PUBLIC OPINION.

the metropolitan editor sees; the
pulse by which he ascert aims the
pathologic condition of the body
polite; the ears through which he
hears the first rumb.ing notes of
public appreciation or disc ontent
and the mighty force by which he
commands the attention Of peasant
and potentate. In order to estab-
lish and maintain these perfectly
normal relations between city and
country newspapers and to bring
about the very best results of which
the system SO perfected is capable,
it is important that the heartiest CO.
operation between the two factors
should be secured. 1t was the OBJ
vious lack of this cooperation
which caused the Advocate to de-
plore the apparent absence of those
fraternal relations between the press
organizations of city and country
which must be the true basis of all
such cooperation. The press in
both city and country need to un-
derstand each other better and with
that accomplished the rest would be
easy. In no way can this under
standing be brought about more
effectively than through the agency
of the press organizations and it is
through these channels that efforts
should be concentrated.
St. Bernard Voice: Miami was
unheard Of before this war. 1t is
simply a large plantation, owned by
a multi millionaire, and possessed
not the slightest advantage for a
camp. 1t was covered with old
stumps and other obstacles, which
greatly impaired the convenience
and comfort of the soldiers, who
without compensation, to remove
the distractions and clean up
millionaire's property without any
cost to him. But the patriotic
who enlisted to fight for their coun-
try and not 10 dig up roots and
beautify a rich mans grounds, are
confronted with another matter, far
more serious and dangerous. They
have to drink impure water, and
run the chances Of contracting di-
sease and death. This is the re-
ward for their self sacrifice and
loyalty. 1t is nothing short Of
criminal to compel these troops to
remain at Miami. 1t is inhunan
and outrageous, and the military
authorities deserve something more
than censure. They are RESPONSE
Bile for the uneasiness, anguish, dis
tress and grief of many relatives.
Lake Charles Press: 1t is not
the intention of the law to
deal unjustly with the railroads,
but to equalize freight tariffs and
protect the railroads and people in
their legal rights, In fact, they
constitute a jury to try railroads
and shippers, and should be men Of
undoubted honor and integrity with
force of character and stability 20
stand by their decisions in the right,
even though the heavens fall. This
by its acts, will directly
influence the commercial interests
of the country, and should be COM
posed Of men with business interests
and experience.
St. Martinville Messenger: The
congressional campaign is beginning
to show some activity, and in
short while the candidates will be
out 1t looks as if the fight will be
between Broussard and Pharr. We
cannot see why the Republicans in
sist on going into a political fight
when they know, or ought to know,
they have not the least chance of
electing their candidate.

An Old idea.
Every day strengthens the belief Of emf.
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty five years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula of Browns Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
Browns Iron Bittezs is sold by Gil dealers.

Spanish Buster at the Philippines.

London.-A dispatch to a London
paper from Hong Kong says: Span
iards in Hong Kong and at Manila
openly boast that a fleet of war ships
is on the way to the Philippines, and
the bishops have issued pastorals to
the effect that Spain and God are
preparing to Cut out these social ex-
crescences from America The pas
torals urge the people to give no quar-
ter, and they assert that Admiral
Dewey's humanity in refusing to
lombard Manila is due to fear. At
the same time money is being spent
in bribing the interior leaders among
the insurgents.

tojoto Be Court MartlaIed ON Charge OF
Cowardice.
Hong Kong, China, May 2e.-There
are just two weeks provisions in
Manila.
The people are beginning to realize
their desperate situation and they
know that the reinforcements sent to
Dewey will arrive there before any
fleet despatched from Cadiz by way
of the Suez canal can possibly reach
the PHILIPPINES. They are desperate.
The supply of meat is exhausted and
even canned goods are running short.
The volunteers have demanded food
as part of the price of their service
of Spain, but the authorities have re-
fused to open the public storehouses
to the troops and mutiny has resulted.
Riots are probable and a delegation
will wait on United States Consul VIII
liams to insure protection.
Chief Aguinaldo, who was de-
spatched by Consul Williams to the
aid of Rear Admiral Dewey, mas ar
rived here with the insurgenC forces
He is expected to render substantial
aid The insurgents control the sur
rounding country. The arrival of the
American troops is nevertheless await
ed with anxiety.
Foreign residents are moving their
families and furniture from Cayite
in expectation of a possible further
cannonading.
In the previous bombardment, ac-
cording to the Spanish reports, five
hundred were killed and seven hun
dred wounded.
Horse meat has become a staple
article in Manila. None but the
wealthy can afford to buy beef, which
now sells for 81 a pound. Potatoes
are sold by weight at 80 cents a
pound.
Admiral Dewey has given Gen.
Aguinaldo two field pieces and 500
Mauser rifles. The insurgents are
greatly encouraged.
1t is reported here that the captain
of the Spanish revenue cutter Callao,
which was captured by Deweys feet,
will be shot for not returning the fire
of the American warships, and that
Admiral Montojo will be eourt-mar-
tailed on a charge of cowardice.
All are well on board the ships of
the feet.

TO SMASH THE ENEMY.
Three Important Points to Be
Attacked By Our Troops
and Warships.
THE NEW WAR POLICY.
Army and Navy Viii Take the Of
fensive and Force Spain to Sue
for an Early Peace. .
THE NEW WAR POLICY.

Spanish Fleet to BE Destroyed and Armies
Sent without Delay to Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines-The Plans Indicate
the Determination of the President to
Adopt the Most Aggressive Means toWmd
Up the War.
Washington, May 26.-President Nc
Kinley has. finally and firmly estab-
lished the war policy of the Govern
ment
The general scope of the new policy
was developed to-day when the Presi-
dent directed the enlargement of the
land force of the nation to more than
quarter of million fighting men
and issued orders for the future
guidance of the commanders of Do,n
land and naval forces, the details Of
which for obvious reasons cannot be
disclosed. 1t can be stated in a gen.
eral way, however, that the pro-
gram of the administration cOntem-
plates these operations:
/. The destruction of the Spanish
war fleet in Cuban waters, or any
other fleet Spain may send over to
fight.
2 The invasion of Cuba and Porto
Rico as soon as the way has been
made clear for the safe transport Of
American troops to those islands
8. The occupation of the Philip
pines by an army three times as great
as that first intended for that service.
. 4. The adoption of offensive meas
ures in both Cuba and Porto Rico and
the unrelenting prosecution of the war
until the Spanish government has re-
called its armed forces or the Alneri-
can troops have driven them out or
destroyed them.
5. The ending of the war before the
end of summer.
The plans indicate in the most I'M
mistakable manner the determination
of the President to adopt the most
aggressive means that a great army
and efficient naval force can inau-
gurate. All plans are in a measure
contingent upon the operations of the
fleets. News of an engagement is
momentarily expected. The President
expects Admiral Sampson to obey his
instructions to find and destroy the
Spanish fleet. He tonight expressed
the belief that meeting is bound to
take place soon.
Il guess we will hear from Sampson
soon,' he said to one of mis- advisers.
IF the Spanish admiral We're in San
tiago Bay we should have known the
result by this time. The only way l
can explain the silence of Sampson
is that he wants to finish his work
before reporting to the Department. :"

the night of Miss Cisneros' rescue from the

work To Carbonel was intrusted the duty
and privilege Of accompanying the girl to
New York. Companionship between the
two natives of common cline soon
ripened into love, and the usual details of
courtship followed.

Spanish Fire on a Brltlsh collier.

Fort de France, Martinique. The Span
ish gunboat Isabel IL has fired shot into
the hull Of the British steamer Roth, laden
with coal, in the harbor of San Juan. This
was done to disable her SO she could not
leave portu1til her cargo was discharged.
The Spaniards allege the shot was fired ac-
cidentally. An American cruiser captured
Spanish bark six miles off San Juan on
Saturday, and is taking it north in tow.
