No Armistice. Spain may or may not want an armistice. She probably does. It would play into her hands as matters stand It would cost her nothing. She is active only on the defense. An armistice, therefore, would simply mean a suspensipn of activity on the part of the United Scates, whose arms on sea and land have proved to be irresistible. The United States would simply agree not to strike again pending a pow wow, when its ar- rangements to strike, and to strike effect- Ively, are everywhere complete, and when every consideration of prudence and com- mor. sense counsels a vigorous prosecution of the war. A proposal for an armistice is a confes- sion of defeat. When the pinch came in Spain, it will be remembered, de- an armistice. The insurgents were sulted, and laughed at the maneu- partition of the world’s navies already fixed upon as likely by the war gossips and suggested by the trend of events. The triple alliance of England, United States and Japan, under certain contingencies, would be no surprise. It is indicated as a reasonable combination, in view of the drift tegether of .the Russian, German and French interests in the far east. The grab | game now progressing in China is at pres- €nt at a standstill, so far as the slaying of missionaries and the taking of concessions ar2 concerned, but there is much polities under the surface and the moves are all strategic. The Philippines offer a fresh ground for the maneuverings. At the same time the ambassadors of the powers to this country are reported: as being excep- ticnally active for the hot season and their unusual presence in Washingion gives rise to much speculation as to the delivery of pointed inquiries from Europe concerning the American purpose with regard to the Philippines. It is believed that the Amer- ican reply is to the effect that this coun- try can be relied upon to do what is in all respects right and just. This is, of course, a diplomatic evasion, but the time for eva- sions seems to be at hand. In all likelihood this country cannot be entirely frank in its answers respecting the future of the, Phil- ippines, for the simple reason that it does not know itself what that future will be. Meanwhile the American squadron and army at Manila will safeguard the feot- hold already secured, extend it as far as possible and teach the assembled foreign squadrons to respect American rights and keep at a proper distance. The sources of possible trouble are not as numerous or as ! perplexing as they might have been had Admiral Dewey acted less wisely or were the powers of the same mind today con- ut Spain, with a flourish, proclaimed © would not strike again until the insurgents had had more chance to think over matters and make submission. The world was expected to applaud Span- ish magnanimity. The world instead Joined at Spanish hum- bug. There Spain kept up her dirty work, and the insurgents their bushwhacking, and the United States be- gan to dust Spain's jacket before the time set for the armistice ran out. The United States will probably be as wise as the insurgents. There need be no armistice. Spain is defeated, and if peace is desired the speediest way to reach it is by surrender. Let the pow wow come be- tween victor and vanquished. It cannot be satisfactory if held under other circum- stances. The United States as victor may be expected to do the fair thing. It will probably not take into account on a Span- one ish valuation Spanish “pride” and Spanish “honor,” for it lacks the capacity to com- Prehend those very peculiar things. But its terms will be neither harsh nor unjust judged the standards of Anglo Saxon common sense and practice, and Spain will de left at least with a bone to pick. An armistice is not In order. Surrender is. The lowering of her by Spain at Havana, San Juan and Manila would lead to terms of advantage to her. But if the United States is forced to lower them the bill will be just that much bigger. War is an expensive business for the loser. ———_+ «2 —____ Publish War News Promptly. At the beginning of the war the admin- istration declared that the people were en- titled to immediate information of the doings of their army and navy, and prom- ised that the news received in Wash- ington should be given out for publication promptly, whether ft came by day or by night. The ordinary business day of the departments ends at 4 o'clock, and the news ground out by the departments in usual course falls within the hours covered by The Evening Star; so that this declaration of an ention to give out news In the mid- dle of the night which ld not in the colo usual course be handled and published un- nex til the Star's and justi licity we day was not in line with The sh interests. But the wisdom of this policy of prompt pub- » obvious, that The Star hearti- it nt terceney in the Navy De- partment, how if we may generalize from a singl2 notable instance, is to violate both the old ard the new police! hole news from the peopl tening it to the ts which could be made and would na- Hy be by day until the middie of the night, and to apply to news the sys- tem of delays of whict int has been e in re: to with- of Admiral fch was ready for publ report on yesterday tary Long will until tomorrow al report of the le of public be feared, can- lest publicity except by special arrangement for first and exclusive publication in th ng papers. It is of the current news, to which, as a ration id, the people are put delay. The “manana” Navy Department In with- holding news from the people for the bene- fit of a favored class of newspapers com- pares most unfavorably with the just and fudicious policy of prompt publicity orig- inally announced by the administration. ——_ +e The officers of the Spanish auxilary cruiser Alphonso XII claim that their ex- perie in being run ashore at Mariel proved conclusively that the American gunners are atrociously inefficient, for of the “hundreds of shells that were fired and fell all around ship only eight struck her.” ‘These chaps and some of the officers of Cervera’s squadron ought to get together after the war and compare notes. Perhaps Cervera’s men wili come to the conclusion that they were mistaken on the third of July and that their ships were hit by light- ning instead of by American shot and shell. At any rate, it suffices that the Alphonso XII was prevented from continuing on her career by self-same bad gunnery of the Amer The report of friendliness between Amer- ican and Spanish soldiers at Santiago, and the misunderstanding between Garcia and Shafter, will make the situation there, to fie ode Russia is now said to be taking a hand in the game of naval bluff at Manila, which is supposed to be intended to demonstrate to the United States that the “powers” are displeased with the prospect of an American control of the future of the islands. Four of the czar’s men-of-war have sailed from Port Arthur for some un- known destination, surmised to be Manila; but the news comes from Shanghai, a no- terious rumor-bed and not highly consid- ered in news circles as an authentic source of information. Yet at this time all naval rcutes in the Pacific seem to tead to Manila and the report may be true. There is prob- ably as much reascn for Russian warships at Manila as for German ships. There may be a handful of Russian subjects there, Germany has set a precedent that Russia is entitled to follow until one or the other or both run afoul of Admiral Dewey's de- termination to control the situation in the tay himself and take the wash from no other commander's flagship. At the same time, from the same source, Shanghai, comes a statement that four Japanese war- ships have been ordered to reinforce the Japanese squadron there, making it the strongest in those waters. It is further stated that the orders are for these’ ships to co-operate with the British and Amer- ‘ean admirais in the event of international complications. All this is line with the cerning American war power as they were a few months ago. ———_-+e—_____ Open the Spanish Jails. One of the first administrative acts of the Americans at Santiago has been to open the jail doors and liberate a number of Cubans who were imprisoned for po- litical reasens, some on specific charges, others without formal accusation. Here, in little, 1s a guarantee of what this coun- try expects to do in extenso when the campaign has been successfully closed and Cuba is no longer in Spanish hands. There are many jails throughout the island, such as that which has just been opened at Santiago. Despite the heavy shipments of political prisoners from Cuba to Ceuta and perhaps other distant prisons, there must be hundreds, perhaps thousands, of pa- triots now in Spanish custody, probably destitute of the necessities of life and un- questionably maltreated by their brutal keepers. With the prisoners in the island the ca: will be ccmparatively simple. American occuation will suffice to bring about their freedom on short notice. But who can vouch for the throngs who have been deported. Where are they? Will Spain rerder an accounting that can be relied upon? Will she undertake to free these men from her infamous African dun- geons? She should assuredly be compelled to do so, and in the ar Ss of peace strong ic Specifications to this effect will unquestion- ably be written. It will then remain a matter of fortune whether she faithfully executes her bond. But the Rulz affair does not afford much ground for hoping that the roll will be compiete when the wretched men are marched forth to the light and air. No confidence can be felt in Spanish prison methods after that ex- posure. That murders have been com- mitted behind the seclusion of cell walls, doubt. The Star recently re- ceived a note from a reader asking whether some steps might not be taken by this government to secure the exchange for some of the high officers of the Cevera squadron of such Cuban leaders as Gen. Riaz and Col. Barcalos, who bore his su- perior officer from the field wounded. These men, according to this correspon- dent, are now confined in the Spanish fortress of Montjuich. The Star has not verified the circumstance, but it is readily to be believed that these names are ac- curately noted and that there are many scores of such cases, of heroes who have been practically forgotten by the world none can while great events have been shaping. Thus it is to be seen that Spain's respo bi does rot wholly cease when she has lald Gewn her arms and has yielded Cuba to its ewn peo and satisfied the demanis of the liberating nation. —_——_+ ++ —__ Nipe 2ay in 1492 and 1898. History notes the fact that Bahia Nipe, the third large harbor of Cuba occupied by the United States, was the scene of the first landing of Columbus on the shores of the greatest of the Antilles. It was at that the voyager took earavels after sailing southward from San alvador, and, after moving from that point westward for some distance he turn- believing, it is narrated, that he had encountered the shores of Asia and could not hope to sail entirely around that great continent. So he went back eastward and thus made his way back to Spain to tell of his wonderful discoveries. Nipe bay thus connects itself with two widely separated stages of the history of Cuba. —---- + ee Richard Croker is dissatisfied with sac- ing in England. David B.

Richard Croker has sailed from England and will be at home in a few days. He is returning to an interesting political sit- uation. At his instance Tammany has made a grab for full control of the elec- tions machinery of New York city, and the republicans have met the maneuver by holding an extra session of the legislature and enacting a law providing for a new election board. Mr. Hill declares that the new law is unconstitutional, and proposes a prompt test of the question by an ap- peal to the courts. Mr. Croker will be consulted about this when he lands. But inevitably now, no matter what may be done about the new law, the isfue in New York this fall will be honest elec- tions. The chief of police whom Mayor Van Wyck removed had, under the old law, been very diligent and efficient in watching the registrations and in balking the games bf the repeaters at the polls. For this reason he had become obnoxious to Tammany. The man who succeeds him is an unsavory Tammanyite. His appoint- ment was accepted by the republicans as a menace to the suffrage, and they at once proceeded to block the scheme. The new law takes all authority over elections ma- chinery in the metropolitan district away from the police and vests it in the new board created. And at the head of this beard is placed the man whom Mr. Croker ordered removed as chief of police. Whenever Tammany is in the ascendant in New York, fraud, in one form or an- other, comes to the front and forces the issue. Tammany has neo principles. It stands for nothing but ‘the power of hard and fast organization, and {it operates through no other means but corruption and low cunning. It is the most conspicu- ous agency for evil and demoralization in the American body politic. It has met Nipe bay ed, with some disastrous and most dismal: reverses, and yet it has managed to sur- vive and to number among its members some men of high standing in the commu- nity. It is preparing for an energetic fight this year, bad as its issue is, and if the republicans are no wiser than they were last year, when they divided and let Tam- many walk in, Tammany will remain in. But maybe a year of Tammany will have served to bring them together again. They can carry the state by holding Tammany down in the matter of fraud in the city. —_+ 2 _____ Spain will have to bid livelier for peace than it did for the contract for removing | 2 our prisoners of war. _———_ seo Japan's friendly attitude toward this government In connection with the Phittp- pines is another evidence of the little island's sagacity. —_~++-+___ Commodore Schley will begin to suspect that the way for a naval officer to become Particularly famous is to have his name left out of an official report. $4 Soren, nérdnteed Coo Wat Kor (3e.! @ @ e & G9999S9S 09000008 It looks as if the colored troops may be relied on to distinguish themselves in any war in which they concern themselves.

From the Medical Record (New York). The transport Seneca arrived at this port on July 20, with nearly one hundred sick and wounded from Santiago on board, among whom were fourteen men with a suspicious fever. The ship was in a filthy ecndition, short of food and water, with- out any medical or surgical supplies or in- struments, not even dressings for the wounds or a single clinical thermometer. In one case an abscess was opened with the blad2 of a jacknife, no scalpel being obtainable. When the captain was ordered to take the sick soldiers, he protested that there were no conveniences or ev2n neces- sities for them on the ship, but his objec- tions were overruled by some one at Sibo- ny. Who that some one was is a proper subject for investigation by the military authorities, and when found his punish- ment should be such as to deter others in command from like brutality. The affair was a disgrace to the army and the coun- try, and, as many foreign milltary attaches wer? on board the Seneca, our shame will be published to the world. the external world, pre- e which centuries of e: “effete’ their appetites—who are not as strong as they should be—need “Culmbacher.” —— It’does ladies a world of —— good.

From the Philadelphia Times. It is probably not yet too late to increase the speed of our battle ships now in course of construction, and the President and Sec- retary Long should make exhaustive effort to have these new battle-ships constructed to attain the highest speed of the battle- ships of the world. Unless this shall be done our new war vessels, however per- fectly constructed, would rank only as sec- ond-ciass, as it is now fully demonstrated that speed is one of the most essential at- tributes of a warship in action. Let us have no more slow battle-ships. The value of speed in our war vessels has been so clearly demonstrated that it would be un- pardonable for our government to turn out any battle-ship hereafter that cannot tain the speed of eighteen knots.
