MILLER's ADDITION.
WITHOUT ANY FIGHTING.
Dewey Hopes To Take Manila without
Loss of Lire--A conference with
ten. Merritt

Cavite, July 27, via Hong Kong, Aug.
LIEN. Merritt. the governor general
OF the Philippines, who arrived Mon
day, and Admiral Dewey have held a
conference and discussed the situation
at great length, and in every phase
Admiral Dewey outlined his plans for
the capture of Manila and said that
he preferred to wait until the Mon
terey arrived before beginning the
attack. Persistent reports are cur
rent that the Spaniards in Manila
will surrender whenever surrender
is demanded, and there seems to
be some foundation for them. One
report for which there seems to be
some foun'sation, says that Capt. Gen,
August favors capitulation on August
l, If relief fleet has not arrived here
before that time, but he feels in honor
bound to rake some show of resistance.
Admiral Dewey thinks that it is posi-
BILE TO take the city without the loss of
single life and that he is most anxious
to do So He thinks that it is prefera-
BILE by far to undergo a little further
delay In order to'await the arrival of
an overwhelming force. Should he
attempt to take the city now by
assault, he says that a heavy loss would
be certain. Gen. Anderson has taken
a decided stand in so far as Aguinaldo,
the rebel leader, and his dictatorship
are concerned, and matters are assum-
ing more definite and satisfactory
shape. The American commander has
refused to recognize Aguinaldo as die
tator or the establishment of his gov

candidates for Governor.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 2-Delegates to
the populist, democratic and free silver
republican state conventions, which
meet here to-day simultaneously but
separately, were arriving throughout
yesterday and last night, and enough
of the leaders are already on the
ground to outline the programme
insofar as it affects complete fusion
of the three parties, which is al
ready as good as accomplished. 1t is
generally conceded that the populists
will claim and be granted a majority
of the state offices, giving the demo-
Gratis the attorney generalship and the
free silver republicans the lieutenant
governorship. The main contest will
be on the governorship, and for
this Office the populists have ten
active aspirants, four of them-ex-
Speaker Gaffin, of Wahoo; ex-Mayor
Weir, of Lincoln; District Judge
Thompson, of Grand Island, and Dis
trict Judge Beall, of Hastings-with a
following SO nearly equal as to make
their chances equally good.

A Critical Moment.

Whether we capture ard hold the Phil
ippines, or Spain shall successfully resist
our efforts, on the one hand. or war shall
not bring us face to face with the specific
problems outlined the truth remains, be-
yond question or quibble, that now is the
critical time when the United States
should strain every nerve and bend all
her energies to keep well to the front
In the mighty struggle that has begun for
the supremacy of the Pacific Seas. If we
seize the opportunity we may become
leaders forever, but if we are laggards
now we will remain laggards until the
crack of doom. The rule of the survival
of the fittest applies to nations as well as
to the animal kingdom. 1t is a cruel, re-
lentless principle being exercised in a
cruel, relentless competition of mighty
forces and these will trample over
us without sympathy or remorse unless
we are trained to endure and strong
enough to stand the pace.-From THE
Problem of the Philippines" by the Hon,
John Barrett, late United States minister
to Siam. in North American Review for
September.

A Frenchman's Testimony.

The Revue de Paris in recent issues
printed and the New York Sun of yes
terday translated the diary of a French
naval officer stationed on the warship
Bruix which lay in Manila bay when
Dewey's squadron entered. The diary
covered the events of the first month
of Dewey's blockade and is full of in
sulting references to the Americans.
French as well as German sympathies
were avowedly with Spain and this
officer could find no words of objur-
cation strong enough to voice his con-
tempt of the European statesmen who
permitted America to assert herself in
that neighborhood. For, said he, in one
place:
Manila is the key of the extreme
east The island Of Luzon is the geo.
metrical centre of all those points on
the globe whose possession is the most
important to those powers who have
interests to protect in the Pacific.
Taking Manila as a centre, circle
whose radius is five days ordinary
steaming will include all the great COM
mercial water lanes and all the lines
of communication between Europe and
the extreme east and between the eX-
treme east and Australia and Amer
lea" In another place he thus quotes
a French resident of Manila who was
asked if the Philippines under a wise
government would be a profitable coll
ony: "Marvellously so. Their wealth
is immeasurable, their position I'M
rivalled; they produce rice, sugar,
hemp, tobacco and precious woods;
they possess a wealth of minerals and
a marvellously rich soil not yet half
cultivated"
These tributes to the importance OF
our future Asiatic possession are the
more interesting because undoubtedly
sincere. They afford another reason
why what has been honorably won in
war should be held in peace.

England, Germany and China.

Great results are predicted in case
TO an agreement, or, as the continental
statesmen would say, an alliance. The
New York Sun says:
BY the withdrawal of German opposi-
tion England will be enabled TO purchase
Delagoa bay fTCm Portugal, and thus
wall off the TraEsVaal republic from the
sea. Henceforth epcysted within British
possessions, the Beers must be, eventual
ly, merged in a South African confeder-
alton. On the east coast of Africa, the
influence of an Anglo-German coalition is
likely to become so preponderant that the
intrigues of France and Russia in Abys-
sinia will be brought TO naught. At
Teheran, also, the representatives. of
Russia will lose their present ascendancy
the moment it is known that Russia Will
fear to resort to war, being unable, in her
present financial situation to make head
against the combination of England with
the Triple Alliance. No less striking will
be the change observed at ConstantinoDle
The role of vassal to the cZar, into which,
of late, the sultan has seemed drifting
will be exchanged for complete subserv-
fence to Alglo-German dctation. 1t is
probable that to Germany will be con-
ceded the protectorate over Syria, to
which France has long aspired, together
with rights of colonization on the sea-
coast of Anatolia. With England's aid
the project of a marriage between the
young Queen Wilhelmina of Holland and
a German prince would be almost GER
tainly carried out, and the joint pressure
of the coalition might even induce the
Netherlands to become a constituent
state of the German empire which would
thus acquire in the Dutch Ecast Indies a
splendid colonial domain. In China, a
combination of England and Germany
backed as 1t surely would be by Japan
and morally strengthened by the good
will Of the United States, could dispel
forever the Russian dream of dominating
the Middle Kingdom, and In one way or
another keep the markets OF China per-
manently open to the world.
This forecasting Of possibilities is in
teresting and instructive; and there
is to be said for 1t that Germany has
really much more to gain by siding
with England than by playing second
fiddle to the czar. But II we were CIV

There were next to no such officers.
With 100000 raw volunteer troops the
country needed 1900 to I4OOO trained
officers. not merely for drill but to keep
the men we'll. The country did not have
such officers. The officers commissioned
had to learn their duties in the field as
best they could. and they have mastered
them with rapidity, an efficiency and
zeal which does them infinite credit. But
too often their efforts for their own men
have been neutralized by the routine or
the biurders of staff and general officers
unfamiliar with the work of caring for a
large force or swamped by red-tape and
regulations" In a vast, complex ma
chine like modern army it is puerile to
imagine that when the machine breaks

The Dream of Universal Peace.

What attitude should the United
States assume il invited to send dele
gates to congress of the powers con-
Vened in furtherance OF the czar's sug-
gestion of a general disarmament?
This question is one certain sooner or
later to come UP for consideration.
Anterior to glancing at the AmerI-
can asnects of this problem it should
be borne in mind that disarmament by
Europe is no more to be expected un-
der conditions now prevalent there
than is the success of perpetual motion.
No basis of agreement toward this end
Is conceivable. One power is strong on
land but weak on the sea; another is
weak on land but strong on the sea.
The conditions which compel the main
tenance of large naval force are usu-
ally the opposite from those that ne
cessitate large land force. Reduc-
tion of one kind of armament without
reference to the other kind would on
the face of it be preposterous; reduc-
tion of both kinds in respect to a fixed
ratio, obviously impossible. Germany
would not disarm unless France would:

There is one way, the one way only, in
which the Cubans can acquire. now ana
forever, perfect freedom of access 20
American markets for their natural pro-
ducts, and that is by the admission of
their island to the Union. There would
be no end to the development of Cuba's
natural resources under such stimulating
conditions. Nature has done more for
her than 1T has done for Java, which is of
almost exactly the same size; yet, in the
short space of a century, the population
of the latter island has increased from
TWO to more than twenty millions. Cuba
is standing, in this crisis, at the parting
OF the ways. If she chooses, a destiny
more splendid than Java's may be hers,
for she may unite the dignity and free
dom of American citizenship with a more
than Javanese prosperity. II, on the
other hand, the Cubars shall cling TO the
barren honor of complete political inde-
pendence, they will find that it means Cor

nomic isolation; that American capital,
emigration and enterprise will so else

SOME VIEWS ON A LIVE TOPIC.
England. Japan and Uncle Sam.

Truxtun Beale in September Forum.
Perhaps there will never come a time
when we shall be in stronger position
than now to enforce our demands in an
international congress. Our naval
strength has startled Europe. England's S
interests are identical with our own. She
is preaching the doctrine of open ports,
ana has shown her Willingness to fight
for them. Japan, with her efficient navy
and important strategic position, has just
been robbed of the fruits of victory by
the three powers who will most strongly
oppose us. With Japan to aid the Anglo
Saxon alliance in dverting certain
amount of naval strength, we could, with
the assistance of the naval stations of
England in the Mediterranean, bottle Up
the Black Sea and, perhaps, the Mediter-
ranean itself. With our own western
frontier resting on the shores of the Pa
cific, and with our Hawaiian and Philip
pine naval stations to cooperate with ia
pan and the fortunately situated British
islands of Hong Kong and Singapore, we
could effectually cut off the communica-
tions of Europe with the Far East. In
deed, it is a question whether an alliance
having so many points of strategic ad-
vantage in all parts of the globe could
not shut off the continent of Europe from
every other part of the world. In either
case all their colonies would fall into our
hands.
