THE little outing of Camar&'S squadron in the Suez canal cost Spain, in toll and pilotage, the sum of 8140,000, at a time when the government of the Dona hasn't money to throw at the birds.

PEACE talk in Germany, France and Austria cuts no figure. The only peace talk that will count with this country must come from Madrid direct and must come properly garnished with humility and contrition.

PBOBABLY the Ladrones will bo the favorite American resort for nervous exhaustion. The Spanish governor of the islands had heard no news for three months, and thought the cannon balls fired iD his bay were some new kind of complimentary salute.

TUE interviewers who asked Cervera "how he liked America" were evidently acting from force of habit. Cervera is no prima donna and can hardly be expected to feel toward as as if he were the recipient of the box office receipts of New York theatres.

CAPTAIN SIGSBEE says the success of the American navy ip due to constant work to attain the utmost efficiency. "Every point of discipline, gun practice and co-operation," he remarks, "we havo been studying incessantly and seriously, and our opponents evidently have aot."

A LATE army idea is to make of aluminum all the metal a soldier carries except his riile. Even buttons and shoe pegs are to be of aluminum. Some of the Pennsylvania artillery companies are provided with aluminum pails holding three gallons, in which all the water used is sterilized by boiling over the camp fire.

WHEN Col. William Jennings Bryan reaches Jacksonville, where he has been ordered to report for duty under Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, these two possible candidates for the presidential nomination by the Democrats will have plenty of time to talk the matter over and reach an understanding. Unless something occurs before all the glory of the war is reaped by others, both of them are in danger of being sidetracked.

REAR ADMIHAL SAMPSON and hisllagBhip, the New York, were in at the death of Cervera's flying squadron, but all unite in giving to Capt. Clark and the Oregon, who were in it from start to finish, and took a crack at every one of the six Spaniards, the lion's share of the glory of that "good hunting" in the waters oft' Santiago. Wherefore Capt. Clark is justified in saying in his official report of the chase, "consequently I am persuaded that but for the officers and men of the Oregon, who steamed and steered the ship and fought and supplied her batteries, the Cristobal Colon, and perhaps the Vizcaya, would have escaped."

A I.OCAL Democratic paper publishes the statement that the editor has heard Republicans declare that the case against Mr. Hutton should not have been tried. The statement is probably false but if there are 6uch men they are dishonest men. If Mr. Hutton owes this county money, as the jury has found that he does, it is only right that he should pay. If he refused to pay it until a lawsuit forced him to do so, it was only right that he be sued. Any fair man will agree to the above. Two wrongs do not make a right and the assertion that Mr. Hutton was only following a precedent does not prove that he had the right to take money which belonged to Montgomery county.

THE Philippines, which are by far the largest and most populous of Spain's Pacific colonies, have an area of 114,320 square miles, or greater than Nevada or Colorado, and 7,000,000 of inhabitants, or over 1,000,000 more than were contained in the state of New ork in 1890. The Ladrone Islands have 420 square miles and 11,000 population, while the area of the Caroline Islands is 500 square miles and the population 30,000. A dispute about sovereignty in the Carolines in nearly caused war between Germany and Spain. The Suhi Islands, also Spanish, which lie in the vicinity of tho Philippines, Ladrones and Carolines, will probably be wrested from Spain if the war lasts six or eight weeks longer. No one can tell yet bow much of these groups of islands the country, after it considers the matter carefully at the end of the war, will decide to retain. Enough of them probably will be held, however, to swell Uncle Sam's Pacific empire, which will have the Alaskan and Hawaii as a nucleus, to port&nt dimensions.

Islands

AS TO CUBA.

Indianapolis News: It is important that our government should be prepared to define its purpose toward Cuba when freed. In a sense it has already defined its policy, for in the resolution acknowledging the independence of the Cubans and demanding the withdrawal of the Spanish forces from Cuba are these words:

That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over said island, except for the pacification thereof, and asserts its determination, when that is accomplished, to leave the government and control of the island to its own people

Here is the voice of congress and of the President, speaking in the clearest tones, not in behalf of the present sccalled insurgent government, but in behalf of freedom and independence for the people of Cuba. This declaration binds the country and both politcal parties. This was less than three months ago, and yet only the other day. Mr. Maurice Thompson, in a labored article in the Journal said that there were "ethical" reasons why we should hold Cuba. Here are his words:

But there is a higher ground than military need upon which our duty to take Cuba and hold it forever must ultimately rest. It is ethical ground. Cuba needs our civilization and our government to lift her people out of darkness into light.

Mr. Thompson is not alone in holding this view, though we imagine there are few men who would rest it on ethical grounds. We do not believe our people will consent to be so misled, but at the same time there is enough strength in the annexation sentiment to make it necessary to remind men of the position our governhas voluntarily assumed, and to insist that it shall keep its pledge. In Mr,

not! I foreign policy ths United States

from which we quoted receni,!™ is the following: When Cuba shall be freed from Spanish rule, we may expect its people to mistrust the new power which has driven out the old. This mistrust can not be allayed by a joint 'resolution. Our conduct must convince the Cubans that we intend neither to annex nor despoil, but to aid in establishing an independent neighbor.

If reports may be believed, this mistrust is already beginning to show itself. It is natural that this should be so, for nations are so rarely governed by disinterested motives that even the Cubans are not to be blamed if they suspect that our purpose is conquest and permanent occupation. Therefore, we ought to be prepared when the time comes to make our intention perfectly clear.

Those who argue in favor of annexation start with a very large assumption, namely, that the Cubans cannot govern themselves. But we are bound to give them a chance. We should not assume that the people of Cuba are unfit for self-government in order to justify the breaking of our pledged word Here again Mr. Randolph-speaks with great wisdom and fairness, lie says:

The peace of Cuba will be our first concern, but we must not set no an unattainable standard of order for the Cubans, and then annex their island on the plea that they cannot govern it. Cuba may wait long for the order which we prescribe for ourselves, and, indeed, the peace of a Spanish-Ameri-can state of the oest type is not the peace of the United States.

It is to be remembered that we intervened in the Spanish-Cuban war because we thought that Cuba ought to be free to govern herself. Our motive was clear and above suspicion. Siuce congress spoke on this subject the situation has changed in no such way as .to warrant us 'in changing sour purpose. If the people of Cuba were, as we said they were, free and independent last April, they are free and independent now. If we were ever bound by our declaration we are bound by it to-day. And those that believe that governments have moral obligations ought not to be, and we do uot believe will be, influenced by those who are already whispering annexation, and talking about the "ethical" basis for a repudiation of our solemn pledge made ia the face of the world.

SPANISH officials in Havana admit the destruction of the Alfonso II, but then there are vet left the often-des-troyed Terror and the scared-to death Temerario for the Dons to fall back on. Never before in the history of the world was there presented such a naval opera bouffe performance as the one Spain has presented in this wa»\

THE explosions of the magazines of Cervera's ships are said to have bent the keels upwards. The upward bend of the Maine's keel was thought to be conclusive evidence of an exterior explosion.

BURGLARS THAT BURGLE.

Tlie.v Enter tlie House of Jolin Fall on South Green Street lint are Scared Away Ily the OrieH of tlie

Young Ladies. *.v

Tuesday night burglars effected an entrance to the residence of John Fall, on south Green street, by climbing up over a rear shed and forcing an upstairs window. There was no one at home at the time but the Misses Fall and they heard the burglars as they entered the house. At first they did uot realize what occasioned the noise, but when one of the men opened an adjacent door and set his foot down harder than the conditions warranted, they at once tumbled to the situation and proceeded to let the neighborhood know that all was not well. Policeman McCoy lives near by and he was quickly on the scene. He found the young ladies considerably agitated, as was only natural, and after relieving their fears he proceeded to make a thorough search of the premisep. No burglars were found and it is presumed that so soon as they realized that their presence in the bouse was detected that thoy tore out for the distant woods. Burglaries have been quite numerous here during the past week or so and the work is self evidently that of local talent. The police are now shadowing several suspicious parties.
