6 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY...........--July 30, 18DS, Editor. CROSBY S. NOYES.. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Cltreulation much more than the combined cir- enlation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. [7 In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to ‘THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but ply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpove. The Reply to Spain. ident gives Spain all the informa- ing the policy of this govern- ment necessary to enable her to to decide the momentous question of whether it would be wise for her further to prolong the war. She could not possibly have expected more. She is fortunate, indeed, to receive so much. was unusual, not ing up into the eyes of its conqueror and asking as to terms of submission 1s almost ludicre Still, the President, with a con- sideration which does him honor and which also supports the reputation of his country for openhandedness and magnanimity, re- plies to the question in good faith and tem- per. Spain need not further masquerade. She must have known, as we did, that her re- fusal to quit Cuba except as the result of force meant her withdrawal, in case of American success, absolutely from the west- ern hemisphere. american success is now a fact beyond dispute, and hence the inevita- ble edict is that the Spanish flag must come down everywhere on this side of the Atlantic. The President makes that en- tirely plain. And with this decision necessarily goes the other decision, that the territory to be taken from Spain shall not be bugdened with the debt incurred by Spain in her per- secution of it. The proposition is astound- ing, but thoroughly Spanish. Th:: fact that the bonds representing this deb. are held outside of Spain does not affect the ques- tion in the slightest. The United States did rot advise or guide those investments and is in nowise obliged to protect them. Spain alone is responsible. The way of the care- Iess investor, like that of the transgressor, is hard. ‘The question of the Philippines ts a ques- tion apart. It is one of very considerable di@eulty. At this time American senti- ment is divided on it. But yet the President leaves Spain with no just complaint on that head. There will be no excuse for her to hesitate simply because the attitude of the United States is not defined to the very letter. + ee —___ American Control in Cuba. The pacification of Cuba is to be an Amer- ican task, that insures that, while dif ficult, it will certainly be accomplished. The work will not proceed on a time limit. is fixed or can be for delivering the to those for whom its freedom is now sought. The United States is under obligations not only to free Cuba, but to that stable government is established there, and so after the Spanish flag is low- ered it will continue in control of the island until stability for Cuban government is assured. The corruption and incompetence of Span- ish officials of all grades in Cuba had much to do with the breaking down of Spanish authority in the island. The practices were notorious, and everybody, from the captain general down, was implicated. Large pri- vate fortunes were accumulated in a very few years. Loot was almost the standing order of the day. The customs service in particular was honeycombed with rascall- ties. The people of the island, therefore, were not only oppressed with unjust laws and discriminations, but robbed by those set over them. Discontent, and finally re- bellion, followed naturally and righteously. American officials for a time will replace the Spanish. This insures both competency and integrity. The affairs of Cuba will be administered by a radically different class of men. Our customs service here at home is, upon the whole, admirably and most honorably administered, and the record of territorial government in the United States is a highly creditable one in every particu- lar. And so we have only to send to Cuba for official du men as are hon- ored with here at home damaging com- h and fully invite and confidence of the corrupt system and those administering it. The Cuban people have been sincere in their demand for good government, and they are very certain to know it and respond to it when it comes. ——~++2—____ General Shafter may derive hove from the fact that many men of whom the pro- fessional critics disapproved at first turned out to be conspicuous successes. ——_+++—. Local pride has not yet developed suf™- elently in Santiago to cause it to come for- ward with claims to consideration as an ideal summer resort. ——_~++e—____ The Morning Paper's Decline. The esteemed Post of this city waxes fa- ¢etious in today’s issue at ihe expense of the afternoon newspaper, taking as a text certain remarks of the New York Evening Post concerning the Navy Department's ac- tion In withholding the Sampson 1eport trom the public for the benefit of the morn- ing papers. The reading world now rea- lizes and appreciates the fact more keenly every day that the morning newspaper is a relic of the old fogy epoch, when it required many hours, usually the greater part of a day, to transmit the news of today’s hap- penings. The evening paper, on the other hand, ts the type of modern conditions. The reading public demands that today's news, as far as possible, shall be published today and that it shall not be held back urely publication of the morning The Star, appreciating this de- has always sought to meet it and to every agency for prompt publication. in ccnsequence of a quickening of means of transmission and of news handling it is able to give first publication to a vast ma- Jority of the news items from day to day. Mest of the news is made in the daylight hours, and immediate transmission means naturally its appearance in the evening paper. It ts only when extraordinary cir- cumstances intervene to delay news trans- mission that the merning paper enjoys the rst chance at important tidings. Such are the isolation of the news points from cable lines, or the intervention of exceptional dis- tanees, or accidents to the wires, or favor- itism of the distributing agency, based upon a mistaken notion of the value and populdrity of the morning issues. In Washington the news is almost in- veriably Geveloped in the afternoon paper’s time. As far as the government agencies are concerned it is safe to estimate that 909 of each thousand items fall to the af- ternoon journal. Congress, the departments and the courts all contribute to this pro- portion, Wnenever Cepgress by its dilatory methods postpones action on bills, resolu- tions and tae Uke beycnd the normal hours of its sessions, the cutcome is forecasted Ja the afternoon editions with sufficient ac- curacy to take the edge off the morning _—— announcement of discounted facts. In this longi*nde the afternoon paper is fa- vored with rich aburdance in the gather- ing of the news. Owing to the difference of time there are few items chronicling the daylight activities of men which reach these shores from Europe outside the range of the evening edition. Asia, perhaps, is reserved for the morning paper, if the news is promptly cabled, wkile the news of this broad continent is almost exclusively the property of the aftermocn paper. The Post seeks to justify its apparently jecose but really serious comments by al- Ivsions to certain carefully selected items o7 exclusive publication that it has en- joyed. It instances the publication of the de Lome Letter (by favor of the N. ¥. Journal), the final midnight vote of Con- gress on the war declaration, the Dewey victory, the Cérvera sortie, the Sampson report (by favor of the Navy Department), and, vaguely, the Shafter exploits around Santiago. The Star can more than cover this short list of news successes, its schedule ex- tending over a long period and including the most important war happenings, some of which are here briefly noted: The terms of Spain’s reply to the American note; the President’s message to Congress submitting the case of Cuba; the text of the resolutions adopted by the two foreign affairs committees; the rejection by the House of the recognition clause of the Senate's resolutions; the presentation to the President of the joint note of European powers; the ultimatum to Spain; the dis- missal of Polo by this government and of Woodford by Spain; the proclamation of the blockade; the first act of war by the cruiser Nashville; the first call for troops; the President's message asking for @ formal declaration of war; President Dole’s offer of Hawaii for strategic purposes; the orders to the Charleston to reinforce Dewey at Manila; the first fatal engagement of the war, at Cardenas; the arrival of the Cervera squadron off Martinique; the sall- ing of Schley; the second call for troops; the first success of the Shafter forces at Santiago, driving the enemy back to his @efense line; Shafter’s note of doubt as to his ability to force the lines; Samp- son’s news report of the destruction of Cervera’s fleet; the decision of this government to send Commodore Wat- son to Spain with a squadron; Shaf- ter’s notification of an immediate advance upon Santiago; the evacuation of El Caney; the opening of the general engagement at Santiago, July 1; the decision of Spain to surrender Hobson; the actual exchange of Hobson; the fall of Sagasta’s ministry; the completion of the investment of Santiago; the firing on the German cruiser Irene at Subig bay; the surrender of Toral; the final terms of surrender; the first intima- tion of a Spanish message to the United States; the detailed and located landing of Miles’ forces at Guanica; the Spanish peace overtures; the surrender of Ponce; the first official draft of the peace terms; General Miles’ proclamation to the people of Porto Ri This long list mignt be supplemented by many hundreds of minor news features that appeare. first In this city in The Star. The last few days have well demonstrated the superiority of ihe afternoon edition over that of the morning. Tuesday of this week. for instance, The Star had the defin- ite and detailed news of Gen. Miles’ land- ing at Guanica, the Spanish peace over- tures and the act of Spanish treachery in sinking the cruiser Sandoval., Friday, yes- terday, The Star repeated its performance of taking the cream of the news. It puh- lished not only the first peace terms, but also an account of the cabinet meeting, the surrender of Ponce, Milles’ proclama- tion to the people, and Gen. Shafter’s de- rial of certain insinuations of interference from Washington. Truly, it is time for the Post ta acknowl- edge that it Is in the rear of the proces- sion. It does what ft can by individual ex- cellence to offset the natural and ever ac- cumulzting difficulty in the publication of the news, but it cannot restore to the morning paper the prestige that it once enjoyed, thanks to the slowness of trains and the absence of electrical communica- tion. ———_~ ++ ___ There is a possibility of this country’s perplexities being so completely settled as to leave Senator Mason without anything to champion. —_+ 0 _____ Admiral Camara could not be blamed for Trailing at the inequalties of fortune when he rflects on the good time Cervera is Laving. —____ + ee —__—_ Miss Schley meant well, but her distin- guished relative in the navy understands peace-making better than she does. ——— 0 = —____ Mr. Hooley might retrieve his fortunes to some degree by publishing a British peer- age price list for use among financiers. ——_- 2026 War as a Geography Lesson. While the analysis are telling of the masy “lessons of the war with Spain,” relative to the value of battle ships, the uselessness of torpedo boat destroyers, the superiority of the American gunner, and the like, they should not overlook the fact that this campaign has thus far proved a great geography lesson that cannot fail to be of benefit to the people who read the newspapers. The war has carried us into strange lands. The first decisive step was taken at Manila, in a region little under- siood and scarcely noted in the ordinary affairs of American life. There was prac- tically nothing there of interest to the cit- izens of the United States. They had known vaguely of the rebellion in the Phil- ippines, and they understood general!y that it was there that Weyler put in a course of training in his capacity as butcher and tyrant. They had heard that Manila was somewhere over in the Asian archipelago, but as to the exact geographical relation of the group to the rest of the world they knew little and cared less. Dewey’s vic- tory instantly focussed attention upon these islands, and in a few weeks the na- tion had become familiar with a multitude of facts concerning the climate, popula- tion and resources of the Philippines. Meanwhile Hawalti, concerning which much had been known for several years, bad been pressed even more closely upon public attention by its annexation, and thus the map of the Pacific became a far more familiar exhibit than ever before. The voyage of the various expeditions across the great ocean in aid of the Amer- ican admiral at Manila involved much studying of the courses, the trade winds, the currents and the arrangement of the innumerable islands and islets in the east- ern portion. A new chapter in the world’s geography had been opened to the eyes of Americans, who have been for many years so closely occupied at home fhat they have had little opportusity or need to look abroad. Nor has the campaign in the West Indiea been witnout its usefulness as a demon- strator of strange places and relations. Beyond a vague sense of the genera! shape of the group, stretching in a scimetar-like form from the lower corner of the north- ern to the upper corner of the southern continent, with one large, several smaller and very many comparatively tiny islands in the system, there was doubtless little West Indian information immediately available in the mind of the average Amer- ican. The Bermudas, the Bahamas, the standing of the progress of the campaign the citizen must appreciate the distances involved, the precise govern- ncntal relations, the cable connections, the details, even, of local geography. It is fair to assume that by this time a majority of newspaper readers have become closely acquainted with the entire eastern end of Cuba, and specifically with the country round about Santiago. Knowledge thus acquired, based upon historical events, sel- dom fades. The American people have be- gun to look abroad, to note comparisons, to see wider opportunities for development, to be encouraged by the advantages of thelr own climate, resources and govern- ment and warned by the experiences of | other peoples. Aside from every other con- sideration, the war has thus been of un- mistakable benefit to the average citizen, for it cannot have failed to broaden and en- lighten him. ————~o+_____ ‘The Spanish government denies that it was frightened by Watson's fleet.

From His Point of View. “Every man is likely to make mistakes in public as in private life,” said the char- itable man. answered Senator Sorghum. “But there are some mistakes for which there is no excuse.” “For example?” “Well, about the worst is owning up after you have madeone.”” A Haughty Disposition. “Shall we sue for peace?” asked one Spanish diplomat. “We'll have to,” replied the other. “But it would ease my pride a great deal if we could make the United States get down on its knees and coax us to stop being whipped.” Am Advantage of Smaliness. ‘The ptomaine is a cowardly beast, A man’s his favorite prize; If he must fight he might at least Take some one of his size. A Large Idea. The man who believes in making the worst of everything happened to see the Washington monument looming in the dis- tance. Immediately he heaved a deep sigh. “What's the trouble?” inquired the friend. ‘Doesn't it svit you?” ‘Not quite.” “It has beea approved by monument ex- perts from all parts of the world.” “It's very good as far as it goes. But if some enterorising mar would fit it up with mercury and 4 glass tube whal a fine thing it would be or measuring this weather!” Trouble. “Do you think the United States will want all our colonial possessions?” asked one discontented Spaniard. “No,” replied the other. “They'll leave us just enough islands to Keep us in con- tinual hot water ovgr naval appropria- tions.”” A Plea for Inaction, Oh, It's lazy, lazy weather, An’ the folks that try to toil Aren't likely to accomplish Near as much as they will spoil.

From the Atlanta Journal. The position taken by The Washington Star (concerning the Navy Department's methods in publishing the Sampson report) is certainly correct. The public is entitled to the official news of the departments at Washington just as soon as it is obtainable. ‘The Navy Department in holding back the report of Admiral Sampson did the public an injustice, and we hope that Secretary Long will see that such another instance does not occur. So far as the general news of the war is concerned the recerd will show that the afternoon papers have been first with nearly ali of it. They have been enabied to serve the public in this satisfactory manner by the enterprise of their own war correspondents and the admirable service of the Associated Press. They have been re- markably successful in giving the public prompt war news, and the Navy Depart- ment should emulate their example. This is a plain duty which we believe Secretary Long will not fail hereafter to perform. +++ —-__—_ Not the Cuban Soldiers. From the Worcester Spy. Charles M. Pepper, one of the most con- servative and veracious of the correspond- ents, rises to explain that the Cubans who are making trouble for us in the island are not the soldiers, but men who fied to the United States and returned to Cuba as soon as the battle was won, Nobody has been disposed to dispute that the Cubans have their full share of that annoying quality commonly described as “human nature.” Nauseating. From the Buffalo Commercial. To treat the Spanish prisoners with due courtesy and humanity, and relieve them as far as is proper from the yoke of humili- ation and hardship of confinement, 1s all well enough, and is incumbent upon this nation. But to dine and wine the Spanish officers, making them guests of honor at dinner parties, is a bad illustration of “slop over.” —___ + e+. A Question of Terms. From the Boston Herald. It is interesting to wonder whether; when it is aH over, it will be known as the Hispano-American war, or the Americo- Spanish war, or the United Stateso-Spanish war, or the Spanisho-United States war, or the Cubo-Hispano-Americo war, or—but the possibilities are too various to be discussed exhaustively in a paragraph. = Verifying Traditions, From the Hartford Courant.
