American Control in Cuba. The President's proclamation providing temporary government for Santiago and vicinity is in accord with the plain necessi- ties of the case. The American flag is flying there, and that fixes uvon this gov- ernment the responsibility for law and or- It must call der while the flag stays up. to aid in discharge of this duty the best of local agencies, and by all good means at its command subserve the ends of pe and contribute to the rehabilita- tion of the conquered territory. Presumat too, as the campaign in the island progresses similar steps will follow t ess of the American arms. If Cuba is to fall into our hands piecemeal, Ameri- can military control will be asserted and established wherever the Spanish flag is lowered. Then will come the day when Spal finally defeated, and when the American flag flies all over the island and American control is complete. A centrali- zation of authority must then take place and a general system of control established. The United States will stand as the victor over Spain, and Cuba and her fortunes *will rest under the protection of American guns. How long this situation is to continue will in the nature of things depend on the people of Cuba. Permanent military con- trol is not only not desired by them, but is not on the American cards. The war is being fought to give freedom to Cuba, but freedom, of course, which shall be enjoyed by all the people in the island. The new civil government when set up must be able to sustain itself, must have the assent and confidence of the people, and must repre- sent in its purposes the general welfare. Factionalism or revenge should have no part in its organization, nor be permitted to direct any of its policies. In a word, when the war is over and Spain is done for, the people of Cuba must get together. Not those merely who with their hands arms in fought Spain to a standstill. Not merely those large prop- erty owners, who although tired of Span- ish misrule were yet unwilling to take the ow it and stood thus jevil and the deep sea. But of Cuba whose fortunes are island, and who, for Then it will be stable, and the rican flag can safely give place to the flag. ———_ ++ —____ Porto Rico. Some so-called authorities and a scatter- ing of plain citizens are voicing their dcubts as to the propriety of the Unit2d States taking possession of Porto Rico as a result of this war with Spain. There are two good reasons why Porto Rico should become American territory, and these rea- sens are sufficient to smother th> weak- voiced cavillings of all critics. The first reason is that Porto Rico will make a valu- able bit of American territory, useful as a ecmmercial outpost and as a naval station, such as this country has needed for many years. The second reason is that the motives underlying the effort to rid Cuba of Spanish rule are potent to cause the people of this country to desire that the same process be applied to Cuba's smaller sister in the Antilies. The conditions that have led up to this war of intervention threaten to de- velop in the other island if Spain is per- ain in poss ‘Theoreti- a ber in Porto er been in Cuba.

Hill has frequently been re- ferred to as politically dead. He makes a lively ghest. ‘* Solicttude for Cuba. The New York correspondent Philadelphia Press stat. of the . On what he as- serts is h authority,” that, when terms of peace come to be formally discussed be- tween Spain and the United States, “Spain Will insist that the United States consent to do one of two things with respect to Cu- ba. First, to agree to submit to a plebiscite of all of the population of Cuba competent to vote the question whether Cuba shall or shall not come under the sovereignty of the United States: or, in the second place, the United States must pledge itself in its treaty with Spain that it will establish a government in Cuba and maintain |+ long enough to make it plain to the people of Cuba that it will be adequate, satisfactory @nd permanent, and that, while any gov- ernment that the United Stztes may aid in establishing there is being put to the test, the United States shall maintain its au- thority or its protection.” Would it not be better for Spain to say nothing about Cuba on that occasion? When her flag comes down as the result of her long criminal misgovernment there her right to speak will cease. From that time the question of government for Cuba will become one for the United States and the people of Cuba to settle, and they are en- tirely competent for the task. Congress by its action has forestalled the matter ofa plebiscite. Theresolution asserts that the people of Cuba “of a right ought to be free.” They had for three years been valiantiy fighting for freedom, and Con- @ress voted that by their valor they had earned what they had been striving to achieve. And still further to emphasize fhet fact, it incorporated in its resolution a atosomont, in effect, that the United States had no selfish designs on Cuba. In the opinion of the United States, therefore, the people of Cuba have already declared for freedom. Respecting the protection which the Unit- ed States should afford in Cuba pending the establishment of the new order of things, that may with entire safety be left to the United States to decide. The Star Saturday made some observations on this subject. The responsibility is with the United States, and it may be relied upon to appreciate it fully and meet it thoroughly. ‘The new government must not only be sta- ble, but satisfactory to all interests con- cerned. Life and property must be secure, and law-abiding people of all classes must be free to work out their own legitimate ends. In a word, where Spain erected and maintained a bloody despotism, a free gov- ernment, of, by, and for the people, ts to rise. Spain need not, and should not be permit- ted to concern herself further about Cuba. Her failure has been monumental and criminal. A worse government than hers has been is not possible in the island, and an infinitely better one will be established without any suggestions from her what- ever. After she has thoroughly considered the meaning of that piece of red sandstone the future proceedings ought to interest her no more. ——_+ «= —___ Gen. Blanco for Revenge. A member of the staff of General Blanco, in denying the. report that his chief at- tempted suicide when informed of Admiral Cervera’s defeat, is quoted as saying: aly erday I heard him say he re- groviod not being younger, s0 as 10 be able to consecrate his life to fighting the na- tion which intends to humiliate his beloved countr, If this correctly represents General Blan- co's feelings, and if a similar spirit ani- mates the bosoms of other Spanish lead- ers, military and civil, Spain's future is hopeless, indeed. If when Spain lays down her arms in this fight it is to be with the intention of renewing it upon good oppor- tunity, and her young men are to be nour- ished upon hopes of revenge on the United States by a bloody play for even, then she must be stark mad. We have seen France commit such folly. She yielded to Germany, but has ever since cherished hopes of revenge. Her whole policy since that war has been pitched in the key of revenge. The world has steadily and rapidly been advancing. New fields have been opening up and great enterprises projected, but in the main France has lived in the past and been incapable of forgetting Alsace and Lor- raine. she must have them back at any cost and inflict upon Germany a humiliat- ing defeat. She has steered her course ac- cordingly, and the result is, as ex-Ambas- sador Eustis very forcibly pointed out last year in the July number of ihe North American Review, she has passed from a first te a second-class power. She has thrown herself hysterically into the arms of Russia upon terms which promise her nothing, but Russia everything. She 18 further today from accomplishing her one pet object than she was twenty years ago. Is Spain to ground arms and then retire to pi t plans for recovering her lost possessions? Are her leaders to cast about for allies to assist in punishing the United States «nd in running up the Spanish flag again ~vhere it is now coming down? Are the you>g men to “consecrate” their lives, as Gen ral Blanco would his if he were young “gain, to fighting the United States? There is nothing for Spain in that direc- tion. \vhat she is losing now she is losing for all time. Her inability to cope with the United States will become greater from year to year. The one country is in the forward rank of the nations and will re- main there, advancing with them and con- Stantly becoming more powerful. The oth- er, inevitably, faces a long perlod of de- pression and a constantly diminishing prestige. ——_~++s____ The midsummer silliness concerning the Spanish naval prisoners now in American hands, to which The Star referred yester- lay, has alréady reached its logical ex- treme in the proposition emanating from Port Tampa to raise a fund to buy a home on Tampa Bay for Cervera in recognition of his humane treatment of Hobson, when © latter was captured at Santiago. If this be other than a real estate boom, which it strongly suggests, it is to be dis- uraged as one of the most idiotic ente: prises rtaken by supposedly sens bl2 people: vera did nothing to Hob- n but that which 1s to be expected from commander in time of war. In all liklihood he had very little to do with the young constructor, who was quickly treat- ed as a prisoner of the military commander and not of the admiral. 5 —++-+____ A good deal of “flag raising” is being écne just now by Americans. Sunday the republic's starry banner was hoisted over the palace roof at Santiago. A few days ago the same emblem was raised over Cavite arsenal, near Manila. On their way over to the Philippines the men of the cruiser Charleston replaced the Spanish colors at the principal island of the La- drone group with the Stars -and Stripes. Probably by now the same thing has bee: done at the capital of the Carolines. Very shortly the glorious old flag wiil float per- manently from the same staff in Honolulu from which it was taken down in 1893 by orders of President Cleveland. San Juan, Porto Rico, will scon witness the same performance, while the day when Old Glory floats over Havana cannot be far distant. 2 0 oe If Santiago should ever, in the course of future events, become American territory it ought to be renamed. Several possibili- ties are now at hand with historical and military suggestiveness in each ese. Shaf- terville, or Milesburg, or Sampsontown, or Schiey’s Corners, or perhaps Hobson’s Landing, would sound well to American ears. San Jago, the original of the present name, is a bit too Spanish for all patriotic purposes. —- ee ____ The fact that Spain’s finances keep get- ting further and further from a gold basis tails te inspire an atom of sympathy in Col. Bryan's mind. ——— The rumor that Aguinaldo has considered an alliance with the Spaniards is probably a malicious invention intended to injure his political prospects. + 0 General Blanco will have an opportunity of showing other generals just how he would have them behave when called on to surrender. + 6 Admiral Dewey always thinks before he speaks. The beauty about him is that he is a lightning thinker. ++ The District Troops in Good Health. The brief bulletin in The Star from its special correspordents at the front, re- ceived today, regarding the good health of the District troops is exceedingly gratify- ing and reassuring. In the reports of the fever's spreal thus far no mention has been made ‘n the official or unofficial dis- patches of those who had become infected and it has been in consequence impossible to ascertain whether individual soldiers or particular organizations had fallen vic- tims to the scourge. This policy 1s doubt- less wise, because the regular noting of the individuals who are taken to the hos- pita! for fever treatment would keep the country in a copstant state of alarm and apprehension. Today's dispatch to The Star shows that the fever has not reached the District regiment and that the men are comfortable and happy. Previous informa- tion indicated that they were stationed on THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1898-12 PAGES the helghts north of Santiago, and that they moved there rapidly as soon as landed, and that they have not conse- quently camped at any time in an infected district. There is some question whether they will be sent to Porto Rico. The bri- gade to which they formerly belonged is to go from Tampa, and as they are not trou- bied with yellow fever, and are an ex- tremely efficient and well-equipped reg- iment, it may be considered wise to send them along. —___+ 0+ _____ “The spreading mango tree” under which it is said Gens. Toral and Miles met for the final negotiations for the surrender of Santiago will go down in history alongside’ of the Appomattox apple tree. If now some discriminating correspondent will kindly identify the species of tree that Gen. Wheeler climbed the better ‘the Spaniards-for to see,” much will be added to the arboricultural chapter of the cam- paign. ++ It is to be hoped that there will be no cruel and inhuman effort to ruin Cervera’s constitution with pink teas. ——____« ¢ «—_____- This movement to buy Tampa real estate for Cervera is calculated to make the Duke of Veragua jealous. 2+ Sagasta’s determination to proceed to the bitter end is accompanied by lamentable difficulty in recognizing his destination. ————++2e—___ ‘The German emperor ought to talk the situation over with Bismarck before un- dertaking any definite Philippine policy. -] SHOOTING STARS. An Economist Repulsed. “We ought to keep a regular account of receipts and expenditures,” said the prac- tical politician's wife. “What for?” “So that ycu can show just what money you have and how you got it.” “Great Scott! That’s just what we're trying not to let on about!” A Mocking Reminder. Life’s ironies afflict his soul And crush him altogether When he beholds that pile of coal Left o'er from winter weather. Theorizing. “Now,” said the professor, “supposing. that by some convulsion of nature portions of the earth now under water would be- come dry land, what would-be the most prominent characteristic of the landscape?” And the summer girl, who was trying to suppress a yawn, replie “Spanish warships. An Overwhelming Demand. “Do your constituents seem inclined to accept your explanations?” inquired the congressman's friend. “I should say so,” was the reply. ‘They keep asking for more and more till I get clean tired of trying to give encores.” A Promise. “Now, Josiar,” said Mrs. Corntossel, “I don’t want you to have nothin’ to do with any games of chance while you're in town.” “*Mandy,” he answered, “I won't. “I'll take pains to hunt up some of them sure- thing games I've hear’n tell about.” An Exhortation. The Spanish general looked fierce, And called his men around. “Fight to the las he loudly cried, “Don't yield an inch of ground. “Remember, if you make a stand In resolute array, It will facilitate my chance Of getting safe away. “And though you meet with sore defeat And find your spirit shaken, You still may think, with honest pride, ‘Our general saved his bacon.’” An Uncommonly Good Lot of Men, From Life. War is an abominable business, but what an uncommonly good lot of men we have managed to put into it! How brave, how patient, how efficient, how merciful! | Kill- ing Spanish soldiers and sailors and de- stroying ships and property is sorrowful work, but if we are to do it, we like to see it done as it has been done at Santiago. Santiago has proved a pretty dear acquisi- tion, and taught us that on shore, at least, the Spanish can fight. But the land fight. ing there led to that wonderful sea fight, which made the game, as a whole, worth the candle. Information About “Teddy” Roosevelt. From the London (England) Sun, A Madrid paper announces that “the commander-in-chief of the American army is one Ted Roosevelt, formerly a New York policeman,” who was “born near Harlem,” “emigrated to America when young,” and was educated at “Harvard Academy, a commercial, school’ (there being “no uni- versities or colleges in America”), and that his “bodyguard is fittingly termed ‘rough rioters.’ ” ‘The journalistic methods of por- tions of the wild, wild west are infecting even Spain. _—__so_____—_— Send More Missionaries. From the New York Tribune, Some German missionaries went to China and got killed by a mob, whereupon Ger- many, by way of indemnity, seized a Chi- nese port and the adjacent territory. And now a German consul! general, in an official report, dwells upon the desirability of get- ting still more Chinese territory, and says the easiest way to do so is to send more missionaries! Talk about cold-bloodedness! That suggestion is enough to send cold shivers down the spine of the most heart- less cynic in the world. ———_s+oe—__ Vicious Immigrants. From the Youth's Companion. For the murder of a woman in Mulberry street, New York, five Italians were arrest- ed. They had been only a few years in this country, and the detectives decided to look up their “records,” in the prefecture of po- lice at Naples. It turns out that one of them was convicted nine times, in Italy, of theft and blackmail; another, sixteen times, of assault, blackmail and attempt at mur: der; two others, six and nine times, respec- tively, of various crimes: and the fifth, twenty-one times, of assault, theft and at- tempt at murder. Of course it is well for Italy that another nation stands ready to take such scoundrels off her hands. But, really, should we lose anything—except a reputation for soft-headed hospitality—if we enacted immigration laws that would keep them out? ee a The Inglorious Seventh, From the Philadelphia Press.
