There is further change which has
come over the relative positions on land
OF the two sides, that whereas the fire
from the American fleet IN the harbor
was that which was most destructive TO
the American army, it will nov be the
fire from the American fleet that Will be
most disastrous TO the Spanish forces
What means of resistance they NAV still
possess, in what General Shaiter himself
describes as almost impregnable posi-
tons, we do not know; but it is GER
tainly a strange fact that an army attack
by land, which has almost exhausted its
possibilities of advance, should have
frightened out the hostile navy into the
arms OF its own fleet, and thereby
secured itself from an inevitable and
very dangerous retreat. 1t looks GER
tainly as If, had Admiral Cervera. when
once committed to the situation of a
blockaded squadron, sunk sufficIen,
ships to prevent the entrance of the
American fleet, and stooa to his guns
IN defense of the harbor and to Wn. that
pohcy would, at least for the moment,
nave been successful. The Americ ans
would have had all the conditions Of
climate against them, and there is no
telling how long the campaign would
have been protracted. Nothing tends
to make less extreme the folly which
committed the last hope of Spain to such
position. The case illustrates the
wonderful good luck which in war waits
upon audacItY. The very boldness OF
the American attack produced a result
on which no one could have calculated
beforehand.

THE Senate refuses to confirm

Wimberly's very bad character.
So after the Senate has adjourned
the President appoints Wimberly

The Regulars at Santiago.

The SATURDAY ReVie70 patroniz-

some raw troops at Santiago, and
they did admirable work, nOtwith-
standing the insinuations of libel
lers in New York to the contrary,
but the bulk oi the forces that

less raw tn n any troops in Europe.
They were professional soldiers,
OF mature years, hardened by long
service on the frontier, and com.
manded by officers who had re-

cal military training oil lifetime.

Compared with rhe American
regulars the young conscripts OF

but it is the concentrated fighting

splendid work at Santiago merely
sustains the unbroken record Of a

1t may be said by some "Why do not
the Americans stop1" The answer is
that that would not make things better
but only worse. Spain had ample warn
ing. The United States were verv
patient. They waited for four years.
Nothing came Of it. Spain pursued her
criminal course-her course OF infinite
oaroarity-during all that time. She

A WORLD CENSUS.

Ills now proposed to secure a complete
census of the worlds inhabitants on
particular day in the year 1900, and
explorers and census takers are to be
sent to every attaInable point on the
globe Tor the purpose. Considering that
the populations of such countries as
China, Persia and Turkey in Asia vary
in estimates by Toe, ,ooo, 900 or zoe, ,ooo. 600
and that the most careful statisticians
are not sure Of Africa's actual population
by 100000 or SO, the proposed task
would seem TO be a formidable one.
The facts are that nobody knows how
many inhabitants there are in the teem-
ing islands of the vast Pacific, OF. even
in the lands OF snow and ice where the
Eskimos dwell. But the attempt to
make the most careful estimate in the
worlds population in the beginning OF
the new century will be none the less
interesting. We may even find fresh
material to bolster the theory Of Nautilus
that the supply OF humanity Is rapidly
approaching the limit OF the worlds
capacity to sustain life. or, II this is
not proved, there will be at least a rich
held tor the economists to demonstrate
that the weaker civilizations are being
crowded to the wall, while the races
that are abreast of modern progress are
slowly and surely taking possession Of
the earth.

A Woman's Suffrage
 Half Century Jubilee

The golden jubilee of the first conven- tion ever held by women, and of which an account was given some time ago, in these columns, twill begin at Washington, D. C., next Monday. the 14th, and con tinue for several days. The New York
 World thus refers to the approaching con-
 vention:
 Fifty years ago woman had no rights
 of any description either in property or
 profession. She couldn't even speak in
 church. The convention will be largely de
 voted to drawing sharp contrasts between

 present proud position. Each state presi- deht will describe the contrast in her state.
 roll call of years will be a peculiar feature, as all the pioneer and younger
 workers will respond to the call of the year in which they became identified with the work for the enfranchisement Of wom-
 en. The sharpest contrast will be that be- tween the gray headed pioneers roll call and the final evening of the convention, when, the highest mark yet reached to- l ward the equality of man and woman | Martha A. B. Comic, member of the Colo | rado legislature, and Martha Hughes Can | non. member of the Utah senate, will | speak.
 Two of the seven women who sat in the | deliberations of the first convention will be here and both are expected to speak. The first convention was not a suffrage convention. It met to ask other rights for
 women than political equality, although a
 resolution advocating it was finally ac-
 cepted.
 Southern women, who were the last to
 recognize the importance of the move
 ment, will be most eloquently represent ed. There are few such orators, men or women, living as Kentucky's Laura Clay descendant of Henry Clay, and states man in every fiber. Miss Clay will proba- ply be one of the southern representatives who will speak before the congressional committees when the women once again make their pleading pilgrimage to the national lawmakers. Miss Clay's brilliant oratory once so impressed southern member of the senate committee that he actually was recorded in committee as
 voting in favor of suffrage for women.
