McKinley's Ohio Echo.

/ The platform of the Ohio Republican
convention may be accepted as voicing
the sentiments of the administration.
Hanna was in supreme command, and
everything moved along in perfect
harmony with his cut and dried pro-
gram. Undoubtedly the platform was
prepared in Washington, and most
likely under the supervision Of Mr..
Mckinley himself. This is the first
time the party in his State has had an
opportunity TO declare itself on nation
al questions since the presidential
election, and it was fitting that Mr..
McKialey's own State should be the
first to announce the Republican party s
reputation of the Monroe doctrine.
and its adoption of worldwide terri
torial conquest. and the close identif-
cation of the United States with the
political and economic affairs of the
nations of both hemispheres.
The annexation of the Hawaiian
islands is heartily indorsed, and then
attention is called TO .'our recent vic
tory in the Philippines. and the re-
sponsibilties attached thereto" This
is an indirect but none the less en-
phatic declaration Of the new terri
torial doctrine. Admiral Dewey's vic
nj ~
and no ''responsibilities" could be ssat-
tached thereto, " unless the victory be
used as an excuse for acquiring the
islands by conquest and annexing them
to the United States. and that is exact
ly what the Ohio platform means by
sponsibilities The adroit word
ing of the declaration shows purpose
to deceive the people, but the garment
was cut too short. The hoofs of 1.-The
American empire" are visible before
and behind and on either side. It will
not do to say that the party is not
bound by the Ohio declaration. Mr..
Hanna holds himself personally re-
sponsible for every line of the plat
form, and he is not the kind of a man
to permit his party to repudiate his
program; besides. he is too close to
Mr.. Mckinley for it to be supposed
that they are not in perfect accord.
The Democratic party has been
charged over and over again that it is
parading the ''plutocrat bogy'' to dis
credit the Republican party before the
people, and it has also been charged
times without number that it is Dem
ocratic invention, and very discred-
liable one at that. But the Ohio plat
form and the foreign policy OF the
administration not only confirm all
that the Democrats have charged, but
prove that national Imperialism is the
ultimate purpose of the Hannas and
McKinleys of the Republican party.
Keen-eyed and discerning as the Dem
ocratic party is, it did not fanthom the
purpose of the protected plutocrats and
the monopolistic leaders of the Repub
lican party until Dewey's victory, and
their own boasting drew the veil aside.
But be it said to their credit, they no
longer try to entirely conceal their
plans. They now practically declare
that the principles and institutions of
the government, as established by the
have become obsolete, and
that an empire, and imperial empire
shall take its place with a plutocratic
superstructure resting
upon a proletarian foundation. This |
is the Republican party's new declara |
ton of principles.-h. G. Times.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The full re-

Cervera's squadron, off Santiago, on
the morning of July 3, have been made
public by the navy department.
Each report is made in detail, as re.
quired by the naval regulations, and
they would seem to dispel the news

THE BATTLE OF JUYL THIRD.
Designation for the Great Sea Fight 10
Which Admiral Csrvera's Squad
ron was Destroyed.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-A name has
been found at last for the remark bile
naval battle between the American
and Spanish ships that resulted in the
destruction of Cervera's squadron. The
absence of name has been felt in the
clumsy attempts made in official reports
to refer to the engagement. Lieut..
Whittlesey, of the navigation bureau,
has evolved name that Is likely to be
formally adopted for the engagement.
1t is The Battle of July Third"
He does this for the reason that some
of the most famous battles that
the world has known have
been christened as of the date
upon which they were fought.
Thus the battle of July One" was at
tached to the famous naval engage
ment fought in mid-ocean between
Lord Howe's fleet on one side and the
combined French and Spanish fleets on
the other, which resulted in memora-
BILE victory for the British navy.

Bavaria, Baden and Wurtemberg had
come into the confederation, which in
1867 was fully organized, with twenty
two states and 29,O00,0 900 inhabitants,
Prussia being in effect the supreme
head, as Bismarck had all along de-
termined it should be. He had been
made a count in 1865, and as a reward
for his magnificent services in forming
the North German confederation he
was made its chancellor and president
of the federal council.
The squabble over the proposed cession
of Luxembourg to France afforded Bis
marck an excellent excuse for strength
ening his armies in preparation for
the irrepressible conflict with France,
which came in 1870, and enabled him to
witness the fulfillment of his lifelong
hope, when William was crowned en-
peror of Germany in the palace of the
French kings at Versailles. It was
Bismarck who dictated the terms of
peace to the utterly vanquished Franks,
as it was also he who bore prominent
part with his king in the campaign that
led up to the glorious victory. In that
month. January, 1871. he was made
chancellor of the newly made empire,
and in the following March his grateful
master created him a prince.
Thenceforward until he was retired by
the present emperor in March, 1890, he
was virtual controller of the affairs of
the great empire, although he nominally
retired from the presidency of the state
ministry in December, 1872, to resume
the office again in the following October.
The old king died and the new king,
who forgot, if he was not envious of, the
immortal service rendered by the great
chancellor, sent him off to Friedrichs-
ruhe in disgrace, with the added title OF
duke of Lauenburg. In calm dignity
the proud old man endured his SEN
tence, making no complaint. The peo-
pie did not forget, nor were they want
ing in gratitude to the man their old
king loved and trusted. They, too,
waited in silence, biding the good time
of his vindication, which came like the
rush of a mountain torrent April l.
1895, the eightieth anniversary of Bis.
marck. Then the king and princes
and rulers, citizens and the army WED
with each other in seeking to do honor
| to the man who had placed Germany
| foremost among the nations of Europe
Never before had the world seen such
honors heaped upon a private either
| and never before was there a private
citizen who more richly merited the
distinction An enemy he may have
been to progressive liberty and popular
government, but his loyalty to the
fatherland was never questioned and hs

Gen. Henry has made report to this

WERE LITERALLY STARVING.
Awful Condition of the Spanish Troops n
Guantsnsmo-Rescued from Death
by the Americans.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 2s.-Lieut.-
Col. Angel Resell. who, after taking
confirmation of the instructions to sur
render from Gen. ToraI to Gen. Paro-
ia, military governor of guantanamo,
returned here yesterday afternoon,
says that the first intimation that
Guantanamo had of the surrender of
Santiago and the terms thereof was
on July %, when Rear Admiral Samp-
SON sent letter to Gen. Paroja ask
ing what number of rations should be
sent to his garrison, as they had been
surrendered on the 18th.
Gen. Paroja, being ignorant of the
surrender, refused to credit the mes
sage and accept rations, answering Ad-
miral Sampson to that effect. Adj
miral Sampson then sent a copy of the
terms of surrender, whereupon Gen.
Toral at Santiago whether the news
was true, and Lieut--Col. Resell was
appointed to come here. He returned
with this confirmation and the surren-
der of Guantanamo took place Mon
day.
Col. Resell says the conditions at
Guantanamo are awful, and troops are
literally starving. For the last eight
days they have had no food. On mount
ing guard the soldiers were obliged to
sit, being too weak to stand, and it
was impossible to make them build
trenches, as they fell from exhaustion.
There are 1000 sick in Guantanamo,
suffering from diseases increased by
hunger.
The French cruiser Rigault de Genu-
lily was refused permission by Admiral
Sampson to land grain and provisions
for the relief of the French colony at
Guantanamo. All hope was aban-
doned and the sufferers were awaiting
death from starvation. The condi-
tions of Guantanamo, Col. Resell says,
are worse than they were at Santiago.
Lieut.. Col. Evans of the Ninth in
fantry, received the surrender of Guam
tanamo Monday. The Spanish troops
will remain in the town until trans.
ported.
