' HERO OF MANILA BAY.

Commodore Dewey fs One Of the strice-
est Naval Discipiinsrians.
Altogether Commodore Dewey has
seer-almost l6 years of service at sea,
while no has done duty on shore 231h
years. He is one Of the strictest dis
ciplinarians in the navy, and for that
reason not overpopular with under
officers and crew. Men who have served
with him do not hesitate to say that no
is born strateeist, fighter and clear
headed and skillful commanding officer.
He is firm believer in the truth OF the
old maxim "Nothing venture, nothing
have" and has always been ranked
among the most daring Of American
naval officers. But with his readiness
to take chances there has always been
exhibited the saving qualities OF good
Judgment and horse sense. No better
man could have been found to under
take the task of annihilat<ng the Span.
ISL. .Asiatic squadron in its stronghold.
Socially Commodore Dewey is much
liked. He is one of the finest looking
men In the navy, which Is saying Q
great deal, and has sometimes been
known as "Gentleman George" the
same sobriquet which was long applied
to the late George H. Pendleton OF
Ohio. He is great clubmsn and .
huntsman of no mean repute. In riding
to the hounds no has often distinguish
cd himself, while as daring horseman
he probably has no superior in this
country. He IL also an all round athlete.
All in all, Commodore Dewey is Of the
stuff that heroes are made of. and it
may interest some of the fair readers Of
The Herald to know that he is wild
over. New York Herald.

BOTHER THE POWERS /

1t Is reported that the powers Of
Europe have again been appealed
to on behalf of the Spanish honor,
which means that if the powers
ever have the impudence to inter
vene they will suggest that Spanish
honor may be only saved by turn
ing over to its account the sub
stantial real estate which Uncle
Sam has already taken and will
take. Thus will real estate and
sentiment inevitably be mixed up
and under the circumstances, we
guess Spanish honor will have to
slide.
Bother the powers There is
no reason to expect a threatening
attitude toward the United States
on their part. The day for that
has gone by, even if such a day
were ever possible. Dewey at Ma
Mia gave them something to think
about in the only language that
apparently one or two OF them are
able to understand. England, OF
course, would join in no such
piece of impudence, and Russia
wouldn't either. AS against the
rest, the forty-fve commonwealths
of the United States, with the ter
ritories thrown in for good measure,
make concert of powers on this
hemisphere toward which the So
called military nations of Europe
are probably not at all inclined to
behave bumptiously.

THE PHILIPPINES.

While battle news or rumor is a
trifle slow, everybody is discussing
what shall we do with the Philip
pines.
With the flag planted by
Commodore Dewey flying over the
city of Manila, the Philippine
Islands are a possession of the
United States, as rightly and
legally as any state or territory.
They are the spoils of war and to
the victor in war belong the spoils.
We do not know much about our
new possessions in the far Pacific,
but what little we do know indi-
Gates that they are OF great value.
Manila is called the finest har-
Dor in the world, and the city
itselfis a large and hourishing COM
munity. The island of Luzon
which has the chief city of the
Philippines with its magnificent
harbor is larger than the states OF
New York and Massachusetts
together and has a population of
5000, 900. In the Philippines
archipelago of unknown numbers
there are several other islands OF
imposing area and considerable
population. The climate is tropi-
cal and is said to be highly favor
able to agriculture, and besides
the islands are not without min
eral resources.
What we shall do with the
Philippines ought not to offer a
very serious problem when their
possession is unquestionable. They
are certainly well worth keeping
if we do not care to do anything
else with them.

THE CUBAN CAPITAL.
Belief That It viii BE Established ss or
Near Matanzas.

Belief That It VIII Be Established at or
Near Matanxas.
In high Cuban quarters the opinion
prevails that President Masso Of the Gu
ban republic and his cabinet will soon
remove from Sancti Spiritus, where
they are thought to be at present, to the
neighborhood Of Mstanzas, with q view
to establishing the seat of the Cuban
civil government at or near Matanzas.
1t is said, however, that this will de-
pend much upon the instructions car
ried by Lieutenant Rowan. U. s. A., to
the Cuban commanders, and the nature
of these instructions is not disclosed.
1t is intimated, however. that one Of
the first results is likely to be the trans
fer of President Masso and his entire
cabinet to the Cuban coast and the set
ting up there of complete civil or
ganization. One of the advantages Of
this move, from the Cuban standpoint,
is that it will give the Cuban civil gov
ernment q most distinct identity and
will advance tho recognition of its in
dependence. This independence con-
tinues to be sincerely hoped for at an
early day by the Cuban authorities in
Washington, and they are anxious to
assume more official status with the
authorities here than they occupy at
present. Washington Star.

the ANNExA TloN ABsuRDITy.

The unfortunate spectacle that
the city government of Providence
is making of itself to induce the
good folk Of Johnston to give up
the richer and more compact part
of their territory, naturally arouses
more amusement than anger on
the part of our friends across the
border.
It is very unusual for a larger
community to 60 chasing after a
smaller one to contribute to its
grandeur. Usually the smaller
community is the petitioner for
admission into the larger. to secure
obvious advantages. The advan-
tages to be secured to any adjoin-
ing community from annexation
to Providence are not today as
clear as they once might have been.
If the compact part of Johnston
Is taken, the residents may count
upon having their valuation and
their tax rate both increased as
the FIRST celebration of annexa.

no danger. The government ol
Providence can't grab them as

Ono of the Azores rendered TO America

The friendliness of the Portuguese to

ests in the islands. Secretary Long, In
acknowledging the receipt of the offer,
states that diplomatic negotiations are
necessary before country can take steps
toward acquiring coaling station in
another country's territory. He does
not say that such negotiations are under
way or contemplated.
AS it now seems probable that great
battle will be fought in the mid-Atlan-
tic, there is chance to test the friendli-
ness of the islanders still further, for
should one Of our ships become dis
abled while thus far out from port she
would have to make port in the Azores
to repair the damages and take on coal
and water sufficient to enable her to
make home pott--a privilege existing
