SENATE TO BE REPUBLICAN. There
is no mystery about republicans con
trolling the Senate after March 4, 1899.
Here are the facts: There will be 81
republicans bold-overs upon that
date, and, in luding the vacancy from
Oregon, there will be 81 new Senators,
take theri seats. Ohio and Maryland
have already elected republican Sena-
tors, and Maine, Vermont, end Oregon
have elected republican legislatures.
That makes 81 republicans. Connect
cut, Massachusetts, Michigan, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
and Wisconsin are absolutely certain
to elect republican legislatures. That
will make A republican Senators. To
get the other two Senators that will
be needed to make majority of the
Senate the republicans will only have
to elect majority of the legislature
in two of the following states: New
York, California, Indiana, Minnesota,
Delaware, Wyoming, North Dakota,
West Virginia, Washington, and
Nebraska, and it is regarded as we'll
nigh sure thing that at least six of
them will elect republican legislatures.

The TESTIMONY of Maj. Gen. Joseph
Wheeler before the Commission en-
gagged in investigating the conduct Of
the war was interesting, covering the
movements of the troops with whom
Gen. Wheeler served from their arrival
at Tampa, through the Santiago cam
paign, and at Camp Wikoff. He was
freely questioned by members of the
commission and freely answered,
never at any time showing the slight
est hesitation or disposition to evade.
He came pretty near to giving the
substance of all his two days testi-
mony when he said: "There were I'M
doubtedly individual cases of suffer
ing and of n glect, but they were the
exception"

Madrid, June 23.-More ado has been

THE PHILIPPINES.
Alleged Policy of the President az
Cohled to England.

London, June 23-The New York corre-
spondent of the Mail cables the views of
a prominent member of President Mckin-
ley's Cabinet on the policy of the United
States Government with regard to the
Philippines and Porto Rico. The informa-
ton was given in a private conversation
with a friend, as follows:
The policy of the Government with re-
gard to the Philippines has not yet been
decided on, and is causing considerable
anxiety to the President. who is opposed
to their permanent possession.
AT the same time 1t is considered un-
desirable to allow them to remain under
Spanish rule, for 1t is believed pubic
sentiment would condemn such course.
For myself I favored the retention of the
Philippines only so long after peace is es-
tablished as would enable the United
States to collect a suitable war indemnity
from the customs revenues. Then. If the
insurgents demonstrated their ability to
maintain a stable government, the United
States might recognize their independence.
II they failed. as most likely they would,
the islands might be sold. The President
and at least one member Of the Cabinet
are inclined to give England the prefer
ence."

Brave HObaOn'a Plight.

There is no longer any doubt that the
refusal of Spain to exchange Lieuten-
ant Hobson and the Merrimacs crew is
occasioning much anxiety for their safe
ty. This would not be so if we were
engaged in hostilities with any nation
accustomed to observing the rules of
civilized warfare; but the Spaniards
have always displayed such contempt
for anything of the kind, where they
dared to, that any act of cruelty or
treachery on their part would not ex-
cite surprise.
In the present instance, the friends:
and countrymen of the heroic men may
the Spanish government is hardly mad
enough to do anything at this juno
ture which would turn the indifference
of Europe into contempt and indigna-
ton. 1t is probable, therefore, that the
Spanish assertion that the prisoners
ment in the Moro Castle at Santiago is
a Spanish ruse de guerre, and that it
is not true Indeed, the British consul
at Santiago has reported that the pris-
oners were taken from Moro
Castle to the city on June I.
Sagasta, who is by no means
fool, must see that even the
medieval and barbarous method would
only further increase the opinion of
Christendom that Spain may have lost
the right to be regarded and treated as
q civilized state.

Mr. Chamberlain to Resign.

leadership of a large number of Unionists
in the House of Commons, who are dis

There seems to be no doubt that Mr.
Chamberlain is dissatisfied with his pres

remain in the cabinet to share in the ship

the extent to which this is credited shows
how little Mr.. Chamberlain can count

The Landing at Baiauiri,

Our joint naval and military opera

landing of Shafter's vanguard at Bal

fleet, the New Orleans, Texas, Cas-
tine, Wasp and Suwanee shelling the
vicinity in advance. A force of one
thousand Cubans under Gen. Castillo
had been transported to Sigua. fou,
miles east. from which point they
crept up to Baiquiri and occupied posi-
tions from which they commanded the
shore defenses. and sent a hailstorm of
Mauser bullets into the batteries. As
Gen. Shafter reports, there was very
little if any resistance" The Texas,
which was shelling the west battery
for some time, had one man killed. in
what manner is not stated. So far no
other casualties have been advised.
Tomorrow a force of Garcia's army.
numbering five thousand men, will be
carried from Acerraderos to Baiuuiri,
and by that time all the American
troops will be on shore and in condi-

vance upon Santiago will begin by way

United States gunboat Princeton. now
nearly ready for service. 1t is proposed
to give the vessel ships bell, inscribed
with a representation of old Nassau Hall,
and three clocks of handsome design. in
stead of the usual silver service. The
departure is happy one in the case of
the Princeton. as the famous Nassau bell
was rung at the battle of Princeton, and
is an historic relic worthy not only of the
university but of the whole country.
Princeton was the home of Commodore
Stockton, who figured prominently in the
naval battles of the Revolution 1t is un-

of the famous commodore and the ships

quotes from the piario de Barcelona, as

The reason why the government, after much
discussion has finally decided net to reielse Hob
son and his colleagues Of the Merrimac that
the result of their return to the United States
would be a popular demonstration. resulting in
strengthening the Jingo party, and. further that
from tile military standpoint they had seen the
fortifications Of Santiago, and it therefore
impossible to let them out One noted member of
the ministry has suggested that another question
similar to that of the Maine might arise if the
prisoners caught yellow fever and died.
The last sentence of the above para
graph is rather ominOus, and indeed it
would be a sorry day for Spain if such
a thing should happen after a refusal to
exchange. The remainder is nonsense.
We admit that there is no rule of war
compelling belligerents to exchange
prisoners. except where a general cartel
exists, and that is always vOidable On
even suspicion of bad faith. But II the
objection of the Spanish government
rests only on the grounds stated in the
-Diario de Barcelona, there s nothing IN
it. Lieutenant HobsOn and his men
could be released on parole, not to serve
against the enemy until regularly eX-
changed and under promise to remain
interned as the guests of a neutral
power on some vessel or in some port
under its control. A parole of honor
would prevent any of the prisoners
from making the least use of what they
might have learned while in the hands
of the enemy until after due exchange.
Sagasta's government will have to
find some better excuse to place itself
right before the opinion of Europe in
perpetrating this effense against the
decencies of war

We have been assured so often that
Cuba had been cut off from cable COM
munication with the outside world, only
to find Blanco in possession of ample
telegraph facilities thereafter, that we
have grown suspicious of such reports.
Perhaps the latest one may be true. AS
far as we know but one available line
has been open to the Spaniards for some
time: one connecting with Jamaica.
That. it is stated, was cut by the st.
Louis on Tuesday. In that case We are
privileged at least to weep for the lone
someness of our friend Blanco.
