A SHAMEFUL AFFAIR.

A yellow journal of New York.
through it's proprietor correspondent.
reported in his paper the other day
that near Santiago a group Of prison
ers was taken by American troops.
who turned them over to the tender
mercies of our allies, headed by a Gu
ban, who is a correspondent Of the pa
per in question, and that this fellow re-
ported that he had beheaded the whole
lot. 1t is now said that the Govern
ment will order an investigation into
the matter, and If it is found true that
it will seek to punish the offender.
That is right We cannot afford to
wink at barbarities by the Cubans.
It is very true that their families
have been butchered, tortured and
starved to death by the Spanish, and
because Of such barbarities in part
Nevertheless, we cannot afford to per-
NIT vengeance to be meted out
under the shadow Of our flag Nay,
the very thought Of inhuman treat
ment Of prisoners is abhorrent to U.S.
The prisoner. the wounded and the sick
foe. we teach, should have our espe-
cial care and receive our ministrations
Of mercy and helpfulness
The blood-thirsty Cuban correspond
ent Of the yellow sheet-always pro-
vided the story of the savagery is
true-ought to be treated to dose of
his own medicine. We should show the
Spanish that we are not responsible for
such conduct, and If made so by such
a wretch that we as swiftly punish for
as we repudiate the act
But how about the newspaper that
published the story, with much apollo
getic and excusative color? VIII not
its recital in the enemy's camp render
our foe the more desperate and tend to
make him retaliate upon the unfortu-
nate Americans who may have the i'll
luck to fall into his hands? What.
then, should be done with the corre-
spondent - assuming that he retails
the truth who sends such recital
broadcast TO do us harm? Shall not he
be run out of the lines of the Amer
lean army? 1t is one thing to gather
and report news, but it is equally as
wise and enterprising to be discreet
and reticent in cases where the dissem-
ination of even the truth will do in
calculable harm to the right cause
Since the foregoing was written news
has come to hand that an official in
Quiry was made of the General COM
manding, and the reply of General
Shafter brands the whole story as a
bold, barefaced, shameless lie. No
prisoners have been turned over to the
Cubans, and the latter have butchered
none. So here we have another brill
liant illustration Of the virtues, beauties
and glories Of yellow Journalism. All

THE REASON WHY.

Those dry land sailors who are shout
ing the question, why does not Samp-
SON enter the harbor OF Santiago de
Cuba and end the struggle?" should
pause a bit and endeavor to grasp the
situation. The protecting forts are
mainly on high ground. At long range
our ships can safely play upon them;
at short range they cannot give their
guns sufficient elevation, and at middle
range they must receive the metal of
the enemy. Again, at close range they
are exposed to the plunging shot from
the forts
1t is we'll understood by naval men
that the hardest task given a ship is to
reduce a strong land battery. It's
works may be cast down in ruins and
still remain serviceabla, from behind
which defense and assault can be made.
The entrance to the harbor is thickly
planted with both electrical and. contact
mines. For the American ships to at
tempt the passage Of the narrow en-
trance until the mines are removed ind
disconnected means to sacrifice them
without a single compensating advan-
tage
On the land side the Spanish are
strongly intrenched and lie between the
city, the bay and the harbor entrance
defenses on the one side, and the Amer
lean army on the other. Until; then, the
latter can place heavy siege guns and
operate upon the Spanish Notifications
from the land side as we'll as upon the
city, there can be no hope of reducing
the forts and making such an advance
to the south line of the land-locked bay
as to warrant an attempt to clear the
entrance of the harbor and enable our
fleet to- enter.
In this reduction, however, the army
and navy may cooperate by simulta-
neous assaults, but this cannot be
safely attempted without land plat
forms bearing heavy metal, ana lro-
tected in turn by a strong and resolute
force of soldiery of varied arms 1t
VIII be seen, therefore, that the taking
OF the place by the navy is out of The
question without cooperation by the
army, and the latter cannot render the
ships effective assistance until it has
planted siege artillery.

THE OCEAN TRAGEDY.

A French liner has been lost, and
with her over 600 passengers went to
watery graves Out of the whole Of
them but one woman was saved. 1t
is related by eye-witnesses that the
cowardly crew took to the boats and
left the women and children behind,
killing some Of them as they went.
Such as sprang into the sea and sought
to Chamber into the boats We're beaten
back, and in many cases women were
seen to be pushed beneath the waters
and held there by the brutal forecastle
men. In other cases the wretched peo-
pie struggling with the waves were
struck over the head with oars and
boathooks, and some were clubbed and
sent to their death with curses from
their murderers.
All this was by the brutal crew of a
French steamship. How very different
1t was few months ago when a great
American liner was lost Then the
officers and crew stood by the ship and
went down with her, but saw to it that
the women, children, sick and helpless,
were safely disposed in the boats before
man was allowed to leave the fated
craft. Nor against British sailors can
it be charged that they have been gull
ty of barbarity or action such as char
acterized the loss Of the French liner
The American and the English sailors
are the manly, the heroic and the hu-
name men, People who take passage
on the high seas should be taught by
the lesson of the present upon what
ships bottom they are safest. The
French crews are evidently recruited
from the rough scruff and brutal, the
low and vulgar, the ignorant and the
merciless, if the case Of this latest dis
aster is to be considered in evidence.
Moral, avoid the French liners.
And, by the way, where We're the
their chivalry, that they did not stand
by and cut down or shoot to the death
every man of the bestial crew that took
to the boats and left the women and
children to perish? Why were these
officials impotent to protect their pas
sengers from the ignorant and brutal
sailors under their command? They
went down with the ship, in most part,
'tis true but there is no evidence Of
their having made any effort to re-
strain the wretches who SO outraged
humanity

OUR MISSION IN THE PHILIP
PINES.

The Review of Reviews holds that
our duty in the Philippines is to make
good and effective the reforms promised
by the Spanish, but never carried out.
If We accomplish these in good faith, it
is added, we will win the people to US.
But we think that more is needed than
that, because the people have expanded
their ideas since the demand for the
content with patching up a system that
promised continued monarchical and
ecclesiastical control abhorrent to the
idea of human rights, inasmuch as
Spain throughout has insisted upon
domination ecclesiastical and the ab-
solute submission Of the people to the
home DEGREES and the rule of the priests.
Spain has never made any vigorous ef-
fort to give the people liberty of con-
science and speech. She carried the
Christian religion to the natives, but
she carried with it religious domination
by orders that has been more op-
pressive and cruel than the rule Of
the crown itself. We are to show the
Filippinos what real liberty Of the in
dividual is, and that freedom is a right,
not a concession. They will easily un-
derstand that They will quickly COM
prehend whatever gives to them adj
vancement under free thought and ex-
preston, and that not only does not an
tagonize their religion, but really broad
ems the field Of its action, and makes
conscience master, rather than slave.
Their capacity for self and free
government may be, indeed is
very limited. But there are examples
in plenty of reform of similar situa-
tions to those existing In the Philippines
though none perhaps where so vast a
population has been involved. The
sense of decency and our respect for the
enlightened opinion of mankind will not
permit us to hand back the government
to the natives and sail away and aban-
don them. says the Review" That is
the key note of our purpose. We are
neither to turn the people over to the
Spanish again-who would make them
suffer the more for the present revolt
of the natives, nor are we to impose
upon these people any system inconsist-
ent with their capacity They are 70
grow into the full stature of freedom
and that under our tutelage and guard
ianship means a growth of several gen.
erations. In short, our mission has been

Men who are afraid that they
are untitled to satisfactorily
fulfill any duty in life are miser-
able. The very knowledge itself
makes them nervous. They waste
away. They get worse daily.
They do not sleep. They have
evil dreams and are filed with
gloom. IF that is your state to-
day the sooner you alter it the
better. You can be again a whole
man. You can regain all your
lost vitality. You can feel the
