The war was begun in the name
Of humanity, to save the lives of
perishing reconcentrados. and to
aid an American people to throw
off foreign yoke. 1t was so con
ducted rs to complete the blotting
out Of the reconcentrados, while
terminating the dominion of Spain
In the sentimental differentiation
with fallen enemy, there is n
tendency to contemptuous treat
ment Of an ally, who, il deficient
in Anglo-Saxon virtues, ia yet an
ally. For three years the Cubans
have fought for liberty against over
whelming odds. They have thrice
been decimated in the struggle.
Two and one-half years ago the
United States by overwhelming
vote Of senate and house recog-
nized the government of the Cuban
republic. II now it fails to come
into its inheritance, it will be be-
cause it has been conquered, not
by Spain, but by the United States
its professed ally. II Cubans are
actually incapable Of self-govern-
ment, the duty of the United States
is its misfortune. But If, upon any
pretext, the debt of Spain, incurred
to destroy the Cubans, shall be
fastened upon the people Of Cuba,
it will be to the eternal infamy Of
the great republic.--National Single

such q serious condition that the

fuses to make it public. The con.
troversy over the responsibility

the consequent unnecessary suffer

ago, continues. DIR. Sem places
the responsibility explicitly upon
Gen. Shafter and his chief quarter

to want Of cooperation on the
part Of Gen. Shafter, whereby the
medical officers were made power
less to carry out their instructions.

An enormous steel trust, repre-
senting $3.50, 600, 900 Of capital, has
been organized and will practically
control the entire steel output OF
this country. The New York World
declares that the is this logical re-
suit Of the situation. because our
manufactures are able to produce
iron and steel cheaper than they
can be turned out anywhere else in
the world. This is evidenced by
the fact that we exported last year
over $4,000, 900 worth Of these
products to Europe and to Central
and South American and Asiatic
markets in competition with Euro
pean manufactures. Still, to invite
just such . monopoly as is now
forming, our law imposes an aver
age duty Of 45 per cent on manu-
factures Of iron and steel. Is IL

------~ss ~
John Brisben Walker, editor Of
the Cosmopolitan magazine, has
written n trenchant letter to the
editor of the New York journal in
favor Of the application Of tho
American principle to the Philip
pine problem. lie says. "Sir-
In reply to your inquiry, permit
me to say that there seems to ,ne
one perfectly well defined principle
which justified the formation of
this government. This fundamen-
tal idea is that any people, "geo-
graphically separate" have n right
to govern themselves. And this
principle is treasured i'm the heart
Of every true American to-day just
ns strongly M ii was at the time OF
our Declaration Of Independence.
AS 1t applied to the thirteen colon
les in l77G, so it applies to tho
Philippine Islands and to Cuba To-
day. Having rescued these peoples
from Spanish misgovcrnmcnt, we
should see that they are given every
opportunity to establish republic
upon sound basis. More than
that we must not do. For us to
take upon ourselves tho govern
ment Of outlying colonies is only
to invite great expenses without
adequate return, and to furnish u
field for unscrupulous political al
venturers to enrich themselves by
misrule, the vitality Of our own ma.
tion being undermined by the cor
ruption funds which they would
bring back to prevent investigation
into their wrongs. The question
has only to be discussed to become
perfectly clear TO the mind of every
believer in our republic"

freight cars in Long Island Cit,
yesterday for Camp Wikotf. A
large part of the goods were spoiled
According to men who worked or
the loading of 1923 bags of oats
from lighters to cars ut the foot OF
Third street, the oats were useless
and not worth the cost of handling
them. They were moldy and musty
and smelled so badly that no horse
would eat them. They appeared to
have been weta some time and were
wet yesterday when they were load
cd into the cars.
At the same pier 40 large cans
Of beef were being loaded into the
ears. Some of these had been burst
open by rough handling and rough
usage, and the meat in the burst
cans had spoiled, but they had to
be loaded with the rest. The stencil
from the spoiled cans made the
longshore men sick. The oats and
also the meat, it is said, had been
to Cuba, on the Vigilancia, but were
unused and brought back.
Lighters in Newton creek were
yesterday unloading hay into freight
cars. The hay, like the oats, was
ruined 1t was ,nusty and mildew-
ed, and some of it, which had been
soaked continually, was decayed.
This hay had also been sent out on
one Of the troop ships and brought
back. The hay was covered with
filth. Apparently the men on the
ship had used the hay stored in the
hold as a sink. Oats. beef and hay,
bad as they are, 20 to Montauk.
