Particular mention was made of this. Had the United States sufficiently considered that it was to serve such peo- pie that war with Spain was on? Could they have seen them at home before war was declared would their cause have been championed? Had not a fanciful estimate of the Cubans been employed to influence public sentiment in the United States? These same things were said to the Union forces who went south during the civil war. They were told that the abolitionists had Imposed a@ faise picture on the north; that the blacks were not worthy of what the north was trying to do for them. But the argument did not prevail.

Cross-road interpretations and applications of Washington's farewell address will be quite as ineffective. What the people want to know is what their danger is, if they are in danger. They know that Rome fell, and they still greatly reverence the wisdom of Washington, but a very important con- dition confronts them and they must deal with it according to twentieth century Ughts and duties. Any information or sug- gestions bearing directly on the subject will be thankfully recetved by the public. in the Hous> took the ground In a caucus resolution that the annexation of Hawait would inaugurate a policy of imperialism. Surely the democratic party will not plant itself upon that. Some of its most promi- nent members in both houses of Congress yoted for annexation, and the country gen- erally applauds the action taken. Will the selzure and annexation of Porto Rico be a step in the dangerous direction? If Spain is so undesirable as a neighbor that we are driving her out of Cuba, should we leave her in possession of Porto Rico? Besides, Porto Rico in the Atlantic ts the equivalent of Hawali in the Pacific in the matter of our contro! of the Nicaragua canal. We need them both. We shall have them both. And the country will approve. Evidently, then, the danger line has not yet been reached. Where may it be traced? What step will distinctly disclose a turn in our affairs dangerous to the continuation of our institutions as founded by the fathers? Nobody is proposing to annex China, or Australia, or the whole of the West Indies. What, then, causes the alarm? What explains this outburst as i. a great gulf opened just in front of us? The United States has not lost its head because of its victories over Spain.” They were expected. It has not become delirious at finding itself pretty strong on the sea. It has no thought of turning swashbuckler and offering té lick creation, and then of looting everybody it does lick. If this talk about imperialism simply expresses a fear that a little success may swell and turn the heads of the American people it is not the kind of contention upon which a na- tional election may be won. — 2 0 oe Present and Prospective War Moves. The campaign against Spain is just at present in a transitory condition, pending the transfer of active operations from San- tiago to Porto Rico and the arrival of ad- ditional troops at Manila to support Ad- miral Dewey. The next moves will not fall in importance below the standard already set in the war. Porto Rico will be invested within a few days, Manila may likew have been occupied by the American forces while Commodore Watson's squadron may have departed to Europe on its errand of peace-making by force. After delays that have been variously explained and guessed about by the war gossips Gen. Miles has rted for the island which the United States is to occupy permanently as a war indemnity. He is accompanied by a large body of soldiers and a squadron sufficiently strong to co-operate efficiently with the land forces and ensure a successful assault upon San Juan. The active operations in Porto Rico will probably begin early next week and a few days hence may bring news of the complete occupation of the i land. Unlike the campaign in Cuba that in the smaller island will probably be deter- mined by the assault upon a single city, San Juan, which practically represents the sum total of Spanish power in the colony. The news from Manila indicates that Dewey is steadily being reinforced to fight- strength, though there is reason to be- lieve that the Monterey will not arrive for a fortnight, owing to the difficulties of her voyage. There is no present reason, how- ever, to fear that Dewey’s availabl2 naval force The not suffice for all purposes. growing aggressiveness of Aguinaldo pre- sents perplexing possibilities of trouble with him. The latest bulletin announces that he has prociaimed himself dictator and placed the territory under martial law. Just how far his pretensions to independ- ent authority and power are serious and threatening future events alone can show. There is yet nothing in the situation to warrant the belief that the United States will not be able to carry out its final con- clusions with regard to the Philippines whatever may be the attitude of the Eu- ropean powers or of the insurgents. There is reasoa to believe that this gov- ernment wiil net hasten in the matter of sending Commodore Watson to Spain. The announcement of the purpose to effect a naval demonstration off the coast of Spain, to pursue Camara’s squadron and perhaps to proceed all the way to Manila, d Spain to turn right-about and re- ara’s squadron, abandoning its bluff of sending a naval force against Dewey. But the Watson expedition was intended for an additionai and even more important purpose than this, namely, to present to the eyes of the people of Spain a visible evidence of the American power, in order bring them to a realization of the hope ess of (he struggle. Since Porto Kico is to held by the United States our government will nazurally re- frain from sending Watson to push Spain peaceward until Porto Rico has been con- quered and occupied.

Lis ts an unfortunate mistake, as it raised hopes the police and citizens of Washington and serves to cast some doubt upen the intelligence of the average Ameri- can mayor. The circular sent out in de- scription of Funk is so complete in its minute notes of personal marks that it seems incredible that anybedy could well mistake his identity. It was this fact that caused the mayor's original telegram to be accepted as reliable evidence that Funk had been taken. But now the search must be resumed and the congratulations showered upon the detectives for their gcod fortune are to be temporarily with- drawn. be ——_ + ee — —__ A New York hotel waiter traveled across the ocean as the equal of a number of prominent people.

Nipe bay is, in- deed, the largest of Cuban inlets, being about fifteen miles long from the narrow entrance to the head and six miles wide at the narrowest point. Several small is- us occur within and the place is an ideal anchorage for a vast fleet. Being on the horth shore it is more sheltered from the tropical storms than are those on the south, and the high lands to jhe south- west afford a convenient buffer from the gales. The bay is peculiarly well located for American purposes in view of the pending enterprise against Porto Rico, for it lies directly on the way of transports and cruisers from these shores to San Juan and is thus rauch more convenient for American military purposes than Santiago, which lies around the end of the Island, considerably ont of the way. There ts no large town on Nipe bay, the settlements be- ing insignificact, save in the case of one town, Mayart Abajo, located a short dis- tance back from the shore. The reports tell of the destruction of a cruiser, one of the fleet of small ships scattered here and there in Cubon waters now being grad- ually run down and either sunk or cap- tured by the American nava! forces.

The affair at Manzanillo was one of these enterprises, resulting in considerable loss to the Span- jards without inflicting any dam ige upon the American vessels.

From Santiago Correspondence of the New York Sun. On Sunday morning, near Gen. Shafter’s headquart a dozen wounded Spaniards were having their wounds dressed. One young fellow who was shot through both legs lay on the ground. The éurgeon was trying to ask him to move his leg so that his boot could be vnlaced, when Mr. Charles Pe pper, the Washington (Star) correspond- ‘olunteered to act as interpreter. ‘g down to the Spaniard he gave th? as is the Spanish custom, he prefaced his remark with “Amigo.” In- stantly the young Spaniard’s face lightened with amazement and delight. He grasped Mr. Pspper by the hand and exclaimed in- credulously. “Thou callest me frienc Mr. Pepper explained the remark to the two other corresnondents with him, and when thy, too, shook hands with the Span- iard and helped the surgeon to uniace his shoes it was really a study to watch the surprised expressions of the other Span- iards. Prisoners of Honor. From the Army and Navy Register. We observe with some amazement that the people of Annapolis are disposed to re- gard the Spanish prisoners of war as guests of honor; that they are anxious to extend to them more than the ctvilities of the oc- casion and the circumstances; that they are on the verge of that frenzy which makes the desperate murderer a hero and gives to crime the reward of virtue. We trust the reports from Annapolis are exaggerated, and that for the sake of the dignity and’ self-respect of their country- men and women the residents of Annapolis will not overstep the bounds of civility and make Admiral Cervera and his asso- clates the object of wanton charity and maudlin hospitality. We imagine an officer of Cervera’s age, experience and percep- tion will receive all such advances as quite unpatriotic and misplaced. It is quite as generous in its way as anything to the other extreme, and those who spend their lavish store in entertaining these officers— who led a hostile fleet and who are still staunch subjects of a government at war with our own—are forgetful of the time and ef current events. They are unmind- ful of the American officers educated at Annapolis who are serving their country and who have before them yet the dan- gers of war. The gallantry and the brav- ery of Cervera and his captains demand admiration, perhaps, just as the brave of all nations in ail times gain the applause of their enemies, but these prisoners of war—tlately bent on using their resources far the destruction of our ships and anx- ious yet, if they are the patriots they should be, for the defeat of our forces on land and sea—are entitled to nothing more than the courtesy due to rank, and the government may be depended upon to see that they are decently and civilly treated. ———+e¢2_____ Dealing With the Cubans. From the Springfield Republican, Now, it is obvious that we cannot go among these peopie in tropical lands and maintain pleasant relations with them if we hold them rigidly to our standards, It cannot be done without appearing to them as narrow, intolerant and oppressive. We must know their language, we must he tol- erant of their customs, we must be ehar- itable toward their failings, we must rec- ognize their inheritances, and, finally, we must not assume to be perfection our- selves. There is real danger that in our impatience to achieve quick results, in our nvasterful desire to run things, in our con- ceit ,of transcendent superiority over all the rest of "the world, we shall unduly an- tagonize weaker races and end by simply pushing them to the wall. If we are to be fear helpers and protectors, rather an conquerors, We must use the weapons of knowledge and toleration, and lead by the persuasiveness of sympat) rather than brute force.
