The Be ginning OF the End.

One month ago we said: "The
first duty OF the Government is to
order our navy to proceed to Cuba
and Porto Rico. With these ISL
ands captured the affair will be
over and Cuba iree."
We also said ol the torpedo boats
at the Cape Verd Islands which
had inspired such terror among the
sensational alarmists in this coun-
try, but which have since crept
back to Spain, followed, it is now
reported, by the entire remainder
OF the terrible new armada, that
''It is doubtful If these vessels ever
reach this side. They were not
built to cross the ocean. The cap
ture or destruction of their convoy
ships would leave them helpless. "
1t was likewise said in the same
article: Goal is as necessary to
modern warships as powder. They
cannot move or fight without it.
SPAN in Cuba is 4, ,ooo miles distant
from her supplies Of coal, and the
moment we seize Cuba and Porto
Rico her feet will be at our dis
posal. Is it not lunacy to suppose
that her other ships will cross the
ocean to fall into our hands after
the war is practically over7"
Havana has been blockaded for
nearly three weeks. San Juan, the
principal harbor OF Porto Rico, has
bv this time been invested by Ad-
miral Sampson, and with no Span
ish ships on this side Of the ocean
the main portion of his fleet can
return to assist in the reduction OF
Havana. And at last the army is
moving in full force, under the
personal direction OF Gen. Miles,
to invade Cuba and in co-opera-
tion with the navy to capture and
occupy Havana.
When these two operations are
completed, as they may be within
a very short time, the war will be
over. Whatever fleet Spain may
muster, it will never venture
across the ocean with no coaling
stations available and with both
Cuba and Porto Rico in our pos
session. II Spain coulc not de-
fend these islands she certainly
would not hope, even in her mad
ness, to recapture them.
AS for the talk OF privateering,
Europe will have something to say
about that, even il Spain's bank
ruptcy and revolution at home do
not put an end to her ridiculous
bombast about lighting forever"
The retreat Of the Spanish feet
and the movement Of our army
toward Cuba mark the beginning
of the end OF this "War Of L'ber-
alton.

DAILY GrG6hfc-London. April 49,
Herr Won Bulow, the German Minister
for Foreign Affairs, made a statement
In the Reichstag on Far Eastern affairs,
which Will not help to still the feelings
OF disappointment aroused in this coun.
try by the publication OF the recent Blue
Book. 1t is true that Herr Won Bulow
tells US nothing that is not to be found
IN the official dispatches but he brings
our relations with Germany in regard to
the Far East to a focus, and shows us
pretty clearly how much Germany has
gained from us and how very little we
have obtained from her. Three things
we seem to have done, each of which
involved a sacrifice on our part. In the
hrst place we raised no objection to
Germany seizinP the harbor Of Kiao
Chou; IN the second place we have OBJ
tanned no definite and permanent "open
door" assurances consequent on that
seizure; and. in the third place, although
we protested that we would never recog.
nlze any exclusive claims of Germany in
Shantung, we have now spontaneously
made a declaration" that We will not
"encroach from Wei Hal Wei upon our

sphere of interests" What have we
received for all this? Absolutely nothing,
barring number ofexceedinglve ELUSIVE
assurances OF German friendship. Herr
Won Bulow says, indeed, almost boast.

ments with Great Britain" If this is
all our diplomacy can effect when il is
dealing with friends, it is scarcely sur
prisihg that we should have suffered so
much modification when we are con-
ironted with foe like Russia.
1t is, OF course, possible that the British
Government counts on German support
in the future in its Far Eastern policy.
We trust it may not be disappointed.
So far our experience of Germany is that
she does not do much for anybody's
6edHs yea2, and we are afraid that If at
any time we should need German sup.

heavy price would have to be paid forit,

The people of the United States will,
Of course. take as OF excellent auPury
this early token OF our determination to
do our duty as a neutral Power; and
as, hitherto, no Spanish vessel has been
hampered by our vigilance, the over
keen Continental critics who charge us
with being selishly devoted to the in
terests OF Transatlantic Anglo-Saxon-
ism" will, perhaps, revise their hasty
judgment. France has also made timely
provisions against any breach ofneutral-
ItY by its nationals" The regulations
submitted by Mr.. Hanotaux yesterday,
and approved by the Cabinet, are sub
stantially the same as those issued on the
occasion of the last Russo-Turkish war,
and follow very much the lines of our
own policy. Civilized Governments
cannot confine their energies to restrain
ing their own subjects from any particl-
patton in the pending hostilities, or from
giving aid or comfort to the belligerents.
They have to exercise police supervision
over the combatants who come within
their borders, and see, as Well as they
can, that there is no breach OF the peace
near their own shores.
Happily. the United States has volun.
tarily adopted for its own guidance a
policy no less wise thar considerate.
Even for Spanish merchantmen in
American ports a liberal allowance Of
time is given for loading an6 sailing.
The right of search is to be exercised
with scrupulous regard for the rights
and, let us hope, the susceptibiIlties -Oi

suspicion is to Justify any stoppage Of
