Two weeks ago today The Times sug-
gested that the official report of COL
onel Roosevelt on the Santiago cam
paign had not been published and that
ii would be good thing to give it to
the press. 1t is fair assump-
tion that Colonel Roosevelt knows
many OF the most vital facts in rela-
tion to the campaign and has stated
them and commented on them in his
official report. Additional Importance
is given to his recital by his nomina-
tion as the Republican candidate for
governor of New York He is still be-
lieVed TO be a fearless, truthful, i'm
partial and independent observer who
would relate the facts as they are.
The American people are more deeply
interested in an accurate account of
that campaign than they have been in
any subject for many years. 1t is their
honor that is at stake, ii is their money
that has supported the army. ii is their
servants whose conduct is in question.
and it is their right to have the official
testimony Of one or all of their mill
tary officers. They were led to believe
that Colonel Roosevelt was well quali-
fed to observe and faithful to report
what he saw and experienced 1t is
now repeated by the Republicans that

A war would unite the French peo-

slander, forgery, suicide, murder, and
general dishonor. The army would
fight as it did not in 1870 and in the
flush OF victory all that is shameful
would be forgotten. Then, too, it will
be hard for the French government to
explain the recall of Marchand and the
abandonment of its claims in way to
satisfy people that is over critical and
nearing a state of riot. Yet there is
England's navy, unmatched in the
world, and the fearful example of
Spain. On the whole, it does not
seem as though the government
could be mad enough to attempt
to save itself by a trial of strength
with England. When France was
so rash as TO allow Bismarck to
bring on the war Of 1870. she was ig-
norant of Germany's strength. What

Whether the conspiracy is to bear
the golden fruit the conspirators hope
for, or not, is a question of consider

There is remote possibility that
ventilation of the scheme in its newer
form, even at this late day, may do
some good, but probably, only in the
way of affecting the vote for Congress

sure that nothing short of a verv OBJ

France and England.

A war between England and France
would prove the greatest shock Of the
century to the moral sensibilities of
mankind. It would show that an ap-
parenuy just cause is not necessary to
a conflict between two enlightened ma
tions. and that a war that has been
avoided for so many decades may be
precipitated as a mere matter of ex-
pediency by a government that is
threatened by its own people. If there
should be a violent clash between these
two peoples, it would have no higher
source than the need of distracting pop
ular attention from the shortcomings of
an administration. 1t does not seem
possible that the men who are guiding
the French republic so near the rocks
would be rash enough and selfish
enough to force a groundless and disas-
trous war in order to prolong for lit
tie time their own power
For some years England has expend-
ed lives and treasure TO rescue the en-
tire course OF the Nile from the hands
of savage fanatics who were constant
menace to the orderly Egyptians and
an obstacle to the extension of civiliza-
ton and commerce. Alore England
has brought Egypt from a bankrupt
nation, the prey of ambitious and plum
derous adventures, to a condition of
unprecedented prosperity and good
order. Whatever advantages the Eng
lish have enjoyed as a result, they
have fairly won. They were right to
assert that no other power should set
up claims to territory anywhere in the
Nile Valley. France, without the
shadow of lawful right, sent Major
Marchand with detachment of SOL
diers into the valley. Here ne pro-
fesses to nave bought Fashoda from
the Shillock chiefs, who, he says, had
placed the country under the protec-
ton Of France. The Shillocks were al
ready under treaty with England by
which no authority but that of Egypt
should be recognized. The chiefs deny
the alleged transaction with Major
Marchand
Lord Salisbury has been very patient
and generous, but at last he is as firm
as adamant. He recalls the fact that
but for the English-E Egyptian victory at
Omdurman, Major Marchand and his
force would have been massacred by
the dervishes and afiirms that since
England has conquered the country for
Egypt. the latter alone shall have title
to it. This is both reasonable and
right. By publishing the correspond
ence in which his distinct purpose TO ex-
clude the French from Fashoda is an
nounced. Lord Salisbury has made it
impossible that he should recede from
his position. Now, either France must
recall Marchand in short time or the
English and Egyptian troops musr
drive him out. 1t is hardly to be sup
posed that any other power would ap-
prove the French claim, which is so
obviously unsound. If France resists.
she must fight alone, and as naval
forces must do the most of the work.
her chances of winning glory are in
deed few.

Peace and Profit.

Dispatches from Paris yesterday were
significant of an impending. sensation
and scandal in connection with the
peace negotiations now in progress be-
tween the United States and Spain. As
the deductions which our own CORE
spondents have made, appear TO be cor
roborated from several independent
sources, we can assume that enough is
known 10 justify the press Of the coun-
try in taking the matter up, with suf-
fcient basis for action to make action
interesting.
AS far as The Times is concerned,
there is nothing unexpected in the news
that the same old Spanish bond gang
that worked so persistently last Win
ter for peace at any price. and to per
petuate the unholy alliance between the
Republican Administration and SPAIN
is now operating in the American and
French capitals, and attempting to
commit our Government TO the pay
ment of the Philippine debt in any
event, and a settlement in whole or in
part of Spain's other debt contracted
in the effort to subjugate or extermi-
nate the Cuban people, If that be pos
sible.
The PEOPLE who VIGOROUSLY are inter
ested in this conspiracy are identically
the persons who formed the old Span
ish bond syndicate, whose criminal
aims and adventures were temporarily
wrecked by the destruction of the
Maine. Up 10 the moment Mr.. McKin-
ley saw that he must accept the man
date of the nation and wage war, it is
a matter OF common knowledge that
this Anglo-American Spanish bond and
sugar syndicate controlled and dictated
the foreign policy Of his Administra-
ton. Like its nearest friend and po-
litical adviser, Hanna, it kept out of
sight as much as possible while the
blood Of the country was up and bull
lets flying: but it was always in secret
activity. continually in close conference
with the White House and the State
Department, through its senat al and
financial members. and ever ready to
seize upon the first opportunity te stop
the war and to command a peace set
tlement favorable to its designs.
This syndicate. through its chief rep
resentative in public life, was present
at the famous secret conference held in
the Executive Mansion the night before
Al. Cambon presented the prearranged
peace overture from Spain. 1t joined
forces, perhaps, not altogether ingen-
uousiy, with Archbishop ireland in
combined pressure upon the President
to compel his acceptance and adoption
of the Edmunds-Ireland protocol. 1t

This nefarious game, as it relates to
