THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM.

The delay in sending reinforcemehts
to Dewey may result more seriously
than even the most fearful have here
tofore anticipated if it be true the belle1
is CAPTAIN General August Will ask
foreign warships to land detachments
to occupy Manila, on the ground that
he is no longer able to resist the in
eurgents. Interference by any other
powers than the United States in the
Philippines would very seriously com
plicate matters for Dewey and for our
government, and there is no doubt that
Spain would welcome such situation
in preference to giving up the islands
to the United States. Moreover, as one
European government would object to
another European government taking
possession, the upshot might be the
handing back of the islands to Spain.
Meanwhile, unless the forces under
Gen. Merritt make haste across the
Pacific, without stopping to take In an
island or two by the way. as has been
suggested is the intention, the Spanish
Captain General may be compelled to
do either this or surrender to the in
surgents or be driven out by them.
Should Aguinaldo gain possession Of
the capital before the arrival of the
American troops he could easily set up
III ho &c in nncCoCciOn nf
the Philippines. OF course, Admiral
Dewey captured the arsenal at Cavite,
but that is another matter. He has
made no attempt to take Manila, leav-
ing that work to the insurgents, who
have been doing their utmost to get it
without American aid.
However it is not from Aguinaldo
we need fear complications. He and
Dewey have acted as allies and he has
expressed himself as anxious for the
establishment of a republic in the is
lands under an American protectorate.
And this is the best solution of the
Philippine problem which the fortunes
Of war has presented to us. Under
Gen. Aguinaldo the insurgents before
Manila have behaved in most eXem-
plary manner, and their conduct in
war would be no discredit to the most
civilized people. Aguinaldo il an able
leader and has extraordinary control
over them. 1t is not ct all incredible
that under the same leadership the
people of the Philippines may dcvelop
ability for self-government if guaran-
teed independence.
Meanwhile, 1t is evidently of growing
Importance that the American forces,
instead Of stopping to seize other
Pacific islands, should be promptly
on the scene to prevent other powers
being given excuse for stepping in and
giving back to Spain the fruits Of Dew
ey's victory.

the rest of the advocates Of the i'm
perial and military policy. including
the sugar trust gang, long ago accept
the suggestion that the natives should
be given a chance to say what they
want?
The cold fact is that if they had be-
lieved the natives were in favor Of an
nexaton they would have submitted
the question to them long ago anc
thus removed one of the strongest
arguments against the job.
On the contrary, many months ago
remonstrance against annexation,
signed by over 10000 natives, was re-
ceived in Washington and presented to
the Senate. This is the only tangible
evidence we have CT the state of opin-
ION among the natives. On its face, it
is especially strong and convincing
evidence. And nothing has yet been
offered in rebuttal Why? There is
but one reason. The remonstrance
expresses the sentiment of the natives
The annexationists, both in Hawaii
and here, know that to be a fact They
are bent on annexation against the
known and stated wishes of the people
of Hawaii, and this plain truth can
not be hidden from the American peo-
pie, who undoubtedly still believe that
these people have some rights we ought
to respect.
The Hawaiian job-for it is nothing
but a job, backed by selfish specula-
tors and the sugar trust, although the
effort is being made to make the people
believe the sugar trust is against it
has many DISCUSSES. Its latest is a
military disguise, which is very thin,
indeed The plea Of military necessity
has been repeatedly shown to be of
little force if the United States mean
to continue their traditional policy of
aehf- development instead of colonial
xpansion-imperiali and militar-
ism. The sole value of Hawaii to the
United States from military point of
view, lies in the possession of Pearl
harbor as naval base. Now, we have
had for years the right to Pearl harbor
legally secured and have made no use
OF it, simply because the large expen-
diture necessary to make it available
has been considered waste Of money
when compared to the advantages to
be gained
Unless We are to throw aside all our
time-honored principles and traditions
and the Monroe doctrine and embark
on policy of Imperialism and Mili-
tarism, which would lead us God alone
knows where, then We have no earthly
use for Hawaii as a part of the territory
of the United States The military
disguise for this job will not deceive
intelligent people

The French people ought to be far
the superior of the Spanish in intelli-
gence, and no doubt, generally speak
ing, they are. Yet some French jour
nails of the utmost prominence make
as ludicrous blunders as the Spanish
in discussing American affairs.
One of these, the Revue Des Deux
Mondes in a late number suggests to
the Spaniards that the 'the time has
come to send the Cape Verde fleet to
the New England coast, say about as
far up as Delaware" and proposes to
the Spanish to establish a Spanish base
Of supplies on Nantucket island. This
geographical accuracy would do credit
10 Madrid.
The threatened boycott of French
millinery has had very salutary eff
feet on the French people. The shop
keepers are beginning to influence pop
ular sentiment there. The Petit Jour
nal in late number contained the fol-
lowing paragraph:
While it is very true that Frances SYM
pathy with Spain in her quarrel with the
Yankees is most natural and most proper.
still its expression should be kept within
prudent limits. and it should not be all
lowed to come between the Partisan
tradesman and the good American dollar
1t is for some of our good Partisan Jour-
mails. and also for those of Marselles. to
bear this in mind before it is too late,
and by few finely turned phrases con-
corning the friendship between Washing
ton and Lafayette to recall the excited
Yankees to a remembrance of their great
obligation to France.
This is the rankest insolence. And it
leads one TO recall the fact that France
had no real sympathy with the Ameri-
the cause of the American colonies
through hatred of England alone.

.TW 0 PARTICIPANTS
In the Battle of Manila, Call on Sec
rotary Long and Tell Of That Nota-
BILE Engagement.

Washington, June 20.-Secretary
Long received a call to-day from DR..
Kindleberger assistant surgeon of the
Olympia, flagship of Admiral Dewey's
squadron, and Gunner Evans, of the
cruiser Boston, both of whom partlcl-
pated in the battle of Manila. They
are the first to arrive here to give to
officials personal information of that
famous engagement. Dr. Kindleberger
is on leave, and incidentally on his
way through took a bride at San Fran
cisco. Gunner Evans's time expired
early in April. but knowing that the
battle was impending, he asked Ad-
miral Dewey for permission to remain
at his post through the engagement,
and this was readily granted, as Evans
is a veteran at the guns such as Dewey
needed The two men look bronZed
from exposure to the tropical suns, and
their sturdiness gives assurance that
Dewey's men are not suffering at Man
lila, a fact Of which they gave Secretary
Long verbal assurance.
Gunner Evans had a long talk with
the Secretary, describing many inter-
esting phases of the battle. Afterwards
ne talked with a representative of the
Associated Press On the night before
the battle the officers remained awake
and ready for service constantly, while
the men slept beside their guns. The
spirit of the crew was high and they
were eager for the contest There was
no apprehension except in crossing
O. e the mine t ent- ance OF Manila
bay. for the fate of the Maine had
aroused dread lest the Spaniards had
planted mines and torpedoes at the en-
trance The Olympia, with the Ad-
miral aboard. took the lead through
this unknown danger, and when this
had Jeen cleared there was keen
eagerness to begin the fighting. There
is no long dawn in the Philippines, the

LINCO,N AND NEPOTISM.

While the administration State and
national, is filling up responsible
places in the volunteer army with
more or less incompetent and mex
perienced sons of somebodies and thus
lowering the efficiency Of the army and
imperilling the welfare Of the troops,
it is cheering and instructive to recall
a certain letter bearing on this subject
from the pen of Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States, to the
General in Chief, in 1865:
please read and answer this letter as
though / was not President, but only
friend" says Lincoln. Then he proceeds
to tell the General of the Army that he
has son, twenty-one years of age. who
is anxious TO enter the service. Il do not
wish to pat him in the ranks nor yet give
him a commission to which those who
have already served long are better en-
titled and better qualified to hold" writes
the President Gould he, without en-
barra ssment to you or detriment to the
service. so into your military family with
nominal rank I and not the public fur
nishing his necessary means?"
Lincoln had commissions at his
command by the hundred, but he hest
tated before giving one of them to his
oldest son, a grown man just out of
college. Furthermore. he was willing
to pay the expenses of this son if the
general of the army saw fit to place
him in a nominal position.
What a difference between Abraham
Lincoln and some of his successors!

derstand how it was that, with the lives

endangered, the government of the United

years, Instructed its naval commanders to
prohibit the entry into any Cuban port OF

on dress parade at Newport or Bar Harbor.
