobbed up, took a new snltf of
litsh air, and went under again. Ouly
a Mv bubbles on the surface gdve evi
dence of her coutse. To an enemv
standing off some distance In a choppy
sea her approach would be absolutely
Invisible. She could slip up unex
pectedly, dive under the hostile ship,
attach to Its keel a toipedo with a
llmo fuse and run away without being
cten. Tho e.pIoslon would be tlie
only audible ot visible evidence of her
activ ity.
Another fe.itute Is the location fore
and aft of two foimldablo dynamite
guns, v hlch, when the boat Is alloat
r,." tho huiface, Just escape the wash
of the waves. Uach gun is twelve feet
long, eight inches in diameter, and
tuns up from tho inside of tho boat at
an angle of 15 degrees. "Running par
allot with It," rays a description In tho
Sun, "for three feet ftom Its breach
is another tube of the same diameter,
In which compressed air and kuh'
povder sufficient to hurl a shell pro
jectile two feet torn; containing eighty
pounds of dynamite for a mile and a
halt nie stored. This gun is Intended
for use against forts principally, but
it can bo used against ships under
1'iivi.rablo ciicumstanecs. The boat is
designed to approach the object which
t Is deslied to hit submerge 1 When
dm gets within range she is to Use to
the mifacf", tho man in the conning
toner gives the signal and the gun is
Jischatge.l. For the first three feet
tlie projectile travels through the tube
by tho force of a compressed air
chat go of E00 pounds pressure. Then
its sides serapo ugainst a button
which automatically explodes the
powder charge nnd the projectile is
hulled tluough tho inuzle of the gun
at 2,000 pounds pres.suie. A piopeller
shaped vane fixed In tho end of tlie'
projectile keeps It in the light course.
Tho powder choice is regulati el by tho
distance the boat ia ftom the object
it is desired to hit. Itoth the com
pressed air and tho powder are ad
mitted Into the tttbo by a s.vstem of
alvea behind the projectile. Tho
whole thlrirr is done simply by touch
ing" a spilng. Sir. Holland Is confi
dent that ho can hit any object jus
large as a w at ship within 2,000 ards
without exposing his boat to hostile
flro for longer than a minute or so.
i:ven then tho target lie offets Is so
small that there Is not ono chance In
a hundted that lie could be hit. It he
should Le hit, his boat would not ne.
cessarily bo dlsahled. The inuzzlo of
tlie dynamite gun could bo shot nway
without Interfering with the boat'jS
management."
It should be understood, of course,
that some of these representations re
main to be tested. Uut If tho ship can
travel submerged for 400 yatds in
smooth water without accident and
with the ship's mechanism under thor
ough control, as tho Holland boat hus
already done, tho achievement of tho
boat's other claims ought not to bo
Impossible. At all events tho pros
pect that to imvul watfaro will soon
bo added a now terror, tho teiror of
tho unheralded destruction of war
ships, against which no effectiva pro.
vision can ho made, a destructlvcncss
as swift nnd treacherous as was that
of the Maine when riding nt peace in
Havana hnrbor, would seem to
sticngthen materially tho demand for
peace with honor.
Tomorrow night in tho Arlington
hotel in Washington a public reception
will bo given In honor of Captain
Charles IX Slgsbee, the hero of the
Maine. President, cabinet, congress
and the remainder of official W'ashfiig
ton tto expected to attend; nnd It is
a safe guess that for every American
present In the flesh there will bo 100
other Amcrlcnns present In sympathy.
Men like Slgsbee exalt a nation.
Tho graceful net of the lhlltsh queen
and government In sending Ambassa
dor I'aut'cefote to Captain Slgsbee with
a messago of congratulation will not
be lost on the American people. Our
Kngllsh cousins are doing their kin
ship ptoud.
The time has about come to Invito
Spain's torpedo boat flotillas to a sur
prise party.
m
Blanco's apology and Sraln's good
promises com.! too late. The clock
has struck.
A good deal of abuse is being heaped
on Senator Hanna, but what for7
m
"Alternative proposals" will not do.
There Is no alternative save war.
In peace or war be prepared, every,
body, to stand by the flag.

TIIKItn Is a widespread and grow
ing feel'ng that the time when
this country will Intervene to put
a stop to the atrocities which are
being poipetrated by Spain In
Cuba, under the excuse of suppressing
the rebellion thct. Is to be almost count-i-d
by days. Tho powerful nnd righteous
reasons which impelled tho Cubans to re
volt against the continued domination
of Spain, nnd engage in a war for in
dependence, are generally known and
heartily sjmpatbizecl with, but thete is
less familiarity with iho character of the
country and vvomlotful resources In time
of peace. Ot an Irregular ctescent shape,
Cuba Is much larger than popularly sup
posed, for It is 1M miles long, has an
iivcrago width ot bO miles und an at en
ot 4'j,319 squaro miles, without including
Its adjacent Islands, which add over :,W)
souaro miles more. Although mountain
ous in tho intctior, much of tho roast
lino Is low and flat, and difficult ot ap
proach on account of tho numerous reets
and small islands. NotwlUistauehng this
feature of tho coast, it is said that no
other Island In tho wcild lias as manv
excellent liarbois In ptoportlon to Us
size. Of these, Havana, Matanzas, I3a'ila
Honda, Marlel, Xeuvlttis, Nlpo and Cat
ilenas, on tho ncrth side, and Santiago de
Cuba, Trinidad, Guantanamo and den
fuegos, on tho south side, are the riin
cipal und best known.
o
Tho inland o; Cuba Is divided into six
provinces, tho most thickly populated of
which Is Havana, nnd tho least Is Fuerto
l'rinclpi Tin total population befoie
th piei-ent Insuiiection was over l.OU
UW but U Is estimated that at least half
a million hivo since perished In battle
by ills' aso and 1-y starvation. Althoug'i
there Is much cb artel and cultivated land,
there tiro no less than K),000,iMQ acres ot
almost Impenetrable forest, fullv 13,l)J0,
JOO ot which have never been disturbed
by man. fiut the soil which has been cul
tivated Is marvelously rich and produc
tive. To what extent this Is .so is shown
rjy tho fact that, notwithstanding the dis
couragements to Inditsttlil enterprises
tluough the misrule ot Spain, the oxpoits
In 1693 were valued at evot 0,000 000 tipau
Ish dollars.
o
Notwithstanding the prevalence ot el
low fever In tho seacoant cities and towns,
tho greater part of Cuba Is said under
normal renditions to bo a very healthy
place. Although not altogether in the
troplrs. It has all tho characteristics ot
the torrid region. It has a wet and do
season nnd ecept In few spots In the
mountains not even light trosts. The
(Prevailing temperature Is not unpleasant

degrees, while tho averugo is 7T degree;.
o
Tho chief agricultural products nre
sugar, coffee and tobacco, of which the
United States takes the greater part. In
1R13. for example, thcro were S1S.89I tons
of sugar produced, of which 718 iOi tons
wern exported, tho United States taking
6S0.Ct2 tons. Ot ir.T.WO bales ol tobacco

the whole Is entirely diverted ftom tho
Island to tho uses of the Spanish crown.
It Is supposed that t19 negro race
cither prcdomlmtcs In point ot numbers
In Cuba, or at least neaily so. but this
docs not appear to bo the tact, for Just
before tho rebellion It was estimated '.lint
thero were less than half a million of this
raeo on tho Island, ngilnst over a million
whites and about M.000 Chinese. Of tho
white, tho natlvo born, or Cubans, are
by far tlio best educated, but neither tho
mass of tho Spanish residents nor the
negroes aro overburdened with scholastic
knowledge. There seems no doubt that
under proper government tho wealth ot
Cuba would bo prodigious, and even with
a poor rule, but freo fiom the oppicstdin
ot Spain, It should bo of more than ordi
nary proportions.
