FLUCTUATING STYLE
Of Administration Must Be Abandoned,
 Says London Times.

London, August 25.-The Times this morning says editorially
 ,t "If half the Cuban stories are true, it is no wonder that the Americans are dis gusted with the insurgents conduct. The insurgent leaders make a grave mistake if they imagine their conduct will go, un- punished. It may be troublesome busi- ness, but America, having put her hand to the plough, will not turn back"
 Discussing the rumor that Secretary of War Alger will take refuge in the senate to escape the responsibility for his blunders in the war office, and that Senator McMil- Ian will become ambassador in London, the article expresses the opinion that eff America becomes a colonizing power she will be compelled to abandon this fluctuat- ing style of administration in favor of trained civil and military administrators, not likely to change with each presidential change and not dependent upon politics for their selection and promotion. It will be equally important to cultivate permanence in diplomatic representation abroad
 The article then proceeds to deal with the suggestion of MT. White, for the Lon don embassy as worthy of careful consid- eration on the ground though there is no American tradition which points to Mr. White persona grata, as he is in English society and experienced in English ways as Colonel Hays successor"
