Adjutant General Richards received
a letter. wednesday. from Governor
Powers, in which ne said that he was
very glad Of the efksctual way in which
the general cared fosahe sick members

the. hospital train. la9t week. He also
said that IL any more money was
needed he would zee that it was
Forthcoming.
General Richards received word that
the hospital train containing 172 men
and six officers left Ringold, Ca. at
$50, Tuesday afternoon. and was pre-
ceding the troop trains to Augusta. No
further particulars as to what was to
be done with them were furnished and
General Richards is in the dark as to
whether they are to be allowed to 60 to
their homes or remain in hospital or
camp.
He arranged for beds in the Maine
General Hospital and the Eye and Ear
Infirmary and has ordered DIR. May

be ready to join the train at a mo-
ment's notice and examine the men to
send them to the hospital.
In the revision Of the game laws
Commissioner Carleton has come across
some very peculiar and absurd laws
passed many years ago. Fair samples
are found in the laws OF 1862. One chap
ter prohibits the taking of pickerel in
CobbOsseecontee Great pond during
the time between the first Of April and
the first of July under a penalty Of
from 81 to IS, one-half of the fine re-
covered to go to the person informing
and the other half to the town in which
the prosecution is conducted. Another
law is the prohibiting of the use of
nets in Rangeley and Mooselucmagun-
tic and the taking Of fish by means of
anything otherwise than with a spear
or hook. Both these laws have never
been repealed except by implication
and are fair samples of over 100 laws
Of similar character.

FIERCE FIGHTING.

Fuller accounts of the fighting before
Santiago show it to have been fierce in
the extreme. Our own soldiers fought
with a stubbornness and persistence
that were irresistible, while the Span
iards fought with a courage and cool
ness that were surprising to the Amer
leans. When they retreated it was
slowly and in good order, and it is
said their officers handled them in the
ablest manner. The fighting on both
sides was such as to make the battle
memorable. AS yet Santiago has not
been taken, but it will be, though at
great loss of life.
Our soldiers were at a decided and
great disadvantage in one respect and
that was the powder they used. They
were compelled to use the ordinary
powder that burns with a great deal
Of smoke. The Spaniards used smoke
less powder. The consequence was that
they could locate the Americans very
readily, while our soldiers found it
very difficult indeed to locate the Span
iards. Not TO furnish our soldiers with
smokeiessi powder is to put them at a
disadvantage in every respect We are
very much behind the Spaniards in
this respect, no matter how much we
may be in advance of them in other
matters.
Not only did the Spaniards fight well,
but they seem to have shot with an
accuracy heretofore unheard-of; their
guns were handled, apparently, as well
as our own. This is, indeed, revela-
ton, and if it is to be that way at
Havana much greater care must be ex-
ercised when that place is attacked
than has been in the past.
After Santiago is taken there is Ger
vera's fleet to deal with. This is GER
tain: it will never emerge from San
tiago flying the Spanish flag.

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S TASK.

Admiral Dewey appears to be man
of as much tact and discretion as of
bravery and dash. His situation at
Manila is one full of grave responsible
tiles, one in which it would be very
easy matter to make a false step, one
in which it is exceedingly difficult for
him to follow such course as will
conserve every right of the American
government and not give offense to
difficulties is to deal with the insur-
gents in such way as will attach
them to American interests and make
them feel that they are identical with
their own.
Admiral Dewey has been heard from
under date of June q, and he Is await
ing reinforcements. Parts of his dis
patch are not made public, being of
such nature that they cannot be di-
vulged. But it is stated that he has
been particular to avoid committing
the government to any particular line
OF action respecting the future of the
Philippines, or to do anything that
would embarrass General Merritt in
framing a policy to meet the needs of
the case when he arrives. He has
made no official pledges to the insur-
gent leader, though he has been free
to sound his praises. This is all as it
should be. When General Merritt ar
rives he will find the situation practi-
cally the same as when the sun went
down on the evening of May 1.
Admiral Dewey thus far has proven
himself TO be the right man in the
right place. If the reports from Berlin
and elsewhere are at all to be relied
upon the situation at Manila is so deli
cate that nothing but the greatest
bravery and GOODNESS can avert SER
ious complications with Germany, and
possibly the precipitation of a conflict
right there Evidently the German
declaration of neutrality is not to be
taken as a disavowal of future de-
signs in the Philippines. Thus far
American interests have been in safe
and capable hands. All that seems to
be needed is that American authority
shall be fully backed up with troops.

TALES OF THE DAY.

and who was fired with military ardor
when the war. came Young Corbin sug-
gested that he thought he could serve his
country as well as some of the other

might be, but he couldn't get a commits
sion through him. If the young man
wanted to 20 to war he would have to
find his own way. The young man did
find a way He went out as a newspaper

son asking him to read a certain dispatch
from Tampa. The adiutant general sent

which he has not yet given expression.
read a well-written and vigorously ex-
pressed description of the mistakes in
connection with the Shafter expedition.
The young reportorial critic did not
spare anybody. but pointed out
wherein the business of the war depart
ment might be much better managed. 1t
is a question in army circles whether the
young man hasn't seen the old man and
gone him one better on the father and
son business"

THE PHILIPPINES.

In the delirium of war fever some
men are shouting that the American
nag must never be lowered where once
it has been raised.
That is the silliest sort of sentimental
rot History shows that our natlonal
banner has been raised in foreign lands
and taken down. No disgrace attach
ed. as the purposes of the invasion
were accomplished.
The temporary holding of the enemy
property, real and personal, and all the
men and invaIds, captured in war, Is
not a topic for discussion. 1t is war
itself. But the permanent retention OF
men, women and children, houses.
farms and families, taken in war, is
quite another matter. 1t is matter
that requires the decision of Judgment,
rather than of sentiment.
No government can afford to annex
territory simply because it has oeen
taken at the cost of life. 1t may cost
a great many more lives to guard and
hold it. 1t may be heritage of trouble,
a bone of contention, hotbed OF
war.
To make the Philippines part Oh
this republic would necessitate the
maintenance of a large standing army
there. 1t would involve this country
in a colonial system which no popular
government is prepared to handle. 1t
would result in adding to our poDula-
ton $500, 0G0 people who are "diametri-
cally opposed to US in thought, in So
cial conventions, in ethical STANDARDS,
and in political liberty"
How are such people to be governed
according to the republican idea?
Would an American insist upon holding
this great mass of aliens in subsection
without granting them the privilege
of citizenship? Such a course would
not conform to the idea of American in
situations.
Unless the natives could be required
to pay taxes, their acquisition would
be decided loss. To compel them to
pay taxes and allow them no repre-
scEtation would be to mock our Declar-
alton of independence. To treat them
as wards on their own lands. in order
to protect them from Spaniards, to take
them in our pity as we took the In
dams, might look well, but the dwind-
ling, dying race we are still driving
from pillar to post, and from reserva-
ton to corrall. right here at home.
shows what may result from such con-
sideration.
What should ultimately be done with
them. it is impossible at this time to
say, but this is certain: There is no
need of retaining a white elephant on
account of the sentiment attached to
his capture.
