4 Word With President Mckinley

a Word with President Mckinley.
Mr.. Mckinley, your fellow-country-
men are waiting with more or less i'm
patience to see what you will do in the
great emergency of the war. They rec
ognize the fact that your opportunity
to make hero's place for yourself in
the history of the republic has never
been equaled save in the cases of Wash
irgton and Lincoln.
What use do you intend to make of
this opportunity? Do you mean to be-
come the personal, non-partisan incor-
ruptible. daring American leader of all
true American people. and register their
will in warning Europe not to inter-
fere with our colonial possessions
wrested from Spain? Do you mean to
recognize and obey the all but universal
voice of our citizenship calling upon
you as Commander-inC Chief to defend
what we have won in fair fight?
Or do you mean to take your place
in the annals of the United States as
the President who threw away the
fruits of the splendid American victory
in Manila Bay, and surrender the Phil
ippines to the misrule and bloodthirsty
oppression of Spain, at the dictation Of
the Kaiser, Franz Josef and the Vati-
can?
In other words, President Mckinley,
are you going to fight or skulk?

SPANS FLAG RAISED AT NIGHT
The Yellow Flax Replaced "Old
GlOry' for q While.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 3.-Residents Of
Newton. a suburb Of this city, we're as
tonished yesterday morning at seeing
big Spanish flag flying from the staff on
the schoolhouse. from which the night be-
fore the Stars and Stripes had waved.
the banner Of the Dons was discovered
by Mrs. Nathan Fritz, who lives near by.
She FASTENED TO Chief Of Police Paterson
and informed him of the occurrence He
hurried 10 the schoolhouse to haul down
the flag, but as the staff is on a cupola
he could not get at IL. Then he called
Walker Snyder John Gumbert, John Gil
roy and William Benniger TO his assist
ance.
They ascended to the cupola Bennin-
ger crawled outside, and while Gum
pert and Gilroy steadied him Snyder
mounted over his shoulders and thence
on the roof of the cupola. But the per-
sons who had raised the Spanish iisg
had broken the rope, so 1t could not be
lowered.
BenninSer procured pole with a hook
at its end with this Snyder tore the flag
from the staff. Meanwhile great crowd
had gathered in the schooIyard, and
when the flag came down mighty cheer
was raised. The Spanish flag was torn
into four pieces and divided among Ben
ninger, Gumpert. Gilroy and Snyder.
Many foreigners live in the vicinity. onl

The President and Peace.

The more the peace suggestions CT
Spain through the French ambassador
are considered the clearer becomes the
purpose Of Madrid. Light is thrown on
the subject by the rumored intention
of Spain to protest against the Ameri-
can occupation of Porto Rico after the
ministry had made known to Wash ng-
ton it's desire to enter into negotiations
for ending the war. 1t is characteristic
cally shrewd. Having schemed and
waited for foreign complications until
it seemed that the United States would.
get possession of Manila and pounce
on Porto Rico, Spain gave notice OF
her disposition to ask for the terms OF
peace. This committed her to nothing.
She would remain free to assert thai
the conditions imposed by this country
were too hard and to renew hostilities.
The United States, on the other hand.
would be at disadvantage II We
should accept this notice as sincere
peace proposal. According to the Span
;sh and perhaps European opinion. we
should be debarred from sending
force to Porto Rico. or. having taken
possession of the island. restrained
from making claim to 1t as conquered
territory. Spain would be at liberty
to make use of our terms to stir up the
feelings of other powers claiming inter-
ests in the Spanish islands.
Certainly there is no apparent rea-
son why the United States, victorious
in every movement. should give to
Spain such a tremendous advantage by
recognizing the intimation of an inten-
ton to enter into negotiations for peace
as making an armistice imperative and
as invalidating all military ach
ments after the date Of Spain's incon-
elusive notice. What the President will
urobably do, and what he has every
warrant for doing, is to acknowledge
the receipt of Spain's request. with the
that when her government
makes the definite announcement that
Spain has had enough and desires
peace, and is willing to trust entirely 10
the sense of justice of the United States
in the matter of conditions, he will
promptly state the only terms on which
we will stop fighting. If Spain fhsn
concludes that she would rather under
go annihilation than submit to the price
demanded. she will be at liberty TO
continue the war The President should
he most emphatic in denying that we
are bound by the mere notice OF Spains
desire to enter into a discuss on OF peace
propositions.

Rejoicing I'm Hawaii.

If anybody had doubt as to the SEN
aments of the people of Hawaii con-
cerning annexation, it must be diss pat
ed by the general enthusiasm with
which the news of the action of the
Senate was received. When the Cop
tics signals could be read American
flags broke out in Honolulu, and as
soon as the messages were trans
mitted TO the other islands all Hawaii
was voluntarily placed under the ma
tional colors. Guns were fired, bells
were rung, there were cheers every
where, and business was entirely sus-
pended. All class of people spon-
taneously entered into the jubilee spirit
Then began arrangements for elaborate
ceremonies when the cruiser Philadel-
phia should arrive, with Admiral Miller
mally raising the Stars and Stripes over
the new colony.
The people of no Territory ad-
mitted to Statehood have ever been
more grateful and happy over the event
than the inhabitants of our new islands
at the crossroads of the North Pacific.
In spite Of divisions on local questions,
all except the few who had something
to gain by restoration of royalty have
been harmonious on the subject Of an
nexation to the United States. That
has been looked forward to as the So
luton Of whatever difficulties there may
have been in the way of peaceful ad-
ministration in the common interest.
1t has been the one means OF escape
from the menace OF trouble from the
rivalries Of ambitious powers. Soon or
late. 1t was felt, these powers would
make a pretext for demanding ruinous
concessions II the United States failed
TO become the actual owner. Another
consideration that favored annexation
was the predominance of American in
fiuence in the islands, most of the peo-
pie of character being natives or the
descendants Of natives Of the United
States. They have continued to take

Typhoid fever at Camp Alger is of
more serious character than yellow fever
at Santiago, though smaller proportion
OF patients are credited to the former dis
ease. OF nine deaths at Santiago on
Wednesday, only four were from yellow
fever out of 1856 cases. Probably If the
patients who died had not been reduced
by malarial conditions, they would have
recovered. Yellow fever is not making
as much headway as the reports of new
victims indicate, for from the 639 new
cases must be deducted the 53S recovered
and returned to duty. This leaves the
net increase l0l. 1t is likely that the
epidemic will be checked soon as the
troops can be sent to a more healthful
locality. This change can be made when
the Spanish prisoners embark for Spain
The contractors appear to be moving as
slowly as a summer cloud, while the
United States continues the costly process
of fattening up the late enemy.
