1t is reason for universal congratu-
latlon that the war is ended (for it
seems safe to assume that it is ended
so early and so happily-for us, for
the Spanish colonies, and, in spite of
her present humiliation, for Spain
herself: for the result makes for civil
ization. There was never a doubt
that it would end with an American
victory; but that the victory would
be so easily and so cheaply won was
not foreseen. Nor were the incidental
benefits foreseen; for there are Incl
dental benefits as great as the main
result itself. Unforeseen, also, were
the new obligations that have been
imposed on us.
The problem of governing countries
not only separated from the United
States, but populated by different in
situations from ours, is s. new f,robie,..
but it is problem that our English
kinsmen have so successfully solved
that we shall be dull indeed if we do
not succeed, with their experience to
instruct us. The present popular
mood regarding this new task, as re-
garding most other large undertak-
ings in which national spirit must
play an important part, seems to be a
deep-seated and safe mood. The peo-
pie, there can hardly be doubt, pre-
fer to retain the territory that has fall
len to them by the fortune of war, and
they do not share the foreboding of
the intelligent minority, whose indiv-
idualism estranges them from the ma
tional feeling, and who see grave dam
ger to our institutions in such addi-
tiOns to our political tasks. National
feeling is safer guide to national de-
velopment than the mere reasoning
process of critical minds. Atany rate,
it at last becomes the only guide.

The great secret of success in road
making and road keeping is to drain
the roads and keep the roads drained
by keeping the bitches open," writes
John Gilmer Speed on How to Have
Good Country Roads in the August
L0dieS' Home Journal. 1.-The old
method was to run a plow through
the side bitches and throw the dis
turbed soil, sod and all, in the middle
of the road. There it would stay till a
heavy rain came to wash this soil
back into the bitches and fill them
up again. If there were money
enough, this kind of thing would be
done over and over again as often as
four times in a year. Where there
were wet spots broken stone or gravel
would be placed in the road and left
for the passing wagons to wear this
metal into ruts. The money spent
was absolutely thrown away.
by the new process all the road
mender needs to do is to provide
bitches and outlets for them and then
so shape the road that the water fall
ing in a rainstorm will run off at once
into the bitches. The water must
not be suffered to run in the road but
off the road. The rainfall, being thus
simply and effectively disposed Of
becomes a most beneficial instead of a
destructive agent. 1t cleans and
shapes and hardens the roadway, in
stead of washing it away and deepen
ing the ruts. When there are wet
places, such as springs, in the road
way, gravel and broken stone will not
cure such things. The water must be
drained off underneath the roadway
and into the bitches by means of pipe
or blind drains. The whole thing is
so simple that any one can easily
master the principles and put the de-
tails into operation

and in good condition. 1t was the
impetuosity of their attack that
struck terror to the hearts of the
Spanish and finally caused them to
yield.
If they had waited until all the
supplies had been landed under the
difficulties which were encountered
the attack would have been made in
the midst of the terrible storms which
followed, and our men would be in
the trenches to-day, dying more from
the effects of the climate than from
Spanish bullets"

captains of the two ships made no
requisition upon the Quartermaster
General for water. The men crowded
on board, apparently believing that
it was their last chance to get home,
and the result was overcrowding, far
exceeding the supplies provided. The
result was deplorable and no one re-
grets the condition of the men on
those ships more than do.

WELLINGTON ON CUBA.
Says Experiment of Independent Govern
ment Will Fail

/
ment Will Fail.
Senator Wellington said Saturday
to a representative of the Baltimore
Sun ti,ss-~ it's as Apparent the real
expense and trouble of the war, so far
as Cuba is concerned, has only begun.
Senator Wellington believes it will be
necessary to maintain large army in
Cuba, probably for several years, and
that eventually the United States will
be compelled to take control of the
island merely because the Cubans
will prove incapable of self-govern-
ment.
The experiment of Cuban indie
pendence, Senator Wellington thinks,
will be tried, but he does not believe
it will be successful. In the mean
time, however, the United States
must maintain an army in Cuba and
be ready at all times to suppress the
first outbreak among the Cubans
themselves. 1t is to be a costly bust
ness for this country, the Senator
says, but it is one of the unavoidable
consequences of the war and cannot
be helped now. If, as is probable, the
American troops suffer from the un-
healthy climate of Cuba, there is
likely to be a general reaction, prob
ably regret that the United States
ever interfered in the matter.
While the war has cost this country
a great deal, and will cost it much
more. Cuba has also suffered in
tensely. There is no means of know
ing how many Cubans have starved
to death since the blockade of Ha-
vana was established, but the condi-
tion of those who survived is said to
be deplorable Their homes have
been destroyed, their families scat
tered, and the restoration of peace
finds them without the means of
re-establishing themselves and with
out the energy or inclination to
resume. hard labor. 1t is anticipated
that the Cubans will not only be
found to be helpless as the result of
the war, but that they will be divided
into many fiercely contending fac
tions, each one led by some ambitious
politician, seeking upon the ruins of
his country to establish the founda-
tiOns of his own fortune.
These are some of the obstacles that
the administration will encounter in
its efforts to establish stable and
independent government for Cuba.
Added to these apparent difficulties
will be others created by the faction
in this country that wishes the effort
to fail. Between the contending par
ties, and subject to the hardships of
life in a tropical climate, without
means of comfort or recreation, will
be the army of the United States pre-
serving order and grimly waiting
until politicians and schemers decide
what the fate of Cuba is to be- The
expense to this country in money will
be enormous; the cost in lives may be
appalling. 1t is no wonder, therefore,
that the politicians view with some
alarm the immediate results of the
war.

900 REPORTED LOST.
Spaniaads Believed to Have Been Drowned
in Philippines.

in Philippines.
TACOMA, WASH, Aug. 30.-The
Hong Kong Daily Press is authority
for the statement that 900 Spaniards,
including is priests, lost their lives
several weeks ago when the Spanish
gunboat Leyte was captured by a
vessel belonging to Admiral Dewey's
squadron.
The Leyte had been stationed in
an adjoining island, where the insur-
gents were numerous and aggressive.
The latter were gaining ground rap
idly and the Spaniards boarded three
sailing vessels in an endeavor to es-
cape massacre. The Leyte under
took to tow these three transports to
Manila bay, where the Spaniards
aboard them were to surrender to
Admiral Dewey, if they could not
land somewhere sooner and reach
Manila under cover of darkness. At
ter the Leyte had towed them down
Parpangas river and some distance
along the coast heavy storm came
up, making it necessary for the gun
boat to cut her tows loose and proceed
to Manila for assistance.
Before getting there she was cap
tured by the Americans the next day,
and an American vessel was dispatch
ed to find the three transports, but
failed to discover any trace of them.
The natives on the nearby coast say
they saw nothing of any vessel. The
Hong Kong Press finally reached the
conclusion that the vessels foundered
with all on board.
