sent TO their several addresses. The
Treasury Department is simply inun-
dated with subscriptions in small
amounts. and the popular success is a
feature Of national history AS The
Times has previously remarked. the
avidity with which the public has
taken hold OF this matter and shown
its confidence in the Government will
be an object lesson to Europe. as val
uable to US as the winning of a battle.
The governments of the Old World
will begin to realize after a while that
America has not only twelve million
men who can be turned into soldiers
in shcrt order, but almost inexhaust-
ible stores Of wealth which can be
transmitted into a great Navy and

nection with war

The SDaufsf, Lie

People who have not been busy COM
manding troops, or doing special CORE
spondence, or mobilizing provisions, or
getting their relatives appointed to mil
itary positions, or doing other business
connected with this war, have been
calmly and dispassionately studying
the Spanish lie. This lie is really one of
the most curious contributions to lit
erature ever made in the history of the
world. OF course, it is not really neces-
sary for a civilized man to lie, but some
civilized men think 1t convenient, and
for real, fresh. dewy, unspoiled speci-
mems Of lying, the Spaniard is probably
unsurpassed. He seems to have what
the old ladies call "a knack' at rails
ing lies. He can tell more lies in ten
minutes than an ordinary man could in
a day.
His golden opportunity came with
the beginning of this war Then he had
a chance to show the whole world what
he could do. Weyler set the ball "a
rolling by informing the Queen Regent
that if she would only let him do it he
had plan for landing at New Orleans,
which was one days brisk march from
Washington, and taking immediate
possession of the Yankee capital He
said that nothing would please him
more than to capture President Nc
Kinley and bring him alive to the

the horrors of a pacific blockade. AT
all events, it is evident that Gen
Blanco is in heaIthful condition, and
that his troops viii give us every inch
of the pretty fight that he promised
Gen. Miles.
Sinful delay and consideration for
the enemy have depressed our pros
poets. and the situation in Cuba is
not encouraging. What We might have
taken with moderate force and with
little loss will now cost us a sad list
Of killed and wounded; but the sacri-
fee must be made. President McKin-
ley will not be allowed to hold back
any longer. He will have to take Ha-
vana, as he ought to have done at
the start. or Europe will begin to ask
unpleasant questions. II is a pity that
We should have to witness the slaugh-
ter Of perhaps several thousand Amer
lean boys, but we are in for il, and SO
are they.

FRIDAY, JUNE, II. 1888.
On 10 HnNaItnt

The light which has been blazing
npon the rest Of the world since the
RSd day OF April has, We are now in
Formed, finally penetrated the White
House and proclaimed to Mr. Mckinley
that he cannot hope TO end the Spanish
war until the American forces take
Havana.
In the beginning, the President seems
TO have thought differently. Constrain-
sd TO believe that through a freak Of
nature he looked like Napoleon, he felt
II due TO his self-respect to act as un-
like him as possible. In his campaigns
against Austria, Prussia and Russia
the French Emperor, it will be remem-
bered, always marched stra' 'ght for Vi
emma, Berlin and MOSCOW. The McKin-
ley strategy, therefore, required an at
tack on Cuba by way Of Matanzas
Cardenas, San Juan, CienfuegCs, San
tiago and Guantanamo, the American
admirals and generals being instructed
70 visit these places with absolute i'm
partiality, but to let Havana severely
alone.
It is probable that history will take
the view that the essential point OF
difference between the two methods is
one Of comparative morality Napo-
leon, being a bIoodthirsty conqueror
naturally waged war to win battles and
attain his objects; the Mckinley plaI
being purely humanitarian Of neces.
sity eschews bIoodshed and relies fol
results on inaction and delay
1t will be objected, of course, that
while Napoleon's system was curt and
savOred too much Of militarism, wher
he started for an enemy's capital he in
yariably arrived there in time to die
tate a most humiliaung peace; but, as
the history OF this war viii net be writ
ten for many years to come. there vii
be abundant time to record the fact
that the American forces eventually
took Santiago and established a branch
pOstofiice there.
What concerns US at present is what
Mr.. Mckinley intends to do with San.
tiago when he gets il, and why. on tht
eve Of the triumphant conclusion o
what we may cali his anti-Napoleoni,
campaign, he should change front en-
tirely and order a movement agains
Havana, which, as the key Of the whole
situation, the other warrior would hav,
taken six weeks ago!

PLENTY OF GOOD WATER.
senator Allison Wins His Long
Fight for District improvements.


The conferees on the District appro-
priation bill have reached partial agree
ment, and today will probably sign it
and submit it toathe House. The Senate
has won out on several of the big amend
ments il made to the bill, notably that
increasing the water supply of the city
of Washington.
There has been a bitter struggle over
this matter between the two houses for
number of years, and although little
has been gained every year and work has
progressed constantly, the House has al
ways refused to grant the main matter
insisted upon. ,tbet completion of the Ly-
decker tunneLb Senator Allison has
fought for this ineessantly and this year
he has forced the House to yield and
Washington, as a result of the fight he
and his associates have made. will have
an improved and an abundant supply of
good water. =
The appropriation, of s53O. 900 for the COM
pletion OF the Lydecker tunnel remains
in the bill. The House has also agreed
to the Senate proposition looking to some
plan for system. of filtration of the
water through the appointment OF COM
mission of eXPerts1Sith instructions to re-
port TO Congress.llIf the Senate gained
nothing more than this In the comprom-
Use, the city is to be congratulated, for
the shortage Of the water supply has been
source of annoyance for years. But
cher advantages $dome from the report.
The House has yielded practically on the
question of sewerage. and the Senate
comes out of the contest with good ar
rangement on that branch OF the public
work. The modern system of sewers
which has been commenced. will be con-
tinued. and under the provisions OF the
compromise marked Improvement will
be seen during the coming year.
In the smaller items of the bill there
has been a spirit of compromise in which
both Houses have made concessions with
out crippling the public service.
No agreement has been reached on the
appropriations relating to the city free
library, electric lighting, the Senate
amendment. requiring the telephone poles
to be taken down. the appropriations fol
the various charities and for the erection
of bridges over Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts Avenues extended.

UnpIeasant Truths.

1t is not a pleasant story which Mr..
Whigham, late correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune in Havana. brings
from that place. He reports that the

by Blanco are superb, and that it will
take at least seventy-fiye thousand
men to capture the city. Beyond
this, it is of ominous Importance that
ships loaded with provisions have fire.
ouently found no difficulty in eludinc
the blockade and that the city has q
six months food supply. There mus
have been gross carelessness some
where to permit Of this, but it is pos
eible that our authorities in Washing
Bon did not wish to add starvation to
