New light is thrown upon the story oil
American disgrace which has reached us nom
Santiago by the letter from Jamaica, when
we print elsewhere There is DO room Tor
douht that a Consul of the United States,
cultv of no other crime in Spanish eyes than
of having performed his duty TO his Govern
ment was compelled to fly from Cuba 10 save
his life. Could Mr.. Phillips have been cowai"'y
enough to have dishonOrcd his Government
gratuitously? We think not. 1he Bfltish
Consul at Santiago counseled him III
every step lie took toward escape, ana
fine Governor of that city, after conlcsslns his
inability to protect an American cltzen' ad-
yised him to quit the country at once, or lie
could not be responsible for what might hap
men. Had Mr.. Phillips remained there would
have been an end of diplomacy, and the be-
ginning of war but we fail to perceive that
the insult done to the nation in the person Oh
its representative is any less shameful because
Mr.. Phillips is a live man instead OF dead
one. Could Mr.. Fish have believed Tor
moment THAT when he printed Dir.
PLillipss letter that the life OF Its
author or putative author would be leopard
led would he have done itP If the condition
of Cuba under Spanish misrule is so terrible
that our Consuls cannot write and live, let us
have no more Consular letters, or, better still.
no moro Consuls in that quarter. Unless we
take this measure there is danger that the
Spaniards will take it for us. We trust that
Government will decide right soon how long
we are to recognize the superior claims OF
those who give US assassination III exchange

The decay of our commerce 10 the SupJco. y,

which Senator Chandler a day or two ago pro-
noupced, in neither choice nor correct Ehshsii'

dent indorses and adopts as very aple' caiih'
"and exhaustive" The President in his mes

store American commerce, and recommends
direct money subsidy, as less liable to abuse
than indirect aid; at the same time lie ex-
presses the idea that the end to be attained
will Justify other and more general measures
of assistance to American shipping.
We give as applicable to this subject the
letter of a well-knOwn Washington correspond
ent, commenting on peculiar features of the
report His argument is to the effect that the
change in the material used in ship-bulldlng
(from wood to from must of necessity transfer
the business of ship building from the Eastern
coast to interior localities where iron and coal
are more abundant This view ought to arouse
the attention of the Western members, VINO are
so Indifferent to the subject because they con-
slider shipping solely an Eastern interest.

Cen Sheridan's special pleading in justif!ca-
ton of the massacre of the Piegans is not con-
vincing. The attack on the Indian camp Is
not to be justified by the comparisons he quotes
of the bombardmcnt of Vicksburg and Atlanta.
Both cities were fortified towns, garIisoned by
great armies, and the bombardment of neither
was begun until the formal notice for the re-
moval of women and children required by the
rules of civilized war had been given. This
usage was not practicable in the case of tho
Picgan camp, it is true; but that does not
Justify the acts perpetrated after the capture.
There is nothing in what Gen. Sheridan says
which should put stop to any inquiry as to
who is responsible for the outrage on the In
dams and the violation of the national pledge
and the national policy Of peace.

The Legislature of New-MeXico has asked
authority to raise two regiments of cavalry to
operate against the Indians. With the regular
army at its present status we have more than
enough troops for aggressive warfare against
the Indians. To arm and organize the terri
tOrial settlers of New-Mcxico is simply to be-
gin an Indian war in that and adjoining Ter
rtories. Colorado was thus authorized in 1864,
and q regiment of her settlers, under Colonel
ChivingtOn, invaded the Cheyenne Reservation,
and "put to the sword" rs the leader reported,
&" 500 men. women, and children" and thus
opened the Indian war which ended only in
1863 There can be no peace between Indians
and white settlers located on the same lands
and in the same territories the stronger will
naturally be aggressive. To arm the New
Mexico settlers, except for defense, will provoke
a war as long. and bloody. and costly, as that
which has ragged from time to time in the
more pOpulous district of Colorado and Kan
sas. The request of the NewMexico Lesisla
ture ought to be denied.

Gen. Sherman is reported as opposed to the
Army Retrenchment bill, on the ground that
retrenchment should begin in the civil rather
than in the military branch of the Government
service. Precisely. Gen. Sherman is paid

Retrenchment should begin in the civil service
by all means. Gen. Sheridan is paid $l4,S03
per year. Vice-President Colfax, $4,000. Re-
trenchment should begin in the civil branch of
the Government service. Gen. Halleck-Our
own darling Haleck-is paid $9S62 per year ;
the Secretary of War, $4,000. Sure enough: re-
trenchment should begin in the civil service
