The London Daily Mati accepts the St. Paul speech of Senator Davis as a complete and satisfactory reply to the speech of Mr. Chamberlain on the subject of Anglo-Saxon union, and sees no need now for a hard and fast alliance between England and the United States. That is a very sane esti- mate of the speech and of the situation. Mr. Davis, who always speaks well, and whose views on public questions are broad and statesmanlike, spoke unusually well at St. Paul, and tn the spirit of a genuine American. His utterances may be accept- ed in England and elsewhere as truly rep- resentative of the best sentiment in this country on the subject treated. No Anglo-Saxon millennium is designed or will be inaugurated. None is desired on either side of the water. The necessary actors or materials are not at hand. John Bull is a thoroughly practical fellow, with a long head and a strong will for the main char He has a good many irons in the fire, and the rapid commercial development of the world insures that he will insert others there from time to time. Uncle Sam likewise has his eyes open, and is busy. English and American interests in detail do not go on all fours together. There is rivalry between them, and rivalry wiil continue. Rivairy will help rather thaa hinder both. What has been achieved, and will endure, is such an understanding, such an improve- ment of feeling, between the two peoples as insures that this rivalry in future shall ba friendly; that each will respect the other, and when possible will assist the other. That is an accomplishment of the first importance to all that Anglo-Saxon civitization represents. That the English- speaking people would stand together in an emergency against any aggressiveness of what we consider a less capable and pro- gressive strain of blood—whether it be cailed Latin or what not—has never been seriously in doubt. It has just been demon- strated how groundless the slight appre- hension on that score was. But now that the English-speaking peop! ed in the main about what the to one another, and where s. and are pledged, though informally and without bonds or seals, to stand together and go forward together, they may felicitate them- selves wherever they exist on what is of the greatest moment to them and to the progress of the world. —— A Characteristic Performance. “We assume that Pre favor of peace per se. re- ant to enter into war that we cannot doubt that he will do everythin deems practicable to secure 4 do so if he has a care for his own political future. The longer the war is continued the greater the chance that some militar: or naval hero will carry off thi dential nomination. As the either Dewey or Hobson ( old enough) might distance competition. Mr. Bryan saw looming up immediately after war was de- clared, and he hastened to get under der-straps, lest Fitzhugh Lee or some other military favorite should take the next dem- Ocratic nomination away from him. Th chances are that he comes too late and that he will not smell gunpowder, except in the form of a salute to some more active candi- date. It behooves all civilians, including senators, to use their efforts for peace ere they are supplanted by military and nava heroes in the field of political preferment.” There may be traced in the foregoing a Profound contempt not only for the men the latter were him in that this danger whose names are mentioned, but for the whole American people as well. It ts at an indictment of personal characte of the public intelligence. The is advised to consider and de purely in the , and ad- monish) t if he fails to do so he may expect be supplanted in public favor by Some shrewder observer or more popular hero. He {s rated as a mountebank and ker and urged to meet all the re- of such a roie. , is based upon the pr eae that the war with Spain is “inglorious;" that it is the result of unrea- aoning clamor; that some emotional and some vicious men engineered the h, and ‘avers that the only way to arrest attention in the interests of stopping it is to appeal to the selfish side of the leaders and show them how much there is in peace for them. They are therefore warned not to permit hosttlities to go further. fortunes and prestige are put e The question of the terms of peace is not brought forward. It seems to have been of ho moment whatever. The sole proposition is that as the war is “inglorious” and should never have been begun, it cannot be brought to a close too quickly. Any old terms will do. The only thing for the lead- ers of the American people to consider 1s their own personai iuture; and so they are notified that a prolongation of the war might result in the loss of their jobs. Is it necessary to add that this expres- sion, so full of impeachment of American character and, inferentially, so denuncia- tory of American purpose, holding up both to ridicule and distrust, from a leading editorial in the New York Evening Post? —_ + + ____ sta should get his peace application ly, so as to prevent any misunder- standing on Commodere Watson's part after the latter has sailed. —_++= Future upheavals of nature may cause jentists to marvel at the submarine scrap accumulated by this generation. ——_ +e. An American Naval Station. Should the United States secure, as a re- sult of the peace negotiations with Spain, a permanent footing in the Philippine is- lends, for use as a naval station, the ex- perience of Great Britain with regard to Hong Kong will be valuable as a guide. There is nothing in American history to serve in this connection, for the United States has never established naval stations and the like in foreign parts. There is a material difference between a coaling sta- tion and a naval station. The former is Usually a mere landing point, where a store Of fuel can be kept for naval uses. It car- ries with it no territorial privileges save those necessary to protect the coal from theft and to permit vessels to approach and replenish their bunkers. On the other hand a naval station must be sufficiently large to allow its holder to construct Wharves, sometimes dry-docks, repair basins, work-shops and other appurtenances Such as constitute what in American par- lance is called a navy yard. This of course requires considerable area for its imme- diate purposes and experience has taught that it is wise to go beyond the mere needs of ihe naval settlement for mechanical pur- poses and acquire sufficient adjacent terri- tory to permit the community to be seif- Sustaining for a period, by the culture of food stuffs in the immediate vicinity. Iu Bhort, the well-equipped naval station should have a market garden attached. Bove Ware e country's ntirely aside. and ceded to them by the treaty of Nan- king the following year, is an island con- taining about 29 square miles, barren and desolate in the main and capable of sus- taining but little life from its own re- sources, Its chief value is its remarkable harbor, stretching from the island shore to the Kowloon peninsula on the mainland and affording a space of about ten miles for anchorage purposes, well screened from the violence of the sea. On its shore is Vic- toria, the capital of the island and the chief British settlement in Asia, from a political point of view. In 1861 Great Britain ob- tained by cession the extremity of the Kow- Joon peninsula, an area of less than three square miles, and quite recently further cessions by China gave her additional shore territory, presumably capable of culture, extending to and including Mirs Bay, from which Admiral Dewey steamed to destroy the Spanish squadron at Manila. Thus England has not only a splendid harbor but a large island, together with sufficient adjacent shore to permit complete fortification and guaranteeing a certain de- gree of protection from starvation in case of siege. Approximately the same condi- tions ought to be reproduced in the Philip- pines if this country should secure a leca- tion there. Today's announcements indi- cate that the present anticipation of the government is that an American city will develop around its naval base, and it is added that this may occur at or near Manila itself. This anticipation obvious- ly involves many important considera- tions affecting the political relations of the American government with that which in future shall control the group, of which Manila is the capital. If complications should arise to render this course undesir- able or impossible the conditions at Sublg bay, with its Grande Island, would as far as known seem to suggest that there lie the conditions which might be evolved into an American Hong Kong. Whatever oc- curs care will doubtless be taken that the peint chosen is provided with a perfect harbor, genial climatic conditions, an area of wholesome and sufficient cultivation, gcod water and free access to the lanes of travel and the neighboring puints of po- litical interest. ———_++ + ____. Wood Stirs the Spaniards. The Spanish civil governor of Santiago pretests that Military Governor Wood is riding rough-shod over the traditions and regulations of municipal administration, and instances as one of the Aierican’s oppressive measures a new rule requiring householders to report deaths to the an- thorities. It is to be suspected that Senor Res’ complaints in general will have little weight in Washington if all are based upon nilar groun The regulation referred to is one of the first steps toward a decent sanitary management of the city, which evidently needs a thorough overhauling. The Spanish custom doubtless is to permit the people to hide the fact of death, and in this they are very like the Hindoos, whose superstitions and prejudices against official hygienic measures have greatly embar- rassed the government in its efforts to check the pl s that periodically sweep through India. Santiago must be made habitable for civilized people, and the first efforts to this end be along the line of introducing American methods and _pro- cesses. Drastic measures will be necessary for a time, first to cure a desperately filthy situation and then to teach the people the ways of cleanliness and health. Without regard for the political future, whether it lcads to Cuban government or to American annexation, Santiago first and H: na next, with other cities as well, must be brought out of the mud. Governer Ros prebably smarts under the lash of General Shafter’s rebuke and seeks to vent his spicen upon General Wood, who is a skilled physician and doubtless knows exactly what to do. ———~+ eo —__—_ A Needed Warning. Much embarrassment has been caused the fire department in this city during the past few weeks by miscreants who have persisted in turning in false alarms, ne cessitating useless runs by the companies at all hours of the day and night, often in the extreme heat of the mid-summer. Last night the third of a series of attempts upon a box at the corner of 12th and § streets northwest was frustrated by the timely +r- rest of two men who have been rystemat- annoying the fire companies of ction and disturbing the residents night. These men have been prope! given the maximum penalty of six months’ imprisonment each, In detault of forty dol- lars’ fine, and this severe rebuke by the courts wili surely deter others of the same aliclous turn of mind from imitating their -ks. The fire department 1s now too small in proportion to the areas to.be cov- ered and the interests to be protected, and it should not be handicapped by these fase signals, which of course diminish the effi- ciency of the force in proportion es the engines are taken from their stations with- out cause. The average run to a fire, espe- ly in this city, wich has a wide repu- tation for prompt responses to alarms, is accompanted by much danger of injury to the horses, and disasters bave happened now and again costing human life as a re- sult of the intense e: 33 cf both men and horses to get to the scene of danger without delay. It ts estimated, too, that it costs on the average over thirty dollars for the engines to respond to an alarm, and this cost is to be teken imto“account In dealing with those who are detected in the act, as were the men last night. — +2 —___ General Garcia, with all his indignation, would scarcely favor a restoration of the conditions which prevailed before this country decided to interfere. Senor Sagasta would have been a great “zed by the English in 1841] of Cuba, forming an diplomat if he had realized that there are times when it pays even a trickster to be open and above board. —__- -+ «2 If Don Carlos is any kind of a business man he will proceed to open a few recruit- ing stations without further delay. If there are any more Spanish prisoners it might be well to detain them in the neighborhood and make them go to work on the isthmian canal. ———- +0 ___ General Lee was fortunate in getting his share of the glory before competition be- came s9 violent. Outlying Islands, In the preliminary draft of the official reply to Spain regarding the peace over- tures as part of the American demand men- tion is made of the cession to the United States of certain small islands off the Cu- ban and Porto Rican coast. It is interes’ ing, even though the exact terms of this item are not yet disclosed, to note certain facts concerning these islands. Those doubtless meant to be included are the Isle of Pines, off the southwestern coast of Cuba, used principaily as a sort of penal colony by the Spanish colonial government; Mona Island, situated in the middle of the Mona passage, between Porto Rico and San Domingo, and Vieques or Crab Island, about fifteen miles east of Porto Rico. These places and perhaps others would be chiefly valuable to the United States for strategic purposes, especially Mona Island, which in a fashion commands the much- used passage to tho Caribbean sea, Not far from Crab Island is a smaller uprising from ine sea, Culebra Island, probably of littl» consequence, yet distinctly a part of the Porto Rican territory. It remains for the future to disclose whether the gov- ernme: t has in mind for this purpose any of the chain of practically Ine lands stretching along the northern elongated archipéiago THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1898-12 PAGES. with lagoons between them and the main-, land. The largest of these is called Cayo Romano, followed in size by Cayo Saba- nal, Cayo Coco, Cayo Santa Maria, Cayo Fragoso and innumerable smaller islets and “keys” of the characteristic West Indian type. : Bismarck’s reputation for - weathering hard storms will rimke his admirers slow to give up hope concerning his physical | condition. | Admiral Cervera is being attacked by Madrid newspapers.

His Sole Idéa of the Means. “A great Many people wiil make fortunes in Cuba,” said the thoughtful man. “I spose so,” answered Senator Sorghum. “But itl take some time for ’em to get elections and legislatures and things run- ning regular-like.”” Not a Smoking Car. It was a Boston lady to whom the con- ductor remarked: “Madam, this fs a smoking car.” She looked it over and answered: “I sus- pect that you are the victim of an optica}. illusion, due to the presence of a number of smoking men.”” His One Regret. The man who's always somewhat late Now says in tone sad-hearted, “I fain would be a hero great, But this unruly war won't wait Until I can get started.” A Preposterous Suggestion. “Whut's de use o’ botherin’ me ‘bout dat rent?’ inquired the occupant of a dilapi- dated shanty. “De grocery man wus jes’ roun’ hyuh an’ I owes a doctor's bill an’ a bul lot o' yuthuh folks. An’ hyuh I is down to my last four doliahs.” “Why don’t you pay that on account?” “Go ‘way, man! I needs dat ter pay de license foh dem two dogs.” Anxiety to Please. If Uncle Sam's extreme courtesy to pris- oners of war is not satisfactory to the foreign gentlemen now sojourning at An- napolis the rules of the Naval Academy might be supplemented as follows: All refreshments must be served in pitch- ers. No reference, however remote, to bot- ties will be allowed. Steamboats are prohibited from whis- tling betweeen noon and 4 p.m., as they might spoll a siesta. No tailor is allowed to refuse credit to a prisoner who desires to go to a party and feels the need of a dress sult. Any insinuation that cigarette smoking is unhealthy will be considered a breach of discipline. A guard must not refuse to play games with a prisoner, but is strictly probibited from winning his money Musicians are forbid: except the Spanish F; to play anything dango. Ladies sending bouquets arg requested to exercise caution, as some of the prisoners do not like the smell of tube-roses. Prisoners are requested to report any neglect or discourtesy to the cashier In the office. The Season’s Worst Affliction, Oh, the man who tells his troubles Now appears upon the scene, And each grief he more than doubles By his melancholy mien, For he sighs With surprise As his talent he applies To destroy hope’s glittering bubbies Which were floating so serene. As he drops into a chair And exclaims in blank despair— “Great Scott!! Ain't it hott” When at last you are forgetting How the perspiration glides, In he comes, your mood upsetting Like a freight train which collides. And his gloom Fills the room With the sadness of a tomb When he howls all unregretting As your patience he derides. And he’s hardly said farewell Ere another comes to yell “Great Scott Ain't it hott" —_ — +e —___—. Exclusive American Control. From the Chicago Journal. In a communication to the London Daily policy of Lord Sal bury toward the United States, Sir George Sydenham Clarke makes this Mentlletes statement: “It is for the best interests of the world that ary canal coanecting the Atiantic and the Pacific should be controlled by the United States, and whatever attitude the European powers may take, foreign inter- ferns in Central America is out of ae the the interests of in stion, because the United States and Great Britain future canal will be paramour However close this writer’s touch with the minisiry may be, there is little doube that his words reflect the feeling of a large part of the British public at this time, us far as it has any feeling about the subject. But Sir George Sydenham Clarke hes gained wide recognition in England as an expert on naval tactics and the defenses of the empire, and if he also speaks the sen- timent of the British government regari the canal poesibilities. If the Salisbury government feels as Sir George Sydenham Clarke writes, now is the time to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and obtain a right of which that treaty has robbed us since 1850—the right to exclusive American control of the Nic- aragua canal. It could be done without cousing friction or unfriendliness or expus- ing us to charges of bad faith, and it would remove one of the great obstacles to the construction of a waterway we sorely need, both for commerce and fenge. he opens new and impor nt the national de- oe Value of Fast Battle Ships. From the New York Mail and Express. It was Admiral Cervera’s keenest humil- fation that his swiftest crulser should be successfully chased by a battle ship. He could understand the speed of the Brook- lyn, but to be overhauled by the Oregon was too much for his pride. The lesson is one of the most prominent to be drawn by naval experts from the destruction of Spain's West Indian fieet, and our Navy Department has quickly realized its im- portance. This is plainly the reason for the e@nnouncement that bids for the construc- tion of the three new battle ships, known as Nos. 10, 11 and 12, will be considered, not alone on the basis of price, but on the steaming radius and speed. The magnifi- cent record of the Oregon may wisely be considered in the future construction of floating fortresses. ——— Change of Sentiment About the From the Chicago Tribune. Whatever effect the war with Spain may have upon the future of the American army, it is now generally conceded that it will give. the United States ons of the larg- est as well as one of the most modern na- yies in the world. The vietory at Manila, followed up by that at Santiago, has revo- lutlonized congressional sentiment and con- verted many former opponents to an in- crease of the navy to the opinions of their constituents. Many of them have changed front and are now Garey nad of the move- ment for a great naval vye An Appreciative Contrast, From the St. Louls Republic, The Busy Corner, 8th and Market Space. = Ee} S.
