The V'nr Situation.
Tlie failurt) of the Uussio to effect a
landing In Culm villi arms and sup
plies foi our insurgent allies', coming
on top of u number of other repulses
of Aineiican small ships nperutlng near
the Cuban shore, will tend to exasper
ate public sentiment In this country
and provoke renewed criticism at the
apparent indecision of the war depart
ment. Our citizens, however, should try to
he patient. These minor reverses are
undoubtedly vexatious, but there will
be no halting when once the invasion
gets under way. On the contrary, the
recollection of these preliminary checks
will servo as a stimulus and put the In
vading troops on their mettle.
It Is evidently the policy of the Span
ish admiral In commnnd of the Cape
Verde licet now in harbor at Curacao
to play tag with Sampson and Schley,
drawing them after him in a fruitless
chase and thus postponing our occu
pation of Cuba until the rainy season
has made aggressive land operations
impossible. It remains to be seen
whether the authorities ut Washington
will consent to accommodate him.
In the meantime, moderate delay will
enable preparations to be brought to a
degree of perfection which will enable
the Invasion, when ultimately ordered,
to be very greatly expedited. That is
the one consolation derivable from a
situation otherwise decidedly embar
rassing to American pride.
In these days the cultivation of Ig
norance Is expensive.
Drawing N;arer Together.
The recent speech of Joseph Cham
berlain, the ISritlsh colonial secretary.
In favor of an Anglo-American alli
ance, notable because its author is
generally regarded as, next to lord
Salisbury, the most influential and
potential of living Kngllsh statesmen,
has attracted world-wide attention. It
is the speech of a man who has power
to make his words in large degree ef
fective. While neither Mr. Chamber
lain nor any other Englishman can
expect an Immediate coalition between
the I'nlted Kingdom and the I'nlted
States It is obvious that he, as the
substantial and determinative factor
In the Salisbury cabinet, can so shape
llritlsh ollklal conduct toward the
American republic as to put the latter
under a sense of obligation and In
cline it far In the direction of a de
facto alliance,
Kor such u joining of sympathies
and lelnforcement of mutual purposes
the more Intelligent portion of the
American people are already prepared.
Home. opposition Is to bo expected from
the small class of adopted Americans
whose chief capital has long been dis
trust and abuse of England. No sur
prise will be felt that Mr. Patrick
Ford and his followers In American
politics are In arms at the very men
tion of a better understanding be
tween Washington and Westmin
ster. These gentlemen are doubtless
sincere In their emphatic expressions
of belief that England i trying to sell
us u diplomatic gold brick. Suspicion
f Hiltlsh politics and politicians has
become a fundamental of their nature.
Vet their strident warnings fall on
unusually deaf ears. Whatever may be
true ns between Irishmen and English
men, the prevalent belief on this side
Is that as between Yankees and Eng
lishmen the former can be trusted to
take care of themselves, be the com
petition one of war or diplomacy. So
that tho fear that England is trying
to fool us does not take broad hold.
On tho contrary, the knowledge that
In our present trouble the English peo
ple and government, on their own
prompting, have stood by us nobly,
showing precisely the characteristics
that we Ourselves would have shown
had the conditions been reversed, has
developed a sense of gratitude not at
all likely to wane.
Tho greatest Mingle obstacle to an
Anglo-American alliance In fact
If not on parchment is not distrust of
England nor fear that the United
PtateH might be buncoed In that kind
of a combination, but the effect which
such a moral union of English-speak-Ins
forces might have in Interrupting
our traditional friendship for Russia.
This friendship on our part at least
has been genuine. It has rested upon
cordial and grateful recognition of the
fact that Russia has invariably treated
us well, So long as Russia, keeps up
her record In this respect the ministers
of the czar can count upon American
neutrality touching Anglo-Russian
rivalries which do not involve the car
ious menacing of American prospects.
In others words, we shall never bo tho
aggressor In a movement inimical to
ltussia. Hut If without fault or Invi
tation on our part a time shall ever
come when tlin cause of conHlltutlonal
liberty and International fair play shall
force us to choose between St. Peters
burg and London; between absolutism
and political principles akin to our
own; between strangers in race and
creed, and kinsmen but a few genera
tions apart, Joint heirs with us to the
glories of a common history, literature
and speech, we cannot doubt what that
choice will be. '
Possibly tho prophets of n general
scrap nre merely talking through their
apprehensions.
Our Trade In War Times.
The volume of our trade and com
merce has remained practically unaf
fected by the war. Investors and busi
ness men generally regard the present
and future with equanimity. There has
been neither inflation nor depression in
the money or Industrial markets. The
functions of our banks and financial
exchanges have not been disturbed by
our conflict with a foreign power, nor
by anticipated complications arising
8it of it. No war in modern times has
been entered upon with less commer
cial excitement. Our exports and im
ports have retained their equilibrium;
the pulse of tlie home markets has re
mained normal and steady. Tho won
derful victories nt Manila bay and at
San Juan have given buoyancy and
elation to the markets. Railroad stocks
have bon active and advancing, nid It
Is probable that the full effect of these
victories have not yet been felt. Specu
lative buying and selling on the Stock
exchange will momentarily rise or fall
In response to the operations of the
bulls and the bears, who are more will
ing to see a reaction to get hold of the
securities they have just sold at a profit
than to see a further steady advance
which would restrain them in this
speculative buying or selling. These
are the ordinary phenomena of Wall
street in its dealing with stocks and
bonds and are fairly indicative of the
confidence of brokers in the unimpaired
value of American securities.
Every day brings forth fresh proof
of the extraordinary foreign demand
for our breadstufls. The European
supply of cerealH has been shorter than
was thought nt all possible before we
entered or had any notion of entering
in a war with Spain. One man in the
United1 States foresaw this clearly.
Young Letter has pocketed enormous
profits in his great wheat deal,
but it is only fair to say that
he took erorinous ilsks and that
had not his calculations prov
ed correct, the financial credit of his
father would have been no more than
sufllclent to meet tho unparalleled
emergency in which lie would have
been pla'-ed. There is no possibility
that this demand will decrease until
the new wheat crop Is In the market.
The price of flour will probably con
tinue on the Increase for some time to
come. It Is the only article of domes
tic consumption which has taken a ser
ious rise; and ns It is the most neces
sary. Its rise is of course tlie most bur
densome to the worklngmen of the
country. The rise In the price of flour
has been practically Independent of the
war. We should have had n rise in the
price of flour possibly equal to what it
is, oven if tho war had not lieen waged.
Exports of wheat are can led every day
from our ports In neutral bottoms The
Spaniards cannot and dare not touch
them, so that if the foreign demand
were not what it Is, the price of flour
even with the war in progress would
have been far lower than it is.
The Now England cotton industry
ban been seriously embarrassed for
some time. A strike has been In pro
gress; mills have been shut down, and
general disorganization of tho trade
has ensued. Many causes concentrated
to produce thin icsult. Excessive pro
duction has played tho most serious
part, as It is always the most import
ant factor in the depression of a partic
ular industry. Foreign demand hav
ing seriously fallen off, still further
hampered the trade in cotton stuffs.
Tho late war in China and the plague
in India have alo been contributory
causes tending in n parallel direction.
The growth of the cotton manufactur
ing industry In the south places the
New England manufacturers at tho
mercy of a competitor who is unaffect
ed by protective tariffs, who may grow
ills own fibre within sight of his own
mills, who has the advantage of the
latest and most improved machinery,
whose faculties for export are at least
equal to those of Massachusetts, and
who has the immeasurably competitive
advantage of cheap labor, unrestricted
by conditions of time or conditions of
employment.
As might be naturally expected In
the Iron and steel industries tho
utmost activity prevails, while the
tone of the market Is strong. Great
activity exists in iron and steel build
ing construction works, while there is
an enormous demand for agricultural
Implements, rails, building frames and
railroad locomotives. All In till, the
war has scarcely affected business,
save to quicken it In certain direc
tions. God help tlie reconcentrndos. It Is
evident that the war board at Wash
Ington Is too slow to.
The Unhappy Reconcentrados.
We published on Satuiday morning
a letter from the Havana correspond
ent of tlie New York Sun, which gives
a graphic but despairing picture of the
state of affairs in that city. Famino
threatens the rich and has already
reached the poor. It must be con
fessed that the condition of affairs in
that doomed city is such that it Is In
capable of exciting either sympathy
or pity in the heart of an American cit
izen for the beselged inhabitants. Like
the old Hurbon kings the Spaniards
never learn and never forget. They
must have heard by this time of the
annihilation of their fleet In Manila
bay, and tho fall of Puerto Rico, and
tho utter hopelessness of the strugglo
In which their country is engaged
Yet wo are told they believe in a
descent of General Weyler with an
army of to, 000 men. How he is to get to
Mnvnna does not seem to cost them n,
thought. They continue to call upon
him and expect In some mysterious
way that lie with Ills fifty thousand
warriors will drop from the clouds.
The llfu of every private citizen of
Havana of foreign nationality Is not
worth nn hour's purchase. The llrit
lsh consul Is tolerated, but seemingly
disregarded and disrespected as an
official agent of his government. The
Insurgents are pressing In upon the
city anil tho Vento wnter works hnve
been attacked, though unsuccessfully.
Without light or food and the supply
of fresh water endangered Havana is
u pandemonium.
If this is the condition of affairs In
Havana, what must It be where the
reconcentrados nre herded together?
Their condition must be uppallng.
Without food, without sympathy, with
out hope, those of the mlserables who
have not died of starvation or been
butchered in cold blood are lingering
on In tho most hapless and helpless
state to which It Is possible to reduce
a humun being that of starvation by
Inches. Of course the insatiable Span
ish soldiery have slezed upon the sup
plies which were sent by this country
to feed tho starving reconcentrados.
The amount was not much, it is true,
as tlie time was short In which to send
It; but, little or much, the Spaniards
have made a meal of It. Tho women
and children appeal most to our
humane and human sympathy. How
fares It with them? Heaven only
knows; we may only conjecture.
If It were possible to bring anything
like systematic relief to the reconcen
trados, the continuance- of the block
ade would be regarded without much
petturbatlon. We owe tho Havana
braggarts neither good will nor sym
pathy. They are u crowd of murder
ous nifllans to whose political machin
ations and mllltnry turbulence Spain
owes the greater part of her misfor
tunes. When we get to Havana tlie
so-called volunteers will receive our
most pressing and Immediate consid
eration. Kevenge is foreign to our ob
ject In Havana or anywhere else, but
the mllltnry organization of which
these brigands formed a part must be
Instantly disbanded, and the alterna
tlve offered the members of leaving the
country or returning to civil employ
ments. In the meantime, let us hope
the elusive Cape Verde fleet will not
long scare our government into post
poning the "forward, march" which
will liberate Cuba ere famino and
Spanish brutality shall have made it
an untenanted desert.
If the starving In Cuba can keep nllvo
until the Spanish fleet Is chased Into a
corner and annihilated then wc may
do something for them. Hut until then
the peregrinations of that one measly
fleet are apparently sufllclent to hold
president, cabinet, naval strategy
board, war strategy board and all the
departmental cooks and bottle washers
transfixed in fear. Our warships out
number Spain's twovto one and out
shoot them three or four to one, yet the
whole programme of invasion and res
cue is halted because four Spanish
cruisers are fsomewhere circling around
tho rim of the Caribbean sea. Do we
need a Dewey at Washington?
A written alliance with England
would not be expedient at this time, if
it would over be, but John Hull ought at
least to l)e assured In a satisfactory
manner that his good behavior will not
bo forgotten. Uncle Sam is not an in
crate. If we had a sufficient navy it would
not be necessary to hold up the entire
war while Sampson, Schley and the
Spanish admiral play hldo and seek
among the West Indies.
What Spain needs is a guardian and
a receiver.
The Oregon may yet come In handy.
Martial Spirit of
America flrotised
1' rom the New York Sun.
THE eagerness with which young
men whose lives seemed to bo
given up to tho pursuit of pleas
ure huve enlisted In the ranks of
the volunteer more particularly
the regiment of Theodore Roosevelt, af
fords evidence that easy and luxury have
net degenerated their manhood. Moat o'f
theso young fellows go In as enlisted men
simply, without having undertaken to
mike use of any influence, possibly with
in their reach, to obtain commissions or
to soften for thenibelves tho rigors of
service as private soldiers. They ask
no discrimination In their favor, attempt
to impose no conditions, nnd they will
get none. They have put themselves vol
untary under the bevere military law
and will take their chances along with
the rest of the enlisted men,
o
Their spirit In thus responding to the
call lor volunteers is not peculiar to
them, but extends to tho great body of
American young men; yet that they
should have it draw to them sympathy
and admiration previously denied them,
en tho supposition that they were butter
flies of fashion, coxcombs, and children
of wealth and luxury, removed from I ho
Impulses swuylng tho hearts of the great
body of youth. They aro showing that
they aro not made of bugur or salt, and
that virile energy nnd generous manly
sentiment are not limited in this repub
lic by any social conditions. They will
find In association with their comrades of
tho. ranks that such differences are su
perficial rather than radical, and that the
qualities of American character most de.
serving of leaped arc Independent of
them,
o
This exhibition of martial and patri
otic spirit extends to young men gener
ally. It Is even moro striking now than
It was at tho outbreak of our civil war.
Tho president's call for volunteers was
for ll'o.ooo only, but six times that num
ber responded. A million men might have
been obtained easily. The places of
members of National Guard regiments
mailo vncant by the wise severity of the
medical examination are quickly filled,
while In all parti of tho Union there is
grievous disappointment that the remain
ing opportunities to enter the services
aro so few. If tho Hull bill fur the rear
itemization of tho army had passed in Its
original form, as tho exigency of tho wai
required so imperatively, tho whole of
tho proposed regular fcrco of 101,000 men
would have been filled lapldly and with
a quality of recruits fully au high as that
which tho call for volunteers brought out.
The best blood of this republic would
have rushed to enlist In tlie ranks of tho
regular army, already mudo up of tho
most desirable material It has contained
since its establishment.
o
The most remarkable thing about this
clomorislration hT"Tts KcncrnTunsclrlsh
ness, except so far us there Is in it a man
ifestation of u youthful craving for ad
venture. Naturnllj enough, there Is
much eagerness on tho part of Individ
uals to obtain the dlsUnellon of com
missions ns officers and ercapo from the
harsh subordination of enlistment, even
at the expense of greater liability to dan
ger; but relatively tho amount of such
self-seeking it small. Purely personal
nnd political Influence exerted In disre
gard of military requltements have been
comparatively unavulllng, and tho or
gnulzatlouof thevolunteers has proceeded
generally on Hues approved by tho mili
tary Judgment which seeks only tho i.c
compllshnient of tho highest attainable
efficiency. No purely political generals
lmvo yet nppeureel. No distinctions in
fnvor of nny class of tho volunteers have
been made. The great mass of the young
men enlisting have neither mnde nor
thought of making nny efforts to obtain
discrimination In their behnlf or nny
mitigation of tho hardships of service
because of nny urtlftclal social distinc
tion arrogated to themselves. They are
ready to take their luck along with tho
rest as comrades In arms, und ask and
expect no special consideration. They
know that only by surrendering their In
dividuality for the good of the whole can
they be useful to the republic In war, and
that only on the condition that they ren
der themselves absolutely amenable to
military discipline will they bo entitled
to tho nnmo of soldiers. They must be
at command for whatever duty is com
mitted to them by their officers. The
military law can recognlzo no distinctions
between them, nnd tho more Intelligent
they aro tho more complete Is their un
derstanding that by tho oath of their en
listment they are compelled to nn obed
ience which Is binding on nil and Is en
forced equally on ull under the most
painful penalties. Hut such knowledge
hns not restrained In nny degree U12
youthful impulso to enlistment.
Tho American military spirit Is now
moro ardent, more aggressive, and moro
general than ever boforo in tho history
of this republic, and Its manifestation In
every condition of our society, uniting
tho whole by a common enthusiasm, Is
proof of increasing vigor In the race and
affords assurance that America Is well
fitted to go forward In the larger career
to which its destiny is leading it.

From the Youth's Companion.
Somo of the anecdotes of the English
postotllco recently related by Mr. Fram
ley Steelcroft aro very amusing. Tho
British public, ono must Infer, is no less
apt to perpetrate epistles than is our
own; but tho Lcndon mail clerks seem to
be quite as clever In the interpretation of
such puzzles as aro tho Ingenious ser
vants of Undo Sain in tho dead letter of
fice nt Washington.
Hero Is onu llttlu anecdote which ought
to provo encouraging to such of our rea !
ers us aro beginning tho study of Frencn
Inasmuch as it proves that very slignt
smattering Indeed of that elegant tonguo
may occasionally bo of use. Any high
school student will perceive why the let
ter of u certain anxious sorvant, left in
charge of the house whllo her mistress
was visiting at Alx-les-Uains, 1 ranee,
was returned with the postoilico stamp
"not known" across Its face.
Tho mistress had written homo certain
Instructions, using the letter paper of
tho hotel where sbo stayed; the maid had
replied, having, as she supposed, care
fully copied tho address rrom tlio pnnt.M
letterhead. Hut unfortunately tho hotel
employed that conveniently conspicuous
corner to mention a few of Its advan
tages, with tho icsult that sho mailed an
envelupo boldly inscribed:
"Miss Hlank, Hotel llritannlque, Ouvert
touto 1'anuee, Ascenseur Hydraullque."
The number of hotels kept open all tho
year round and supplied with elevators
proved sufficiently laigo to dlacourago
tho French officials, and the letter found
its way back to London. It was returned
to tho sender, who was much perturbed,
until a friend of tho lady of tho mansion
chanced to call, to whom the showed it,
when an explanation ensued and sho ob
tained a, more definite address.
Perhaps this Incident Is fairly orfset by
another In which it was tho postotflce
official whose knowledge of foreign
tongues was deficient. A French lady Uv
lng In England had lost many newspa
pers In tho mall, anil went to tho village
postotflce to complain. Tho sub-postmaster,
after her departure, received In
structions from his chief to ask her the
next time sho came for tho titles of tho
papers which had gono astray. Ho did
so, and soon complacently reported that
bhe subscribed to three the 11 mo manque,
and Plusleurs and Journaux! ("I fall to
receive" und "many" and "nowspopers.")
I'asted in ono of the curious nddress
books kept at the Postal Museum in Lon
don is a letter which was nover delivered,
though plainly enough addressed to Job
David Llandough. The reason Is made
obvious by a straggling indorsement in
red ink from tho pen of somo village
friend of tho addressee, "Job Davis is ded
nnd berid." Near it is ono of tho most
curious of recorded addresses: "Mrs. B.

This letter was from a lady's son, who
