accepted in Europe generally that
Spain cannot longer hold Cuba; that
she is unequal to the expenditure and
effort necessary to do SO. This Eu-
ropean belief, which is consonant with
that entertained upon this continent
generally, will go far towards influ-
encing Spain, when she has made suffi-
cient resistance to protect her pride
and prevent a peninsuIar revolution, TO
accept the inevitable.
There is no reason now to believe
that the war which is now threatening
will involve other nations or entangle
US in foreign complications. Concern
ing our own strength, while it is con-
ceded that at the opening of the pre-
liminaries to the present condition OF
affairs, we were not in a state Of pre-
paredness; delay has been largely to
our profit, and that we are now IN
much better position to accept the
gage of battle Our naval strength and
our army outfit are not what they
should have been these many years,
and are not what they will be made
and maintained for the future, but we
believe that the nation is now equal
to the task of dealing with Spain II
war is not to be honorably avoided
The people of the United Safes do
not want war if it can be avoided with
out the sacrifice of national honor, but
if it comes the American people will
lay aside any issues concerning the
policy that has brought them to this
condition. They will put out of sight
and mind the differences of opinion
which have been entertained concern
ing the reasona bleness of the war and
the fortification it has in justice. They
will stand united before the front Of
the world, one people, upholding the
cause for which our banners are ad-
vanced.
A great body Of the American peo-
pie representing most largely business
interests, commercial investment and
trade relations, as well as a large body
of other thoughtful and conservative
Americans. who have believed that the
Cuban question might have been set
tied by discreet negotiation, and that
wise craftsmanship might have
achieved all that arms are to be now
called upon to win, have earnestly and
with courage Of conviction endeavored
to stem the tide of sentiment that is
apparently sweeping us on to war.
They have believed that peace and its
arts always, at all times, is preferable
to battle and turmoil; and that all
issues not involving national honor and
integrity can be and should be set
tied by statecraft. Some of these have
met and sustained the shock of the
most colossal war of all ages, and know
what the stress and horror of war re-
ally is But if all their noble efforts
come to naught and we are forced into
war. we believe that there will be found
but one sentiment and voice among
our people-'being in it, we will brave
ly fight to the end, and uphold in all
ways the arms of the Government upon
which is now imposed the most dread
solemn and difficult of tasks"

A NATIONAL NEED.

The present complications have dem
onstrated that we are short in one es-
sential-diplemats highly skilled and
equal to crossing blades with the diplO-
matists of Europe America of all
things needs a diplomatic school. In
stead of sending our politicians, chosen
by partisan interest at every political
revolution, to represent US as Embas-
sadors, Ministers, Consuls-General,
Consuls and Vice-C Consuls, we must
adopt the wiser course of putting young
men into training in subordinate posi-
tions at foreign posts, from whose
ranks in time we may choose those in
whom we must repose confidence and
important trust in representing the
nation abroad.
That is what is meant by the diplo-
matte school England for instance,
sends no man to a high office in an en-
bassy, into a ministerial position or an
important consulate who has not
learned by years of service in subordi-
nate positions and by association, and
probably in many countries, the arts of
diplomacy, and who understands thor
oughly the duties imposed upon a man
who is appointed to represent one ma
ton within the confines of another.
We proceed upon very different lines.
We make ministerial and consular po-
sitions rewards for party service. The
question of qualification for the posi-
ton is secondary to that of the reward
due to the party servitor and the
strength his appointment will add to
the party.
It sometimes happens that to these
posts there are sent a few men who
develop peculiar fitness for the trust.
But in every one of these cases these
officials report that they would have
been far more serviceable to their coun-
try and to our citizens and their inter
ests abroad had they enjoyed the ad-
vantage of previous service in subor-
dinate positions in an embassy, a con-
sulate or at a ministerial post. We
mats, or continue to suffer at the hands
of Europe chagrin and very frequent
" defeat. In this most recent in
stance, the difficulty with Spain, it is
the Spaniard, the acumen of his dipio-
mats and the skill of the master minds
who shape Spanish diplomacy have
placed US at very considerable disad-
distractions to effective accomplish
ment of good ends, which we were un-
equal to prevent, simply because we
have not the trained diplomats whom
we can pit against those of Europe.

siders the colonial possessions that
Spain has lost in recent centuries, ne
can better understand the desperation
with which that nation clings to Cupa.
Spain was once the leading colonlal
nation of the world Spain was the
possessor of Mexico, Venezuela. Coiom-
bia, Peru, Chile, Ecuador BollVia,
Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentine ana
Central America, and has lost them
all because with each she exercised the
policy of brutality, despotism, extor-
ton. determination and devastation
against which Cuba and the Philippine
Islands are to-day in open revolt. SPAN
has pursued that policy in the face OIL
liberty-loving people, whose sense
of humanity and justice has been OUT
ragged; whose people and property nave
been destroyed, and whose business mas
been interfered with until the American
people have called a halt 1t is 100
late for Spain to reform. She has had
many opportunities and has con
temptuously ignored them all. NOW she

Tacoma Ledger: California is max

State that is grown or manufactured in
California. In addition to the voluntary
action to this end law has been passed
by the State Legislature requiring that
in the awards for bids for supplies for
State institutions preferences should be
given to articles produced in the State.
This law has shut out from the State
institutions many foreign made goods
and lets in those which are manufac-
tured in California. The result has been
what it was aimed to be, beneficial to
home interests. While this State does
not produce all that it uses in certain
lines, such as dairy products, which
have to be purchased in other States,
yet a system of widespread home pro-

The Star has already reported
the fact that the lovely young
ladies who composed the Princess
Club, under the guidance Of their
prudent chaperCnes, after a de-
lightful outing of ten days on the
shining shores of Lake Weir,
have returned to their peaceful
homes, but now comes the after
math Of the most remarEa ble piS-
catorial narrative this scribe has
ever heard.
ln substance it runneth thuSly.

who likes to disport in water as

A faithful rover was secured and
scarcely had the boat glided a
hundred feet from the shore be-
fore 1t cOIlIded with something
that made it's ribs creak.
"What does that mean" asked
the chaperone.
"Trout," responded the rover.

There are Il few cases Of fever

exposure. to the heat. iG has been
found necessary to clear about
fifty acres Of ground for a, regl-

have been put TO work upon this,
in most INSTANCES. in the heat of
the day. Many Of them are un-
used to such exposure, and as q
result have SuccumOed. I'm ad-
ditiOn to this the boys have been
drilling three hours each day,
making almost ten hours during
which they have been exposed TO
the burning rays of the semi
tropical sun. The accommodate
tions at the division hospital are
very poor and inadequate The
diet provided for the sick IS OF Il
coarse quality and nntih for the
sick room. There are not enough
cots, and IN many eases the suf-
ferers lie on the ground. Condi-
tions existing at present are such

couraged, and the majority OF

the treatment they are receiving.
