WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From our regular correspondent.)

If the Spanish Ministry had any proper idea of the public sentiment in this country it would not have wasted ten days in deciding whether to accept the terms of peace offered. If they knew a good thing when they saw it, they would have jumped at those terms. In the statement of the terms of peace, last week, the administration was given credit to which it was not entitled. Instead of providing that claims of Americans for property destroyed in Cuba should be paid by Spain and disclaiming responsibility for Spanish bonds issued a lien on the revenues of Cuba and Porto Rico, it mentioned neither, leaving those troublesome matters to be added to the numerous other troublesome things that will have to be tackled by the Commission that will negotiate the treaty of peace. The only certain things in the terms of peace are that Spain shall evacuate Cuba and Porto Rico and that we shall retain Manila and Manila Bay; everything else is to be settled by the Commission. * *

Notwithstanding the harsh critcism which has come from all sections of the country and from the holders of all shades of political opinion of the partiality shown by the Navy Department, in favor of acting Admiral Sampson and against Commodore Schley, that partiality still exists, and according to current gossip, is about to be strikingly exhibited by a shifting of orders for the purpose of giving Sampson an opportunity to splurge in European waters. The orders for sending a strong fleet to the coast of Spain, issued some weeks ago, for bluffing purposes, have never been revoked and the officials say that the fleet is to go for the purpose of “impressing Europe,” now that the pending cessation of hostilities and- tbe prospect of permanent peace have made further fighting apparently unnecessary. There being no further opportunity for Sampson to acquire either glory or prize money in Cuban waters, he is to be given command of the European fleet, and Commodore Watson, who was first assigned to that command, is to have command of all the ships that remain in Cuban waters. As Watson ranks Schley there will be no important command left for the latter. This Navy Department clique may succeed for a time in depriving Schley of honors he has won, but congress can be depended upon to see that justice is done him.

Secretary Alger’s mixing of politics with military matters has added nothing to his popularity nor to his reputation for political sagacity. In his eagerness to injure “Teddy” Roosevelt’s political fortunes, Secretary Alger went to the extent of publishing a private letter from Roosevelt to himself, in which slurs were thrown at the fighting qualities of the volunteer soldiers, in w order that he might accompany it with an official reprimand from himself to Roosevelt. Alger was so much afraid that the “round robin” signed by the Generals under Shafter, headed by Roosevelt, who is acting commander of a brigade, would be credited with the accelerated movement of the War Department in getting our soldiers away from Santiago, that he had aq official statement made to the press, saying that the soldiers were being moved in accordance with plans made before the publication of the “round robin” which, by the way, Roosevelt is accused of having furnished to the Associated Press. This need not fool anybody, as it says that the Secretary of War had sometime ago notified Gen. Shafter that his men would be brought back to the U. S. “as soon as the'fever subsided.” The fever has not subsided, hut the men are being brought back as fast as they are able to get aboard transports.

'there isn’t the slightest doubt that tbe *%und robm,” however touch it may have been. tinged with insubordination from a strictly military point of view, caused the men to be moved sooner than they would otherwise have been (moved, and that thereby many valuable lives were saved. Insubordination that breaks red tape that is killing our soldiers is not likely to receive popular condemnation; nor does it deserve it;
