Elsewhere in today’s n columns will be found a description of the work that is be- ing done by a number of generous w men of Washington in aid of the families oi sol- Giers now at the front. There is serious need of money and supplies for this work and The Star extends the invitation to its readers to help in this worthy Cause. The men who represent the national cap- ital at the front have left behind them Most of these are of them opulent. a certain percentage of them are now aries of Life.

Whenever war strikes a civilized country one of the first duties of those who do not enlist for actual fighting is to care for and comfort these who are left behind by the ers.

Toral found that he had been flanked by ths District of Columbia regiment he re i the hope- lessness of his situation and surrender ——_+ +2 —___ tly Successful Campaign. A Brill ‘The fall of Santiago marks the close of @ brief but brilliant campaign which can Q ail to bring the American army into high repute abroad as well as at home. The military move against Cuba was un- dertaken under serious handicaps. The eremy was in full possession of the island and had had ample time to fortify and en- trencheand :n other s to prepare for attack. There was no lack of men and ap- parently of ammunition. The climate was notoriously adverse to the chances of Amer- ican success in a prolonged campaign. The employment of practically unacclimated men against an acclimated fce opencd wide Possibilities for disaster. The Place chosen by the American authorities for the first assault was capable of a strong defense. A large and apparently sufficient force of Spaniards was there assembied, the arbor fortifications and mines were formidable and a pow2rful squadron lay at anchor within. The rainy seasori had begun, plac- ing a severe burden upon the invaders in their efforts to land and secure command- ing positions for either infantry or artfl- lery. A part of the American army was cemposed of volunteers, unused to the hardships of military field Iife and armed with an inferior rifle. The Spanish forces enjoyed the unmistakable advantage of smokeless powder as well as of a small arm materially better than the best in the American ranks. They were, besides, en- trenched and capable of inflicting severe punishment upon an advancing line. ‘The first success came with the landing of the troops, which was achieved without the slightest loss or delay. Phe early skir- nishes were filled with incidents serving to show the remarkable steadiness of the American troops ander fire. Despite the unfamiliarity of the ground and the de- piessing ‘influences of the climate the in- vestment of the city was begun with a promptness and a success that astounded the Spaniards, who fell back to their sec- ond line of works with a merely nominal resistance. The assault upon these lines was wonderfully effective. In two days of desperate fighting, marked by instances of the most heroic conduct on the part of the American soldiers, the city was be- the defencers were at the tra- al “last ditch” and all was ready for a last graad charge to carry the town. Even yet great difficulties confronted the American commander. The roads had be- ccme gulches deep in mud, the trenches where the hardy fighters crouched ran high with rainwater, the food supplies were slow of movement on account of the con- dition of the trails and the climati2 infiu- exces were beginning to tell. Meanwhile the navy crushed the Spanish squadron in so complete a manner as to remove one of the strongest elemerts of doubt in the movement. Reinforcements were rushed to the front from newly arrived transports and the line encircling the clty was com- piteted. Advantege was taken of every op- portunity to strengthen the American po- sition and the Spanish commander was called upon to surrender. The parleying lasted ten days. It resulted in a final Dicodless victory and on such terms that Spain has paused in her foolish pursuit of the mirage of victory and thinks now of peace negotiations. One month frem the day of its sailing from Tampa Gen. Shafter’s army of inva- sion captured the second strongest center of military occupation in Cuba. In the matter of forming and handling armies as well as in naval enterprises the United States proves equal fo the emergency. ——_+ ++ —___ News From Spain Foreshadows Peace. Today's news from Madrid tends signifi- cantly toward the probability of an early peace. The constitutional rights of indi- viduals have been abrogated by royal de- cree and the public salary lists have been suspended. These moves indicate that Spain is not only in desperate financial straits, requiring extraordinary measures of economy, but that she realizes the hop’ lessness of further campaigning. ‘The sus- pension of the constitutional rights of in= dividuals is no less than a declaration of martial law, and it is evidently designed in this case to place the government in di- rect control of the situation at all points througheut the kingdom, in order to be prepared for uprisings whenever the facts of the fall of Santiago and the opening of peace negotiations are made public. It is far easier to keep the peopie in ignorance of passing events in Spain than in this country. Indeed, it is practically impossi- ble here. Judging from this morning's dispatches from Madrid, the public there had not learned of the fall of Santiago last night, and there is even now no sug- gestion that it has yet been informed of Toral’s surrender. The suppression of this important fact is in line with the assump- tion that Madrid is making ready to talk peace. What else can Spain do? What is there yet remaining of hope for her success? She has been beaten at all points. Not a single victory stands today to her credit, while she has lost in succession the Philip- pines, two large squadrons and an impurt- ant city, together with an army corps. The causes leading to these*successes for the United States are still potent for fur- ther blows against the Spanish power. Preparations are in progress to strike her at home. Unless all present indications fail, Spain will in a few weeks lose a third squadron, comprising the best of her re- maining ships, and with this loss there will be left to her practically no sea power whatever. Meanwhile the lines will close in upon the land positions yet in Spanish hands. Porto Rico cannot avoid the fate of Santiago, and after Porto Rico all of Cuba must inevitably fall into the military possession of the United States. vere there the least reason for Spain to an American reverse she might justifiably plan to continue the war far- ther. Or if she had cause to expect Eu- ropean intervention in her behalf on such terms as to prevent further damege2 to her she would be entitled, from her own point of view, to proceed with her policy of re- sistance. Europe, however, seems no more disposed to take a hand in the fight today out of sympathy for Spain than at any previous stage of the. conflict. — + +___ Mr. Cunningham Graham, the alleged former member of the British parliament, who makes the claim that all of Dewey's good shcoting at Manila was done by En- glish gunners, hired for the occasion, com- mitted a stupid blunder in not waiting for the destruction of Cervera’s fleet at San- tago, and including the marksmanship dis- played there in his caveat. There was some pretty accurate firing on that occa- sion, too. ——__ + +2 —___ Horton, the murderer, advances the the- ory that his hands may have been guilty, but his heart was not in accord with his mind. It is to be feared that he will have to leave so complicated a proposition to be worked out by posterity. eee Commodore Schley’s intimation that a great many people were concerned in the Santiago achievement is modest and at the same time significant. —_++2s—____ Philadelp* ia citizens should insist on a change in tueir water supply before joining any “don’t worry” clubs. ——_+ +e—____ Possibly Dorsey Foultz has escaped the eye of the law by frequenting the various suburban gambling resorts. ————__ + ee -___.

The marvelous success of the war loan, which has been subscribed six times over, ought to furnish Europe with material for some very suggestive lines of thought con- cerning the confidence of the people of the United States in their method of govern- ment. The call was for $200,000,000, to be offered first to the private citizens, the smallest requisitions to be earliest honored. Many authorities believed this an unwise plan. They deprecated the idea of offering the bonds to the people, fearing that the people would not take them and that the failure of the plan would injure American prestige abroad. When the subseription closed yesterday afternoon offers had been received from a quarter of a million people, asking for bonds in various amounts rang- ing from the minimum of $20 to the entire amount of the loan: No such display of patriotic confidence in the integrity and THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1898-12 PAGES strength of a government was ever before afforded. Had the government desired a billion doliars for war purposes it could have obtained that sum as easily as the Paltry $200,000,000 asked for in the first issue. There is apparently no limitation to be placed upon the faith of the people in the bonds of its government. The money thus loaned to the Treasury will place many thousands of citizens in closer touch with the machinery of the republic than ever before. It will send the interest money paid by the government into quar- ters where it will do the greatest good. The character of the loan will remove, too, the suspicion aroused in many minds that the government favors the great financial corporations and that the average man has no show when bonds are to be sold. A bet- ter feeling has been created on all sides. The success of this loan, under its peculiar terms, is more gratifying than half a dozen victories on the field or the sea. It wili have a more wholesome effect in Europe in disclosing the homogeneity of the American people than all the displays of patriotism that this war has thus far elicited. ———_-+ + ____ Blanco’s Reported Suicidal Attempt. That Blanco suicide story will require a stack of verification affidavits before it will be generally believed on this side. As far as it goes it suggests that the captain general went about the work of self-de- struction with a theatrical ostentation that is not in harmony with the sincerity that is to be expected of a man in his position. No doubt the news about Cervera’s defeat was a bitter pill for the Spanish com- mander to swallow, but unless he is an exceptionally stupid man he must have foreseen the inevitable end of a conflict between the Spanish and American ships of war. Blanco has done other things that were evidently designed for effect Upon the public mind of Spain, and this is per- haps one of his dramatic poses. ——_~e2_____ Germany is disposed to attach rather too much importance to the question of whether or not it will recognize Aguinaldo as a belligerent. ————_- + s____ General Toral is debating the difficult point of whether or not there is any merit or heroigm in carrying out fool instruc- tions. ——_+ +s —___ Cervera may have an opportunity, while at Annapolis, to study the methods by which Americans train their fighters. ——_+ +2 _—__ If the German emperor means as well as he declares he should be careful that he is not misunderstood. ———_—_-+s—___ Spain's “conditions of peace” merely add to the gratuitous suggestions offered the administration. Much Worse. “I understand that Sagasta has a case of blues,” said one Spanish citizen. “It's worse than that. It's a case of red, white and blues.” A Large Outpet. “Did you get anything out o’ that mine of yours?" asked the interested friend. “Ye answered the fortune hunter; “dirt an’ water till you couldn't rest!” A Suspicion. “Oh, I don’t think!” so knowingly Exclaims the modern youth.

Prudence. “What's your reason for delaying peace proposals?” inquired one Spanish cabinet officer. “I thought we'd better take plenty of time to think up things that we want the United States to give us.” A Trustworthy Impression. harley,” said young Mrs. Torkins, “you have heard of castles in Spain.” “Yes. “Did you ever see one No. Why do you ask?” “I was just wondering whether they aren't built of those gold bricks you read about so much.” An Interval of Repose. the bloom’s on the meadow. breeze from the vest Is sweet with the scent of the flow’rs we love best, And gently the branches are stirred And the suaset afar, as it radiantly glows, Delights your last look as you sink to re- pose— And Congress ain't sayin’ a word.

From the New York Times, The actions of the German. ships denote @ purpose of superintending this war. That is a pretension which we believe has never been put forward by a single nation be- fore, certainly not toward a nation which it recognized as on an equality with it- self. That there 1s any political purpose in these provocations it is hard to believe. It is plain that the tendency of them upon Fublic opinion in this country is toward bringing it to a resolution that, whoever shall take profit by the changes that may be made in the government of the Philip- pines, the author of these provocations shall derive none whatever. ———_+ + + ___ Is Emperor William Responsible? From the New York Journal. If Emperor William is responsible for the behavior of his navy in Philippine waters Emperor William is a fool. If he is not re- sponsible, then he will put an immediate stop to the folly of his officers, who are doing their best to foment a quarrel be- tween Germany and the United States. —_—>ro—____ The Effect of Dewey's Act. From the New York Sun. The effect of Admiral Dewey’s act is to show onlooking nations that we propose to conduct our campaign in the Philippines in our own way, and will not allow them to say what ports. islands, or territory shall or shall not be taken from the Span- jards, either by our forces or by the in- surgents, wherever the latter act on parallel lines with us or under our control. It is this that gives the Subig Bay affair, per- haps, its greatest value. Its general result is to strengthen the impression among all nations that we are masters in the Philip- pines now. The situation is made simpler instead of more complicated by the Subig Bay affair, and we are the better off for it, thanks to Dewey's promptness, courage and good sense. ——_-++—____ Seats for Passengers.
