The sound drubbing which the marines
at Guantanamo gave the Spaniards the
first of last week seems to have had the
effect of ensuring to the marines very
peaceful time since. At last accounts
their slumbers at night had been undis-
turbed by Spanish shots. These marines
have furnished the Spaniards pretty
good object lesson of the pluck and en-
durance of American soldiers which will
be likely to tell in the coming campaign.

Western political conventions are gen.
orally passing resolutions in favor of the
construction of the Nicaraguan canal
claiming that experience in the present
war has demonstrated the need of this
canal for military purposes. The ex-
perience referred to is the long trip of the
Oregon around Cape Horn, but in letter
to the New York Commercial Bulletin a
writer claims that if the Nicaraguan canal
had been in existence, to have enabled the
Oregon to have passed through it in safety
it would have been necessary to guard it
its entire length, and that this would
have caused US far more trouble and
embarrassment than the delay occasioned
by having to go around Cape Horn.

If Spain wants peace she can get it now
by applying for it on very much easier
serms than few months hence. Of
course she will have to pay us heavy
Indemnity now. but every day the war is
prolonged that indemnity will increase.
Spain must be satisfied by this time that
the powers will do nothing for her and
chat her only hope Of escaping utter ruin
lies in suing for peace at an early date
herself. Her reason and Judgment are
constantly urging her to this course.
But her pride has far interposed an
insuperable obstacle.

''We must go forward" says Senator
Frye. Everybody will assent to that SEN
ti:nent, but there is likely to arise sharp
difference of opinion as to what consti-
tutes going forward In the view of
some, if the United States should become
great military and naval power, it
would be going forward. In the view of
others it would be going backward. In
the opinion of some it would be going
forward if it should permanently annex
all the territory 1t takes in the present
war; i'll the opinion Of others such q
policy would be distinct retrogression.

A good many of our soldiers, it is said,

them out with uniforms of suitable cloth

erably impaired by such clothing in such

If the stories that come in from the

plished it is difficult to see why Congress
should not adjourn and go home. Its
presence at Washington, after all the
needed legislation has been passed, will
be hindrance rather than help to the
successful prosecution of the war. Should
an emergency arise requiring the pres
ence of Congress at the Capital il could
easily be called together.

Germany has two or three times as
many ships at Manila as any other pow.

interests are much smaller than several
