OUR FOREIGN POLICY.
Ex-President Andrews on European Poll
tics and Our Relations Their eto.

Madison, Wis, July 26.-Dr. E. Ben
jamin Andrews, recently elected super
intendent of schools Of Chicago, in his
| address before the Monona Lake as
sembly, spoke on European politics.
He predicted great European war in
the near future which the United States
would be dragged into if it did not engage
OF its own accord. ssHe described the
strengthening of the Notifications and
preparations for war in every country In
Europe. "You may ask what force
preserves peace in EUROPE he said.
This peace force is the money power,
the. great financieys, whose interests are
entirely opposed to war. There are large
numbers Of intelligent thoughtful people
who believe that general war would
Kill off enough of the laboring people to
solve the labor question. Those who
We're left could be paid large wages and
live on higher plan. 1t is interesting
to consider which nation of Europe will
war That nation undoubtedly would be
Great Britain. She has the navy, the
men and the money. England is far bet
ter situated in financial ways for war
than any other European power.
" The present friendliness of Great Brit
ain towards the United States believe to
be sincere and not expressed for the pur.
pose of making capital out of US. We
should respond to this sentiment. Be-
sides the ties of blood we would be wise
to have powerful ally in case OF friction
with any other European power. We
Will probably be compelled to take place
In the settlement of the eastern question.

DEWEY At MANILA.
He Is Popular With All the For
eigners.

San Francisco, July 25.-The Pacific
Mail steamer Aztec, which arrived today,
brings Manila advioes to June 81. Letters
from the correspondent Of the Hong Kong
Press contain many interesting facts not
included in the cable dispatches.
He says the insurgent plan Is to wear
out the Spanish garrison at Manila, and
the resu has been that three-fourths OF
the soldiers are in bad condition, exposed
as they ara to all sorts of weather, robbed
of sleep, and worried night and day by
sudden attacks. The Spanish soldiers
are also demoralized by poor food and the
failure of their pay. Hospitals and
churches are crowded with the sick and
wounded, and soldiers on outpost duty
sleep in trenches exposed to the heavy
tropical rains and the scorohing sun. The
only wonder is that any of them escape
fever. Aguinaldo's remarkable success
against the Spanish garrison of Manila
is mainly due to the poor physical con-
dltion even OF the Spanish regulars and
their wretched craftsmanship.
The popularity of Admiral Dewey
among all the foreigners is remarkable.
The Hong Kong correspondent says:
son all sides hear kind words for Ad-
miral Dewey. I have talked with the
British, Germans, Frenchmen, Japanese
and Swiss, and without exception they
speak In the highest terms of him and his
management of the blockade. The cordial
relations see between the British and
the Americans is most marked, although
nothing is being done in violation of
neutrality. Every British Captain In port
swears by Admiral Dewey, and friendly
calls are exchanged every day by the
officers. If the British and American
naval vessels were near together instead
of seven miles apart the same good
fellowship would exist among their
officers. The Germans are now coming
around under the influence of the Ad-
mirals tact and firmness, and are giving
less cause for observations on tLeir in
tentions and methods. The French and
Japanese are very quiet"

the sunken warships experienced much

said. by the presence of the dead bodies
of hundreds of Spanish sailors who went
down with the ships.
Capt. Wolcott says the wreckers have
