WAS MISREPRESENTED. The Consul General for Guatemala Replies to an Attack in the
 Bulletin.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 13, 1S9S
 TO the Editor of The Call-Dear Sir: In last Saturdays Bulletin appeared an article in which it was stated that I was boasting of being of Spanish origin. It also contained absurdities of a similar na- ture, all of which were intended to make my sojourn here unpleasant and to raise susceptibilities against me. This article, like all others, which are infamous, calumnious and cowardly, does not bear any signature, nor are the names of the persons given who are said to have ac- cused me. However, l know very well that it originated with the same three Guatemalan, who through envy and by political 1ntr1gueS have attacked me in the Bulletin since September last. As all their other attacks resulted in naught they now try this new caiumny with the most venomous intentions, characteristic of degraded people. So far I have treated al these attacks with the contempt they deserve, but since they begin to touch upon such delicate point, I have to protest with the greatest energy against what my hidden enemies publish about me, by declaring that l always used the greatest reserve whenever conversation turned upon the existing war. and that I always preferred not to speak about it at all. thus as was becoming to my official position, which I know very well how to uphold. This very position does not per init me to be very explicit in the matter: but profess my greatest sympathies for this great country, which every day I learn to love more. I am here by my own free will and visited San Francisco three times and New York twice before I was appointed Consul. and did so because I liked the Americans.
 My enemies say that I publicly declared to be a Spaniard; if so 1t will be an easy matter to bring witnesses, who neces- sarily must have heard my declaration, but l defy them, as they will be at a loss to procure one.
 Lastly 1 mention that there is no Guatemelan colony here at present either prominent or not prominent. Outside of two or three true gentlemen who are friends of mine, there are none as all the families which used to live here have re- turned to Guatemala I am. dear sir. very respectfully yours,
 H. CARRILLO

HDMIRHL DEWEY'S REPORT.

Q DMIRAL DBWEY'S official report to the / \ Navy Department on the action at Manila Bay confirms Tn every respect the story ot the vic tory as told by The Call It contains but one new item of information, and public interest in will be due anlyto the fact that every loyal American will de- sire to read the given of the great achieve ment by the heroic commander himself
 It will be noted that the admiral is most just and generous in the commendaton and praise given to his men and the officers who under his leadership directed them during the action T beg to state to the de- partnlent, says the admiral, that l doubt if any commander-in-ch ever served by more loyal, efficient and gallant captains than those of the squad under my command"
 In the list of those whom the admiral selected for the honor of direct mention by s J. L. Stick ney, the correspondent of the Herald and The Call Of him the admiral sad "He volunteered my aid and rendered valuable service" Thus it will be seen our representative the battle not only watched the combat closely as war correspondent charged with the duty of giving the first report of to the public but he found time also assist in the victory aid to the commander -n-chief, thus performing double service during the whole of the eventfu day.
 In his letter describing the battle Mr. Stckney said nothing of his service aid to the admiral That, therefore is the feature of in the port This it will be noted is quite different from the course pursued by the correspondents of yellow jour nals when by any chance they within the hearing of the guns of battle In the Manila fight it happens there yellow correspondents at all. It is safe to say it will be long time before any of the Ex- aminer fakers receive honorable mention in an official report.
 It is douby gratifying The Call to be able to fol- low up the story of the victory given by MT. Stick ney with that of Admiral Dewey in which Mir. Stick ney himself received due honor for his patriotic and courageous service during the action.

Editor San Francisco Call-Sir: In con- nection with the acquisition by the Unit ed States of the island territories of Ha- wafi, the Philippines and Porto Rico, there are considerationsnott to be lost sight of that are infinitely higher and of far greater import than the mere extension of our commercial empire and the enlarge ment of our facilities for defense against a foreign foe If we terminate the pres ent government by which the inhabitants of those respective islands are controlled, and do not vouchsafe to them the right to govern themselves, then this nation must assume the responsibility of gov erning them. This carries with it the ne- cessity of civilizing them, of protecting them against internecine strife, provid- ing for their maintenance against the greed and rapacity of predatory political adventurers, commercial cormorants and consclenceless land grabbers, and lastly, of educating and chrstianizing them. Does this nation want to assume such a burden of responsibility in the face of the fact that there are now within the bor- ders of the Union hundre.e of thousands Of men and women who are more in need of the aid of advance. cIv-iization to fit them as citizens of a christianized na- tion than are these islanders, judged from a standpoint of legal and moral recti- tude? Should. this Government annex Ha- waii by seizure or otherwise, and make conquest of the Philippines and Porto Rico. would we, by our treatment of the natives add to the odium we have our policy toward the American Indians ? One would scarcely think so: and yet it is painfully apparent that in all the talk now rife about these islands becoming the property of or part of. the United States there is no expressed considera- ton for the welfare and advancement of the natives. It is all for expansion of trade, extending commercial and territo- rial empire. and enlarging and strength ening our defenses against encroachment by any of our ambitious neighbors of the Eastern hemisphere. In a word, the animus is selfish greed, which is greatly to be deprecated and deplored, seeing that we are professedly a Christian na- tion. The question that should be up- permost with us in this matter is, Do the under the government of the United States? JOHN AUBREY JONES.

RAILROADS IN THE ORIENT.

FROM recently published statements concerning the export of American locomotives to foreign countries 1t appears the Orient is the largest purchaser in the market and that railroad extension Tn that portion of the world is going forward at con siderable speed They also show that our locomotives in good demand and that we have chance for an increasing trade in railway material of all kinds with the newly awakened people of both China and Japan.
 A representative of the Baldwin Locomotive Works is quoted saying his company within the last two months has received orders for Io7 locomotives & of
 these for railroads in Eastern China 10 for New Zea land six curiously enough, for Spain two for Argen- tina, one for Mexico and five for Egypt The Schenectady Locomotive Works report an order of thirty eight engines for Japan the Brooks Locomo- tive Works five for Japan and the Richmond Loco motive Works seventeen for the Finland Russian state railway
 Thus of the I67 locomotives for which foreign or ders have been given to the various works named no less than I26 are for the Orient An order from single company for eghty-three locomotives for China is in itself significant of the rapidy with which industrial changes going on in that old empire It is clear that trade interests with the Chinese are expanding rapidly and that 1t will be folly if we do not take steps to promote and foster them by every means in power
 Tn making these inroads into foreign markets industries are handicapped by the lack of American shipping Our manufacturers and our farmers would compete with their rivals for the rich trade of the Orient better terms if they had equal advan- tages in shipping. This marked development of the Oriental market ought therefore to prove strong incentive to Congress to hasten the enactment of legislation favorable to the upbuilding of our mer- chant marine one-sided growth IS never healthy nor durable If we to promote our industries at home and make the United States the manufacturing center of the world we must also promote our indus tries on the and make our shipping equal to the demands of our commerce

Speaking of his name General Fitzhugh Lee said not long ago: Tt has been a heavy load. I have had the reputation of lot of ancestors as we'll as my own to look after. Whatever good 1 have done has been credited to them, and what ever evil has been charged to me and magnifed, because people said they had a right to expect much better things of a man of my blood and breeding. When I was running for Governor of Virginia John Wise said that If my name had been Fitzhugh Smith I never would have se- cured the nomination. I replied that had known many good men named smith, and would have been as proud of that name as of the one I wore. In that way I got the votes of the Smiths in Vir- ginia, and letter from man who told me never to forget John Smith, our first settler, who killed Pocahontas.

THE GEARY-STREET FRANCHISE.

! HE petition Of the Geary-Street Gable Company
 for renewal of its franchise is source of great
 anxiety to poodle morning contemporary. Not only does this authority produce daily argument to show that the Supervisors have power at this time to advertise the franchise for sae but it quotes copousy from the law to prove that if they attempt to do they will be guilty of malfeasance in office The interest thus manifested is more than pathetic it is calculated to move the heart of stone dog, which IS about the most immovable thing on earth.
 The franchise of the Geary-street company will ex- pire in 1903 The of 1897, providing for the sale of railway franchises forbds the renewal of any now being exercised until year next preceding their expiration. If this law IS complied with the franchise of the Gearysreet line cannot be advertised for sale until 1902, unless Tn the meantime the company now holding it abandons it, which may, of course easily do If the sale of this valuable property be post poned until 1902 will under the provisions of the charter and may be so weighted down with restrictions to make its purchase undesirable The effort of the Market-street company which has sue ceeded to the rights of the Geary-street company to effect sale at this time may thus be readily under stood. Whether renewal of the franchise and the construction of electric line to be managed by the Marketstreet company would be in the interest of the public and residents of Geary street we do not know. It is apparent that it would not be in the in lclCSl Oi 1Hc, DOOQlcI IS SulC1ently atteSted by its present anxiety.
 If The Boodler friendly with the Solid Eight in the Board of Supervisors as it was prior to the Spring Valley cnch of last year probably it would not vigorously oppose the renewal of the Geary- street franchise. But since the eight declined its assistance in holding up the water company feel ing of hostility has existed which has been greatly augmented by the attempt of Mayor Phelan The Boodlers especial protege to oust the Supervisors There is chance to make money out of the Geary- street franchise Even if the Southern Pacific were disposed to restore The Boodler to its payroll at SIooo month it would not do so on account of any opposition it might make to the renewal of this fran chse. All the corporation need do in the premises is to pave the way legally and the Supervisors will do the rest irrespective of what The Boodler says or thinks.
 Hence The Boodler may we'll cease from trou- bling There is nothing in the Gearystreet franchise for it. That privilege belongs to the Solid Eight" and that aggregation of statesmen will not divide
 II the Market-street company wants the franchise 1t can abandon its present privilege and ask for an other Being the owner of track, roadbed and cars 1t can bid more than any other corporation at the sale The Railroad Commission is not very fruitful field for the exercise of its talents but if The Booder desires to be restored to the payroll should conine its efforts to that locality. There is no chance to break in via Geary street
