Senator Davis Views.

Senator Cushman X. Davis, on re-
turning home from Washington was in
terviewed and express himself in vigor-
Gus, unmistakable terms concerning
questions of public policy. He said:
The surrender of Santiago was a great
victory and ~vindicates the judgment Of
our commanders at the front in alb
staining from a bloody battle. By the
taking Of the city and the removal of
the Spanish army, the Eastern half of
Cuba falls into our hands beyond dis
pute, and is lost to Spain forever. This
will clear the way for tho government
against Porto Rico, which is, perhaps
of more Importance than the siege of
Santiago, being q much more desirable
possession.
"This nation is entering upon a new
era. The flag will not be lowered in
Hawaii, and the fate Of the Philippines
is linked with The destiny ofthis repub-
lie. The consequences of this war will
result in forcing this country to assume
its rightful place among the nations of
the world. In the near future we are
tors in international politics. 1t will
be impossible for us to retreat to our
former policy of isolation.
In the domain of the Pacific ours is
henceforth the paramount power, and
we cannot escape the responsibility.
The future of an unborn empire of the
West, the furthest West that borders on
the East again, lies in our hands.
II believe we shall be equal to this re-
sponsibility. We a take ARE Of all
the possession we may acquire and COM
fortably shoulder all the tremendous
duties we may assume. We shall find
