The Problem of the Philippines

When we made demand on Spain to re-
move her flag from Cuba we had no inten-
ton of taking the Philippines from her.
The conditions which existed In those is
lands were not annoying us In fact, we
knew comparatively little about them. Ad-
miral Dewey went to Manila for the pur-
pose Of destroying the Spanish heet-of
striking Spain a blow that would weaken
her, and help TO make her let go her hold
of Cuba. We haven't possession Of the
Philippines yet. In fact, we haven't posses
sion of Manila, the capital OF the Islands.
"A strong pressure is being brought 70
bear upon the President to get him to de-
mand, in the negotiations for peace which
have been inaugurated, possession of the
Philippines, and 1t is claimed by those who
are exerting this pressure that we cannot
honorabiy permit Spain to continue her
rule in those islands. The New York Sun,
which is one Of the many papers that take
this position, says: THE remuneration of
the Philippines would involve a breach of
the national honor" The Daily Mail. Lon
don. says: I've cannot believe that Presi-
dent Mckinley VIII abandon Aguinaldo and
the Insurgents. 1t would be the deepest
dishonor, besides sowing the seeds of uni
versal war"
We cannot see that any dishonor is in
volved In Withdrawing from the Philip
pines If we find that It is for our interest

Women Nurses.

There is quite a lively little fight on
between Dr.. Sternberg, surgeon general
of the army, and the Red Cross Society
DR.. Sternberg, at the very beginning of the
war, said that he did not want any wo-
men nurses at the front. He took the
position that women nurses were. in the
way and out of place on battlefield.
The other day, in New York, he was
asked what he thought of the Red Cross.
He said: II opposed the Red Cross going
to the front from the first. The Red
Cross was never wanted at the front We
don't need the nurses there. 1t is 40
place for women; but they have thrust
themselves upon us. In its place the Red
Cross is an. admirable organization, but
it's nurses are out of place on the battle
field.'
The Red Cross officers take an entirely
different view of the situation. They say
that Red Cross nurses were on the bat
tlefeld at Santiago and did remarkably
fine service. They declare that the hos
pital force of the army was unequal to
the demands upon it on the first day s
battle and that if it had not been for
the Red Cross nurses a great many more
lives would have been sacrificed than there
were. Even doctors of the army hospital
service admit that there were many more
wounded than they could attend to, ana
that the Red Cross nurses were of the
greatest assistance to them
There is no question of the value of wo-
men nurses in the hospitals, but 1t hardly
seems to be the place for women on the
battlefield. Stin, If they are willing and
want to go there. no good reason exists
why they should not be permitted to do so.

The Most PerpIexinR Question.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.).

Perhaps the most awkward of the uuex-
pected questions that have arisen in con-
nection with the present war is that of the
Philippine Islands. 1t seems TO be under
stood that Spain is willing to relinquish
Cuba and Porto Rico, but insists on retain
ing the Philippines. We would gladly be
rid Of the Philippines, but cannot at
present perceive our way clear to do so,
for reasons fully explained in the Ledger S
Washington dispatches yesterday. We
must take them away from SPAIN we can
not give them to any other Power. They
constitute the knoItiest part of the inter-
national problem which our government is
called upon TO solve, and which there Is
no reason to doubt it will wisely and just
~ solve. What is certain Is that we do
not want a semi-barbaric nation of 10000
600 souls TO watch over with perpetual
standing armies. navies and political car

Future Reunion of Veterans.
From the Philadelphia Times Qnd)

Henceforth there should be no more sep
arate reunions Of the Grand Army or of
the Confederate Veterans, but there should
be an annual reunion of the veterans of
the blue and gray in fraternal brother
hood TO keep alive the memories of the
matchless heroism of the American people.
Santiago has enaced all lines between the
soldiers of the North and the South, and
the survivors of our civil war whose
number must now rapidly diminish, should
meet together In annual reunions to COM
memorate the grandeur of the noblest re-
public of the world.

DEPREDATIONS AT TAOS PUEBLO.
Two Men Kill a Cow Belonging to the In
dians-Their Horses Captured and
Taken to Taos Attempts to Hush
the Matter Up.

Information has been received in san
ia Fc from Taos. that since the death OF
Captain Nordstrom the impression has
gotten out. that there is no one In the
territory to guard the interests OF the
Pueblo Indians at Taos. and there
fore some stealing and killing of cattle
belonging to the Indians has taken
place.
According to d reliable source, d few
days ago, two men, who were recOg-
nized, entered the woodland pasture of
the pueblo, carrying rifles. Soon after
a shot was heard, and on investigation
a COW was found to have been shot and
killed, but thinking the men would re-
turn to carry away the meat, the car-
cass was allowed to remain. That night
the men rode into the timber, tied theil
horses near, and proceeded to skin and
cut up the carcass. The Indians, in
tending to capture both the men and
the horses, secured the latter first. but
in so doing, frightened the men, who eS-
capped.
The next morning the horses and sad
dies were taken to the town OF Taos,
where one of the animals was claimed
by Deputy Sheriff Santistevan, who said
it had been stolen from his stable the
night before. The men implicated in
the killing of the COW are said to be
connected with some of the county Off
Gals in Taos county, and much infiu-
ence is being brought to bear to prevent
the Indians prosecuting the case; money
is being used freely, and every effort
made to hush the matter up.
Nevertheless, the killing Of the cow
belonging to the Indians will be brought
to the attention of the proper officials
of the Indian office at once and steps
taken to prevent further trespassing on
the property belonging to the Taos
pueblo.
