The United States, ac- ng to this Spa: view, was in honor d hod confine its activities exclusively and of Cuba. No foot of Spanish territory elsewhere should have been con- sidered or assaulted. When Commodore Dewey was ordered away from Hong Kong his destination should have been home. The sending him against Manila and his performance in the harbor there were out of line with the American declaration of cor: bot tot war. The war was undertaken to free Cuba. What had the Philippines to do with Cuba? When Manila was covered by American guns the war became one of con- in violation of the American pro- ons. This may be Spain's idea of matters, but It is very far from being the American idea. An intelligent nation makes war in no such fashion as that. From the day hostilities began, Spain, wherever vulnerable, became a legitimate target for the United States. Commodore Dewey's logical course after cables were slipt at Hong Kong led to Manila, where his orders took him. Our next move, now that Santiago has fallen, Is properly on Porto Rico and not on Havana, By are some pro-Spanish Americans who name Havana next, and Lave been urging for some time that a force be gent against that city, but their suggestions) i edediyiiiol ts “oonnt! ara“ omset oe wher are anxious, as Spain is, to have the war conduc s insuring Spain full use of her greatest strength. The United States, then, has attacked Spain logically and legitimately, and the question now arises as to what it shall do with the advantages gained. Spain as much as proposes that the United States call off everywhere else and she will con- independence for Cuba, and that will It is a proposition so out of keeping with igations and requirements of the only Spain could have origi- cede 30 that Missionaries of the Truth for Spain. The project of sending back to Spain the troops taken at Santiago is calculated in its execution to facilitate whatever peace sen- timent may now exist in Spain. The sol- diers thus returned to their homes will carry with them a revelation wo the Span- jards concerning the fighting qualities of the Americans. Before the war began and even since it bas been in progress the sub- jects of the boy king have been told and ave told each other that the Americans were merely a lot of pigs, greedy for gain and ignorant of the higher principles of honor and military glory, fearful of bullets and likely to turn and flee from the heroes from Spain engaged in defending the crown’s colonial jewels with characteristic Sparish valor. This and much more of the same sort was poured tuto willing ears. Were Spain a reading nation the truth ily have been disclosed to it weeks ago by the accounts of the unbroken chain of American victories, but unfortu- nately little that is true is permitted to find its way to the common people, a very small percentage of whom are literate. Here now is a chance to send to Spain twenty thou- sand or more missionaries of the truth, men who have witnessed the valor of Americans, who have been conquered by the brave fighters who falter at no odds and press on against entrenchments and heavy guns and murderous rifte fire with- hing. The Spanish prisoners taken uring the two ‘Sof fighting around ago told their captors that they were amazed at the intrepidity of the Ameri- car soldiers. They had never before en- countered a body of men who always ad- vanced, despite the galling fire. They have been used to seeing their opponents turn ana flee at the first volleys. But here were men who kept coming on. No amount of ng seemed to check their progress. It ras a revelation. It was useless to tignt He could not be conquered. ands now taken with the city ibtedly tell the same kind of story Perhaps the real situation may wn upon the peasants who n ground down by a cruel but have been kept in blind ig- of pi events. ———————+ +2. —___ The news that Hawatian royal relics are to be collected and put into a museum may cause Liliuokalani some uneasiness con- cerning her personal future. horanc lering the matter should not blame this tating to take any- body s word for anything, when it is given in Spa: itten paro! lory Over s There are probably few Americans who 4o not heartily wish that they could have been present at Santiago yesterday morn- ing when Old C\ory was hoisted over the city the bands played “The Star Spangled Banner” and the American troops presented arms and cheered and the red and yellow emblem of Spain went fluttering to the ground. It was a moment calculated to thrilf the heart of the most lethargic. The triumph of the American arms at Santiago is complete. The surrender is in all respects satisfactory. The enemy was strongly intrenched in the city, Santiago's defenses being such as to cause General Shafter to estimate after inspecting them that it would have cost at least 5,000 Ameri- can lives to carry them by storm. The terms of the capitulation involved no material yielding to Spain. The United States secures the immediate possession of the city and a large area of surrounding territory; it ob- tains as prisoners of war, to be shipped out of the range of the present campaign in the West Indies, upward of 00 sol- diers, fully half of whom have not been factors in this fighting, and some of whom, it fs believed, are located at present outside of the surrendered region; it obtains with them a large number of Mauser rifles, to- gether with a store of suitable ammunition and several batteries of valuable guns; it secures control of the safe harbo- and its fortifications; it gains a vitally necessary and opportunity to cope on even terms with the yellow fever now threatening the army; it does all this with practically no loss of life, beyond that resulting from the initial efforts of the siege.” No more could be asked. The situation might easily have become desperate. The fever, despite Its mild type, is disabling hundreds of our men and may attatk halt the force before it is stamped out. Even then it remains a potent factor for possible trouble at all times during the present campaign. But the experiences gained at Santiago are of unquestioned value. They will doubtless enable the American authori- ties and commanders to avoid mistakes that have naturally followed from their unfamiliarity with the conditions in the island. Porto Rico will prove a far easier problem in proportion than Santiago. The knowledge of the prevailing conditions gained at the latter place will not only make veterans of the troops who fought there, but it will make experts of the men who commanded them. It is well to consider the advantages of a capture of this Spanish stronghold by sur- render over the gain of its capture by as- sault. In the latter case the American army would doubtless have suffered terri- bly and gained no more than the mere pos- session of a sacked and burned city. The army of Spaniards, if not cut to pieces, would have escaped to the country round about, to make its way by detachments to other centers than Santiago, or. to conduct a constant guerilla warfare from the brush. “Before escaping the enemy would unques- tionably have destroyed all valuable muni- tions of war, leaving practically nothing to be enjoyed by the victors. =————>+2__. Give Cuba a Clean Bill of Health. The Cuban campaign will doubtless re- sult in many scientific inquiries into the possibility of driving the yellow fever per- manently out of the island. The climate of Cuba is. of course, a stubborn obstacle to its sanitation. The persistent rains dur- ing the summer are especially productive of the elements of the disease. The germs ripen and become virulent in the hot, moist atmosphere. It is also clear, however, that much of the disease in the island springs from the utter lack of proper sanitary pre- caution: The large cities are mainly, it not wholly, unsewered, and the filth is permitted to accumulate in streets or at best in rivers and harbors, until it creates a series of infection centers. The interior is provided with the meagerest of advan- tages for drainage and for rapid travel. The swamps are allowed to remain p¢s- tilence holes and the entire island is per- mitted by the lack of vigorous treatment to become a constantly growing store house of fever germs. American engineering can werk marvels with the swamps and the rivers and harbors. Drainage canals and sewers can be built that will greatly ameli- orate the city conditions while the swamps can be in Cuba, as they have been in the United States, transformed from pest pools into fertile farms. By a rigorous system of senitary regulations the people can be brought to regard the rules of health and t» aid the authorities in their endeavors to stamp out the diseases that now frighten away colonists and reduce the inhabitants to the lowest level of human comfort. The question yet unanswered is whether such works can accomplish the desired end of ecmplete nitation. Greater marvels have been wrought in this day of scientific dis- coveries ard achievements. More serious obstacles have been overcome. The goal in sight is attractive. There is encourage- ment in the fact that there Is every pro: pect that in the near future the sluggish, indifferent, incompetent Spanish official will be replaced by the active, intelligent Am rican. In the difference between these ty@ races probably Iles the secret of su! cers. If Uncle Sam can succeed as a re- suit of this war in freeing Cuba of two of the world’s greatest plagues, Spanish rule and “yellow jack,” he will have rendered humanity a service that it can never repay. —__+ 2 _____ Slopping Over. ‘There seems to be some danger lest the Americin peopl, in their desire to deal leniently with the captured Spaniards, may slop over and become ridiculous. The nat- ural tendency of an American is to be po- lite and considerate. A few {ll-naturcd ones are scattered here and there through the crowds, but they are far in the minor- ity. When Spanish prisoners, 2specially of high rank, began to come re there was an immediate disposition played to carry conviction to the hearts of the strange! of the kindiiness of this nation. Perhaps the main fnspiration was a desir2 to con- trast the American methods with what are popularly supposed to be the Spanish meth- ods of treating prisoners of war. There may have been a degree of prid> and some measure of posing before Europe this. matte! As a result there has already been much ostentatious fraternizing with th> captured people. much undignified heroiz- ing, much almost maudlin sympathizing. These men are entitled to due considera- tien, but no more. There is no need of bouquets for them, nor of elaborate ban- quets, nor of other sentimentally inspire attentions that have never befor> been ex- tended to prisoners of war, but are already being offered to the Spaniards. It is bad enough to permit murderers about to be ex2euted under the solemn mandate of the jaw to be gorged with dainties and smoth- ered with flowers by sickly sentimentalists. The practice is not to be encouraged and extended to other prisoners.* General Toral greatly regrets that he could not educate this country to appre- ciate his manana methods of warfare and surrender. —_——_seoo—____—__ The belief in the existence of a local sui- cide club is seriously advanced in New York. .

Democracy and the Next House. Mr. Bailey, who will bad candidate for Speaker of the next House iP his party se- cures control of that body, will take an ac- tive part in this year's campaigns. His cwn re-election is assured, and this will leave him at lberty te go wherever it may serve his interests best. He is an attrac- tive man, of excellent ability, and is very effective on the stump. He will probably work all the harder because of some mis- takes he has recently made, and which bave subjected him to criticism both with- in and without his party. That he injured himself somewhat cannot be denied. But he will strike his gait after awhile, and when he does he Is likely to prove a formi- dable man in the pursuit of party honors. Mr. De Armond of Missouri and Mr. Rich- ardson of Tennessee are also counted in that race. Mr. De Armond, through one of his collgagues, is formally announced as a cun- @'date. Mr. Richardson’s candidacy is very generally assumed. - Both are able men, and Mr. Richardson is a recognized parliamen- tary authority. Mr. Richardsen, like Mr. Bailey, with a safe democratic majority at bome, will be able to tour the close districts and help along his speakership candidacy THE EVENING STAR,.MONDAY, JULY 143, 1898-12 PAGES. in that way. Mr. De Armond is not so for- tunate. His fs a close district, and will re- uire his attention. But it is a far cry to the organization of the next House, and calculations, as to Its political complexion and the issues which ure likely then to determine leadership are not easily made. How will the new issues affect the two parties? What will be the effect of this issue called “imperialism” by some of the democrats? Mr. Bailey and his followers took the ground that the annexa- tion of Hawaii would inaugurate “imperial- ism;"" but there were prominent democrats in both houses of the present Congress wha pooh-poohed that and voted for annexation. How many democrats throughout the coun- try will pooh-pooh the same argumenf as applied to questions growing out of the war with Spain? So far as the Chicago platform is con- cerned Mr. Bailey, Mr. De Armond and Mr. Richardson are on even terms, Ali three indorse that as cordially now as two years ago. But what will be the issues when the tifty-sixth Congress meets, and, if it con- trols the House, what position will the democracy as a party take on them? —__--- ee —__—_.

It is a piece of bunting lifted in the air, but it speaks sublimely, and every part has a voice. Its stripes of alternate red and white proclaim the original union of thirteen states to maintain the Declara- tion of Independence. Its stars of white on a field of blue proclaim that umn of states constituting our national constellation, which receives a new star with every state. The two together signify union, past and present. The very colors have a language, which was recognized by our fathers. White is for purity; rea for valor; blue for justice; and all together—bunting, stripes, stars and color—blazing in the sky, make the flag of our eountry, to be cherished by all our hearts, to be upheid by all our hands. -Friendship Based on Self Interest. Lendon Correspondence New York ‘Tribune. The American people have discovered during the last half year that their real friends in an emergency are in Engtand, and that with the good offices of the Brit- ish government assured to them they can be indifferent to continental opinion. This is not a matter of sentiment, but of practi- cal experience. The moral force of Eng- land has been exerted powerfully ‘n their faver: English friendship has been most helpful te them. On the other hani, the English people have not been called upon to make any sacrifice of principle or policy in promoting good feeling with America. They have been useful to America in a for- eign crisis, ard they have strengthencd their own pesition as a maritime power. When two naticns find out for themselves that when they are just, generous and helpful to each other they have a common share in the benefits of association and friendship, a practical basis for muta! service is established. Sentiment may have inspired, but self-interest has justi- fied, all the recent exhibitions of good feel- ing between England and America, and be cause this is so their friendship is not likely to prove transitory, but permenent. —— + ee -_____ No Continental Umpiring. From the Chicago Chronicle, In the present temper of the American nation it is as certain as anything can be that any proposition looking to a Euro- pean “congress” to pass upon terms of Peace between the United States and Spain will not be considered for a moment.
