The Powers.
If 11 year ago the president of the
United Staten had sent courteous but
ixpllilt notice, both to Spain and to
the six great 'tfurappnu powers, of his
intention within thirty days to Inter-iim-

That tliete would have been a syllnhle

rut It is Inexpressibly humiliating
tn the great body of the American
penpio that a contlnscncy should have
aui-en Involving the existence of an
opinion abroad that foreign interfer
ence with Amoilcnn policy nnd action
would bo tolerated under any circum
stances, if this Is tho fruit of our
pi aee-at-nny-prlec "statesmanship"
better instant and relentless war.
Speaking of Senators Hannn and For.
nker, at tills writing there can bo no
doubt as to whloh represents the popu
lar will.
In Agreement at List.
The largo ndo which the peaee-at-tmy-prlco
element mado over tho pet-vl-int
outburst of Attorney Rubens of
the Cuban Junta never deceived any
leal friend of Cuba. Mr. Itubons spokd
Indiscreetly and on false information,
but later developments havo gono to
show that the premise on which he.
basil his manlfeito was not wholly
evolved from his own Inner conseious-ii-ss.
Tlio meag;e of tho president of
tl.e United States shows that no de.
mind for Cuban Independence has ever
been mada by him upon Spain and that,
tli'iefoie, Mr. Itubens had at least color
fir bin suspicion that tho president
contemplated an ultimate compromise
vlth Spain. This suspicion vnn widely
prevalent nt Washington at the time.
The HttlMuif of thfr pacp-al-Hny-prlce
taction lent plausibility to It.
The Cuban patriots, havlnif sworn
rii-ver to yield o utay proposition of
coinproii'lf-p or conprsMlon (Um short

ThK likewise, will be satisfactory to
th American people, but it must be
begun (Uiekly. The people ate tired of
delay.
There Is unquestionably a growing
feeling In the United States against
ftnther troubling the Vatican to help
to settle the United States' nccount
with Spain. Wo ought to be nblo to
attend to that llUe detail without
Invoking any outside assistance.
The Consular Reports.
The Tribune desires to acknowledge
the receipt, through the courtesy of
Senator Quay, of a pilnted copy of the
consular reports showing tho present
conditions, political, military ami econ
omic, In Cuba. Perusal of tho com
plete correspondence vastly strengthens
the horrifying Impression ptodiued by
the reoi'iit publication of the Associat
ed Pres' synopsis The showing is that
of litter anarchy within the limits of
Spanish so-called control anarchy ac
companied on the part of the Spanish
authoilties nnd subordinate military
oltlclnls by a llendlshness it is believed
without pa'tallel In history. These le
ports, when read consecutively, go be
yond anything which has yet been pub
lished broadcast in their demonstration
of the litter incapacity of Spain to ad
minister in a colonial connection n
"stable" government founded on icc
ognlllon of Christian piinclples. The
Apache Indians at tho summit of their
hilllslin-ss on the Western plains were
models of humnnltaiianlsm and decor
um lis comparison with the rule of
t'.pain in Cuba.
Heading of these repoits will convince
any fnlf-mlnib'il man that there has
nor been a moment during the exist
ence of the present Insurrection In
Culm when diplomacy offered the
llpbl'St hope of providing a satisfac
tory termination ol the struggle. The
conviction Is forced that the time spent
by our government In its friendly ap
peals to Spain's ueiiM of Justice and
honor has been time worse than wast
ed; It has been time lost, while In
the loMng hundreds of thousands of
old men nnd helpless women and chll
dien have been wantonly done to deatli
butchered In cold blood by a
slow and 1 mining dlablery com
pared .ith which the innssatiti
of St. Uattholomew was human"
In Its swiftness. To suppose that
the nation which has consummated this
unexampled crime could be Induced by
any means shoit of armed and Impetu
ous Intel ventlon to abate Its cruelty
may have been nn excusable mistake at
tin beginning, but to potsist In that
supposition as our government did, in
the face of the evidence supplied bi
lls own consular officials, was a policy
inexplicable.
There wiib'nniple Justification for nn
ultiinntum to Spain one year ago. The
bmnanliv of the American people has
been Indelibly stained by the tardiness
with which tile American government
has nppioached its duly in this matter.
If any under of these lines doubts
this, let him send for a copy of the con
Milai roupris.
The twpe and the powers are at llb
eity to do with Spain what they like,
but n for Uncle Sam he is golns tight
on.
A Debt of Honor.
Wilting for tho Cosmopoiis, n liritlsh
magazine. Henry Noiman, c.ie of tlio
ablest living Ungllsh journalists, says:
"Two thing would biliiT about an An.
glo-Amerlcan alliance instnritlv. If a
combination of European p'jweis should
be formed to citifh the United States
and after tho olllelal utterances of the
foulgn milliliter. of iiermeny and Aim
tri? this is nottwnolly nn extravagant
supposition they would have to ciush
the. Hrltlsh lleet as well. That this is
the view of those at present responsi
ble for lirltish policy, I KNOW. As I
havo said clFewhere, wo should never
siund idly by and veo a hundred mil
lions of people who speak Ungllsh
trampled on by people" who spe ilc I;us
clan or French or German. And wo
cherish, not as thoso who have uo hope,
the conviction that If the peoplo who
speak Itusslrn ond Fiench and German
laid aside for tho moment their deadly
rivalries to Join In crushing us, beside
the flng of the three crosses theto would
ha found on u seas u certain (lag of
'stripes, as well ns stats.' "
Kvonts ccttalnly are fast giving sub-
stauco to tills prophecy. When the
ambassadors at Washington of France
and Austria undertook recently to unite
the six great Uuiopean powers in n
collectlvo protest against the purposed
intei ventlon -of the United States in
Cuba, they went together to the Pritlsh
embufesy and besought tho co-operation
of the I'nglisli ambusfcadcr, Sir Julian
Pnuncefote. Tho note which they had
drafted for presentation to President
McKlnley was sharp and peremptory.
Sir Julian read it nnd replied! "I will
Join In no note which does not first
'havo tho cotdlul consent of the Ameri
can president." Then he drafted the
noto which was later ptosinted, took It
In person tit Judge Day, received from
him an assurance that Its presentation
would bo acceptable to tho United
States, and It Is suspected hud not a
little to do with suggesting tho charac

A SONG FOR CUBA.
The Nations of Europe, allglrJcJ In greeJ,
Behold thee, O Cuba I and hceJ not thy cries;
Had they hearts thou had long since been happily freed;
Thouhadst liberty lone since if they had but eyes.
They call themselves Christian, yet prey on the weak;
They fawn on the Turk and they tolerate Spain;
They worship the stroni:, and they scoff at the meek,
They are worse than the vultures that feed on the slain.
But Cuba, the dawn of thy freedom Is near,
Already its sunburst Is '.eon in tlio Hast;
The heart of the tyrant Is uuaklng with fear.
And the vulture In terror forsakes his grim feast.
The eagles of war are abroad In their might,
The rush of their wings drowns the roar of the seas;
They are seeking thy foe; he will soon be in flight,
For the star-spangled banner Is Hung to tho breeze.
We have kindled our crucibles white with the steel
That shall free thee; our forges arc red as thy wrongs I
They are shaping new weapons of war for thy weal,
Whilst for thee our great furnaces sing Freedom's songs.
O l Thank God I for the manhood that speaks In this hour;
For the hearts that respond to thy pitiful story;
For the spirit, O Cuba I that fears not the pow'r
Of thy foe; and thank God for our banner, Old Glory t
From the Scranton Truth.

There will be those who will assert
that Kngland, In this course, had an
ne to grind. Suppose she had. That
would not be to her discredit provided
the axe itself were creditable and
Kngland knows enough about the Unit
ed States to rcall7.e that she could not
grind a discreditable ono on a Yankee
grindstone. Reciprocity when honor
able is perfectly legitimate. It is tho
basis of most of the activities of life.
There Is :io reason why In an interna
tional sense it should be restricted to
tariffs alone. In tho emergency which
our government has been called upon
to fate in Its relations with Spain con
cerning Cuba the fact stands out in un
mistakable prominence that Croat
Britain, axe or no axe, has assumed to
ward the United States, without solici
tation and without offence, the altitude
of a moral ally. This has been done In
a manner which appeals to our respect,
our admiration and our gratitude. It
has been a characteristic Anglo-Saxon
move, precisely such as we should have
made had the conditions been reversed.
It need not incite us to sickly slobber
inc, or unmanly demonstration, but in
the name of fairness ar.d of kinship It
must be recognized unaffectedly and,
when opportunity offcts, repaid Ir kind.
It is a debt of honor.
Colonel Stone having withdrawn fiom
tin orntoiical duel, Mr. Wan.nnaker
ought now to have comparatively little
ditliculty in winning a verbal victory.
Anyhow, the colonel ought to be con
tent with the delegates.
If the Spanish queen-regent thinks
the prestige of the Spanish army will
not be tarnished by war it must be
because she realizes that that army's
record in Cuba has exhausted the tar
nish possibilities.
Of the strong men in congress none
shows up stronger and braver tlmn the
stalwart chairman of the senate com
mittee on foreign relations, Hon. Cush
mnn K. Uals, of Minnesota. All
honor to him!
In the present high state of the war
tension, that proposed naval demon
stration on the part of tho powers
would have no more rrfect in scaring
us than the passage o' a lleot of Urie
canal boats.
Next to the Stars and Stripes the
Hrltish Hag seems to be the most pop
ular piece of cloth on this side of the
Atlantic Just at present, and it de
serves to be.

that bus ever been presented for
the consideration ot congress, it pio
vldcs a plan which empowers the pi oil

apportioned according to the nrins-be.it

so organized shall then become exclu-
tlvoly United States troop. In time of
peace the proposed military oignnizatloii
will bo subject to the oiders and control
of the governors of tho respecthi- stutcs,
the same .13 ut present.
Tho bill Is tlio outcome of the finally
adniittnd loot that under existing condi
tions tho organized state troops e.mnot bo
called into tho active service of the I lilted
States by tlio president, tie has no con
trol whatever ovei them In their oigau
Izod capacity. Under the piovlslons of
this bill, if can led out in its full purpose,
there would always cNlst an organize I.
equipped rod at leriiot partially dllllcd re
serve of uOo.vut' m"ii who could be callel
out by the pusldent at once la an emer
gency. This would moan a "state militia '
that could be instantly utilized. Men who
enlisted would do so knowing that thev
were liable at any nnd all times to be
called into active service, either of the
state or nation, during the period of
their enlistment. The national go em
inent could then feel that It was not lim
ited to tho small regular army, but that
It had a reliable reserve of a.i).(ri0 men t
fall back upon for reinforcements.
o
Mr. Council's bill has every appear
ance of having boon evolved by some one
familiar with military affairs, and who
has given tlio subject of effective slate
military organization n good deal of at
tention. Tho plan suggested by Mr. Cou
ncil's bill appears to bo not only feasible
but In every way practicable. If there
existed such an organized reserve forco
in tho states It would serve to glvo the
United States a military status In the
eyes of the world such as wo have never
had, and would be as conducive to the
maintenance of poaco as is a powortul
navy. To all Intents and purposes it
would give us all the prestige of a stand
lug army of SOO.OOO men without any of
tho objectionable features of mch a mili
tary establishment as Is maintained In
Kuropcan countries.
