THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 1896.

A friend of mine addressed Messrs. L. Appleton & Co.. publishers of the cyclopedia, inquiring as to the authority of the book quoted by Senator Morgan. In reply to his inquiry. Mr. Ilosister Johnson, associated editor of the American Cyclopedia, says that the article was written by Mr. Antonio Bachlller y Morales, a Cuban who was a decided and partial enemy, of Spain, and that he "presumes that It will be easy to get access to the official reports in the Department of estate at Washington. I have accepted the advice and in the State Department the folio wirg answer has been given me: The Minister of the United States to Spa'n, on the date of Aug". 16, 1S72, quotes from the Impartial, described as a semi-official Journal of Madrid, of which the Colonial Minister was the director until he entered the present Cabinet, the following: "From the beginning of hostilities in Cuba, 13.G0Q insurgents have beec killM In battle, and 43.5X taken prisoners." The minister adds, 'as It Is believed that all prisoners of war taken are shot or garroted. ' "It Is plain that the American minister, who was General Sickles, read the statement in a paper. The paper (El Imparcial) was owned by a Cabinet Minister (Senor Gaeet y Artlrae.) General Sickles said in a general way, that It was believed that the prisoners were all shot or garroted. Of course, that is not true; that simply Is a belief, an opinion from the expression of a belief; an official report is made from the statement In a "newspaper that the prisoners "were taken, the consequence that they were executed Is derived, and because the Imparcial was the property of a Minister of the Cabinet, the assertion Is advanced that -a Cabinet officer admitted that they had been rut to death. That has been said in the United States Senate and indorsed by a vote of that hl,?h body. "Senator Cabot Lodsre, In a speoh made on the 25th of February, quoted from the Liberal, of Madrid, an interview sent by telescram from Cadiz at the moment in which General Weyler embarked for Cuba. The translation, which has been given to :he Senator from Massachusetts 13 a fraud. My attention was called to It by a telegram from Mr. Taltavull, correspondent In the United States of the Liberal, from' Madrid, and a former member cf the Cortes. Thi3 distinguished gentleman wired to me: 'General Weyler never said in anv interview or conversation published in the Liberal, that he would exterminate the filibusters. What he said was that he would .clean out . the western provinces cf Cuba of filibuster, and that he would exterminate the small bands of bandits.' 1 have now before' me Ihe text of the interview, but I will not stop to discuss the historical Importance of a nonaiiihorlzcd In-tervi-'v. But. even taken as granted that Gcnm! Weyler said' what 'is printed, the H'r-ri. that tn ' person who has furnished documents to Senator ' Cabot Lod?e have made him pronounce arc not exact. "Th. exact translation of what General Weyler said- 'On my arrival in Cuba I vrof.-c-, in the first place, to clean out of tiliKinen the provinces of Havana, Plnar Jcj Ilio. Matanzas and Las Villas. He itwell urxerstood that I rfer for the moment to the large bands which Invaded them. Then .'ll remain the small bands of ban-, dits. ' which I will exterminate gradually "N 'j-xly can believe that General Weyler' In the word 'exterminate' meant to put to death; hut evtr. if that sense Is applied to this wcrd. it is necessary to understand what t'lose 'bands of bandits' in Cuba are and have been. I would like to know tho opinion that tho American planters, resectable, law-ablaing citizens, who are working for their own interests and for the prosperity cf Cuba, have in tha: respect: what would be done in this country with the people who have been kidnaping and blackmailing the honest toilers living out in that country, what treatment do you think tthey unserve, people like Manuel Garcia, Mirabal, Maiagas, Perico Delsado and others? The paper to which I refer 13 at the disposition of the Senator from Ma-sjachusetts and of

anybody who wants to see it. ' "I cannot understand how all rules of war that have b'jen Riven by all civilized nations are so criminal, so cruel and so tyrannical when they are applied to Cuba. I have before my eyes a summary of charges of inhumanity in connection with the war of the rebellion In the United States on both sides, taken from American history.' I am sure that many of them are false; most of them exaggerated, some necessary and others unavoidable. Hut, taking only as an illustration and for the sake of argument , what I eee in that li3t I cannot understand how people who are familiar with those necessary evils of war have been able to use such harsh, unjust and offensive language against ipaln. In an English paper of those days, I read the following opinion of the American civil war: 'Stripped of its trappings. It 13 a mere quarrel for territory; the antagonists are acting like Delawares and Pawnees. War to the knife, pushed to absolute extermination, is wliat they have resolved on, and the people breathe a language of massacre and extermination.' This charge was no more justified than the charges which are brought now against Spain. : "I said nothing when that language was used in the press; but I believe it is my duty, although aaln3; the conventionalities of my position, to appeal, as I have said, to the honest common rense of the American people when those wcrds are uttered from the Capitol of the United States. "Nothing is npw done in Cuba that has rot been done, and has not been deemed necessary, in other countries when at war. It would be possible and easy for me to quote n?any facts not different from those .which now arouse public sentiment against Spain. I will only ask persons wanting an Impartial and honest opinion to read what the commander in chiefs of the American armies of both sides and what the armies of France and Germany have deemed necessary for the protection of their soldiers and the carrying on cf the war." A Rerninn Paper Scold Us. (Copyright, 1S5C, by the Associated Press.) - BERLIN. March 7. The Lokal Anzeiger, discussing the Spanish-American affair, eays: "It is the irony of modern history that a the present moment war chauvinism nowhere flourishes a3 in the United States, the land of the militia system and countless peace societies. Europe will know hereafter what to think of those hollow pseudo-humanitarian phrases which Americans are forever shouting so long as the d'.sputes do not touch their own interests. When these are touched the peace-loving Republic be'tvaves more impudently and unjustly than any modern autocracy. The most laughable feature is that it is President Cleveland; the leader of the party styling itself 'the apostle of peace, who fanned American chauvinism. tpnln Tlireut of rrlvnteers. ' LONDON, March 7. The attention of the First Lord of the Treasury. Mr. A. J. Ealfour. will be called next week by Mr. T. J. Howies, member of Parliament for Kings Lynn. Conservative, to the statements in the Spanish press that in the event cf war between Spain and the United States Spanish privateers will prey on American commerce. Mr. Bowles will ask whether, in view of the complications and injuries which British trade would suffer In such event, or in the caso of war between Great Britain and a country which had not acceded to the declaration of Paris, the government would consider the whole effect of the declaration of laris and the advisability of Great Britain's withdrawing therefrom.

Mitchell, candidate for Joint Senator, while the Sun charges the candidate for treasurer with being a can didate nine consecutive times and nominated twice and beaten by the Republicans once hi that time. The old-time Democratic majority was from six hundred to eight hundred. Xow the Republicans have clerk, auditor, treasurer and Representative.

Said to Resemble in Some Respects Her Fn incus Grandmother. London Truth. Dumas fils wittily spoke of the marriage of M. Maurice Bernhardt and his Polish princess as the union de la Grande Boheme et de la Petite Polopne. La Petite Pologne was thirty years ago to Paris what Tyburn was a hundred years ago to London. But its union has had happier consequences than could have been expected. M. Maurice Bernhardt has settled down; his wife has kept her fortune ami Is domestic, and Mile. Simone. their daughter, promises to be a wondrous being. If there is anything in heredity, she would astonish and delight the world if she came forward in the sphere In which her grandmother shrnes.

Fevr Rich Women Are Extravagant London Graphic. Apropos of Max Lebaudys career, one notes how rarely women millionaires, except, perhaps, the Empress Catherine of Russia, have lavished their money In excesses or foolish extravagance They have endowed charities, provided hospitals, or dispensed wisely to the needy and destitute. Their entertainments and pleasures, though sumptuous, have never erred on the side of eccentricity or criminal waste, and it would really seem as though carefulness were quality inherent in women. When thy are extravagant they are usually poor, and only ruin their husbands or fathers. Such magnificent extravagance, for Instance, as Prince .Esterhazy's is utterly unknown among women. This Hungarian magna t a possessed thirty-three carriages of state. When he obtained tho command of a regiment he ordered all the soldiers and officers, to furnish him with a list of their debts, and he paid them all. Nothing was too dear for. him "horses, picture, works of art, play in all he sought for the best, and wished to excel. He never succeeded ia completely ruining his family, but he naturally impoverished them immensely. Compared with him and hi princely fashions, poor Max Lebaudy's follies sink into comparative insignificance. SBSBBBBBSBBSBSBBSSBSBSBBBBBBBSBBBSBBBBJSSBBBBBBBSSBSBBSBSBBI Aid Seeded for Armenians.
