OF the Charlestons starboard broadside
battery was the first response. Instantly
the port gun answered. The echoes beat
back from the cocoanut covered cliffs Of
Orote peninsula and flung themselves
against the hills on the mainland of the
island. Back they came, diminished in
force but increased In numbet, and
caught the deep booming of the guns as
the Charleston continued the salute. Soon
all the harbor was filled with noise, and
occasionally, as 1t died down a bit, came
the strains of the "Star Spangled Ban

ring of eager cheers from the thousands
of soldiers and sailors who watched the

The Wars Trial Balance.

An interesting computation of the
estimated cost Of the war with Spain
has been made by the New York Sun,
which puts the total at s943, 600, ,O0O sub
divided as follows: Current war ex-
penses, $400,OOO,OO0; state expenditures,
S15,000,000; private contributions, Sl5-
100000: claims growing out of the war
for which this government will be-
come responsible, S20,000000; loss of
soldiers productive labor ESTIMATED on
the basis of 100000 citizens withdrawn
for one year from peaceful industry
in which the average earning capacity
is $4,000, Sl0O,000,000; interest on war
debt to maturity, s9o,OOO0OO; pensions,
SSO0000,00O and the Maine, $3,O00,OOG.
OF these estimates the only one which
seems overdrawn is the item relating
to pensions, but it is based on the
theory that at least one soldier will
have been employed in the present war
to every ten soldiers employed in the
armies of the North during our civil
war. Pension expenditures growing out
of the civil war, already made or in
sight, aggregate $500, 900 600; and the
Sun thinks that in view Of the gar
rison duty which our troops will have
to perform for long after peace is de-
eiared to tenth of this sum may safe
ly be added $4,000, 900, bringing the
cost of pensions in the present strug-
Gle up to $300.oOO,00O. "The nation"
says the Sun, lis not going to be less
generous with the veterans of it's war
with Spain than IL has been in the
past" which is very true; but it is to
be hoped it will better protect its gem
erosity against abuse than it has hith-
erto been accustomed to do.
Altogether it perhaps is not far amiss
to consider that to abolish the nuisance
OF Spanish sovereignty in our neigh
borhood and clean up the ruins will,
by the time the work is completed,
have cost us at least a round billion
dollars, not taking into account expen-
ditures on police work and internal i'm
provements in Cuba for which we shall
expect ultimately to be rapaid by the
direct benehciares when they shall
have come into stable statehood This
is one side of the account. The other
Will appear when, after reconstruction,
we shall perceive how much our COM
merce with Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines will have grown in conse-
quence of our part in freeing those is
lands from bondage, and also to what
extent the prestige coming to us by
reason of the war with Spain will have
facilitated the sale to foreigners OF
American manufactures.
Omitting altogether as inestima BILE
in dollars and cents the moral consid.
erations involved, it seems within
bounds, judging from trade returns oi
the past, to predict that within five
years our commerce with Spain's ex.
colonies will aggregate not less thar
5000, 100000 per annum and very pos.
sibly more. In 1892. under Spanish re-
strictions, it was considerably more
than half this sum; and If American
energy does not at least double Span.
ish results in the garden isles it will
bitterly disappoint our expectations.
At this rate we should soon be repaid.
