The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-05-09
Will Require Thirty Thousand
Soldiers TO Hold It.
NINE MILLION PEOPLE
GREATEST CONQUEST EVER EFF
FECTED BY ONE BATTLE.
The Mariannes, the Pelews and the
Carolines Go Along With the Phil
ippines and We Have the Right to
Hold Them All-Foreign Nations
Are Interested.

Chicago, May "a special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
The representatives of the foreign gov
ernments are taking an intense inter
est in the conflict between the United
States and Spain. They are specially
concerned at present in the fate of the
Philippines and discussing the POSSIBLE
ity of interference by the powers. The
consensus of opinion seems to be that
if the United States should conclude
to retain possession of the conquered
islands in the Pacific, the European
powers will have no cause to interfere.
Attention is also called 20 the fact
that with the capture of the Philip
pines the United States can also claim
the Marianne, Pelem and Caroline Is
lands. A foreign diplomat whose opin-
ion is entitled to consideration, in dis
cussing the situation, says:
European statesmen are very much
gratified to note that the United States
appears determined to handle the Phil
ippine question ably and strongly.
When the newspapers first asserted
that only 10000 soldiers were to be sent
to reinforce Admiral Dewey and make
,
considerable uneasineSS was felt
1T would be a physical impossibility
TO police 8,00O,OO0 or 10000 900 inhabitants
of Spain's oceanic colonies with that
number of men,. Under good military
government it would require 10000 for
administrative purposes alone. The
proposition to transport $4,000 soldiers
to this conquest is more like business
proposition.
ut may surprise some Americans to
know that Dewey's victory carries with
it spoils of war probably larger than
was ever decided by the issue of one
battle. The future value and influence
of this conquest is almost incalculable.
Studying the situation as it exists. we
must assume that with the fall of the
Philippines. the United States will
claim as their due, all the natural re-
suits of such a capture. BY this one
victory the United States acquired at
least the right of disposal of the des-
tiny of more than nine millions of peo-
pie.
Together with the Philippines go the
Marianne Islands and the PelemS and
the Carolines. The Philippines have
an area of $50 square miles; the Ma
rianne or Ladrone islands. have 40
square miles. and the Pelews or Caro-
lines have 1.450 Stretching eastward
from the Philippines. these groups ex-
tend about 45 degrees of latitude. A
little further to the north and east are
TIE Hawaiians. Should the United
States then build one of the Isthmian
canals. she will not only control the
ocean passage. but in the most strate-
gic portion of the Pacific ocean she can,
as it were, cross that vast expanse OF
ocean upon her own stepping stones.

ON TO HAVANA,
On To MANILA
Eighty Thousand Men to In
wade Cuba at Once.
REGULARS GO FIRST,
THEN THE VOLUNTEERS
All Details of the Great Expedition
Have Been Arranged.
Volunteers to Be Rushed to the South
As Quickly AS Trains Can Carry
Them-American Flag Will Soon
Float Over Havana-Mobilizing
Troops at San francisco For the
Occupation Of the Philippines
City of Pekin Not Yet Arrived.

Washington, May s.-The Washing
ton Post tomorrow will say: Between
go, 600 and $4,000 men will be landed on
Cuban soil at once. They will wear
the uniform of the United States, and
they will not return until they have de
feated the Spanish forces on the island
and the American flag fioa$s proudly
over Havana as it does over the ruins
of the Cavite fortress in Manila harbor.
This jis the idea of the military ad-
visers of the administration and the
president approved the plans.
The first section of the army to in
wade Cuba will be the $4,000 or the 49,
600 troops that are now assembled at
New Orleans and Tampa. They are all
regulars and most of them are men
who have seen actual fighting on the
plains. They are seasoned, disciplined,
effective. They will be followed at once
by another army of $4,000 volunteers,
who will be concentrated at southern
ports as quickly as the trains can carry
them. and will be transported as fast
as the necessary ships can be collect
ed. 1t is estimated that it will take at
least 300 vessels to carry this immense
army to Cuba. Nearly everything that
floats has already been secured by the
government, anu 1851 llShI IHC NhCS
were hot in all directions, directing con-
tracts to be closed Immediately in all
the principal seaport towns.
other details of the great expedition
have been arranged. Within As hours
there will be 1000 wagons at Tampa,
and Il 600 mules. Several hundred am
balances will also be hurried to Tampa.
They may be needed. Battles are not
all like the one which has just been
fought in Manila harbor.

PORTO RICAN INDEPENDENCE.
Seventy Thousand Men Will Take the
Field Against Spain.

New York, May S.-Tbe Herald to-
morrow viii say: Members of the
Porto Rico revolutionary junta in this
city have received advices from the
West Indies, stating that the natives
of Porto Rico have risen at Junicas and
Balamar, and that upon the arrival of
the United States fleet, 10000 men will
take the field against Spain.
According to the letter from the
island, which has just arrived, the feel
ing in the entire island outside of San
Juan is one of hostility to Spain, and
the capture of the island by this coun-
try will be welcomed by the better class
of residents. Robert H. Todd, the sec
rotary of the junta, said last night that
the Porto Ricans have only been wait
ing for a favorab BILE opportunity to
throw off the yoke of Spain. Personal
~, am in favor of the independence
of the island, but the majority of mer-
chants, to my knowledge, prefer an
nexation to the United States. They
fear an independent republic would
soon become like Hayti and San Do
mingo. and assert that the property
interests of the island would be safer
if under the wing of this country.
of course, l cannot advocate any
thing of the kind. The junta has been
for years working for the independence
Of Porto Rico, and we shall continue
on the same line. If the United States
takes possession of the islands, how
ever, we shall raise no objection.
Hundreds of Porto Ricans who are
reYolutionists have been obtaining arms
recently by volunteering in the service
of the existing government. They are
ready to fight against Spain with her
own arms at the first favorable oppor-
tunity, but they will not fight for Spain
against the United States.
Our people are determined to get
rid of Spain now for good, and it is
secondary matter with us whether we
are Independent or are annexed to the
United States.
General Blanco has endeavored to
mislead the Porto Ricans by sending
them reports of victories against the
American fleet When the truth is
learned in Porto Rico there will be
great rejoicing and Admiral Sampson
will have all of Porto Rico at his feet
the moment he has captured San
Juan

PRAISE FROM LONDON.
English Press Elated By Dewey'5
Great Victory.

London, May 9.-The comment on the
battle at Manila. as the details come
in. is universally fiattering to Commo-
dOra Dewey and the American navy
The Times says: The destruction
Of the Spanish fleet was complete as
any achievement recorded in naval an
nails. Commodore Dewey showing him
self worthy alike of the great tradi-
lions of the United states navy and OF
his kinship with the race that produced
Nelson"
The Standard says: Commodore
Dewey has evidently taken as his m .
del for dispatch writing that laconic
British sailor of famous memory, who
reported a decisive naval victory thus:
Engaged enemy yesterday; captured
ships as Der margin.
The Daily News says: Commodore
Dewey's dispatches, in their concise
ness and modesty. are in accordance
with the best naval traditions. The
battle establishes a record among con-
tests of the kind. for one of the COM
batants destroyed the whole fleet OF the
other without himself suffering any loss
whatever. The vict0rs carried he
whole JOB through with worimanlike
manner 1t is especially worth nouing
that the discipline of the American
ships is reported to have been per-
feet; for generally Spanish authorities
and some independent critics thought
