1t is no secret that the administration ex-
poets that Spain will soon make overtures
for peace. That is all that is left her to
do. The government is bankrupt; its best
feet is where it can inf1ict no injury, its
other fleet is phantom, its cities in Cuba
are certain to fall into the hands of the in
vaders. Spain may await another fight,
and. then. ii may not.

Der of negroes being shot and slashed with
razors. There was general row, > it seems,
in the colored quarters of the city, in the
course of which three colored soldiers of the
Twenty, fourth Infantry were shot by Corporal
Scott, San Juan 'hero." The "hero" is
now In the lookup. At the regimental camp
also there was general fight with razors
and knives, and ''much apprehension is felt
il the city" it is stated, 'as to the probability
of some serious results to follow from the bad
conduct of the soldiers" If such feeling
exists in Wyoming, what was to be said Of
Wilmington, N. c., where the disorderly ele-
ment was more numerous and less under con-
troll? The trouble seems to be that under
stimuli of various kinds members of the race
are prone, if not well looked after, to sudden
outbursts of violence.
1t is gratifying, however, to note that the
mass meeting of coIored people at Indianapo-
lis, called to voice the African sentiment in
regard to recent occurrences, proposed to send
a copy of its resolutions to Governor Tanner
as well as to the mayor of Wilmington.

Let Us Look to Our Own.
PHILADELPHIA Bulletin. Rem.

The race riots which have recently taken
place in Illinois, North Carolina and South
Carolina, together with similar occurrences
on smaller scale elsewhere, point to one of
the greatest domestic problems of the future
tits the political and industrial status of the
eight millions of negroes, among whom the
victims of mobs are lynched, not only in the
South, but in the Northern states at the regu
lar rate of about two hundred year. In no
other civilized or Christian country of the
world is there such a contemporaneous record
of barbarity, lawlessness and crime which
surpasses that of the United States, or in which
the awmalling power has been more helpless.
We now propose to take under our control
eight millions of a race on the other side of
the world. who are as much below the Amer
lean negro in civilization as the American
negro is below the American white. Is it any
wonder that with the great race question at
our own doors puzzling our own statesmen and
leading to an appalling annual record of
crime, many thoughtful American is dis
posed to call halt on the Philippine expert
ment and to ask that we shall look more to
eivilizing our own inhabitants, both white and
black, than to civilizing an unknown popula.

December Century.

mac" in the December Century, which is to be an
unusually attractive number, Lieut.. Robson lays
no claim to having originated the idea of blocking
the channel at Santiago. The sinking of the collier
had been ordered by Admiral Sampson, but the
commanding officer off Santiago had not executed
the vancouver when the flagship arrived, and the
working out of the plan, as well as its execution
was intrusted to Lieut. Hobson. The preliminary
steps are detailed in this number of the magazine
and in later issues the story of the sinking of the
ship and the capture and imprisonment of her
crew viii be given at first hand. This is the only
account of his exploit that Mr. Hobson has written
for publication.
