The at Manila between Admiral Dew Admiral Diederichs, command- friction ing German naval forces at that point, sho! rb Am: cans. The various incidents suggestive of a German disposi- tion to intervene in the situation have in- variably been followed by such temporary the Ame ‘an demands that Germany is not ready to pitate an open quarrel, and in all like- permitting her officers to ns without actually com- ing to the breaking point or intending to do so. Admiral Dewey has in each case acted entirely within his own right, as re- gards the blockading and policing of the harbors, which he is guarding in the inter- with ests of the United States. The interfer- ence of the Irene at Subig bay was ob- viously unjustifiable. The later affair in Manila bay. when Dewey sent a shot across the bows of the same offending cruiser, was based upon the right of the Amer ommander to enforce his block- ade of the harbor regardless of the char- acter of the ships entering or anchoring there. bie. The German contention was a quib- Had there been no previous disegree- . had the Germans formerly acted in jent good faith toward the Americans * would have been no need for this peremptory command to submit to the American regulations. What has happened makes it incumbent upon Dewey to seru- tinize closely ry act of the German agents and to regard with suspicion every- thing attempted or afcomplished by them. They have earned this distrust. In the be- ning the appearance of a powerful Ger- man naval force at the Philippines to cope with an insignificant necessity gave point- ed suggestion of an ulterior design incom- Patible with the friendly protestations of the government's agents. The later affairs @re the logical consequences of this first false step. Meanwhile the firm American attitude has had its wholesome effect in Berlin and other European capitals, and every surface indication goes to show that henceforth the American program in the Philippines will suffer no interference or hindrance. A less capable commander than Dew either a more radical or a more complacent one, would perhaps have caused Serious trouble ere now by permitting the commission of overt acts of intervention or by resisting them in a manner which the occasion did not require. Dewey seems thus far to have hit upon the happy and effective medium. ——_-e-—____ In Vienna is a monkey that rides a bi- The German emperor's ambition to be ® soloist will sooner or later cause trouble in the harmoay of Europe. ——_~+++_____ The Basque People.

They are to. day one of the most interesting groups of peop! the world, owing to this trait of adherance to traditions and customs.

Among the quaint customs which these people hav? preserved is the rendition of semi-re- ligious performanc somewhat akin to the “miracle plays” of medieval times, ard rot unlike some of the allegorical dances of the North American Indians in the gro- tesque contortions of the participants. | ihese plays or dances are often eight or rine enjoy hours in rencition, and are greatly @ by the populace, with an entire lac outward evidences of applause save at critical junctures in the action, when pistol shots often serve to express the over-wrought feelings of the on-lookers. The Basques have for some time been par- tially outlawed by the Spanish government for their aaherance to the Carlist preten- sions. As a purishment for their partici- patign in one of the Carlist uprisings the government took from the Basques the remnants of thelr ancient “fueros” or priv- i which had been won through their stinguished services tn war and other emergeacies in the past. These “fueros” tended to create more or less independert Provinces, often absolving the favore@ ne2- ple from the burden of certain taxes. The withdrawal of all such special privileges from the Basques brought them nearer :o participation in the Spanish monarchy as a component part than ever before, but present and impending events may serve to show that this allegiance has been com- pulsorr. The chief hope of the Pretender lies in the fidelity of the Basque peonle to him and in their fierce fighting qualities. ———_ + +e Spanish Distinctions Must Disappenr. If there is to be independent government in Cuba—and the United States is so com- mitted—it must be representative govern- ment. The people must stand on an equal- ity before the law. They are to be free to choose their own pub! vants—who are to be pubife servants and not masters— to make thelr own laws. and to conduct their private affairs within prescribed lm- its. The new order of things, in a word, must be exactly the opposite of the old order of thin All of thi to consider it trite enough, but it is well now that the old order is passing away. Under that order the Cu- ban has been a despised cre: e, kept under t harrow, in his own country. Every means has been employed to pros- trate him and tread him into the carth. He has been shut out from preferment and fed upen husks. The Jew in Russta has hardly had a poorer chance. The fa- vorites have been the Spanish born and their descendants. They have monopolized the honors and the emolumenis of life, have worn the purple and fine linen and pe ed the Cubans by with fine scorn But, notwithstanding, the Cubans have made progress. Some of the most learned and useful men in the island are Cubans and this successful revolt against Spain has been organized and conducted by them, The point of emphasis is that under popu- lar government In Cuba tl e distinctions cannot prevail. They must disappear with the Spanish flag which has fostered them. All citizens of the new government will be Cui Their allegiance will ba due and must be rendered to the Cuban flag, re- gardless of where they may e been born, or of any distinction or privileges may have enjoyed under Spanish rule.

It will be no easy matter to »stablish free government on the ruins of a hideous Spanish despotism. But there will be no more trouble experienced from one side than from the other. The native Cuban will be no more assertive of his new rights than the Spanish born will be obstinate in giving up his old ones. ——_~+2—___ The Funk Capture. The report of the capture of the fugitive Funk, charged with murder in this city, is most gratifying to the citizens of the Dis- trict. as it is unquestionably to the mu- ricipal and police authorities. The man seemed to have disappeared entirely from zight, and despite every effort to appre- hend him his taking was aBparently as far off as ever. But he ts now, it is sald, in custody, a prisoner in a distant city, and Tis return here and his trial are to be re- garded as certain. ‘his success is the more pleasing in view of the recent {Il- luck of the police force in dealing with capital cases where the criminals have not been taken on the spot. It appears from this affair that the detective bureau handled the case energetically and intelli- gently, and went to the limit of its re- sources to effect Funk's apprehension. It was aided in its efforts by the minute de- scription of the man obtained at the time of his enlistment in the army. The Ber- Ullon system of identitication thus receives additional proof of value, and the advis- ability of its general adoption by every police bureau is demonstrated. The cir- cular sent out by the thousands to every nook and corner of the United States re dered easy Funk's identification, and fur- nishes reasonable ground of belief that the man has now been caught, though definite ccrroboration of the telegram to that effect is as yet.lacking.

The time for a nation at war to sue for peace comes when one or the other of the combatants realizes that no possible turn of fortune can bring vietery or even the continued repulse of the enemy. In this war Spain hax no hope left remaming to her. In no phase of the confliet can she expect success. Henceforth her fight wiil be defensive and against a vastly superior foe, in point of resources and numbers. However long or short the vista of her vision, there can be nothing visible at the end but defeat. The fall of Santiago prov- ed that Spain is the inferior combatant on land as well as at sea. As soon as that fact became patent the time to open peace negotiations arrived. Yet Spain hesitates, ignoring the fact that each day adds to the burden of indemnity which she must carry. War is maintained at a heavy cost, and particularly such a war as this, involving the shipment of large bodies of men and vast stores of supplies across the sea. When the final accounting comes these facts ana items will be considered. Prompt- ness In asking for a cessation of postilities would be an excellent money investment, representing perhaps many millions saved from loss. And with each day of cam- paigning, American campaigning, the Span- ish military position becomes more desper- ate and the amount of war indemnity to be paid by Spain increases. Thus Spain has everything to gain from a speedy plea for peace, and everything to lose from a prolongation of the war. Were Spain in a normal domestic condition an appreciation of this plain fact would doubtless soon be made evident through the opening of peace negotiations, but it is clear that the gov- ernment at Madrid finds itself confronted with a most serious problem, involving the national integrity. The angry growlings of the radical elements of all classes have suggested a prolongation of the war as a means of self-defense against these dan- gerous factors. The Carlists are preparing tor an uprising, taking advantage of the threatened popular indignation against the government for its faflure to achieve a victory. To yield now to the force of the United States would prove a good bargain in international dealings. but it might pre- cipitate a revolution carrying down the entire national fabric. The attitude of England is calculated to cause surprise that there should have been any prospect of difficulty over a few seals and a boundary line. ——__<--+______ The American way of treating prisoners of war is calculated to arouse a great deaf of discontent among those who were not captured. —++-s—____ Admiral Diederichs will now be closely watched for lese majeste symptoms. —___ « + SHOOTING STARS.

C., 1s pondering over awful lesson of an overcrowded trolley on which the brak> chain broke while the car was rushing down a hill. The brake was the common, inadequate contrivance, the single chain, found on trolleys everywhere, including Manhattan and Brooklyn. When the chain gav2 way the motorman was helpless. He applied the “reverse; that is, he tried to check the speed of the car by re- versing the motor. But the sp2ed was too great then. There was one other recourse, which was not attempted. This was to ap- ply the brake on the rear platform; but the. conductor of the car says the platform was so crowd2d with passengers that he could not have turned the brake handle if he could have reached it. Before the car fin- ished its dash down the hill, to wind up by smashing into another car, the motorman saved himself by jumping, while nearly 2verybody else on the same platform was seriously injured. That only one person was killed outright is one of the inexplica- ble features of such disasters. Of the sixty or more passengers on the car few escaped without injury, whil> several are not ex- pected to live. The accident calls attention to a woful lack of proper equipment for the standard trolley car used for excursion purposes.’ In Brooklyn there are hundreds of these hug> cars, heavier than an ordinary raflroad coach, whose only safeguard is one single chain connecting a primitive brake. It is amazing that railroads can be so shog- sighted or that legislation on the subject has been so overlooked, Refrigerator —HAS XO EQUAL. Chests, $5.50—Uprights, $12 up.
