Spain and a Money Indemnity.

One, and perhaps the chief reason why
the Spanish newspapers have not protested
against the peace terms proposed by Pres
ident Mckinley is that no money indem-
nifty is demanded The people of Spain
were very much afraid that they would
be called upon for a heavy money in
demnity. The great majority of them are
very poor They are now struggling under
as heavy load of taxation as they can
carry. Before peace terms were proposed
they said: LET the Americans take every
thing. but let them ask no money of US,
for we know not where TO get it,"
If we had demanded large money in
demnity it is probable that Spain would
have hestated a long time before showing
a willingness to accept our terms. She
would not have known where to get the
money. She could not have borrowed it.
and her people are now taxed to about the
limit of their ability to pay taxes. Ii was
a great relief to her government. there
fore, when it was found that our terms
did not include a money indemnify 1t is
doubtful if they regard the loss of the col.
onies as very serious. All of them have
for years been an expense rather than
source of revenue. 1t it not at all i'm
probable that Spain will be more prosper
GUS without her colonies than she was
with them.

Capt AOildgaard of the Swedish-Nor-
wegian government, who went 10 Santiago
with the American army, pays our SOL
diers the high compliment of saying they
are as good as any in the world, and
vastly superior to those of great many
other countries. One characteristics which
struck Capt. Abildgaard forcibly was the
aggressiveness of The Americans, and the
fact that they possess the intelligence
necessary TO give their spirit the best
effect Many of the movements in the
three days fighting were executed with
out any command having been given, or
al least without the soldiers hearing the
commands. The men saw what was the
proper thing to be done under the circum-
stances. and went ahead and did it, quick
~ and brilliantly. The officers We're lead
ing their men, in every case, and often
found it unnecessary to put their ideas
into the form Of commands. The Ameri-
can fighters were thoroughly Zen rap
port" as it were. The fighting Of the
volunteers. however, was a little hanii-
capped by lack Of training.

The Imperial POLICY in Conventions


The positions which both Democrats and
Republicans are taking in their state con-
yentions on what is called the imperial
policy are interesting and instructive. The
Republicans do not seem to be quite sure
whether it would be advisable to favor
that policy or not, though they are try
ing to shape their course so as to be in
harmony with the President.
The Republicans of Indiana, in their con-
vention on Wednesday, adopted resolutions
which conform pretty closely to the terms
which the President has offered to Spain
In the Democratic state conventions a
wide difference of opinion is noticeable. For
instance, the Florida Democrats condemn
territorial expansion, while the Democrats
OF Nebraska, although they favor a Wig
orous prosecution of the war for the pur-
poses for which it was undertaken, say
nothing about territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT
In Texas, on Wednesday, the Democrats
in their state convention had a warm de-
bate on the question of territorial expan-
sion. Mr. Bailey. the leader OF the Demo-
Gratis of the House, offered resolution
policy, and after hot debate which lasted
several hours it was defeated
The only inference to be drawn from the
state conventions thus far held is that
neither party is yet ready to take a de-
cided stand in respect to territorial expan-
sion. While many Republicans of promi-
hence are disposed to go much further
than the President has gone in the direc-
ton of territorial expansion, that is they
want to hold ON to the Philippines the
Republicans in their state conventions are
disposed to so just as far as the President
has gone, and no further. On the other
hand, the Democrats are divided, as is
shown by the debate in the Texas Demo-
cratic convention and by the fact that the
Florida Democrats took a position quite
different from that taken by the Texas
Democrats.

at Santiago, and Porto Rico have been
felt at Madrid and that was the real OBJ

sired and hoped. In resisting the clamor
for movement by sea and land on the
Cuban capital the President displayed
that wise forethought and that solid firm

It is apparent from the reports received
from Gen. Merritt that he regards the sit
uation I'll Manila as very serious. The
Spaniards are not causing him any uneasl-
ness. The apprehension which he feels is
due to the attitude assumed by Aguinaldo,
the msurgent chief. Some idea is gained
as to Gen. Merritrs views Of the situation
from the fact that he has called for $1,000
more troops. OF the 200d0 assigned 10 him
he has received 1900, there are 1000 on
the way, and there are 400 at San Fran
cisco, waiting for transports. There are
only about 7,S00 troops In camp at San
Francisco. Therefore, If the request OF Gen
Merritt should be complied with, troops
from the South might be sent TO Manila.
The more the situation al Manila is con-
sidered, the greater the apprehension be
comes that our government viii have Sc
rious trouble there before the Philippine
question is settled. The Presidents plan TO
have a commission settle the question does
not grow In favor. IN fact, the more it is
considered. the greater the difficulties
which are likely to grow out of it appear
10 be
Some of the ablest men of the country be-
lieve that 1t opens the way to European
interference. Anyway, there are grave rea-
sons for doubling that commissioners ap-
pointed by this country and Spain could
ever reach an agreement. The Morning
News said when the commission plan was
announced that sit was a mistake 1t is sin
cerely TO be hoped that such viii not prove
to be the case. The details of the Presi-
dents plan have not yet been made pub
lie. They may contain something that will
make the plan appear more feasible. At
present, however, the feeling is that the
commission plan IS likely to lead to serious
complications not only with the insurgents
but also with European powers.

Why isn't ii just as well to give the rev
enue marine service credit for what it
does during this war? The cutters are now
working as a part of the navy. it is true,
but at the end of hostiities. if there should
he no change in The laws, the cutters
would become separate service again,
and the navy would get al of the credit
Tor what the revenue marine fellows had
accomplished. Whenever one of the cutters
performs some notable service, as in the
case of the McCulloch at Manila, she is
referred TO as a "gunboat," thus practi-
cally eliminating the old and honorable ser
vice from the printed records of the war.
II may be all right according to the rules,
but 1t is not a square deal. The revenue
people are as much entitled to credit as
their bigger and better paid brethren of
the regular navy.

"A new phase has been given to the rab-
bit scourge in New Zealand by the success
which has attended the experiment Of
freezing the rabbits and exporting them
1t would appear that out of what has
hitherto been an apparently irremediable
curse, an important industry may be de-
veaoped One exporter is said to be in the
receipt of between 1900 and 10000 rabbits
per day, and is paying to trappers and in
wages between $1,000 and 5000 per week
He has 24000 traps out giving employment
to about 500 trappers. His export of rab-
bits last year was about 00,0O0 and this
year he will increase it to 100000. The
scale on which this enterprising exporter
is laying out his plans is further seen in
the fact that he works up into boxes, in
which the frozen rabbits are shipped
about eight truck loads of timber a week
and he pays over $1,000 a month for freight
1t Is estimated that this seasons expor-
tation of rabbits will run to between 5,O00-
600 and 100000 This, at the low price of
cents per rabbit, viii bring in more than
100000 TO the trappers, and the total
amount received in the colony, as the pro-
ceeds of the rabbit export industry for this
season, will be, az a moderate calculation
