A MORAL QUESTION.
Our Retention of Spanish AC-
Quired Territory.
Confined from last week.

(COntined from last week.
There is no doubt bit of jingoism
in the written and spoken expression
regarding the success of the war and
our projection at a bound into the
worlds national activities, but if l read
the sentiment of the time correctly
there is behind all a substantial foun-
dalton of sober thought and feeling
over our new responsibilities. 1t is to
be noted that in the steps leading up
to the war everything was done in the
open. The President and Congress
had the public sentiment in advance
on all important subjects; the whole
nation as far as possible and compat-
ible with public safety were taken in
to the confidence of the government.
This is as it should be, and now as we
move ahead in the development of
the new national life the people will
again exert a controlling influence on
public sentiment and demand that
the United States shall furnish to
Cuba, Porto Rico and Luzon the best
government of which the people ia the
respective islands are capable. The
potent motives that urge US to q new
policy, call it the New Monroe Doc
trine if you please, is stated by Pro-
lessor West in a recent lecture as
follows: First, a right regard to our
material welfare. Broader action is
demanded by our commercial inter-
ests, especially IN China, and the
magnitude of these interests is so tre-
mendous as to make the question
almost moral one.
"For the past three years England
has been fighting our battle for us
there-a battle much more ours than
hers, if we look to the future. Some
of US might be content to let England
continue to fight it alone if she would
and could, but there are not wanting
signs that she must yield to the union
of Russia, France and Germany unless
we are ready to do our part. Second
Our spiritual interests as . nation.
Only broader action in the future can
give us dignity and self-respect. I
know there may be dangerous jingo-
ism in the phrase that it is time for
America to take her proper place
among the nations of the world. When
you have said that argument is closed.
And l hesitate to use that tone. But,
after all, it is dangerous only because
of the truth in it. 1t may be used to
base ends, but it may be used to noble
ones; and it is ignoble for a nation
permanently to escape from society as
for hermit to skulk from his smaller
woodland as fatal. Third-W World
patriotism. As we need the world 50
does the world need us. It is
seIfishness not to heed
it. One illustration is enough. What
right have we to let the Turk 90 his
blissful way to make Armenia char
mel house. when, literally, word from
US might have stopped it. I have no
sympathy with the cry that we should
have sent feet to knock the Turkish
government to pieces in return for out
RACES upon American missionaries, as

MANILA WILL FALL SOON.
American Fleet Stripped for Action-Gen.
eral Greene's Address to the Troops.

New York, Aug. "a copyrighted
dispatch to the World, dated Manila,
Aug. A, via Hongkong, Aug. 9, says:
The United States monitor Monterey
arrived here today. Manila will fall
as soon as the monitor Monadnock
comes. She is expected by next Thurs
day. Admiral Dewey's ships are strip
ping for action. Owing to the high
wind and heavy seas, the troops of the
third expedition have not yet landed.
Two lighters were capsized in an at
tempt to land and three natives drowned.
Immediately after the arrival of the
expedition, General Merritt organized
all forces for attack on Manila.
The troops were formed into one divi-
sion under command of General Ander-
son. The division is composed of two
brigades, the first under General Mac
Arthur and the second under General
Greene. The two brigades number
1000 men. Admiral Dewey's fleet com
mands the trenches and camps of the
Spaniards. The situation at Manila is
critical. The lights of the city are ex-
tinguished. The defenses are Gordon
of trenches, two batteries of nine and
slX-inch guns each, the latter on the
Cavite side.
The big guns are directly in front of
Manila.
General Green issued this address to
troops: Camp Dewey, near Manila
The brigadicr general commanding de-
Sircs to thank the troops engaged last
night for the gallantry and skill dis
played by them in repeling such Wig
Drous attack by largely superior forces
of Spaniards. Not an inch of ground
was yielded by the 10th Pennsylvania
infantry and the Utah artillery, sta
Toned in trenches. A battalion of the
'rd artillery and 1st regiment of Cali
ornia infantry moved forward to their
support through CALLING fire with the
Utmost intrepidty. The courage and
teadiness shown by all III the engage
nent is worthy of the highest COM
nendatiOn."

Ponce, Puerto Rico, Aug. 6.-General
Henry with the 9th Illinois and 9th Mas
sachusetts will move tomorrow by way
Adjutantas on Arecibo, about 20 miles
north of Adjutantas. as the crow flies
The short stretch of road the troops will
follow is in very bad condition. Prac-
tically all of our troops will then be in
motion, in four columns, towards the
capital, San Juan. General Schwan is
at Yacucosi, General Wilson near Coma,
and General Brooke at Guanyama. The
Puerto Ricans enlisted by General Stone
have been engaged with small Spanish
outpost between Adjutantas and Utuado,
on the road to Arecibo. One Spanish
officer was killed.
Major General Miles with several
troops of cavalry expects to follow Cen
eral Henry in a day or two. If peace is
promptly declared, General Miles will be
the first to enter San Juan, going by
railroad from Arecibo to the Puerto
Rican capital. In view of the news re-
ceived here about the progress of peace
negotiations, all the American army of
ficers appear to believe that there will
be no more fighting. The feet is in the

the American government will not hand
Cuba over to the insurgents, but will re-
tain control of the government in order
that the interests of Spanish property
owners may be respected Spain also
intimates her preference for the reten-
tion of Puerto Rico, surrendering any
