THE EV NG STAR has a regular and permanent Family Cireulation much more than the combined cir- enlation of the other Washington dailies. Av a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7In 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 simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ecler on the Cubans. pservations with re- eler’s spect to the Cubans are entitled to very high consideration and will receive it.

The United States is responsible for law and order wherever its flag flies. All the people of Cuba, whatever their interests or nationality, or whatever part they may have played in the revolt against ain, must recognize this fact. And it specially obligatory upon the Cubans to do so, since the invasion of the island ts in their behalf, and the fruits of the pacification inaugurated, when ripe, are to be handed over to them. For the insurge on any acount, to permit themselves to be arrayed against the power which has come to their rescue, and whose intentions toward them are not to be Jucged from the desires of certain unfriend- ly individuals, would be a blunder of the proport.ons of a crime. As The Star stated the other day, the Froposition that the United States now play the krave in this Cuban business is based upon the confession that it has already played the fool. It is no less insulting than unwise. A successful knave is never evolved from a although a knave, after a long indulgence, as in the case of Spain, may at last degenerate into a fool, and sadden the world with a most melan- exhibition. The purpose of the Presi- nd of the American people is to deal avly with the people of ifficult it may prove to be ble government on the fool, and dot Threatened. of the day is been received pad been led at the bare ‘The Dynasty et the a ion. The ople, it was as- would ne The war was hat of the politicians, but of the peo- ple. They had demanded the preservation of the colonies at any and ail cost, and woe be to any minister or to the queen regent if a foot of Spanish soil should be ceded to the enemy. After a lively whirl of only fous months Cuba and Porto Rico are surrendered out- right and American terms as to the La- drones and the Philippines are certain of acceptance. But there is no outburst in Spain. The country ts tranquil. The queen regent and her son have not been hustled out of the country, nor has Senor Sagasta lost his office. The people show no signs of frenzy, but rather of relief that the end at any price has come.

This latter consideration is, how- ever, important. effort on the part an public to welcome General stically as the citizens of soe Jobn Hay. ‘n Wisely in offer- Department portfolio soon to dered by Judge Day to the present gland, John Hay. By untry is assured of a = President mm the ¢ continuance of e firm Americanism which has her racterized the conduct of the for relations of this government under the present administration. Mr. Hay is in many ways espec ially fitted for the Post. His entire career has been such as to train him for the performance of the try- American premier sati and to the nation. His ice under President Lincoln gave him an insight into the inner workings of the government at one of its momentous aad could not have been other- wise than helpful and instructive to the young American who had just graduated with high konors from college and was Tipe for impressions and lessons in the broader school of experience. After the Sssassination of President Lincoln Mr. Hay Was sent abroad in a diplomatic capacity and during the various periods of his serv- ice under the State Department he became personally familiar with at least three of the continental capitals, Paris, Vienna and Madrid, thereby laying an excellent foun- dation for his later diplomatic triumph, after an interval of many years. The period of political inactivity Mr. Hay profitably employed in literary and historical pur- suits, and his collaboration with his former associate, Mr. Nicolay, in the preparation of the great life of Lincoln that has proved such a valuable contribution to American letters necessarily kept alive a vivid inter- est in American affairs and in the stages of the national progress, for the writing of Lincoln's life involved the study of vracti- cally all the constructive and destructive elements at work in the governmental or- Sanizgtion from remote ‘When, eighteea months ago, Mr, reappeared upon the scene as An active participant in the country's affairs, it was as ambassador at the Court of St. James, recognized as the foremost diplomatic post in the gift of the government, owing to the closeness & THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1898-12 PAGES. of the relations with England and the vast importance of the common interests of the two natior The n ambassador went to London in what at once a propitious and an embarrassing period. Conditions were ripe for a re-awakening of the spirit of brotherhood and friendliness between the | rations that had been interrupted by va- rious unpleasant incidents. At the same time Mr. Bayard, in earning the rather thoughtless applause of the English peo- ple by his pronounced Anglicism, had thrown obstacles in the way of his suc- cessor, inasmuch as the American senti- ment had deepened in opposition to the Delawarean proportionately as he had won the esteem of the English people. To seek to foster the spirit of kindliness and to cement still closer the ties of blood and kindred was, therefore, a delicate task for Mr. Hay, for he ran the serious risk of alienating the sympathies of his own peo- ple, which had been abruptly withdrawn from his predecessor when he undertook to flatter the Englishmen at the expense of Americans and American institutions. That Mr. Hay has won a high degree of English appreciation of the person and the influ- ence of our ambassador without detracting from the good opinion of his own country- men is in no degree questionable. He has Succeeded completely in fostering the val- uable friendship of the country to which he was accredited and stands higher than ever in the estimation of America. His Position has been especially difficult’ dur- ing these last few months, because of the war with Spain, which Involved heavier responsibilities at London than have been known by the American diplomatic repre- sentative there for many seasons. The neutrality of Great Britain was early se- cured and under such circumstances that a coalition of the continental powers in behalf of Spain and against the United States was effectually prevented. It is not too much to believe that Mr. Hay deserves a large share of the credit for this out- come. No more generous applause greets the announcement of his new appointment than that of England, finding a hearty and sincere echo from all parts of this coun- try. The new Secretary is a man of cul- ture and wealth and is in all respects equipped for the task of managing the American foreign relations during what is sure to prove one of the most important periods in the history of the United States. 3 ____ The Bight-Inch Gun at Santiago. Early in the campaign The Star called at- tention to the fact that as between the ships of Cervera’s squadron, then headed for these shores, and those assembled to oppose them the Americans had a decided advantage over their enemies in the item of eight-inch guns, and it was indicated that the best opinion held to the view that this type of weapon represents the happy and effective medium between the heavy guns of large calib2r and the rapid- fire guns of the secondary batteries. There have been few events tending to throw light on some of the speculative views of the war, but as far as the record stands The Star's forecast for the eight-inch gun is amply verified. In the fight off Santiago July 3 this weapon received such a vindi- cation as should go far toward securing for it a mcre prominent place in naval ar- mament in the future than it has hereto- fcre enjoyed. In that fight the heaviest guns did little, while those of smaller cali- ber did appalling execution. They were worked faster, and time was an element of vital value. The savage concentration of rapid fire upon the Spaniards soon drove them ashore, crippled. The eight-inch gun is practically the heaviest of the ship's weapons that can be used for speedy serv- ice. It has some of the advantages that belong specifically to the secondary battery, while it throws a sufficient weight and ex- plosive charge to work terrible destruction at the target. There were thirty-two of these guns on the American vessels par- ticipating in this fight, and as far as the facts can be ascertained from the various reports they did the greatest damage. Be- yond the eight-inch caliber the sole advan- tage gained in increasing the size of the weapon is in adding to the range and to the impact force of the projectile. The lat- ter contributes, of course, to its armor- piercing qualities. In the battle of July 3 the Spanish ships were but slightly pro- tected with armor, and the eight-inch gun was practically as serviceable as were the greater guns, while the fighting was well within its range. Of course the guns of larger caliber are necessary, as are those at the other end of the line, but if this battle is to be taken as a standard or an index of modern naval conditions it is clear that the eight-inch gun is sure to stand high in the esteem of naval authori- ties the world over as a result of that one *s work at Santiago. ————— Completing the Tannel. it is gratifying to learn from today’s news account that the engineer officer de- tailed to conduct the work of completing the abandoned aqueduct tunnel reports that the project is being developed as rap- idly as circumstances will permit. Wash- ingtonians are deeply interested in this un- dertaking, which so closely affects the wel- fare of the capital through its relation to the water supply. There is no local ques- tion as to the feasibility of the plan; nor is there any doubt as to the need of the addition to the water service that the com- pleted tunnel and reservoir will afford. It is to be noted that the present plan is for the government to do the work directly, not trusting to contractors. Experience with contractors in this tunnel has been such as to suggest that the day-labor method is superior. The people will watch the progress of the work with keen in- terest. + «= ______ The Spanish newspepers are now, in all seriousness, refusing to honor Christopher Cclumbus and accusing him of being an evil genius.

As will be seen from an interview with him, printed in today’s news columns, Lieut. Carranza, author of the famous Toronto letter, which caused the breaking up of the Spanish spy system on this con- tinent, takes a very ill-natured view of the war and its results and demonstra- lions. According to this pessimist the Mer- rimac affair was the only incident of any note, and he deprecates the idea that the American soldier or sailor won any renown for himself by his work in the campatgn. It was all chance, favorable to the United States. In most respects the outgivings of this evicted chief spy, who now goes home doubtless to pose before his people as a great man, are worthy of no attention. But in one respect he assumes so curiously con- tradictory an attitude that a word of note is deserved. In the course of the interview he declared that Gen. Shafter would never have captured Santiago but for the assist- ance of the Cuban insurgents, who render- ed him invaluable service by stopping the city’s supplies. In the next breath Car- ranza remarked that the Americans have yet to find what a gond-for-nothing fellow the Cuban insurgent is. The American es- timate of the Cuban fortunately dees not depend upon such shifty standards. —_— ++ = —___ Don’t Handicap the Little Ones. ‘The war is sure to be followed by an epi- demic of hero-worship baptisms. Children may not wholly escape the infliction of tn- congruous and often ridiculous names chosen by their over-enthusiastic parents, in the mistaken belief that ft is a display of patriotism thus to burden their offspring. ‘These baptismal sacrifices are to be dis- couraged. History needs no such -alds in the recording of the passing of events as the dubbing of Mr. Smith’s latest son “Schley,” nor will the posterity be any hap- pier, wiser or better because Mrs. Jones chooses to call her youngest daughter ““Ma- nila.” Yet this will be done, with many variations. There is often blundering in the bestowal of names upon the innocents, and it is not to be doubted that many a man has been permanently embarrassed by the giving of cognomens by parents with- out discrimination or taste. If to this ten- dency is now to be added the temptation to drive patriotism into the family Bible and mortification into the hearts of the next generation the case calls for protest. —~+-____ The New York political managers are sol- emnly assuring Mr. Roosevelt’s friends that the rolling stone gathers no moss.

I never saw any- body that was so hard to find and so easy to whip when you once get him cornered.” Stern Necessity. Jn Fancy’s realm the youth would stray ’Mid scenes of gentle mirth. But all the same he has to pay His rent on solid earth. “Sonny,” said Uncle Eben, “do yoh bes’ whah you is needed, an’ doan’ was’e yoh life tryin’ ter be sumpin what nature didn’ cut you out for. Remembuh dat de misfit man, like misfit clothes, allus comes cheap.” Embarrassing. “I felt really sorry for Mr. Meekton the other night,” said the man who is given to gossip. “You know, he used to be quite a singer in his youth.” “Did his voice fail him?” “No. He didn’t give it a chance. Some thoughtless person asked him to sing that old bass solo, ‘Let All Obey,’ in the pres- ence of his wife. A Relief, I've learnt a lot o’ Spanish words, I've got so I kin tell "Bout ‘“‘ultimatums,” “protocols” An’ “armistice,” as well. But joyously I hail the time When I Kin rest my brain By askin’ “How’s the price of wheat?” An’ “What's the chance o’ rain?” Old friends is best. These recent themes Were dazziin’, it is true. The clash of steel—the roar of guns— They thrilied us through an’ through, But swords may turn to plowshares now. In comfort, once again, We'll query, “‘How’s the price o’ wheat?” An’ “What's the chance o’ rain?” ———_~+2—___ Philippine Problem and Monroeism. From the Cincinnatl Enquirer, The Monroe doctrine hasn't much to ao with the question of the disposition of the Philippine Islands. It applies to affairs on this side of the Atlantic. It does not re- quire us to interfere with well-established governments and well-governed European possessions in this country, but it is against further European acquisition in our dis- trict, and the war to expel Spain from Cuba and Porto Rico has been strictly within the Monroe and Jeffersonian lines. War was not declared on the Monroe doctrine, though. The appearance of Dewey's fleet in Manila bay was an incident of the war to gain the freedom and independence of Cuba. Carrying on a war against Spain, we had a right to strike the enemy wher- ever we could find him. One of the most celebrated naval battles of our civil war was so close to a Spanish port that the citizens enjoyed it as a spectacle. The Mon- roe doctrine neither forbids us to take the Philippine Islands nor requires us to. The world acquiesces in what we may deter- mine. All the .contentions we may have cannot be held down to the rules of the Monrose doctrine. Great Britain and other European countries have many valuable islands as close to our continent as Cuba and Porto Rico are, and there is no thought of interfering with them, Devotion to the Monroe doctrine doves not require us to. Neither does it require us to keep our hands off the Philippines, the Carolines or the Ladrones, or anything else that comes our way through a justifiable war. ——_+ +2 —____ To Help Pay Expenses. From the Philadelphia Ingutrer, Is Spain going to pay all of Uncle Sam's bills for this war? No one exp2cts her to. No demand has been made on her. It would be foolish to do so. She has no money. She won't pay a cent. Tren what ts all this absurd talk about “imperialism’—a term used by shallow- pated individuals who do rot know the meaning of it—when Uncle Sam propos3s to take an island or two to help pay ex- penses? eo Six and Half a Dozen. From the Oakland (Cal.) Tribune. The war is actually over without Bryan having been heard of in any way, except as on the army pay roll. His democratic admirers are accusing McKinley of kee} ing him in the background, but then if he had been sent to the front they would have said the President was endeavoring to get him shot, so it is as broad as it is long. —>+2=—____ Joe a Joseph. From the New York Mail and Express. Most of the reports announcing the ar- rival at Montauk Point of the rough riders and other troops from Santiago state that among those on board the transports were Gen. ‘Joe’ Wheeler and Lieut. “Joseph” Wheeler, jr. Here is a distinction in fa- miliarity between father and son which speaks eloquently of the affectionate re- gard in which the former has come to be held by the people of the country at large. >> —___ Great Dates. From the Springfield Republican. ‘The great dates of the war are easy to fix in the mind: February 15. April 21. May 1. July 1. July 3. 2 August 12.
