Der time when wars on great scale
seemed TO be pending In so many quar-
ters as at present. In both the Old and
the New World the political skies are
overcast. Asia, Africa, Europe and
America are expecting TO soon hear the
tramp Of armies. The Chinese dismem-
berment, the Nile and the Cuban ques-
tion are subjects Of earnest interest to
the worlds diplomats and soldiers at
the present time. Not since the over
throw Of Bonaparte has the world at any
one time seen so many problems and
complications which threaten trouble
as 1t does at this moment. England,
Japan, Russia and France are Involved
in the Chinese difficulty, and II this re-
suits in war, Germany will have to get
in, for Germany's interests In this con-
troversy are the same az those OF Rus
STA and France. In Africa, France and
England are in a controversy, and II
this brings war Italy may be drawn in

which may bring conflict at any time.

What die Committee Says.

The Congressional committee, Sena-
tors Money, Thurston and Gallinger
and Congressman Cummings and Smith,
on its return from Cuba, concluded its
report as follows !:
The Cuban problem reduces itself to
q question of American policy. Inter
nally, it is evident that no solution is
possible The present situation might
continue for years. With the recon-
centrados temporarily relieved, the
ends to be attained are:
First-Peace.
Second-Stable government.
The incident of the Maine, even
though it has reused the country as no
other event in its history, must be rel
egated to second place beside the other
issues involved in the Cuban problem.
Whether or not the settlement of the
latter becomes involved in and make q
part of the discrimination OF the former,
rests with the President and on the re-
port of the Court of Inquiry.
But it is painfully evident that peace
win not come to Cuba until it is i'm
posed by the action of the United
States. This country has suffered enor-
nous and irreparable losses from the
continuation OF q conflict which has
few of the attributes of civilized war
fare and all the evils of barbarous
struggle
Neither international obligations nor
desire for the maintenance of peace
full relations can justify the United
States in permitting a further contin-
uance Of this disturbance at our doors.
Peace cannot be attained except
through Intervention, and the sooner
that can be had the sooner can stable
government be established.

NAVAL WAR BOARD PRAISED.
Secretary Long Expresses Highest
Appreciation of Its Work.

WASHINGTON, August 2i.-The Navy
Department to-day gave out the following
letter. addressed by Secretary Long to the
president OF the War Board, in recogni-
ton OF that body's services:
"Hngham. Mass, August q. 1898.
my Dear Admiral,-In view OF the prac-
tical ending of the war with Spain, and
the well-earned relief from further duty
to which the naval War Board is now en-
titled cannot. though absent from the
department. forbear TO express to You,
and through you to your associates on the
rIl-Commodore Crowinshield and Cap
tain Mahan (retired)-the very high APP
probation which the department has Of
the services II has rendered since the war
began. That it's members have been faith
full and diligent in the highest measure
goes without saying. for they are ami
mated by the high professional spirit
which distinguishes the navy, and which
they have themselves done much TO stim-
ulate and maintain. But from my per-
soaal knowledge and observation, 1 desire
to add to this, that equally marked have
been the intelligence. the wise judgment,
the comprehensive forethOught and the
unfaiing competency TO meet every ext
gency which have distinguished their de-
liberations and actions. May 1t not be
said that not one error has been made?
Proper control by the department has
been exercised over all movements in the
field, and yet at the same time command
ing officers have been duly left TO exer-
else discretion, and have never been ham,
pered in their work. l do not know
how your work, as members of that i'm
portant board, could have been better
done, or where in the arena of the war
you could have rendered better service
or deserved more honor.
every truly yours.
(Signed) JOHN ID. LONG,
Secretary Of the Navy"

HANNA ON ANNEXATION.
We Want No More OF Philippines
Than Mnniia-Cuba.

ST. PAUL. MINI, August Ex-senator
NJ. A. Hanna. of Ohio. arrived in the city
this evening from the Yellowstone Park.
Speaking OF the annexation question lie
said:
THE philippine question is a problem
We cannot solve in hurry. We, of course.
must retain a coaling station there. but l
10 not think it likely we shall want more
than Manila and its harbor.
Cuba is another problem. 1 never was
much Of Cuban, and am not prepared to
commit myself as to the policy We should
pursue there. We propose to establish a
stable government in that island. but
what constitutes a stable government has
not yet been defined. / think. however,
that Cuba will be an evolution, and ir
about twenty years it will be so thorough
Ia Americanized that there will be no
question as TO what a stable government

MKINLEY's INTENTIONS.
What Madrid Understands They Are
Ii Doesn't Like.

LONDON, August Pa dispatch TO the
Standard from Madrid, by way of France.
says:
"a very unfavorable impression has
been caused in Madrid by kilograms at
tributing to President Mckinley the in
tention OF instructing the peace commits
soners to insist upon the cession OF
Luzon, that American commerce should
have the same footing as Spanish in the
Philippines, and that Spain should pledge
itself that none of the Spanish Colonies
should be ceded to European Powers. If
such are the intentions of the United
States Government the negotiations are
sure to be iaborious, even If an under
standing is ever arrived at.
''The Spaniards consider that the ces-
sion of Luzon. their best and most i'm
portant island, would be a death-blow to
their prestige and sovereignty in those
regions, and they would be irretrievably
weakened and crippled by the presence
of Americans in the heart Of their Colo
nies.
Commercial equality with the United
States in the archipelago would annul
the only advantage and compensation
which they might have expected TO de-
rive for the cost and sacrifices which
have been necessary to maintain their
rule in the archipelago.
CHURCH AND STATE.
"The severance of Church and State
would be more unpalatable to most
Spaniards. and would create grave difii-
culties in their relations with the Vatican
and the Church, let alone the powerful
religious orders in Spain, which are al
ways disposed to side with Don Carlos
against the present dynasty.
Last, but not least. any pledge to re-
frain from ceding any part to the Powers
would displease many statesmen and peo-
pie of all classes, who are daily more and
more inclined to advocate the sale OF
the Spanish archipelago TO the highest
bidder. and especially 10 Continental
Powers most likely 20 be in position TO
arrest the growth OF American political
and commercial influence in the Far East.
Nothing could be better calculated than
the pretensions credited TO America to
develop in Spain the visibly growing Ce-
sire to cease all connection with the
Philippines, and thus oblige the United
States Government TO assume the burden
Of the responsibilities of their govern
ment, which would naturally create con-
fiicts with European Powers and tend In
any case to entail for the United States
more trouble and sacrifice in men and
money.
Even the lower and middle classes
seem 20 think alike that in this direction
Spain could make America pay for the
wrongs inflicted"

FIGHTING IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Bloody Engagement Between spnn-
ish and Insurgents Reported.

MADRID, August 24-i:3O p. M-The
government has received a dispatch from
General Rios, Governor Of the Viseayas
Islands, and the successor Of General
Jaudenes in the gOvernOr-generalship Of
the Philippines, saying that there had
been bloody fighting between the Span
iards and the insurgents, with an esti-
mated loss to the latter of 500 men. The
Spanish losses were 'unimpOrtant."
The dispatch says that a number Of in
surgent chiefs were captured and shot.
A sergeant Of gendarmes who attempted
to incte rising against the authorities
barely escaped lynching at the hands Of
the popuace He was turned over to the
courts and shot.
General Rios adds that he has organized
six battalions Of natives and Span
iards, for the purpose Of resisting a
threatened invasion Of insurgents from
the Island of Luzon, and also a small
squadron to watch the coasts and rivers
OF Mindanao Island and the Viscayas.
The government is highly satisfied with
the services of General Rios.
