q better position Or opportunity for a

son has. His boats can slip in here at
any time for coal and be out again at
once. While enough vessels are left on
the blockade the others may come over
here for coal. There is danger of the
coal supply running out.
The hospital arrangements here are
nearly complete. DR.. Hall is now in
charge. The Convent of Mary 1mmacu-
late has turned over all of it's buildings
to the government to be used as hospi-
tails. The school children have been dis
missed and cots have been placed in all
the rooms. An operating room is now
in what used to be q schoolroom. Hos
pital tents have been put up in the
grounds, and 400 men can be attended

from the north are here. The convent
grounds are most suitable for a hospital.

tnat there is little doubt that the added
influence Of Spain would suffice to In
cline the balance definitely in favor Of
the Franco-Russian alliance.
In these circumstances it is not sur
prtsing to learn from Madrid that there
exists q decided disposition to cooper
ate with France and Russia with a view
TO extending eventually the dual a..
lance to Spain, provided the two allies
enter upon an active diplomatic inter
vention in favor of Spain. That inlpce..
tant negotiations r proceeding Just
now between Spain and France I hear
on excellent authority, and my infor-
nation is strengthened by an apparent
~ insignificant item of news. N. CAM
bon, the French ambassador, who is
now in Paris, is to spend his leave of
absence at Pau, the we'll known winter
resort in the Pyrenees, frequented. by
no one at this season, but conveniently
situated in proximity to Spain. Now,
NJ. Cambon, before going to- Constanti-
nople, was accredited at Madrid and
had there become a persona gratissima
both in court and i'll society. No one,
therefore, could be better qualified than
he to carry on with emissaries from
Spain confidential negotiations. Two
years ago France was anxious to
strengthen the dual alliance by the &C
cession of Spain, but the reluctance
then manifested at Madrid was account.
ed for by an apprehension lest England
should take umbrage. This scruple has
now disappeared, England. being next
to the United States the most unpopular
country with the Spaniards. just now.
AS one Of the main attractions which
Spain presented at that time to France
was her fleet it is to be- presumed that
every effort will be made to safeguard
it from complete disaster, while at the
same time Russia will endeavor to bring
about IN early conclusion of peace with
. view to save the Philippines for Spain
that being the only solution of that
difficulty which will square with her
interests in the far cast. The permanent
occupation Of these islands by either
the United States, Great Britain. Ger
many or Japan would be opposed by
every possible means both by Russia
and France. .,
It will thus be seen how materially
the attitude Of the United States affects
the whole course Of European affairs
and how %precarious is now the state Of
world politics. Z. D. in New York

PENAL. COLONY.
Proposition to Make the Philippines Ono
~ For the United States.

Proposition to Make the Philippines Ono
For the United States.
The Chicago Tribune has sounded
p~enitentiary wardens and governors of
various states on the question Of abol-
ishing state p~enitcntiaries, except for
short term %convicts. and making the
Philippines a penal colony of the Unit
ed States. Among the replies, most of
which are u~nfavorable, are these:
Henry Wolfer, Warden Minnesota
Penitentiary.-The penal colony system
has been tried in England and by other
nations, and it's history is a sad story of
human misery and suffering. 1t has
been largely abandoned because of its
failure. Icannot believe that the Chris
tian and philanthropic spirit that now
animates the United States at the close
Of the nineteenth century will allow its
lawmakers to take such a retrograde
step and thus undo all we have accom-
plished in the way of penal reforms
during the last 80 years. The penal col
ony system cannot reform, and the I'M
favorable climatic changes and unsani-
tary condition that must prevail will
greatly increase mortality and have not
one single feature to recommend it, not
even that of greater economy.
N. E. Phillips, Warden South Dakota
ePenitentiary.-I am opposed to the idea
of abolishing the state ~penitentiary sys-
tenn and establishing a penal colony in
the Philippine islands. Transportation
is an extremely rigorous punishment,
and particularly transportation to a
country with the climate of the Philip
pines. In my opinion the first aim Of
our penal system should be reformatory,
and that aim can be far better reached
in the state institutions of this country,
with familiar surroundings and habits
and an opportunity for the reformed
prisoner to enter again on an honest life
in his chosen community. The system
is working we'll in this state.
Governor Smith Of Montana also op-
poses the proposition.

TITLE TO THE PHILIPPINES.

hat Held by Spain.

WV AA+SA
That Held by Spain.
The doubts expressed in some quar-
tiers in this country about the United
States title to the Philippines need not
disturb anybody. If we complete our
conquest Of the islands, and we un-
doubtedly will, our title to them will
be just as good as that which most of
the nations have to q great part of the
territory which they hold. We shall
have a better title than the nation we
are driving out has had. Spain's right
to the Philippines by virtue of discov-
cry has been vitiated by it's centuries of
%rapacious, shiftless and barbarous rule.
All the inhabitants of the islands ex-
Dept part Of the native Spaniards will
rejoice to see Spain turned out, no mat.
ter what great nation ultimately gets
possession. The United States will be
tho possessor until the end Of the war,
but it may then trade them off or sell
them to England or some other country
which would govern them in a civilized
way. There is no certainty, however,
that the United States will get rid Of
them. It may decide to keep them
