The government has been well provided for, and, what is most im- pertant, large sums of money will be avail- able at an early day.

Se ee A Spanish Outery From Venezuela. erican reliance upon the kindly senti- ments of Venezuela In this emergency may be temporarily sesp2nded when the doughty words of El Pregonero, a Venezuelan news- paper, anent the situation, are read. But ft may well be doubted whether El Pregonero is wholly r2presentative of the sentiment in the r vival ic that practically owes its sur- to the good offices of the United States. El Pregonero sagely comments in a recent issue upon the advantages that this country has “in viow” in “seeking to 2s- tablish itself, unaided by any other power, on Cuban territory.” It ts plain to El Preg- onero that the ultimate purpose of Uncle m is to gain possession of all the West ian islands, thus forming a land bound- ary around the Caribbean Sea to convert it, in a political si into a closed sea or in- land lake. Thi » would, of course, be tremendously geous to the ~d States.

Washington does not need or desire the of “sky-serapers.” Ground ‘is piontiful enough within the urban area to permit the planning of all sorts of buildings in safe aud pleasing proportions and there is therefore good reason for the rule that has for some time been in force and that Was well sustained in th decision reached by the Commissioners yesterday in the case pending before them. This rule, which lim- its a building of any description to a heigat equal to the width of the strest on which it fronts, ensures an architectural harmony that ts impossible of attainment in other cities where the demand for ground space far exceeds th> available supply. The re- sult of wide license in this matter is both displeasing to the eye and disquieting to the nerves. The absolute degre> of ultimate safety in the very high buliding has not been sufficiently determined to allay all fears. Modern forces as yet unmeasured are invclved and science has already raised a warning finger to those enterprising cap- italists who seek to extract the limit of profit out of the smalizst space of ground. Aside from such considerations, however, the local reasons for restricting the height of buildings are sufficient. From the lack of necessity on commercial grounds there is no iogical appeal, for ths high buildings that disfigure so many of our cities today and injure unjustly the value of adjacent Property are the direct result of the plea of economy that can not in reason obtain here. Washington's beauty lizs mainly in the general recognition that Is granted te the rules of proportion. Gradually out of an unpromising nucleus a magnificent capital 1s being evoived. In such a city as this is becoming and is destined to become tne sky-scraper has no logical plac2. Ugly from an artistic standpoint, and out of har- miony with all the general surroundings, it obtrudes itself upon the vision as a tres- passer and its replacement within the lim- its of the law invariably results in a sub- stantial addition to the . architectural at- tractions of the city. + - Holding Back the Transports. With everything in readiness for a land attack in force at Santiago it is unfor- tunate that the troop ships which have just Leen loaded with soldiers at the Florida points of embarkation should be held at anchor. The postpcnement of the depar- ture is attributed to the apprehensions of the military authorities lest there be sovhe foundation for the rumor that a Spanish war fleet is in the vicinity. The reports thus far published afford only the slightest ground for believing that there are any such skips in the neighborhood of Cuba. It is known beyond peradventure that Cervera’s fleet is at Santiago. The only ether war ships belonging to Spain in these waters are small gunboats, of little fight- ing power and unlikely to venture for aggressive action from the ports where they have lurked since the war began. Under any circumstances therefore there is nothing to fe.r unless by some chance the second squadron that has been for so long az Cadiz should have made its way to this sie of the Atlantic unnoted. All that has come from Madrid has tended to render this occurrence improbable. This Trorni:.g’s dispatches indicate that these ships are still at Cadiz. Obviously it is unwise to rely in such a time upon the vague and untrustworthy information that is permitted to emerge from Madrid, styled mi-official."" 1t is therefore barely pos- sible that some of these Cadiz ships may be now near Cuba, awaiting an opportunity to strike the transports on the way to Santiago or to enter one of the blockaded perts for the purpose of bolstering the Spanish cause by a feat that would surely be lauded from Madrid as a_ decisive demenstration of the ineffectiveress of the blockade and the weakness of the Amer- ican campaign. But it is to be remem- bered that many other rumors of a ‘ike tenor have preceded this. Phantom war- skips have been sighted, usually at night, at many points along the coast, notably Newfoundland, and have never again been heard from. The superheated imaginations ef lookouts are probably the cause for these baseless stories of battle-ships and cruisers hovering near the land. But to make certain of the safety of the troops and to prevent further delay in this im- portant enterprise at Santiago no time should be lost in providing an escort for the troop-ships so strong as to leave ro doubt whatever of their safety in transit. —____ ee -___ So great Is the enthusiasm that has been excited at Greensboro, Ala, by the ex- ploit of its son that the Hobson homestead is in danger of being carried away piece- meal by relic hunters.

There has been much flag-cf-truce busi- ness around Santiago harbor of late. Ad- miral Cervera is out of the fight so far as his cruisers are concerned, and, having been definitely discovered by the Ameri- cans, he is not shy about advertising his presence by sending out to the blockading Gene the not bh con fleet steam launches from his ships bear- ing the white symbol of a temporary armis- tice. The presence of cight brave Ameri- seamen within his lines is the prin- reason for this exceptional conduct, not all of the errands of the white- ged steam cutters are in reference to the welfare and the future of Hobson and his men. The correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from the scene of operations, tells this amusing story about a recent expedition from the beleaguered Spaniards: “A launch from the cruiser Almirante Oquendo came out of the harbor flying a flag of truce this morning. A boat from the Iowa, which was lying nearest, went to meet her. Two officers of the Almirante Oquendo came on board, and a very digni- fied, stately officer on the deck of the Iowa received them and inquired their business. They said they came out under the impres- sien that a white flag was flying from the Icwa and supposed the battle ship wanted to surrender. Ar investigation showed several things on the lowa which might have caught their eyes, one of which was Captain Evans’ night shirt hanging on a line. The matter was explained, and the Oquendo’s launch returned with many apol- ogies.” The assumption that the battle ship was about to surrender is, of course, supremely funny, but it is entirely credible. It is quite in line with many of the absurd estimates “placed by Spain and her people upon the American force and purposes throughout the entire dispute. But Spain may rest as- but sured that the accidental display of a night shirt oh wash day will be the nearest ap- preach to a distress signal that will float from an American man-of-war in this cam- paign. ——_»r +s ____ It would be only natural for General Bianco to assume that it would take a great many Spaniards to be worth a man bke Lieut.

Washington Dispatch to Philadelphia Times (Ind.) |% and brown shades— The mild-mannered gentleman who was loth to clash with any other members of the House is now the determined Presideni of the United States, and he is displaying a force of character which surprises Speak- er Reed probably more than all other men who have known William McKinley in Washirgton as the most mild and gentle of men. One of the leading republican senators who covertly opposed annexation, while openly announcing that he will vote for it, this afternoon said: “It looks as though th matter will be brought to a vote. The Pres- ident has the power to call the attention of the Congress to this matter by special message. I am positive that he will do 30 not later than Monday, unless the Speaker permits the majority to take it up on Sat- urday. I guess annexation will go through after all. It cannot be avoided.” This statement comes from an anti-an- nexationist, one who is known to the writ- er to be shrewdiy opposing the Newlands resolution, while openly preserving a smooth demeanor to the contrary. His ad- mission is a confession of defeat for the Speaker and his adherents at both ends of the Capitol. +e —_____ A Sensible Democratic Conclusion. From the Albany Argus (@em.). Again, the Oregcn election demonsirates the unwisdom, from the democratic stand- point, of conducting a state election on na- Uonal issues, especially during the progress of a war. The party out of power at such f a time is extremely unwise to press the fighting on national issues The greatest tional questions of all pertain to the war, and unless the conduct of the war is hope- lessly bad, a war issue prominently raised is apt to benefit the ins. Even proper criticism of the acts of the administration must be conducted with extreme care, or the imputation of Cisloyalty is likely to be incurred.

The United States owes it to civilization as well as to itself frankly to accept the responsibility the fortune of war has thrust upon it. The very object of the war, as publicly avowed by the nation, was human- ity—to put an end to Spanish+misrule and disorder in Cuba. umstances rendered necessary the telling blow which Dewey dealt at Manila. Now that it has been struck, and Spanish authority in the Philip- pines doomed, we can no more think of de- livering back the people of the islands into the hands of the Spaniards than we could think of restoring Cuba and surrendering the Cubans to Spanish misrule. The re- sponsibility imposed upon us is as binding in the case of the Philippines as in that of Cuba. ——_—_ ++ _____ A Military Necessity. From the San Francisco Examiner (dem.).
