The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-08-11

It was stated in our dispatches yester-
day that the Sixth United States cav
airy did not have a comfortable time on
the first night Of their arrival al MontaUk
Point, the new camp which was chosen
some days ago for Gen. Shafters army,
and for some of the regiments which have
not been 10 the front, but which have been
suffering 10 some extent from typhoid and
malarial fevers. And why did they not
have a comfortable time? The reason was
that the camp was wholly unprepared for
their reception. There were a few tents
for those Of the soldiers who were seri-
ously III, but the rest of the command
were compelled to sleep on The ground
It appears that scarcely any progress
had been made towards putting the camp
soldiers. Why was it that little or nothing
had been done? That question is answered
by one of the officials of the
Long Island Railroad Company. That
railroad leads to the camp ground.
The official in question. in spea6-
ing of the unpreparedness of the
camp grounds, said. IF anybody is to
blame for our inability to have Camp
Montauk in proper shape it is the officials
at Washington" 1t seems that although
it was known couple Of weeks ago that
Montauk Point had been selected for a
camp for sick and debilitated soldiers no
otders We're given to prepare the grounds
until a day or two before the soldiers be-
gan to arrive.
Is this another instance of inefficiency or
mismanagement on the part of some de-
partment of the army? Apparently there
have been 50 many instances of inefticien-
cy and mismanagement that the public has
come to expect them. 1t takes time, how
ever, to get the right men in the right
places. If the war should be continued for
a considerable length of time men capable
of doing what is required to be done would
come to the front. They are to be found
both in the army and out of 1t, but it takes
merit to secure recognition, and waste
and loss and disaster in time of war gen.
orally proceed its recognition.

Thex Are Much AIiIse.

The insurgents in the Philippines appear
to be much like those in Cuba. They ex-
pect the Americans to do all the fighting
while they get all the fruits of victory.
Aguinaldo and his army do not appear
from the dispatches to have taken any
part in the fighting at Manila, which be-
gan on July 81. and continued, with inter-
walls. up to Aug. ?. The day on which
the main engagement took place was
feast day in the Philippines, and Aguinal-
dos soldiers abandoned their post of duty
to enjoy themselves, leaving one of the
TANKS of the American army exposed. A
feast day appeared to them TO be of more
importance than the independence of their
country, fer which they pretend to be
fighting.
The fact that by absenting themselves
from their post of duty they exposed the
American army to danger does not appear
to have impressed them as a matter of
any consequence.
1t looks as if they were thoroughly self
ish-that they would have no feeling of
gratitude if We should release them from
the tyrannical rule of Spain and give them
a government which would impose upon
them very light burdens in comparison
with those which they now have to bear.
The truth is that we have nothing to
expect from the insurgents either in Cuba
or the Philippines. We must carry out
our plans without any regard to them.
We must do what seems best, rot
only for ourselves, but for all concerned
1t is clear that the insurgents do not in
tend TO run any great risk in their efforts
to throw off the Spanish yoke. Therefore,
we are under no obligation to consider
them or their interests in making a set
tlement with Spain

The Cubnns VINO WIN Govern.

The men who viii make and administer
the laws for Independent Cuba are not, as
a rule those who compose the insurgent
army If what our army officers and
newspaper correspondents who were at
Santiago say, is correct, they are sorry
lot
Gen. Young a regular army officer, who
commanded a brigade in Gen. Wheeler's
division, expresses pretty clearly the idea
which was entertained of them by the
Americans at Santiago. In a recent talk
about them he said:
As far as my personal observation goes,
the insurgents are a lot of degenerates,
absolutely devoid of honor or gratitude
They are no more capable of self-goVern-
ment than the savages of Africa. They
are a mixture of negroes, Spanish, tai
ian and Indian, and inherit the bad quail
ties of all. The United States cannot af-
ford to turn Cuba over to the Cubans.
They would loot everything In sight and
then start in and rob one another. Most
of the leaders of the so-caled Cuban army
are adventures, ready 20 sacrifice every
body and everything TO further their own
personal ends 1t is my opinion that few
of them would hesitate TO sell out to the
Spaniards IF fully convinced that the Uni
ted States IS not going to deliver the island
over to them We should never turn that
beautiful and rich island over to a lot of
degeneratos who are not capable of self
government"
II would be unjust to the Cuban people
to assume that the people Gen. Young
describes are a fair sample of the repre-
sentative people of Cuba. The Cubans
who win come to the front to take charge
of the affairs just as soon as the Spanish
flag Is lowered in Havana. will bear COM
parison with the better class of the people
of any other country. They are people of
high character and intelligence Some of
them are, of course. found in the insur-
but the percentage of them there does not
appear to be large. The better class of
Cubans may not find it an easy matter TO
get control Of affairs. The men who have
been doing the fighting may insist on hav-
ing the offices. They are not in the ma
jority, however, and, besides, our govern
ment win have TO sustain the better class.
if self government is TO be success in
Cuba.
1t is, of course, question whether a re-
publican form of government can be main
tanned in Cuba, but in order to give IT a
fair trial the better element must be put
in control of the island. With such peo-
pie as Gen. Young describes in control,
seH-government would undoubtedly be
failure.

Mar md Politics.

Notwithstanding the fact that in less
than two months elections viii be held
for congressman, and for members of leg
islamres which viii have the choosing Of
United States senator's. Httle or nothing
is being said about national politics in
the newspapers or elsewhere. There do
not seem to be any national issues of suf-
fcient importance TO draw the attention
of the people away from the war.
In some of the states there are local
issues. In New York, for instance, the
people are aroused somewhat over the
charge that under Republican administra-
tions nearly 100000 of the peoples mon
ey has been spent on scheme for re-
constructing the canals Of the state, and
that so many blunders have been made
that 100000 more viii be
required TO put the canals in
such a condition that they viii
be at all valuable. 1t is also charged that
about 100000 of the 100000 already
spent was used for the benefit of the Re
publican political machine. In New York,
therefore. there is a political issue that
gives the Democrats a chance to turn
the rascals out"
There is little or no agitation, however,
of national issues. When Speaker Reed
was renominated he said there was dead
calm in national poitics-that there We're
no national issues to which the people
cared 70 give attention at this time. II
looks as if he was about right. The peo-
pie are not bothering themselves about
the free coinage of silver or the tariff or
the power grasping character which the
federal courts are developing or any other
thing which is set forth in the platforms
of the political parties They are discuss
ing the question as to whether we shall
annex the Philippines, and whether Cuba
viii eventually become a part of our ter
ritory and what sort of a government we
shall give Porto Rico and kindred ques-
tons 7 hey are not discussing them as
partsans because parties have not as
yet declared their positions in respect 10
them, and, besides, the majority of the
people appear 10 approve the conservative
terms of peace proposed by the President.
These questions growing out of the war,
however, win doubtless become political
issues before they are satisfactorily set
tied, but At is not at all probable that they
win be discussed as party issues in the
congressional campaign that is now in
progress. The congressional campaign
this year promises TO be noted for its free
dom from partisan politics.
