Barbarous Warfare.

The official report OF Admiral
Sampson leaves no doubt that the
SpaniardS stopped to the baseness
OF mangling the bodies Of our four
marines who were killed in the
first fight on Guantanamo Bay.
Of course Spain's cause will suffer
from this useless savagery, as it
suffered from the blowing up Of
the Maine. The brutality at Ca
mainera will make her reputation
blacker in the worlds eyes.
Not, indeed, that we shall pro
test to the world for this or any
other violation Of the rules Of civ
ilized warfare. We are managing
the war in our own way, and do
not call upon outsiders either to
help us or execTate our enemy.
But this incident will serve to con-
vince people that Spain for years
has been waging a baroarous form
Of warfare in Cuba. AS to that.
however, no country in Christen-
dom has a worse record Tor gra-
tuitous savageries in war. From
the days OF AlVa to those Of Wey
ler she has been famous for them,
and they have always brought her
discredit.
That our American soldiers or
sailors will retaliate in kind on the
Spaniards we cannot believe.
Their natures would revolt at it;
but they may fight all the more
desperately to avoid falling into
the hands OF such an enemy, just
as it is with our regular army in
its combats with the Indians Of the
West. They would not lower
themselves, we may believe, to the
level Of the SBaniards, in this par
ticular, any more than to the level
Of the Apaches.
General Skaters corps oil Tegu-
lars, then, in landing at or near
Santiago, may expect not only the
bushwhacking tactics but some oi
the barbariiies to which their war
fare with Indians has accustomed
them. Il is only fair, however, to
some OF our tribes Of red men to
say that they are not so cruel TO
captives as in old days.

an explosive so terrible that it was
thought to be more Of menace to
its user than to the enemy, were
sent off with perfect safety.
That they did rot explode until
they struck the target at which
they were aimed.
That when they did explode they
produced an effect akin to some
irresistible convulsion Of nature.
The success Of the Vesuvius
may mean a revolution in the
modes of attack and defense on
both sea and land.
Meanwhile the VesuVius has
proved herself about as deadly an
engine OF warfare as there is IN the
world o.day. No doubt again
and again she will st al slyly IN
upon the enemy und-r cover otthe
night and with "a sound like a
cough" will prodnce an efe 1 upon
the enemy that must be measured
in terms of terror inspired as well
as OF destruction wrought.

maker whose enthusiasm and di-
rectness might we'll inspire Mr.
Mckinley to emulation!

England
Respectfully

is irving, by false dispatches. to
stir up animosities between Ger
manv and this country. Some Of
our papers, and even some politi-
tions, initiated England and gave
vent to very unjustihed and untrue
language against Germany. The
Emperor has from the start ap-
proved Of our var against Spain
and so has his Government.
Now that Germany has some
ships in the Far East under COM
mand OF Prince Henry, who is try
ing to protect the interests Of the
numerous German merchants at
Manila, we have heard from differ
ent sources, even from Congress,
savage talk against Germany.
We find a comparison in the
New-Xork Journal Of the German
and American fleets there, part Of
which we copy:
The German squadron has forty
seven guns of incnes and over, and the
American squadron hity-three. But as
only twenty one Of the American guns
against thirty-nine Of the German are Of
the rapid fire variety, and we have
nothing to match the Kaiser's Io.2 inch
guns and 10 inch armOr we should really
be at considerable disadvantag ge, which
would De much greater after the arrival
Of Prince Henry's ships. On the other
hand, the Notifications at Cavite, re-
stored and manned by American gun.
ners, would count for more than they
did on May /, so that, on the whole, our
men should have a fair chance. And
that is all they ever nave needed.
We wish, however, to remind
our politicians that the Germans
are not Spaniards. and that peace
between them and our country is
a mutual necessity

Germany andrhe United states.

Germany and the united states
The presence OF German squad
ron in the harbor of Manila seems
to have excited in some quarters
an apprehension that Germany
may attempt to take possession OF
the Philippines, or at least to re-
peat her performance at Kiao
Chou and seize a naval station.
That Germany can desire 10
enter into a contest with the United
States seems improbable, both on
general grounds and tor special
reasons incident to the present sit.
uatiou in the Far East. For up
ward OF hundred years, we have
maintained the most cordial rela-
tions with Prussia, which, OF
course, constitutes the omlnant
Do yer in the German Empire.
During our Revolutionary War,
Frederick the Great denounced the
employment OF mercenaTies in op-
position to the American Colonists,
and subsequently, took an active
part in forming the league OF neu-
trails which dealt the finishing
stroke to the hopes Of the British
Government. From that time to
this we have received repeated
proofs of good will on the part OF
the Prussian sovereIgns, and there
is no reason TO suppose that the
fe cling with which we are regarded
by William ii. is uniriendly. Il is
true that we cannot count upon
the sympathy OF the great land
owners who have organized the
so called Agrarian party, NO
doubt their material interests are
affected by the importation Oi
American food products. On
the other hand, the manufacturing
and trading classes are deeply in
terested in the continuance OF
peace with the United States, both
because the price Of the necessaT-
les Of life is thereby lessened and
because an extensive outlet for
their commodities is kept open-
We add that since the outbreak Of
our civil war very large amounts
Of German money have been in
vested in American securities.
The tact, also, that millions OF
American citizens are OF German birth
or parentage cannot but form bond oi
amity between the two countries. So
far as race is concerned, a war between
the United States and Germany would
be almost as fratricidal as one between
the United States and England.

The National Opera Comique Com

bach's greatest work. The same singers
will present "The Duchess" that are
meeting with such popular favor this
week in "Pinafore" and "Rustieana. 3"
Iithey acquIt themselves as creditably
in "The Duchess" as they have IN this
weeks attraction, no doubt the people
OF WashingtOl will continue to bestow
upon them the patronage they deserve.
With such industrious aud conscientious
artists as Charlotta Gilman, Elsie Ellis,
M. Il. Martin, Algernon Aspland and
Arthur Tempest, one can readily see
the reason for such rousing welcomes
as have been accorded the m this week.
"The Duchess" will be dressed in the
richest and handsomest costumes seen
here in long time, and with the speci.
ally built scenery will present picture
seldom offered in summer opera.
Since the opening night. when all
were naturally rather nervous, Director
Van den Berg has got his forces better

acting has improved in proportion

A Waste OF Powder in Kentucky.
The attention Of Kentucky is
Just now directed more decidedly
towards the progress of family
fued than it is toward the war be-
tween Spain and the United States.
Clay County, down in the south
eastern corner of the State, is the
scene ofthe occurrence. The two
parties to the war are known as
the Baker and Howard factions.
The original casus belli was a dis
pute over a small raft of logs and
it has already resulted in the kill
ing OF halt dozen people and the
woun ding of as many more, and 1t
is likely before it ends to wipe
out two families and cause the
death or disabling Of number Of
outsiders. The only feature in
which it differs from the other
ieuds which have disgraced Ken
lucky is that it is OF recent origin.
Some OF the events are interest
ing and illustrate the condition Of
society existing in neighborhood
which has been settled for over
century. Both factions go around
armed and have so little respect
for the law that they propose to
treat with the officers like an in
dependent nation making war on
another people. Just now the
Howards have the courts on their
side and hold the town, but the
Bakers are encamped outside the
county seat with about $50 follow
ers all armed with Winchester
rifles and explosive bullets. How
serious the battle between the two
factions would be if once begun
can be judged from the fact that
the Howards have stored in the
town ready for use at moments S
notice more ammunition and arms
than the largest wagon in the
country with four horses attached
could haul away. A leading actor
on the How ard side is said to be
zone Of the most pious men in the
community" The latest news
from the scene says that a calm
before the storm was prevailing,
but as an old resident remarked
at is too calm. There hasn't been
any shootin' of pistols at night
Tor a week, and that is bad sign
II will strike the public that
there is great waste OF powder
and blood in the Kentucky
ieud. The Government is at wal
with foreign nation and in need
ofthe fighting qualities and surplus
energies OF the country. II these
Kentucky factions will stop killing
each other for the time being form
themselves into companis and Of
fer their services to the Government
they will be usiRg their energie:
to a good purpose. There is {

Bakers and Howards, The guer,

begun there would give the pecu-
liar tactics OF the Kentucky ven.
delta an opportunity Tor exercise
Killing the oppressor OF tbs
Cubans and the perpetrators o.
barbarities on American troops
would be much more satisfactory
than thinning out the population
OF Kentucky. And then when the
war is over and each side has wit.
messed some deed of heroism per
formed by the other side and per
haps a Baker has saved a Howard
from being killed. or vice versa
they would recognize over what ;
small matter they had been quar-
relling; and instead OF wasting any
more powder on each other they
would form new partnership anC
go into rafting logs. just as they
did before the feud began.
