THE PROPOSED WELCOME.

The enthusiasm of our citizens over
the expected visit of the American
soldiers is at a white heat. In fact it
has side tracked their better judg-
ments. Preparations of the kind re-
quired are better made, when put in
the hands of a very few, with power
on their part to call in assistance. The
situation is peculiar. There is no as
surance that the American ships will
call at this port. There is a decided
opinion among some cool headed men,
that they will not call, inasmuch as it
would involve a loss of nearly three
days on the voyage, and time counts
in war measures, as the Spanish Ad-
miral discovered when his "manana"
policy kept him from moving to Subig
bay, where he could have fought the
American fleet with greater advan-
tages. A stop will not be made here
unless there is a reason for it which
is at present unknown to anyone here.
The theory of the preparation should

but execute no part of the plan until
a vessel is signalled, and her com
mander advised with Should no yes
sci appear, time only, and no money
will have been wasted. The wheel
horses" in all celebrations here are
the commercial houses, who are lavish
in contribution. 1t is however, an
unjust tax on them frequently, and be-
comes burden. Very many who shout
for the most generous expenditure con-
tribute nothing.
The generosity of the commercial
houses is prompt and large, and the
racial lines are down, and this is graft
flying.
Any suggestion which interprets
the war into a part of the policy of
extending American empire should be
suppressed. This war is one for the
sake of humanity, and not for con-
quest, or annexation. The more clear
ly this line is drawn, the greater and
stronger will be the United States in
enforcing her foreign policy in the
future.

WHERE ARE WE?

1t will do no harm to take a little
reckoning of our position at the pres
ent hour, in which we are, to all in
tents and purposes, one of the belli-
gerents. The Americans dominate
here, and are at one with their own
countrymen, in sustaining this war for
humanity The enthusiasm and
liberality in making preparations for
the reception of American troops
shows that the blood is up. and the
love of victory is intense.
But we must remember, that the
war is one to remove the terrible
misrule of the Spaniards in Cuba, and
to stop the terrible cruelties inflicted
by them on the Cuban people. For
months past, many thousands of these
people have been starved to death,
and many thousands, if not hundreds
of thousands, are now suffering in the
extreme. The American forces are
pushing to their relief, as rapidly as
possible. Relief committees have been
formed in all the principal cities of
the country, and money has been gen
erously contributed.
How far are we. or the Americans
resident here, in sympathy with these
efforts to relieve the Cubans? Why
is it that the authentic, narrowing
accounts of barbarities inflicted on
men, women and children, at the close
of the nineteenth century have no
effect on us, while the prospect of an
armed body of men, passing by to
garrison an enemy's country, COM
mands an unstinted amount of money
and enthusiasm for entertainment?
That which is noble, charitable, Christ
like apparently creates no enthusiasm
whatever. But the project of exter-
minating a lot of ignorant, bigoted,
boastful, miserable creatures, in the
Philippines opens hearts, and purses
without limit. Some wicked philo-
Bophers say that we are nearer to
barbarians than we like to acknOwl-
edge.
A little four years old girl, in Wal
kiki, prayed on Saturday night. After
asking for blessings on all her friends,
she added: God bless the Spaniards
too" The Master had said when he
took one of the children in his arms;
'of such is the Kingdom" etc. AS he
excluded the elders in specifying the
census of Heaven, he probably assum-
ed that the elders would. if engaged
in war with neighbor substitute in
any prayers, a curse for a blessing,
and therefore could not be regarded
as proper citizens of the Heavenly
abode.
Should the troops fail to visit us,
it would not be a selfish plan to use
the funds raised for the hearty glori-
fication of the troops, in feeding some
of the starving reconcentrados of Cuba.

Does Baby
hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them In
