ticle from the semi-inspired Independence
Tonkinoise. published at the time Manila
surrendered, makes interesting reading. The
translation is strictly correct:
The IIavas agency brings us a piece. Of
news pregnant with perils and with terrible
consequences for the future. II is unfortu-
nately certain that, in spite of all their
courage, all their energetic resistance, the
Spaniaras VII, not succeed IN reslsnng the me

the first signal If Manila capitulate that
is in reality that the PHILIPPINES are about
to pass under the dominion of the United
States. The European nations having in
terests in the far East are about to have
the harassing and dangerous neighborship
of the Republic of the United States, whom
this easy success is Intoxicating, and who
will endeavor to aggrandize her territory
beyond the seas, in order to become a
colonial power. Our possessions in the An
titles will soon excite their covetousness;
then ii viii be the turn Of other colonies.
Appetite comes by eating 0appetit Went en-

which the United States have declared is a

The duty of all the European powers is to

North America. Our alliance with Russia

we should march together against the

Reading between the lines of this mixture
of stupidity, whining and abuse it is easy
to perceive that something is. brewing. 1t is
not only that Dewey's victory arrested the
despoiling of decrepit China by France and
Russia, the former of whom is the fool,
while Russia is the knave. The Cars gov
eminent is inventing some scheme to inter-

If the United States decides to hold the
Philippines the struggle of the century will
commence.

THE WAR IN BRIEF.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press,
Events have moved rapidly during
she past few months,more rapidly thar
at any time in American history. ALd
if Spain, as reported, is now ready to
consent to terms OF peace, the nation
con look back upon an unparalleled
record. Victory has followed victory
so rapidly that it is necessary to recall
the leading occurrences to realize fully
what has been done. Here is brief
recapitulation:
April 22-War was begun by a
blockade of the ports of Cuba.
May 1-Commodore Dewey attacked
and sunk the Spanish fleet in the har-
Dor of Manila,
May 24-Commodore Schley's squad
ron blockaded Admiral Cerveras fleet
feet in Santiago harbor.
June 2O-Gen. Skaters army an
rived of Santiago.
July l and 1.-The American troops
attacked the Spanish, drove them into
Santiago, and captured FL Cansy and
San Juan.
July 3-Admiral Cervera male a.
dash out Of Santiago hsrbor and every
one of his ships was sunk.
July 14-Gen. Toral surrendered
Santiago, the eastern end of the Island
Of Cuba, and $4,000 Spanish prisoners.
July 26-First landing of United
States troops made in Porto Rico at
Guanica.
August 6-Spain reported to have
accepted terms of peace and the war
comes to an end.
This is wonderful record to make
in 1O7 days. Considered in connec-
ton with the unpreparedness Of the
country for war it is a record no intel
ligent man could have anticipated.
With the lessons learned in this war as
to the need Of keeping a larger aud
better equipped army and a navy
adequate to the needs Of the country,
and the demonstration given of the
warlike spirit Of the nation, there is
little probability that any foreign
power will have the temerity to attack
Us. So much for making the war
,hor3 sharp, and decisive.

"In 1926 the Ten Commandments
were adopted as the law of the land"
This is written of the Sandwich Islands,
and tits being true we must confess
Hawaii comes to us with system of
laws we Can't hope to improve on. If
the people Of those twelve islands, of
which our ewlyacquired territory lying
in the North Pacific ocean is composed,
live up to the demands of their laws,
the wonder is that they have not been
sending out missionaries to America
and to England. Burn up all other
laws of lands and let the Ten Com
mandments become the laws of univer-
sal application and imperialism with all
other pernicious issues will surely die
out of human history. Land grabbing
was never inspired by the Deca!ogue.
For those who are so hurried that they
cannot find time for reading much law,
we might put it in nutshell and say,
EDO unto others as you would have
them do unto you
