The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-05-02

The news from the Philippines this morn
for doubt that an important nava battle
was fought there yesterday and hat the
United States ships were victorious. Ac-
cording to the dispatches received through
Spanish sources two of the Spanish cruisers
were destroyed and other vessels of the
fleet sunk to prevent capture. The only in
depreciation to be put upon this is thai the
Spaniards nave suffered a severe defeat
The reported withdrawal of the American
war vessels to the rear of the foreign ship
ping, If true, may mean either that they
were temporarily disabled, or that they
wished to be beyond reach of the guns of
the harbor Notifications, which are de-
scribed as formidable. In any event 1t
seems certain that Commodore Dewey has
won a great victory-one that will have a
salutary effect, not only upon Spain, but
upon the European powers watching the
movements of the United States with yelled
hostility. What the next move will be,
whether Dewey will secure the cooperation
Of the insurgents, will renew the naval en-
gagement with any fragments Of the Span
fish fleet that may be left, or will attack the
forts, are questions that will doubtless be
decided to-day, and about which. at this dis
lance, is is useless to speculate. 1t is
enough to know row that the reputation OF
the American navy has once more been vim
dicated, and the confidence of the Nation in
its defenders again sustained. The honors
are Commodore George Dewey's to-day. He
and the gallant sailors of his fleet have done
their country a priceless service at the right
time.

GERMANY'S

It Is evidently a part Of the Spanish plan
Of campaign to confuse and perhaps fright
en- us with reports from Madrid and other
points of European combinations and COM
plications against the United States. During
the last few weeks these reports have taken
various forms. changing almost daily. There
is no evidence that any of them have had
any foundation outside of Spanish imagina-
ton and mendacity. While they have been
circulating nearly all the governments of
Europe nave declared their neutrality,
which is all the United States could Expect
or desire. Even France has done this, and
that country, for racial and geographical
reasons, would naturally sympathize with
Spain. England, Russia, Italy, Portugal,
Netherlands. Norway, Sweden and Switzer-
land have all declared their neutrality. The
position of Germany differs somewhat from
that Of other nations. Without making a
formal declaration of neutrality she has an
nounced her purpose to maintain strict neu-
trality unless German interests are endan-
gered, in which case she will protect them
against either party. There can be no rea-
sonable objection to this position, since any
government, even though it had proclaimed
neutrality, would be likely to assert the
right of protecting its own interests. There
has been an evident effort in dispatches
from Madrid to distort the position of Ger
many into one of sympathy with Spain. "A
few days ago 1t was announced from Madrid
that Germany had decided not to permit
a bombardment of Manila, and a dispatch
in the Sunday Journal stated that since
Germany has made no declaration of neu-
trality, German factories are not precluded
from supplying Spain with war materials"
Under the circumstances that would be q
very one-sided sort of neutrality, even
though Germany might say the United
States were equally at liberty to order war
materials of German factories. 1t is not at
all likely that Germany will pursue so
equivocal a course as that. There Is every
reason to believe that the German gov
eminent, especially the Emperor, feels
friendly towards the United States and
realizes the importance of maintaining
friendly relations with US for commercial
reasons If no other. Intelligent public senti-
ment In Germany is the same way. In this
connection we call attention to an article
from the Neue Freie Presse. printed in this
issue of the Journal. The Freie Presse is
published at Vienna and is one of the lead
ing papers Of Germany. The article was
translated for the Journal, and, so far as
known. has not appeared in English before.
1t takes a broad view of the case and
shows very strong sympathy with the
United States on racial and other grounds.
As the contest proceeds and its true char
acter and the motives Of the United States
become better understood German sympathy
will become more pronounced. The Teutonic
element in the Anglo-Saxon people is too
strong to admit of a breach between Ger
many and the United States. Neither gov
eminent desires 1t and both will do anything

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

There Is danger that the war the en-
listing of troops may so absorb the atten-
ton Of voters that many who should take
the deepest interest in local affairs will for
get about the municipal elections Of to-
morrow. This is particularly the danger
from which Republicans may suffer. They
are good voters when the offices are ma
tional and of seemingly great importance,
but unless it is something OF a fever-heat
they are not like the Democrats, reliable
voters. OF course, that remark does not
apply to the majority of the Republican
party, but to a minority so large, under or
binary circumstances. as to enable the OPP
position to win a victory by the failure of
all Republicans to do tkeir duty. The Re
publican party would nave saved the coun-
try many setbacks if all the members had
voted at every election.
It cannot be said that municipal affairs
are of little consequence, because municipal
government is closer to the people and the
burdens 1t imposes are heavier than those
or federal and state government. Five
sixths OF the taxes paid by the people are
for ounty, township and municipal pur-
poses. Expenditure for county and munic-
ipai government has steadily Increased dur

WHY OFFICIAL EUROPE is HOSTILE.

The people OF this country should not be
disturbed or r~esentful because public senti-
ment in Europe appears to be against us.
In Great Britain the sentiment has divided
along party lines. The fact that the Sails
bury Ministry and Tory papers have shown
q kindly disposition, has turned the Liberal
party against us. Outside OF Great Britain
1t is very natural that the ruling classes
should be hostile to US. All men who hold
position and advantage because govern
ment is an aristocracy are naturally against
US. They see u menace in a movement
which had for it's object the overthrow of
a privileged class OF officials in Cuba, and
the comforting of power upon the masses.
Any movement toward popular government
in any quarter OF the world is cause of I'M
easiness. The conflict now going on in Ger
many is between the masses and the ~aristoc-
racy. The Emperor, of course, favors au-
tocratic government, while the official party

has been that Spain has not been able to
organize an army which, by employing the
same methods. could have driven every In
surgent out Of the island. The people of
the United States cannot realize that it is
possible for $1,000 well-armed insurgents to
defeat the Spanish army. This, men who
have been in Cuba tell US. is due to the fact
that we cannot grasp the situation; we cam
not comprehend the condition Of the Span
ish army, without discipline, without de-
cent food and in a climate which is more
destructive to men of other climates than
battle. Behind the 5000 veterans in the
Cuban army are thousands of men who will
become soldiers IL they can be armed and
the whole army furnished with field trans
portation. The fact that some part of the
regular army is being put in readiness for
shipment to Cuba gives Importance to the
report that the government will furnish
Gomez and Garcia with supplies and trans
portation which will enable them to take
the aggressive in the field.

ton of any consequence has colonies.
the policy of planting colonies in Africa and
Asia is now In active operation. The official
element seems to fear that the suppression
of Spanish misrule in Cuba will encourage
the spirit Of insubordination in all colonies.
There is no cause for these apprehensions.
1t is necessary that large portions Of the
world be under the control of the more adj
vanced nations because their interests de-
mand 1t.
But while the official and titled elements
in European nations are hostile to US and
sympathize with Spain. there is good rea-
son to believe that the intelligent middle
classes understand the issue involved and
are in sympathy with our purpose to free
Cuba To them we can appeal in the SIM
pie and solemn words with which Repre-
sentative Dolliver closed his speech on the
revenue bill. as follows:
The nation Of America, In the fear of
God, counting all the cost, exacts from
Spain indemnity in full for the abuses of the
past. Not the spoil of subjugated provinces,
but the emancipation of an oppressed race;
not the ransom of besieged cities, but the
nobler satisfaction of raising the flag of a
free commonwealth to keep watch with
tender gratitude forever above the dust of
the u~nforgotten heroes of the Maine.
There is not a country in Europe in which
the masses are intelligent that has not a
majority of silent but liberty-loving people
that sympathize with a nation that is en-
gagged in such a cause as Mr.. Dolliver sets
forth in the foregoing quotation.
