Yauco and Ponce.

The news that Gen. MILEs's advance from
Port Guanica was disputed by the enemy
is quite credible. He had landed In one of
the most thickly populated and CONNER
cially active parts Of the island. 1t is a re.
gion, too. that has defensive capabilities i;
and when we reflect that he had only
about 1000 men with him, or a small
fraction Of the army he will ultimately
assemble in Porto Rico, 1t 10 clear why the
enemy offered some resistance there.
The first point for Gen. MILES to occupy
was Yauco, four miles from the coast, and
he promptly threw out sklrmlshers toward
1t, who were encountered, according to Gen.
MACEAs, by Col, PuiG's command. Yauco
is intrlnsically important, being a trade
centre for the agricultural products of that
part of the island, and Is the sixth city. We

Tho Democratic Party and tho Scare
crow OF "Imperialism."

CAO" Va
The school Of Democrats who cling to the
notion that opposition, simply for the
sake of opposition, is sufficient motive force
to give vigorous vitality to a political
party, is now engaged in a painful effort to
hammer out an issue of " Imperialism" for
no other reason than that it assumes that the
Republicans will favor the retention of the
~conquests Of the war. Accordingly. the
Democratic Convention of the First West
Virginia District. In nominating the
Hon. j. V. BLAIR as its candidate for
Congress, proceeded to handicap him for
the race by declaring that "we are unal.
terably opposed to the Inauguration of i'm.
perlalism." Similar declarations have been
made by many other conventions or by In.
dividual Democratic politicians.
1t appears, however, that this policy of
opposition to the whole national spirit, to
the impulses of human nature itself, for
the mere sake of making an issue with
the Republicans. does not meet with uni.
versal Democratic concurrence. The con-
Vtction that the American people will never
support a party which proposes to dissipate
the fruits Of the war by s~urrepdering to
Spain our conquests. instead of keeping
them as our riRhtful property, is strong,
however, In the broader minds among the
Democrats. They see the folly of leaving
the Republican party as the sole represen-
tative Of the pride, sense of Justice, and
progressive spirit of America; and they are
loath to relegate the Democracy to perma-
nent contempt as a stupid v~iolator of its
W historical principles and traditions.
This division of sentiment extends
throughout the Union, and we are told by
correspondent of the Galveston Ne,ns that
1t will be exhibited strikingly at the coming
Democratic State Convention of Texas when
the bugbearof "imperialism" Is brought out
Asa scarecrow, according to the prearranRed
plan OF the reactionary element. He saws
that there is no question whatever of the
Endorsement of the Chicago platform"
hut that when tho subject OF territorial
expansion m up the hair of the Demo.
cratic party, which has for so long lain
smooth and nice, Is going to be frizzled."
The more enlightened leaders are deter.
mined that their party shall not be driven
from the political field in dlsgraceful con.
fusion without a vigorous attempt on their
part to check the retreat.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. CRANE, the Attorneys General
OF Texas, is one of these Democratic lead.

The Very Same Banner.

Tho Americans Of Hawaii arc manifest
ing q refinement of sentiment that over
looks none Of the historical proprieties.
They have arranged that the flag which is
to be hoisted at Honolulu when the United
States Government formally takes possess
sion Of the island shall be the identical
piece OF bunting hauled down by Para
mount BLoUNT when GROVER CLEVELAND
ordered 1t down.
The Joy Is great in Hawaii over the full
hlment of the hopes which the policy Of
infamy postponed but did not defeat. In
the patriotic exhilaration of the ome
we have no doubt that the Hawaiians are
ready to forgive even Paramount BLoUNT
for his part in that ignoble and humiliat-
ing transaction. BLoUNT. after all, was
o mere agent-a willing agent. 1t is true,
and q subservient tool-of the policy of
infamy. Severe as his punishment justly
has been, there is no reason why it should
be eternal.
But there Is no pardon, at Honolulu or
elsewhere, for the man, who. as President
of the United States. deliberately plotted
and s~trenuously e~ndeavored to force back
upon Hawaii the rotten, ridiculous mon
archy from which she had escaped. That
attempt will remain unique in the history
Of political crimes. 1t is CL~EvELAED's
fate and punishment to be remembered, as
long as American history Is read, as the
~downhauler Of the flag which was restored
to It's place over Hawaii, In spite of him, by
the will of the American people.
Indeed, as time goes on, there will be
little else for which he is remembered.

No American Soldier VIII Lie Under
This Monument.

We read yesterday with no little graft.
1cation and reinsurance the resolutions
adopted by the Relief Committee of the
Veterans of the Seventy-frst Regiment In
relation to PULITzER's proposition to erect
a monument to the men who fell at Santi-
ago. We had been wondering II 1t were
possible that PULITZER would be permitted
to proceed unrebuked with his project, but
we are glad to learn that our Impressions
respecting the moral fibre and quality Of
the Seventy.frst, and Of all affiliated with
1t, were sound.
The soldiers Of the Seventy. first who fell
at Santiago are the nations dead. Their
memory is sacred to the whole people of
the United States as men who made for
their country and their fellow men the
supreme sacrifice of their lives. Theirs Is
the glory of 1t. Ours 1t is to make fit
recognition. in our hearts. in our speech,
and in our acts, Of our great gratitude and
our great debt.
1t Is, therefore. with unspeakable disgust
and absolute nausea that all decent men
look upon the proposition that any man
should touch these sacred dead for his own
private gain. Yet that Is the proposition
that has been made, and that is the PROPOSE.
tion hat the Veterans of the Seventy-frs
have just repudiated.
PULITZER, to advantage his monstrous
and infamous World, would build upon
this hallowed dust as an Advertisement a
monument. For him these dead soldiers
are c~arrion, and the foul kites that lowered
above the bloody field at Santiago were as
ministering angels compared with PULIT-
Ter. Come" he cries in that daily shame
to our city n our country, the World,
"come all We little children and gather
to me the money of your kindred to build n
monument to those fallen soldiers, to the
end that the World may yet be sold and
that I may hide from vengeance. l called
those dead men towards in the face of the
enemy l put upon them the most awful
outrage and shame that the m~alignity of
man could contrivc. Now come ye little
ones come with money, and let your work
~atoneI'
Such, daily, is the cry of PULITZER.

according to the Interpretation Of this rule the TO-

II. therefore. take IL that a player may insult with.

such a thing can 90 UNPUBLISHED simply because tho

time to have II inserted. Al MEYER
Mr.. MEYER Is right. 1t was a poor plan to
specify every form Of remarks forbidden to
players. No player on the field should be al
lowed to speak at NIL while engaged In the game.
The other letter Ia this:
ITO THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sir: / abhor HoLMEs
and his methods. but cannot overlook the fact that
n HIS remark had been directed to any other person,
Mr.. FREEDMAN would never have taken notice OF Il,
no matter what complaint might have been made.
His methods In tho past have been q sad blow TO
baseball. J. HowAnD."
What Mr.. HOWARD says Is true. The first Of
fort in behalf OF the New York Club TO make
tho ball field orderly instead OF riotous was
prompted by a disorderly act that was brought
home personally to the New York President.
Let Mr., FREEDMAN fight against disorder with
all his strength. but no had better begin at It's
worst form and forbid his men to kick against
the umpire. Whether he starts upon this cru
sado or not, though. the League as n body had
better start upon 1t. and show the kickers Of
oil clubs that there Is a power willing and able
10 make them observe the rules.
