HAVE MERCY ON cERvERA

The latest demand Is for Admiral Ger
vera's absolute release, to go where he
will. 1t is not, however, made by Spain,
but by American citizens and American
journals.
The suggestion does credit to the hui
name impulses that characterize our peo-
pie, but Its wisdom may be questioned
Cervera is still Spaniard, and there is
nothing in his career to indicate that ne
is not loyal to Spain and the dynasty
To have so impressed Americans as to
warrant such extraordinary leniency will
not strengthen him at home, but on the
contrary will add new embarrassment
to his ultimate return to the peninsula.
Were he to accept his freedom and re-
main indefinitely in this country, 1t might
not be safe for him to ever again join
his people. They would be disposed to
cruelty him, as they attempted to cruelty
Montijo. With their peculiar views OF
Spanish honor" they would be disposed
to construe his acceptance of liberty as
an act of treason. He would certainly
lose his title, and possibly his head.
Let us be content with rational compli-
ance with the impulses of huma nifty and
the dictates of common sense. We can
not make an American of Cervera. We
may succeed in galvanizing him into a
corpse.

COIN FOR CUBA

The steamer Resolute will sail for San
tiago this morning, with $750,000 for the
army. 1t Is all In specie, and 1t is said
to be the purpose of the government with
he cooperation of the military command
ers, at once to encourage the adoption of
the American standard Of money by the
people of that portion of the island now
under control Of the United States. SOL
diers are to be requested to confine their
trading to such merchants as will recog-
nize the system and provide change In
the gold and silver Of the United States
and all classes are to be instructed in
the advantages that will accrue to them
by go doing. In a word, the pesetas are
to 90 out with the paroled prisoners, and
the Goddess of Liberty is to dominate the
currency Of the realm.

OUR INTEREST IN THE WORK

Within a fortnight the commissioners
appointed by the president to visit Hawaii
and formulate a suitable scheme for the
government Of the islands, will sail away
upon their mission. From unofficial and
more or less guarded utterances Of mem
bers of this board, 1t is safely inferred
that all Of it's members do not fully ap-
preciate the task mapped out for them.
One, at least, has declared that inasmuch
as Hawaii already has republican form
Of government, modelled somewhat after
our own, It will be comparatively easy
to draft code Of laws that shall conform
to the fundamentals Of our system, with
out much disturbing existing conditions.
This complacent view of the work to be
done discloses a lamentable ignorance
of the actual status of the newly acquired
territory. but it is not necessarily fatal,
inasmuch as the board will have only
advisory powers, and its recommended
tions will have no binding effect upon
congress. 1t Is important, nevertheless
that its members should not enter upon
the discharge Of their duties with too
many preconceived views, that they
should go down to the islands free from
bias, and with their receptive facul-
ties keenly alert for fresh impressions
They will, doubtless, not escape from San
Francisco without some suggestive hints

II the mooted program Of dining them
by the Chamber of Commerce Of that
city shall materialize. The Bulletin, In
its endorsement Of the suggestion, en-
phasizes the Importance Of thoroughly
impressing the board with the duty of
giving the fullest consideration to the
labor phase Of the problem, and outlines
popular convictions upon the subject
thus:
We demand the prohibition of all
Asiatic coolie immigration to Hawaii.
We demand the deportation Of all
coolie labor now in the islands.
We demand the extension thereto Of
the labor laws Of this country. with the
eight-hour day.
We demand that the sugar planter OF
Hawaii be put on an equality with the
sugar planter Of California.
That platform comprehends about all
We can ask, and possibly a great deal
more than we shall receive. But 1t is
quite certain we shall get little we do
not ask for. not much more than we shall
demand. That we should be alert and
assertive within bounds is scarcely de-
batable. California has more at stake
than any other commonwealth.

One of the brightest travelling statesmen
in modern commerce was thinking seriously
of going to war
"You see," he was saying to the old mill
tary man whose stories of adventure and
achievement had kindled his ambition, II

A HUMANE WAR

The elements Of bitterness and hate have
at no time characterized our war upon
the Spaniard. We have marveled at his
folly, satrized his hauteur, smiled at his
ignorance and perhaps spoken disparag-
ingly of what he is pleased to denominate
Spanish honor" but we have, from first
to last, treated him as human being
The war has been conducted upon a high

lofty consideration of the rights which

CUBAN CUSSEDNESs

Late advices from Santiago, via King
ston, intimate the possibility OF serious
trouble with the insurgent forces under
Garcia. The relations between the two
armies are represented to be decidedly
strained, there is practically no communi-
cation between the two, and the condi-
lions border on actual hostilitiea The
Cubans are credited with great disap-
pointment over the restraints placed upon
them by General Shafter, who has been
determined that the Ell Caney incident
should not be repeated at Santiago. There
their penchant for looting was fully dem
onstrated, while the calamity that befell
Cerveras fleet gave them abundant op-
portunity to display their savagery by
shooting the wounded seamen while strug-
Cling for life in the surf.
Although our dispatches this morning
make no reference to 1t, the plans adopt

Of Santiago have doubtless added to the
ire Of the Cubans. who confidently ex-
pected to be called upon to garrison the
place. The retention in office Of the

are incidents we'll calculated to fill the
native Cuban with disgust, and may in
spire him to open revolt. We shall hope,
however, that the early reports Of dis
affection are exaggerated, and that the
difficulties Of keeping the Cubans in sub
lection will be mnimized by the prudence
and discretion Of General Shafter., which
should be equal to the emergency.

VICTORY AT LAST

Following closely upon the capitula-
ton Of Santiago, comes the unconditional
surrender Of Russell A. Alger, who yes
terday awarded the contract for the con-
to Heldmeier & New Of Chicago. the
lowest bidders.
Thus ends long and uneven contest
between the people Of this section and
organized greed and official arrogance.
II indeed the course Of Secretary Alger
may not properly be characterized by a
harsher term. We content ourselves with
consigning him to the living infamy which
his conduct merits, and turn our eyes
at last cheerfully to the west. where
work will soon begin upon an under
taking Of vast Importance and signifi-
canoe to this region, and in the compile
ton of which so much. of bright destiny
