Circulation Statement.
WASHINGTON. SATURDAY. MAY 2.
The Mailed Hand of Japnn.

Another vessel or two might well be
spared from Gen. Weyier's Spanish patrol
for sources OF observation in Hawaiian
waters Whether backed by other powers
or not, il seems evident enough from the
latest Honolulu advices that Japan en-
tert1nS, or assumes to, very serious de-
signs against the little republic Both the
Japanese minister resident and tie Mika,Io's
special envoy are reported as declaring
that, if the Hawaiian government does not
accede 10 the japanese demands, thelaJter
will not allow the question between them
t. become one of arbitration, but Will take
Independent action.
This may mean that Japan is crazy
enough to think herself adequate To the
Job OF seizing the country in defiance of
the United States which we do not believe
Something else is more likely. The "en-
teDte' between Japan and England is
dHite close, largely on account of the for
mer's fear regarding Russia, and it would
not be surprising if the London money
power, through the government of Lord
Salisbury, was using Japan and the Ha-
wafjan situation TO create a diversion
In theintereStS ofthe BritiSh-Spanish bond
holders in Cuba. 1t might be argued that
a threat Of war in the Pacific would de-
tract American attention from the An
titles, M prevent the Government Of the
United States from recognizing Cuban
beligerency, or possibly independence
The British game is always a deep one, and
It never means anything good for the people
of the United States.

Peace without Honor.

According TO London dispatches. the am
bassadnrs of the powers today Will notify
the Porte that the Turkish demand for the
retroCCsSiun Of ThesSaly cannot be enter
tained, but that a strategic recufication
OF the frontier wiH be granted Beyond
this war indemnity not to exceed S23,-
600 600 viii be allowed. What answer the
Sultan nay make to this cannot even be
conJectwed. because nobody appears yet
60 know what Russia and Germany intend
II may be that they are agreed upon the
Proposition Of the ambassadors as a IL
nality. in which case Turkey VIII have To
submit: but il is equally probable that
they may be willing 10 stand back and
allow Abdul Hamid a free hand. in order
that he may reach direct issue with Eng
land which country the continental pow
ers seem beat upon houuaing into a corner
on the Eastern question.
Under a general understanding that the
European situation is relieved from the
been asS.duUusly given out from ministe-
rial circles in London, it is very strange
that the Sultan should continue the mobil-
izatipn OF his Asiatic Reserves, and should
make new contracts with tie Krupps for
q large equipment Of artillery. These move
msntS portcad further trouble Of some sort,
and IL does not stand to reason that they
would be persisted in unless their object
was known and approved by Russia end
Germany.
Having humble d Greece sufficiently Y to ap-
peaSe the resentment OF the two youthful
oesPots," perhaps it is their program to
Call off the Turks from that quarter and
allow them TO eXpend their warlike ardor
and religious fanatcisln on someone else
possibly upon Great Britain In Egypt; who
knows?
Tia, something ugly is in the wind need
not be doubted Otherwise brave England,
''invincibie in peace" would be heard
growing vociferously.

GEN. DOES HORSE PURCHASE.
1t Was Not for His Private Use, as
Reported.

Reported.
Tne War Department today issued the
folio wing: Ctj
The statement made in the newspapers
some days ago to the effect that Gen. Doe,
ex-Assistant Secretary of War, had pur-
chased a horse for his private use which
was paid for from public funds, and that
the vouchers covering the amount had been
disallo wed By the Auditor of the Treasury
for the War Department, appears, on in
vestigation, to have been founded upon
q misunderstanding Of the matter, and In
wolves an injustice to Gen. Doe.
The facts are that three horses were
purchased for the use of the War Depart
ment by Capt. j Is. Aleshre assistant
quartermaster, at Chicago, and We're ship
ped to this city, were regularly taken up
on the returns of the depot quarternaster,
and are now, and have been since their
purchase, in the service Of the War De-
partment.
The suspension of the vouchers by the
Auditor was not because OF any impro-
priety in the purchase of the horses, but
because payment had been made from The
appropriation for transportation or the
Army instead of from the appropriation
for contingent expenses of the War De-
partment, which latter the Auditor re-
garded as the proper appropriation. The
transaction involved no irregulaHty what
ever, and a simple explanation OF the
facts to the Auditor is all that is necessary
to effect removal of the suspension OF
the vouchers in the case.

Keep the Men.

We are glad to know that CommiSs oner
Wight is in favor Of employing manual
labor in the street sweeping service, and
not disposed, even though promised a slight
saving in the expense, to substitute ma
chineIy entirely therefor. 1t is also crafty
ing to know, on Mr.. Wight's authority, that
Commissioner Ross agrees with him.
There is large number Of men III Wash
ington who can sustain themselves and
their families if this opportunity for work
is left open to them Failing to obtain
it they would most likely become public
charges and swell the burdensome number
Of unemployed which last winter taxed
every form of charity and every resource
Of the charitable To save few cents or
a few dollars day in the cost of gathering
up the street sweepings would be a poor
equivalent for depriving flom two to five
hundred men of their daily support-and
we urgently advise that it be n ot permitted.
In the news columns OF The Evening
Times Of Friday the figures were carefully
presented, amounting in themselves to a
strong argument for manual service, but
we cannot resist bringing the lesson they
taught more forcibly to the public atten-
tion and to the notice Of the Commission
ers. We are confident that they will let
the pickup machines go, and the men
stay on, and that in doing so they will ac
complish the largest measure of economy.

The Fruits of Indian Education.

Western newspaper, speaking OF holy
Track, the Indian boy terror, expresses an
opinion which, like some other illogical
things, is more common than it should be
orT esteemed contemporary says: 'He SAYS
that he has long cherished an ambition to
KIN white people, and now that such am
bitiou has been gratified, the white people
can do what they please with him Is this
the fruit Of attempting to civilize Indians:'
One OF the pet arguments of people who
arc too lazy and too egotistlc to think, is
something like this They hear some
thing said about the Importance OF trying
Go benefit ones fcIlow-mcn, and they point
G. some crime committed by a member
OF the class which is to be benefited, and
say; "We!I. you see it is no use. They
lave had allthe advanta res We have given
them, aud they keep right on doing wrong"
The fallacy Of this particular gentle
mans statement is apparent on the face
OF it. There is no evidence, In the first
place. that this Indian was the product
of Government schools. Secondly, his
fAnlinas are Just the natural feelings Of

SuDDreSsinp Action.

The Administration suppressed official
Cuba as long as it could. and then tried to
prevent action in the Senate as hard as
it could. Now it has effected a special
alliance with the AutOcrat of the sup
pressed House Of Representatives TO pre-
vent action in that quarter. In adopting
this course the President may think that
he is representing the American Eagle,
but to an exasperated people his attitude
viii appear rather that Of the ostrich. A
simeon is gathering on his horizon, but he
cannot lift his eyes from the ground to
see it. His head is being held down by
something heavy thatis slung 20 his neck.
1t is the political corpse of fir. Hanna.
In arranging for the suppression of the
Morgan resol ution in the House, il is evi-
dent that Mr Mckinley thinks he has laid
the Cuban question at rest. He should re-
member that as late as Thursday morning
he was assured by his Spanish entourage
trol. and would put to sleep in the Com
uittee on Foreign Relations without diff
ficulty. The value of their information
and advice was eXemplified on the same
day by the adoption of the ,belligerency
resol ution by vote Of foTty-one to four
teen. Ultimately he may be equally sur
prised on discovering that his hitherto
subservient Republican majority in the
lower house viii no more fly in the face
OF national sentiment and determination
than did the Senate.
Personal friends OF the President con-
tinue to urge that he is as strong Cuban
sympathizer as anybody and, in his own
good time, will come out for something
better than helligerency;L e independence.
But IL s no longer concealed that his idea
of Cuban independence is freedom tied to
the milestone of the Spanish bonds and the
demands of the Anglo-A merican Sugar
Trust These interests will not allow him
to accord "beiligerency" because that
would make the Cuban republic a neces-
sary party to the settlement which now
must come before long. The Cubans must
he left unacknowledged, that they may be
ignored in any negotiations with Spain,
or In any alternative action of interven-
tion thatrinally may be attenptediu behalf
of the Spanish bondholders and the Sugar
Trust magnates.
1t is the recognition of this danger of
which for the past six weeks The Times
has earnestly and persistentIy warned the
Congress and the country, that renders
1t now more necessary than ever to con-
tinue In the House the fight so SplenGidly
won in the Senate. If the Cubans do not
receive recognition of their belligerency,
a desperate effort will be made torob them
OF the fruits of their victory over Spain m

they Will need little more. In three
months after recognition they will have
been also recognized by every independent
nation OF the hemisphere. and will be in

their independence firmly and without hav-

ON Indian boy, and are not very much to
boys, during the days of their foolishness,
are fighters, and cherish secret ambitions
to kill, not only Indians, but "Biitishers,"
wild animals, and the boys on the other
side of town. Sometimes they hold on
to those ambitions till they grow up 1t
seems to be a primal instinct of human
nature But history has proved that with
a civilized bringing up and ameliorating
influences, and the growth of common
sense, this instinct is reduced to good
working basis. The grown-up and tluly
civilized boy only wants to kill when
there is some reason for his killing Who
can tell If ''Holy Track" might not have
become such boy if he had been handled
rightf
But perhaps this young Indian did go
TO a Government school Perhaps he
got hold Of United States history.
Perhaps he discovered that one of the
hbblcSb anu ILOSS
ings in the white mans breast had been
produced by killing Indians. What is
he to infer? He would hardly want 10
go out and kill Indians himself, as the
white boy does when he reads that his
tory. Besides, he gathers, if he gathers
anything, from his teaching. that pride
in ones race, and loyalty to it, is ad-
mirable. The only logical deduction from
that is that if it is the white mans
duty TO kill Sioux, it is the Indians
duty to kill white people. Now, what
is the use of calling this Indian brutal
young savage, and a monumental failure
in the line of civilizing the Indian, when
tie acts from such a prominent piece Of
logic as that?
The very best way in which we can
prove our superiority to other races is by
being superior and not talking about it.
And If we are vain, and selfish, and cruel
in our dealings with them, let us not
call them to account and say that We
are superior. 1t wouldn't be consistent.
