Provisional Government for Cuba. The time is now at hand when_men will be sent to Cuba to officer the provisional gov-rnment to be established in the island. ‘Their task will be both important and diffi- should be selected with the Most especially should they thout prejudice against any part population, and of character and of the ability warranting a thorough discharg> of their duties. The Uni States is expected to give what may b ed an illustration to the people of Cuba of what good government is. Where partiality has been 2xhibited, impartiality, absolute and comp! should take its place. Where corruption nas run riot, honesty will be in order. Where caste has had its way and sway, the principle trat rich and poor alike ar2 entitled to the full protection of the law must be applied. In a word, when the rotten fabric of Span- ish rule falls there should rise in its place something on which all the people of the island may lean with confidenc> and cem- fert. These are things to be remembered now in the light of the clear purpese exhibited in certain quarters to cry down the Cubans as uttsrly unworthy of consideration. They @ flouted as the scum of the ea: gratitude, courag te, out character, pacity, and as fit only for life in the jun- gie. It is the theme of lament that the United States ever permitted itself to ckampion the cause of creat so abject and worthless.

The great bulk of the democratic vote in both houses of Congress was thrown against the annexation of Hawaii, which was the first step in the journey which the annexation ef Porto Rico will complete. Governor Stone says we need Porto Rico in our sys. tem of national defense. That was the strong argument in the case of Hawaii, but the democracy resisted it. And it is safe to say that had Hawaii been rejected Porto Rico could not now b: bre eht in, There car be no qustion of the political wisdom of those democrats who are remoy- rty as f ar aS por 2 from an at- xf opposition to the acqnisicion of ©, and who seck 16 Dlcans solely »€ the Philippines, in > repubticans them- selves ara not a unit ee —- Admirals Both, The Si sed the opinion at tue time that two rear admirals ought to come out of ¥ at Santiago, and that the President could not well err in naming them. He has named two, and he has not erred. The country will heartily indorse his selections. ~~ It is to be hoped that New York's canal scandal will not prejcdice the good credu- lous people of the state against the isth- man enterprise. a Protocols. The word protccol, used ir diplomacy to €enote the first rough draft of a treaty, subject to signature, comes from the Greek ard bas somewhat changed its original meaning. Derived I from “protos,” the first, and “kolla,” ¢ the whole word in its first sense meaas a leaf glued to the front of @ manuscript, doubtless a preface or ex- Blanatory note of s« eseription inti- mately relating to the matter of the man- uscript itsIf. From this significance of a prefatory memorerdum easily arose the in- ternational use of the word to describe the process of preparing for the formal work of making treaties, the protocol being for- merly printed as a preliminary part of the The protccol drawn yesterday for representatives of Spain .nd ure t tes is ef course not in verbal 1 of the ultimate treaty of terms the peace between the rations, but it embudies mod 4ll the essentials of that instrument. The treaty itself is no more nor less than a con- tract betwesa two nations, serving as does @ contract between individuals. As in bus- S$ oF personal relations a breach of con- tract leads to suits or reference to an arbi- trator, so in tnternat‘onal dealings the breach of a treaty leads either to a refer- €nce or to war. Thus the treaty has of itself no further binding force than is af- forded by the moral obligation that it en- tails and the threat of future evenis sure to grow out of a disregard by either party of the terms of the agreement. The protocol serves as a temporary mem- crandum pen-ling the formulation and sign- ing of the treaty. It thus bridges over the gap of time necessitated by the delays of diplomacy and the need in some cases, as the present, of a reference of the treaty to another body than that which frames ity ‘Thus both m Spain and the United States the treaty of peace will require ratification by the legislature, and it would be mas {- festly unwise and dangerous to rely upca mere verbal understandings of the agr e- ment or upon informal notes of the terms Cflered and accepted. Tuerefore the prote- col has all the force and effect of a treaty STAR. | uncn it ts abrogated by agreement, violated by either party or superceded by the treaty itself. Hence it serves all the purposes of a formal contract and may remain ir force for a prolonzed pericd, though custom dis- courages the indefinited reliance upon the protocol to preserve existing conditions in any international affair. International commissions and conven- tions are usually empowered to frame pro- tccols to embody their findings or rulings, which usually pass later into the treaty form. In the case of the maritime confer- ence held in in this city several years ago, for instance, protocols were signed by the attending delegates and served as interna- tional agreeménts for some time. Some of the terms have now pessed into mere dura- bie and formal shape, while others are yet to be given this force. Of course the pro- tccol is not necessarily binding upon the signatory powers, nor is the treaty binding until it has received its formal, final ratif- cation by the constitutional authority, but the sense of international law is adverse to the nullification of any such memoranda. Of course in the final work of treaty mak- ing the present protccol will serve as the basis of agreement and any departure from it by either side in the negotiations would be generally accepted as an evidence of bad faith while the ireorporatiori into the treaty of matter conflicting with the pro- tecol in any item would doubtless result in the rejection of the treaty by the tegisla- tive bedy of one of the countries. oe The Camp at Monta' Point. After Camp Alger, Tampa and Santiago it would seem as though we had learned enough to make a success of the camp at Montauk Point, Long Island, where the army of Santiago is being taken for recup- eration. But the facts thus far apparent de not disclose that advantage has been taken of the lessons taught by the records of the other camps. The state of affairs at this place is reported to be well-nigh scandalous, even in the initial state of the enterprise. The Star the other day noted the danger that the water supply would menace tne health of the troops and already this evil has come upon the soldiers. The wells are producing poor and possibly foul water, while a large pond foolishly relied upon for the mein supply at the start is found to be so brackish that the water from it makes the men sick, When the first detachment of soldiers reached the camp there s helter for them, and later arrivals have Leen forced to sleep in the rain and to subsist upon inadequate rations. Everything seems to have gone wrong. A strike among the carpenters building the tempcrary structures compli- cated matters further and there is every prospect that Montauk will soon be noted as one oy the blunders ef the war. There is no geod reason for these defici- encies. Explanations which avail to ex- euse the inevitable blunders of haste in meeting without due preparation emergen- cies in remote Santiago do not apply to the conditions at Montauk Point. There ts no lack of money with which to hire labor in sufficient quantity and with the proper amount of expedition and energy the neces- ry work at Montauk Point might have been finished in a few days. The decision to locete the troops at that place was reached three weeks ago, sufficiently far back to enable every bureau to have all in readiness to accommodate the home-coming troops with such comforts as can be given to the fighting fore Yet so much red tape has been unwound, so many formali- ties have been observed, that the camp is a chaos and there is a possibility that the sufferings of the men who have already withstood so much hardship at Santiago will at first be only slightly relieved. if the delays and the friction are due to the location then somebody tripped when the place was chosen. If the water supply is bad because of the exposure of the camp to the sea and the character of the land once more the burden of blame rests upon the selection. This was the case with Camp Alger. It is perhaps the case with ether concentration camps where sickness has developed.

Prier to the war with Spain many claims were advanced by students of warfare that the us> of modern scientific devices would materially alter the methods of campaign- ing, and would shift the range of casualties one way or the other, accerding to the equipment of the entagonists. In the naval fighting the modern machinery and appli- anc?s have assuredly shown their great su- periority over those of a few decades or even a few years ago, but in the compara- lively brief land campaigning less has been demonstrated. With tha exception that in a measure modern rifles, constructed ac- cording to the most approved scientific principles, have supplanted what Colonel Reosvelt in his letter to Secretary Alger called “archaic weapons,” and save in the use by Spain of smokeless powder, the fighting on land has proceeded along about the same lines as have been observ2d from time immemorial. There has been some firing of dynamite guns with excelient ef- fet. There has likewise been a good deal of telephoning on the battlefield, and per- haps in this respect the war on shore has stown its most modern phase, The replace- ment of the field telegraph by the field tele- phone has been a marked improvement, dis- pensing with the services of expert oper- ators for the transmission of messag2s and enabling commanders and subordinates to hold personal consultations over long dis- tan The military balicon, however, bas thus far proved of questionable value. That used at Santiago by the Americans drew the fire of the Spanish sharpshooters and | thus caused much suffering, without com- pensating by a material widening of the horizon or the securing of much valuable information regarding the position and in- tent of the enemy, It is claimed in behalf of the bailoon thai it should not have b2én floated from shore, but from one of the ships, and thus being out of range of fire it could have afforded assistance without in- volving the danger of loss. It may not be fair to judge of the value of the balloon from tnis singl2 use in the present war. Nothing has yet been heard from the bicycle In war, of which so much was writ- ten at one time, and which on paper prom- ised to facilitats in the quick movement of troops from place to place. Of course, the conditions in Cuba are, certainly at pres- ent, desperately adverse to the use of the bicycle, or Indeed, in soms degree, to the employment of any vehicle whatever. The badness of the roads has utterly precluded the use of even light carriers for >ither man or burden. What the case would have been in this respect in some civilized coun- try provided with good roads is, of course, @ question to be left for th: future to de- cide. There is one excellent road in Porto Rico, but thus far nothing has been heard there. THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1898-12 PAGES. the complste reliance of the wheelman upon the quality of his thoroughfare for the best use of his machine would seem to put the bicycle at a very low valuation as @ military factor in actual campaigning. Few roads can stand the heavy hauling necessitated by the advance of an army, Th> wagon trains employed by a moving force soon cut up any but the very finest and hardest track, and unless the wheel- men coutd be kept always in the advance, taking advantage thus of the original ex- cellence of the roads, thzy would be at a serious disadvantage. In the matter of treating the wounds re- celved in battle, however, scientific raeth- ods, as far as the facts are known, hav? proved of inestimable service. The use of antiseptic dressings and of newly discov- ered remedies has apparently kept the d2ath roll to a point that was not possible with the appliances and means at hand during the civil war. Surgery has advanced materially in these few decades, and the invention of the X-ray machine has given operators a means for accurately locating nIssfles that is vastly superior to the probe and has doubtless saved both limbs and lives. In this department the modern meth- ods have apparently more than justified the claims of those who foresaw for them a brilliant success. It is gratifying to dis- cover that in the Santiago campaign :mod- ern sci2nce has done more to save lives in war then to take them. ——_~ e+ —___ Richard Croker is not sound in his calen- lation when he assumes that because there are now more great heroes than great po- litical bosses, the pepular demand is likely to go his way. ————__ + ++ ____ It may be quite a while before some of the American officers are as friendly with one another as the private soldiers are with the Spaniards. 0 Mr. Bland and Mr. Bryan were stronger on the question of currency contraction than they will be on territorial expansion. oe General Blanc> may as well put the tin cover over his typewriter and go home. —_—— + +e —___ SHOOTING STARS. The Intention. “Do you think that the war is over?” asked one Spanish official. “The war has been over a long time,” was the answer. “The question is whether we can manage to conceal the fact any longer.” Climatic. The land fs getting cooler, No hot wave brings despair, For it feels the bracing nature Of its military air. The Whirligiz of Time. “I heard quite a compliment for you,” said the young woman, “A friend of mine who heard you speak in Washington said had a wonderful presence.” Well,” answered Senator Sorghum, rather gloomily, “things go by fits and starts in this life. They're predicting a notzworthy absence for me in a year or 0.” Habit. “I thought I had him silenced,” remarked the man whose miid stoops to small things. “But I hadn't.” “fo whom do you refer?” “That old inhabitant who is always de- claring that it’s the hottest or the coldest weather the city has known. “I strolled up to him and said, ‘This is very moderate Weather we're having.’ ‘Yes,’ said he, ‘to my personal knowledge it's the moderatest Weather we've had in sixty years.’ ” Deep Design. “What's your objection to hurrying up peace?” inquired one member of the Span- ish cabinet. “Well,” replied another, “you know this country’s pretty hard up and we've got to economiz>. I thought ‘perhaps we could Keep up hostilities long enough for ihe United States to assume the cost of board and lodging for a few more prisoners.”’ Succinetly Stated.

The horse car is rapidly becoming as ob- solete as the war chariot of antiquity, and after a while specimens wil! be found only in museums if anywhere. It is high time they went out. They put a Strain on the gentle and docile animals which drew them greater than Nature intended them to sus- tain, and their use was a continuing cruel- ty. “Yhere are plenty of other employments for the horse and his deliverance from this killing one deserves an exulting “Houyhn- hnm” celebration. In smailer towns and cities the horse car will probably maintain its activities for awhile yet, but it seems doomed to extinc- tion everywhere, the new forces of pro- pulsion being broad and general as the casing air and as constant and Simitiess in their flow at the sun’s beams. When Emer- son said hitch your wagon to a star he may have had a prophetic vision of the electric spark to which all vehicles are destined to be hitched sooner or later. —E Grover's Regrets. From the Oakland (Cal.) Tribune. It is to be hoped that the President did not fail to send an invitation to Paramount Blount to attend the flag-raising exercises at Honolulu. It is just five years since Cleveland’s lord high commissioner pulled down Old Glory from the flagpole on which it is now about to be hoisted. In some ways Grover must regret that he missed the opportunity of adding Hawaii to the United States under a democratic admin- istration. All his blockading tactics went for naught anyhow, in addition to which it is certain that the residents of the islands have now become stanch republicans to a man. Expanding Trade. From the Denver Times. ‘The annexation of Hawaii, the indepen- dence of Cuba and the possession of Porto Rico will opea up to American producers and to American tradesmen vast new fields of industrial enterprize. And whatever the outcome of the peace negotiations as to the status of the Philippines it ts certain that our trade with these valuable and produc- tive islands will be greatly increased as one oz the results of the war. American enter- prise and capital will be turned in this di- rection. ———————~+ +e —__ Lay the Cable, i From the Chicago News.
