Secretary Algers order to remove
General Skaters army into the hills
north Of the city of Santiago has been
met by a Round Robin signed by all
the brigade commanders, declaring that
to obey the order means the destruc-
tion of the army: that, in fact, it would
be criminal to attempt to move the
men, sick and enfeebled as they are by
malarial fever. They add that the only
movement the army should or can make
is one to the transports for passage to
the United States, and that if such a
move is not made at once the army
will never move more. This Round
Robin will create CONSERVATION in the
country. The people have not dreamed
that the conditions are what they are
represented to be. But now that the
facts are laid bare, it seems hardly
possible that Secretary Alger will ad-
here to his order, for he has been
plainly told that 1t means the death
Of the men. Surely the commanders.

THE REASONS WHY.

It is quite evident that the war will
now speedily close. It. will go down in
history as one of the briefest of i'm
portant wars, and at the same time one
of the most brilliant. 1t will not do
to argue that it counts for less because
it was prosecuted by a powerful nation
against one comparatively weak.
In the first place. the prosecution was
by a people unready for war; exceeding
ly iI-equipped for it, though numer-
ically nearly thrice outnumbering its
foe in population. That foe was a ma
tion long tried in battle, once the most
powerful of military Powers, maintain
ing a military system of great extent
and strength, and having a superior
naval force at the outset.
Besides, it was a war that had to be
prosecuted away from the home base
of the aggressor, while the enemy had
the advantage of intrenchments, forti
fcations, ETC., upon land occupied by
it for four hundred years. The defense
had likewise the sympathy and moral
support of the major portion of the
great Powers of Europe 1t was, be-
sides, we'll equipped in arms, and had
already in the field a powerful army
and navy, while the aggressor had to
mobilize its forces in the main from
raw material and to move them by sea
and effect landings under naval cover.
1t at no time has put into the field a
land force numerically superior or equal
to that of the assailed, and it moreover
entered upon the contest in defense of
sentiment, and not for conquest or
acquisition of territory, though the lat
ter comes about as the penalty of de-
feat. When. therefore, all things are
considered, the two nations We're more
equally pitted than has generally been
conceded. That which gives victory
to the aggressor therefore, must be
locked for in other directions than that
of numbers and force.
Ours is the victory because of six
things: the righteousness of the cause;
the intelligence of the aggressive COM
batant; the independent character of
the individual soldier and sailor Of
America; the general superiority In
arms of the individual in the American
forces, due to his education; his per-
scnal interest in the Government he
represents, and his firm belief in the
nobility of the cause for which he was
called upon to do battle

THE WAR POEMS" "

AS a rule, the poetry evoked by the
condition of the war at this time has
been of a low order. The Louisville
"Courier-Journal' is moved to say that
many young man has been ruined by
this war, and elderly men, too, who
allowed their patriotism to blind their
judgment and to lead them to drop into
what they fondly believe to be poetry"
That is stating it too harshly. Ruin"
is a word that does not respond to the
will be sure to recover their reason be-
fore their intellectual ability has been
much harmed.
The disposition to break forth into
rhapsodical rhyme over the feats Of our
men in arms is not necessarily harmful.
Such escape for a ferment of patriotic
feeling may, indeed, be regarded as
rather useful. Most poets" born of the
moment Of public excitement and patri-
otic tension relapse into normal con-
ditions, with experience that does them
good. But there have been some wor-
thy Developments in poetic expression
by reason Of the war; some that will
live, and that is the test Of literary
merit always.
But, as a rule, We repeat, the poetic
outburst of the war has been poor in
quality, though wonderfully great in
volume That there has been very lit
tie lofty poetic work with the war as
text is due, however, to natural causes.
AS Literature has we'll put it, "Our
welfare has not been seriously threat
ened since the opening of the war. Tri-
umph has been fully expected. Conse-
ouently there has been no deep note to
touch" That is the truth, very con-
cisely phrased. The martial poet is the
product Of great necessity, the outcome
Of exceeding painful travail and the re-
suit of great suffering or of the power
fully awakened and quickened senti-
ment of a people In peril or in prosecu-
ton Of that which may lead to great
peril. The great poem of war has a
strong and deep down-reaching tap
root, and surface and hort-rooted pre-
tensions can never be mistaken for it.

1t is freely stated that the letters
written by soldiers camped in San
Francisco to their friends in the East
give California a black eye. No doubt
of it. San Francisco climate is no
standard by which to judge the meteor
ology of the State San Francisco has
her own peculiar clomate, and at times
it is very peculiar. The men were en-
camped in an exposed spot which was
i'll provided in the way of drainage and
the usual camp conveniences. Without
sufficient clothing, housed in tents,
many of which are unfit for use, it is
not to be wondered at that the men
are disgusted and that in their letters
they express themselves freely and en-
phatically to California's discredit The
State will take some damage to its eli
matte reputation in consequence. But,
happily, the great mass of the Ameri-
can people are pretty we'll informed Of
the fact that, climatic conditions on the
San Francisco peninsula do not repre-
sent the climate Of the State.

selves solid with the Administration,
and all that; but such sentiments could
not actuate an entire people, and If we
are to believe half the stories tele-
graphed from the island the people by
overwhelming majority hail us with
joy, salute our flag with respect and
proudly announce themselves Ameri-
can citizens.
The children are the mouthpieces OF
communities often, and the women as
frequently their ears, and all these, we
are assured, greet our soldiers and sail
ors with welcoming that is deep and
sincere. Says one officer: II cannot be
mistaken about the honesty Of the ex-
pressions I see upon the countenances
Of the people about me; they are glad
in their hearts that Spanish rule over
them is removed"
All which constitutes another SER
mon for Spain, and one on which she
should ponder Why is it that in every
colony Of which she has been dispos-
sessed much the same state of affairs
has been found to exist? Why is it
that when she is expelled the people so
readily adapt themselves to the ways
of newcomers and express no de-
sire for the re-establishment of old
conditions? Is an answer needed?
Do not the questions themselves sug-
gest response sufficient and satisfac-
tory?
No one can imagine a situation IN
which an American State or possession
would wish for our expulsion and hail
the coming Of a foreign conqueror. The
very thought of such a thing Is absurd
to the American. Spain has been SOW
ing the storm and she is reaping the
whirlwind. Intolerance lies at the
root of her woes; lack of industry en-
phasizes them; the domination Of
producing class adds to them; a
military system in which the army be-
comes a political factor increases them;
insensibility to the rights Of human be-
ings augments them; robbery and strip
ping of the Government by an official
class among whom peculation goes un-
rebuked caps the sum Of her misery and
justify the punishment she takes.

CANADIAN JOINT COMMISSION

A few days ago it looked as
though the joint commission APP
pointed to consider and, if pos
sible, adjust all matters of differ
ence between the United States
and Canada would fall. 1t was
reported that obstacles had arisen
which seemed to be insurmount-
able. 57
Fortunately it was not 80. 1t is
now said that the commission is
progressing satisfactorily in its
work, and, Judged by develop
ments thus far, there seems to be
no reason to fear that it will fail
to accomplish very important re-
suits, even though it may leave
some matters for future negotia-
ton.
It will be fortunate if this COM
mission brings order and harmony
out of the differences and en-
tanglements which have friendly
and commercial relations between
Canada and United States. The
two countries are so much alike in
many respects that the interra-
tional boundry should be little
more than an imaginary line. 1t is
highly improbable that the al
legiance of Canadians to Great
Britain will ever place them in
conflict with this country, for the
simple reason that Great Britain
and the United States will always
remain on terms of friendship and
good will. Therefore, there is
nothing to prevent Canadians and
Americans from maintaining rela-
tions to one another almost as
close as if they were under the
snme flag.
Something of this sort will be
seen in the event that the ques-
tions in dispute between the two
countries are settled tremendously
at an early date. Denver Repub-
