A Policy o! Infamy.
Toinl's refusal tn suuendei Santiago
Is ono of the. moat desperate acts of
military barbarism in the annals of
war. It Is quite evident from the start
that he had had no such Intention. Ho
callously prostituted the flag of tiute.
His object was to gain time to
strengthen his defences, and In this lu
has partially succeeded. Let the need
less and wanton bloodshed which this
fatuous: defence of a :ostlon at the
mercy of our nitnj and fleet will entail
be on tho heads of its nuthots: it will
redound to the eternal infamy of
Spain. If there was the slightest pos
sibility of the Spaniaids making a gal
lant If unequal defence, we could
understand if not appiove tho motles
of a licleagured genet nl resolved to sell
the lives of his caulson with the last
caitrldge In Ills, possession. But theie
Is no such condition and no such ptos
pect nt Santiago. Total will sacilflco
Ills soldleis and the unfoitunato in
habitants to n baib.uous Ideal which
would hne been looked upon ns reck
less and sanguinary even In the Middle
Ages.
Genet al Shatter has done evcrj thing
possible to induce Toial to take a ra
tional view of the situation. Tho sur
lender of Santiago would havo lelleved
the city of the lavages ot famine and
obviated Its destriif Hon by lire nnd
bvvnrd. The Spanish soldleis in out
hands had nothing to fear. On the
conttnry. It is well known to Total
that they would tecolve every consld
etatinn and cotnfoit In our keeping
which humanity could suggest or honoi
anptove. It seems to be tho deter
mined and dellbeiate polity of Spain
to complete the devastation of tho
Island which she sjstematlcally began
neailv four j.eais ago, ns Jar ub It Is
possible lor her to cficct It. She is
laying up for hetself a heav ictilbu
tlon. "Suspended business", as the Ameri
can Sub-Marino Mine lemaiked to tho
Spanish Totpcdo Boat Destrojn.
Unworthy Apprehension.
It Is a notewoithy fact that under
line every objection to the expansion
ot Amotlcan tenltory and political In
fluence, if not 'specifically declared then
btoadlj implied, Is distiust ot the
American sjfctem of government. Un
til v e can more successfully govern
ourselves, is the burden of the aigu
imnt, let us not undertake tho moment
ous pioblcni of trying to provide a gov
ernment for peoplo alien In race, tui
distant In location and utteily unlike
ourselves. Colonies, the objectots con
tinue, would breed nothing but scan
dals In their administration. It would
lie American municipal tnlstulo over
Again, on the larger scale nnd with
the greatei uudaclty which would
come from remoteness of operations
and scantiness of public scrutiny and
review.
Akin to this but not so generally
urged Is tho urgument that It w enter
upon a catcer of dominion over teul
tory separated from the North Amytl
ran mainland and exposed to foreign
attack Jealous foielgn poweis. will
come along and give us a licking. Here
wo have the expression of a distrust ot
th ability of tho American people to
take care of themselves in Internation
al relations. These fears aio complo.
mentary. One doubts our lltness for
self governmont at home; the other
questions our fitness to defend respon

Imply that we are a national mistake.
That the invn who offer theso argu

-
have Ihey warrant for such n conser

As a philosophical reflection founded
cm hlflloiy It Is vorthy of reiitnr': In
passing that tho splilt of illMuVnrc, of
self-dlstiust, of self-depi ccUtlnn r.tvl
tiutlotuil timidity Is nut tho spirit which
lends nation.- on to progress, nllhough
It Is not without Its tiscH ns n coun
terbalance. Individuals may hnve their
moments of misgiving, Indeed, these
ore otten a penalty of greatness: but
the spltlt In which even Individual suc
cesses ate won is tho spirit of pluck
and date. That general who should go
Intii battle proclaiming that hU ttoops
were unfit to uttack tho cttoniy and In
capable of assuming the lesnonsibllltlcs
of mllltaiy activity would sciucc-ly he
likely to load his foicts on to lctory
and i enow n. The same Is true In
statesmanship. While great steps
should bo cntofully thought out In ad
vance, tho spirit of confidence, of hero
ic resolution to abide the consequences,
should prevail when once the decision
has Leon rent hed to go ahead.
Is It true tint wo tire unfit to add
to our national lesponslbllltlcs and In
eftlclcnt to defend out selves In a widen
ing circle of growth? Is our govern
ment tit home bo bad: are our political
stundatds so low, that a policy of ex
pansion would run counter to the lust
Intel csts of civilization? In consider
ing these questions seriously let us not
forget that In no place whetc Ameri
can enterprise has pushed fotward the
flag, the free school and tho chunh
has civilization retrograded. We found
the Louisiana tcrtltory an abode of
cronies nnd savttges nnd we made It a
gaiden spot the home of man.v of our
best citizen's. The great West and
Northwest was a wilderness Inhabited
liy Indians and cojotcs today It Is a
fertile Inland emplte, the gtanaty of
tl.o wot Id. Texns, California, Alaska,
earh in turn, rellectod In their Ini
puivenicnt tho quickening Intluence ot
American dominion. Hawaii today is
on thn thicshold of a new destiny
Cuba end l'orto Hlco are bound in the
fulness of time to obey tho law of po
litical gravitation.
As fot the Philippines, wo may, when
moio fully infottncd, decide that wo
don't want them nnd (lnd an honorable
way to tiansfcf tho responsibility
which this war has put upon us with
lefetenco to them all this can be de
hated nnd dotet mined In due season.
Rut In the meanwhile let us not insult
Amotlcan history nnd Ameilcau
achievement by tho cultivation of
doubts that nto as ttnwoithy as they
ate without justification. Leave llient
to tho Mugwumps.

Tho Havana cable Is cut nt last.
Toral Is now without communication
with Rlancn and Rlanco Is without
communication with Madtld save
thtough the Key West line, which
Is under our consulship. Tho iso
lation Is complete. This should havo
an Important and far-teaching effect
on the futuic of tho war. Rlanco Is
left to his own devices. Ho is at the
head of a discontented army and a
staivlng population, shut up In a block
aded city without tho slightest pros
pect o'f i enforcements or food by sea
or land. Henccfoith ho will lemalti
Ignorant of tho movements of out
ships und anny. Havana may bo at
tacked at any moment, bo far ns he
knows. This uncertainty will bo tho
mote galling because Rlanco will no
longer bo nble to pose befoto Madtld
as a brave man struggling with ad
vetslty. whoso coutage In tho face of
ovei whelming dlsasteis was unshaken
and Indomitable. The cable wus a
great lellef to Rlanco's feedings. Ho
made the most genet ous use of It to
expatiate on the spirit of the army and
tho Impregnable ramparts which ho
had erected and on which ho had em
ployed the labotlns resources of the
city nnd its neighborhood night and
day for months, to such little put pose
that If our mllltaiy policy dictates it,
we may starve Havana into submis
sion without filing another shot at Its
defences.
The full of Santiago will be the sig
nal for a stiateglcal movement to
waids Havann That city Is the lust
and sttongest citadel of Spanish uile
on the Island. Havana lost to Spain,
nil Is lost. The defences around Ha
vana are unquestionably formidable.
They have been stiongthencd and re
st! cngthoncd until, in tho opinion of
experts who have no unfilendlv feel
ing towards tho I'tilted States, they
have been rendered, It not unassail
able, at least In such a condition of
resistance as would render an active
campaign by us unwairantable dining
the rainy season. It would entail a
lohs of life to our armies which would
not be Justifiable on the humanitarian
grounds alone which dispose us to it.
Our llrst duty Is tovvaids our own
ttoops in tho Held. Even If we tried
to buccor the unfoitunato wretches
who are dying like mayflies In tho
streets of Havana, our relief would
come too late.
It seems, theicforo. our duty as
well as our best policy to keep
tho effective blockade up ami staivc
Rlanco nnd his soldleis Into submis
sion. This wo lan possibly do within
six weeks or two months longer.
Affairs In Havuna havo re.u lied u des
pctate stuue. Rhinoo has gobbled up
every mouthful of food ho could lay
his hands on. Wo cannot add to oi
ptolong the suffeilnga of the Havan
cse, and by encamping our troops
around the sink-hole of Havana har
bor during tho talny seaFon, we might
be Inviting unuttorublo calamity on
our own country.

Our Brothers' Keepers.
We have no need to go to Santiago
or Havana to And men dying of stai
vntlou. They are hero In tho midst of
us, unrelieved and unsuspected, rccon
centrados of a highly crystallzed civil
iirntlon. A diy or tv.o ago a man was
found Insensible In the woods tiear this
city who, It appeals, had not tasted
food for thtce dajs. A story of a
slinllir chat actor comc3 from Wilkes
Rat re, where a young man collapsed
on tho stteets whose enforced absti
nence fiom food ctcnded over four
days.
We need not start off with tho as
sumption that these two men, and
hundreds like them, were "tramps,"'
"woithlctiH fellows," "served them
right," "would not woik" and such
comfortnldo and tcassumlng reflec
tions made upon the easy assumption
that our brother has recklessly es
caped fiom our keeping. The fact Is
If these men were tramps they would
have had full and plenty They wcio
not such evidently. They nro types ot
a largo class of men who, having fnllen
out of employment from one causo or
another, go aimlessly on fiom one stage
of destitution to the next. Ashamed to
hejj and unable to find work, they be
come lethargic, spiritless, unambitious
and ultimately fall by the wasldo.
Is there no employment then In this
great country for such? Yes, undoubt
edly, thcio la employment for every
man who Is ablo nnd willing to woik.
Rut too often It Is employment of a
kind which makes tho but den ot life
ru lighter to those who are not Inured
lo it or capable of undertaking It, let
th"m try novcr so willingly. Of what
use Is a painter at the plough handle.or
a plumber In a qua try, or a dry goods
clork In tho timber settlements, or a
bookkeeper In tho mines, or a printer
In the oil tei-lons? Yet they aro tho
class of men who most frequently ap
peal to our sjmpathles, nnd whnso ap
palling helplessness In the maelstrom
of tho relentless competition of tho
labor market Is ns complete as that of
babes In tho wood.
While wo are cailng for soldiers
abroad and their families at homo let
us not lehrc our efforts to alleviate
the condition of civilian unfottunates.
T:uo clntlly is all-embiacing.

that tho ordlnanc against street gath

w-at theso otganlzatlons, whoso an

Cerv era's own btory shows that It
was Schley who corked him In. When
Schley called at Clenfuegos nnd found
that Ceivcra was not there, ho kept
two decoy ships In the hatbor while
with tho lomalnder of his squadron he
pulled at full speed for Santiago. It
wus not until Schley had leached theie
that Ceivcra learned he had left Clen
tucgos. A meditated escape was thus
prevented and the world knows the
lest. Department Influence at Wash

Schley's head and tiy to keep him in

sure to tell.
Yollov fever among tho troops at
Santiago Is deplorable but It need not
excite undue alaim. With good caio
and precautions, such as American sur
geons and muses arc abundantly quali
fied to piovlde, there is no uason why
till. disease should bo more serious In
Its oltet ts than many diseases which
In this country excite little alarm. Tho
woist danger In jellow fever Is the
state.
It would certainly be a humorous
spectacle it our transports at Santiago
should bo used to cairy tho Spanlbh
anny back to Spain. It would make
Spain more than ever the laughing
stack of the nations. Rut fiom a hu
manitailan standpoint it would be d".
rluedly better than having to bhoot
these poor Spanish peasants down In

1 n KNRY Norman, tho distinguished
U correspondent of tho London
n Chtonlcle, contributes to Me
J I Clure'n magazine for July mi In
tciefthtg nrtlrle entitled "America
Revisited In War Times." He says that
during the seventeen years which have
elapsed elmo ho grudunted from liar
void university und icturned to his
native Island American nffalrs have In
tel ested him In a degree, second only to
those of his own country. "From time
to tlmo I havo come back," ho sa,s.
"and corrected my Impressions. On each
occasion, however, a curious thing has
happened. I have gone homo profoundly
Impressed with tho energy, tho Intelli
gence, tho courage, the resources, nnd
the prospects of tho American people;
and bit by bit this Impression has oozed
nvvay, llko water from a leaky tub, until
I found myself doubting whether tho
United States Is on tho up gr-jdo nt all."
This bus been duo lo the fact this his
Impressions of Amrtlca on his return
homo have been perverted or corrupted
by such Information as the Rrltlsh novvs
papcrs see fit to publish with regard
to affairs In this country. Tho Rngllsh
man In 1'nglntid reads very llttlo that Is
reliable of American politics or Ameri
can methods, and It Is only when these
Impressions are corrected by an actual
visit to the United States that men like
Henry Norman aro set right.
o
He confesses frankly that everything
surprise!-, him, and most of all the re-
mnrKable dcvclopement among us or
what may bo called applied Intelligence
"Not only " he remarks, "Is there an ex
traordinary fertility ot Invention, but
also what Is perhaps more stilklnc still,
there Is appaicntly nn Instant readiness
on pvciyhody'M part to mako use of the
things Invented " Ho refers to tho con
stant Improvement In tho telephone,
v. blch he has noticed from visit to visit.
"The Instrument." he adds, "has grown
smallet. neater, morn graceful, simple,
atid easier to use As It stands on an
American desk today It might bo a

o
Mr Noitnan points out a number of
Instances In which we have distanced
Kngland nnd In fact all other countries
on tho globe nnd this one of tho many
tray, pet Imp- be worthy of pirtleular
nttentlon. "The street cars aro another
example When 1 was hero a short time
ago, tho system of traction was by un
derground cable This Is already appar
ently becoming extinct The cars them
selvis, too, aro marvels of comfort and
light. In London theie Is not, so far as 1
know, a single stieet car propelled by any
mechanical means, nnd those In use are
tho dim and dirty vehicles of a quaitcr of
a ccnturv ago. It Is Impossible to Im
agine a better system of street transport
than prevails, for Instance, In Washing
ton, liven the traveling postofflco tuns
by electricity along tho tracks."
o
The system of street rallwas which Is
operated In Washington Is but n minia
ture of tho systems operated In Chicago,
Philadelphia, St. Louis, nnd other great
American cities Thete Is nothing quite
so marvelous to the Ruropean visitor of
Intelligence ns the progress that has been
nmdo In metropolitan traction within tho
past decade and next to the fact Itself,
that Is, the advantage taken of all man
ner of Inventions and devices, the next
most marvelous thing Is that Ameilran
street-railway corporations nro not con
tent lo let "well enough nlonc " Tho
street railways of the Rrltlsh metropolis
and of other Ruropean capitals today
are practically what the street railways
of Chicago were twenty years ago. It
Is hardlv eonceivnblo that a Chicago
street railway could have ever been quite
so bad as some of tho lines now operated
in London, Manchester, Riadford, Liver
pool. Leeds, Kdlnburgh, Glasgow, Relfast,
or Dublin, but Is appears from the evl
denco of travelers and old settlcts that
this Is the case It Is diftlcult to remem
ber what we had to contend with In
Chicago even five years ago.
AMERICA'S NEW UlRTH.
From the Globe-Democrat.
Tho persons who are casting a horo
scope of magnificent possibllltes for tho
United States as a result of tho war with
Spain havo history and icason on their
side Rveiy gieat war has Influences lo
the successful ration v.hlch ptoject them
selves far Into tho future. This truth has
been particularly obvious in the hlsto.-y
of the United States. By tho war ot 1773
81 this country gained political Independ
ence, but social and industrial indcpenJ
ence did not ccme until after tho war of
1S12-1S, which ended the period of Amer
ican vassalage to Rurope, cut tho coun
try olf ftcm all cu'iuectlon with tho Old
World's Interests and unbltlons, nnd en
abled us to develop our icsoutces and
cicato a dlstlretlvely American typo of
civilization. Tho wnr of lstc-tt. with
Mexico, which Immensely broadened tha
national area, also constialned tho coun
try to take largo views of Its mission
and possibilities. Two elements of weak
nessthe Institution of slavciy and tho
theory held In certain states that the gov
ernment was nerely a league, and not a
nation tcinalncd to humiliate the coun
tty, and to lutrper It In Its endeavor to
utilize to the utmost Its physical and
moral advantages, nnd theso were te
moved by tho war of 1561-5.
o
That the war with Spain Is to alter the
character ot the lOMitrj's ambitions and
activities Is Inevitable. The predictions
that It will result In an Immediate fit
laigcmeut of tho standing army und the
navy, me, of course, cutliely safe. If
theso had been enlaigcd long ago the
present war would probably have been
avoitcd, for tho odds would then havo
been so obvious that no Spanish dynasty
or ministry would have dared to tempt
fato as has been dono In the present con
flict. Rut if, nevertheless, with tlies-Hlds
so strongly against her, Spain had pro
yoked war, her overthrow would have 'c
curied In far less time than It will now,
nnd with far less loss of II fo and money
on the American side. An Immediate, te.
suit of tho war will be the destruction
of the century-old superstition that an
adequato army and navy aro a menaca

that tho highest pay In the nival service
Is less than the regular pay tn otllcers
of ioi responding rank In tho mllltaiy ser
vice. Tho At my and Navy Journal,
without reflecting en the army, points out
that almost everj thing that has been ac
tually accomplished thus far In tho war
has been dono by tho navy. It thinks
such good servlco thould bo recognized
bv congress by having the pay of naval
otllcers made eauil to that of the army
ofllcer. This Is a demand that will sttlke
the public as Just.

When the time comes for the United

at first, who havo deprecated It from Its
beginning, and have sought petslstcntly
to balk tho United States of all tertlto

men. should bo rlsotously occluded from
tho ofllelal councils as whollv Incapable

then It will be an unpaidonable nnd dis
astrous failure criminal In Its expcndlt

permitted to bring back to tho enemy
repose and quia, but no ter.ltorv that

Admiral Ceivrra probably did tho best
