The
Cruel Knife!

1t is absolutely useless to expect a
surgical operation to cure cancer, or
any other blood disease. The cruelty
of such treatment is illustrated in the
alarming number of deaths which re-
suit from it,. The disease is in the
blood, and hence can not be cut out.

The cough of the Vesuviusl has TEN

anyway compared with the volcano
into which Cervera a when.he came

During the naval battle ..at' Santiago

Thanks to the United States some of
the Spanish soldiers in Cuba have q
chance Of seeing home again. The
usual fate Of the private semitic the
colonies was tc be killed or die Of dis
ease.
The Spanish prime ministersis re.
ported to have said after the destruc-
ton of Cervera's fleet: peace lis i'm
possible until a Spanish victory has
lowered the pride of the Americans or
another disaster forces Spain TO make
the most ample concessions"
Some of the regulars who fought at
Santiago once followed Geron,mo's
trail crawling or hands and knees for
twenty.four hours in intense heat with
out water. The Cuban moisture is a
small affair in comparison.
It will cost something to lsend the
c~apitulated army to Spain; but not so
much as to feed and guard 1t in a:prison
camp. The government is not pre-
pared to ind prison quarters for the en-.
tire Spanish army and navy.
The army of the United States for
the next few years is likely to go be-
yond the 100, 900 mark. A considerable
force in the aggregate will be distribut-
ed in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, the
Philippines, Ladrones and Carolines.
One reason why Spain is thinking Of
peace is the discovery hat it has not
been making war in the usual accep.
ton of the word. What it sees:for its
share Of the war is a succession Of
sunken fleets and surrendered army
divisions.
The monitor M~anadnock arrived at

WASHINGTON r
WASHINGTON, ID. g., j

~. ", u 10.
Peace may speedily follow General
Skaters victory in compelling the sur
render Of Santiago and $4,000 Spanish
troops, but, Notwithstanding all that
has been and is being printed to the
contrary, there is nothing official In
sight to indicate it. Every &C, Of the
administration since the surrender of
Santiago, indicates the belief that the
end of the war is still a long ways of.
In fact, there is little probability OF
peace until the mem ers of the Spanish
government get rid Of the idea that the
wishes Of European powers are to be a
factor in the terms Of peace, and recog.
nize the fact that those terms are to BE-
dictated from Washington.
-
Although no official announcement
has been made, 1t Is believed by many
in Washington that Commodore Wat
sons feet is already on its road to
Spain, and that within a week the
movement for the capture of Porto
Rico will be under way.

The breaking out Of yellow fever in
the army ut Santiago has made it Ger.
tain that no summer campaign against
Havana will be undertaken. The adj
ministration is unwilling to send our
soldiers where that disease can hardly
be escaped during the next three
months. When the FIRST news reached
Washington that there were several
hundred cases of yellow fever in our
army ut Santiago, IL came very near to
creating n panic. Every possible pre-,
caution is being taken ~ prevent the
fever becoming epidemic, and although
news of the progress Of the fever is
very meagre, owing 10 the rigid censor,
ship at Santiago, there j. now Il little
better feeling, But there is still much
uneasiness, aud ample cause for 1t too
50
The condition which binds us &c
send the $4,000 Spanish troops, cap
tured at Santiago, back to Spain is re
garded in Washington as an excellen,
one. Although it is a big job, it can be
much easier accomplished than wa.
the landing of our army over there, as
the ships that will carry them can &c
right up to the Santiago wharves t.
receive them. 1t would be much cheap
er to send them home than it would tC
keep them as prisoners.

-
Experience teaches governments as
we'll as individuals. When the tam.
paign against Santiago was started
IL was the opinion of those on the in
side OF the administration circle, and
was publicly stated in a semi.oficial
way, that It was the intention Of the
government, after Santiago wasJtaken
to withdraw all our troops, and allow
the Cubans TO establish their civil gov
eminent in the town-to make 1t the
capitol Of the Republic of Cuba. Opin.
ions have changed since then, although
only q short time has passed. The Gu
ban insurgents do not stand as high In
the estimation Of the administration,
either as a fighter or In a peaceful IA
pacity, as they did. In the tests which
have been applied to them they failed
to come up to expectations. Conse
quently, Santiago will remain under
United Sta jes military control until
further notice, instead Of being turned
over to the Cubans.

Everything that Admiral Dewey
does appears to strike the people OF
this country as being about the right
thing, from showing his resentment a,
the action Of the commander Of the
German cruiser Irene, interfering to
protect the garrison Of n Spanish for,
In Subig bay from an attack by the
Philippine insurgents, by sending the
Raleigh and the Concord to batter
down the fort and capture the five hun.
dred Spaniards composing the garrison

for the much.abused Chinese, and &c

shows Admiral Dewey to be as vel
supplied with moral as with physical
courage. Nothing but praise is heard
in Washington for Dewey, and thanks
that we should be fortunate enough tc
have such a man in the Philippines a,
this critical period. He is being es
pecially commended for having SC
plainly shown the Germans that he in
