however, was definite, and doubtless
was based on a fear that II would offend
against neutrality between the United

LONDON, July 2s.-The Times pnb-
fishes an article this morning from the
pen OF Benjamin Kidd. author Of "soeial
Evolution" which deals In compre-
henslve statistical manner With the
immense trade OF England and the
United States with tropical and sub
tropical regions.
Mr.. Kidd asserts that during the year
1888, this trade amounted In the case Of
England approximately TO SS90,0O9,OOO
and in case OF the United StatesN to
$3.50 100000. He dwells upon the im-
portance OF the control over these res
glons and says:
"The present war involves the future
government OF two OF the richest ptt.
tIons Of these territories and some gt
the richest on the earth's surfaces; yet
for the most part they are practically
undeveIoped and largely In state o.
anarchy or primitive sayagery, prevents!
ing the development OF their natural Fasi
sources"
ar. Kidd thinks the question one Of
the highest importance to Both England
and America.

SagagtG ministry undoubtedly would
turn quickly toward It. But from TINT
point Of view their case Is hopeless,
Meeting the Spanish overture with
frankness the United States Will demand
that It should be treated In the same
spirit. II a disposition Is shown to par
ley at length this will not be encouraged,
nor is It believed thGt the French am
bassador would be O party to any such
programme. II there must betalk In
stead OF action upon the United States
proposal the dEscussion may proceed, but
absolutely without in any way retard-
ing military or naval operations. Dewey
and Merritt will proceed lninterruptediy
to execute their programme In the Phil
ipplneS: Miles will continue his advance
upon Porto Rico and Watson will head
| with his squadron for the shores Of
Spain.
Will Bring Them toTlms.
As these extenSlve movements will
cost a great deal Of money the Spanish
government, II 1t delays must expect to
meet the expense when 1t comes to a
settlement. The present disposition OF
our government Is to demand no money
indemnity from Spain, although It
might be fairly questioned whether the
small proposed territorial acquisition Of
Porto Rico and q couple OF coaling sta
tlons Is anything like an adequate re-
compense for the half billion dollars exc
pense that the war has imposed upon
us. From this time on, however, the
Spaniards are to be held to good faith
by imposing upon them any further and
additional charges to which the United
States Is put. Dewey and Merritt, 1t Is
calculated, win spend SO many millions;
Miles 30 many millions. and Watson so
many per week, and the total win be
balanced UP at interest, growing rapidly
with the passage Of every week. There
fore, though rejection by Spain OF our
terms Is expected in the beginning, there
VIII be steady pressure brought to bear
that 1t fs expected will lead to success In
the near future.
