Although not cable laying nation, and
with a strangely apathetic policy toward
projecting new lines of submarine tele-
graph in the past. our war with Spain
has demonstrated that the Washington
authorities were keenly alive to the I'M
portance of cutting or controlling the ca
bles connecting Cuba with Spain. Of the
many naval problems which this modern
war is expected to solve, that of testing
the relative value of cables in deciding the
fate of combatants is not the least. The
isolation of Cuba and Spain was one Of
the first steps undertaken by our naval
authorities. and the success of the work
has demonstrated its feasibility
From a strategic point of view the ca
bles are therefore of inestimable value,
and if earlier in the conflict the United
states had severed all communication be-
tween the blockaded island and the
mother country the war would have IN all
probability been shortened. A nation shut
eff from communication with the rest Of
the world is effectively bloclzaded, put, 50
long as cable messages can be fransi1ls s

ade of ships is somewhat doubtful N sp-

But if we did that, some liberal contrib
utors to G. o. p campaign funds should
go without their dividends, levied on the

WE also note with edification the de-
cision of the Treasury Department re-
garding that stern anti-corporation meas
ure devised by Mr.. J. A. Dingley, the
tax on telegraphic dispatches. From a
Washington item of yesterday, we learn
that Commissioner Scott of the Internal
Revenue Bureau has ssent letter to
Chairman Dingley of the Ways and
Means Committee, Withdrawing a recon-
mendation that Congress should settle
definitely whether the writer or the tele-
graph company should pay the tax on
telegrams He does this, he writes, be-
cause as the Attorney General and the
courts have ruled that the writer of the
telegram should pay the tax, his office
has no further interest in the matter.
The Dingley idea is what might be
called vicarious taxation. No doubt the
Western Union can stand a good deal of
it without squealing.

Judgment as to IloilO.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-The adminis-
tration has determined to confde to tho
Judgment and tact of General Otis, in
command of the United States forces in
the Philippines the question whether our
troops shall be dispatched to Iloilo,
where recent Spanish reports have
stated that a sanguinary conflict is in
progress between the insurgents and
the remaining Spanish troops. Some
days ago General Otis asked the war
department if any precise instructions
were to be given in his dealing with the
situation at Iloilo. The matter was
fully canvassed by the president and
Secretary Alger, and as result the de-
cision was reached to let General Otis,
on the ground, deal with the situation
by the exercise of his own discretion.
The reply was sent to General Otis sew
eral days ago, and it will be for him to
decide whether United States force
shall go to Iloilo and how many men
will constitute the force.

PAST HISTORY AND PRESENT
CONDITIONS

n gentleman called at Our office a
week or two ago to ask as to whether
Spain did recognize or no the independ-
enee Of h south in the great war
BRh She north, backed by Europe as
n recruiting ground. We answered inthe
affirmative. On the 18th of June, 1861,
only q few weeks after war began,
SUain issued a proclamation of neu-
.eraisfy. The New York Times two or
three days ago discussing what was
done gives this:
~Spain. however, like England and
France, did not wait for this, but in
Ma and June adopted the policy
eshich they judged most advantageous
tai themselves. In other words, they
stuffed the situation, decided that the
enuafffct was serious enough to de-
serve the name of war, and without
rsgxxrd for the preferences of the north,
~ccorTi belligerent rights TO DOtn OF
tn. opposed forces 1t is true that
even now, after three years OF hght-
fng. the Cubans have not succeeded IN
establishing a government as worthy
Ef the name as the confederate5 mad IN
AprI1, 1861, but that fact proves mat
the United States has carefully pre-
-s.ryes5 her friendly attitude toward
spain, rather than that Spain was
equally scrupulOus in u time OF
trouble"
If the United States should recog-
nize the Cubans as belligerents ana
1esnSdfIed TO all the rights appertalnlng
fo that name and such recognition, 1t
ought NOT to provoke war at all. But
intervention may do so. The destruc-
tIon OF American commerce may be re-
. garded as a sufficient cause on inter-
ference irrespective of the amt
ff,s. dreadful slaughter and suffering
OF the inhabitants Of Cuba Senator
Proctor turned ON the light. The Times
thinks he made it very clear that out
side OF Havana city and the smaller
towns there is no civil government, no
civilized life in Cuba. LIT is 'concentra-
ffon and desolation.'" But ON the 9TH
ar hand, after more than three years
of war Spain has been unable to sub
due the insurrection, and up to now
the Cuban insurgents have neither
been intimidated nor generally weak
ened. The Times says they are as
stTonug NOW as at the start and that
Spain has shown both inhuTnanIty AND
Gsnbecility. Senator Proctor said OF tine
{ ubans:

Cuba, would be revolutionary Us not so
