Cnmarn'a Destination.

Because earlier in the war, the elusive
tactics of Admiral Cervera in leading
the American Navy chase all around
the Caribbean Sea were successful for
a time. the Spanish government appears
to think that a diversion of some sort
and value can be made by using the
squadron of Admiral Camara in the
same manner.
Senior Sagasta and his minister of
marine do not seem to understand that
it is difficult to fool us twice in ex-
actly the same manner. Since Cervera
steamed away from the Cape Verde
Islands our naval authorities and COM
manders have learned a thing or two,
and have taken their lessons to heart.
They also know a good deal more about
the power and effectiveness of Spanish
war vessels than they did six weeks
ago, and, in consequence, they decline
to be in the slightest degree worried

reported, or whether he is returning TO
Cadiz, or vending his bright, shining
way in the direction of the Canariss.
In fact. We are cheerfully willing that
he should take his choice of destina-
tions and his chances of arriving at any
one of them alive. If Manila is to his
taste, we see no objection to his going
there. 1t may be thought long and
arduous voyage. with nothing but de-
struction and sharks at the end of it,
but that is Spain's lookout. If Sagasta

available coast defense. he will find US

A Spanish movement to the Canaries
would be quite agreeable to US. We
could probably sink Camara as COM
fOrtably there as elsewhere. 1t matters
little where he goes. If his old bot
toms were merchantable, we should ad-
wise him to sell them to Haiti, Iberia
or Monaco, but. as they are not, it is
to be presumed that they will have to

Manila. German spook.

There is a mental process which is
popularity known as going off at half
cock" and which appears to have be-
come dangerously popular of late in
this country. An illustration is found
in the credence which many people
have given to the wild London News
story TO the effect that the European
warships in Manila Bay. under the in
fiuence and command of the German
admiral, had landed an International
force of marines and bluejackets, ex-
cluding the American naval forces and
without the consent Of Admiral Dewey
The idea was at once seized upon that
this meant a determination on the part
of the German government to interfere
with our possession of Manila and the
Philippine Islands, and many remarks
appeared in the papers yesterday. at
tributed to public men who ought to
know enough to reserve their utter
ances until reliably advised as to facts.
Now it appears that the German am
bassador near this Government has
been friendly and courteous enough to
overlook the grave affront of thus
jumping to conclusions on the part of
the public, and has sought to dispel
misrepresentation by assuring the Secre-
tary of State that the story is a cahard.

Civilization and Sayaycrx,

The increasing coIdiality between cur
own country and England. and several
other things, are illustrated by a re-
mark which the British consul at Ma
Mia made not long ago. A Spanish
lady came to him in much trepidation
and asked if the Americans really were
the kind of people that the captain gen.
eral had said they were. He replied:
Madam, honor and virtue are safer in
Manila today than they have been for
three hundred years."
This reply showed characteristic
British pride and bluntness. 1t also
showed the friendliness of the British
consul toward us as a people, for he
might have answered the lady without
seizing the opportunity to pay us that
little compliment. The incident has its
pathetic side, when one thinks of a
woman dreading, with all a woman's
natural timidity, the capture of her
home by brutes and sayages, and yet 50
lacking confidence in her own people,
as represented by the captain general.
that she felt impelled to go to the con-
sui of another nation and ask If the
truth had been told her.
If there is a proverb which expresses,
tersely and tartly, the higher sentiment
of the British and American nations, it
is: Don't hit a man when he Is down"
This proverb marks the boundary line
between the savage and the civilized
soldier. The savage regards all his enc
my's property. including women and
children, as legitimate loot, and consid-
ers that he has a right to take any sort
of vengeance on his captive foe. He
does not respect helplessness Of any
kind. The civilized man understands
that warfare is not an amusement or a
butchery, but an unfortunate necessity,
and should be carried on only against
the fighting men Of the enemy. He re-
spects the hospital flag. He treats wo-
men with consideration, SO far as the
exigencies of war allow. He does not
wage wars of determination.
1t would be rather like boasting to
claim that We are the most civilized
nation on earth, and 1t would be pre-
posterous to claim that our civilization
is perfect, for in that case we should
have no future. But the spirit of chiv-
airy and fair play should by our tradi-
tions animate our Army. and every SOL

consent Of this Government.
That is no doubt the foundation Of
the report, If it have any at all. and Is
what The Times yesterday predicted
would be the outcome. The respectable
journals of America really ought to
join hands in calling a halt on this
tendency, fed by sensatiOnmongers. to
catch at every Madrid lie alleging
movements inimical to the United States
among European rulers and cab
inets, and to make the same a basis
for wholesale denunciation OF princes
and powers not in the least inclined to
meddle with our affairs or quarrel with
Spain.

fend our rights and interests, We wish,

generally at the instigation Of the Span
ish ministry. Sagasta has seen how
touchy the American people are. and no
doubt he has learned a good deal on
the subject from former Spanish repre-
sentatives in this country. Nothing is
surer than that he has persistently
played on this string for what effect its
vibrations may produce in exciting i'll
feeling against US on the other side of
the Atlantic.
1t is time that we should cease to
play the monkey and dance TO the Span
ish hand-organ tune of intervention.

only results in embarrassment to our
Government and in modification to
everyone when the truth becomes

hands, and be ready for any other con-
test which the destiny of nations shall
impose upon us. whether 1t is the imme
diate fight against the allied forces Of
dirt and disorder in the Philippines. or,
at some future time, grim and earnest
battle with European nations for the
right to live our national life. In the
last analysis. it is principle, not force.
which gives backbone to a nation. The
cruel victor makes an implacable enemy
out Of the conquered. The civilized con-
queror makes his enemy his friend.
And it may be that the fact stated by
the British consul. that honor and W
tue are safer in Manila than they have
been for three hundred years, may rec
oncile elements which would be irrecon-
cilable under other circumstances.

The Movement at Santiago.


To all appearances. General Shafter
and his useful Cuban auxiliaries have
already succeeded in winning a strate-
gical victory over the Spaniards at San
tiago. 1t was brilliant military feat
to land six thousand men on a short
line of fortified coast, without any loss
whatever. and the tactical methods by
which this was accomplished are high
ly creditable to our commander in the
field
Feinting to the-west of Santiago har-
bor, it seems evident that all the troops
Linares could spare were sent in that
direction to repel attack. From the
northwest they We're in turn assailed by
five thousand Cubans, who advanced
within sight of Admiral Cervera, who
fired upon them with his secondary bat
teries. In the meantime, the debarka-
tion was successfully in progress at
Baiquiri, as heretofore described.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
our sea and land forces and their lead
ers are acting in complete harmony, and
are full of confidence and enthusiasm
General Shafter is understood to believe
that he has laid out a winning game,
which it will not take many days to
develop and finish. There are indica-
tions that the enemy also takes that
view of the prospects. inasmuch as re-
ports from Cervera and Linares to Ma
drid acknowledge that the situation is
critical. If they have any hope at all
of holding out it is probably based upon
the idea that General Pando may reach
Santiago with re-enforcements before
surrender can be forced, or the posi-
tion taken by assault. But, even if he
were to defeat the Cuban detachments
placed to obstruct his movement from
Holguin, and attempt to enter the lines
of Linares, he would have to make an
attack in rear on the American and
Cuban besiegers, who would be on tire
lookout for him, and would be very apt
to suffer defeat and rout. Even sup
posing that he should manage to cut
his way through to his friends, That
would merely amount to the addition of
eight or ten thousand weary, demor-
allied and hungry troops. without a
pound of supplies, to starving garri-
son, and the advantage to the defense
would not be important.

In the Spanish Cortes yesterday Senor
Romero Robledo made a most sensational
and significant speech. in which he de-
ciared that II the government wanted
peace 1t should approach the United
States directly, and not through third
parties who would want a brokers' COM
mission. Doubtless the argument behind
this appeal is that If SPAN would ask
terms now. something might be saved.
which is perhaps true. The Canary and
Caroline Islands might possibly be left
to her: but events have marched too fast
and far to leave any hope that the war
will stop short of the freedom of Cuba
and American ownership of Porto Rico
and the Philippines.
