CRITICISM or THE WAR.

Whatever may be the criticisms of the routine and administration side of this war, as affecting the war department and it's bureaus, none of them can dim the luStre of our victory over Spain or make the war other than one of the most successful in history, both as to it's gen. eral result and it's particular features.
 We were worsted nowhere throughout its course; we did not have single set back in Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philip pines. We transported great bodies of troops to distant islands, and they were landed successfully. The losses in the army in Cuba because of the diseases Of the season most dangerous to life and health were far less than had been ex- pected. After only two months of cam palgning the troops returned to camp at home. Many of them came debilitated by disease, but the death rate among them. considering the circumstances. has been surprisingly low.
 The conduct of our campaigns in gen. eral and in detail should be studied calm ly and without prejudice to draw from it any lessons it may offer as to needful improvements in our military system and the more efficient cooperation of the army and the navy. The territorial ex- tension and commercial expansion which will result from the war will make neces- sary the remedy of defects in our mili- tary organization discovered under the severe trial of the last four months, but the Investigation to find them must be made coolly and inpartially and with a view solely to securing the desirable i'm proyements

DREYFUS' ORDEAL.
His Condemnation and inc ExCifiEg
 Events of the Noted Case

Four years ago, lacking about three months, Capt Albert Dreyfus was found guilty by a French military tribunal Of selling plans and descriptions of French forts and their management to a foreign power. The foreign power vas then naturally supposed to be Germany. Later there was reason to suppose that it was Russia, or perhaps Italy. Frances ally, it was said. wanted to know how she was fortified against the enemy with which she had a quarrel to the death. not re
 ing willing to engage in q fruitlcss fight for her sake Germany denied that she had bought any secrets from Captain DreyfuS: of course. Russia did the same.
 Dreyfus apparently owed his conviction to the fact that he was Jew. Had he been q Christian, it is probable that he would not be on Devils Island today. Germany and France may be at odds as nations, but as peoples they are united in their ill-will toward the Jews.
 The story of the cOnviCliOn sentence and degradation of Dreyfus was one of the most remarkable known to modern military annals. Suspicion fell upon him at first only because he visited resort frequented by known spies. He was tried in secret and convicted on circum- stantial evidence that, as far as made public was not conclusive.
 Suspicion was first fastened on Drcy- fus about {. year before his arrest There
 were clubs in Paris to which the foreign | clement. and especially the Germans re- i sorted So to them were sent numbers i of war department spies. One of the
 spies found Dreyfus at one of the most | noted German resorts It was alleged i that Dresfus. explained his presence there by sasing-he was thereto practiee ! the German language. This was deemed

IT ALL TAKES TIME.
Peace Negotiations Sure 10 Occupy
 Months.

Washington, Sept. 7.-It is expected that at least four or five months will have elapsed between the eime when peace negotiations between the United States and Spain are begun and when reace is actually agreed upon As rule the settlement of terms of peace IS rather deliberatef process, which consumes great deal of time. In for mer wars in which the United States was engaged, the troops were kept in the field for considerable period after the war was practically at an end
 Two treaties of peace were signed after the revolutionary war. The pre- liminary articles were signed at Paris, Nov. 30, 1732. They were ratified by congress, April 15, 17S3. The final or definite treaty was not signed until September 5, 1TS3. Washington issued his farewell address to the army No yember 2, 17S3. and the army was for mally disbanded on the following day Nearly a year passed between the sign ing of the preliminary peace treaty and the dissolution of the American army
 The battle of New Orleans, it will he recalled. was fought two weeks after the peace agreement between the Unit ed States and Great Britain had been 1 signed at Ghent. The treaty was sfgn- ed December 24, 1874. It did not reach New York until February II, 1915. in the meantime the unnecessary battle of New, Orleans had been fought, as well as the naval battle between the United States frigate President and foilr British frigates Such was the slcwness of internal communication in that time that desultory hostilities ! low after the arrival of the treaty in New York. Improved methods of commun- lication, however, w1.l prevent any such occurrence during the war with Spain.
 General Scott's armistice from Aug ust 24 to September z, 1S47, was har- binger of peace in the Mexican war, but the formal peace treaty was not signed until February 2, 1S48, and ratified May 19 of the same year. There was no preliminary treaty in this instance, the purpose of which is to set forth the general terms of peace and to note terms to be settled in the final treaty
 In the civil war there was no peace treaty, for eae reason that there was no recognizable power with which the United States could deal after the col lapse of the confederacy.
 In discussing the subject; today, a state department official said: 5"
 Peace treaties become binding up on the powers signing them from the date of signing, but it is laid down in authorities on international law that when the war has been conducted on the sea or in distant regions, the treaty should contain a stipulation that cap lures made between the date of sign ing and actual ratification of the trea- ty shall be restored. + It Is a principle of international law that when powe,
