Secretary Ayers answer contains
about 1000 words on the selection of Tam

mlral SIMPSONS dispatch as to the cause
OF Fastening troops to Santiago. Commo-
dore Remey's dispatch as to the cause OF
the delay OF troops. The discussion OF
these topics eXhausts the report.
No attempt seems to have been made
to ascertain the cause of the hardships
suffered by soldiers in Tampa. The mat
ter Is brushed aside with apparent con-
tempt in the relation that Tampa was
considered a good location and the most
convenient point of embarkation. Sec
rotary Alger will be asked for fuller
answer.
The program of the commission for this
week is to have no witnesses except those
who may be caught passing through
Washington. The time will be spent in
reading the voluminous report of the ad-
Jutant general, then the report of Sur
geon General Sternberg, and then the re-

The astonishing rapidity with which
the mechanical arts are advancing in
America is illustrated by the develop
ment of the use of compressed air, es-
pecially as applied to hand tools Tools
driven by compressed air have largely
supplanted even the simplest mechani-
cal devices in the railroad shops of Chi
cago. Screws are driven by this pow
er; nuts are turned; holes in steel and
wood are drilled, and in many other
ways has the use Of pneumatic tools
become not only a convenience but
necessity They can be handled with
ease and perform the work more quickly
and with less expenditure of labor than
by the old process. Mans power of
adapting the forces of nature to his
ends has no limit apparently. Great
strides already have been made, but
it is no unwise assumption to say that
no more than a beginning has been
made The marvels of invention are
bewildering in variety and scope, but
still man is not content and leaps from
triumph to triumph.

1t takes a very subtle casuist to es-
tablish the wrong of privateering and
the right of capture by government in
the same brief The former may be
the more fragrant evil, and we ought
to rejoice that it has practically been
abolished, but after all it is only a
question of degree, and the whole duty
OF nations win not have been accom-
plished in this matter until they take
form 1t altogether. If war does not
teach US something additional of the
duties of humanity and endow us with
fresh wisdom, then does it leave us
poor indeed.

In the event of the United States
holding any considerable number of
the islands over which the flag is now
floating. the extent Of the emigration
that will follow our cOnQuests Is a
matter of good deal of interest From
the statements made in some of the
newspapers it would appear that an
exodus of American citizens IS to take
place to Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippine Islands. Possibly this eX-
pectation may be realized to some ex-
tent, but 1t Is not probable that, how
ever much of the wealth of the COun-
try may seek investment in profitable
enterprises in those tropical islands,
any important migration of Americans
will follow. 1t is a law as old as the
world itself that men, plants and ami
mails are governed in their distribu-
tiOn by nearly the same immutable
laws, an dthat men moving over con-
tlnents rarely cross the isothermal
lines that bound the places Of their
birth. Take the mlgrationS of our
own people in this country and It is
noticeable that they have moved from
the Atlantic coast directly west.
Northern Illinois and Iowa have been
peopled from the New England States,
and the southern part of the State
from Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Kentucky. Although we have one
language, yet less than 10 per cent OF
the people of the United States are liy-
| ing under different climatic influences
| from those beneath which they were
born. Great Britain has not succeeded

rica Hollanders settle in Illinois, but

and the French go to our Southern
States, but not to Madagascar or Ton
quin. Americans will not seek resd-

which several Cinnamon were killed
and considerable of their property was
destroyed. Probably he also referred
to the killing of several Italians by
mob In New Orleans, for which the
United States government disavowed
any liability in damages, though it did
voluntarily pay an indemn-

eases by the Sultan was decidedly
