How IL Looks in Berlin.

Spain's wealth and power, once
the greatest on earth they are
gone, and on the new cont nent a
new gigantic power makes ready
to take a decisive hand in the
machinery of the earth. II the
representatives Of the decaying
world are resigned to the new era,
we on our part, says the editor OF
the Berlin VOr70aeytS, rejoice at
the change, not that we have any
special antipathY for the Spanish
people or sympathy for the ruling
classes beyond the sea. But in
Spain there is collapsing a State
that sought to rule by keeping the
masses in ignorance, by violations
OF constitutional rights, perjury,
official corruption and brutal mill
tarism. Spain has been left be.
hind-it is the picture of moribund
monarchy.
Beyond the sea, however, we see,
in spite of the corruption OF the
dominant classes, in spite OF the
malignant outgrOwths OF capital
ism, land without the traditions
and sins of the pasta land with
out militarism, with freedom OF
speech and religion-a land that
does much for the education OF the
masses. Contrasted with Spain,
America means progress. Spain's
defeat was a defeat for European
militarism as we'll; Americas vic
tory a victory of the volunteer
soldiery.
In 1928 the United States, then
a people OF about ten millions.
dared to declare the Monroe Doc
trine, and, what is more important,
succeeded in having it respected
by Europe. Today the United
i States is a nation Of more than
seventY-6ve millions, which occu-
pies one of the first positions in the
world. Soon she will send over
the seas, in addition to her agricul-
tural products, the output of her
rapidly developing industries, and
at the turning point ot the century
the youngest Of our countries is
about t. take decisive part in the
disputes Of the world.

it was better fox them TO rot.

the Rough Riders who had been having

miles from our camp. We had hard

got there the fighting was over. and the
Spaniaids had withdrawn. Nine of
Teddy's men were killed. and about fifty
were wounded. We were marched back
and are now quartered at an old engine
house near Formoza.

Spain Respects AguinaldO,

Why should Aguinaldo be the
subject OF hostile denunciation and
contemptuous sneers in the United
States1 All that the man is asking
is to be consulted as to the future
of his country.
There is no perceptible pre-
sumption in that. Ol course he is
not an American. and his ways are
not our ways. But he is brave
and able soldier nevertheless. He
has won many battles against the
SpaniaTds and conducted war in
civilized fashion. Were he one Of
our own generals his victories
would give him a place in popular
esteem second only to that Of
Dewey.
This conqueror, this veteran,
this patriot is a Filipino, and,
speaking for his countrymen, he
asks: "Are we to be handed back
to Spain2"
He is entitled to a frank answer
from President Mckinley, and as
a frank answer has not been given
him, he does wiselY-does what
any American OF sense in his place
would do-when he holds himself
in readiness to resume the fight tor
freedom in which he has gained a
hero's renown.
The scorn for him which is 50
widely expressed in this country i:
equally ignorant and ungenerous
General Aguinaldo has earned the
respect Oi the world, and Ameri
cans should be the last to wish tC
belittle him. He fought with u
against the common enemy, ant
fought gloriously. Spain does no
sneer at Aguinaldo.

CAMPING IN THE SOUTH.

May 1--WE reached Lakeland about
10 am. 1t is beautiful place. an ideal
spot for a camp, We are located on the
banks OF a beautiful lake.
May 23-There is a good deal OF sick
ness in our regiment, but our company
Is pretty free. The trouble is diarrhOea.
The coffee we get is not even roasted,
trouble. 1t is a shame that our Govern
ment does not supply us with roasted
coffee. We have covered the ground in
our tent with dry pine needles, and we
are now much more comfortable and
clean.
May So-We have received orders to
prepare to break camp in order to go to
Tampa. am glad OF it, for this looks
like going to Cuba
May 3I-Reyeille sounded at J am, we
had breakfast at 4 O'Clock, aud at S we
were ready to start. but we had to wait
until II before the train arrived. When
within few miles of Tampa we had TO
wait five hours, and then march to
Tampa in the hot sun, carrying eighty
pounds oi baggage. There were empty
baggage wagons that might have been
used. and the regular army officers said
that it was an outrage that we have been
treated in thA manner. Many Of the
boys were overcome by the heat, and
when we halted many more dropped to
the ground. Alter this experience we
had nothing to eat.
Iune s.--We received our Government
paY for May today, SGI9o.
June S-Ordered to break camp anC
go aboard train this morning, and W,
are now aboard the VIgIlancia. We
have been stored away in the hold, anC
it IS a veritable pig pen. We have nc
facilities, not even tor washing our faces

He Has GO be the Goat.

Alger seeks to evade reponsibil
iry for the decimation Of our army
by starvation and disease with the
cowardly charge that the press
wants a scapegoat and has taken
him. He adds: "But l refuse to
be the goat"
Of course he does. That is en-
tirely characteristic of him. But
there is no way for him to escape
the condemnation he so richly
merits. AS the head Of the War
Department it was his duty to
know that TascallY contractors
were poisoning the soldiers with
decayed food, that insufficient hos
pital supplies were sent to Cuba,
that camps were being located
to enrich railroads in sections
where the water supply was in
fected. and that the sons OF politi-
clans, notoriously unfit, were Sc
curing important staff appoint
ments.
By exercising the slightest de-
gree OF intelligence he could have
known OF these outrages, and il
was in his power to stop them,
But with a characteristic dIsposi.
ton to shirk his duty he persis
emily ignored the situation, anC
now that the horror OF it ha!
shocked the country and brought
an imperative demand for his res
ignation. he attempts to shift th'
burden upon other shoulders.
Alger owns lumber camps, wher
the foundation Of his great iortun
was laid. AS they are financial,
successful, he must have directe,
their affairs with great care an
skill.
II there is a failure in one {
these camps, whom does he hol
responsiblee Certainly not one c
two OF his minor employees, but tn
man he has put in charge.
President Mckinley place
Alger at the head OF the War d,
partment. and he must answer fc
the incompetencY of his subord
{ mates.

The New War Cloud.

Some of the Administration OF
gans admit that the despatch Of
reinforcements to Gen. Otis has
been hastened by disturbing news
as to the attitude OF the Filipinos.
Others either ignorantly or dis
ingenuousIy point to Aguinaldo's
assurances OF confidence in the
great American Republic" as proof
that there need be no apprehension
oftrouble unless we decide to give
the islands back to SPAN.
Unfortunately for this theory but
fortunately for the information of
our people, Aguinaldo has preVi-
ously made known his eXpecta-
tlons. In an interview on Sept. 10
he professed "undying gratitude to
the Americans" They came to
the Philippines, he said, "to fight
the Spaniards only" Ito destroy
the Spanish squadron, to be exact),
"and now that they have finished
the task it is expected that they
will return to America" He ex-
pressed his "unwillingness to be-
lieve that America will demand
reward TOR an act OF humanity"
In a speech before the Philippine
National Assembly, on the day
before, Aguinaldo thanked the
friendly nation which had set the
historical example OF liberty and
had assisted a downtrodden race
in its long struggle for freedom"
These uttcrances explain the
Fnipinos' expectations. They give
the basis Of Aguinaldo's conf
dence.
Ifthese expectations are doomed
to disappointment-if this "conf-
dence in the great American Re-
public" is to be destroYed--if we
are not content with taking the
naval rights and commercial priv.
ileges that we need-there will be
trouble. There are warlike tribe:
and capable leaders among these
natives, as the Spaniards have
learned to their cost.
Are we to make war upon then
"a war not OF liberation but o
subjugation, not for freedom bu
