The Political Effect.

(From the Philadelphia Ledger.)
II is generally recognized that there would be
no difficulty despite the usual partisan antagon-
ism, in securing large Congressional majority
to support the policy of the Executive were it
not for the common indignation OF the country
which the and offenses of Algerism have
provoked. While Mr.. Ager remains Secretary of
War the widespread, deep-seated anger of tn,
people will not be allayed. 1t has been aptlv
pointed out by one shrewd and influential Re-
publican newspaper that the soldiers who will be
mustered out prior to the day of election WILL in
remembrance of the direful sufferings inflicted
upon them by Algerism. stand in solid ranks at
the polls against the Administration if the Presi.
dent should continue Secretary Alger in office
regardless of the popular demand for his removal
Not only would they, because of the Just resent
ment they feel on account OF their treatment
imperil the success of the Republican Congress
sional ticket by opposing it, but there is not
a mother, wife or sister of soldier who has
been the victim OF the administration of the
War Department, who would not use her infl,i-
ence adversely to Republican success unless the
Administration divested itself in season of the
responsibility for the blunders and crimes of
Algerism.

he was and why he was there. He was
suspicious character. speaking only
the Spanish tongue, and having the
allowed to pass through the camps and
aboard the transports at will.
It Is the custom for a defeated person
or people to exalt the prowess of the
victors, because it is disgraceful to fall
by the hand of a contemplate enemy.
Therefore, Linares. Toral, Cervera, and
other Spanish officers speak in high
terms of those who whipped them. Not
so Pando. He saw Skaters army
got together without order-which cor
responds with the statement Gen. Miles
is said TO have made to newspaper
man. There was no system" are al
most the words said to have been
spoken by Miles. THE history of San
tiago is almost beyond belief. 1t was
a monumental piece of stupidity. Gen.
Skaters campaign was full of mis-
takes. He showed himself unfit to
command even a regiment He does
not know the alphabet of war;" Yet ne
won. Pando has to admit that fact
and therefore he condemns Toral in
unmeasured terms and curses Sagasta
for needing Torars appeal.
Pandos story comes to us like an echo
or memory. Many weeks ago there
was current what purported to be
some inside history of the Santiago
campaign, in which Gen. Shafter was
said to be panic and on the
Miles urged him to bluff it out" This
recital had a tinge of probability from
the repeated extension of the truces.
Pando says 1.-The Americans were al
ready conquered" when Toral surren-
dered. There are two hundred thous-
and Spanish soldiers in Cuba who have
never seen an American soldier"
But it is in relation TO sanitary mat
ters that this vindictive Spaniard sticks
pins in us. The health of the troops
was gone. There is no such thing in
the United States as a corps sanitaire.
They do not know how to care for
camps" Out of sentences of maudlin
bombast these words shine with bale
full light Their truth is seen in the
wrecks of men who have returned from
Cuba and from Camp Thomas and
Camp Alger and in the days of muddle
and suffering at Montauk. We have
no sanitary authority that is recog-
nized. A report on health matters from
Gen. Boynton. in defense of the site
selected by himself. is received with
more favor than the cautious state
ments and solemn warnings of profes-
sional men whose business is the health
of the men. 1t will be so until iecom-
potency is exposed and eliminated.
What Pando's business with the Gu
ban Junta in New York may be is
susceptible of two interpretations. He
may try to alarm the Cubans as to the
American intentions and create for Us
the trouble Sagasta suggested as g
means of revenge. or he may. as Gu
ban property owner, advise annexa-
ton The first is more reasonable il
the light of his interview.

Manila, July 15.--I had an opportunity
to Visit Cavite without exciting suspicion
among my friepds here A British naval
officer whom / had known on the Archer
offered to take me in his launch and to
send for me the next morning. Under
pretense of-passing the night on board of
his ship, | left Manila and in due time
arrived at cavite. The most striking
feature of THIS place is the cleanliness
which has taken the place of filth. l am
told that Admiral Dewey has his eyes
upon everything. Every few days if not
every day he makes a personal inspec-
ton. He has placed Commander Wood of
the Petrol in charge of the navy yard
and arsenal. The barracks, which re-
sembied an Augean stable, are now as
clean and neat as they can be made.
There is plot about five acres just out
of Camp Dewey" as the Cavite en-
trance to the navy yard has been called,
which is now used as a drill ground. On
one side of this plot there are other bar
racks. still occupied by about GOD Spanish
regulars as prisoners of war. A few days
ago the admiral accompanied by Consul
Williams was passing by on one OF his
visits. The prisoners heard that the
'hombre invincible." as Spanish officer
saiuted the American. the man who fear
ed neither Spains ships nor soldiers, was
passing, and in a moment IL seemed as II
the old barracks would go, so great was
the scramble at windows to see the hero.
The guards thought it was an attempt
to escape and called for help, but 1t was
simply admiration for the victor; for
hours afterward the prisoners from Big
Gen. Garcia Pena down to a private. dis
cussed the man who had hurled the ORC
Sangre into the dust.

The Rev. r. Heber Newton has spent
the Summer near Montauk Point, and
from the first mention of the place as
camp site he has had a personal interest
in the work of making ii habitable. He,
with many of his neighbors. has been
an almost daily visitor to the camp and
has talked with the soldiers as they ar
rived He does not agree with Secretary
Alger at all about things having been
done as well as circumstances would al
low. Matters were improved some by the
Secretary's visit. but a good many of the
men are still neglected. How can we be
Indifferent to the testimony ofssuch men,
who have no interest in denying the
truth? They are as competent as any
body to say whether the conditions are
good or bad.

Gen. pando,. Observations

No misfortune that spares his vocal
organs can make a Spaniard wholly
wretched. 1t was a positive pleasure
TO Gen. Pando. really capable Spanish
commander, to be able to pose and talk
big for the entertainment and. we hope,
instruction of millions of American
readers. Some of his tales of adven-
ture are probably the weayings of
fancy. but he also mentions facts that
are not wholly unsuspected by our own
people.
Gen. Pando says he was at Mobile
and later In Florida when we were
making preparations for the Cuban
campaign. full accounts of which he
sent to Madrid. He mingled with Off
GERS and soldiers. watched all their
movements and studied their condi-
lions. yet there was no one to ask who

1t is the policy of the whitewash politi-
clans now TO discourage complaints on
the part of the soldiers. BY repeating
that the soldiers who fought do not find
fault they expect to silence the men and
no doubt it has that effect in many cases.
A soldier who reached Milwaukee and
tainted in a park. refused to speak of his
treatment at Santiago, fearing he would
be courtmartialed. Another at Indiana
polls expressed the same fear. But
enough is known to insure the failure OF
the whitewash policy

The American Race.
(From dc savannah News.N

English is the language of the country Our
laws and our literature are in that language
But it does not follow that English blood pre-
dominates in the people or that Englishmen, or
"Anglo-Saxons," should have credit for the re-
markable strides of progress which the American
people have made. As we have said, Americans
are composite people, and at the sane time a
distinct race. They combine the better qualities
OF the peoples from which they sprang and are
kept virle by their glorious climate and free in
sttutions.

in the direction of Folkestone. The whole
occurrence happened in a very few min
utes, and was evidently planned TO take
place while Mr.. Blaxland was away from
the house.
The carriages were hired in Hythe, and
the abduction was carried out by four or
five persons.
1t appears that the children were driven
as far as Folkestone at a rapid pace. and
thence to Dover. where the party drove
to the Lord Warden Hotel, proceeding to
London, by London, Chatham and Dover

IL the original program is followed in
other ways so far as possible. every
citizen of Washington will have reason
to feel satisfied with the welcome of the
District troops. The boys themselves
may not see all the decorations or hear
all the cheers, because they will be
looking for some one particular face,
and listening for one special voice, in
all the crowd But they will see and
hear enough to feel assured that their
fellow -citizens appreciate them and are
glad to see them home again, and that
is really all that any of them want.

Two and Fate.

The ship we ride the world in shifts the storm
And throws its head up to the hurricane.
Quivering like warhorse when ranks form
With scream Of bugles and the shout OF men;
Neighs to the challenge of the thunderbolt,
And charges in the squadrons OF the surge,
Sabring its way with fury of revolt,
And lashed with exulation as a scourge
Who would not rather founder in the fight
Than not have known the glory Of the f.ay?
Ay, to go down in armor and in might,
With our last breath to dominate dismay,
To sink amid the mad seas clashing spears,
And with the cry of bugles in cur ears

Pat works on the railroad in a position where
he is often called upon TO take charge Of many
men. The regular master finds it necessary to
shout out his orders. while, strange as it may
seem, Pat is not given TO issuing mandates at
megaphone distances. The difference between
the two bosses is so marked that some one asked
Pat the other day why it was that he never did
any shouting along the track. ''Well,' he re-
