The rapid development OF the war
from mere Intervention upon humane
grounds for the liberation Of Cuba has
already been expanded through the un-

by Admiral Dewey's brilliant achieve

rience to the country by its emphatic
proof that the dignity and honor OF the
nation cannot he secure as long as
Congress ignores the historical injunc-
tion to prepare for war in time Of
peace.
There are the best Of reasons for be-
lieving that Europe has been astound-
ell at the alacrity with which results
have been accomplished. not only as
relates to the material of war, but to
the speedy making of intelligent and
efficient soldiers. As TO the future con-
duct Of the war with Spain, already
hopelessly dlsmembered. there cnn be
only Improbable speculation. Three
months ago Havana seemed the sole
objective and Santiago was not given
n thought even as late ns the middle
of Mny. when, quickly following the
San Juan bombar,iment, decision
was reached to send the army concen-
trated on the gulf Immediately to POr-
to Rico. The exigencies of the Santi-
ago situation put nm end for the time
being to the Porto Rico project. which
Is only now being earnestly revived.
There are no longer any Spanish
fleets to enter the calculations. unless
the Spanish peninsula itself is to be
attacked. The immediate acquisition
Of Hawaii ms a supreme military ne
ccsslty now seems certain, while n
month ago another years delay ap-
pearcd unavoidable. The rapidity with
which the investment of Santiago will
be accomplished cannot fail to materi-
nlly affect the dispatch of the Porto
Rican army. Among the unavoidable
necessities Is that of relieving many
of the heavier warships from duty in
the West indies ut the earliest prac-
ticable moment for cleaning and re-
pairs in drydock at northern ports.
