Bo THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY..........--July 16, 1893. CROSBY Ss. NOYE . Editor. R has a regular @ permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertisiag Medium it has no eempetitor. U7 le order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should.not be nddressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to rial or Business Depart- © or purpose. tion promised early to- @ay to become decidedly unpleasant, and there was reason to look for a reopening of hostilities to prevent the wily Spanish au- thorit m sipping out of their bargain of surrender. There wera evidences, too, 1 was confronted not only by & of Invaders who threat- ened his integrity, but also by a mutinous temper on the part of the forces in the field b>yond his immediate command. These s at various points within the rrer territory have shown a disposti- to repudiate the terms of the capitu- on and to refuse to lay down their arms 4 return to Spain. There is more of this talk about fighting “‘to the death” that has 4d such a prominent part in the mili- onversations of the Spaniards since the war began. But the clouds of doubt have now been by a brief but expressive dispatch from the front telling of tha final surren- which must mean that the original can terms are accepted, inasmuch as the government decided last night to stand by its propositions and to yield no further to the enemy. Just how this turn in ths case affects the mutinous condition in the field is not yet apparent, but there must der Ame have been some decision regarding the man- ner of d ing the Spanish soldiers now outside of Santiago to the Americans for shipment homeward. This hitch in the negotiations is due en- tirely to the character of the enemy with whoni we are now at war. Treacherous to ths last, the Spanish commanders promise more than they can accomplish or seek to quibble over the exact detail in the hope of prolonging the truce until fever has rav- aged the American ranks and reduced the strength of the invaders. No honorable foe would e himself and his antagonist in this position. While “all is fair in love and war,” yet certain tenets of principle are hald to prevail, and among these {s an in- violate adherence to the terms of a capitu- lation. There is no recourse against such a violation of good faith and military fatr- ness save the infliction of severe blows in the course of the campaign, such as would necessarily be given at any stage. A nation of the stature of the United States cannot afford to be vindictive to the extent of add- ing extra punishment for tricks of the enemy condemned by modern authorities. Nor is Spain's reputation such that it will necessarily suffer from this exhibition of bad faith. You cannot spoll bad butter. If, however, the terms are now arranged and the city and army corps are actually surrendered beyond cavil or doubt the situ- ation Is no worse than it was previously, sav as far as the American efforts at sani- m have been delayed by this misunder- ng. The ter reports of the state of health are not reassuring and against the fever may prove to bs n that against the Span- S$ more costly. Reliance, be placed in the men in e improved m2thods they will ply to the situation. Thus far the fever has been of a slight nature and not as malignant as it sometimes be- aemes. ——_+ —__ The New Chief of Police. The Commissioners have chosen well in Mr. Richard Sylvester to be ief of police, to succeed the ore. Mr. Sylvester knows from top to bottom.

His ap: the more gratifying, too, in view of { civil service character. hedge. He will elaborate the difference be- tween what he is willing to do and what the situation in Spain makes possible. He will shrug his shoulders, as General Toral did, and declare that in reality he is only a subordinate. He must take his orders from Spanish conditions, the difficulties of which he will proceed to magnify to serve his own ends. Craft is the Spaniard’s strong sult. It is a quality which goes with extreme cruelty. The red Indian is both crafty and cruel, but he is not elaborate in the exercise of his qualities. The educated Spaniard goes far beyond him. He has great graciousness of manner in a pow-wow; language without limit; as; arances of fair dealing most tak- ing in thc r fullness. But all the time he is feeling for the fifth rib, and if he finds it his opponent promptly gets the knife. It is to be hoped that when peace nego- tations are opened they may be pressed with due appreciation of these well-known Spanish traits. No waiting on the awful Mr. Jorkins. Bring Mr. Spenlow up to the seratch a: d deal promptly and once for all with him. ——_+++___—__ After Spain Clears Out. It Is perfectly plain that the first gov- ernment in Cuba following the lowering of the Spanish flag will be a military govern- ment. The length of its existence will de- pend on circumstances. The conditions at the start will almost be chaotic. Bitter- ness fs in the hearts of the people. Pov- erty and desolation are everywhere. Time, and time alone, can bring about such changes as will be necessary to insure or- der and security without the prop of bayo- nets. The duty of the United States in the premises will be altogether clear. It is pledged to two things: (1) The driving out of Spain, and (2) the ushering in of a sta- ble and reputable government for the island. The second task will begin as soon as the first is ended. The United States therefore will remain on the scene and in control until the people of Cuba are pre- pared to assume responsibility for law and order. While in control it wiil work of course in the interests and with the co-operation of the Cubans. The Cubans have welcomed the Americans to the scene as the agents for the expulsion of the Spaniards, and they will cons2quently gladly co-operate with them after the Spaniards have been expelled in the interests of the establish- ment of the much desired new government. The difficulties that will confront them at the outset ought to be as patent to them, and probably they will be, as to their American friends and coadjutors. The main point will be the understand- ing that Cuba is to have a free govern- ment as svon as the conditions are ripe for it. A free and independent government is the declared object of the present strug- gle, and that should not for a moment be lost sight of. With the disappearance of the Spanish power in the island the heal- ing of old differences’ among those who are to continue to make Cuba their home should at once begin. It will be a fine field for diplomacy, for statesmanship, and the exercise of all the homely qualities of co-umoa sense peace-making, and the Cu- ban leaders should labor in it diligently. The American people will wish them suc- cess and be prompt to recognize evidences of it. —___- + «= —_____ Thanking the Army. The President's message of thanks to General Shafter and his army was well de- served. It Is one of the most gratifying features of this campaign that no dispost- tion exists in any quarter worthy of se- rious consideration to withhold praise and congratulation from the brave men on land and sea who are carrying the Stars and Stripes into battle with valor and victory. The promotions already granted and the action of Congress ypon those cases that were finally brought to {ts attention show that the nation is grateful and that it is liberal in its rewards. There is no stinting in this matter. It is a big country and it acts in proportion. General Miles’ conduct towatd Shafter in the field has been worthy of all praise. His dispatches have suggest- ed no whit of personal desire to share in the glory, and his unqualified praise of his colleague has made for him many warm friends here at home as well as in the ranks of the army. ——-seo—__—_— Much surprise was expressed at the time of the Hobson exploit that the search- lights In the Spanish forts at the mouth of Santiago harbor were not turned upon thc Merrimac as she made her way into the channel. One of the Spanish naval officers of Cervera’s captured force now naively explains that this failure was due to the fact that the dynamos in the forts were 2 of worthy mei the ranks ions is always to be er things bei mal. Mr. assumes his new duties under tr. i ne2s. The force is just now somewhat out of public favor because of i failure to maintain the bigh standard of ctive work that it once enjoyed. The Star recently called atten- tion to the « fact that there were then no le rs at large, not to mention many burgiars and other offenders whose escape from detection has tended to give the city a poor reputation among law-abiding people aad perhaps to attract the evil-doers of the entire circuit of thieves and criminals. Just what can be done toward a cure of this unfortunate situation is at present @ problem. The force is small and Con- gress is slow in adding to it as the city’s srowth and interests demand. Much, how- lever, can be done toward a betterment of the personnel of those branches of the force nearest to the direct line of public tective bureau ts at pres- of interest.

Paricying With a Spaniard. There is to be seen in mintature in these ations with General Toral what in er form will be encountered by the untry when negotiations for peace are med with Madrid. The Spanish general been full of peace, full of parley, but pressed on the definite point Would it not be better to certainly. But he must tal Blanco, or the authori- at Madrid. Mr. Spenlow, of the well jown English law firm of Speniow & kins, can decide nothing until he has ® conference with the awful Mr. ‘kins. Meanwhile Spanish spies are kept yy ferreting Out weaknesses in the Amer- camp, the information to be uttlized sufficiently encouraging to knock the posed capitulation sky high. mor Sagasta is willing to talk peace That is v. evident. And when tiations are ally opened he will be d full of sonorous eloquence and pro- jons of friendship. But when pressed the point of terms he will begin to not run at night and that consequently the searchlights were out of service. No fur- ther commentary on the incapacity of the Spaniards to manage modern machinery and to cope with a progressive foe is neces- sary. ———__+++_____ On the same day that Spain suspended her entire official salary list in order to obtain money for war purposes the sub- scriptions for the American war loan of $200,000,000 closed with the bonds six times over-bid. Here is a contrast that speaks eloquently of the difference between the two nations and their resources. This co- incidence ought to make surely for speedy peace. — ++ oe In considering terms of peace Sagasta should endeavor to rid Lis mind of the im- pression that this war is a dividend-paying investment. + «= ____ The case of Mr. R. H. Sylvester, the new chief of police, is one where merit suc- ceeded in keeping in the line of steady pre- motion. ee ooo Senor Sagasta Is being pushed to extreme measures in his efforts to demonstrate t merits of an unpopular form of govern- ment. ——_-_ + «> —___. It is now on the program for Spain to have a few suramer resort scares in con- nection with Commodore Watson's fleet. ———__ see After look! ig the situation over, Europe will be compelled to admit that shopkeep- ing is not a bad school for soldiers. “Inspired” Articles. A favorite method of calling particular attention to a foreign newspaper article is to represent {t as “inspired.” That 1s to say, if it appears in Berlin the Kaiser is behind it; if in Hamburg, Prince Bismarck; if in Paris, the French government; if in St. Petersburg, the Czar. “Inspired” articles are at present abundant. Our war with Spain is producing a very large crop of them. The cable brings over one or more every day. Why accept these deliveramces at any such fancy valuation? Why not put them and treat them on a common-place level? ‘The European press, it is true, differs from the American press in that it enjoys much less freedom of utterance, but it Is never- theless free to express and does express a good many dpinions of its own about public questions which in nowise reflect the official view. It agitates, and its wish is often father to the thought it expresses. The government may or may not follow the line indicated. , Europe is sometimes imposed upon in this way about articles which appear in American newsp: ders. They are represent- ed as having bee. “inspired,” and are com- mented on accordingly. We kaow how little there is to that. The representative Amer- ican newspaper is independent in that it speaks for itself and is not merely the mouthpiece of somebody in office. So that when Europe hears just now from bump- tious publications precisely the terms upon which the United States will settle with Spain for peace it should possess {ts soul in patience and wait for further particu- lars. Everything seems to warrant the asser- tion that this government has so far con- fined itself solely to the prosecution cf the war. It has wisely attended to the busi- ness in hand. It will be time enough to take up the question of peace when that question 1s -presented. And as it went to war without consulting foreign powers, may it not be expected to make peace wh2n the time comes without consulting them? Assuredly. Foreign powers ought to un- derstand this. If they do not, so much the Worse for them. But until there is some- thing official to the contrary it will be best to assume that they do understand it. The United States cannot be taken by surprise anywhere, and it will instantly resent out- side interference anywhere. ——re2—___ Spain’s disposition in diplomacy and war is such as to lead to a fear lest she will enter a protest with the powers if we fail to provide the transports carrying her sol- diers back home with brass bands and ice cream freezers. —>+o—___ Admiral Diederichs will tell Prince Henry what happened at the Philippines ond Prince Henry will tell his brother Wilhelm, and that will probably end the matter. ———___-« It must add to Cervera’s humiliation to realize that he is the most coiossal speci- men of “has-been” this country has ever witnessed. 2 +____—_ General Toral is bringing new evidence to show that a man may be a Spanish gentle- man and an unmitigated Mar at the same time, —_~++___ The provost guard is having more trouble gathering in delinquents than the sergeznt- at-arms of the House of Repres2ntatives. poste aia Richard Croker will presently be moved to denounce David B.

New York Corr. Philadelphia Press. Those who have been closely watching the course of public opinion do not fail to observe that it is strongly settled toward a large control of the Philippine archipelago, not so much because it is f2It that Spain ought to pay heavily for resisting the diplo- matic demands of the United States last winter as because the war has unexpected- ly placed enormous advantages in the pos- session of the United States, advantages which would be of incalculable value in the protection and increase of those suddenly developed trade relations with Asia which it Is now manifest to the world we have es- tablished. ‘Th2re is no more cauttous or conservative newspaper in this country than the recog- nized financial and commercial authority, the Journal of Commerce of this city, and tcday it speaks with most serious import of this Philippine question. It believes that it expresses the b2st, the most serious pub- Ne opinion when it says that it Is absolute- ly essential that, in view of the purpose of some of the other great commercial powers to exclude, so far as possible, America and England from the trade which the vast Asiatic population offers that the United States reserve for Itself unobstructed access to the celestial empirs. “For such purposes of protection it is in- dispensable that we be equipped with a na- val base In the Pacific. That necessity is opportunely met by our control of the Phil- ippine Islands; and w2 are bound to see to it that this vitally needed acquisition 1s not allowed to slip from our hands. So large an extent of territory may not be needful for defensive purposes, but we cannot attempt to divide it without inviting serious interna- tional quarrels. We therefore must hold the whole, sharing, when and so far as it may be safely done, political power with the inhabitants. If anybody chooses to call this colonizing or imperialism they may bs safely allowed all they can make by such @ perversion of terms.” ‘That, it is believed, expresses the major- ity opinion tt has finally been formulated among thinking and conservative men here, and it is an opinion which, it ts believed, the administration must take into consider- ation when it comes to the negotiation of the treaty of peace. “what if He Hast” From the San Francisco Bulletin. Now that J. H.
