After Ponce had surrendered

SIN the prosecution of the war
against the Kingdom of Spain by
the people of the United States,
in the cause of liberty, justice
aud humanity. its military forces
have come to occupy the island
of Porto Rico. They come bear
ing banners of freedom, inspired
ny the noble purpose to seek the
enemies of our government and
of yours, to destroy or capture
all in armed resistance.
s'They bring you the fostering
arms of a free people, whose
greatest power is justice and
humanity to all living within
their fold. Hence they release
you from your former political
relations and. it is hoped for d
cheerful acceptance of the gov
ernment of the United States.
THE chief object of American
military forces will be to over
throw the armed authority of
Spain and give the people of your
beautiful island the largest meas
ure of liberty consistent with this
military occupation.
They have not come to make
war on the people OF the country
who for centuries have been OPP
pressed. But, on the contrary,
they bring protection, and not
only to yourselves, but to your
property, promote your pros

The Bond Issue.

There is a deep-seated prejudice
in the minds of our people against
bond issues.
This is due largely to the fact that
so many fortunes were made by
the purchase of United States
bonds at low prices during the CT
vii war, but there Is no sense in
objections to bond issues in a time
like this, especially to such an is
sue as the government has recent
ly made.
It was absolutely necessary to
raise a large amount of money for
war operations, and the best way
to raise it was the one adop-
ed. 1t was a choice between low
rate bond to the amount of $780,
600, 900 and a forced loan in the
shape of paper money put forth
be the government. The admin
istration wisely chose the former
alternative. 1t also did we'll II
providing that the bonds shoule
be disposed of SO as to place then
in the hands of as many citizens
as possible. Small bidders wer,
given the preference and no bic
for more than S., 500 was accept
ed.
The result was that the new
bonds have gone to 300, 600 indi
viduals is all parts of the country
All the talk about bank syndicate
gobbling up the loan has beel
proved to be pure bosh. A larg
proportion of the bonds went Il
.people of modest means, to trades
men, clerks and workingmen.
The subscriptions for more thai
seven times the amount of bond
offered was a fine demonstration
of the governments credit wit
its own people and the method
of the bond issue were entirely ad
. mirabIe.

Sanitation in Cuba.

The man who sees an emperor
marching straight to the White
House, who studies Washington's
Farewell Address daily as some
thing that fits the present time and
circumstances, who, in a word,
stands against a policy of terri-
torial expansion that was inau@
gurated on a great scale by Thorn
as jefferson in 1S03-even such a
man agrees with the advanced jim
goists, that Cuba must be held by
the government until it is render~
ed immune as far as yellow fever
is concerned, as immune at least
as Vera Cruz or Kingston have
become. There is absolutely I'M
animity from epidemics of yellow
fever in both of those towns, and
they were formerly hotbeds of the
disease. What the English did at
Kingston and President Diaz in
Vera Cruz, this country must do
in the cities of Cuba, particularly
in Havana and Matanzas.
Any proposition to hand over
Cuba to the Cubans or anybody
else, before the coast cities are
thoroughly cleansed and reor-
ganizad. should be stoutly and
uncompromisingly resisted in the
South. This is the South's ops
%portunity to rid itself of a stand
ing menace to its prosperity.
Foul Havana bay has long been
the breeding place of a disease
that has inflicted untold injury
on Southern interests. 1t cannot
bs put in a sanitary condition in
a single year. Cuba should be
held at least five years in order
to do so and in order to test the
sanitary work needed there. To
such a holding the entire South
should stand pledged.An immune

cry turn of the question as tc

A number of white men, whose ages
ranged from eighteen to thirty-six years,
gathered on the pace of Mr.. Joseph Fan
ming, OF the east side of 32d street below
u street, yesterday. and proceeded to make
merry. They had a coupe of kegs Of beer
and were having a gay time. Mr.. Tanning
ordered the men from his property, but
instead of complying with his demands
they became d1sorderiy and showed fight.
He sent word TO the police station and
Policemen Short and Lake went to the
scene. They arrested five Of the party,
William Bresnahan, Thomas Jones, Mason
Stewart, Charles Matthews ard Edward
King. At the staten the men were charg-
ed with trespass and were released on S.
collateral each. The case was to have
come up in the Police Court this morning,
but the matter was nolle pressed. 1t was
claimed that under the present law no man
can be arrested for tresrass unless he in
jures property.
There was some excitement on NJ street
Saturday afternoon shortly before o'clc ok,
owing to an attempt made by Robert Bow

others. had been working in this section of
the city, and We're on their way to the

out and made dash for. freedom up 21.h

nen Lintler and Hewlett joining in the
chase. with Detective Frank Burrows on
his bicycle. The two were finally caught
back of the dump 10 the rear of the old p
street car stables. and taken to the George
town station and locked up.
After THAR recapture 1t was ascertained
that bold plot had been Matched for the
escape Of these two and two other members
of the gang who were evidently afraid to
make the break at the last moment Four
suits Of clothes and a bottle Of whisky
were found secreted on the dump near
where the two were recaptured. showing
that some agree tnent had been made before
the attempt. II the friends of the prisoners
can be discovered they will be arrested.

containing piers for delicate work reQuir-

ranged for optical experiments.
Among the many interesting pieces of
optical apparatus. either secured or or
dered, two are worthy of especial mention
One OF these Is a Nicholson interferometer,
the only one in the south. OF still greater
