THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY.......Augast 10, 1808. CROSBY S. NOYES.. = — culation of the other Washingt dailies. An a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 71m order to <a delay: Srantinets f al absence, le THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or ments, according to t ee Spain's Advice Not Desired. This would appear to be not the proper time for joking. And yet Spain comes for- ward full of solicitude about good govern- ment for Cuba! In order that this may be assured she wants the United States to en- ter at once and permanently on the admin- istration of the affairs of the island. one \iges made by the United States on the See she would have disregarded. That is the Spanish way of doing business. It is not the American way. The United States will enter on the task of administer- ing affairs in Cuba because the task by virtue of the situation devolves upon this government. If annexation follows, soon or late, it will only be at the unintimidated request of the Cuban people, and not as the result of a scandalous violation of the plighted word. The talk about protecting the interests of Spanish property owners In Cuba is based upon the old order of things. Good govern- ment for Cuba means the protection of all interests. It was Spain who gave protec- tion to the interests of only one class. It was Spain who put the interests of the Cubans under her feet. It was Spain who created such anarchy in the island that all interests but those of the Spanish-born suf- fered. It wag this that brought on the war. It was this that caused the United States to order Spain off the western-hem- isphere. The United States, therefore, can be relied on, in any government of [ts own, er for which it is responsible through others, to see that all the old abuses are excluded from the new dispensation. Spain's uneasiness is natural. It is that of the wretch taken red-handed. She knows her deserts, as measured by the or- dinary standards, and she trembles for her hide. She is prompt to plead for the con- sideration which she has denied to others. The tyrant in power is ever the cringing pleader in defeat. Having pursued the in- surgents with every form of outrage, she fears their resentment now that her power is broken. The new government for Cuba will mean neither revenge nor oppressions, but oppor- tunity and safety for all who obey the laws and love the land. And this will be all the More easily accomplished without sugges- tions of any kind from Spain. It would be as appropriate to consult the devil about the details of the millennium as Spain about good government for Cuba. ——_— + +2 —___ Spain Must Accept Quickly. ‘There is some doubt at the present hour as to whether the peace negotiations have been sent to the second stage of adjustment or have been further delayed in the initial stage by reason of Spain's failure to sub- mit a categorical acceptance of our terms. It is evident, however, that the answer that was received officially by this government yesterday sought to interject new matter into the case. It is likewise evident that this procedure has not appealed favorably to the administration and that the answer in its stated form was not acceptable. The confusion at present arises from the uncer- tainty as to whether Spain has been called upon by cabig for a more explicit accept- ance of the terms or M. Cambon, author- ized to act for her, has modified the answer to meet the American demand. In any event it behooves Spain to act speedily in the premises. The fighting at Manila and in Porto Rico is complicating the affair for her. It is a case of the Sibyl- line leaves. They can never be bought so cheaply as now. Peace will cost Spain more dearly later than today, especially in view of the loss of American lives in the prolonged campaign. The debit side of the international account grows heavier with each day, in money and lives. The American reply now under considera- tion is thus to be regarded as the minimum of our demands. Should Spain quibble over them, throwing complications into the case and threatening to quarrel over the pro- cesses of peace administration, she will surely find her predicament steadily grow- ing worse. Her true friends in Europe will advise her thus, if they are wise. She will act promptly or she may be brought out of her dream of a diplomatic victory by the sight of a squadron of American warships. ——— ++ General Miles’ announcement that he does not need any more troops will doubtless be @ cause of some regret among the people of Porto Rico, who are so eager to show their hospitality. ———_—_+ += —____ No doubt there will be great rivalry among the enterprising young men of St. Louts the coming season to kiss the girl who kissed Hobson—just for the sake of patriotism, you know. ———— +0 The detectives who drove “Bill Mason” out of town went further along in the case than they did with that historic character, Dorsey Foultz. ———_~+ = —_____ The Challenge for the America Cup. Sir Thomas Lipton’s challenge for the America cup is apparently sent in good \faith, and unless complications should arise it is likely to result in another international ,Yacht race. In view of the changed rela- tions between the two peoples since the unfortunate Dunraven flasco, it is highly Gesirable that such an event should oc- cur, to heal the breach caused by the Lad breaks of the latest British aspirant for the Fecovery of the famous trophy. Sir Thomas Lipton is generous in the terms of his challenge as far as they are known. He imposes no embarrassing conditions relative to the management of the excur- sion boats, the crowding from which was elted by Dunraven as the prime cause of ais withdrawal. Lipton prefers t> loave this item to the discretion and the fairness of the American committees. It if to be @ssumed that particular care wiil be exer- ¢ised, in the event of a race, to reduce the excursion boat annoyance to a minimum, yet it is doubtful whether it can be materf- ally lessened, save by holding the races zi @ considerable distance from New York, or, in fact, any other large city. The chief cause of the trouble of late years has been with the location of the course, which virtually transformed tne matches from genuine sporting events Into great ex- hibitions for tne entertainment of thou- sands of people. If by some device the en- tertainment feature of the event cou'd be subordinated to the prime object of afford- ing the British challenger a fair run over a good course In an honest effort to win back the cup that has remained on this side for so many years a strong stimulus wouid undoubtedly be given to international sport of all kinds. Lipton promises a yacht that “ehall embody the very latest genius in designing and construction. It is to be “galled the Shamrock and is to represent Ireland as the Thistle represented Scotland end as other racers have come directly from the Eniglish people. There is unfortunately some evidence of jealousy on the part of a few of the dyed-in-the-wool yachtsmen of the Cowes regatta coterie because of Lip- ton’s manly challenge, particularly as the Irishman is not a yachtsman in the strict- est sense, and challenges now merely be- cause he wants to see the races revived and to recover the cup, if possible, for Gerat Britain. There are certain formali- ties that must be observed prior to the definite acceptance of the challenge which may bring this spirit of antagonism to an acute point, but it is hardly conceivable that the English organization that has gen- eral control of the case will further jeopardize the good name of British sport by refusing to sanction the challenge and to give Lipton the privilege of competing for the trophy. Should the preliminaries be smocthly adjusted it is not to be ques- tioned that in short order the American yachtsmen will bend their energies to the problem of successfully defending the title to the cup, and barring accidents and fiascoes there ought to be another winner built, better than the Defender, better. of course than the Shamrock, the best racing yacht in the world, typical of the American genius for shipbuilding which has just re- ceived such a spiendid demonstration in the performance of our navy in the war with Spain, —————_~+ +> —____ Capt. Sigubee’s New Command. Captain Sigsbee's new assignment to commard the battle-ship Texas will surely give general satisfaction, even though it {s probable that he will have no further chance in this war to participate in a naval ergagerrent. There is scmething especiaily appropriate in this assignment, for the Texas was in a serse a sister ship to the destroyed Maine, having been designed at the same time and constructed, like the Maine, in a government yard instead of by @ private firm. The ships were named Maine and Texas to indicate in some de- gree the purpose of the government to honor all sections of the country in the nomenclature of the men of war. The na- tional antipodes were thus typified. The Texas was always known 4s a “hoodooed” ship. From her inception she was unfor- tunate, until recently. First her plans were savagely criticised. It was declared by many authorities that she would not float when launched, but that she would certainly “turn turtle.” But she was built, safely launched and then started on a career of mishaps that served to give her the reputation of being the most unfor- tunate vessel in ihe navy. Collisions, groundings and disablements occurred with alarming frequency. Meanwhile the Maine had proved @ comparatively brilliant suc- cess. Her work was uniformly satisfac- tory and she was seldom in trouble. But in the end she met with an appalling fate. Her misfortune was greater than all the mishaps to the Texas scores of times muiti- plied. At list the Texas has shaken off her “hoodoo.” Her work on the blockade was without a flaw. Her performance in the fighting off Santiago was equal to the best and now she is regarded as one of the cracks of the navy Captain Sigsbee was unforttnate in not being ready for a new duty after the Maine disaster until a sea- son when there were no large ships of the line available for his command and he was then given charge of the St. Paul, a splen- did ship, but unfit for participation in such heavy work of war as the public and Cap- tain Sigsbee’s friends weuld have liked to see him undertake. His work with ~he auxiliary cruiser, however, showed that the man who wrote that historic dispatch from Havana on the night of February 15 was capable of even greater triumphs. News of the fight with the torpedo gunboat Terror off San Juan was received with gratification by the country, and now that Sigsbee is to take charge of the Texas, even though at the fag end of the fighting, there is a very general feeling of satisfac- tion and of appreciation that the evident proprieties have been observed in the as- signment. ——___ + + —_______ The Orego: Claiming Chaplain. Chaplain McIntyre of the Oregon has assuredly missed his calling. He should be an advance agent. His sublime irdiffer- ence to the carking Mmitations of the truth, his cheerful acceptance of heavy responsibilities for large statements, his nonchalance in claiming everything in sight for his particular ship are all indica- uve of a genius for booming things which ougat to be utilized in some more promis- ing and remunerative field. Incidentally, he is complicating matters. He is setting up a temptetion to the cabin boy of the Gloucester to assert that the converted yacht sunk the Vizcaya, and he is inciting the cook of the Indiana to declare that that vessel unaided gobbled the Marla Theresa and the Oquendo. He is of course paling the claims of the self-styled friends of Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley in their raging controversy as tc the credit to be given each for his partici- pation in the naval fight of July 3. He is setting @ fashion in bestowing laurels for achievements on the sea that is likety to plague the service in later years when Mc- Intyre shall have ciscarded his vestments end gone forth to laud the merits of the Breatest show on earth, or to boom the at- tractions of the latest dramatic ster. Rev. Mcintyre excels as a mischief mak- er. He is rot content to describe the Oregon's magnificent advance and the col- lapse ®f the Speniards when the battle- ship began to pump out her heavy shells. He is not satisfied to demonstrate that neither Sampson nor Schley was really in it, but only Clark and McIntyre. The won- derful work of the Oregon would excuse a tremendous amount of direct and straight- forward bragging. But he adds to eulogies upon the Oregon slurs upon the Brooklyn and Iowa, which, he insinuates, shirked in the fight, and in his latest reported ad- dress at Denver he accuses Sampson of falsifying ‘facts In his official report in order to g2t a share of the Colon prize money. Unless Sampson, Schley and Evans are tc be dismissed on account of these charges the American navy must be prepared to part with their slanderer, the booming Mc- Intyre. 22 ____ If this uncertainty as to Spain’s accept- ance of cur terms keeps up much longer some medern aphorist will be tempted to paraphrase Gen. Sherman’s remark and de- clare that peace is closely akin to the warmer hereafter. ——_~++-+—____ The inhabitants of Spanish colonies are willing and anxious to be loyal. But they prefer to discriminate as to the other party to the transaction. ———+ +2 —___ if Sagasta is honestly desirous of secur- ing good government in Spain this country will lend him a copy of the Constitution of the United States. ——~++-______ After the achievements at Manila and Santiago it must be confessed that the Platt-Croker-Hill scrimmage locks very small indeed. —_—_ +2 —___ Aguinaldo still keeps his gold whistle, but does not biow it quite so loudly. ———_~++=—___ Spain’s One Policy. The war has developed the fact that Spain has had but one policy for her colo- nies—oppression and heavy taxation, and that as a result the natives have haied those set over them in office to do her bid- ding. The record is everywhere the same, whethgy one finds it in a rich possessibn Uke Cuba, where the “pickings” have been enormous, or in the Latronegs, where en ignorant and beggarly people, few in num- ber, live from hand to mouth. The island of Guam of the Ladrone group was visited by the Charleston, escorting the first expedition to Manila. The Span- ish commandant was taken unawares and carried aboard ship a prisoner, and an order obtained from him for the reporting 2G ETA of the armed force on the island at the lending. The troops came, with their arms and colors—two companies of about fifty men cach, one composed of Spaniards, the other of natives, The former were dis- armed and carried aboard ship prisoners, while the latter were simply disarmed] and sent about their business. The story of the somewhat comic affair Telates that the natives made no eonceal- ment of their pleasure at the turn things had so suddenly taken. They were evi- Gently very glad to see the Spaniards go. Poor as they were, they had been obliged te pay what, for them, was heavy tribute in the way of taxes to their masters. They had no knowledge of the new power that had appeared, but they seemed to take it for granted that the change must be for their benefit. That they did not issue an eloquent proclamation of welcome to the invaders, as was done in Porto Rico, was due entirely to the absence of a prinifing press and a flamboyant Spanish vocabu- lary. But for a lot of savages they suc- ceeded in making their welcome very clear and agreeable. The American flag was hoisted, but no garrison left In charge. At a later day a coaling station will be established there, ard American authority fully asserted. Does anybody believe that after the United States shall have been in possession awhile the natives of Guam will fe2l towerd the American garrison as they did towsrd the Spanish? Ignorant as they are, they ™may be expected to respond to good treat- ment and a fair chance to live. Considering the long range at which he is opérating, Th Roosevelt is making a remarkable record in the New York er natorial fight. + + The relationship between Secretary Long and Admiral Sampson is more gratifying than that which appears to exist between Secretary Alger and Colonel Roosevelt. + += —___ It has been said’ that the Briton dearly loves a lord. Mr. Hooley will put special emphasis on the “dearly.” The Philippine insurgents are in danger of conveying an impression that they are more business-like than patriotic. Es SHOOTING STARS, Self-Preservation. “That man,” remarked one Spanish sol- ier, “hasn’t the respett of anybody in his regiment.” “Is he lacking in bravery?" “I should say so. He is so much afraid of being hit by a bullet that he insists on getting as near the target as possible when cur gunners are practicing.” As He Viewed It. “What's the use of us taking hold of the Philippine Islands, anyhow?” asked Sen- ator Sorghum. “it'll merely add a lot of voting territory to what we've already got.” “Don't you want to see the influence cf this government extended.” “No, sir. Bringing in that far-away sec- tion simply looks to me like going to a lot of trouble to effect a gigantic gerrymander, without benefit, as far as I can see, to any political organization in particular.” “When I hyahs a man sayin’ he ‘would’n’ steal a pin,’ said Uncle Eben, “I some- times takes it as an evidence of great hon- esty. An’ den agin, it simply calls "tention to de fack dat de mahket price foh pins ain’ very big, nohow.” A Long-Felt Want. The man who tells governments what they should do Finds his efforts quite often unheeded. But in Spain, when that country starts business anew, His remarks will be thoroughly needed. Her Well-Meant Suggestion. “Charley,” said young Mrs. Torkins, “I have a great mind to write the government a letter. Of course the government has a great deal to attend to and can’t be expec ed to think of everything unless somebody reminds it.” “What's the matter?” inquired her hus- band, with a look of calm resignation. “I had a minute or two to glance over the news part of the paper and I saw an ar- ticle which said we might have a perma- rent standing army.” “What of that?’ “I think it dreadfully inconsiderate, to say the least. After all the marching it has had to do it seems to me that the govern- ment ought to let the army sit down a while.” Only Natural. It’s not the fact that buoyantly across the tropic sea ‘The radiant flag of freedom floats all con- fident and free, Nor yet that down-trod people wait with welcome far and near, ‘That causes Uncle Bam to beam with an uncommon cheer. But the boys will soon be with us. How their echoing steps will thrill! The boys who left the counting room, the college and the mill, And went away a-soldiering; who volun- teered to fight Not through fear of any mandate, but be- cause they knew ‘twas right. They are coming with assurance to each doubting pessimist; It’s about the safest country that the sun- light ever kissed. And when he sees them marching in mag- nificent array, You can’t blame Uncle Sam for feeling rather proud today. ———————>+2___. Slander on Dele. From the Chicago Evening Post. It is hard Mnes for Dole that he is about to lose his job as president of Hawaii just When the populist party is rapidly pro- ceeding out of business for lack of votes. It is a pity that such whiskers as his should be shorn of all opportunity to flour- ish in congenial political soll at a time when they have reached the perihelion of tropical luxuriance.—St. Louis Republic. President Dole gave up a lucrative and a distinctly honorable and congenial of- fice to become president of Hawaii. As judge of the supreme court he received $5,000 a year, and the position was held in the highest esteem in the Jeiands. But the position was not the man’s chief distinction. Personally he enjoyed the re- spect and affection which are accorded to those exceptional characters in which there is a commingling of intelectual force and ability with humen kindliness and the highest moral worth. It was for this reason, and not because he wanted a “job,” that he was made president of the young republic. His lack of personal am- bitien was notorious, and he accepted the office in response to a popular ‘“dema: == More ambitious men waited for ta v The policy now prevails to some extent of filling territorial offices with territorial residents.
