THE WASHINGTON. THURSDAY... .......February 13, 1896. THE EVENING STAR, CROSBY S. NOYES... . Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising -Medium it has no competitor. [Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, necording to tenor or purpose. — No Appropriation Now Required. Should Congress desire to authorize a re- sumption of the work on the Aqueduct tun- nel, which was reported recently as feast- ble and advisable by competent engineers, it will probably be unnecessary to appro- priate a single dollar for the current fiscal or calendar year. Taere now remains of ‘former appropriations an unexpended bal- ance amounting to $265,746, or more than enough to pay for the miscellanéous appur- tenances of the work, such as pumps, sbafts, gate houses, machinery and con- nections, estimated by the board of experts to cogt $220, Or this sum would amply suffice to inaugurate the principal work cf Hning the tunnel and repairing the holes left in the old lining by the contractors. The total cost of the work yet to be done was fixed by the engineers at $S07,3! priated te complete the project or OL. Thus, very arly on total sum necessary is now in hand, un- available for this purpose, to be sure, with- out congressional direction, but yet not an available asset of the Treasury guntil its character as an unexpended balance of a continuing, not an annual, appropriation is destroyed by act of Congress. In other words, this money cannot be turned into the general furd and its identity as an ap- Fropriation destroyed until the project of extending the water supply of the capital is definitely abandoned by the houses. But as the case now stands, it is an officially acknowledged fact that the present water supply is imadequate, afid even when tne increase caused by a raise in the height of the dam is realized the suppiy will not be sufficient after a few years, provided the city increases in population at the present rate. The main question, therefore, is not whether the supply should be increased, but how this should be done, whether by continuing the pending project cr by in- stituting a new Thus the money now resting in the Treasury, aggregating over a quarter of a million, ts awaiting application, pending the decision by Congress as to the best means of increasing the supply. That question has now been practically settled by the report of the Secretary of War, and it oniy remains for Congress to embody its finding in the form of a bill, which will authorize the re-commencement of the in- terrupted work and make immediately available the money now remaining from the former appropriations. a The Eternal Capital. The Star had ro doubt that the Senate would strike the unjust Blancaard amend- ment from the memorial bridge bill when that measure came up for final considera- fon, and therefore the action of yesterday, while gratifying, was not surprising. It would have been a marvel if the upper house had taken any other course upon the absurd proposition to force the District to pay one-half of the cost of a national monument, merely because it is to take the form of a bridge. The vote on the amend- ment, 8 to 54, was probably a good test of the sentiment of the Senate on the gen- eral relations between the District and the government. Senator Vest sized the situa- tion up to a nfeety when he deprecuted the idea advanced by Mr. Blanchard that the action of Congress with res to the Zoological and Rock Creek parks formed & precedent for present guidance. As Mr. Vest truly said yesterday, the division of the cost of those reservations was extreme- ly doubtful legisistion, and he denied that there is any groundion which they can be regarded as municipal establishmen‘s, sub- ject to local support. Would that every ect legisla*or possessed Mr. Vest's clear views and equitable prin- He ciples regarding the nation’s capital. bas always fought staunchly tenance of the present relationshi the nation and its seat of government, and his platform was clearly ex! sed yoster- day in the following paragrap?: “This city will always remain ‘he capital of this country. That goes without saying. There are priceless tracditions arid memories connected with the establishm:at of the national capital here, which will always retain the seat of government. The great city in my own state some ‘3 2KO Was presented as claimant for the capital of the Union, but the proposition was never seriously entertained, even among the cit- izens of St. Louis. I believe that on a pep- ular vote today the city of Washington would be overwhelmingly and most mmani- mously declared to be the eteraal capital of what I hope is to be an eternal govern- ment. It is useless to discuss that propo- sition, and therefore when any question of th:s sort comes before us it ought to be con- sidered with reference to the perpetuity of the capital of the United States." ———_-- + e > ___ It will be impolitic for the gas company to demonstrate too convincingly that it cannot possibly supply good gas for less than $1.10, for the effect may be to drive the community in desperation to experiment w body else who can. ————— +++ ___ th some- There are one or two vanquished poli- ticlans who are of the opinion that Satan Will meet the most formidable mortal ad- versary he has yet encountered when Mra.

Marin on Military Honor. General Marin, the acting captain-gen- eral of Cuba, in a recent interview plainly stated his reasons why, in his opinion, the insurgents can not be recognized as belligerents or as an organized army. He says the first consideration of an organ- ized army is honor, and “the insurgents think it no dishonor to flee from an enemy to avoid an encounter.” His reasoning along this line is peculiar. He says: “A regular military body would think it @ dishonor to attack detenseless soldiers, whereas the insurgents think nothing of it. They do not hesitate tu force men into their ranks during their passage through the ccuntry, which results in the impressed men becoming targets for the Spanish army. If the Spanish had had more cavalry the insurgents would have adopted other means of warfare. Their great force lies in a policy of deviating from all lines of warfare. In other words, war with them is mere anarchy. If we had had plenty of cavalry they would have resorted to ambuscades and _ surprises. ‘They would have waited for the cavalry to come up and then destroyed them. ‘Whenever we have an encounter there is never any doubt of the Spanish defeating the Insurgents, four to one. The insur- gents run away. That is their strength.” General Marin deserves the sympathy of the Christian nations. To be com- pelled to face and chase a foe that has the sagacity to avold an encounter with an overwhelming force is indeed a hardship. It is no marvel that he complains so bit- terly of the lack of regularity in the Cuban “THE EVENING STAR; THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1896-TWELVE PAGES, : tactics, but He can scarcely convince Amer-. icans that these tactics are novel or un- usual, for it is one of the plainest facts of history that, among the 's greatest generals and strategists fas Quintus. Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, who \baffied the great Hannibal in the second Punic war by his famous manoeuvers, that have come to be known as ‘Fabiqn tactics.” According to one authority “Fabius tan- talized the enemy by the favorite devices of guerilla warfare; he harassed them by marches and countermarches, and cut off their stragglers and foragers, and at the same time his delay allowed Rome to as- semble her ferces in greater strengt! No more accurate description of Gomez’ campaign could be had. It is very im- proper, to be sure, for the Cubansto keep the fight running until the hot weather in- tervenes, for that brings fever to the Spanish troops and thus helps Cuba. That is very dishonorable. It is equaily wrong to use ambuscades, or “to wait for the cavalry to come up and then destroy them.’ It would be much more proper to be polite and run the campaign to suit the convenience of General Marin and his colleagues. For instance, if the Spaniards feel particularly belligerent some morning the Cubans ought to accommodate them with a fight, whatever the numbers; or if General Marin should chance to have a headache the men under Gomez ouwsht to withdraw into the cane-tields and content themselves with chewing sugar stalks. Marin would have Spain recognize the belligerency of the Cubans if the latter would cease to be effectively belligerent. During the recent war between China and Japan the Chinese were continually com- plaining that the Japs did not fight fatr, for they persisted in swooping down upon them when they were holding certain great re- ligious feasts. Marin and Li Hung Chang ought to hold a conference. see The News From the North Pole. In June, 1888, a plucky Norwegian named Nansen sailed northward into the frozen seas surrounding the north pole, seeking to reach that elusive locality. He had a novel plan for this hazardous enterprise, and the general opinion was that he would never again be heard from alive. He had built a ship of peculiar shape, with a round hull, and specially framed to resist ice pressure. Whereas other Arctic explorers had always sought to avoid ‘being captured by the Ice, Nansen aimed to thrust his ship Into the very heart of the floe, and then to drift with the solid sea on a route that he had map- ped out carefully in accordance with a theory as daring as it was novel. He had made observations to the effect that the general drift of the Arctie currents was in such a direction that, starting from north- ern Norway and anchoring himself in the ice, he would be carried to or near the north- ern end of the earth’s axis. It might take months, years or centuries to make the trip. Nansen took the longest chances of any Arctic explorer whose achievements are of record, and whether his expedition suc- ceeded or failed, whether his theory was demonstrated or disproved, he deserved credit as embarking on one of the most periious of enterprises, with the chances all opposed to him. Since that June day until this morning there has been almost perfect silence with regard to Narsen. The frozen north has held him close, and no tidings have come from him except of a fragmentary and unsatisfactory character. Today is flashed from Siberia a dispatch stating that a trader who is Nansen’s agent has received information to the effect that the intrepid explorer has reached the north pole, finding land there, and is return- ing towards civilization. There are no de- tails to explain how Nansen sent the mes- Sage over the miles of Ice in midwinter to his agent. He may have despatched a party in advance of himself, or perhaps he has reached a settlement, and has thus found means of communication with those who have been anxiotsly awaiting tidings from him ‘for many months. It seems almost in- credible that Nansen has really achieved the end for which so many brave men have struggled, suffered and died, though it was hardly to be doubted that in time the world’s progress in invention and discovery would make it possible for man to solve this and many another of the great mysteries of the earth. It is the extreme difficulty of the tesk that Nansen set for himself, together with the long record of failures and false alarms, that tends now to raise a doubt as to whether this report from Siberia is really true. Corroborative intelligence will be heartily welcomed by the whole world. ———_~+-+____ The fond Washington mother has found a new simile for her developing youngster.
