The Spectator, continuing, says it be-
lieves the Americans will '-gO on fight
ing with increasing energy and volume
OF sacrifice until they win and are able
TO dictate terms of peace to their an
tagOnist. They will repel all interfer-
cnce, whatever suffering or loss such a
result may Involve, and they will insist
on the great fleet and the skeleton Of
a powerful army being regarded as
part of the national machinery, no
more to be abolished than lighthouses
or Offices for paying the interest on the
national debt
SITUATION IN PHILIPPINES.
The Spectator also devotes consider
able attention to the Philippines.
where, it says: UNLESS both parties
keep their heads, and temper, there
will be shots exchanged between the
American and German ships. Both
sides may understand the position OF
a strictly neutral fleet, the weaker
thirsting to commit everybody so that
it may benefit by the confusion, and the
stronger irritated at having to provide
for a contingency it did not anticipate.
Admiral Dewey, for example, cannot
venture to exhaust or nearly exhaust
his supply of shells in bombarding Ma
rila-
With the Germans looking on when
the bombardment begins with German
officers at Cavite and German marines
at Manila and German cruisers in the
harbOr and a German prince among
them, Admiral Dewey will have a most
delicate part to play and playing a
delicate part when sailors are dying
and the reputation of nation is at
stake is not so easy.

DECLARES SALISBURY HAS
SAVED DEWEY'S FLEET.
Camara, It Thinks, Could Easily An

mans Indulge In Nasty filings
Against America.

London, July 1.-The unanimity with
which the English newspapers have
been praising the United States of late
is again disturbed by the snarling edi-
torial of the Morning Post, which
newspaper, in addition, prints a letter
protesting against Great Britain's
help to America" and declaring that
it should be known that at the critical
turning point in the struggle between
Spain and the United States it is Great
Britain that is influencing and deter
mining the issue.
The letter also declares that on Sun
day last in Washington, the day after
Colonel John Hays, the United States
ambassador, had had long interview
with the premier, the Marquis of Sal
isbury, Mr.. John Long, the American
secretary of the navy, boosted that
Admiral Camara's fleet would not be
allowed to pass through the canal.
If" the letter continues, "the posi-
ton of the American forces in the Pa
cific is considered of Importance, this
decision will at once become manifest.
Four unarmored cruisers lie in Ma
Mia bay, after two months of mac
tivity in tropical waters, and desper-
ately short of ammunition and coal.
In the meanwhile three small military
expeditions which left San Francisco
are struggling across. An active COM
mander with a force such as Admiral
Camara has would, of course, have the
whole American position in Manila at
his mercy. The government is aware
of this, and when it found threats OF
an immediate attack upon the Spanish
coast were unsuccessful, appealed to
the British to stop Camara's fleet"
GERMAN GROWLS
The special correspondent of the
Times in Berlin says that the angry
protests of the Cologne Gazette and
Lokal Anzeiger against Americas pre-
Stunning to dictate to Admiral Won Die
drichs (the German naval commander
at Manila), as to how he should act -
were called out by the statement made
by the Evening Post Of New York that
an agreement in regard to Admiral
Dierich's attitude had been reached at
a conference between Secretary Day
and DR.. Won Holleben, the German
ambassador at Washington.
The Cologne Gazette says: Admiral
Won Diedrichs requires no instructions
from Washington in regard to what
he is to do or leave undone. So long
as he does not interfere so as to Oh
struct or promote the enterprises OF
either of the belligerents. neither Adj
miral Dewey nor Secretary Sherman is
competent to give him any directions
whatever In like manner the German
government will not concern itself as
to the measures which Spain or Amer
lea may adopt for the maintenance OF
their interests in the Philippine is
lands

WIDENING OF THE WAR.

The Spectator prints an article,
which is likely to attract attention, on
the widening of the war in every d.
rection. during the course of which it
saws: Zone thing is very curious III
ali this matter and that is the scanty
evidence of American opinion which
reaches Europe. What do all these
quiet millions of working freeholders
and industrious citizens who live away
from the newspaper correspondents
think about the war? Are they aware
that their country stands at the part
ing of the ways; that her external pol
icy must be radically modified and that
it may occupy years, create national
debt and leave the United States with
a powerful army and the second fleet
in the world? Do they think of peace.
or have they made up their minds that
there shall be no peace until Spain begs
for it and surrenders her colonies?
Above all have they thought of the pos
sibility of the war extending ard what,
in that case. they will order their gov
eminent to do?''

tect the interests of his cOuntrvmen.
He would most energetically repel any
impertinent attempt to handle his af-
fairs. This is the proper answer to
the preSumptionS of the Yankee press
The Cologne Gazette says: Further
than that the phantoms of American
imaginatiOns are beginning to be posi-
lively ridiculous We have not the
slightest intention of exciting ourselves
over the perfidious Instructions against
Germany which the New York and
Washington press unfortunately adopt
from London. We leave that to the
course of events to make the Ameri-
cans ashamed of themselves and bring
them to reason
The correspondent of the Times says:
zone has only to ask intelligent and
Independent advocates. as well as Op-
ponents of German colonial expansion
here, in every class Of the community
and the answer invariably is that it
may be regarded as quite certain that
Germany will do her best to obtain a
footing on the island
VIGOROUS COMMENT.
Editorially the Times says: ''The
German newspapers are in a great
state of excitement because the Amer
leans venture to question the motives
of the extraordinary display OF Ger
man ships at Manila. Public opinion
in America on the other hand, is very
naturally aroused by the exceedingly
outspoken language coming from in
spired sources in Germany in regard TO
the proper aims of German policy in
the Philippines. Efforts are made to
explain away that language by pre-
tending it was used in the malicious
British press. This may do well Tor
the consumption of German readers,
but it will not impose for an instant
upon American intelligence. Apart
from the menaceS which, however, dis
avowed in words, find their concrete
embodiment in the German ships. the
American government cannot but be
aware that the official explanation OF
these ships being at Manila practic-
ally places America on the level with
Turkey. Were the Germans at war with
France and in possession Of French
colonial harbOr, with the intent to re-
duce a French town, and were America
TO send into that harbor a vessel under
the preteXt of protecting a hanGful OF
American subjects from outrage, we
have no doubt the world would ring
with German protests at the gross
breach of international courtesy if not
the rules of neutrality. 1t is true that
four British ships are now at Manila,
and that our commander-in-chlef al
Hongkong has power to send more ii
he deems necessary, but the Americans
know quite well the meaning of ouI
presence there is totally different from
anything that charity can assign as d
meaning of the German demonstration
in view not only of the semi ot1cla
and inspired utterances of the German
press, but the general German atti-

Homestead Rights of a Widow.

Mr. Justice Hughes delivered an opinion in the state supreme court in the case of Irene Duffy vs. Mary J. Harris, which is an interesting one, as 1t raises d new question in this state:
 This was an action of ejeetment brought by Mary J. Harris ys. Irene Duffy Mary Harris claimed the property as her homestead, as be- ing the widow of Dan Harris. The defense to her action was that she had deserted and abandoned her husband, Dan Harris, long be- fore his death and had relinquished her home stead rights by such assertion and by removing to Tennessee, where she continuously resided In adultery with another man
 In his opinion MT Justice Hughes quoted arUc e iX. section of the constitution relative to the homestead rights of widow and stated that 1t would seem this settled the controversy. He said, in addition: Mary Harris was never divorced from her husband and she was occasionally his widow. In some states 1t has been held that such facts would constitute an abandonment of her homestead rights, but in others the contrary doctrine is established. In this state it is held that the domtcile Of the wife follows that Of the husband, and we un- derstand this to be the rule, and that the fact that she abandoned her husband, and lives apart from him in another state will not form an exception, or cause her to forfeit her right to the ho mestead She Is not q nonresident while her husband is resident Her legal status, as to this, is governed by that of her husband. The husband owes the wife protec- tion and support as long as that relation ex- fsts between them, and the desertien of the wife could not alter her legal status. Harris was still her husband and the head of a family, and as long as that relation existed de jure, she was his wife and at his death was hIs widow, and entitled, under the constitution, to the right Of homestead.

Feared He Would Be Robbad.

$ s. Harris, farmer from Independ- ence, Mo, while passing through the Iron Mountain yards at Van Buren in car containing his household effects and some live stock, en route to Mount Vernon, Texas, committed suicide by shooting, dying instantly. It appears that Harris, while passing through the Indian Territory, became alarmed, fear ing he would be robbed of some s900 he had with him, and lost his reason. After the train reached the yards, the conductor started over the train to check it up, and casually looked in the car to see if Harris and his stock were all right. Harris, believing the con duetor to be robber, fired at him without effect and then turned the pistol on himself. His remains were shipped to Mount Vernon, Tex.
