A STRONG PERSONNEL.
The Commissions Make-Up AuEurs
Well for Colonial Expansion.

London. Aug. 21.-The Times, comment
ing upon the appointment of the Ameri-
can Peace Commission, says that the
strong personnel must be taken as con-
currence by PresidentMckinley in the
inclination of the Republican party to-
ward a policy of colonial expansion. If
the President is resolved upon holding
something beyond Manila. the logic of
the situation will probably lead him TO
decide to hold the whole archipelago.
The Philippines have long been of no
real advantage to Spain. Bereft of Ma
Mia, they would be nothing but a costly
burden. Spain is under no obligation TO
bear such a burden merely at the bidding
of the United States. and she will prob
ably soon attempt TO relieve herself in
manner that will be little acceptable to
that power.
