A CHARGE WITHOUT WARRANT.

"Thr London Times" only does simple justice
TO the United States in declaring that the Span
ish accusation Of ungenerOus and unfair treat
ment Is unjustined: that 1.-THE United States
has not treated Spain more harshly than Ger
"many treated France In 1871, or Russia treat
''cd Turkey in 1873" and that Spain has lost
cher colonies because her colonial system was
founded upon spoliation and tyranny This
Nation has no need to dwell upon the conduct
of Spain which has caused the war and It's
results but regard for the respect and good
feeling of other nations calls for a bare refer
cncc to facts which show the wrongfulncss OF
the Spanish statement. The Spanish colonies
were all IN n state Of more or less active In
surrcctlon before the war began and were re-
tanned ONLY by EMPLOYMENT Of enormous mill
tary and naval forces. and the feeling OF the
inhabitants had been so completely allenated
that there was never a moments doubt whether
the population Of either colony desired or was
ready to risk life for relief from Spanish rule.
That one fact had a controlling Influence In the
final settlement II Spanish treatment had
been such that the people Of these colonies, or
even a fair majority Of them. had been dis
posed to prefer that rule. the case would have
been entirely different But the civilized world
well knows that 1t was impossible for the
United States to throw back under Spanish
! authority populations which had with so much
reason and with such unanimity risen TO get
rid Of II.
What Spain calls spollation, therefore, con-
sisted in taking charge OF what Spain had lost.
| No one yet knows what the United States VIII
do or can do with the populations thus driven
by Spanish misrule to demand some free and
| Just government. SPANS ownership and rights
all were forfeited before the conference nj Paris
! began, and this Nation has simply taken charge
| OF property lying destitute OF proper govern
ment and with no present hope Of attaining
such government save through the establish
ment OF order and peace by the United States.
| Instead OF demanding an enormous indemnity
for the cost Of the war. Germany did this
country pays TO Spain under the treaty con
siderable sum for her actual OUTLAWS In the
territory relinQuished. Instead OF taking en-
tire control OF Pacific islands which Spnin will
no longer be able to hold against any power
| who wishes them TO retain with profit this
| country has left those to he sold 10 any cOun-
| try which may please 10 pay Spain for them.
There are other considerations which The
Times" has not mentioned. but which civilized
nations do not forget For instance there Is
