Has Spain q Future ?


Probably the greatest blessing that
can befall Spain will be the loss OF all
her colonies. They have been the source
OF her troubles, the cause Of her nation
al decline. They have brought the
curse Of gold upon her. They hare di-
verted the energies and the expenditures
OF her people from her own needs at
home. Spain has magnificent internal
resources as yet undeveloped. Let the
energies Of her people once be directed
within, and they will understand what
obstacles have blocked the way 80 long.
Reforms will follow. Abuses will be
swept away. Popular enlightenment
will come. With the passing of Spain's
colonial might will dawn the renascence
of Spain.
As to commercial prosperity, that
should continue upon truer lines under
the new conditions. Spanish CONNER
cial interests in Mexico are now on a
healthier basis than they have been in
Cuba for long years past, for in the
daughter state they are not pampered
by favoritism and privilege. Independ-
ent intercourse with the severed colo
MES will continue, and lines of trade
will shape themselves naturally and le-
ultimately. Ancient rancOr will gradu-
ally disappear and Spanish commercial
energy may be depended upon to secure
room for its exercise. Spain, regener-
ate, will be the mother country for the
nations OF uNramar that speak her
tongue, in the same regard that England
is mother to lands in the seven seas, and
will stand second only to England in
the number Of her children. - From
spanish Traits and the New World" by
Sylvester Baxter, in the. American
Monthly Review Of Reviews for August.

NEW ENEMY At MANILA.

NEW ENEMY At MANILA.
situation = Critical Owing to Attitude Of
Axuinaldo.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-General Mer.
ritt has again cabled the war depart.
ment relative to the situation in Man.
ila, which he finds very unsatisfactory
and dangerous owing to the attitude of
the insurgents. In the opinion Of
General Merritt the attitude of the in.
surgents there is similar to that assumed
by Garcia's Cubans upon the question
Of their right to enter and possess them.
selves Of the city, although in this case
the insurgents are very much more
formidable element, being not only
more numerous, but better armed, filled
with the arrogance following numerous
victories over their Spanish foes. Gen.
eral Merritt, however, indicates that he
win do his utmost to protect the citizens
from the savagery Of the insurgents.
though his task is q delicate and diff
cult one because of the fact that hs
must, while fighting the Spaniards, be
ready at any moment to repel the in.
surgents. The general gave notice that
he was about to combine with Admiral
Dewey in a joint demand for the sur
render of the city to the United States
forces. thus forestalling the insurgents
and this move may cause a rupture. 1t
il possible, in view of the fact that Gen
sral Nerritt's csblegram was sent from
Cavite last Thursday that this move
ment has been made already by the
combined American military and naval
force, although there is some doubt
about this ON account of a statement
from Merritt that he may need all of
his soldiers before attacking.
Still, it is possible that the demand
might be made without being immedi.
ately followed by an attack, which
might be deferred until the troops have
reached Cavite. Up to the date of the
report, General Merritt had with him
about Il, 900 soldiers. So far seven ex.
petitions have left San Francisco, car.
rying soldiers to the Philippines, and it
is the intention to furnish Merritt ut
least 1900 men more than his present

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.

Senate WIN He Csavened - Soon - the
Pssce Treaty IL Ready.
WAsHINeToS, Aug. s.-The Post says:
President Mckinley will call an extra
session of both houses II congress q
soon a. Spain accepts the terms Of peace
offered by the United States.
It has always been understood that
the senate would be convened as soon
Is the treaty Of peace was ready to be
acted upon by that body. The attention
of the president has been called, how
ever, to . situation which makes the as
sembling df the entire congress neces-
sary. This situation can be explained
in q few words.
Under the law which provides for the
raising of the volunteer army that
army goes out of existence as soon as
the war ceases When this law was
framed it was not Tor q moment sup
posed that after the war had ended
there would not be any necessity. OF
keeping the army intact. The devel-
opments Of the war make it Wy evi-
dent that instead of sending che army
back to civil life, fully 100. 90 men will
continue to be needed. 1t Is the present
intention to distribute no less than 5O,-
600 soldiers throughout Ctiba, with SO,-
600 in the Philippines and probably sO.-
600 in Porto Rico.
Under the law as soon as hOstilities
cease, the volunteer army is disbanded,
and the regular army goes back to its
peace footing, thus leaving only ~ 900
men in the service. This is total far
too SMALL for the work that will be re-
quired. Consequently the aid Of con-
gress will be needed to frame new laws
which will keep an adequate army for
garrison purposes. In addition to this
laws must be passed to meet the new
requirements of government in the
Philippines and Porto Rico.

Losing Rusiaess.


By their foolish course in seeking to
avoid the war tax, the express COM
panies are losing business every day aud
piling up trouble for themselves in the
future. They are penny wise and pound
foolish in this matter. Much stuff that
formerly went by express now goes by
fast freight, and the amount of money
transmitted through the mails has
largely increased of late. Business men
are making the express companies feel
the weight Of their displeasure. Their
course is in marked contrast to that Of
the railroad companies, which have
cheerfully recognized the intent of the
law and are putting up their share OF
the burden. II the express companies
only knew upon which side their staff Of
life is fabricated, they would do the
