An Execution in Prussia
(From the Chicago Record. !

y
A few days ago four persons. three
men and one woman, were beheaded for
the same crime7and at the same hour in
Duisburg by the Rhine. The woman had
melted the three men to murder her hus-
band. She was young and pretty, and
while the men. met their fate stoically
she wept pitffully, and entreated the ex-
ecutioner to have mercy on her youth
and sex But he chopped off her head
with as little compunction as he did
those of her accomplices. This Prussian
executioners Reindl by name. is the
same who recently celebrated his silver
wedding with great eclat receiving even
memorial medal from the Emperor He
literally has his hands full for he is the
only one in Prussia; he does all the exc
cutions, and they average about five a
week. He has, of course, a set of assist
ants and his son. who wishes to succeed
him in the business. is the first of
them. ReindPs income is, nevertheless
not a large one. for his salary and fees
are fixed at such rate that he never
can earn more than about 5000 marks, or
about 81, eco a year. Executions In Prus-
sia are still done with the sword in a
very simple way, whereas in most of tn ;
other German states they are done with
the guillotine, as in France and in one
or two of them hanging is the methode

The welcome news came last evening
that Gen Shafter had begun to land his
troops for the advance on Santiago. and
that his vanguard would be on shore
before night and in position 10 resist
attack. Judging from the accounts
which have reached us, the movement
appears TO have been planned and exc
cuted with Judgment and ability
Following the council of war at Gen.
Garcia's camp, at Acerraderos on Mon
day, the navy transported a force of
five thousand Cubans, under Gen. De-
metric Castillo. to Baiquiri, sixteen

force, were met by rain Of shot and

AS the American army is being land

bic that the movement will be complet-

the first lodgment was made, the abil-
ity Of the detachment to intreneh and

The times., 1898-06-23
June 2l, is Of interest. The Graphic

June 21, is OF interest. The Graphic
says:
America must either restore the islands to
Spain when the war is over or she must give
political Independence TO the Malagonegrito popu-
iation
The first would be sin against the fundamen-
tai justification for the The other would
be TO produce a state of affairs infinitely worse
than has existed under the Spaniards.
Nothing then is left but annexation protec.
tiOn.
In no section OF the British press can
there be found the slightest hint that
Great Britain would allow a change of
Philippine ownership, except to the
United States. Neither France, Ger
many nor any other naval commercial
nation could acquire the islands by
conquest or purchase without forcing
Great Britain to war. Spain having
lost possession. American occupation
and control become as important to
British interests as TO our own, al
though on somewhat different grounds.
As the Graphic sees. a return of the
islands 70 Spanish misrule, plunder and
barbarism is completely out of the
question. There then remains only
protection or annexation. The first is
impracticable, because it would involve
all the responsibilities and war risks of
ownership, without its compensating
advantages Of full control and revenue.
No solution other than annexation and
development under American ideas
now presents itself No other is likely
TO be accepted by the American people,
who are almost a unit upon the propo-
sition that necessity and destiny de-
mand that the flag of the Union shall
float forevermore over the Philippines,
Hawaii and Porto Rico.
The settled determination which
backs this sentiment, and the sacrifices
which America would make to give 1t
effect, and to maintain and defend it's
accomplished results, viii be better un-
derstood and appreciated when any for
eign power shall attempt interference.
