IT is singularly inconsistent to hear
republican papers declaiming against
the lazy, shiftless, good for naughl
Cubans and the fool, smart Aleck
Philippine insurgents, and then hurrah
so loudly for making them citizens of
the United States by annexation, The
fact Is that few republicans, Of the
politician class any way, realize that
1t requires the very best and most in
tellgent Of people to successfully con
duct republic, and that among the
ignorant and degraded 1t is simply a
government Of the opulent through
a rabble whom they buy and control by
corruption. But then after all that
fact seems rather to attract than re-
pei the politician class. To be sure it
may be fairly urged that IL these Is.

Uuited States, American citizens will
soon replace the natives in places of

nevertheless remain fact that If the
elective franchise is extended to the
natives, they will hold the balance of

which will really govern, If the fran

REPUBLICAN papers like the News,
are making grave mistake when they
attempt to shield Secretary Alger.
Popnlists and democrats have blamed
thepresident for his dillatory tactics

there has heen little or no criticism of
his conduct Of the war. SO the respon-
sibility for the ineiliciency, laundering

New York. May 15.-The Herald's
correspondent sends the following:

dable to the Spaniards. who drew up on
the beach and waited. When within 1.O0O
yards both boats opened with shrapnel
The first few shells few wide and the
Spaniards defiantly replied with rife vol
leys. Bullets splashed like hail about the
boats but did no damage.
After a few shots our gunners got the
range In rapid succession the shells burst
among the Spanish. who promptly broke
ranks and took TO the woods. The Span
iards are known 10 have lost half a dozen
men killed and wounded. Il was a brisk
little skirmish while it lasted.
This morning bodies of troops could oc-
casionally be seen marching eastward be-
tween Havana and Cojima but they kept
well under cover. The Osceola steamed
slowly along within 500 yards of the beach
with chip on her shoulder, but the enemy
appeared TO have lost their inclination to
fight gunboafs.
Gen. Blancono longer fears that Havana
will be attacked from the sea. East Of
MORO and half way up the slope that
rises to the old San Diego fort is new
battery bearing on the approach along
the shore from the direction of Matanzas.
This battery is just being completed To-
day could see soldiers throwing up big
sand embankments to protect the guns.
It contains four ten-fnch rifles. two of
which are mounted in barbette. These
preparations show that Blanco has not

'Havana's principal defense from as

around the city at an average distance of
ten miles East of Havana this trocha

THE HAWAIIAN RESOLUTION.
Reed and DingIey still Opposing It's
Consideration in the House.

The majority and minority reports of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs on the
joint resolution for the annexation of Ha-
waii will be submitted to the House to-
morrow. Chairman Hit has not yet per
suaded the Speaker to agree upon date
for consideration of the resolution. and.
therefore. it must hang up to await the
action of the Committee on Rules.
Mr.. Dingley wants to get his revenue
and bond bill through before having the
annexation resolution passed. He is
afraid that the Republican friends of
annexation might relax their interest in
the bond proposition If they got their
favorite measure safely through. Hence
he proposes to hold it over them if he
can.
But it is doubtful if Chairman Dingley.
even with the cooperation of the Speaker
can delay action on the Hawaiian reso-
luton until the Senate shall have dis
posed of the revenue bill Many of the
Republicans of the House are getting
very impatient at the opposition of their
leaders to annexation. Open revolt is
threatened unless the House is given an
opportunity to vote on the resolution.
The Administration is exerting its in
fuence in behalf of prompt action The
President makes it point TO urge Re
publican members who visit the White
House to insist upon speedy action. He
tells them that the possession of Ha-
waii is of the greatest Importance in view
of the proposed expedition to the Philip
pine Islands.

European Friends and Foes.

The Times special cable dispatch
from London. published Sunday morn
ing, referring to the newly aroused hos
tility of continental Europe toward
this country, has created d profound
sensation in Administration and Con-
gress:onaI circles as well as among the
people. The statement that nothing
but the stern veto of Great Britain has
saved US from being ordered out of the
Philippines and to confine our opera
tions against Spain to the Western
Hemisphere. is not only sensational;
it is nothing short of startling.
1t is the first concrete evidence Of
European awakening to a fact no less
startling to Old World craftsmanship
and diplomacy! At length continental
Europe has been shocked into under
standing that what it has heretofore
regarded with more or less contempt
as a vast aggregation Of unmilitary
and provincial farmers, shopkeepers
and manufacturers totally devoid of
the sentiment, experience or ability
necessary to war, has suddenly ap-
peared on the horizon of cosmic affairs
and problems as a great nation, full
armed and terrible to its enemies.
The revelation which came with Ad-
miraI Dewey's victory at Manila has
created agitation in every chancellerie
from the English Channel to st. Pc
tersburg. In those cabinets originally
and always unfriendly to the United
States the result has been something
like actual panic and the representa-
tions of three powers to Great Britain,
as narrated in our cablegram, was a
consequence which need not surprise
us That either Russia or Germany
was aggressively if in any sense a par
ty to this movement we are not yet
ready to believe. 1t is possible that
one or both of them may have given
cold assent to such proposition, pre-
sented tentatively, to find out, as far
as they We're concerned, to what extent
the apparent friendship of the British
government for us might be expected
to operate as against any future con-
tinental plans or purposes.
Russia, for political reasons, would
hardly jump at plan which, if prose-
cuted TO the point of an overt act,
would inevitably lead to and necessi-
tate a firm offensive and defensive al
lance between the English-speaking
nations. At least there does not ap-
pear to be anything in the immediate
situation which could justify such an
adventure in statecraft, nor do we
think that the Kaiser would care to
promote such a union unless, TO be
sure, he had a private intention to join
it. Be that as it may, it is manifest
that the continental powers, even if
they could arrange a plan of complete
common action among themselves,
which is highly improbable, owing to
the friction between them on a variety
of questions. would not care to try
forces of America and the British en-
pire, with Japan added. as she would
be in such an eyentuality.
