The Flag at Santiago.

The American flag floats over the Gov
ernor's palace at Santiago. 1t was hoist
ed there with impressive and beautiful
ceremonies, and to the accompaniment of
inspiring music. The floating of the flag
over Santiago, however. is likely 10 be the
cause of some little embarrassment to
number of jingoes. For months and
months-indeed, ever since the visit Of
Commissioner Blount to Hawaii as the
representative of President Cleveland-the
jingoes have been dead-set against haul
ing down American flags. The fact that
Commissioner BIount hauled down the one
which Dole and his crowd had raised over
the government building at Honolulu al
most set the jingoes wild with rage. The
bare mention Of that incident, even at this
late day, is almost enough to set them
off into a paroxysm of anger and wild
denunciation. Where the flag has been
once flung to the breeze" they are fond
Of saying, there let it forever wave"
There was a good deal of that sort of talk
heard in the Senate during the recent
perfunctory debate upon the Hawaiian
annexation question. LET there be no
more hauling down % the grand banner
Of liberty" vociferated the jingoes.
And yet it appears that we shall, before
a great while, be brought face to face
with the necessity Of hauling down the
grand Old flag. at Santiago. We went
into the war with Spain for the purpose
of pulling down the Spanish flag in Cuba
and raising a Cuban national flag there;
not of floating Old Glory to the Caribbean
breezes over the Pearl of the Antilles. OF
this purpose we formally notified the
world in our war resolutions adopted by
Congress In consideration of all of the
circumstances, therefore, it seems that
the jingoes and expansionists must suffer
the mortifea ton of seeing the flag hauled
down once more. The only way in which
the down-hauling could be avoided would
be for the country to depart from its de-
clared purpose in putting Spain out of
Cuba.

A RrIIIinnt Charge.

The Rev. Dwight Galloupe, rector Of st.
Pauls Episcopal Church, at High and
Market streets, Newark, who is known
as the silver-tongued orator of Newark"
and who went 10 the front as the chaplain
of the Ninth United States Regulars, was
seen at his home. at Market and Grove
streets, Newark, Saturday, says the New
York Tribune. He was wounded in the
battle before Santiago, and returned home
Friday night. A shell burst in front Of
him, and an immense cloud of earth, which
he estimated weighed several hundred
pounds, struck him. Some Of the earth
was buried in his chest. His right arm
is of no use temporarily, and his right leg
cannot be used His body is black and
blue, and he has hemorrhages as a result
Of his injuries.
Chaplain Galloupe found the climate Of
Cuba better than he had expected. While
il was exceedingly warm during the day,
the nights were cool. There is but a short
period of twilight, night coming soon on
the heels of sunset. There was shower
nearly every day At noon, with unfail-

The Real cuban ProbIem.

We are approaching the real Cuban
problem-the problem which we shall have
TO solve before there can be permanent
peace in Cuba. That problem is to estab-
lish a stable, liberal and satisfactory gov
eminent in that island. The differences
between the royalists and revolutonists
are so radical that It is doubtful if there
will be harmony between them for a gen
Grafton. The United States are bound to
give the island a government which will
command the respect and obedience of
all classes of the people, and which will
insure protection to life and property.
As soon as Santiago surrendered repre-
sentatives Of the so-called Cuban repub-
lie appeared there and announced their
purpose Of making that city the capital of
the republic for the time being. When
Gen. Shafter stated that he intended to
keep some Spanish officers who belong to
the autonomist government, in charge OF
the city the Cuban officers protested, say
ing that TO do so would be most serious
mistake, because the Spaniards are bit
terly hostile TO The United States. These
Cubans also said that if autonomist Span
iards were left in charge of Santiago's
municipal affairs the Cubans would feel
that their cause had received a serious
set back.
From Madrid comes the statement that
the autonomists in Cuba have
about decided to cut loose from
Spain and declare for a republic
that If Cuba is TO be independent
the royalists should have control of the
government-not the revolutonists. Th6y
have gone so far it is alleged, as to ask
the Spanish soldiers to remain in Cuba,
and help them establish Cuba's independ-
ence.
There is, therefore, probability of two
republics one having the support of the
royalists and the other of the revolution
lists In that case what would the United
States do? Would they fight both repub-
lies and proceed TO establish a government
such as they thought cuba should have?
II they should they would, in all probable
ity, loose the support of both the royalists
and the revolutionists, and would have to
deal with both Of them with a firm hand.
We have not, of course, got possession
yet of Cuba. but there is no doubt that we
shall have 1t before the end of this year,
If not much sooner, but it is just as well
to look ahead to see what troubles, if
any, are likely to.confront us when we gel
control of the island. The prospect is not
such as 10 create the impression that we
are going to have an easy task to give
the people of Cuba the kind of a govern
ment they ought to have. our greatest
trouble with Cuba may come after we
have driven the spaniards out of the
island.

Watson,s SQUADRON.

Commodore Watson's squadron of battle
ships and cruisers has not sailed yet for
the shores OF Spain, and it is not known
exactly when it Will sail We are not sure
that The government Is as anxious to have
the squadron start as it appears, from
what Is said in the public prints, to be.
Last week some of the Washington cor
respondents said the date of its sailing
was fixed for Saturday, July 16. Others
now say that it viii get away in about
week. The Herald even names the ships
that will compose the squadron, though it
is doubtful if the government has desig
mated them.
All of this, however, goes to show that
the Washington correspondents are moi
quite as well informed respecting the
plans and purposes of the government as
they pretend TO be.
If what some of the captains of the ships
say is correct the squadron will not start
on its mission for some considerable time.
They say that several of the most inn
portant of the ships--particularly those
which probably would compose Commodore
Watson's squadron-ought to go in the dry
dock at once, because their bottoms are
foul and their machinery needs repairing.
Several of them have not been in the dry
dock for year and a half 1t is time
therefore, that they were given a thor
ough overhauling.
We have no doubt that squadron of
our best warships would have a very de-
nOralizing effect in SPAIN if it should APP
pear off any one of the leading Spanish
ports but no one of our ships should be
sent across the ocean unless in first-class
condition. We cannot afford to have
them break down before they reach their
destination or just about the time they
reach ii. The moral effect of our demon
stration would be lost in that event
1t will be definitely known in day or
Two how soon the squadron viii sail, to-
scthcr with ali other facts connected with
the expedition which the government de-
sires to have made public, but it would
not be surprising If the departure of the
squadron should be delayed longer than is
generally expected.

The Man who Cooks the Grub.
From the Cleveland Lead

From the Cleveland Leader.
We have read in song and story
OF Che man behind the gum
He is given ali the glory
OF the battles that are won
They are filling up the papers
With his apotheosis,
And they tell about his capers
While the shells above him hiss,
But behind the grimy gunner,
Steadfast through the wild hubbub,
Stands a greater god of battles
IT'S the man who cooks the grub
When the sky is rent with thunder,
And the shells scream through the air
When some fort is rent asunder,
And Destruction revels there,
When the men in line go rushing
On to glory or to woe
With the maddened charges crushing
Heroes who are lying low,
There is one but for whose labors
There could be no wild hubbub,
And the greatest god of battles
Is The man who cooks the grub.
What of ships with armor plating?
What of castles on the nights?
What of anxious captains waiting
While the careful gunner sights?
What of ali the long-range rifles?
What of men with valiant hearts?
These were but impotent trifes,
But inconsequentiai parts
OF the whole, without the fellow
Who must scour, scrape and scrub
For the greatest god of battles
Is the man who cooks the grub.

For several years our government has
had man named Murphy travelling an
Europe for the purpose of teaching the
people there the value of corn as an article
OF food. Mr. Murphy is an expert in his
line, and is able to demonstrate conclp-
sively, to his own mind at least, that
every government of Europe would do a
good thing for itself and It's soldiers il
1t would include corn meal IN its army
rations; and there are many reasons for
thinking Mr.. Murphy is right on that
score Meantime, while Mr. Murphy, in
behalf Of the agricultural department, is
preaching corn bread in Europe, our own
government is paying very little, if any,
attention to corn bread as a soldiers ra-
ton. If those troops at Charleston had
been given corn bread with their beans,
bacon, hard tack and coffee, they would
not have fallen from exhaustion during a
ten-mile march; nor would they have re-
belied at the bill of fare and marched off
to a restaurant our government should
practice that which it is paying Mr.. Muir
ply to preach.
