Halicarnassus, and conquered Asia,

Another thing we must get fixed is
a national law concerning divorce.

is that instead of state laws on this

There is nothing in the proposition which
Spain has made to the United States in
dicating that the former sues for peace. II
Is simply an inquiry to ascertain if the
United States is prepared to negotiate for
peace. 1t is a proposition to talk about
the terms of peace 1t will not check the
military operations now in progress. An
armistice while discussion regarding terms
goes on is not to be thought of. What
might have been done a little over three
months ago to prevent war could not now
be thought of by the United States. Then
we demanded that Spain retire from Cuba
That is not enough now; we must have
Porto Rico to in some measure indemnify
US for our heavy expenditures. Besides,
the American people have come to the con-
clusion that the interests of humanity de-
mand that all of SPANS possessions out
side Of the peninsula where the home gov
eminent is located, shall be taken from her.
1t is quite probable that the people of this
country would hesitate to assume the con-
troll of the Philippines, but they are united
in the opinion that they shall not revert to
Spain.
The probability is that Spain will enter
upon discussion of the terms Of peace rid
ing very high horse. Its spokesman
will, doubtless, propose all sorts of fantastic
terms, indicating that the Spanish states
men do not realize that Spain has been
beaten as no other nation has been beaten
in three months war. No time should be
wasted in discussing the future of Cuba or
the possession Of Porto Rico. On the con-
trary. Spain should understand that our I'LL
timatum involves the immediate pulling
down of the Spanish flag in Cuba and Porto
Rico and the early retirement of Spanish
rule from the Philippines. There should be
no delicacy in making known our purpose.
What shall be done with the Philippines
does not now enter into the discussion.
Compassion should have no place in deal
ing with Spain. Among nations it is GRIM
inal, and settlement should be of the quality
of the sentence which a judge pronounces
upon criminal
1t is we'll to listen to what Spain has to
offer, but there is little reason to believe it
will accept the ultimatum which this coun-
try and the civilized world expects this
government to make. Nevertheless, the ac-
ton of Spain is the beginning of the end,
which will be FASTENED by pushing the war

Everybody wants the naval heroes to be
properly rewarded and the great unin-
formed but enthusiastic public has tumul-
tuously urged that every man who dis
tinguished himself be made an admiral, or
at least, a commodore if he held neither
of those titles already. Now that it is I'M
derstood, however, that the promotion of
these men, Hobson for instance, pushes back
other officers who have waited long for pro-
motion and have only lacked the opportun-
ity to do equally daring service, a good
deal Of demurring is heard in quarters where
were lately heard the loudest demands that
the heroes should be recognized. The Amer
leans are a fair-minded people, and the in
justice of rewarding men, no matter how
deserving, at the expense of others equally
worthy, if less prominent for the moment,
is quickly recognized. 1t is felt that the
naval system of promotion is faulty and
that some other method of rewarding merit
should he devised,

The safe landing of the advance guard of
General Miles's army of invasion in Porto
Rico adds another to the successful opera
tions of the war. The rapidity with which
the expedition has been organized and pros
ecuted to it's present stage is highly credit
able to the energy and executive ability of
all concerned. The surrender of Santiago
was completed on July II and General Miles
sailed from Siboney for Porto Rico on the
evening of the 21st. The part of the ex
petition under his immediate command con-
sisted of about 5000 men on transports con-
voyed by an adequate force of war ships.
The sailing of other parts of the expedi-
ton from Charleston. Tampa and other At
lantic ports has been so timed that General
Miles must now have in hand a force of
several thousand men, which will be ma
terially increased during the next few days.
Thus, in the short period of ten days from
the surrender of Santiago. the scene of ac-
tive operations has been transferred from
Cuba to Porto Rico, a formidable expedition
has been organized of which a considerable
part has reached the point of destination, a
tions established and the first steps taken in
a campaign which will undoubtedly end in
the conquest of Porto Rico.
The landing place selected by General
Miles indicates in a general way his plan
of campaign Guanica is small village
with a good harbor on the south coast of
Porto Rico, about fifteen miles from Ponce,
the second largest city in the island, and
about seventy miles from San Juan the
northern coast. The latter is the objective
point, and it is probably Gen. Miles's plan of
campaign to move northward across the
island, and, in connection with another
force which will land on the north coast. to
corral the Spanish army in San Juan, which
will then be attacked simultaneously from
the land and sea side. His first movement
will probably be for the capture of Ponce,
which is defended by 1900 or 5000 Spanish
troops and this movement may not be made
until the arrival of General Schwans force
of about 4cO0 men, which sailed from
Tampa On the 21st. The important feature
of the present situation is that General
Miles has effected a landing safely and es-
tablished a base for further operations.

Punishment for ScOvel.

After giving Mr.. Scovel's case a little
more attention we have come to the con-
clusion that perhaps, in the interest of army
discipline and effect on the common sol
diers. he should be rebuked for his I'M
fortunate zeal, and we therefore timidly
suggest that perchance offended dignity
would be soothed if Mr.. Scovel were taken
out by a file of privates and publicly kicked
mot too hard, but just hard enough to
justify him in lying down to reflect for a
few days. Mr.. Scovel, furthermore. would
have the satisfaction of knowing that his
name would appear in connection with this
interesting function and that doubtless
pictorial journalism would reproduce with
more or less faithfulness his heroic bearing
while undergoing the modern torture OF the
boot. The more we ponder this suggestion
the more it appeals TO our sense of a fair
and delightful compromise. Greatly as it
would pain us to see a fellow-newspaper
man kicked, we believe that Mr.. Scovel,
more than any other. is entitled to all the
blessings that may accrue from this priv
iege and has earned the proud distinction
of presenting himself for the honors of yell
low Journalism.
