cessity gave pointed suggestion of an
Interior design incompatible with the
friendly protestations of the govern
ments agents. The later affairs are
the logical consequences Of this first
false step. Meanwhile the firm Ameri-
can attitude has had its wholesome ef-
feet in Berlin and other European
capitals, and every surface indication
goes TO show that henceforth the
American program in the Philippines
will suffer no interference or hind
rance. A less capable commander than
Dewey, either a more radical or a more
complacent one, would perhaps have
caused serious trouble ere now, by per-
mitting the commission Of overt acts of
intervention, or by resisting them in a
manner which the occasion did not re-
qure. Dewey seems thus far to have
hit upon the happy and effective me-

CrRAN ERECTION.

Word comes from Santiago that
there is a good deal of friction between
our troops and the Cuban insurgents,
and that, as things look, it may be nee
essary to keep a larger American force
than had been originally proposed for
garrison duty. The insurgents have la
bored under a great misconception
with regard to their position in the
Santiago campaign. They have taken
themselves too seriously, and the dis
closure of their real insgnificance has
disappointed and angered them. They
have cherished the fond illusion that
when the city surrendered 1t would be
handed over to their control They
even went so far as to select a COVER
nor.
The idea was absurd, for the conduct
Of the Cubans during the campaign has
not, to put it mildly, been such as to
excite admiration for their soldierly
qualities or confidence in their capacity
as administrators. From first to last
our troops have had to do nearly al
the fighting and all the road making
and furnishing of supplies. Santiago is
an American prize. What disposition
we may ultimately make of the islanC
Of Cuba remains to be determined. Bu
in respect to the eastern end Of thu
island, ii is plain that the task o
maintaining order and restoring pros
perity should remain in our hands a
least for the present, and that We can
not divest ourselves Of the responsi
bility in the slightest degree.-Bostol

SMALL
NIJUMlsILY

The Morning News yesterday print
ed a scare-head story to the effect that
ex-senator Anthony Higgins had Sc
cured from Secretary of War Alger a
specific promise to send the First Del
aware Regiment, United States Volun-
teers, away from Camp Tunnel for ac-
tive service. Relying upon its veracity,
the afternoon papers published the
same statement. 1t transplres that
Mr.. Higgins had nothing to do with
obtaining the promise from the secre-
tary of war. Senator Gray went to
Washington on Thursday for the ex-
press purpose OF having a conference
with Secretary Alger on this particu-
lar subject. lie had obtained the
promise, and written the letter 10
Colonel Wickersham apprising him Of
the good news, when Mr.. Higgins Wis
tied the War Department and had an
audience with the secretary. His mis-
sion there had no reference to the
regiment, but, learning what Senator
Gray had done. he expressed his satis-
faction that such a step was about TO
be taken to relieve the tension existing
at Camp Tunnel.
We cannot conceive that Mr. Hig-
gins was a party to the unwarranted
action of the Morning News in at
tributing to his influence the removal
OF the Delaware troops, nor do we be
lieve that Senator Gray feels particu-
larly aggrieved because Mr.. Higgine
was given a grand Republican hur-
rah for a thing which he never did
but, in our opinion, the credit for the
action should rest where 1t properly
belongs, and that is with Senator Gray
We have sufficient confidence in the
honesty and fairness Of Mr.. Higgins K

this, and that he will disclaim any ant

On one occasion two gentlemen, in

Gladstone was expected, made wager
that they would start conversation
on n subject about which even Mr..
Gladstone would know nothing. To
accomplish this end they read up an
ancient magazine article on some un.
familiar subject connected with Chi
nese semanufactures. When the Favorable
opportunity came the topic was start

with amusement the growing interest
in the subject which Mr.. Gladstone's
face betrayed. Finally, he joined In

THE PENINSULA PRESS

The demand Of the state is general
that the First Delaware Regiment, now
in camp at Middletown, be sent to the
front, and thus given an opportunity
to participate in the activeness Of the
war with Spain. The fact that the
state has but one regiment, and that
this one regiment more than twice fills
its quota under the calls issued by the
president for volunteers. is considered
a strong argument in favor of the as
signment Of the states representatives
in the United States army to place Of
honor and active services.-Every

II is with regret that we learn that
the State Committee OF the Union Re

an outcome.-Sussex Republican.
1t is a fine testimony to the patriot
ism and courage Of the volunteer sol
diers at Camp Tunnel that they long
to get to the front and chafe over the

when he faces the enemy has been

"A STAND AGAINST BRIBERY

Bribery at elections had become so
common in Delaware that it threaten
ed to turn over our state government
to the mercies Of corruptionists OF the
worst type. Jurors were so influenced
by partisan prejudice that justice was
paralyzed and could not reach the Of
tenders. Something had to he done
to bring them within the pale OF the
law. Recognizing that jurors could no
longer be depended upon to stand be
tween the people and institutions OF
Delaware and these shameless and
Wanting corruptionists, and having
full faith in the integrity of the judi
ciary Of the state, the Constitutional
Convention took away from jurors the
right to try bribers, and vested the
prerogatlve in the judges. 1t was be-
lieved that this constitutional provi-
sion, and the laws radiating therefrom,
would DE potent enough to put stop

THE sHIRT WAIST REVENGE.

The recent Utah delegation of wo-

president, Mrs. Martha Burgess Jen-
nings. Mrs. Jennings has for some
weeks been organizing a crusade
against the shirt waist. She did not
want her command to appear at Den
yer in any such undressy affairs. After
much working of her persuasive tongue
she induced her forces to discard the
shirt waist, except for travelling. In the
face Of all this Mrs. Jennings attended
several sessions in the tabooed articles
of wearing apparel, the only woman in
the delegation so attired. 1t was a
transportation contretemps. All her
swell gowns went by express to Den
yer; two shirt waists and a black skirt
travelled with her. Mrs. Jennings ar
rived on time. but her trunks did not
materialize for four days. Hence the
