Chile Is Cnfriendly.

1--WE of the war rumors OF the
~ period is that Chile when she
sees a good chance will strike a
blow at the United States in the Pacific:
not tina she hates Spain less. but the
United States more. If there is any
truth whatever In the story of Chile's
hostile intentions. Admiral Dewey's
performance at Manila will throw cold
water on Chile's ambition. Chile has a
grudge against the United States Of
comparatively recent origin-it seems
but yesterday when Blaine. as secretary
of state in Harrison's cabinet, was put
ting the screws to her. II was In 1872
that the government Of President Bal
maceda. was overthrown a provi-
sional government was established by
the adherents OF the Chilean congress.
The United. States refused to grant bel
ligerent rights TO the provisional gov
eminent. which later conquered Its
enemies. That government. treating
the refusal OF the United States to
grant 1t belligerent rights as a mark of
unfriendliness. tried to make II unpleas-
ant for the United States minister, Mr..
Egan. holding the legation under close
surveillance and arresting persons
coming therefrom, among them Ameri-
cans. Finally. one night, when some
sailors OF the United States ship
Baltimore went on shore they were
attacked by a Valparaiso mob and
injuries We're received by two of them
from which they died. The mob, there
was evidence to show. was encouraged
by officials whose duty ii was To pre-
serve the peace.
The United States government de-
handed satisfaction for this outrage
The conduct of the Chilean government
was so Indifferent to the claims upon IL
tina war was at one time threatened.
The firm attitude Of Mr.. Blaine. how
ever, at last brought the government
10 its senses. The amende honorable
was made. and $4,000 in gold paid "a

the mob. lille would have fought us
then had she dared. II is said that the
Chileans have never forgiven us, that
they do not conceal their hatred of

will think a good any times before she
attacks the United States. She will no
| dare Jump I'm unless we sustain a sue

the ears OF the world haven't heard "A
word from the town. The wires last
night carried u~nconfirmed reports that
the city had capitulated. or been for
chilly captured by Admiral Dewey. The
only warrant for the report. so far as
ascertainable. is the act of the cut
ting Of the cable. When communica-
ton was interrupted the situation
seemed to be this: that the governor
general had asked permission from the
Spanish cabinet to capitulate. and that
the Madrid ministers were to have met
last night to consider the proposition.

will do what Is best 10 be done. He Is
the right man IN the right place. His
countrymen are consumed with curl

eagerly desirous to learn the particu-
lars of Sundays battle and to know
what 10 going on now. but they have
an abiding faith in Dewey's skill and
judgment and rest assured that what
ever he is doing he is u%pholding the
honor and dignity Of the United
States.

Porto Rico.

- ORTO RICO may also join the
w liberty procession. While not In
J actual revolt most Of the inhabi-
tans sympathize with the Cubans and
are themselves anxious to throw on
SPANS CALLING chains. Porto Rico pre-
sents a true picture of Spanish rule.
The island pays Spain this year in axe
s4,374,S74, Of which only $3.50 900 is spent
for the benefit Of the native population.
There are $4,000 Spanish tax eaters sup
ported on the island, and only about
twenty per cent. of the white people
can read and write.
The island of Porto Rico occupies a
commanding position at the entrance
to the Caribbean sea from the North
Atlantic. II Is the fourth of the West
India Islands in area, and lies some $50
miles east OF Cuba, the island of Hayti
intervening Its area is $3.50 square
miles. or a little larger than Yellow
stone county The population is ome
thing less than a million. OF the num-
Der about 800. 900 are negroes, mostly
ex-slaves and their descendants. Slav-
cry was abolished in 1878. The soil is
fertile and the island is healthful, owing
TO its diversified surface and good
drainage. 1t is called the healthfulest
Of the Antilles.
1t has been suggested that as the
United States will be put to a good deal
of cost in freeing Cuba, and has al
ready incurred a considerable expense
Through Spanish maladministration on
this hemisphere. Porto Rico be taken
as an indemnity for these expenditures
and for the destruction of the Maine.

might not be a bad notion. III the ma

is not a good enough neighbor to be
permitted to retain a foothold on this
