AS TO CONDITIONS.
IN discussing the war question the
1arS Temps has this ia say.

IN discussing the war question III,
iafls Temps has this 10 say:
Spain has to choose between an ar
iaHstitieht with hard conditions at
tached ana absolute Bankruptcy More
o.e', ~ depends upon her to avert by
Dppprtune action grave international
complications. by which she will earn
the gratitude Of the civilized world.
Exactly; Spain must either consent
to accept what the Spaniards viii call
hard terms or else suffer humiliation.
1t took the United States two years to
get started. but now that she has I'M
deraken the Job it is safe to say that
there Will be no let up until Spain
goes down on its marrow bones ana
sues for peace. Naturally the only
terms upon which the American gov
eminent can agree to peace will seem
almost insufferable to Spain, but the
Dons should remember that they
brought the trouble upon themselves
in the face OF repeated warnings ana
in spite OF friendly advice of nearly
every important power in Europe OF
course. this is poor consolation, but it
is difficult to understand what can be
gained by further postponement of
peace negotiations. Every day the war
IS continued VIII increase the expense
of the war to the United States, a ma
teriAl- point that will be considered
I when the question of indemnity is
raised, and the resources OF Spain arc
decreased. Every sentiment of COM
mon sense and patriotism should die
tate peace on any terms that can be
secured.
We have no doubt that the American
government is ready to end the war
on Il fair basis q: any time. but the
longer hostiites continue the greater
must be its demand for recompense
when the settlement finally comes.
Courage and devotion in defending
n cause is commendable, but inability
to realize when one is soundy
thrashcd is one of the earmarks of a
fool.
Daily press. [volume] (Newport News, Va.) 1896-current, 1898-07-16

One important lesson of the war
With Spain is that properly construct
ed land batteries have little difficulty
in holding their own against naval YES
sells. In spite of the terrible pounding
OF the thirteen and eight inch shells
D and the hotlierso.ne cough Of the dy
Mantle cruiser Nesuvius. we are told
that the strategists believe it would BE-
dangerous to try to pass the batteries
at the entrance Of Santiago de Cuba.
If this means anything it means that
no matter how excellent warships may
De they cannot hope to cope with land
fort1lcations in their own special
sphere. II stands to reason therefore.
ina instead of spending all of his mon

some Of it in thick elnplacements and

Died of Discharged
Disease for Disabi lily
The Portland daily press., 1898-08-27

The Denver Post of last Sunday fur
nished half dozen letters from soldiers
in the volunteer regiments at Manila, land
in not single one of them was word
of complaint about the food, their living
accommodations, 1.-THE hospital service or
anything else except the weather which
they said was too hot for comfort and the
mosqnitos which they said were somewhat
troublesome. 1t looks as though we had
solved the problem of taking care Of
troops 10000 miles away, in foreign
country inhabited principally by bar
barians, better than of taking care OF
them right in our own midst. Perhaps
this is because the red tape Is not long
enough TO extend across the Pacific, Oh
baosuse there are some men at Manila
who do not hesitate to cut it when they
deem it necessary.
The Portland daily press., 1898-08-27

Gen. Thomas S. Morgan, late Indian
Commissioner, agrees with Senator For
aker that Providence led us to the Phil.
ippines, and that therefore we ought to
stay there. 1t can be affirmed with just
as much reason that Providence led US
fifty years ago to the city of Mexico, and
that therefore we ought to have stayed
there But we didn's. and both the
United States and Mexico have greatly
prospered sinoe. We doubt very much if
people today are much better qualified to
fathom the designs of Providence than
they were centuries ago, when they used
to get up so called holy wars under the
conviction that they were doing God ser
vice. The Lord has given men reason
and Judgment and free will, and IN.
doubtedly it was His intention that men
should use them and determine their
conduct by their exercise. 1t was the
exercise Of human reason and judg-
ment that sent Dewey to Manila. There
was nothing strange or miraculous or 40.
cidental about his appearance in Man lila
bay on that Sunday morning in May.
A Spanish fleet was there threatening our
commerce in the Pacific Dewey was sent
to destroy 1t. There was nothing
miraculous in his success He had better
ships, better guns, more expert gunners
and more intelligent sailors, and the re-
suits which usually follow when supe-
rior force meets an inferior one followed
in this case. What ground there is for
inferring that the sending of Dewey to
Manila was special interpretation Of
Divine Providence, when it was the
most natural thing for human reason to
send him there, or ground for inferring
that there was any special providence in
our sinking the Spanish ships by foros
greatly superior III every respect it
Is difficult to see. We shall
not avoid all mistakes 1t we use
our reason and judgment, our knowl-
edge and experience the best we know
how to. but we shall make vastly less
than if W. rely upon signs and wonders
or guesses at the intention of Providence
to guide us. We shall get altogether more
satisfaction from asking the Almighty
to illuminate our reason than from seek
ing after sign.

mALARlAL RAvAaEs IN THE SIXTIES
of our Maine Regiments Serving In
Louisiana.
(Bridgton News)


Old soldiers are amazed at the APPARENT
forgetfulness on the part of the masses
of the prevalence OF disease and death
among soldiers OF the sixties, as evinced
by the spirit with which they discuss
recent occurrences at Santiago and at
Chiokamauga as something wholly un.
precedented. Fearful and frightful s.are
the conditions there they do not ap-
proach those of some of our Maine regi-
ments In the war Of the rebellion. AT
least four Maine organizations spent
three successive summers in the malaria
infested swamps Of the Mississippi, going
directly from a winter in tents In !ce-olad
Maine, to the intense willing and depres-
sing heat and poisonous air Of louisiana
lowlanda What was the result? In those
four regiments thsre died of disease dur
ing their term of service nine hundred
and fsrty men; while eleven hundred and
nine others were permanently broken
down physically and discharged on ac..
count OF disability contracted because OF
these conditions. Besides these long-ser-
vice troops Maine had i've Infantry reH1-
ments serving In the same regions out Tor
period of nine months only. VI tnese
in their short term, besides seventy i've
killed and wounded, six hundred and
sixty popr fellows died OF disease while
two hundred and ninety were discharged
for disability and sent home, many OF
them, no doubt, 70 die on the way or In
some general hospital In which they found
refuge All through those hot, sultry,
summer days, even those who. wore we'll
were we'll nigh ovecome by heat-depres-
sion, and morning sick-call Of 30, 40
and 80 to the company, was about the
average diet. No one thought Of attach.
ing blame to commissary or quartermas-
ter for this situation; It was climatic and
the inevitable result of camp life under
tropical sun. And this, though to
much less extent, is about what has hap
pened to First Maine boys Id the Georgia
camp Of instruction. Bridgton News.
The Portland daily press., 1898-08-27
Died Of Discharged
Disease for Disabi lity.

The five nine months regiments went
directly from Maine to Port Hudson. In
nine months $50 of them were dead. and
| nearly half as many more were perma
nently disabled and discharged for disa
bility. The 23d, 25th and 9th regimen is,
which served the same time in regions
that were not malarial only lost % men,
or less than any one of the five regiments
serving in malarisl regions These ig.
ures show that the death rate among our
troops camred in the South during the
recent war was not only not exceptional
~ large. as many people think, but
below that which occurred in the war Of
the Rebellion. The contrast between the
death rate of the troops in malarial re-
gions and that in regions not maIarial
tends to show that now, as we'll as then,
1t is to malaria we must look for the
principal cause of the deaths and disabili-
ties that have occurred. The truth is that
the death rate from disease attracted more
attention in the recent war than is usual.
" the case in wars, because there was
little fighting, and public attention was
concentrated upon troops in the camps.
Then, as the News truly says, much more
publicity has been given to the details OF
this war than was the case with the war
of the Rebellion. Every camp has had a
my Rad of correspondents fitting about
it, and the average correspondent is
likely to dwell upon the things that go
wrong more than upon those that 60
right.
We present these facts, not to ex-
cuse or palliate shortcomings. of which
there have been many, no doubt, but to
correct the impression which seems to
have sprung up that there has been ex
traordinary sickness and mortality in the
recent war.

The personal Views of the peace commits.
sioners are not likely to count for grea,
deal because the probability is that they
will be definitely instructed as to the TO.
sition they are to take by the administra-
ton before they leave Washington. On
some minor points they may have some
discretion but the principal question at
issue-the fate Of the Philippines-will
tie settled in Washington and not In
Paris. Still the President would be like
" to select men whose views agreed pref

should confess the truth the vast majority

great military and raval power.
