The change in tlie situation in Cuba
in the past two weeks is slight. The
atrocities of Wcyler may be somewhat
bolder and more revolting, owing, per-
baps to the apparent indifference of
neighboring powers. Il may not be
politic, but it would certainly be just
and humane for some, less barbaric na¬
tion to demand and enforce an end to
Spain’s inhuman butchery on the is¬
land, or else declare civilization a
farce and cease of all pretentions of
Christianity,

Company gave a very good minstrel
