The state department has issued a
very interesting report on the colonial
possessions of European governments,
a report that is very opportune.
The extent of the German colonial
possessions and protectorates, including
the recently leased territory in Kiao-
Chou bay, is 100000 square kilometers
Q,615,5T square miles). The German
empire proper contains only 540,657
square kilometers (335,931 square miles,,
which is not much more than one-fifth
of its colonial possessions. Togo, KAN
eroons and German Southwest Africa
contain, together, s74.1Ss square miles.
German East Africa is nearly two
thirds as large as the last named hav-
ing 5S4,777 square miles. England's coll
onies and possessions embrace 1862. G7S
square miles, or more than eighty-fve
times as much as the motherland.
A comparative table of the extent
and number of inhabitants of the Eu-
ropean colonial possessions shows:

TWO FIGHTS PENDING.

Administration organs continue to
make excuses for the dilatory policy
pursued in the invasion of Cuba. Some
have lost patience with the war de-
partment, and the recent quarrel be-
tween Secretary Alger and General
Miles was a revelation to many who
have been led to believe this country
totally unprepared for the conflict. 1t
disclosed the incompetency with which
stores of provisions and ammunition
had been handled to no purpose what
ever. Alger blames Miles, and Miles
hlames Alger, and they are both about
right.
e Whoever is to blame, the things COM
planned of have been repeated until the
ingenuity. versatility and good nature
Of the apologists have been sorely
tried. The most plausible, and, at the
same time, most trustworthy excuse
yet offered is found in the editorial COL
umns of that staunch Republican or
gan, the New York Tribune. 1t says:
The military and naval campaign
against Spain, which seems to be pro-
ceeding satisfactorily, is not the only
one. nor the only important one, to be
waged by Americans this year.
There are political campaigns in var
ious states for state officers, and for
members of legislatures who will elect
United States senators, and a general
campaign all over the country for men,
bers of a new house of representatives.
There is a ring of truth in that can
did statement which should satisfy the
II
their peace. This Cuban campaign is
rot the only important one to be waged
this year. If there is delay. be it re-
membered that there are two equally
important fights to be made-both for
&C inquest. for spoils, both for greed, I'M
der a cloak of philanthropy.

THE WAR OF CONQUEST.

Provo Enquirer: The colonization by
Americans will eventually mean the an
nexation of the island by this country.
Under the present conditions that could
not well be done. for in the first place the
United States has declared that this is
not a war OF conquest and in the second
place, the present inhabitants OF the
island are not suitable 10 become Ameri-
can citizens. But when the island be-
comes Americanized. as are the Hawaiian
islands, then II can knock at the door of
the Union. and the knock will be needed.
Denver Republican: The area of this
country is so vast and its resources are so
great that it IS not necessary for Ameri-
cans to go beyond their present territor-
ial boundaries to find scope for the full
exercise of their powers. Concerning our
