the premises will have to be changed, ana
that Spain will benefit.
The pro-Spanish Americans consider the
insurgents of no Importance Whatever.
They hold on tenaciously to the views they
expressed when Senior De LONE was m
Office here. They are very glad to hear
that the insurgents have cleared out In a
huff from Santiago. and hope they may not
return. They see in that action an excuse
for ignoring in future the whole insurgent
movement and they advocate annexation
and American control outright and for all
time. These men. IT is true. were content
with Spanish rule in Cuba, and opposed
American intervention. but now that inter-
vention has taken place they want it car
ried so far that both the insurgents and
Spain Will lose. The insurgents are thus
to be punished" by the United States for
Spain's sake. What Spain could not DO the
United States is urged to do.
Both Senior De LONE and the pro-Spanish
Americans will be disappointed There will
be no permanent split between the United
States and the insurgents. The insurgents
viii not become the enemies of the people
who are sincerely their friends. Neither
will the people of the United States deal
the insurgents foul and dishonorable
blow by taking by force or chicanery from
them the home they have been trying to
make free. Spanish duplicity is not to be
transplanted and made to become work
able American policy. American annexa-
ton of Cuba will come about only with the
consent and in response to the desire of the
Cubans themselves

Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Canal.

In the years of anticipation concerning
the construction of a canal connecting the
Atlantic and the Pacific there has coca
sionally been uuessiness in American minds
les. if this canal were actually built under
s Il rican auspices the lack of an outport
in proper relation to its Atlantic mouth
would prove an embarrassment in its con-
troll. Stretching around the proposed ter
minus of the canal on the eastern side is
range of islands of varying sizes, affording
convenient resting points for the navies Of
various Pc ers. England, with Jamaica
and scores Of more Eortherly holdings thus
has a decidedly valuable base OF opera
tiCns. France has half dozen smaller
resting places sufficiently close to be of
service in any demonstrations that NIGH.
be deemed wise or necessary for interna-
tiona1 or commercial purposes. Spain 5
own inSular possessions have never be IN
seriously regarded, because of the weak
ness of her navy and the general decadence
of her power. Germany has unquestiona-
bly, been looking anxiously about for an OPP
portunity to find a foot-hold in this chain
of islands, but without success. Holland
has several holdings in the region. Now
Genes the United States with bid for
Porto Rico, based upon the American sIc-
cess in this war with Spain, and justified
by the existing and prospective commercial
developments of the isthmian situation. 1t
is we'll. Their sfore, to hear in mind the value
OF Porto Rico in it's relation to the pro-
jeCted canal 1t does not lie as advan
tageously IN this connection as does ia
n,aica, yet 1t is in the line of travel from
Europe and commands the situation we'll
enough from the American standpoint.
With our southern coast and perhaps at
some time Cuba as the main base and
Porto Rico an outpost the entrance to the
canal Will be well guarded. These consid-
erations are no-y to be taken into account.
for it is plain that the time for the con-
struction of the canal as an American en-
tcrprise is at hand. after the long, tedious
and costly wait necessitated by engineering
difficulties and governmental hesitation.
Sc me means of quicker naval communica-
ton between the Atlantic and the Pacific
bases than the long ard often dangerous
voyage around Cape Horn is essential. the
trip of the Oregon settled that question.
Three projects stand close together, Ha-
waiian annexation. isthmian canal con-
struction and the securing of Porto Rico.
The last-named item of the new progress
will bear the sarie relation to the canal on
the east as will Hawaii on the west, and
thus all three, resulting from the war win
ST ain, will place the United States in !,
stronger position than it has ever before
ei-joyed with regard to the rest of the
world.

England Wants Watson to Come,

Haroiu Frederic IN Pnliadeiph1a Press.
There is no feeling whatever in England
against Watsons coming over and doing

sires, he would, first of all. take Ceuta and
pledge America to hold 1t forever.
This Ceuta will later become a very

If Watson does come over, there will I'M

credible that either Faure or Brisson will
be moved by this clamor, which the Ell

they did essay action, England would come

We Should Build Speedy Ships.


The naval operations In the West Indies
have shown is clearly as the light that the
capital defect of battle ships Is their lack
of speed. In the great battle fought by
Commodore Schley had the Brooklyn, his
flagship, been absent. one of the enemy's
vessels would certainly have escaped, and
perhaps more Speed works both ways. 1t

AS mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole system

damage they will do is ten fold to the good you
