A Dual Protectorate Promises the Best Results.
" A Philippine Republic in the alsence of an American fleet would not las', a tear. A iild scramble for coaling stations upon the part of France, Germany an 1 Russia uo?t?d begin. And a sale to England might an i probably tioi,ld came the )??o!t dangerous jealousy on the part of less favored bidders. The United States must hold the Philippines themselves."- Daily Mail editorial.
On the other hand an independent
Republic in the archipelago would soon become a Malayan anarchy. The natives are not yet civilized enough for absolute self-government.
When Admiral Dewey's guns shattered Spain's sovereignty over the
Philippines, the United States became responsible for their destiny. How is this responsibility to be met ? We think, as we suggested three days ago, by the establishment of a joint protectorate. The United States and
Spain could work upon bases that could easily be brought into the domain of diplomacy. Such a regime could be established for a definite number of years. The dangers of a
" wild scramble " in Europe would be avoided. There would be no fear of a
Malayan pandemonium. The natives would be well governed. They would receive education, civilization, impartial justice and freedom. The political and pbysical conditions of the archipelago could be put upon a firm footing. When this had been
done the natives could declare their wishes as to the future. At the end of the fixed probationary period they could return under Spanish rule, if they so elected ; could remain under a continuation of the Spanish-American dual protectorate ; could become a federal colony of the United States or an independent State under satisfactory guarantees for their future.
This solution appears to best settle the difficulty. Mr. Grover Cleveland,
Mr. Chauncey Depew, Mr. Straus and others object to territorial expansion and to a departure from old traditions. But adherence to traditions is the death of nations. Like individuals States must pursue their proper course of development or wither away like plants deprived of sunlight and air. If the Pilgrim Fathers had adhered to tradition they would never have sailed on the Mayflower. The
There seems but one solution to the
United States owe their very existence to a disregard of tradition. Besides, this Dual Protectorate project is not a departure from tradition. It is a liquidation of a responsibility the
Unite 1 States assumed when they went to war with Spain. And it allots a possible term to the duration of that responsibility.
Philippine problem. The islands should remain under American guarantee at least for a time. The HERALD suggests a Dual Protectorate of the
United States and Spain over the archipelago. This seems to promise the most satisfactory results.
For the present no independent
Philippine Republic could resist the ambitions of Europe. As the "Daily
Mail" says, the sale of the islands to
England would cause an outburst of dangerous jealousies on the part of less favored bidders. It is out of the question to return them to Spain.
Such action would leave the present war without justification. One might just as well talk of returning Cuba and Porto Rico to Spain when they have fallen, as they assuredly will do.
The.1 Cologne Gaz tto" a nd the Plzi!ippi,ies.
IN another column will be found some observations by the " Cologne Gazette " upon the present condition of the war between Spain and the United States. The train of reasoning of the HERALD'S Rhenish
contemporary would be excellent but for the fact that it starts from a false premises,The proposal suggested by the HERALD for a SpanishAmerican dual control in the Philippines did not suggest (as the '• Cologne Gazette " seems to imagine) that the new regime should be established in that island while fighting wai still going on in Cuba. Such an arrangement, as the writer rightly observes, ' could not last a single day " T vvo nations could not carry on hostilities in one part of the world and work in unison in another. The HERALD'S proposal was that the dual control should be established after peace had been signed, a very different matter.
Spain's New Exp'osive,
SPANIARDS are counting much upon a newly invented explosive which has been used for the pro-
jectiles supplied to the Pelayo and Carlos V. The HERALD'S correspondent in Madrid writes that one reason for the Minister of Marine's journey to Cadiz was to witness experiments with the new invention, in which the greatest interest is being displayed. Experts do not, however, place much faith in it.
Automobiles for War.
An important circular has just been J issued by the French Minister of
War. It invites all recruits and reserve men who own automobiles to present themselves for service with their vehicles, which are to be utilized in manoeuvres. J
The introduction of automobiles into the army may therefore be regarded as an accomplished fact. That
France should here lead the way is not surprising, for in no country has mechanical transport of this kind reached such development. According to the Figaro, automobiles, like pleasure yachts, will henceforth be made available for war.
France must be congratulated on this innovation. The genius of the country which evolved La Gloire, the
', mother of modern navies," is not dimmed by time. It is about to revolutionize warfare on land as it did in the fifties afloat.
Ainm unit ion fvr Sp'lin,
A LETTER from a correspondent in Trieste, which appears in to-day's issue of the HERALD, gives further particulars of the shipment, of a
cargo of heavy cases, supposed to contain ammunition, at that port. The steamer is bound for Rouen, but, as the correspondent point3 out, the cases were arranged in such a way that they could be discharged without disturbing the rest of the cargo, and little doubt is entertained that they contain ammunition manufactured by a firm in Pilsen and are destined for the Spanishnavy..
Conn Il M" ns Again.
CORNELT, has won the hi-intercollegiate boatrace for the second time, defeating the crews of Yale and Harvard ovtr the four-mile course at New London. The vic-
tory is a well-earned one and a triumph for the American professional stroke as taught by Court eney, the Cornell stroke. Yale, who for years was practically unbeatable with the Cook modification of the English stroke, was forced to take second place, and Harvard, after two years coaching in the English 'Varsity stroke by Mr. Lehmann, of Cambridge University, was unable to get out of the last place at any time during the race.
Ladies' Dûg Show.
THE Ladies' Kennel Association opened its annual show in the Royal Botanic Gard'.ns ' at *|
Regents Park yesterday. It was a decided success, for close upon 2,000 entries appear in the catalogue Big dogs and small are capi1aly beached or boxed, for on exhibition are some of the largest and tiniest pets in the Wi rId, the Ladies Montgomerie Ker sending their miniature collie, who weighs but 101b. and who is barely llin. in height. On the other hand. .the Princess of Wales exhibits her famous Borzoi Alex, who once again has secure! winning honors.
PSEUDO COUNTESS DE KNUFF.
Readers of the HERALD will remember the case of an adventuress, calling Herself the Countess de Knuff, but whose name is Alice Benard, who stole a valuable ring last week from the shop of a jeweler in the rue de la Paix.
The "Figaro" states that the magistrate in charge of the case questioned her for a long time yesterday, and it appears that she is a member of a family of good reputation.
It is asserted that after her marriage and divorce, she fell into the hands of a young, unscrupulous fellow) who took advantage of her weak intellect and induced b2r to rob right and left by means of hypnotic suggestion. This young man and one of the so-called countess' female friends are to be included in the prosecution.
The "Figaro" further asserts that Alice Bénard is to bo examined by two doctors who have made a study of hypnotism to see whether she is really responsible for her actions.

ENGLISH PRESS OPINION.
The Reduction of the Unionist Majority in Hertfordshire Due to the Government's Weak Foreign Policy.
[BY THE HERALD'S SPECIAL WIRE.]
LONDON, Friday.—The "Times'" leader on the collapse of the Leiter wheat corner says : "it is not so important an event to the world generally as might be imagined from the noise that it made by the obstinate adherence to the operations for a rise long after economic justification for them had ceased to exist. Mr. Leiter made it possible for another band of speculators to operate for a fall, and so far thev have been successful. It remains to be seen whether, as asserted in some quarters, we are on the eve of a relapse in the price of wheat to the level ruling before the autumn of 1896."
The "Daily Graphic," in a leader on the reduction of the Unionist majority in the East Hertfordshire election, says: "It is largely, if not mostly, due to the feeling which undoubtedly prevails very widely throughout the country, that the foreign policy of tha Government Bas been found wanting in strength and decision."
The "Daily Mail" says the result can only mean that the country still views ivith disquietude the Government's conduct of foreign affairs.1
The "Morning Post" leader characterizes the result of the East Hertfordshire election as a disaster to the Government, although it is not a defeat.
The "Daily - -onicle" says: "The blow fal!s especially on Lord Salisbury and his foreign policy.'
NEW YORK PRESS OPINIONS.
Good Effects of the War—Military Promotion—Unfounded Charges Regretted.
[BY COMMERCIAL CABLE TO THE HERALD.]
NEW YOIIK, Thursday.—The HERALD says to-day : "One of the most gratifying results of the war is that it has welded the North and South in a national enthusiasm and patriotism that crown with glory the generation's strides towards harmonious union. It only remains for the North and South to unite in an old-time Fourth of July such as has been unknown since the war of 1861. The present war has given a new occasion for glorification on the anniversary of the nation's natal day. It has added new lustre to the flag, given new proofs of the patriotism of the people, brought fresh glory to the American navy, and increased the respect of the world for the United States. Let us therefore have a fitting Fourth of July celebration-:-:1 jubilee of the North and South that will revive on a grander scale the enthusiasm of former days.
The "Times" says : "The proposition to revive the grade of lieutenant-general is untimely and suspicious. We have just been making a number of brigadier and major-generals, because they distinguished themselves in the war which ended a generation ago. We should not make higher promotion except for actual service in the present war. The Secretary of War has nobody to blame but himself if the army sees in the proposition to revive the grade or lieutenant-general before anybody has had a chance to earn it, nothing more beneficial than one of 'Alger's iobs.' "
The "Tribune" says : "The official reports showing that surgical examination proves that the bodies of the marines were no mutilated at Guantanamo will be received with the greatest satisfaction in country. It is greatly to be regrette^ that a misconception as to the nature o the wounds inflicted on the marines shouKi have been embodied in an official despatc ^ Doubtless Admiral Sampson had what a-P peared to be good evidence from ei,e-wit-the nesses, or he never would have given report the endorsement of his nanie.
