Oonel mmninK1 Have you bought a government bond? An Imperative Duty. In the report that the administra tion is about to redeem the principal promise upon which it went to war by pendlnK under military escort to Gomez and his lieutenants tellef supplies for the starving reconcenttaelos in Cuba Me see nothing improbable. True, it would present to the world nn anoma lous spectacle in warfare. Theie Is no record in international strife of a belllReient power carrjlnp death in one hand and succor In the other. Hut In ju-t this one respect ouprht the pres ent to be nn unique conflict. Stultifi cation of the American position and humiliation of the Ameiican conscience must ensue if effoit bo not made to do this very thins without avoidable de lay. Of the objections which ate talscd none date be considered effective untjl experience has pioed that it Is sound. Wp owe It to the starving Cubans, we owe It far nunc to our own rood name and to the humanity that is in us to do all within our power to otitis relief to those whom the exigencies of wnr aie dooming to extinction by the hor llble piocesses of starvation. Our war with Spain can never be justified in hlstoiy if throuRh our inactivity after war has been declaied we shall per mit the chief subject matter of tho conflict to waste away. The rainy seat-on, the scarcity of transports and the hlowness with which troops can be equipped, drilled and acclimated may compel postponement of the general military invasion until fall; if so, on tho military hide little harm Is done. Sum. mcr or winter, Spain's doom is scaled. Hut no excuse can excuse the with holding from those who linger in tho last stages of starvation of the scant aid lequiied to Keep their bodies and souls together until Cuba shall see tho dawn of a utlnhter day. Trial may show that we cannot now save all of these; events beyond our control may cause sacrifices which we can lament but not avert. Yet our garments will be Kuilt-stnlncd and our piofovsions of philanthropy scoffed by tecoidecl facts unless wo do inomptly all that lies within our ability to do toward the demonstration before tho world and the eye of history that, whatever else may come in Its vnk ours is prlmailly a warfare for humanity. Until Admiral Sampson withdraws his official assertion that the American dead at Ouantonamo were "barbarous ly mutilated." Spanish and Stevo Ciane dentals won't count. Figures compiled by the adjutant nrfneial's office telatlve to tho repre sentation of; tho various counties In Pennsylvania In tl'e volunteer service place Lackawanna In a. creditable posl tltn. It has 4 C per cent, of its popula tion unflcr nrms, a percentage exceeded by nine counties only. Venango comes first, with 7.G per cent; Montcur, sec ond, with 0.3 per cent.; Union, third, with 6.4 per cent , and the six other counties in order as follows: Mercer, 5.$. Mllllin, S.4; Indiana, D.l; Schuylkill, and Elk. 4 9, and Lycoming. 4,6. Lit same's per centage Is 4.3; Susquehan na's, 2.7, and Wayne's. 3.5. But there , , .. . Isn't a county In the list that doesn't stand ready to give her last man and last dollar If necessary. It la through out a roll of honor. The Cubans have fotifiht bravely In conjunction with our troops. Tho Cubans always fought bravely. In evil repot t nnd Rood, without arms, with out food, without resources, they were never known to yield un Inch. Such are tho Cubuns. Ilobson's Problematical Fnte. It is impossible longer to disguise tho fact that the fate of Lieutenant llobson nnd his brave companions la not, as cululn or even determinable ns could be wished. Neither Admiral Sampson nor Commodore Schley be lieves that Lieutenant llobson nnd his party have been killed, and there Is some consolation in the concurrence of opinion of tho two commanders who ought to know something definite upon tho mutter If anybody on our side does. We have seventeen prisoners taken nt Cluanttinnnio, Including ti lieutenant, besides u number In the t'nlted States open for exchange or tepilsul which Is some guaranty for Ilobson's safety. Iteprisal Is hardly the wold. It la extremely doubtful, oven If Lieutenant Hobson nnd his men were massacied, that we should resort to tho barbaric measure of retaliation by shooting prisoners of war even under the utmost provocation. At the same time It should be borne In mind that If our men tnken prisoners of war ate killed by the enemy, retaliation Is not only justifiable, but It is, in fact, no more than a preventive measure, one which has locelved International sanc tion. Tho Infliction of vicarious pun ishment is indeed tho only absolute condition upon which war can be waged. We only hope thnt the con sldeiatlon of such a ghoulish subject will not become necessary at Washing ton. Tho question is, Ts llobson at I'ort Mono or If lie and his companions have been removed, were they placed In some position in the direct line of Hie from oil'- guns, or were they placed beyond probable range? We have already heard enough ot Spanish honor nnd Spanish chlvahy and Spanish irresponsibility In the case of the Maine. Every argument that the wit of man could conceive was ad duced to exculpate the Spanlatds, ex cept the all Important one of bringing the miscreants Implicated in the de struction of the ship to justice, or what was more Important, to the light of a public trial or examination. If Hobson nnd his men were removed from Kort Moiro nnd met their death f i om our guns or otheiwlse not all the water in the Atlantic will clear Cervera and Illnnco from being parties to the eiime of this deliberate mur der, and not all the powers of Europe will prevent, diplomatically or actively, our invasion of Spain nnd the inflic tion of oui hot nnd heavy levenge on the responsible authors of such treach err. The flying of the Spanish flag half mast high at Foit Mono is ominous, it is true it is tho only fort thnt is left intact at Santiago upon which a Hag might be hoisted. It Is assumed, with what foundation It Is Impossible to say, that some Spanish officer high in command may have lost his life during the bombardment. This may be so. But Is it likely? It is hardly probable. The flying of a flag half mast high in the very field of action would bo the height of sentimentality, If not of ludicrousness. We have never heard of such a proceeding. It Is also possible, of course, that tho civil governor ot Santiago or some other civil dlgnitaiy high In ofllce may have died or fallen under tho fire from our guns which may have led to the lowering of the flag. But this Is alto gether conjectural. There Is nothing definite to go by. If any ill has befallen llobson and his men, tho accidental theory of their dlspntch would be unquestionably uiged. If they were court marttaled and ordered to be shot It is not likely that the Spanish Hag would be hung half mast in their lemcmbianee. We are inclined to believe that Hobson and his crew ate alive and well, or at least as well as may be expected under tho circumstances. In our anxiety to learn their fate, we are led perhaps to attribute too much Im portance to tho flag flying halt mast from Fort Moiro. Within the next few bonis we may hear something definite about Hobson and we anticipate noth ing to his detriment. But if wo have lost Hobson, we should not alone have lost the most conspicuous hero of the war. but also the last vestige of pity for Spain, which thenceforth would learn the emphasis of aroused Yankee ven geance. The 'Columbia has sailed again. Tho good shin is spoiling for a fight, nnd if she shall not bo allowed to have it out with her enemy, sho is bound to tun up ugainst a friend. By all means let her go In search of the Cadiz squad ron. She can be ttusted to run Into It if it is ailoal. The Small.ninded View. Speaker Heed Is said to feel keenly tho slight put upon him by the Cum bet land county Bepubllcan convention in Maine last week, and well he may. This convention, representing his home county, which for sixteen yeais he has represented In congress with excep tional ability nnd fidelity, passed him by without a word of recognition be cause it did not apptovo his view of tho Hawaiian question. Tho chances are that those who have done this foolish thing will live to re gtet It. It reflects no credit upon their sense ot gratitude or breadth of men tal horlon. Thomas B. Heed may not bo in accord with the sentiment ot his constituents on the Huwaliah matter, and ho may be too bravo a man to flop with the tide, but for all that ho s tho biggest citizen that Maine has pro duced, and It will be a Foiry day for Maine and tho country If the totting up ot the law of retaliation for differ ences In opinion shall make It difficult hereafter to keep such men as Mr. need In public life. ' ' Now that the Blgna point to a prob able recasting or the Issues ,nd divis ions of 'American politics, can we not have a truce to the mean solrlt which calls for the Immediate political cruci fixion of every citizen who reserves upon rare occasions tho privilege of thlnh'ng for himself? M.Itlbot has Informed President Faure that ho Id unable to form a cabinet to succeed tho Mcllnc ministry nnd M. Hudlnl, tho Italian premier, has re signed. We need scarcely refer to Spain. Tho Latin Union is an object of profound interest to the political stu dent Just now. It Is nothing more, per haps, than a mete coincidence, but It Is significant, -that France and Italy ore actually without executive government and that, Spain Is practically In the throes of a dynastic revolution. Apulnnldo'.s Plan. While several hundred American editors In their stuffy sanctums have been perspiring profusely during the past month In a frantic endeavor to work out a satisfactory theoretical destiny for the Philippine Islands, the energetic Tagale gentleman whom the Spanish value dead or alive nt $23,000 seems to have attended to this little detail quite happily without outside as sistance. General Agulnaldo, we gather from certnin remarks of his, wants the In habitants of tho Philippine islands to have a voice in the management of their own affairs. Ho suggests that before they are put up at auction bo fore the highest bidder or handed back on a silver platter to Spain they be given tho npportunity to say a few words concerning their Individual Ideas on this subject. Ho Is willing to consent to nn American protecto rate; In fact, he wants one. He Is ready to join with the American sol diers and sailors In a campaign not only to oust the Spaniard but also to put in lieu of him a government of order, justice and civilization under the American tcpubllc's wing, but he evidently doesn't think It Is quite the suitable thing for tho power which went into this wnr in order that another Island should be free to pack up the destiny of the Philippines like a bundle of merchandise and appropil ate or sell It without so much as a "by your leave." The implied rebuke Is as deserved as It Is timely. The American people need only to be recalled to themselves to realize fully and cleat ly the essen tial unworthlness and humiliation of the proposition that at this late day they should abandon their high tradi tions of human liberty to trafllc in the rights of a foreign race. If to give good government to the Philippines we shall have to exert a paternal con trol over them wo will do It, as an act of duty from which thete Is no honor able escape; buL when the public con science sees things right side tip there will be a speedy end to this disgrace ful gabble about mere thieving gobble and sale. An evening contemporary deplores tho contraction of subsidiary coinage in domestic currency. It advocates, of couise, the usual Populist panacea, more coinage. As a matter of fact theie is a ledundancy of subsidiary coin at tho mint, the treasury and tho sub-treasuries of tho United States. As is well known, It Is difficult to keep subsidiary coinage automatically In circulation. It Is liable to great fluc tuation locally from temporary causes. A circus coming to town, for instance, will deplete the household exchequer of its subsidiary coinage. The circus proprietor takes his teceipts to his banker in a town perhaps a thousand miles away and there it is credited to his nccount; the banker in turn hands it on to the treasury, where it lies until called for. As subsidiary colnago Is out of all proportion In bulk to Its value, nobody likes to keep more of it than can barely accommodate his personal or business requirements. Any superfluity of It in the coffeis of a merchant or shopkeeper is immedi ately handed over to the bank, and 1r exchanged for bills or checks. Local banks will supply any amount of it that is required by manufacturer or merchant. There Is no earthly reason why all the subsidiary coinage the peo ple want should not be coined. But the amount must be carefully adjusted to the demand or It will He where It was milled. Small boys should not fall Into the error of supposing that it's because Commodore Schley uses a "damn" now and then that he's a successful fighter. His guns would shoot Just as far and as well without those oaths. Some of Ilobson's companions used to turn uo their noses at him because he "was one of the praying kind." The praying kind, when led by conscience, make Invariably the best fighting kind. Quiet reigned at Washington on Sun day. Bvcn the president was spared a political sermon. Camara's fleet seems to have been sufTlciently advertised to warrant the hiring of a hall. Well, If tho Spaniards won't exchange Hobson and companions maybe they'll let us take 'em. For each hair banned on Ilobson's head wo can see a Spaniard's finish. Cervera's chivalry Is evidently only skin deep. TOLD BV THE STARS. Dally Horosoopo Drawn br Ajacohu), Tho Tribune Aitrologsr.

TUB QKNTLBMIJN who opposed tho war with Spain arc now opposed to our reaping the advantages of war. Tho.o who were Indifferent to tho destruction of tho Maine, nnd antagonized tho policy ot tho presi dent In preparing for war, now antagon ize tho policy of the president In occupy ing conquered territory. The men who Insisted that any interference hi Cuba vvni contrary to the traditions of tho republic arcnow contending that the annexation policy ot tho president is foreign to the spirit of our institutions nnd ngalnst all precedent. Those who set up the cry of peuco at nnv prlco before the decimation of wnr are now protesting against tho annexation of Cuba, the Philippines ami Porto lllco. These gentlemen, who have endeavored from the flist to embarrass the president, may embarrass him now. They may encourage foreign govern ments to net on the nssumpiloti that the United States government will not claim its full rights nt the clo-n of tho war. They may succeed In precipitating com plications based on tho theory Hint tho people of the United States will pot sus tain the president In his war pnlidv. But at worst this embatrarsment will bo only temporary. The president, with the peo ple behind him, will pursue his policy to tho end, opening tip to this country a prospect of wealth and power such as few nations have equaled and none FUr passed. ' Theie always has been a party In the United States opposed to annexation, hut It never has been strong enough to dic tate our national policy. Whatever may have been tho convictions of thoe who framed the constitution, It Is undeniable that tho policy of tho government has been lu favor of annexation. Hnd it not been so, the United States would no? cover but 827.S14 sentare miles. Before the republic was twmtv enrs old tho policy of annexation had taken definite form nnd nn area of 1,171. P11 seiuare miles had been added to the oilglnal terrltoiy. In 1S19 some O.20S square miles weio ridded. In 1S13 there was another addi tion of 37u',131 square miles. In ISIS, ns tho result of war, there was a further In crease of 5Ij,7M squ.iro mile--. In 1W, as an outcome of war. we spiead out 4".5.5j square miles. In 1 577, Thi square mile.: were added. In sixty-four ears the pol icy of annexation lnci eased the teirltory of tho United States by 2,711 l',f, square miles. Tho territory gained bv annexa tion was mile than three times as large nn the territory organized tinder the con stitutlon. In the face of such facts, who will declare that annexation is against the traditions of the republic? - o The opponents of annexation protest, however, that all this was contiguous territory. They have sucreeeled in mak ing many people believe that the states manship of the country lias been from tho first against the annexation of re moto lands. That this Is a. mistake the nrnexatlon of Alaska shows. Moreover, Daniel Webster, in lsu, enunciated the principle of protecting Amerb an inter ests by control of the Hawaiian and otm'r Islands, and In 1S.31 James Buchanan see. rctary of slate, defined the same Hue of action. John M Clayton restated the po sltlon of the government In a letter to the United States minister at Paris on Julv 3, 1S30. In 1V31 Secretary of State Wcbs"r bluntly said that If the Flench took pos session of Hawaii thev would be ells lodged if tho wholo power of the I nlted States government was lequlred to do it Secretary of State W. L. Marty declared. In 1S31, that the Hawaiian and othT Islands must inevitably tome under the control of the United States goveinnifir William II. Seward negotiated it tieatj for the annexation of Alaska, which was approved, and negotiated another treaty for the annexation of Ihe Island ot St. Thomas in the West Indies, which was not approved. He also advocated the an nexation of the Hawaiian islands. Gen eral Grant was strongly In favor of the policy of annexation, nnd negotiated a treaty looking to the annexation of Santo Domingo. His arguments apply eiirecllv to tho cms" of Poito Rico and other of tho West India Islands, and no clearer enunciation of a distinctively American policy lias ever been made. Seeietaiv Blaine and Secretary "Bayard emphasized tho importanco of our interests in tho P ciflc.

New York Sun. Certain writers wholly incompetent to render Judgment on the condition of troops or to express any opinion on the details of mllllaiy administration deserv ing of respect, have attracted attention to themselves by criticising savagely our military camps at the south. They have repicEer.ted them as shamefully tic. llclent In Bundles et-cntlJl to the health of the soldiers, unci their neliuinlstrrttion as disgraceful to tho ml'ltary authorities. Complaints of unappetizing or iusulll clent faie and undue severity of discip line have ccmo from a few of tho sol diers themselves, but they are only nit ural and inevitable expressions of dis tasto and discontent from men not yet Inured to the hardships of military ser vice In the field. Kven where there has been nny justification for them, it has been duo to tho unavoidable delas nnd complications incident to tho rapid mo bilization of untrained troops, and it has been remedied as speedily us possible, o The first test of tho value of all such reports and criticisms is furnished, of course, by the sanitary condition of these troops, as indicated accurately lu tho pre vailing ratio of sickness among them. Oeneral Miles, who has Just returned to Washington from a careful Inspection of these camps, reports that the health of the troops Is exceptionally good, At Tampa, where the conditions have been assailed especially and most unfavorably by the -y clitics, ho found that tho sick list was lesj than 1 per cent., a surpris ingly low record; and this most group ing indication as to health appeared among both tho trocps who embarked for Santiago with General Shatter and those still remaining on shore In the camp. This expcrlenco Is far rnoro encouraging than that through winch both sides to tho civil war were compelled to pass at Its beginning; and no incident of the present conflict, apart from its uninterrupted sue. cession of victorious progress, bus afford ed reason for so much national rejoicing as this remarkable, even astonishing, ex emption of our lorces from tho sufferl.ig usually altilctlng mlllrary camps siuldenly filled with collections of untrained and unhardened volunteeis and mllltla not et Inured to campaigning. Of course, such an exceptionally high standard of health could not prevail In them If thcro was any Justification for the animadver sions on our military administration which have been tnaile so loudly by Igno runt, Inconsiderate, sensational and bcdi tious newspaper writers. fl it Is also exceedingly gratifying to know that tho standard of health pre vailing among tho news of tho navj Is equally high, though tho most of them aro compelled to endure tropical heat un der peculiarly trying circumstances.
