Three years and more have elaps ed since the present Cuban rebellion broke out. It is probable that in history past or to come no parallel to its conditions will beufouud. The rulers of the island, unable to defeat the insurgents are themselves un defeated; nd the insurgents, elusive and triumphant and enduring beyond usual measure in guerilla warfare are no nearer the actual accomplish niont of their purpose than they were at the outbreak of hostilities. Na ture and her gliastly liand-niaiduu, Pestilence, have fought for the in surgents; but Nat lire's battling4 have been balanced by new arrivals of Spanish soldiers men, someof them; boy9, many of them forced almost at bayonet THiut to take the places of the diseased and dead. Against the doggedness of the insurgent the pride of the ruler has been matched. The insurgent can hold out in definitely; the Spaniard will. While the stul1xrn warfare of these unyielding forces lias proceed ed with fluctuating results that in the long run have practically bal anced each other, a third army of j human beings has been slowly ground to destruction. Of their woes we must think and, having thought, we must act. Though the Spaniards have been chiefly confin ed within the limits set up them selves; prisoners, in fact, within their own fortifications, yet they have retained a fear-compelled power over the feeble minds of the children nnd the timorous natives of both sexes who were afraid to fight and did not dare to flee. These pacificos quietly obeyed the govern ment when orders went forth through the country regions to gather with in town limits and stay there. The exM.vtcd freedom to live in peace under the surveillance of the Span ish army, changed at once intodcatli dealing londage, Unable to culti vate land to any great extent, herded together in huts unfit for swine, sutlering from lack of food, and by lack ot food, rendered more help less and weak-spirited than k-fore, they have died like flies in autumn; and in dying have suffered woes that arc unequalled even by the bloody sufferings of the Americans or the plague-ridden starvation of .1 v t rati i i tiitt iiinuoos. . llie lauimuirc ot aJ moderate woman like Clara Ilarton, the famous lied-Cross heroine; and the stories pictured by the truthful camera, more than justify these Comparisons. In one hospital alone a place where cure and tender I oversight are expected four hun-1 dred of the pacificos have died of'i starvation. The buidciisof the in- surgents, who, in rebelling did so j in full expectation of the fortunes ami misfortunes of war, have Ih-cii j as nought beside the woes of these; unhappy non-combatants. Where j Spain has slain its hundreds by lircj and by sword, it has slain itslliw-j DitKD ok Thousands by hunger! and by neglect. This has taken j place and is still doing so within 1 ninety miles of the land that de- clans in favor of "life, liU-rly and the pursuit of happiness." This war-measure of Spain a gainst harmless ones will ever stand out prominently in the annals of the orutauties ot wnicli our race is ca pable. This is not War with its glamour of excitement and of chance but relentless MunDER without the shedding of blood. When a man sees a waek one ier- secuted and refuses to side with the weak he is no man. The rule for a man is the rule for a nation. Mur der of women and children, helpless and enfeebled and star vine, is at our doors, at last wo begin to ap preciate it. Their broken lives, their untimely deaths, their rights to a happier condition are making themselves slowly understood among our people. Every stratum of so ciety is permeated. The great un derlying love of fair-play is stirring this nation North and South. And it is girding itself TO PUNISH and not to avenge war'. ' Let us be careful that our motives are pure and our minds unconfused. The wild talk of a blundering official like DeLome is nothing to our great conservative millions. War or even the thought of war over such a matter is unworthy our con templation: It would be an absolute reversion to the barbarb irascibility of olden - time?.,. We have grown awajf fVom such things. -v ( The selfish motives of tobacco factors and sugar gamblers in point ing out to a great, fair-minded country a chance to filch from Spain, because she is weak, that which is hers as truly as New England is ours, has moved us only to condemn aud not to approve. We refuse to add to our racial problems at the nod of self-seeking men. The heart of the nation is uimsponsiveto such temptation, and furthermore even the terrible Maine di taster, with its sorrow aud its loss has grandly shown to the world that we are slow to anger and plenteous in conserva tism. Despite - all jjuesses to the contrary, our people have refused to believe that the Spanish govern ment could be suicidal enough to have dinct connection with the dis aster. We lielieve that she would foresee more damage to herself than to us in this sudden and horrible event. If this were all that hud happened, an indemnity would Ihj .sufficient; aud a war Ihj quite con trary to international precedents. Ihit while this nation, set hi might to lead the Western hemisphere, can stand insults to its vast self it cannot permit inhumanity to its weak neighUirs. It will enter into conflict with Spain not because cer tain of victory, but because Spain slaughters the inihxt'nt. This na tion believes in the glories ot peace, but it must be "peace with honor" and not with dishonor that assured ly comes from silence in the pres ence of brutal abuses. By its own past, it knows full well the horrid cost of war, yet its great, true, heroic heart beats high to declare that it is liettcr to die in protecting the defenceless than to live in false hood to its own grand past. Its conscience is aroused. Its arm is lared to smite and that swiftly, lest there Ihj none of the starving left to save. With such a pure motive, its actions will have the cordial good will of KuroMan nations. Short, decisive work will 1k made of the solemn task, and when the smoke has cleared justice will have Imtii done to the unjust, and "Cuba Libre" may then develop in quiet its own individuality.

Preparations are being made for -'the entertainment of at least five thousand visitors. A gen eral committee with Rev. Dr. Geo. 13.
