that Santiago was surrendered without

New York. July PA special from
Madrid says: Spain begs for peace.
This has been done by solid cabinet
vote. After an all-night session the
ministers came to the unanimous con-

will seek terms Of the United States at

for the surrender of Santiago.

sion was unanimous. Captain General
Blanco, 1t is given out, will be empow-
cred to arrange the terms under which
the Spanish forces can withdraw from
Cuba.
Madrid, July H.-The papers an
nounce that the cabinet council was
occupied with the capitulation Of San
tiago de Cuba. Ministers expressed
surprise that General Toral had includ-
ed the whole military division Of the
province in the surrender, and Captain
General Blanco has been asked to send
details. When these have been re-
ceived the question of court-martial of
General Toral will be submitted.
The newspapers here say that coal
ition is being organized between the
different parties and against the gov
eminent on account of the suspension
or the constitution. The peace move
ment is losing ground and a newspaper
ventures the supposition that a British
squadron would prevent the American
squadron from passing the straits, but
the suggestion is regarded as improba-

Courage Wins.

Courage Is az much respected in a party
as in a man. The Democratic party Of New
York weakened itself fatally in the begin
ming OF the campaign and has shown the
same weakness throughout the campaign.
It did not dare to express its opinions as to
national issues. It did not dare to cay
whether It was for silver or gold, because
as one Of its deaf-mute candidates for Con-
gress said Of his own silence a. TO silver,
It was afraid to "alienate votes"
1t could have found no surer way OF alien
ating votes than not to say squarely what
it thought. Nobody has been really de-
ceived by it's refusal to deolare itself. Many
rave been disguised thereby. A party can
not get respect or confidence by showing
the white feather. 1t cannot win votes by
showing that votes are all it cares for.
The Democratic party OF New York has
tried to gain victory by the very policy
which insures defeat. The Republican
party Of New York has made a courageous
canvass under q courageous leader, and 1t
will win to-day because, among other rea-
sons, It has set forth its principles, and
every man who votes for IL knows that he
lie voting for those principles and not
blindly and for q mere name.

What the Protocol Says.

The Government has done well to make
public the exact language Of the Day-Cam-
bon protocol Of Aug. IL, because it disposes
Of any Spanish assumptions that In de-
handing all the Philippines we have virtu-
ally violated that protocol. Misled by
Spanish p%retentions, q part Of the European
press has talked of US as II we were q ma
ton Of footpads.
Article III. Of the protocol says that "the
United States will occupy and hold the city,
bay, and harbor Of Manila pending the con-
clusion Of a treaty Of peace which shall de-
termine the control, disposition, and gov
eminent OF the Philippines" That is abso-
lutely the only stipulation in regard to
these islands, and the only reference to
them in the document. How does 1t imply
that SPANS sovereignty over them is to
continue? With any such implication
there would have been no ground
for determining their future govern
ment by q subsequent peace. Any
disinterested person must admit that
there Is no more intlmation In the protocol
that the future government Of the Philip
pines would be Spanish than that 1t would
be American. The only provision for con-
trolling any part OF the islands is one in our
favor, while the historic fact is that, when
the protocol was signed, we held the seat Of
government Of the group under our guns.
and actually took possession of it before the
orders to supend hostilities and to makethe
protocol operative reached Manila.
Incidentally the publication OF the text
Of the protocol discloses the accuracy Of
the synopsis Of it originally made known;
but any disquieting thought that there
might be some phrase in it to bolster
up the Spanish view must now vanish.
There is nothing Of the sort there, nor has
Spain ever been able to trump up the slight
est evidence Of q tacit concession outside
the protocol that her sovereignty over the
Philippines should be conceded. It was left
for a treaty Of peace to decide what should
be done with the Philippines, and for per
fectly sound reasons We have found that 1t
is incumbent on US to keep them.

The French Breakdown.

That France would have to give up
Tashoda was evident from the moment
Lord SALISBURY put down his foot. The
point practically was settled when M.
DRLeAssE admitted to the British Ambas-
sador at Paris that there was no such thing
as a Marchand mission, and that the Major
was instructed to regard himself merely as
an "emissary OF civilization" The French
Government has shown Its excellent good
sense in resisting the wild clamor OF the
~chauvinists and yielding to the inevitable.
There is nothing dishonorable to French
pride in the surrender. Major MARYLAND
by being at Fashoda at all has
shown the world an example Of French
dash and courage which the English
have been the first to applaud. But
quite apart from political considerations,
his position clearly was u~ntenable. He was
practically the guest of the British Govern
ment. His provisions had run out and he
had to rely upon the Sirdar's generosity
for fOod and clothing. His force was ludi-
crously small and almost certainly would
have been wiped out by the Dervishes had
the battle of Omdurman been delayed one
week. No reinforcements could reach him
he wa cut off from all communication not
only with France but with the French pos
sessions on the Congo, and he was sur
rounded by a British force in whose hands
his 1oS men were helpless.
Under these circumstances there was moth
ing for him but to retire. His withdrawal.
however, does not end the matter. Lord
SALISBURY said In his recent speech that
the evacuation of Fashoda did not re-
move all causes OF controversy with France.
The inference Is that the French Govern
ment will demand some compensation for
its disavowal OF MARcHAND's expedition. 1t
is hard to see how such compensation can
be given. Great Britain's position all
along has been that the Nile Valley
belongs to Egypt, and that its tempo.
rary abandonment TO the Khalifa In
no way weakened the Egyptian title to
sovereignty. Up to 1898 no one admitted
this claim more readily than the French
themselves. The Fashoda question is
merely a part of the Nile Valley question,
and its settlement does not imply the set
clement of the major issue. Great Britain
will not be satisfied until France follows
Germany, Italy, and the Congo Free State
in recognizing Great Britain's right to con,
troll the Nile from source TO mouth, with its
adjacent provinces OF Darfur. Kordofan,
and Bahr-cl-G hazal, in Egyptis name.
1t is not at all likely that NJ. DELcAssE
will agree TO this view without a struggle.
Major MARcHASD's withdrawal can be ex-
planned and justified simply by the material

Ny critic. Mr.. Funk. and other Jealous Pro-

community on the prohibition line, setting
down Prohibitionists as the followers OF Christ
and all opponents Of prohibition as adherents
OF some other power. Most OF those who voted
against prohibition did 30 not because they
were friends OF the saloon or oven OF the use

convinced them that prohibition was worse

ries as to the prospects Of Tuesdays cleo
tions. They do not conceal their earnest
hope for Democratic success or substantial

No Spaniards wish for the success of the
Republican party or will do anything to aid
It. THEODORE ROOSEVELT can count on no
such allies. They are all for his opponent.
They hope that the majority Of American

sowed.

A Card from the Gaelic Society.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Two
weekly papers Of this city have recently been
devoting much Of their space to the circulation
Of the story that tho Hon. Joseph =. DAILY at
tended a dinner In honor Of Queen Victoria's
birthday. and have gone so far as to print quo
tations from the pro-British speech which.
they alleEe. he delivered there. and inasmuch
as this is not only a gross MISREPRESENTATION Of
Judge DAILY. but is calculated to place this 30
ciety. with which Judge Daly's name has long
been closely connected. In q false position be-
fore its friends. I trust you will give us the
opportunity to state that there is not one iota
OF truth In the statement. Judge Joseph r.
DAILY was not at the dinner in question, and
consequently could not have delivered any
speech there.
This society as such has no interest what
ever in the campaign. nor in any other political
matter. but we do not purpose to ALLOW q mis-
representation Of this kind to 60 uncontra-
dicted. WILLIAM J. BALFE. Secretary.

The people OF my race are bound to the Repub-
