NOW that our army is getting into

LOOKOUT for Cervera's fine ships. IN
fortunately one of his splendid cruis-
eis' the Relna Mercedes, has been

notice to Cervera that he must not de-
stroy his vessels to prevent their can
tnre. II the vessels are DESTROYED in
stead OF being delivered in as good con-
dition as possible their value will be
exacted from Spain in addition to the
indemnity which must be paid.

In another column will be found the
call of the Democratic Congression'. !
Executive Committee for the First biz
trict Congressional Convention 20 maet
at Weston, July 81 the date having
been changed from August in order to
give the candidate time for longer
campaign this year than usual, owing &c
the importance Of the issues and Of
events that are transpiring.
The rest remains to be done by the
Democracy of the various counties and
Democrats throughout the district are
urged to take the most active steps to
secure full and representative delega-
tons from every county.
The Congressional elections this year
will be the most important held for
many years, If, indeed, they will not
be the most important fer the futul e
welfare Of our country held since its
first election. The fundamental prin-
ciples upon which our government IS
founded are now being called in ques-
ton by the party in power, which is de-
voting all its energies to changing them
and to launching the country upon a
new national policy of territorial ag-
graDdizement, conquest, imperialism
and costly militarism, such as has long
weighed down the people of Europe,
which is repugnant to our American
institutions and which our revolution
airy fathers not only never contemplated
for us, but solemnly warned us against.
It-devolves upon every true lover Of
his country's existing institutions and
especially upon every Democrat, to de-
vote extraordinary attention to the Con-
gressional elections this year for the
future welfare Of the nation hangs upon
the result.
Let the First District Democracy re-
spond promptly and with will.

The first serious land battle of the
war fought close by Santiago proves
the superiority of the American forces.
About 1000 cavalrymen and rough
riders drove back into the town double
the number of Spaniards. The number
OF killed and wounded-tweve Ameri-
cans dead and about fifty wounded and
probably many more killed and wound
ed OF the Spaniards-shows that the
land fighting will be desperate and
bloody before the town of Santiago is
taken.
The Spaniards will fight with the
desperation of cornered rats. They are
We'll armed and fortified and we must
not expect another Manila triumph at
santiago. The losses on both sides
are likely to be severe.
Such is war.

CERMANY'S POSITION.
Regarding the Philippines and

Strict Neutrality Will Be Maintained-- Germany Sc
Permission to Land Marines to Protect the
Consulate at Manila.

tary of State yesterday that being the
regular diplomatic day. This state
ment is made from authoritative
sources to show that no basis exists
for the story that DR.. Won Holleben
requested and secured permission for
the landing of German marines at
Manila to protect the consulate.
it is said at the Navy Department
that Admiral Dewey is the supreme
authority at Manila. If troops, ma
rines or sailors are landed at that
place from any neutral man of war it
will be with his permission 1t is not
questioned here that a nation may
properly seek such permission when it
is deemed essential to protect its cit
liens, its consulate and its interests,
but it is usual in such cases for the
neutral commander to seek the per-
mission of the investing admiral if it
is possible to prefer the request. No
such landing by any possibility could
be properly construed into the acquire
ment of right to remain in posses
sion of any territory in the Philippines
and our government does not for a
moment contemplate that any of the
European powers would attempt to set
up any such claim, which would be
resisted to the full extent of our mil
itary and naval power

The Epworth League is grand insti-

intelligence and is great and growing
power for good along social, intellec-
tual and religious lines. Its conven-
tons are interesting gatherings Of
young and old and their steady growth
in attendance and popularity attests
the worth and soundness of the peculiar
system of religious and educational
work upon which the League is found
ed.
The Leaguers of this district will
find Wheeling a fine old town for such
a gathering and its people hospitable
and excellent entertainers. And when
they have wound up the affairs of the
convention we hope they will resolve
to come again.

WASHINGTON, June 24-The only
important development at to-day's cab
met meeting was the positive settle
ment of the question of the attitude of
Germany with respect to the Philip
pines The Secretary of State has re-
ceived assurances which settles be-
yond all question all doubts on this
point. Germany has no intention,
present or prospective. on interfering
in any way with the policy or plans of
the United States in regard to the oc-
cupation of the islands. Its attitude
has been and will continue to be one Of
strict neutrality. This statement COM
ing from high official sources is ac-
cepted by this government in perfect
good faith and is regarded as final and
conclusive.
1t can be stated positively that since
the arrival of Admiral Diedrich with
German warships at Manila, no in
structions whatever relating to the
Manila situation have been sent from
the German foreign office to the Ger
man ambassador at Washington, nor
has the subject assumed a phase where
instructions of any kind have passed
during the last three weeks This dis
poses of various reports, based on the
fact that DR.. Won Holleben, the Ger
man ambassador, called on the Secre-

Of forebearance which Admiral Dewey
Immediately imposed on the Spanish
commander at Manila and which Ad-
miral Sampson has imposed on the
Spanish commander at Santiago.
The law of war is that the enemy
must not attempt to strengthen his posi-
ton either during truce or while UNI
der hostile guns idle at the time but
ready for action. Admiral Dewey told
the Spanish commander at Manila that
he must not try to strengthen the shore
defenses between the outer bay and the
city-that if he tried to rebuild the de-
stroyed forts or construct new works
the town would be shelled. He could
not reinforce himself under American
guns. The government at Washington
never thought of giving Admiral Dewey
instructions on this point. If 1t had
been able to give him instructions at
all it is very likely we would never have
heard of the Manila victory and the
Philippines would still be in the hands
OF Spain.
Likewise it is proba BILE that all Wash
ington never thought of telling Admir-
al Sampson that ne must warn the
Spanish commander against destroying
his feet against capture. On the con-
trary it is probable Admiral SIMPSONS
instructions from Washington were
simply to destroy it. But Sampson has
more wisdom than to do that or to per-
nit Cervera, himself, to do it, if it can

Bunco Blanco explains he has re-
