COlOreI Volunteers,

The proposal to make a large use of the
colored citizens in the second call for troops
is meeting with favor in many quarters and
it may be said that the evident Justice OF
the plan has appealed to those who are
familiar with the situation. The prestige
Of the colored fighters in the regular army
is such as to recommend the plan to the
favorable consideration of the President
The infantry regiments composed entire
ly of colored men-save, of course the
commissioned oficeTs-have won honors by
their brave work on The western frontier
and by their excellent discipline In the
more peaceful routine Of camp life. Phys
ically the reasons for such a step are sug-
gestive. The peculiar immunity of the COL
ored man from such diseases as those to
which the American army might be ex-
posed in Cuba and other tropical and semi
tropical stations recommends them for such
service. The local material already organ
lied in the shape of four companies affords
an excellent nucleus for this proposed regi-
ment from the District and Maryland.

The Speakers Alleged R.a.o,

What purports TO be an explanation of the
reason why Speaker Reed Is disposed to
prevent the consideration of Hawaiian an
nexation at this time reaches the public by
a somewhat indirect route. The intimation
is that the Speaker fears that the annexa-
ton project will serve only to confuse the
issues upon which the members of the
House are about to go before the country
for reelection, and that to interject the
matter into the political field at this time
would seriously injure the party's prospects
next autumn. This is a fiimsy excuse. 1t
can not be accepted for moment 1t would
be worse politics for the republican party
to go before the country with the annexa-
tion project in its present shape than for it
to hold Congress in session here through
ratification of the annexation treaty or the
adoption of the joint resolution. The vital
need of the union of the two republics is
iow apparent to all thinking people The
war has demonstrated every theory hither-
to entei tained by those who have consid-
cred the acquisition OF the islands as wise
procedure. 1T has likewise revealed new ne
ceSsities that could not be anticipated An
neXation was never SO urgently needed as
today, nor was ii ever commendable in
the eyes of all intelligent Americans. For
block the way to consummaton of this
purpose by maneuverinS for early ad-
journment IN order that the candidates for
reelection may hurry to their homes to
fix their fences" is folly of the first order.

Commodore Sclley's report that he has
the Spanish ships securely cornered in San
tiago harbor is welcomed by the waiting
nation There is some question yet as to
the exact number of ships now in Santiago
it being hinted that there may be there
now only two of the four principal vessels
composing the fleet. Cervera is confronted
at present with force sufficient to de-
stroy him even If he has with him all seven
of the vessels that lsft ST. Vincent. 1t is
suspected that his coal supply is low. A
British collier has just been captured un-
der circumstances strongly suggesting that
she was headed for Santiago. doubtless
there to recoal the Spanish fleet. This adds
to the suspicion that the enemy is in bad
way for this important supply. 1t is there
fore just possible that the Spanish admiral,
finding himself cornered by a superior
force, has concentrated his coal from the
four ships upon those two that are in the
best condition and seeks to slip safely out
of Santiago harbor and away. This action
would save two cruisers for aggression,
while abandoning two to follow the fate
of Santiago part of that city's defenses.
But nc Information is al hand to throw
light on the suggestion frequently made
of late that the fleet was at some indefinite
date and place divided for strategic pur-
poses.

The Columbia Temporarily Disabled.

The accident to the cruiser Columbia
which may remove her from the scene Of
action for a month. fortunately comes at a
time when there is little likelihood Of a
serious need for the ship in offensive opera
tions. If 1t be now established that Ger
vera's ships are in Santiago harbor 1t
would seem probable that there Is small
chance Of a naval engagement calling for
work from vessels Of the Columbia class
The establishment of this fact is generally
taken to mark the beginning Of the cam
paign Of invasion. in which event the most
effective work is to fall upon the heavy
battle ships for bombardment and convoy
purposes and the small. light craft for dis
patch and miscellaneous requirements. OF
course the vessels of the Columbia class
are always highly useful but the work now
in hand to be done Is such as to render her
disab!ement of minimum consequence. 1t
has been long time since naval vessel
fouled a merchantmen and the renewal Of
the experience is not pleasant. even though
the damage to the war-ship was compara-
lively slight. Fortunately the collision
though causing the total loss of the liner
cost no lives and the damage wrought does
not In the least affect the ultimate efficien-
cy of the cruiser.

But she did not succeed. The insurgents
were stronger in numbers and capacity
than she was prepared for. Beaten in tie
field. she then adopted tactics of negotia-
tion and intrigue, and has carried them
to the point Of Offering everything to the
insurgents but the lowering of the Spanish
flag. She withdraws her characterization
Of them as bandits, addresses them as
brothers. and soiicits their cooperation
against the United States, which Is de-
nounced as 'the common enemy"
The United States became party to the
controversy through sympathy with the in
surgents and through belief in the truth of
their assertions that Spanish rule was un-
endurable. Spain has confessed judgment
as to the nature of her rule by Offering to
change ii radically. But the offer has come
too late The insurgents spurn it in every
form. and the United States now has a
case of its own against Spain. Even If the
insurgent chiefs in Cuba and the Philip
pines could be bribed-but they cannot be

No Manila Every Day,

The Manila victory has proved to be at

Every body applauds 1t. but the unthinking

Not the Thing of an Hour.

1t makes us sad to think how much en-
ergy we have wasted in the vain attempt
to make the people of this country under
stand the need of military prepare alton, to
which the whole nation has at last awak-
ened with a start. All now realize what
an ineffabe amount of rubbish Is spread
over the pages of the Congressional Record
in the debates on military AMI naval bills,
affording damning evidence Of the inca I,ac-
ton.
1t should be settled at once that this ia
not a matter of ninety days, and our plans
should contemplate military action extend
ing over years, otherwise we shall adopt
hand-to-mOuth methods that invite dis
aster. We have learned how difficult It is
to hasten the assembling of volunteers:
work OF training and :nstructing and sea-
soning them for the hard work of cam
paigning.
Few outsiders have any conception Of
the obstacles that have stood in the path
of the general of the army In getting an
army into shape. Not few OF the Ma
tfonal Guard have been gent to the several
rendezvous without even the barest sort
Of equipment. Governors have even kent

caliber but the right one. and In some m

Spain is now attempting TO buy up the

lions Why should she be believed?

termination were taken No abuses of soy-
crEment were confessed. No reforms were
even limited at. Spain took the ground
simply that her authority had been chal-

her plain and only purpose was to put them
down with drastic measures. Had she sue

puted. yet the experts question the entire
feasibility Of the project for submerging the
craft and directing her course beneath the
surface while retaining sufficient power to
rise to the surface. discharge torpedoes at
the foe and then escape into safe waters.
The situation at Santiago suggests that the
field of experiment might readily be widened
to the probably certain demonstration Of
this boats fitness or unfitness for the ser
vice for which 1t is designed. The main
purpose of the government Is to render
these vessels now cooped up in the harbor
of no further use to Spain. This may be
done with the means at hand. either by
forcing the passage and lighting them or
blockading them to prevent their escape
The Holland, in theory, could make Its way
beneath the surface of the water up the
crooked channel of Santiago harbor. among
the submarine mines there planted. ana so
into the vicinity of the enemy's ships. 1t
could then discharge series Of torpeIoes
without much danger of detection. thus de-
stroying the ships. Or it might conf1ne its
operations to the project Of counternlining
the harbor channel to make way for the
American ships in an attempt to force an
engagement. For this work the Holland is
said to be peculiarly adapted. Thus the
opportunity Is limitless to resolve all doubts
as to the value of this unique craft.

The New Memorial Day.

Memorial day has never before had the
significance that attaches to it today.
Heretofore the occasion has been based
solely upon the valorOus deeds Of men who
fought In the past whose sacrifices for the
nation were finished. whose lives had been
laid down. whose memories were revered
both in a sense of gratitude for the great
gifts freely given for country's sake and
also in the hope Of strengthening the spirit
of patriotism among the younger citizens
OF the republic 1t has BEEN indeed a day
of memories
Today. however. there comes into mind
as the usual ceremonies incidental to the
occasion are observed. a thought of new
responsibilities new duties. new sacrifices
Tine responsibilities that were faced in 1861
and that in the four years following yield
ed harvest of grief and bitterness in the
death of many thousands of brave men,
have once again appeared quite insist
ent. though in changed form and relations.
The nation is again at war.
Heretofore this day has been observed
by the two sections of the country that
Were opposed to each other thirty odd
years ago in a different spirit and for diff
ferent purposes. The south has lately
been following the example of the north
in decorating on this day the graves of
those who fell in the civil war each side
marking with ceremonies of grief and re-
spect the occasion set aside for formal
expression of appreciatiye memory. Grad
ually the barriers created by that awful
strife being torn down to make way
for a broad American patriotism that
knows no sections. 1t is in this spirit of
brotherhood that Memorial day should now
be observed. and in the formal rites today
1t Is to be hoped that there will be every
where apparent disposition to put far
aside the old rancOr to make place In the
hearts of all men for the sentiment of hope
and faith in the future of the land.
The nation. thus engaged in commemorate
ing the services of the heroes of the sixties.
should dedicate itself anew to the cause of
united allegiance to the principles upon
which the republic is founded The war
now being prosecuted is for the same cause
as that which was championed in 1916 by
the American colOnists, and that which led
to the civil strife in 1861. the cause of hu-
man liberty The colonies of 'I6 have de-
veloped into nation, the opposing sections
OF the sixties have become a unit people
and government homogeneous, strong and
great.
When this war shall have ended, when
Cuba shall be freed from the Spanish woke.
then indeed will Memorial day broaden in
