Falstaff in Havana. The Sparish news from Cuba again Shapes itself to the emérgency. During General Weyler’s day, whenever the de- bates in Congress here would take on a vigorous anti-Spanish tone, the cable from Havana would bring particulars of the most substantial and assuring Spanish triumphs in the field. With the ald of a writing pad and a few clicks of the tele- graph key in his palace, General Weyler, purely for American consumption, would put insurgent columns to rout in every @irection. Provinces were pacified while enc waited. The thing was a marvel in its ‘way. Again, the marvel. The debates in Con- gress are now warm for Cuba, and Spanish triumphs are coming hot and thick over the wires. General Blanco—with sugges- ticns probably from this end—copies the Weylerian trick. He is performing won- ders in the isiand. Autonomy is succeed- ing, and the insurgents are being scattered to the four winds. Presently there will not be left a single rascal of the whole lawless band with a weapon ip his hand. Consider the cause of Cuba in Congress now? Why, it is too late! The jig is up with Cuba. It was only the other day that the ques- tion was asked in derision, “Who is the President of Cuba?” The insinuation was that there was “no sich person.” The individual exploited under that sounding title was a Cuban relative of “Mrs. Har- tis.” The next day the myth materialized. The Spanish themselves had discovered the president of Cuba. They had made terms ©f peace with his own brother. They were estabiished now right in the family. The President himself would soon follow. It was all a lie. No brother of the president of Cuba had surrendered. But the lie lived and did service for about twelve hours. “Where is the capital of Cuba?” was @nother question which, put with a frown and in a severe tone of voice, was designed to floor any foolish person daring to utter a word for Cuba. The insjnuation was that no such place existed. The bandits had no capital, unless such a title might be be- stowed on General Gomez's saddle bags. The ruffians carried their capital about with them. It was here today and there tcmorrew. Now the Spaniards boast that they have found the capital of Cuba and have sacked it. There actually was such a place and it was a town. The saddle bags of General Gomez have been stripped of their honor. The capture of the place required desperate fighting, but the Span- jards, as usual, proved equal to the emer- gency. They massed and carried formida- ble works. The insurgents were simply cleaned out. A call in the name of king and country, glorious charge, and the he- roic business was accomplished. And so it goes. It is a simple sum in Proportion. Given the temper of the Cu- ban debate in Congress and your Spanish news from Havana may easily be deter- mined. Those Spanish officials in Cuba may net be much as fighters, but they are superb as fakirs. They are really out of their element with swords at their side. They ought to start @ sensational news- Paper and call it “Falstaff’s Daily Ga- zette.” They must all have heard of Sir John. ————_~-+e—___ Judge McComas Gaining. ‘The record cf the voting at Annapolis Points to the probability of the election of. Judge McComas as Senator. From the start his strergth has increased. Originally the fevorite of a majority of the republican memrbers of the legislature, he has received recruits from Gay to day since the balloting began and today two votes formerly cast for Shaw, his most formidable republican opponent, were cast for him. The logic of this proceedirg is plain and should not be mistaken by the legislators at Annapolis. Judge McComas is admirably qualified for the pest to which he aspires, he is ardently @ friend of Maryland's best interests and his relations with the administration In this city are such as to insure him a large amount of influence during that portion of the term in the Senate to which he seems likely to be elected that corresponds with the remainder of the term of President McKinley. These matters will doubtless have a material effect in attracting other votes to bim and next week ought to ve marked by his election. “+s Charitable institutions should be careful about affronting Hetty Green, if she ap- plies for gratuitous medical attention.

Ressia and England are very near the breaking point in the dispute over the Chinese territory. The British stock mar- ket is weak, the war feeling having affected values materially and there is a decided degree of apprehension in official circles according to the cables, while “inspired” Rewspaper utterances proclaim the deter- Mination of the government to stand firm in resistance to the encreachments of the Russian international syndicate. China oves Japan a large sum, the war indem- nity. She is trying to float a loan in Lon- on for the purpose of paying the debt. She can expect no help from the continen- tal financiers, who are under governmental influences and it does not now serve the Purpose of the governments to aid China in any manrer. London is the emperor's Scle hope ant he finds encouragement there only on severe conditions. If the loan is to be negotiated China must agree that three ports named shall be kept open per- ™manently as treat, ports, that no portion of the Yang-tse-Kiang valley shall ever be alienated to any other power, and that England shall have the right te extend the Burmah railroad through Yunnan. These conditions are aimed directly at the Rus- ‘sizn and German ambiUons to secure con- trol over the trade and territory of China. Russia has notified the emperor that if he agrees to these conditions he must net look to the czar for further aid and infiuence. Lord Salisbury has served notice that China ‘Must come to these terms or incur the dis- Pleasure of voth England and Japan. Meanwhile Russia has taken possession of Rese Island, in the harbor of Chemulpo, commanding the entrance to the capital of Corea, and is openly defying Engiand to take any step toward a restoration of pres- tige in that country. Unless there is insincerity on the part of one or the other of these opposing powers it is plaim that a breach must come soon between them. Japan is to be counted upon as a material factor in the case. She has n.obilized both her army and her navy and is today on a war footing, with a sufficient force to compel respect for her demands, save against a combination of powers. On the present standing Japan is the most potent of the elements in the case, so far as the forces on the ground ready for im- mediate action are concerned. With this in view it is to be seen that Japan’s in- fluence must be strong with England, both as an encouragement in the dispute and as amenace. While England is managing the diplomatic end of the controversy at pres- ent it is realized in London that Japan will not be likely to tolerate a back-down, which will threaten her interests shaterially. Thus the British government is between two fires, just as is the Chinese govern- ment. It is to be seen that the war talk that is now being heard from the English side is not idle talk, but is significant of a grim realization of the needs of the hour. England has made many displays of force and threatening diplomacy in the recent past, but this time it would seem as though the hour had come for deeds unless that nation is to lose all prestige as a factor in the far east. Dis —++=___. An Unwarranted Slur. The London Times is commenting on the Arrerican legislative system again and with the usual display of British ignorance about the exact situation on this side. In the course of a financial article it says the strength of Spain is remarkable in view of the news from the United States, but it considers that the proceedings of the American Senate are regarded less seri- ously abroad than “in days when the Sen- ate was in the habit of showing a sense of political responsibility.” The ‘“Thun- derer” has evidently failed to note that the Senate has not discussed the Cuban case of late. That body has been at work for several weeks on other questions, not- ably the Hawaiian annexation treaty and purely domestic matters connected with nominations. The House has been the scene of all the Cuban debate that has marked the recent congressional proceed- ings. The Times has. crossed its wires somehow and perhaps it is seeking to in- terject a new meaning into the word “Sen- ate” by making it stand for the entire Congress. In this it will not be success- ful any more than would the American newspapers if ihey sought to have it un- derstood that they meant parliament when- ever they mentioned the House of Lords. It is rather hard on the Senate, incidentally, that it should have to stand sponsor for all the doings or omissions of the lower house. It has sufficient troubles of its own. ——~>+e—____ Eckington and Belt Time Extension. The disposition of the District committees of Congress at present seems to be to give the rew owners of the Eckington and Belt Toads a chance to prove the sincerity ot their intenticns in the matter of equipping those lines with the underground electric system. The bill for that purpose, favor- ably passed by the Senate committee yes- terday, contzins cll needful safeguards that experierce can suggest. Its prompt passage will bring to the point of dis- closure the program of the new corpora- tion, that has succeeded to so much doubt and distrust on the part of the public. It will be highly gratifying if works should Rew succeed to inaction and procrastina- tion. The bill calls for an underground electric system essentially similar to that in use on the Metropolitan lines in this city. That requirement will prevent the introduction of any experimental system, objectionable to the other users of the thoroughfares and containing the possibii- ities of danger. The city is satisfied with the system mentioned, it is considered by Practical railroad men as the best avail- able, and it is highly desirable that when the impending improvements on both these lines and the Capital Traction road are completed the entire city should be fur- nished with traction facilities based on the same principle. —_——_ + +--+ ——___ Justice McKenna. The confirmation by the Senate yester- day of the nomination of Attorney General McKenna to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court was the right thing to do under the circumstances. Justice McKenna is a man of abiity and diseretion. He has acceptably filled many offices of importance and his service on the bench in California gave him the experience and showed his qualifications for satisfactory work in the highest court in the American judicial system. The objections that were raised egainst his confirmation were trifling and unworthy. The President's judgment in se- lection was to be relied upon. The Senate did not allow itself to be influenced by petty considerations and its acquiescence in the President's choice will doubtless be amply justified by Justice McKenna’s course on the bench. Washingtonians are pleased that he will remain a citizen of the capital. They learned to know and to esteem him during his term of Congres- sicnal service and were gratified at his return as a member of the McKinley cabi- net. —_—_+ ++ _____ M.

In some observations the other day to a representative of The Star on the subject of the political situation, General Warner of Ohio, president of the Bimetallic League, sald: “All attempts to repeat the tactics of 1892 and impose on the party another Cleveland as its leader will utterly fail. That an at- tempt will be made to depose Bryan and elevate some man like Cleveland has been anticipated, and the people are on to it. It will not work. The people will stay with Bryan and he with them.” The tactics of 1892, General Warner ought to remember, went with the conditions of that year. The one can no more be re- peated than can the other. So there need be no fear that the democratic party in 1900, or at any future time, will repeat tactics wholly out of date. Sufficient unto the presidential year is the fine work there- of. Mr. Bryan's peril is that he will have to meet in 1900 conditions that will differ somewhat from those of 1896. He may not be chosen leader again, but no man like Mr. Cleveland will stand the remotest chance of the nomination. It is the rule to give an illustrious person- age his due. Mr. Cleveland is entitled to his. The tactics of 1892 which brought about his third nomination for the presi- dency were not difficult for his friends to apply. The democratic party was as anx- fous to return to power as he was to return posed to the free coinage of silver, and Mr. Cleveland knew that nine-tenths of the party favored the free coinage of silver. come the other would yield. Both were’ mistakes: The one was a very obstinate man, and the other a very resolute organ- ization. _A separation was inevitable, acd it came to pass. But no fraud was practiced on either side. it was simply a case of a too great eager- ness to secure power. If the democratic party had not been temporarily blinded to every consideration but that of winning, it would not have accepted Mr. Cleveland as its candidate conditioned upon the hope that if returned to the White House he would repudiate his principles and his word. And, equally so, if Mr. Cleveland had not been blinded to every consideration but that of winning he would not have ac- cepted the leadership of the party condi- tioned upon the hope of being able to in- duce. it to repudiate its principles and its record. It was a marriage of ambition and expediency, and it failed. We are not likely soon, if ever again, to have such another political marriage in this country. In future, let it be hoped, the presidential candidate will in every essen- tial particular be thoroughly representative of the party upon whose platform he stands.. ———+ +e —__ While President Dole is in Washington he can look the field over and decide in what capacity he would prefer to represent annexed Hawaii. —_——~>e2s——___- If there was any “handwriting on the wall” of sinister purport toward Mr. Hanna it was evidently done with fading ink. ——____+-<«—___—.
