Admirn1s.

Schley and Sampson Are to BE Rear
Admirn1s.
The President will recommend to Con-
gress that Acting Rear Admiral Sampson
be advanced eight numbers and Commo-
dore Schley six numbers. This will result
in making each Il rear admiral, but with
Commodore Schley ranking Immediately
below Sampson. Captain Clark of the
Oregon will be recommended for an ad-
vance of six numbers in the captain S
grade. and Lieutenant Commander VAIN
wright will go up eight numbers. Other
promotions throughout the fleet will be
recommended
The promotion of Schey and Sampson
adds two more to the roll of rear admirais
who have won their advancement by gal
liant services in the present conflict. The
list now includes Dewey, Schley and
Sampson. all of whom have done heroic
work for their country and have demon
strated the prowess of the United States
as naval power.
The promotion of Lieutenant Command
er Wainwright marks him for especial
distinction. as he is the only naval officer
who has been twice recommended for
higher houors during the war, and none
more richly deserve such recognition than
this gallant officer, who first waged sue
cessful battle with two of the enemy 5
most dreaded war machines mt the mouth
of Santiago harbor and few days later
gallantly sailed his vessel into the port of
Ponce and raised the Stars and Stripes
for the first time as conquering invader
upon the soil of Forto Rico. This daring
young commander who comes of splendid
fighting stock. has added new lustcr to
his country's arms and may be counted
upon to fill place in martial history be-
side the grandest heroes who have done
service in army and navy.
CAPTAIN Clark of the Oregon has nobly
Hon the honors his country bestows upon
its heroes. His unrivaled achievement in
making the longest voyage ever made
with n battleship and then participating
in one of the most memorable naval en-
ragements in the worlds history, doing
incalculable damage 10 the enemy's fleet
proves his ability as q commander.

protocol which Spain accepted Porto Rico
will be ceded to the United States. Cuba
will be freld, and Spain at the earliest
practicable day will evacuate all its West

Spain is whipped. If she had not recos-
nized that fact she would necessarily have
been subjected to an unmercifrl trounc-
ing. The proud Castilians yielded 10 the
inevitable and humbly accepted the terms
of peace offered by the United States. In
the history of warfare it is doubtful If
the conqueror ever treated the conquered
more generously The war that has been
conducted on our part with humanity
amounting to chivalry would have been
continued, if need were, but Spain in such
event could not have looked for any more
of the forbearance that has characterized
its conduct thus far. No money indem-
nifty is wrung from an exhausted and I'M
poyerished people. and no humiliation
pressed upon them other than that which
is entaied upon defeat in battle. So far
as the eXactiOn of territory is concerned.
it is nothing but what the world foresaw
at the beginning of hostilities. When the
Spanish Government dismissed our minis
ter at Madrid it placed its American pos
sessions in the scale which the ruthless
sword was sure to outweigh. As corol-
larry to Cuban independence followed
Porto Rican possession. There could be
no other outcome. To leave Spain in
possession of Porto Rico would be to
leave the seeds of a disease that would
again break out and again demand our
intervention AS to the Pacific islands,
we are willing TO leave them to. the de-
termination of Il peace commission, with
the sole reserve that coaling and naval
stations at least must be retained by u.s.
Peace comes with all her blessings, and
for this a united and humane people may
well be thankful. The war has not been
an unmixed evil We have gained a pres
tige in the world that never will be light
ly challenged by any power. The pur
poses for which the war was entered upon
on our part have been accomplished. Cuba
is Free. We Have Remembered the
Maine!

Alaskan hmm rratio, Restr.c.e 1.

The United States Government rCcGs-

prospect9rs have been landed by the
transportation companies, and has taken
steps TO remedy it. These men are I'M

and from present indications they will be
fit subjects for the bounty of Uncle Sam.
In this emergency Gen. Merriam has is
sued an order prohibiting the landing of
more men at the Alaskan port unless they
have food sufficient TO last them year.
The order is as follows: Vancouver Bar
racks, Wash.-Notice is hereby given to
all shipmasters and other persons engag-

Alaska that orders have been given by
which the commanding officers ut Fort st.

Plans for the temporary government of
Cuba and the territory which will be ac-
quired from Spain as Il result of the war
are now under serious consideration by
the President and the members of the
cabinet. Porto Rico, as an actual addi-
ton to the territories of the United States,

control of all the functions of government,

and laws, has no authority to go beyond
this preliminary or temporary stage in
the establishment of any system of gov

Congress on the subject he will exercise
his constitutional privilege of making rec
concentrations, upon Congress alone will
devolve the responsibility and duty of
determining the character of the political
relations which Porto Rico shall perma-
nently bear to the United States There
are reasons for the belief that the Presi-
dent himself favors a colonial form of
government, and that this view is shared

Independent Mil to Be Built by Publishers
of Biz Newspapers.
A general movement is developing among
the newspapers of the country toward the
building of independent paper mills to be
operated directly by the newspapers. One
Chicago paper has sent a man into north
ern Minnesota TO look into paper mill
possibilities in that vicinity, aud other
Chicago papers may be supplied from
such mill, if one is built. The Chicago
Saturday Blade is also working along
the same line, while the World of New
York is on the point of starting a $1,000,
