LII TIE PHILIPPINES.

Spain appears to have acceded finally
to the terms of the peace protocol, so
far as they relate to Cuba, Porto Rico
and the island of Guam in the La
drones. The question of the assumption
of the Cuban debt appears to have been
dehnitively settled against her, as it
should be, and there remains only the
disposition of the Philippines to be de-
termined by the negotiators in Paris
The assertion is now made with much
positiveness by conservative Washing
ton correspondents, that no other dis
position is possible, save the transfer of
the entire Philippine group to the
United States, and that that is what
the American commissioners will de-
mand. For some weeks the indications
have been pointing strongly that way,
and if the issue actually comes to this,
it cannot excite surprise, whatever
other emotions may be aroused. The
plan Of taking Luzon alone was dis
credited some time ago.
1t is needless here to discuss the ad-
vantages and disadvantages of such a
settlement. 1t is enough to say that the
responsibility rests with a republican
president in whom the people have
manifested extraordinary confidence,
and it will be time to decide how he has
discharged that responsibility, when
the facts now before him and his com
missioners are given to the public
This may also be said: Gov. Long has
publicly added his testimony to
the fact that this war was
not begun for conquest, AMI
there are few honest and intelli-
gent Americans who believe it was be-
gun for any such selfish purpose. When
Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in
Manila bay, the far-reaching conse-
quences of that victory were foreseen
but dimly if at all. The war has brought
about results that were not in contem-
plation, and a republican president has
been brought face to face with prob
lens which were beyond his ken when
congress declared war However, he
may solve them, it will be but the mer-
est justice to believe that he has acted
both conscientiously and wisely, at
least until the reverse has been proved.

OFFENSIVE CUBAN D1SrRUsE.

Havana dispatches say that Spanish
soldiers have at last come to realize
that the money sent by their govern
ment to pay them has been stolen by
the officers, and are on the point of in
surrection. This is, after all, an, old
story, but 1t has a bearing upon another
matter of consequences Cubans have
been so long and so Professionally
cheated and robbed by those in author
fly over them, that they have lost the
fundamental faith in human nature.
and regard every stranger with sus-
pioion. This has been one of the most
exasperating experiences of our mon in
Cuba
Acts of conspicuous kindness, propo-
sitions of the utmost and Transparent
frankness are received not with graft
tude. but with open dtetrast, as If the
would-be benefactor were seeking to
defraud and abuse the beneficiary. Not
infrequsntly, this results in accusation
and insult, which are especially hard
for the benevolent stranger to bear.
Unfortunately, this offensive attitude
is not characteristic of individuals but
of the Cubans as a people, and it is
manifested not only towards individual
Americans, but towards the American
government and people.
Some of the more reputable leaders
have striyen to overcome this feeling.
but the very earnestness of their efforts
has only made the disagreeable fact
more patent. III evidences the low moral
status of large proportion of the Gu
ban population, and constitutes one of
the most embarrassing factors in the
administration of affairs.
When the subjects start with deem
rooted and habitual suspicion of The
rulers, when the most benefcent and
honest plans are treated as the designs
of robbers and oppressors. 1t is clear
that tact and patience as well as firm
ness will be prime requisites to a suc-
cessful administration in Cuba. even If
our responsibility nominaIly does nor
exceed that of setting up the people
themselves in government.

FENCING HER IN.
Boston and Maine Road Must Answer
Equity Proceedings of Anna A. Martin.

Gquity rIoCeeulngS OF anna a. Martin.
Anna A. Martin, proprietor of the
Summit house, claims that the Boston
& Maine Railroad Company is fencing
her in, as shown in bill in equity
which she filed through her counsel,
James F. McCFovern and William I.
Mclaughlin. in the superior court yes
terday
She alleges that the railroad is build
ing fence for about 40 feet across her
property at the Summit house, which
deprives her of egress from her house
by the old road which has extended to
her house. By reason of this alleged
condition she asks to have the railroad
company restrained from continuing
the erection of the fence, as she believes
that 1t will cause her removal from her
property, injury to her business and
damage the property itself
Her counsel asked Judge Bond to
grant a temporary injunction restrain
ing the road from it's fence building, but
the court declined, agreeing, however.

parties could be heard on the matter

George Fred Williams complains be-
cause the republicans have taken no
notice of the mares nest which he has
discovered in Secretary Cages banking
bill, which was reported to the house at
the last session of congress. Exception
may be taken, without regard to party,
to certain provisions of that
bill; but its main purpose (the
separation of the currency de-
partment of the treasury from the
fiscal department, and the relief Of the
treasury from the redemption of notes)
is opposed by almost nobody save the
silverites. Mr.. Williams argument is
based upon the old silver theories,
conspicuous among which is of course
a. Conspiracy of Wall street and Lom-
bard street to get control of the Amer
lean currency system. Reduced to its
lowest terms, it is the same old gag
of 1896, the same old straw that was
threshed out with completeness, when

Plant Bought
by Bowden.
NEW FELT FACTORY
To Enliven the Business Of
Millbury.

In the law Office of Thomas H. sulli-
van, ESQ, in the State Mutual building
yesterday, the final papers were signed
for the transfer of the we'll known man
ufacturing plant of the late Charles H.
Morse of Millbury, and the Inhabitants
of that town, who have long hoped for
q revival in its manufacturing indus
tries bid fair to have their hopes real
lied, and they will read with intense
pleasure the announcement this morn
| ing that the town is to have new
manufacturing business Of large capa-
city, employing Millbury people in all
It's departments.
II. L Bowden s. Co, Of Boston, one
Of the best known joibbers in felt goods
in the United States. have purchased
the plant, comprising about $4,000
square feet of floor space The building
is practically new, being built by Chas
H. Morse for his business previous to
his failure. The new concern comes into
the control of the property with large
active capital and a vast amount of ex-
perience in the felt business.
Mr.. H. L. Bowden, the new owner Of
the plant, was seen early yesterday
evening, and chatted pleasantly of the
prospects, He said that he should equip
the plant with from $4,000 to $35, 900
worth Of new machinery such as will be
required in felt manufacture. Mr.. Bow
den said that he was pleased with the
location of the plant in Milibury, thu
building being of large size, and al
though not having been Immediately in
use, yet being in excellent condition,
He should employ Millbury people in
preference to outsiders.
Mr.. Bowden will not confine himself
to the manufacture of one line of felts
but win produce all kinds of felting
for all kinds OF business. He expects to
have the plant running within two or
three weeks.
The building was bought directly by
Mr. Bowden from Thomas H. Sullivan
and Charles Baker assignee of the
Charles H. Morse Manufacturing Co,
the purchase price being understood to
be in the vicinity of $4,000

A protectorate would relieve England
from variety of annoyances in Egypt.
and whether the time is now ripe for
such move or not there is good rea-
son to suppose that it must have been
considered. For one thing, a protector
ate would reduce the khedive, Abbas
Pacha, to a condition of innocuous
desuetude. The real ruler of Egypt. to
be sure. is that astute British diplomat
list and executive, Lord Cronier, but the
nominal position of the khedive affords
opportunities for "pernicious activity
and offensive craftsmanship that are
frequently vexatious to British states
men. Furthermore under a protector
ate, England would always know ex-
actly where she is at in relation to the
other great powers. She would let
