War in Cuba

By Editor

According to latest press despatches a state of war does seem to exist in Cuba, whether recognized by Spain or any other country. It was evidently recognized by the people of doomd Pinar del Rio, a city of Cuba about one hundred miles southwest of Havana, near the southern coast, the garrison of which, consisting of 4,000 Spanish soldiers, was utterly routed by the insurgents, under General Maceo. Little do we realize the blessings of peace, and yet it helps one to appreciate its advantages when we think of poor, desolated Cuba, Madagascar, and other war-burdened and war-blasted countries. It is only in Christ, however, and ultimately in his kingdom, that we shall delight ourselves in the "abundance of peace."
