England's Great Service. The good feeling existing in this country toward Mihgland will be materially in- creased by the revelation made in the July number of the London National Review re- specting England's action at the outset of our war with Spain in preventing a Euro- pean coalition against the United States. The story has for some time been current in the form of gosstp, but the editor of the National Review sets the seal of fact upon it. He gives it, as he claims, upon au- thority, The story intention f£ Cuba. fs that Europe conceived the making a European question She was, in effect, to take Spain's © and order the United States to keep hands off. France made the move, and Was seconded by Austria. Germany when approached approved, but pointed out the necessity of England's co-operation. When England was approached the proposition was promptly declined. Mr. Balfour, at the head of the foreign office in the absence of Lord Salisbury, refused absolutely to countenance it, and Sir Julian Pauncefote at this capital was advised accordingly. ‘Phat killed the proposition. Wthout Eng- land's aid it could not succeed, and Eng- land’s refusal of ald was was in substance a warning to Europe that a combination against the United States would result in bringing her Into the fleld as the active friend of the United States. That was a service of the highest im- portance, as any one may see who reflects upon what would have been the position of the United States had Europe, even with England as a passive observer, combined to lay down the law to this government with respect to Cuba. Such a challenge could not have been ignored, and yet the taking it up would have been to invite war with a combination possessing six times our strength on the sea, and standing armies of thousands to our hundreds. Eng- land objected, and the scheme came to naught Blood seribes thicker than water. England sub- » the sentiment and acts upon it. ‘The United States also subscribes to it. Of this land need be In no sort of doubt. It would seem to be impossible now for anything but friendship to characterize the future course of the two countries toward each other, or anything but good to the world to flow from their closer union and co-operation. oe Spain Must Pay. The latest advices from Madrid give the grcunds upon which the advocates there of e Test their argument. They hoid the United States has now reached the parting of the ways.

The battle of Manila would not have been fought, ror would the invasion of Porto Rico have been ordered. But Spain's “pride” and “honor” and other mysterious and mythical appendages forbade, and war was forced on eihe United States. Now Spain must pay, and her colonies are the only things of. value she has left. = A Spanish Compliment. A Madrid special notes that the reports of dissensions between the Americans and the Cubans are hailed with delight in Spain, the common belief being that the friction will lead to the ultimat® annexation of the island by the United States, which will be just punishment to the surgents—and guarantee “traitors”—the in- a safeguard to the numerous Spanish interests in Cuba. This is indeed a high compliment from Spaniards. Aside from any consideration of the future of Cuba, which is going to adjust itself to circumstances as they de- velop, it 's gratifying to observe that Span- jards realize the capacity of Americans for good government. Herein the subjects of the boy-king are more nearly right than they have shown themselves capable of being for many months of the recent past. ——_—_~e2—___ There is no harm in giving the Spanish prisoners thc freedom of Annapolis. For a Party of men who have been used to bul! fights and cacbuchas, lif? in the dignified Maryland capital is not likely to overflow with exuberance under any conditions. a Divided Spanish Opinion. De Lome and the pro-Spanish Americans differ as to the importance of General Garcta’s action at Santiago. The ex-Ambassador sees in it a source of ad- Vantage to Spain. The pro-Spanish Ameri- cans see in it a source of advantage—their idea of advantage—to the United States. Differences between the brethren are so Tare that this one is entitled to notice. Senor De Lome thinks that the split be- tween the insurgents and the Americans opens the way for peace between Spain and the United States. He probably thinks that the United States will be sobered up by a fear of having the insurgents for enemies as Spain has had them, and that the fear will operate to shape the future in some way to Spain's advantage. This is to com- pliment the insurgents—to invest them with an importance which Spain herself has not been able to command. They have made Cuba too hot for Spain, and now it is assumed that they will be able to make the island so unpleasant for the United States that the policy of this country in Senor insurgents of no importance wnatever. ‘They hold on tenaciously to the views they expressed when Sener De Lome was in office here. They are very glad to hear that the insurgents have cleared out in a huff from Santiago, and hope they may not return. They see in that action an excuse for ignoring in future the whole insurgent movement, and they advocate annexation and American control outright and for all time. These men, it is true, were content with Spanish rule in Cuba, and opposed American intervention, but now that inter- vention has taken place they want it car- ried so far that both the insurgents and Spain will lose. The insurgents are thus to be “punished” by the United States for Spain’s sake. What Spain could not eo the United States Is urged to do. Both Senor De Lome and the pro-Spanish Americans will be disappointed. There will be no permanent split between the United States and the insurgents. The insurgents wiil not become the enemies of the people who are sincerely their friends. Neither will the people of the United States deal the insurgents a foul and dishonorable blow by taking by force or chicanery from them the home they have been trying to make free. Spanish duplicity is not to be transplanted and made to become a work- able American policy. American annexa- tion of Cuba will come about only with the consent and in response to the desire of the Cubans themselves. Porte Rico, Hawaii and the Canal, In the years of anticipation concerning the construction of a canal connecting the Atlantic aad the Pacific there has occa- sionally been uneasiness in American minds les* if this canal were actually built under 4a rican auspices the lack of an outport in proper relation to its Atlantic mouth would prove an embarrassment in its cen- trol. Stretching around the proposed ter- minus of the canal on the eastern side is 1 range of islands of varying sizes, affording convenient resting points for the navies of various powers. England, with Jamaica and scores of more rortherly holdings, thus has a decidedly valuable base of opera- ticns. France has half a dozen smaller resting places sufficiently close to be of service in any demonstrations that might be deemed wise or necessary for interna- tional or commercial purposes. Spain's own insular possessions have never be2n seriously regarded, because of the weak- ness of her navy and the general decadence of her power. Germany has unquestiona- bly been looking anxiously about for an op- portunity to find a foot-hold in this chain of islands, but without success. Holland bas several holdings in the region. Now ccmes the United States with a bid for Pcrto Rico, based upon the American suc- cess in this war with Spain, and justified by the existing and prospective commercial developments of the isthmian situation. It is well, therfore, to bear in mind the value of Porto Rico in its relation to the pro- jected canal. It does not lie as advan- tageously im this connection as does Ja- maica, yet it is in the line of travel from Europe and commands the situation weil enough from the American standpoint. With our southern coast and perbaps at some time Cuba as the main base and Porto Rico an outpost the entrance to the canal will be well guarded. These consid- erations are nov to be taken into account, for it is plain that the time for the con- struction of the canal as an American en- terprise is at hand, after the long, tedious and costly wait necessitated by engineering difficulties and governmental hesitation. Scme meaas of quicker naval communica- tion between the AUantic and the Pacific bases than the long and often dangerous voyage around Cape Horn is essential. The trip of the Oregon settled that question. Three projects stand close together, Ha- wailan annexauon, isthmian canal con- struction and the securing of Porto Rico. ‘The last-named item of the new progress will bear the same relation to the canal on the cast as will Hawali on the west, ani thus all three, resulting from the war wita Spain, will place the United States in a stronger position than it has ever before exjoyed with regard to the rest of the world. —__ + +. — Who is to Blamet A small boy stepped cut upon a ba acer ot a Philadelphia house the other day, and, noticing a wire harging over the railing, he had took hold of it. In another moment was dead, electrocuted. That wire fallen from a line of what the tel and tel ph companies boastfully harmless conductors, but in falling { cressed a line of high pressure conductors, doubtless from an lighting plant, or perhaps one of the numerous overhead trolley lines which infest Philadelphia. At all events, the insignificant Iittle wire, which, if held in its right place, would rever do any one harm, became an ugency tor death. Whese the responsthility? Does it belong to the owner of the nor- mally harmless wire, or to the owner of the highly charged wire with which it came in contact? Does it rest upon the city. which permits the wires to remain abov> ground? Somebody should be hela accountable for the death of that boy,who is only one of the great army of victims of the arti-condult campaign, so vigorously ccnducted by the electrical compantes in every city. City councils, legislatures and houses of Congress all share in the burden of liability. If the citizens were to demand an accounting some strength might be given to the effort to secure the burial of the wires rather than the burial of tho people. is ————_+ +e ___ Some of Agninaldo’s official decorations ar 30 eccentric that they would attract notice even at a ceremonial occasion at a European court. ——————— + +2 —___ Sagasta’s determination to push the war is a horrible example of the desperation with which a man will sometimes hang onto the r-mnants of a political pull. ~ 202 Agriculturalists in the southern states will offer no complaint because the Vesuvius has so effectually discouraged any Spanish cemand for gun-cotton. oe New York city is frank in acknowledging that a man of Theodore Roosevelt's fighting qualities is very handy for a republic to have around. ——_—- +e The American “Rush.” In the discussion of the proposition to give all passengers on street cars seats, precipitated locally by the disaster on the Capital Railway line and elsewhere by the introduction of “no seat no fare” ordi- nances, much ts said by the opponents of the plan about the uselessness of undertak- ing it on the score that the American tem- perament will not adjust itself to such a restriction. This is a false position, and it is to be suspected that it is fostered by the corporations, which are strongly urged by their greed to maintain a minimum of ser- vice in accommodating a maximum of pa- tronage. When it is pointed out that the “no seat no fare” rule is enforced in Paris and other cities of Europe it is answered that, while this may be all very well abroad, it would never do here, where the populace fs given to rushing, is’ content with crowding and is not disposed to wait for conveniences at the sacrifice of a few precious minutes. In other words, it is ar- gued that the nervous, restless Americans must be humored in their bad habit of piling pell-mell over each other in their supposedly sagacious appreciation of the value of time. Nothing must be done to check the alleged feverishness in the na- tional temperament. This position is un- tenable, The scenes enacted on some of the THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JULY 25, 1898-12 PAGES. street railway cars of the greater cities of this country disgrace American civiliza- tion. The selfishness, often brutality, dis- played in the eagerness of would-be pas- sengers to secure seats cannot be gratify- ing to domestic students of national man- ners, however pleasing it may be to foreign observers. Were it an absolute necessity it might in some measure be excused. The assymption that it is needful is false. It is merely an acceptance of what the citi- zens believe to be an inevitable condition of modern times. It is a surrender to what some regard as a superior power. Yet it can be met and cured if the citizens will but apply the remedy at their hands. In every community the weapon is ready for use. The ballot, reaching the city’s com- mon council and the state’s legisiature, will work wonders if honestly and con- scientiously used. Good municipal govern- ment is at the bottom of the case. When that is secured the bad street railway con- ditions, that are steadily growing worse in many communities, will be curable. The chief reliance of New Yorkers for a relief from their inexpressibly wretched street transportation Hes in the subway scheme, which is pronounced entirely feasible, yet is side-tracked because of the potent influ- ence in politics of this or that corporation. Until the municipality frees itself from these conditions it will suffer. Meanwhile the blame for overcrowding due to inade- quate transperistion facilities is laid at the doors of # irsicion, assiduously fos- teted by the corporetions and other influ- ences, that the American temperament wlil not endure the check of a decent transit system and that it would savor of national heresy to ask the people to pause in their mad rush to accommodate themselves to a street car system sufficiently broadened to accommodate the people’s reasonable de- mands. ++.

Harold Frederic in Philadelphia Press. There is no feeling whatever in England against Watson's coming over and doing what he likes. If he consulted English de- sires, he would, first of all, take Ceuta and pledge Amertea to hold it forever. This Ceuta will later become a very familiar word in the world’s ears. I men- tioned last winter England's suspicions that the French were intriguing with Spain to secure it and ever since that a British squadron has been patroling those waters to prevent any sudden French naval de- scent on it. If Watson does come over, there will un- doubtedly be a hue and cry raised in the monarchist and whig papers of Paris for French intervention. But it seems in- credible that either Faure or Brisson will be moved by this clamor, which the “Fi- garo” has already started. If, however, they did essay action, England would come into the thing at once. 4 ——__- + + = ____ We Should Build Speedy Ships. From the Baltimore American. ‘The naval cperations in the West Indies have shown 38 clearly as the light that the capital defect of battle ships is their lack of speed. In the great battle fought by Cemmodore Schley had the Brooklyn, his flagship, been absent, one of the enemy's vessels would certainly have escaped, and perhaps more. Speed works both ways. It helps to overhaul an enemy and it enables a ship to get awey from an enemy which is too powerful. ——_21+e—_—___ A Wretched and Senseless Custom, From the New York Tribune.
