KEEP ONE ISLAND,
Ex-senator RIackburn's Solution of
the Philippines Problem

inc In11ppineS problem.
Ex-senator Blackburn of Kentucky is in
the city. Mr.. Blackburn while in the SEN
ate, was strongly opposed to the extension
of the territory of the United States be-
yond the American continent, and had he
remained in that body would have voted
against the annexation Of the Hawaiian
Islands.
His attitude on this question is naturally
somewhat modified by existing conditions.
When asked by a Star reporter today to
state his views as to the proper course for
this country to pursue in agreeing to terms
OF peace with Spain, Mr. Blackburn said:
In my judgment it would have been wise
after Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in
Manila to have ordered him home and to
nave allowed his vessels to help form a
Gordon about Cuba and Porto Rico. In
that way We would have been relieved of
any complications over those islands. for
In general way, think we have much to
lose and nothing to gain by such posses
sion. II we had not annexed the Hawaiian
Islands would not favor holding anything
there now, but under present conditions. /
think we should take the island in the
Fh1nppine group with the best harbor-
Propaply the Island of Luzon-and hold it
as a naval station, letting the balance of
the islands go. If there should be any in
ternational complications before the war is
over we may depend upon Great Britain
Win ner 100 warships being at our back
ana IN that event the islands should be
turned over to Great Britain We don't
want them. We now have 5000. 600 of our
population of an inferior race, and that is
enough.
but whatever we do We should have no
Joint interests with any other government
IN the fhilpplnes or anywhere else The
JOINT orotectorate We have over the Sa-
moan Islands should be a lesson in that re-
gard. The Philippines should not be passed
over to Spain until We have collected an

zeal matters as surely as it applies to wa

CAMP ALGER, Va. July IS 1898.
A beard of examiners was convened at
corps headquarters this morning for the
purpose of examining for promotion certain
regular army officers on duty here. 1t
consisted of Lieut. Col. c. F. Roberts, ad-
jutant of the corps. president: Lieut.. Col.
Edgerly, inspector general of the corps;
Lieut.. Col Duvall, chief ordnance officer
of the corps; Col. Girard, chief surgeon of
the corps, and Maj. Cook, chief surgeon ot
the LIST Division. Lieut.. Van Dieman, Dist
Regular Infantry, who is now an aid on
Gen. Davis staff, was appointed recorder
of the board.
The officers who had been notified to re-
Port for examination were Maj. E. F. Laid,
U. S. ", quartermaster of the I'd Division
and first lieutenant in the 9th Regular Cav
aliy; Lieut.. Col. Burhan, 4th Missouri, L.
S. ", and first lieutenant in the 18th Reg
ular Infantry, and First Lieut.. Arhem Of
the 18th Regular Infantry. AS the number
of officers examined was small the court
was able to conclude its labors before noon
and to adjourn without cay at that time.
The Fever Situation.
There is a lull in the typhoid fever ex-
element, only two suspected cases having
been reported since The Star went to press
yesterday. Both ale from the Goth New
York-Corp. John d. Clute, Company A,
and Private Charles s. Grace. Company E.
One other case has been reported to Col.
WEIGH of that regiment. but of which the
surgeons have no official knowledge. Lieut..
Fred. H. Wilson of Company Z, who left
for his home in Jam estown, n. Y, recent
ly, suCcumbed to the fever soon as he
left the train. All the patients now in the
hospital at Fort Myer are reported as in
good condition and likely to recover.
Confusion and dismay dominate the ranks
CT the suffers who have hitherto conducted
stands in or about the camp, the order linn
iting the establishment of such institutions
to one for each regiment. The order which
was issued by the commanding officer of
the I'd Division yesterday prohibiting the
sale of certain articles, has been adopted
in substance by the officers of the LIST DE-
vision, SO that the entire camp is now to be
altogether free from annoyance on that
score. Men have been at work in the rain
all morning tearing down the shabby wood
en- structures and carting away the lumber.
BY tonight there will be probably one
fourth only of the number that did business
yesterday. Guards have been stationed in
front with instructions to allow Storekeep-
ers to sell nothing to enlisted men, and as
these men are the particular patrons for
which the stands were established. the or
der amounts to a practical termination of
the business.

The absolute Transparency of Words
worth's nature was often very amusing
to his friends, since it sometimes
brought him to the expression of opin-
ions which seemed Numerically oppos-
ed. Once while he was looking at a
magnificent scene in the lake country
he said to his companion:
"Travelers often make their boast Of
Swiss mountains on the ground that
they are two or three times as high as
the English, but I reply that the clouds
lie so low Oh them that half of them
commonly remain out Of sight, The
other answered, perhaps rather dryly:
"That is true"
He made no defense Of Switzerland,
remembering that it was folly to
Beard the lion in his den,
The Douglas in his hall.
It might be inexpedient to do battle
with the prophet and priest Of English
mountains when he stood on his own
ground.
"You cannot see those boasted Swiss
mountains when the clouds hang low"
Wordsworth continued pertinaciously.
Certainly not"
But after a pause, he spoke again.
"But | must admit, +" he said, "you
know they are there" Had he been op.
posed, he would not have withdrawn
an inch. As it was, his own fairness Of
mind made him retract. -Youth' q Com.

SAILING.


SOUTH WIND.
Bright skies above us,
White clouds drifting overt
Blue spreads the sea, all simmer and flash.
Boom well off and a lazy helm creaking,
Music of ripples, like kingfsher's plash.
Gurgle and splashl
Chuckles the water,
Silver to windward, sapphire to Ice.
Sunshine OF nature,
Skylights wide open
IT'S pleasure to sail on a summer sea,
DUE WEST.
Filing of wind blasts,
Drumming of halyardsl
Beckons the deep where the green waves run.
Sheets close hauled and helm hard a-weather,
Rainbow shot spray flung aloft in the sun.
Rise, plunge!
Dips the bow under.
Mount and away on the back of the sea.
Joy of swift motion,
Infinite distance
'Tis rapture to sail when the winds blow free.
".a
Howl Of the tempest,
Thunder of breakersl
Foam dashing high on a close reefed sail.
Skipping the white crests, leapins the hollows,
Swoop down the wind, like u gull in the gale.
Roll. roll!
Rush the seas after.
Flashes the beacon as homeward we go.
Thrill of the elements,
Soul self assertive-
IT'S passion to sail when the storm winds blow.
