EDITORIAL COFLMBNT.
Rev. Dr. Swallow's reckless at
taet upon General Gobin and the
assertion that the General propos
ed to nse his military power to
make Republican votes among the
men under his command is license
run wild. Dr. Swallow seems to
believe that a speaker on the stump
can make the most preposterous
and foolish charges without dam
aging his own reputation. That is
a. great missake. What I)r. Swal
low said about General Gobin does
riot hurt General Gobin at all.
Everybody knows that General
Gobin is a straightforward, honest
gentleman and soldier, who would
be the last man to .attempt to un
duly influence the vote of the men
in his regiments. But what Dr.
Swallow said does hurt Dr. Swal
low. It causes intelligent people
who read his remarks to think
lightly of him, to conclude that he
is not to be taken seriously and to
dismiss both him and his political
utterances into the waste of unre
garded thing.—Phila. Inquirer.
Let us Have Peace.
There is no longer a reasonable
doubt that peace will be declared
iu a few days on our own terms.
Greatly to the surprise of the
President he found 011 Saturday
afternoon that M. Cambon, the
French Ambassador, was not
merely an intermediary between
the two governments, but that he
was a plenipotentiary on behalf of
Spain, with full power to arrange
all the details for ending the war.
He objected to only one minor
point in our reply to Spain's re
quest for terms and this was modi
fied, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
This apparently had reference to
the future of the Philippines, but
.just what it was has not been an
nounced and will not until receipt
«. 112 the reply of the Spanish Cabinet
which is looked for tomorrow. It
is expected that it will accept all
the terms offered by us. It is hard
to believe anything else, since M.
Cambon was not only a plenipo
tentiary. but received minute in
st ructions covering every detail, so
that Spain would be guilty of per
fidy in refusing to ratify what
Cambon has with authority ac
cepted. This is one of the most
-striking events in the history of
diplomacy and is honorable alike
to both countries. President .Mc-
Kinley has steadfastly refused to
Allow any other nation to interfere
oven in a friendly way, and Spain
took the manly course of opening
negotiations directly by the natural
channel, and went further by giv
ing Cambon full power to settle
the difficulties. Thus a tedious
exchange of diplomatic notes was
averted. It is.the most straight
forward act of Spain for many
years and makes a distinctly good
impression.
The terms are apparently en
tirely satisfactory and there is 110
doubt of their prompt ratification
iiy the Senate. We get Porto Rico
and practically get Cuba, since we
sure sponsor for her future and the
logic of events as well as the strict
fulfillment of our promises will lead
her into the American fold. We
get a coaling station in the La-
drones and apparently all we want
in the Philippines, though on this
point we are without definite in
formation. A cessation of hostili
ties is likely this week and the boys
will come marching home, most of
them without having seen an
enemy. It is evident however,
that we shall maintain a small army
in Cuba and Porto Rico, and some
of the volunteers will be held tem
porarily for that duty. It may
also be necessary to send more
troops to the Philippines in case
Aguinaldo gets obstreperous,
though it is likely we have troops
enough there to garrison that por
tion of the Island of Luzon that
falls to our lot by the treaty.
It was just exactly one hundred
days from the breaking out of the
war until Cambon accepted our
terms, and we have not met a
' single reverse in that time. We
have destroyed the two Spanish
fleets, captured an entire army
after three well-fought battles and
control most of Eastern Cuba. Less
I than three hundred men have
| fallen in battle and the total deaths
will not foot up five hundred,
j though fever may yet increase that
number. Until Spain gives her
answer, however, the war will be
prosecuted with vigor, but we fully
expect that before another battle
peace will have been declared.
This war, started in the interests
of humanity, will have a beneficial
effect upon civilization in general,
and will raise the nation in its own
eyes, and will make it more re
spected abroad. The sacrifice has
been relatively small to accomplish
so much, though actually it has
been great, for some of our best
blood has been spilt in the brief
war. We emerge from the war
self-respecting and respected by
the world. We shall enter apon a
new era of prosperity, for in Cuba
and Porto Rico there will be found
immense fields for American capital
and enterprise. There is no feel
ing of animosity against Spain any
longer. She accepted the gage of
battle, has been defeated and has
in humility asked for peace. She
will get it at a terrible price, but
that is her own fault.
Thus is the Maine avenged!
WASHINGTON *LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 1898.
President McKinley's reply to
the Spanish "feeler" as to the
terms upon which we would nego
tiate peace, which is now in the
hands of the Spanish Ministry, is
not only liberal, it is, under the
circumstances magnanimous. It
provides for the evacuation of
Cuba and Porto Rico, the former
to have an independent govern
ment, under the protection of the
I'. S., and that the latter shall be
come our property, Spanish troops
upon both to be sent home at the
expense of Spain, and leave the
question of what shall be done
with the Philippine Islands, to be
settled afterwards. If Spain is
wise, she will lose no time in ac
cepting these terms, as it is very
certain that if the war is continued
the terms will grow harder and
harder, but for Spain to display
wisdom will be a new thing under
the sun. The French Ambassa
dor, who is now also the Spanish
Minister, accepted the terms, but,
of course, his acceptance goes for
nothing until confirmed by Spain.
Our preparations for pushing the
campaigns in Porto Rico and the
Philippines have not been stopped,
and if Spain refuses the terms or
attempts to gain time by quibbling,
the plans for sending Commodore
Watson's fleet to Spain,which were
deferred in order to give Spain a
chance to ask for peace, will at
once be carried out. It is doubt
ful whether any other country than
the l". S., would have been so
generous to a defeated foe as not
to insist upon the payment of a
large money indemnity; it is also
doubtful whether the Spanish char
acter is capable of appreciating
that generosity.
The result of the first week of
the campaign of (Jen. Miles in
Porto Rico, have been more than
pleasing to President McKinley
and every member of his Cabinet,
notwithstanding the attempt 011
the part of some of the yellow
journals, to create the impression
that the relations of Secretary
Alger and (Jen. Miles had become
unfriendly because the latter had
not conducted the campaign in ac
cordance with Alger's orders The
same sort of stories were circulated
about Secretary Alger and (Jen.
Shafter, while the Santiago cam
paign was under way, but (Jen.
Shafter has since stated that he
was allowed to conduct his cam
paign 011 his own judgment, and
was never at any time hampered
in the slightest degree by orders
from the war department. It is
well known in Washington that
(<en. Miles has supreme control of
the Porto Itican campaign, which
was planned by himself, and that
neither President McKinley nor
Secretary Alger lias interfered with
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1898.
him or expect to have any cause to
do so. The administration has
the utmost confidence in Gen.
Miles. That confidence has been
fully justified by what he has ac
complished in a single week. The
entire southern end of the island
including its second city and a
number of smaller ones, is under
our (lag; and not a single Ameri
can life has been lost. Hurrah for
Miles!
Brigadier < ieneral Chas. P. Ea
gan, Commissary General of the
army has made public a scathing
denunciation of Mr. Robert !>.
Roosevelt, for having written a
letter to the Secretary of the Sons
of the American Revolution.charg
ing shameful incapacity or infa
mous dishonesty in the commis
sary department. The tenor of
(ien. Kagan's remarks, which
make a column of nonpareil may
be judged from the following quo
tation: "Notoriety is what Mr.
Roosevelt wants, and lie is bound
to have it. He deserves it —he
stayed at home. He did right to
stay at home. Notoriety is what
lie is after; we see it in every line
of his writing. He carefully
avoids giving a name or a date.
Of course we know why. He
could not do it and tell the truth.
But he could manufacture a letter
in such shape and form as to bring
misery and distress to every father
and mother, wife and sister of the
men at the front, who did not
know that the disingenious repre
sentation of a lawyer for the pur
pose of notoriety were what they
were reading, not a statement of
facts, not a true 01* fair representa
tion of the action of officers nor
the truth regarding the situation
in the field, but a low, libellous,
scandalous villification of honor
able men."
Sickness continues to increase in
Gen. Shafter's army at a rate that
would be alarming were it not for
the small number of deaths. As
it is, there is much uneasiness, and
plans for bringing the men back to
the I'. S., at the earliest possible
moment are being perfected.
Dispatches from Admiral Dewey
and Gen. Merritt, who has arrived
and taken command of the army
have increased the apprehension
that, shall we have to whip both the
Spaniards and the Insurgents be
fore the Manila campaign is over.
It is expected that Gen. Merritt
and Admiral Dewey will make a
combined land and water attack
on Manila in a few days, if the
Spanish do not meet their demands
for surrender, and if Spain does
not accept our terms of peace.
Then it will be seen whether they
will have to fight the insurgents.
