THE EVENING STAR has a regular mad permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- ef the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has ne cemyetitor. im erder to avoid delays, om nc- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAK should not be addressed to any individual connected with the STAR, or to fice, but simply to TH he Editorial or Dax! ments, avcording to ten have go by land fought the and by s Although de s are meager, enough is known to assure the nation that that the southeast- ern stronghold of Spain has been brought to the point of capture, end that the once- feared fleet of powerful Spanish vessels nm destroyed. The di been w a victory h a tance and the lack of pified to put the world at least a day be- hind the fall facts in understanding the situation. We now know im fair detail the glorious story of Friday's desperate fight- ing; Row the American troops, in the face of the greatest difficulties, opposed by a gtubborn foe fighting from behind trenchments and aided by the use of smoke- Jess powder, nevertheless steadily advanced, successively winning points of vantage, un- til at the close of that first bloody day the Spanish forces had been practically driven back to their inner line of defenses. We also know fairly well the story of Satur- @ay’s work, which cost so heavily and the first accounts of which caused the nation’s heart to ache. Little now is known of the exact manner in which the investment of Santiago was complzted by Saturday's actior. It is clear that the Americans not only maintained their holdings, but ad- vanced still further toward the city, and, aided by the ships, caused terrible damage to the town itself. The American losses Were heavy--so heavy, indeed, that in the first accounts were suggestions of a failure of the general plan; of an inability to follow up the advantage already gained. General Shafter’s intimation that he needed rei forcements to complete the campaign against the city depressed the country. Yesterday was a day of deep despondenc: ‘The people had begun to realize that war costs heavily, and that all victories are not So cheaply bought as was that of Dewey at Manila. The tidings that the Spanish ships had been destroyed came, therefore, as does @ cool breeze io heat-stricken men. According to the message just received from Admiral Sampson, destined to become famous in history, Admiral Cervera and his fleet issuing from the harbor and at- tempting to escape wer the American ships. The two Spanish torpedo eestroyers were sunk within four miles of Santiago, the Vizeaya, Oquendo and -larii Theresa were burned ard blown up within ion have com- en- engaged by twenty miles anc the Colon was cuptured sixty miles from the harbor from which it had issued in this dezperate effort to es- cape. . The disparity between the American and Spenish naval losses in this fight is sugges- tive of the marvel of Manila. One Am ican was killed and two wounded, whil> the Spanish losses aggregated hundreds, and 1,300 Spanish prisoners fell into Amer- ican hands, including Admiral Cervera. The nation rejoices in this marvelous success. it sends its thanks to Sampson and his men, and it honors them for the manner in which they have sustained the prestige of the American and the American nation. navy For the brave soldiers who have fought 80 well wnder Shafter there is also unstinted praise. Their work of the last few days assures the collapse of the Spanish cause. it cannot long withstand such determined, brave and skillful assaults as those thus far directed against it by Uncle Sam’s sol- diers and sailors. Dewey is reinforced and in control at Ma- nila, the Ladrones have fallen, Cervera’s ships are demolished, and Santiago Is at our mercy! Now for Porto Rico, Camara, the Cararies and the coast of Spain! Hurrah for the Fourth of July! ———————____ There is a prospect that the District sol- diers may arrive on the scene at Santi- ago in time to participate just when the conflict is at its height.

Never had the nation a better right and @ stronger reason to celebrate its natal day. From Philadelphia in 1776 to Santiago in 1898 is indeed a far cry, but the space of time 1s filled with world-moving events. ‘The inspiration of 1776 was self-preserva- tive. That of today is for the extension to america's suffering neighbors of the bless- Ings won at the beginning of the era of lib- erty. The same spirit pervades the at- mosphere. In 1776 it nerved the arms of the colonists to victory for their own cause, Yor which they freely sacrificed their lives. t has now sent to Cuba and to the Phil- *ppine Islands armies and navies equally eager to fight for the causé of humanity and human liberty the world over. The world will inevitably be bettered by this continuation of the fight for freedom. No human mind can comprehend to the full the blessings of the outcome of the first struggie of the American colontes. This nation was bern. It grew from mod- est beginnings into great proportions; it became u factor of first importance in the world’s economy: it materially altered the Scope of civilization and contributed large- Jy to the cause of enlightenment and hu- Ban comfort. lis share of the world’s work has been tremendous. It now as- sumes @ new duty, justified in its assump- tion by every consideration of loyalty te the first cause of its being. Its attitude as champion of the suffering subjects of des- Potic Spain is unique in history and today's sum total of achievements in the campaign makes for the permanent benefit of no’ enly the immediate beneficiaries of its in- tercession, but of all subject peoples in al! » Quarters of the globe. ‘This war was undertaken for a cause such as seldom moves nations to sacrifice lives |" and fortune. It has been prosecuted with i | | were it n | earnest fidelity to the central inspiration of the intervention. The success that has come to the American arms is thus far so complete that the world, even considering | the weakness of our opponent, is staggered. | ‘The first success was overwhelming in its proportions. That just approaching its final stage is none the less satisfactory and sig- nificant, even though it has cost more dearly. The sacrifice of blood at Santiagp is de- plorable, but it is freely, ungrudgingly of- fercd in the hope that, with Cuba freed onies were freed from, oppresston a century and mere ago, the world’s observance of the inalienable human rights for which the battles of "76 and "98 have been fought will be the more complete and certain. The principles underlying this republic, found- ed at the beginning at this span of many years, are today the stronger and more cer- tain of perpetuation by reason of the pres- ent glorious championing of freedom's cause by this nation. Will Meet Any Emergency. The London Spectator has fears on two points: @) Phat this‘war with Spain has de- velcped questions for which the American pecple are not prepared, and (2) that when they come to realize fully what is before them they may not be willing to go on to the logical conclusion. The Spectator says: “One thing is very curious in all this mat. ter, and that is the scanty evidence of American opinion which reaches Europe. What do all these quiet millions of work- ing freeholders and industrious citizens, who live away from the newspaper cor- respondents think about the progress of the war? Are they aware that their coun- try stands at the parting of the ways, that her external policy must be radically modi- fied. and that she is eigaged in a war which may so develop that it will occupy ¥ create a national debt and leave the United States with a powerful army and the second fleet in the world? Do they think of peace, or have they made up their minds that there shall be no peace until Spain begs for it and surrenders her colo- nies? Above all, have they thought of the possibility of the war extending, and what, in that case, they will order their govern- ment to do?” This is founded upon the view first set forth in certain pro-Spanish circles in the United States, that the war is the work of politicians and that the mass of the people know httle about it. Nothing could be furtuer from the truth. The Cuban ques- tion was under discussion in this country for more than three years before war was declared. Freedom for Cuba was a feature of the national campaign in 1896. Both parties declared for it. The present Con- gress, which was elected that year, was virtually instructed on that issue, and when it voted for war, all effurts to settle the difficulty by other means having failed, it acted directly in conformity with the na- tional wish. The people at once ratified that action hy their response to the President's caH for volunteers. All the states are represented in the enlistments. The men who are en route to Manila with General Merritt, and these now in Cuba with Generai Shafter and others soon to join him there, are re- cruited from the “quiet millions of working freeholders and industrious citizens” of whom the Spectator speaks. And there are thougands more of the same quality ready to foliow them if needed. Let not the Spectator despair of either the intelligence or the American spirit respecting the war and tts obliga- tions. War is on by command of the Amer- ican people. They have not stopped to count the cost. Their soldiers and sailors are fighting for what they consider the cause of justice and humanity. Their pride ‘They intend to whip Spain at any have no fears about their gov- ernment.

Reflection. The American people are enjoying this day, and will profit by their communings with one another. Célebrations, formal or informal, are in progress everywhere, and- such an outpouring of national spirit has but rarely been known. Old memories are reinforced by pride in latest achievements, and the record throughout, beginning at the beginning, is full of cheer and inspiration. Nor will the time be consumed simply in jJoliification. A note of refiection will be sounded whose echoes will be heard in the coming campaigns. There are grave re- sponsibilities to be met, and the splendid result at Santiago hastens the necessity for their consideration. The peaple must de- cide the course to be taken, and whatever their decision may be It will be carried out fully and faithfully by their chosen serv- ants. The charge that matters are being shaped for partisan advantage and personal ends is a slander, vile in intent, but feeble in power. What is of such paramount con- cern to everybody cannot in this country be “cornered” and manipulated in uny un- worthy way. The war with Spain is be- ing waged by the people’s order and in their name, and whatever is accomplished by it will be garnered for their benefit. Sobersided neutrals in the country are likely to deplore this mingling of enthusi- asm with consideration of questions of na- tional policy. Their fear will be that the ceeds from those who in reality have no faith in popular government; who would be glad to restrict the power of the people; who believe, as Mr, Jefferson did not, a few favored individuals are born from Spanish misrule as the American col-_ THE EVEWING STAR, MONDAY, JULY 4, 1698-12 PAGES. ‘tions are of the greatest moment, and will be met and decided in the same spirit which ' animated the men who originally made this day one of the most glorious of the calen- | —r+o—___ If Hawail had been owned by Spain, this country would have had it long ago. ——_e+2—___ Ingiseretion is the greater part of valor with Spain. ———~++2s—___- SHOOTING STARS.

From the Honclulu Commercial Advertiser. Just as the ancient cities gave to men whom they delighted to honor, “the free- om of the city,’ we have given to you, the thinking bayonets of the United States, the freedom of Hawaii. We are of many races, but before you we are one, and a composite race, which knows for the day no lines of difference. It is a privilege beyond price to toueh yeur hands, and hear your voices, because to many ef us you are of the same flesh end blood from over the sea, and you are the Apestles of our faith and hope. Are We not under the same war cloud that rests over the American continent today? Have we not invited it? And, therefore do we not honor you, who now hold your lives at the service of the state, and have, at the call of the state, turned your plough shares into swords, dressed yourseives in ‘the livery ef blood,” and accepted the thunder and Sunshine of war? i If in breathing our air, and in looking upon the beauty of our mountains and sea, which is cur sweet heritage, you have found rest before breasting the wilderness of water that lies beyond us, we assure you, that it is as grateful to us as it is to cu, SWe know that in many a home on the western boundary of the great continent, the blessings and prayers of many anx- ious hearts follow you to the end, in lines of light, with steadfast courage, and that divine patience in solitude that makes sac- rifice a pleasure, and not a duty. We know that there comes the same message to you, from these homes, that the Spartan mothers sent to their soldier boys, “return with your shield or upon it,” and the little chiidren pray for those of you who will never return, but lie forever in inhospitable ves Under this lavish wealth of trees and palms and flowers, mothers’ hands have tried to do for you, in these few hours, what they would have done for their own, and cur white rebed girls have lovingly rendered service to you, in the name and stead of the girls you have left behind you. You need no exhortation to courage in climbing the awful heights of battle, for you come of.a race that is molded in cour- e. “So good-bye, boys in blue. Plant Old Glery in the far east, not in hatred, or with the love of conquest, but in the name of the ealightened people of the world who cannot rest until the barriers of ignorance, cruelty and injustice have crumbled in Cuba and the Philippines. —_+ > —__—_ Praise for Dewey's Reinforcements. From the Honelulu Star. . Could anything be finer than the condue of Uncle Sam’s beys yesterday? Cooped up as they had been in the transports, given free shore leave, in a town that they were strange to, among people they did not know, there ‘was every temptation to cut loose and show the worSt side of their nature. But this town saw, what probably no town has ever seen, and that sa couple of thousand men given Hberty and not a case whieh called for police interference. Of course this comes from the pecullar material of Which these troops are com- posed. They are no riff-raff, no swzepings of tho purtieus of a city. They are the pick and choice of the growing western states. Bad not the call of duty come, thes> youth would one and all have been filling honor- able ‘positions and laying the foundations of their own prosperity and that of the community in which they lived. Other nations have sacrificed their dear- est and best, but it is very doubtful indeed whether any nation would send forth to the grimmest of war such rank and fe‘as are today marching in our streets. 6 The Aavance Guard at Hawaii.
