INTELLIGENT Soldiers

On the street cars, which in Tampa go
as they do in Boston, with overhead trolley
wires, considerations Of rank in great part
disappear Private soldiers sit on the same
seats with colonies. They salute the
colonies and the colonies salute them. They
talk and laugh over the officers heads; the
officers smile and all goes democratically
and merrily. l confess to establishment at
the character and composition of the regu-
lar army. An English correspondent here
who has seen all the armies of Europe tells
me that these private soldiers are more
intelligent than the officers of the Spanish
army. They seem to be Americans,
though thousands of them have Irish
names, and quite often a soldier speaks
with German accent. I met handsome
young soldier-really a regular Apollo Bel
videre of a fellow Ono doubt you can I'M
agine the Apollo Belvidere in SLOUGH hat
dark-blue shirt, light-blue trousers bro
gans and brown canvas leggings) who
said he was from Boston, and he was very
happy when l told him l was also from
Boston, His name was an Irish one of
course-and he was Il gentleman. if he was
common soldier. He had a Cuban flag
on his hat. / noticed, by the way, in the
camp of the Sixth regiment today 4 very
large Cuban flag floating from a pole inn
provlsed by cutting the branches off 4
tree. And yet the poor Cuban regiment
here Is treated with contempt.-Tampa let

Pomona Budget

POMONA, June i.-There was not as
large an attendance at the called meeting
to decide on the question of celebrating the
Fourth Of JULY as was expected. 1t was
the unanimous sentiment that this year, of
all years, Pomona should celebrate In a
fitting manner the anniversary Of this ma
TONS independence Frank Balfour was
elected chairman and s. M. Haskell seere-
tary. The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted, Resolved That is the
sense of this meeting that Pomona have a
celebration on the Fourth of july" The
chair was authorized to appoint an execu-
tive committee with full power to act. The
following finance committee was appointed:
w. H. Poston, Walter A. Lewis, U. e.
White and Sidney NJ Haskell. The general
sentiment was for regular old-time cele-
bration, leaving out the usual parade.
The Fraternal Brotherhood lodge, No. 26
at Its regular meeting last night reelected
M. J. Simpson president and F. w. Balfour
secretary The other officers were nearly
all reelected.

FEW BOOTS NOW
Once Very Common, Their Place Has
Been Taken by Shoes

"When I was a boy" said the middle
aged man, pretty much everybody used
to wear boots--I did, 1 know, fine calfskin
boots. Now nobody wears boots, except
horsemen and farmers; that is, practically
nobody; you do meet man In the city now
and then that wears boots but such men
are SO few that they don't count
1--WE turned from boots to congress gal
tiers, once almost universally worn, and
there's quite lot of congress CATERS worn
still. You look along the rows of feet of
the men sitting in an elevated car and you
are pretty likely to see one or more pairs
of them, but button shoes and lace shoes
finally in very large measure, supplanted
the congress CATERS, and they remain the
shoes commonly worn today.
"And we shall stick to shoes of one sort
and another. We shan't go back to boots,
for various reasons. In the first place, we
don't need them. In cities they are not
necessary for protection, nor are they es-
sential for comfort. Shoes are now more
suitable for wear at centers of population
besides being more convenient and cheaper.
$50 in populated regions, for the wear
of the great majority of men, we have got
through with boots. 1t is another illustra-
ton of how easily even long-established
customs vanish when conditions change

OUR FRIENDLIEST NEIGHBoR
England Thinks United States May Be
Forced to Annex Cuba

At the present rnument, at any rate
there is the best reason for believing that
neither President Mckinley himself, nor
the great republic in whose name he
speaks and acts, has any desire to annex
Spanish territory. 1t Is not, Of course,
sheer disinterestcdnes Which Is re-
|sponsible for this reluctance. Fortune
and the wisdom of the founders of the
United States have kept America out
side the troubled sphere Of European poll
tics. The Monroe doctrine, If it barred
inlet, also excludes exit. Within the
vast limits of the western hemisphere th.,
United States has elbow room enough to
spare. Annexation Of Cuba, and still
more the absorption of the Philippine
islands, would Inevitably draw America
within the vortex of those old world
rivalries from which. happily for her
self, she is exempt. Self interest as well
as the solemn pledges of congress, prevent
America from senking territorial aggran-
dispsnent. These considerations, how
ever are subject to modification. A pro-
longation Of the struggle may exact sac
rifices from the United States for
which President Mckinley will be justl-
fled in demanding an indemnity. Spain,
at the close Of an exhausting war, will be
in no position to pay cash; the alterna-
tive will he an indefinite occupation by
America of the Philippines as we'll as of
Cuba. We know from experience what
that means. When the British govern
ment interviewed to suppress the revolt
Of Arab, not a member Of the cabinet
supposed that our occupation of Egypt
would last more than twelve months.
That was fifteen years ago, and we are
still in possession, and are likely to re-
main there for a period, the duration of
which no man can forecast. Ann.xa ton
Is sometimes thrust upon nations, as
greatness Is upon individuals. America
may quite sincerely repudiate territorial

cupidity today and be forced to crafty it
tomorrow. Spain, therefore, If her rulers
are wise, will agree speedily with her ad-
versary. Her honor remains untarnish-
ed, and with Spaniards that is the first
consideration. Should Senior Sagasta
communicate to the powers, or to some or
any Of them, the determination Of the
monarchy to accept the situation, and to
bow to memorable facts, we do not be-
lieve that the United States would seek
to drive a hard bargain. There must,
however, be no misunderstanding so far
as this country is concerned. Lord Sails
bury would certainly not consent to be
intermediary, in the sense of suggesting
terms to America which Mr. Mckinley
would be unlikely to accept. Some Euro
pean powers are nightly indignant with
this country for the open sympathy dis
played towards our kith and kin. Fa-
miliarity, however, with the displeasure
of the continent has bred certain meas
ure of contempt. We honestly rejoice
In the Improvement of our relations with
the states, and there is no reason for dis
guisng our satisfaction. Merchants and
manufacturers met on Wednesday at the
New York board of trade and passed,
amongst others, the following resolution:
That we are firmly resolved that the
blessings of peace, of uninterrupted COM
inerce, can best be secured through the
friendly corporation of the Anglo-Saxon
race in all its branches, whose aims have
ever been towards the development of the
material wealth of the world, for the
peaceful uses of the peoples of the world.
Those are the sentiments of the parent
stem of the Anglo-Saxon race, and if they

THE PRICE OF ROLLS
What Two Cents More Dozen Means

II have been reading for quite SPELL"
said householder, 'about the rise in the
price Of wheat, and this morning began to
realize 1t. found at the bakers that the
price OF the loaf of bread commonly sold
at cents had been raised to G, and that
rolls commonly sold at 10 cents dozen
had been raised to u.
"A cent more for loaf of bread or two
cents more for dozen rolls doesn't seem
very much, and it really isn't, but when
we come to take into account the number Of
people that buy bread, it will be seen that
1t amounts to a good deal. Reducing all
the bread and rolls eaten in Greater New
York to rolls, and allowing one as the daily
consumption of each inhabitant, which
would probably be much below the actual,
we should have daily consumption of
100000 dozen rolls, which at 10 cents dozen
would be 100000. If we add two cents a
dozen to the price of the rolls we get for
them $4,000, or $1,000 a day more, or upward
of $20O0,000 year more as result of add
Ing one cent to the price of a 5-cent loaf
and two cents to the price Of dozen rolls"

SPANS Fleet Cruising Anywhere and
Everywhere Except at Santiago

NEW YORK, June ia special to the
Times from Washington says:
New reports of the approach Of Spanish
vessels to the coast of the United States and
the futter of concern the reports cause,
serve to increase the interest of the naval
war board in the plan Of Assistant Secreta-
~ Roosevelt, now for many weeks laid on
the shelf, to make dash at the Canaries
and the Spanish coast by way of interest,"
Ing and occupying the Spanish people with
their own affairs
There are some differences of opinion
among those who direct the operations of
naval vessels concerning the practical lity
and effectiveness of a raid on the Spanish
coast. 1t is believed by those who have
looked at the matter carefully that the
moral effect of such demonstration would
be to terrfy people who live on the shores
Of Spain and would serve to bring the Span
ish to terms earlier than If the forces of
the United States were not SO employed
An objection urged in the navy depart
ment against the immediate dispatch Of a
fleet to Spain Is that 1t would bring the war
to close before the administration could
complete some Of the work 1t has cut out
It is desired that the occupation Of the
Philippines shall be completed and Puerto
Rico gained before Spain sues for peace
If those undertakings are to he rounded out
before Spain is to be visited, 1t might not
be before August that the fast vessels of

knock at the doors of Cadiz or to sail into

CALIFORNIA OPINION
3 The Silver Seigniorage

The dispatches say the government has
purchased 100000 Mexican dollars for use
in the Philippines. The government pur-
chased those dollars, of course, on a bullion
basis, and the price reported is $116 ,OOt
American money. But why should not tho
government set the minis to work coming
the forty odd millions of silver seigniorag e
held in the treasury? That would clearly
be the sensible thing to do, but of course
there are reasons against 1t. One reason
is that 1t would run counter to the gold
ideas of the present secretary of the treas
ury. However, his gold ideas are certain
to Ee very much upset before this war is
over and its debts are all paid.-San Diego

Naval officers also admit that the Spanish
government could quiet good deal Of the
talk about this proposed dash to Spain by
permitting two real ships to run over toward
this side Of the ocean and just show the
Spanish flag out of range Of American bat

make 1t apparent that the American under
