The official reports Of Acting Admiral
Sampson and Commodore Schley of the
battle off Santiago are just such papers as
were To be expected from sailors of their
quality and standing. There was no room
left either man for misrepresentation of the
part he or anybody else played in the en-
gagement, but had there BEEN neither
would have improved it. The battle took
place in broad daylight, with thousands of
eager eyes wide open and taking in every
detail There is perfect agreement as to
the leading features, and where there is
capacity for a just judgment, a just judg-
ment may easily be formed.
Acting Admiral SIMPSONS report is but
an elaboration of the bulletin ne displayed

In that he gave the location of the ships

attack and chase. and the circumstances Of
the enemy's destruction. He arrogated
nothing 10 himself He detracted nothing

this matter. But those critics. who, mas

Ponce the New Objective Point.

In all probability the next decisive news
from Gen. Miles in Porto Rico will relate
to an asss ult upon the city of Ponce, which
guards the great highway running across
the island to the capital. It,is not to be
expected that the American forces will suf-
fer even momentary repulse in this en-
terprise, for Ponce is not strongly fortified
or garrisoned. and the army ought to be
able to capture it easily. The ease of the
first landing at Guanica Monday evening
shows how feebIy the island is defended
save perhaps at San Juan, where the chief
engagement of the invasion is likely to oc-
eur unless peace negotiations should mean

gressions

Peace conditions may hinge largely upon
the state of affairs in the PhiIipptn.s
Manila, therefore, becomes once more an
beute center of international interest. with
especial reference to the question whether
at the cessation of hostilities Manila will
have been captured by the American
forces. In this connection it is interesting

Dewey's fighting force and the land forces

The Question of Peace.

SPANS overtures for peace come through
the properly accredited channel Her BUSH
ness at this capital is in the hands of the
French ambassador, who represents
friendly power. and is himself an accom-
pIisEed diplomat.
In effect Spain desires to know the terms
upon which the United States will consent
- the opening of negotiations. for peace.
In substance the implied question is, What
are the intentions Of the United States
with respect to those colonies of Spain
which the close of hostilities viii surely
leave at lis mercy or in Its possession?
This is what the lawyers call leading
question. Is the United States prepared at
this time. or will it be in the very i'm
mediate future. to answer that question
specifically and in detail while Spain is in
the attitude not of surrendering, but Of
sounding to our intentions?
A general answer nay be framed. Cuba
and Porto Rico and the Ladrone Islands
may be eliminated from the equation Their
fate is sealed. and has been from the first.
For Cuba. freedom; for Porto Rico. perma-
nent American possession; for the Ladrone
Islands. permanent coaling and naval priv
ileges for the United States. In the Phil
ippines a minimum of one or more naval
and cOaling stations viii be demanded.
But the exact conditions of peace Will be
affected by circumstances existing at the
time when cessation of hostilities is de-
clared. The indemnity to be exacted in
money or land will depend upon the date
of peace and upon the expenditure of SUBJ
stance and loss of life involved in conquer
ing Porto Rico and Manila, il they have by
that time surrendered.
The prospect Is not for an immediate ces-
sation of hostiities. The suspicion exists
that there is even more curiosity among
the European powers than in Spain con-
corning our intentions in the Philippines.
We may not fully disclose those Intentions
for the benefit of Europe until Spain is
pledged to peace on the general scheme of
conditions to be exacted by the United
States. And there viii be no armistice
til such pledges have been given. So even
II the negotiations proceed with due dill
gence the date of actual peace may be for
some time postponed
There are also details of the negotiations
which will consume time after the main
conditions have been agreed upon. Will
any attention be paid to the Spanish in
debtedness. representing almost entirely the
cost of suppressing revolutions, for which
Cuban and Porto Rican revenues have been
pledged? What guarantees, If any. con-
corning stability of government and secur-
ity of property in Independent Cuba will the
United States give? Is 1t to the interest of
the United States or is it under any obiiga-
tions to burden itself with responsibility
for the future government of the Philip
pines outside of its naval and coalins sta
tions in the islands?
The negotiations in tehalf of the United
States are conducted by the President, and
he may safely be trusted to so deal with
the difficult questions as they arise to
lest promote the honor and welfare of the
republic.

"GIory Enough for ALL"

The chief interest in the beated official
reports of the naval engagement of July 3.
resulting in the destruction of the Cervera
squadron. centers in the personal contro-
versy that has been aroused by the bicker-
ings of the friends of the two chief COM
manders at Santiago. There has at no time
been any good reason for this controversy.
The reports themselves do not justify 1t in
the least. These documents. read apart
from the personal Controversy, contain lit
tie that Is not now familiar to all readers
of newspapers. The dispositions of the
ships, the action of individuals and the cir
cumstances of the running fight and final
victory are all historical by this time. The
Star does not believe that the affair will
develop further along the lines of contro-
yersy. As early as the 18th of the present
month, as soon as the known facts seemed
to justify specific comment upon the sup
posed misunderstanding, II expressed itself
to the effect that there was glory enough
for all concerned in the battle, without go
ing to personalities in the effort to reap~a
harvest of praise and reward for one COM
mander at the expense of another. Those
sentiments have been so fully borne out by
the official reports. now made public, that
it is Interesting to note what was then
printed editorially in this paper, as follows:
There Is glory enough in the naval vic
tory at Santiago to go around. Every man
should have the credit which is due, with
out depreciating any one else.
The acting admiral in command of the
fleet. under whose general directions the
ships were stationed and instructed for the
purpose of preventing Cervera's escape,
cannot possibly be deprived of his share of
the credit for the brilliant achievements of
his ships, no matter how small his per-
sonal participation in these exploits.
The commodore who was the ranking
officer on the scene of actual battle who
was in command in the thick of the fight,
whose flagship was the target of the enc
my's concentrated fire, and who received
the surrender of the last of the enemy
ships cannot be denied very large slice of
Santiagos glory.
The men in command of the Warships of
the republic who responded promptly and
effectively to the enemy's challenge, and
who in the hurry of the unexpected en-
counter and chase Unanswered and fought
almost entirely on their own individual
Judgment, irrespective of admiral and COM
modore, are entitled to full credit for their
individual victories.
The brave men upon our ships are also
to be remembered, and especially the gun
perishable glory.
This is no time for spitfui backbitings
and Jealous wrangling among those whom
the republic and the world honor for the
wonderful victory of Santiago"

The evening paper gained additional
prestige as the dissemination of the news
of the day when 1t was enabled yesterday
to present TO its readers the facts Of Cen
eral Miles successful landing on Porto
Rico and of the opening of the Spanish suit
for peace. Had it not been for the action
of the Navy Department in holding back
the text of the Sampson report yesterdays
issue OF The Star would have completely
covered, as it ought, yesterdays news. The
American is not at ali disposed to wait un-
til tomorrow to learn of the happenings of
today. and the evening paper obviates the
necessity OF that delay.

Cuba Should Not Be Handed Over to
the Insurgents.

The cessation Of Spanish sovereignty
over Cuba is, of course. an indispensable
condition. The war was undertaken ex-
pressiy to effect this result. But this does
not imply that the island is to be handed
over 10 the Cuban insurgents Our gov
eminent has all along refused to recognize
the alleged government of the insurgents
in any way whatever, deeming the rebel
element unfit to conduct the administra-
ton of the country. The refusal to turn
Santiago over to the Cubans was in ac-
cordance with President McKinley's con-
viction that rights of person and property
would not be safe in the hands of the
rough element that constitutes the insur-
gent armies"

What Spain Must Do.

Our terms are simple enough. Spain must
take herself out of this hemisphere by CIV
ing up Porto Rico and Cuba to such govern
ance as We may elect. She must assent to
whatever arrangement we may dictate as
to the Philippines, the Ladrones, the Caro-
lines and the rest. She must pay, in money
or territory, whatever indemnity we may
see fit to exact for the necessity of carry
ing on the war
