How do You Known

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan's anxiety
TO get to the front with his regiment
naturally sets one to thinking Il things
wouldn't be moving along ut swlfter
pace II he wero In the white house.
Register.
@l Mr.. Bryan's anxiety to get to the
front Is no greater than the anxiety OF
thousands Of other patriotic young men
who are not in command ot regiments,
and companies, but ore enlisted as
prtvates. As they have had about the
same amount of military experience and
knowledge of wars as Mr.. Bryan has
had, having. like him, been infants dur
Ing the last war. perhaps, also, using the
I Registers logic, each OF them, as Presl-
dent. might have had Spain eliminated
from the map by this time, without an
army, and with q navy crippled for lack
Of essentials necessary to O campaign,
all OF which and moro tho government
mas been providing as fast as the faclli-
Z ties, money and skill enable It to.

More Amusing than Harmful.

Spanish newspapers ore publishing
dispatches from Havana to the effect
that the Indians are rising against the
government in Ohio, Illinois, and other
parts of the wild west" and that the
whole country. except a small portion,
Is populated with rowing bands of saw
ages, who are burning towns and cities,
while the few whites who occupy the
country along the eastern shore (Atlan-
tic COAST are In terror.
Time was, some hundreds Of years
ago. when such description might
have aprpoximated that OF the condition
on this side Of the Atlantic. 1t might
have been cdncldent with the advent
Of Spanish eavages who butchered In
cold blood and burned at the stake the
occupants OF the countries in the south
which they conquered; but It Is not so
here In this day. while modern Spanish
savages, who have not progressed one
degree during centuries in methods OF
warfare. have been pursuing a similar
policy OF slaughter in the last Of their
possessions on the western hemisphere.
These attempts Of the Spanish press
to deceive the ignorant population OF,
Spain concerning the United States can
do the Spanish cause no good. 1t ex-
cites nothing but intense amusement on
the part OF all civilization. Imagine a
European power, at the end OF the Nine
tenth century, endorsing, or even sym
pathizing with the course OF the press Of
one OF Its sister nations that is either so
deep In ignorance concerning the great
est republic on the globe, or so STEPPED
In Infamy as % resort to such means
through its newspapers to bolster up
the courage Of an illiteratc and gullible
population In order to avert domestic
catastrophe.

Spain's Bankruptcy a Factor.

The financial condition Of spain,which
was poor long before the outbreak OF the
war, 10 rendered for more embarrassing,
IL not absolutely critical, by the condi.
ton In which the. Bank Of Spain finds
itself. It Is even though, by the flnan-
ciers OF Europe that the situation Is
such that the Spanish government may
yet be forced to a dlscontinuance of the
war. for the conduct OF which "slnews'
IRE as essential as men. ships. powder,
shot and coal, for without the "sinews"
these essentials cannot be obtained. In
this respect the condition Of Spain Is one
which leads toencouraglng things for this
country. The outlook on account Of the
reports concerning the Bank OF Spain Is
regarded as an important factor In the
war situation. scarcely less 60 than
news OF successful raids at the seat OF
war. on
The fact that Spain has about reached
the end of her financial resources, with
q credit already practically ruined, is
regarded by the government at Wash
ington as 50 significant that It may
foretell the sudden termination Of the
war. For this reason, some of the theo-
rlsts who are constituting for their own
satisfaction and the enlightenment Of
the public, construe the intention to seize
Puerto Rico as quickly as possible, as
based on the desire to acquire that prize
for the United States. 1t is important
that this should be done before. Spain,
under the financial stress, Is forced to
throw up her hands and give up Cuba
and sue for peace. Perhaps these war
theorists are right. Their reasoning
seems logical under the circumstances.
This financial condition means more
to Spain than the mere loss OF her terri
tory which has gotten her into so much
trouble. 1t means an augmenting Of
the troubles of domestic character,
which are growing more burdensome and
more critical each day. The people, even
In their ignorance, are beginning to
realize the weakness OF their govern
ment, the deceit and duplicity Of which
they have been made the victims, and
the generally tottering condition OF the
throne.

Actor kecns's Death.

In the death Of Thomas R. Keenc. the
tragedian, popular American actor,
one who won icsitlmately his way to
the front, has passed away. Kcenc was
not q great actor. but easily held the
high place he deserved IN the estimation
Of the public by conscientious work and
n genius which was far from ordinary.
When the term great Is used It Is no
reflection on the late actors well mcrited
reputation; It Is used simply1n compari-
son with the term as It is applied to the
great actors OF the past, who produced
the classic plays and followed the lines
of purely legitimate drama, which, un-
happily, seem now to hnve been tenn
porarily retired to give way TO the pass-
ing craze for tho less wholesome So
called vaudeville and the society play.

Schley's Splcndij Strategy,

;
The latest and what will be regarded
as an authentic report OF Commodore
Schley's bombardment Of the Spanish
Notifications at the entrance to Santa
go harbor on Tuesday, confirm the first
Associated Press dispatches which came
from Cape Hayden, and give the false
hood to the wildly exaggerated accounts
which came from Spanish sources.
tits now definitely known that Com
modore Schley's intention never was to
force an entrance TO the harbor, at that
time. that 1t was solely to ascertain the
location OF the Spanish batteries, and
unmask new Notifications with a view
to the later operations. He accomplish
ed this purpose by drawing the fire Of
the shore batteries, without receiving
single shot On one Of his vessels. He
did nore-he ascertained TO certainty
that the Spanish fleet, or at least the
greater portion of twas beyond doubt
penned in the harbor.
Y The entire manoeuvre reflected credit
upon Commodore Schley'sl excellent
Judgment and sagacity and maintained
I his reputation as an accomplished STRAIT;
5egist. Tho dispatches this morning dis
pei all doubts as to his. purpose, and
show that the Spanish claim OF having
driven OF the American squadron with
losses had no foundation in fact.
Commodore Schley vlndicatcd the
J wisdom OF the authority under whose
orders he was acting, and at the point
where he acted Upon his own judgment
entirely he indicated his wisdom by
exercising a discretion which stood him
! In such splendid need.
News OF later operations when the de-
tails are in will undoubtedly confirm the
estimate the public has already formed
OF the course that is being pursued with
reference to the efforts that are, being
made before Santiago, and when the
results are known It may be found that
q long step has been made IN the direc-
don Of bringing the war to close.
