NOT TO BE STATES.

The impression seems to be quite general
that If we annex Porto Rico as we have
Hawaii, both must necessarily be admitted
to the Union as States. There is no ground
for such an assumption. We secured New
Mexico from Mexico fifty years ago. 1t is a
large piece of territory, contiguous to
States. Through it run continental railways,
so that it is brought into close relations
with the United States. New Mexico has
a larger population than have several Ter
ritories which have been made States, yet
it is not State. and it is probable it will not
be for some time, although some of it's
people are very importunate for statehood.
The main reason that New Mexico is still
Territory is the conviction that the mass
of the people are alien in spirit. After near
ly fifty years they are more Spanish-Mex
lean than American They resist all influ-
ences which will bring them into accord
with the United States. large majority
of the popular branch of the territorial as
sembly not only speaks a sort of Spanish,
but its influence is against the introduction
of the language of the land by education.
under its territorial relation. Life and prop
erty have been made secure by federal
supervision-a condition which did not ex-
list when it belonged to old Mexico. The peo-.
pie are not oppressed by taxation or other
restrictions which are often forced upon
colonies. Utah was kept out of the Union
until it had a population considerably in
excess of the number embraced in a con-
gressional district in an old State Utah
was retained in the territorial relation be-
cause of the conviction that its people
gave their first allegiance to church which
had defed the authority of the United
States.
1t Is not necessary to make Hawaii a.
State; indeed, it is probable it will always
continue territory. Porto Rico need not
be made State until it's people become
American in spirit. But the territorial con-
dition involves no hardship, since local af-
fairs will be in the hands of the people, as
they always have been in our Territories.
In the territorial relation the people of
Porto Rico will enjoy a better government
than the island has ever known. In fact
the territorial system of the United States
can be said to be better form of gov
eminent and much more popular in it's fea-
lures than the colonial governments of Eu-
rono

A MILITANT CHRISTIAN.
"BOB'' EvANs's FIRST DUTY TO GOD
WAS TO SINK A SPANISH SHIP,
And His Next Was to BE a Good Sa-
maritan--Caustic Letter from the
Fighting Captain to an Editor.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1-Following is copy
of a letter sent by Captain Evans on July %,
in reply to an article published by the In
dex, at Williamsport, Pa, praising Captain
Philip, of the Texas, for his latter action
prayer" and making contrast between Cap
tain Philips action and what Is referred to
by the paper as the frequently published
profanity of Captain Evans:
II beg to acknowledge receipt to-day of
copy of your paper which you have been
good enough to send to me. am somewhat
at loss to know whether you sent it for
the purpose of calling my attention to the
cuss words attributed to me in the news
papers, or to Captain Philips official show
of Christian spirit in announcing to his men
on the quarter deck of the Texas, after the
battle Of Santiago, that he believed in AL
mighty God. AS, however, you have seen
fit to drag my name in your newspaper, I
hope that you will publish this reply that
those who have read your issue of July %
may also read what have to say about it.
II have never considered it necessary, and
I am sure that great majority of officers
in the navy do not consider it necessary
to announce to their crews that They be-
lieve in Almighty God ! think that goes
without saying We each of us, have the
right to show by our acts how much we are
imbued with this belief. Captain Philip had
a perfect right to show this to his men as
he did; it was simply a matter of taste.
Now, for myself, shortly after the Span
ish cruiser Vizcaya had struck her colors,
and my crew had secured the guns the
chaplain of the ship, an excellent man, came
to me and said: Captain, shall / say few
words of thanks to Almighty God for our
victory?' l said: BY all means do so; will
have the men sent aft for that purpose and
was on the point of doing when it re-
ported to me that Spanish battle ship was
standing towards us from the eastward. My
first duty to God and my country was to
sink this Spanish battle ship, and / imme-
diately made preparations to do so. When
1t was discovered that this ship was an Aus
TRAN, found my ship surrounded by boats
carrying the dying and wounded
prisoners ard others of the crew of
the Vizcaya to The number OF
two hundred and fifty. To leave these men
to suffer for want of food and clothing while
1 called my men aft to offer prayers was
not my idea of either Christianity or re-
ligion. 1 preferred to clothe the naked, feed
the hungry and succor the SICK and am
strongly of the opinion that Almighty God
has not put a black mark against me on
account of it. I do not know whether I
shall stand with Captain Philip among the
first chosen in the hereafter, but have this
to say, in conclusion, that every drop Of
blood in my body on the afternoon of the
Sd of July was singing thanks and praise
to Almighty God for the victory we had
won"

Reply to Criticisms of the Medical
Department of the Army.

Reply to Criticisms of the Medical
Department of the Army.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.--Major and Surgeon
George b. Turney, of the United States
army, to-day made public a statement by
Lieutenant Colonel Sem, u. S. A., chief of
the operating staff with the army in the
field, in which Colonel Sem replies to nu-
merous criticisms of the surgeons that have
come from various quarters, rejecting on
the efficiency, foresight and proper manage
ment of the medical department of the
army during the Cuban campaign. After
paying high tribute to the ability of Sur
geon General Sternberg, he declares that
the head of the department has shown good
judgment in the selection of his advisers,
Colonel Alden. Greenleaf and Smart, all men
of large experience and admirable executive
ability; In answer 10 a recent statement
that the work of the Red Cross was the
only redeeming feature in the campaign he
1.-The surgeon general accepted the legiti-
mate services of the Red Cross Association
and had reason TO expect aid from this
source should pressing contingencies pre-
sent themselves. The medical officers and
the wounded and such have every reason
to be grateful to Miss Cara Barton Tor
and medical supplies. The State of Texas
did excellent work in aiding the medical de-
part. 1t is a source of great regret that
there should be any friction whatever be-
tween the medical department and the
friends and supporters of the Red Cross AS
ISOLATION. 1t must be clear TO every I'M
prejudiced mind that the treatment of the
sick and wounded must remain under the
direct care control and management of the
medical department and that the legitimate
function of the Red Cross is rather auxil-
larry to it than as an independent Organiza-
ton If the greatest amount of good is to
be realized from it. The lack of proper
transportation facilities for the landing of
supplies to the front cannot be charged to
the medical department. The complaint that
the sick and wounded lacked medicine and
dressing material is true to only a certain
extent Some of the medicines were ex-
hausted owing to the unexpected enormous
demand, but they were supplied quickly
as could be done under the existing circum-
stances. There was no lack at any time of
stimulants and anaesthetics There is no
use in denying the fact that Immediately
after the battle the tent and blanket sup
ply was inadequate, but these defects were
corrected promptly

Of this western battery had two large ship
guns, which, in addition to firing in the
harbor. could fire directly over the western

Going down the side of the hill toward
the bay, a newly-made cemetery was found,

The noneffect of the bombardments is not
surprising nor unprecedented, for in every
war for the past two centuries it has been
demonstrated that ships guns cannot eff
fectualy destroy earthworks unless in con-
junction with an armed land force. Three
of the four bombardments of the land bat
teries in Santiago heights took place before
the army came, and if successful, would
not have forced an opening as long as the
mines were in the harbor. A letter found
by one of the officers in a tent near the
western battery says that the orders when
the ships began to fire, were to get in the
trenches and stay there. The shooting at
the western battery was exceptionally good

before further action shall be taken. If
'Agninaldo shall proceed to wreak venge-
ance upon the defenseless people in the
larger islands it will be necessary for some
nation to suppress him in the interest of
humanity. Indeed. it is possible for a semi
barbarian to be so bloodthirsty that Spanish
methods may seem merciful. Now that
Spain has no navy and is so crippled that
she cannot send an army to the Philippines
to restore her rule, it may be necessary for
other nations to come to some agreement
to give the people living there security
against revolutionists like Aguinaldo. All in
all, the present situation and the outlook
is involved in greater difficulties than all
the other questions growing out of the war.
We have not conquered the Philippines by
any means; therefore it would be well to
wait until that event is probable before
rushing into denunciation of the President
for proposing to give the islands back to
Spain.

ASTONISHING IGNORANCE.

In an interview Senator Jones. of Arkan-
sas, is reported to have said that "by the
annexation of Hawaii sugar duties aggre-
eating 100000 annually are lost to us and
the sugar refineries are the only gamers"
Senator Jones has been in Congress we'll
nigh twenty years. He has been in the
Senate since March 4, 1885. He is the chair
man of the Bryan Democratic national COM
mittee, and in a certain sense speaks for
that party. A man so prominent should
rot be so astonishingly ignorant as to an
nounce that the United States loses 50 600, 900
annually in duties on sugar by the annex
alton of Hawaii Can it be possible that
Senator Jones does not know that under
treaty negotiated with the then King of
Hawaii and ratified by the United States
its raw sugars were admitted to the United
States free of duty? Since Mr.. Jones has
been in the Senate the treaty has been ex-
tended and several times discussed. In the
Dingley tariff the Senate introduced pro-
vision in the sugar schedule to the effect
that the reciprocity treaty of 1875 and the
law carrying it into effect shall not be
affected by those duties Only a few weeks
ago the Hawaiian straw was threshed and
Refreshed in the Senate, but no senator
spoke of the loss Of sugar duties by the
annexation of Hawaii. In the course of a
very long speech opposing annexation Sem
ator White introduced an extract from the
speech of Senator Sherman, made in 1894,
declaring that in admitting the products of
Hawaii free of duty the United States had
paid an enormous price for its possession of
a harbor in Hawaii for a coaling station.
Nevertheless, with all this information on
this treaty, Senator Jones tells the country
that it will lose 100000 a year as sugar
duties by annexation! Is it possible that
he is so stupid as not to know of the exist
ence of this reciprocal treaty, after being
in the Senate thirteen years. or is it because
he has fallen into the habit of making I'M
founded statements? Whatever the cause
a United States senator making such gross
blunder should be ashamed of himself and
hereafter refuse himself to reporters. The
senator remains at home so small a part of
the time that nominal residence in Arkansas
need be no excuse for such ignorance.

From his early years Mr.. Gladstone took
the greatest possible care of his health He
was temperate and abstemious; he observed
all the accepted hygienic rules, with some
of his own in addition, including the cee-
brated one OF giving each mouthful of beef
steak thirty-two distinct and separate
chews; he took active physical exercise and
he was careful not to overwork. He died at
elghty-nine. and though he suffered for
months from a painful and lingering disease
that might have been expected to pass by
one of wholesome life and clean blood, his
case is pointed to as a triumph OF scien-
tific methods. Prince Bismarck, on the con-
trary was not abstemious and was regu-
lated by no rules but those set by his own
appetite which was not dainty. Unless all
his biographers falsify he ate enormously
of the richest foods and drank freely of the
strongest beverages He INDUCED in beer,
but beer was a mild tipple and did not
suffice for most occasions. When he made
a public speech he had a glass of
'.schnapps" otherwise known as gin, beside
him, and ever since the newspapers have
recorded his doings in detail schnapps and
brandy and champagne have been the ac-
compartments Of the heavy meats and other
viands that were served TO him several
times q day. He had not been in public
life for some years. but his retirement was
