Admiral Dewey is apparently finding the
Philippine rebels about as much of a bur-
den as an assistance. They are evidently
exceedingly anxious to get into the city
chiefly for the purpose no doubt of indulg-
ing their murderous and plundering pro-
pensities. But Admiral Dewey while
permitting them to fight Spanish troops
in the vicinity has prohibited them from
entering the CITY, and his ships are ready
to open fire upon them at the first signs
of disobedience. Admiral Dewey's con.
duct at Manila has been characterized
throughout by great wisdom and dis
erection. No lives nor property have been
needlessly sacrificed. Though not able to
occupy the town on account of lack of
men he has, by the guns of his fleet, held
both the Spaniards and rebels in check
and successfully guarded the lives and
property of the people. When the Ameri.
can troops arrive he Will undoubtedly be
able TO occupy the city without severe
fighting and bloodshed, thanks largely
TO the confidence that his conservative
and humane course will have inspired
among the people that their rights will
be respected, and their lives and property
protected from the rebel hordes that are
infesting the nelghborhood.

THE END OF THE WORLD.
Destruction of Forests Making the Earth
Uninhabitabie for Lack of Oxygen.
(From the London News.)


A writer in Cassell's Magazine deals
with startling calculation of Lord KEEL
vim that, unless he amend his ways, man
is under notice to quit this earth in some
400 years. The earth will remain, but 1t
will be unfit for human habitation, for
want of oxygen. All the free oxygen in
the atmosphere is produced by vegetation,
and man, the prodigal, is cutting down
his forests at most alarming rate. Yet,
while we must have oxygen to save life.
we must also have fuel to save civilization
And the timber, of course. goes In many
other useful ways. The point IS, that as
we consume we must restore, and that
the tree planter will be the true type of
the patriot now, as he was In the time of
Queen Anne. Then they thought only Of
the needs of the navy; today, for US and
for all, it is question of the larger needs
of tbe race. "When first the earth cooled
down from red hot state,'' saws the
writer of the article, 1T was surrounded
by an atmosphere of steam, nitrogen. and
oarbonio acid gas" The free oxygen in
dispensable to animal life was then pro-
duced by vegetation, which, under the
action of sunlight, has the power of liber-
ating oxygen from water and carhonic
acid. But the vegetation Iurlst be there.
This, however is but another way of
saying that we may live as long Us we
like. by outstanding our resources. For
the writer still vouohsafes us a vision of
an inan1mate world slowly recovering OK
ygen, and becoming the home of wiser
race. Hut why lose 1t, if only man will

The worst Of it Is that nature herself sets
us such bad example. The sun, as Sir

old-fashioned sort that gives us margin

day, but it is not yet Though the heat
thus wasted will never return to thessun,
he has good deal left to squander. The
great coalfelds Of Pennsylvania will sup
ply the States for a thousand years TO

supply the sun for the thousandth part
of q second. He was originally stored for
IS, 900, 900 years, He has dissipated about
four ffths of his stock, and supply for
four or five millions of years, at his pres

things go in astronomy. But still there
is time to sing song.

The continual faulthnding on the part
Of some politicians and soma newspape rs
because troops have not yet been landed
at Manila, Cuba invaded and Porto
Rico taken is entirely unlustifed. If we
bad had large standing army thoroughly
armed and equipped when the war broke
out there would be some cause for it, and
1t might be reasonably assumed that there
was fault on the part Of the commanding
officers. But we have had to create an
army. A month ago we had only about
20, 600 men who could be properly called
soldiers, and many of them were lacking
in equipment. That within little more
than month we have enlisted over a
hundred thousand, transported them
to camps, equipped and clothed them and
got them into fair condition argues Won
derful speed. Whatever delay there has
been has been due chiefly to our UMPIRE
paredness at the beginning of the war, and
for that neither the present administra-
ton nor any of the army officers are re-
sponsible. 1t is doubtless true that some
of the appointments TO positions in the
army have been by no means the best
that could have been made and there has

Accounts of the bonn bardment at San
tiago on Monday are fragmentary as yet,
but they show clearly enough that there
was very spirited and effective attack
upon the Spanish Notifications by the
ships which resulted in the thorough
demolition Of some of the forts and seri-
GUS injury to all A party of marines
landed perhaps for the purpose of estab-
fishing base Of operations for the troops
that are soon to arrive, and drove back
Spanish force which undertook to check
them. The Reina Mercedes, disabled
Spanish war vessel which is anchored in
the harbor, was badly damaged by shell
from the Oregon. When the troops arrive
Santiago must speedily fall. The rebels
are threatening it in the rear and their
occupation of the surrounding country
renders the sending of reinforcements to
the garrison impossible; the Spanish fleet
Is bottled up in the harbor unable to rem
der any effective assistance in the defence
of the town and exposed to the fire Of the
heavy siege guns which will soon be
placed ON the neighboring hills, while the
Spanish forts are already in ruins. The
condition of the city is already desperate
and as soon as the American troops are
ready to move upon it resistance will be-
come SO utterly HOPELESS that the surren-
der of the Spaniards without much resis-
tance may be confidently anticipated.
With this town in our possession and
Cervera's fleet captured or destroyed we
shall be very long way nearer the end
of this war. Indeed, the expectation
which is entertained by many that COM
plete success at Santiago will soon be fol-
lowed by move on the part of SPAN
looking to negotiations for peace is not
unreasonable. With her navy swept
away as it Writ ually will be when Ger
will be completely at our mercy. The
blockade of Cuban ports may then be
effectively maintained by our auxiliary
cruisers and gun boats while our power
full iron clads will be free to attack
Spain's other island possessions and the
coast towns of Spain ITSELF and Spain will
be powerless to offer any effective resist
ance. OF course it will still be possible
for her to hold on to Cuba until we have
landed an army and driven out her troops
but the loss of it in the end will be so GER
tain that in all probability she will
promptly abandon 1t and ask for peace
In order to save her other possessions
which would surely be lost if the war
should continue.

of God it may put either golden idol
or plausible metaphysic. There is an
idolatry of the intellect as well as an
idolatry of mammon. 1t is possible to
make an apotheosis of an abstraction,
and to waste life over mere theories and
methods But the quality of educa-
ton can never be satisfying, however
great the quality that is supplied, unless
the search be after faiths as well as
facts. This present age certainly knows
many things 1t is acquainted with num-
bers of facts, and deals in countless
ideas. All this, however, means only an
intenser activity for evil unless the facts
be used for moral purposes and the ideas,
so far as valid, be recognized as part
of the nyraidfaced truth of God. Christ
