 It is almost impossible to give at the present time the full value to this event of the war. but it is an easy matter to note what will be the effect on foreign nations.

 Those nations that have been lag gard in their sympathy with our ef- forts in behalf of humanity will now accelerate their recognition.

WIDER EFFECT.


 Spectator there is an interesting ar
 ticle dealing with the war with Spain
 in it's international aspects. The Spec
 tator has been both wise and just in
 the article Tn question is characterized
 by good sense and good judgment. Nc
 one, of course, can accurately forecast
 the future. But there are certain con-
 alterations which must be of no little
 assistance in anticipating the remoter
 effects of the conflict upon which we
 have entered. Whether that conflict
 be short or long, it can scarcely help
 of the worlds history. The aim oi the United States is simple and defi- nite. It is to end Spanish sovereignty in Cuba and to restore peace to a wish to go beyond this and interfere in the affairs of Europe, for we have no wish that Europe should interfere in our affairs. Nevertheless, we are mak- AA13 OA ASSS0oAty oA dPpCdl oACO OA IAO international stage, and foreign na- tiOns are bound to be more or less affected by our movements. That these nations are watching the strug- gle keenly cannot be denied. Nor should we doubt that all but two are openly hostile to us The exceptions are Great Britain, which would become our ally if we needed assistance; and Russia, which has so far given no def mite indication whether she will abide by her traditional friendship" or, like France, sympathize with our en- emy.
 No doubt there is an 'irrepressible conflict" between the United States and France and Germany which great ly influences these nations in their at titude towards us. They long for the power to enter Spanish America. Ger many" says the Spectator, "is being eaten up by her millions, and the lands which would hold them all are closed to preserve American reversionary in terests. Brazil would hold five German populations, and is protected from in vasion only by the long shadow which western continent If that shadow is lifted, if, that is, it becomes clear that the United States is at sea only an CT dinary power with which another first class power can contend on equal terms, Spanish America will be in- secure" France remembers the at tempt of Napoleon III on Mexico, and would like to repeat it elsewhere under discussed and little understood Monroe doctrine makes us in fact, whatever we may be in theory, an important participant in the affairs of European And in the long run, of course, we must be able to maintain that doctrine by force if necessary a force based upon our sea power, which is thus only less essential to US than to Great Britain.
 That the United States must win In a conflict with Spain the Spectator does not doubt. American naval off, cers. it observes, have in them ouali- ties which Spanish naval officers do not have.

The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1898-08-06

The deplorable conditions prevailing
on certain of the transports returning
with the wounded from Santiago, have
shocked and angered the American peo-
pie. With abundant means for supply
ing the army with an adequate medical
corps and medicines, nothing short of
gross incompetence or criminal negli-
gence or dishonesty can account for the
wounded being brought all the way from
Santiago TO New York, practically with
out attention. a rigid investigation
should fix the responsibility. There has
been much Jobbcry and favoritism from
the beginning of the war and, as already
stated, the soldiers have suffered as Il
result of it.
