that research, 1t would be one of the worst
possible violations of good faith and official
honor for any leakage to be permitted from
the court to the public. Even Captain
Peral distinctly declares in his interview
that the Spanish law forbids an official ex-
preston of opinion from him but seeks to
shield himself behind the silly assertion
that he talks unoficially.
This brazen effort to prejudice the minds
of the Spanish people by arguing the case
before it has been fully disclosed in it's de-
tails will serve only to the disadvantage of
Spain 1t will not have any weight with
the American public, confident as 1t is that
the naval court of American officers will
present the case in its exact bearings and
with suff1ciency of testimony to warrant
the most positive conclusions. Indeed, all
that is important about the interview with
Captain Peral, aside from it's disclosure of
bad manners and bad judgment, is that 1t
may be regarded as a statement of what
the Spanish court expects or intends to
prove. and, presumably what it will claim
to have proved irrespective of the evidence
when the investigation is completed. In
advance of an indictment and the presen-
tation of evidence in support of the indict-
ment Spain assumes the role Of one accused
of crime, and Captain Peral as attorney for
Spain pushes in ahead of the prosecution
to present his opening address to the jury.

A Constantly Advancing Course.

Senior Sagasta fouts the rumors of a
change in the Spanish ministry. He de-
clares that these who are now In office
will remain at their posts, however diff
cult and trying their duties may be or may
become. That is rot unwelcome news here.
Our own affairs are in the same hands that
have been guiding them during the most
mop,entous year of the three years since
the war in Cuba began, and they have bot
suffered. On the contrary, distinct ad-
vance on the American side has been made
all along the line.
The record is encouraging in every feat
ure. First came the recall of General Wey
Ter. That was due to the influence Of the
administration. 1t was made entirely plain
to Spain that such atrocities her COM
mander-in-chief had inaugurated and was
defiaItly perpetuating in Cuba rendered his
longer presence in the island unbearaole

him to the letter, but she recalled him.
Attention then directed to the con-
dition of the reconcentrados-Spain's own
subjects starving under Spain's own flag.

feeding the people of another government,

The Maine was sent to Havana for no
other reason but to protect American lives
and property against the threatened upris-

welcome. but Spain entered no formal pro-
test. She saw that such step on her part
would be unavailing. She would not ac-

she dared not resist this recognition of the

Telephone Espionage Anatn.

Inc testimony now being given before
the House subcommittee investigating the
telephones shows that If there be need
Oh further legislation than that already
enacted In the District appropriation bill
such an enactment should take the form
Oh stringent regulation preventing the
teiepnone company from maintaining any
sert or espionage over the conversations
OF phone users. The process of regulat-
iEg the corporation is by no means COM
pleted. for there is evident necessity for
some law or laws that will prevent the
growth Of abuses of the powers casually
IN the possession of the telephone COM
pany. The subcommittee has been told
how even governmental secrets necessarily
i1.trusted to the telephone service are
seized upon by the operators and officials
of the company, and, perchance, hawked
about to the dis advantage of the admins
trative agcEcies of the government New
Ytrkers include this item of protest in
their bill of complaint against the tele-
phone company. One of the largest news
papers recently published a series of i'll
stances of this sort of eavesdropping by
the operators and others superior to them
in the telephone organization. Important
and exclusive news has frequently been
ms-de common property in this manner.
1t Is TO be hoped that the local company
will learn the lesson afforded by the leg
islation already enacted and will so con-
Duct itself toward the public in the future
that it will win the confidence and good
will of the community and through it OF
Congress. In no other way than by such
a course can the company hope to fore
stall further efforts to rid the capital of
what threatens to become a nuisance and
to secure the substitution of a good-nat-
rred, accommodating servant of the people
in the form of some company that is per-
fectly willing to give good telephone serv-

moderate rate.
