The Same Old Snafn.

Authentic information shows that Span
ish rule in the Philippines has been attend
ed with much the same results as in Cuba.
Instructions have been frequent of recent
years. The natives have repeatedly taken
the field in an effort to drive Spain out.
The fighting at times has been stubborn.
The insurgents. poorly equipped, have dis
played grit of the highest order, and no
little capacity soldiers. Success more
than once has appeared to be almost with
in their grasp.
Who has been at the bottom Of all this ?
We know the story of Cuba. The rascally
and hypocritical Yankees have stirred up
all the trouble in Cuba But for them there
would have been no trouble In that island
at all. The people were very well content
ed under Spanish rule But the Yankees,
with their greedy eyes on the land, secretly
fomented rebellion, and since the outbreak
of hostilities have steadily and substan-
TALLY fed it with arms and provender. The
whole thing is a Yankee trick, designed for
Yankee benefit.
What land grabber In the far east has
been initiating Uncle Sam? Who has been
fomenting rebellion in the Philippines and
feeding it from without? Somebody must
have been doing SO. Surely the natives
would not of their own accord have taken
the field against Spain. Is Japan suspected ?
The Philippines would be as valuable to
Japan as Cuba to the United States. More
valuable. indeed. Japan is an island king
dom. and the Philippines would greatly
strengthen her-would round out her pro-
portions admirably.
The one case is as clear as the other. In
both cases Spain's fault and crimnality
stand plainly revealed. The Philippines
and Cuba alike show all of the ear-marks
of Spanish oppression and disagreement.
In both colonies the people have been rob-
bed right and left, corruption has run riot
in office. and development and growth have
been made impossible. And it is absolutely
essential in the one case as in the other
that Spanish rule be ended in the interests
of civilization.
We make the case of Cuba our own be-
cause the people are our near neighbors.
What inspires them inspires us. We have
moved on the Philippines as one means of
trying TO bring Spain to her senses. She
deserves to be driven from the one colony
as we'll as from the other.

European Tips to Spain,

Some Of the continental newspapers are
ttiil suggesting to Spain q way out of her
difficulty with honor. She is advised 20
cede Cuba TO some other power; or else
break her inevitable fall by surrendering
the island to the Cubans by transfer to the
Pope.
This view of matters leaves out of ac-
Count the highly important fact that. ac-
eoTdins to the American notion, Cuba is
lost 10 Spain. She may not cede it to any,
body for any purpose. The insurgents have
won their fight and the United States has
stepped in TO help organize q stable gov
eminent for the island Any power, there
Gore, that would accept a cession of Cuba
from Spain would simply take SPANS
quarrel off SPANS hands. The United
States would still proceed with it's cam
paign for the establishment OF an indie
pendent government in Cuba, and the new
pretender to sovereignty would get the
same lick that Spain will get II she tries
20 ho,d on.
As for the proposed surrender through
the good offices of the pope. that is purely
fame full. The pope has withdrawn from
TIE ield. He spoke for peace, but when
Spain made peace impossible by declining
the only terms upon which peace could be
ma ta!ned - independence for Cuba - his
