They Seem 10 BE Afraid.

~ wO or three days ago a lively
press dispatch told Of ships in
our navy that were in full chase
after Blanco. a rumor having found
circulation in the vicinity of Havana
that this Spanish captain general had
made his exit from the city and was
in fight. The news service left some -
our ships I'm the chase-nothing has
since beep heard Of Blanco's flight or
about the pursuit Of him. Probably II
was all a ghost story.
For a time there was no accounting
for an item OF news received last night
and announcing hat Augusti had ar
lived at Hong Kong. on board a German
cruiser. The inference was that he had
fed: the wonder was that a German
warship had been placed at his service.
News received later in the night. with
bulletins about the fall Of Manila, cleared
the situation. Probably August was
paroled: evidently he was anxious TO
get away.
II appears TO be the fashion among
these fellows to take to their heels.
They seem not to care Ia venture any
chances. Cervera basks in the sun
light OF American hospitality; perhaps
Blanco and Augusta figure II out that
we feel under obligation to Cervera be
cause he gave our fleet an opportunity
TO gain glory, but that. at the hands
Of the American people, they have
nothing coming. However they figure
II. these men evidently do not care To
put our people to the test.
Meanwhile. II may be that his Span
ish captain general feared his own
Spaniards or the Aeuinaldo rebels more
than our people. Probably he felt that
the Manila region is an uncanny place
and that his safe course was to clear
out on the first boat going.

TUESDAY. AUGUST Is. 1875.
The Worst OF All.

~HEa astounding fact brought 20 the
worlds attention within a week
is that. manifestly. the regency
at Madrid is not at all concerned re-
specting the men who nave been fight
ing SPANS battles. Rather. the re-
gency's concern is lest they return
home in a hurry-they are not wanted
there; the home government is afraid
of its own.
When you think Of II, that is one Of
the toughest sequels a war ever had.
No welcome is preparing for the SOL
diers after the fighting they have done
under SPANS banners. AS for August.
II may be hat the queen regent and
the Sagasta cabinet will give him the
glad hand and hail him welcome-but
even that isn't likely. Their first effort
will be TO ascertain which faction he
proposes TO hook up with in the future
of Spanish politics.

ban debt: It is perfectly well under

mitted-since this country demanded no
indemnity-that the Cubans are TO have
Cuba free and clear Of all incumbrance.
The Cuban bonded debt is the product
Of three loans which have been hoated
at Intervals within the past dozen
years. The first OF the present out
standing bonds were issued in 1886: they
were designed TO taxi up an old float
ing debt incurred during the war that
began in 1868 and continued ten years.
This bonding process did not clean up.
however. all the debt Spain had in.
CURED on account Of Cuba. These were
six per cent bonds. They were a lien
on the Cuban customs. on all the rev.
enues Of the island and on the Spanish
treasury itself-thus Spain directly as
sumed responsibility for the debt.
In 1890 Spain made a FIVE per cent Gu
ban loan OF s175. 900, 900. As in all other
Instances, this loan was authorized by
the cortes. The plan was TO pay sS5.-
900, 900 OF floating debt ana then to con
vert into bonds AT fve per sent the for
mer six per cent issue. This conversion
never took place-the floating debt was
funded but the cortes ordered that the
balance, about $40. 900, 900. h used to
pay the expense OF putting down the
rebellion that had been progressing. A
third loan on account OF Cuba was
made, but, in security. the revenues and
Of Cuba were not pledged this
time: Spain took the responsibility al
rectly upon herself.

The closing incidents of the war are
in illustration on this score. Every
body remembers that, not long ago.
General Miles had come TO be recog-
nized by the very large part Of his
country's public as a has-been soldier
and a full-bloom martinez. Lately he
took personal command for the Porto
Rico campaign.
The war ends without giving Miles a
chance to show how to take San Juan
in style. Nevertheless, enough has
happened to put the details OF Gener-
al Miles campaigning in refreshing
contrast with the mass OF distressing
incidents in our experience before San
tiago. Miles evidently attended to
things: he didn't leave the ante-cam-
paign days to be filled with unavailing
excuses and ordinations and shifting
Of responsibility. in the effort to account
for the needless suffering OF soldiers or
the criminal lack OF preparation.
Doubtless Miles Is worth a dozen
Skaters. who was a favored officer
with a war department that has con-
spicuously demonstrated it's utter un-
fitness. Performance is all hat is ask
ed by his country's public. As far as
now is known none of the inexcusable
blunders Of Santiago were repeated on
Porto Rico. and the erstwhile critics OF
General Miles are according 10 him I'M

passengers registered, while the bach
