sideration which does him honor and which
also supports the reputation of his country
for openhandedness and magnanimity, re-

fact beyond dispute, and hence the inevita-
BILE edict is that the Spanish flag must
come down everywhere on this side of the
Atlantic. The President makes that en-
tirely plain.
And with this decision necessarily goes
the other decision, that the territory to be
taken from Spain shall not be buIdened

The question of the Philippines is a ques-
ton apart. 1t is one of very considerable
dificulty- At this time American senti-
ment is divided on it. But yet the President
leaves Spain with no just complaint on that
head. There will be excuse for her to
hesitate simply because the attitude of the
United States is not defined to the very
letter.

The pacification of Cuba is to be an Amer
ican task, and that insures that. while diff
ficult it will certainly be accomplished
The work will not proceed on a time limit
No day is fixed or can be for delivering the
island over to those for whom it's freedom
is now sought. The United States Is under
obligations not only to free Cuba, but to
see that stable government is established
there. and so after the Spanish flag is low
cred it will continue in control of the island
until stability for Cuban government is
assured.
The corruption and incompetence of Span
ish officials of all grades in Cuba had much
to do with the breaking down of Spanish
authority in the island. The practices were
notorious, and everybody. from the captain
general down, was implicated. Large pri-
vate fortunes were accumulated In a very
few years. Loot was almost the standing
order OF the day. The customs service in
particular was honeycombed with rascali-
ties The people of the island, therefore
were not only oppressed with unjust laws
and determinations, but robbed by those

bellion, followed naturally and righteously

War as a Geography Lesson.

While the analysts are telling of the
many lessons of The war with Spain,"
relative to the value of battle ships, the
uselessness of torpedo boat destroyers, the
superiority of the American gunner. and
the like. they should not overlook the fact
that this campaign has thus far proved
great geography lesson that cannot fail to
be of benefit to the people who read the
newspapers. The war has carried US into
strange lands. The first decisive step was
taken at Manila, in a region little under
stood and scarcely noted In the ordinary
affairs of American life. There was prac-
tically nothing there of interest to the Cit
izens of the United States. They had
known vaguely Of the rebellion in the Phil
ippines. and they understood generally that
it was there that Weyler put In course Of
training in his capacity as butcher and
tyrant- They had heard that Manila was
somewhere over in the Asian archipelago,
but as to the exact geographical relation
of the group to the rest of the world they
knew little and cared less Dewey's VIC
tory instantly focused attention upon
these islands, and in a few weeks the ma
ton had become familiar with a multitude
Of facts concerning the climate, popula-
ton and resources of the Philippines.
Meanwhile Hawaii, concerning which
much had been known for several years.
had been pressed even more closely upon
public attention by its annexation, and
thus the map of the Pacific became a far
more familiar exhibit than ever before.

Publish the War News Promptly.

From the Atlanta Journal
The position taken by The Washington
Star concerning the Navy Department s
methods in publishing the Sampson reporD
is certainly correct. The public is entitled
to the official news of the departments at
Washington just as soon as it is obtainable.
The Navy Department in holding back the
report of Admiral Sampson did the public
an injustice, and we hope that Secretary
Long will see that such another instance
does not occur.
So far as the general news of the war is
concerned the record will show that the
afternoon papers have been first with
nearly all of it. They have been enabled
to serve the public in this satisfactory
manner by the enterprise of their own war
correspondents and the admirable service of
the Associated Press They have been re-
markably successful in giving the public
prompt war news, and the Navy Depart
ment should emulate their example. This
Is plain duty which we believe Secretary
Long will not fail hereafter to perform.
