What Is this dreadful thing called ''im-
perialism?" AS young Hamlet would say,
that Is the question. We are hearing a
good deal about IT. and the time IS fast ap-
preaching when We shall hear a good deal
more. There is little interest left in the
old issues. Nobody now can be made to
believe that the salvation OF the country
depends on the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of Is 20 /. nor yet on reorganizing the
Supreme Court and putting a time limit on
the service of lis members. The million
aires have some character this year even
IN pOpulist strOngholds. But the cry of i'm
perl2lism has been raised and 1t must be
explained.
We mist have something more tnan gen.
eralities. Awful warnings. garnished with
references to old Rome. Will not suffice
Cross-road interpretations and applications
OF Washinston's farewell address will DE
quite as Ineffective. What the people want
to know Is what their danger is. If they
are in danger. They know that Rome fell.
and they still greatly reverence the wisdom
or Washington. but very important con-
dillon confronts them and they must deal
with 1t according to twentieth century
lights and duties Amy information or sug-
sestions bearing directly on the subject will
be thankfully received by the public
Ar. Bailey and his democratic followers
Evening star., 1898-07-23

In the House took the ground in caucus
resolution that the annexation of Hawaii
would inaugurate a policy of Imperialism.
Surely the democratic party will not plant
itself upon that. Some of its most promi-
nent members in both houses Of Congress
voted for annexation and the country gen.
orally applauds the action taken. VIII the
seizure and annexation of Porto Rico be
step in the dangerous direction? II Spain
Is SO undesirable as a neighbor that We
driving her out of Cuba, should we leave
her in possession of Porto Rico? Besides,
Porto Rico in the Atlantic Is the equivalent
of Hawaii in the Pacific in the matter of
our control of the Nicaragua canal. We
need them both. We shall have them both.
And the country will approve.
Evidently. then. the danger line has not
yet been reached. Where may it be traced?
What step will distinctly disclose a turn in
our affairs dangerous to the continuation
of our Institutions founded by the
fathers? Nobody is proposing TO annex
China. or Australia, or the whole of the
West Indies. What. then, causes the
alarm? What explains this outburst as J.
a great gulf opened just in front of US?
The United States has not lost its head
because of its victories over Spain. They
were expected 1t has not become delirious
at finding itself pretty strong on the sea-
1t has no thought of turning swashbuclSler
and offering to lick creation and then of
looting everybody it does lick. If this talk
about Imperialism simply expresses a fear
that a little success may swell and turn
the heads of the American people it is not
the kind of contention upon which a ma
tional election may be won.

Dealing with the Cubans.


Now. 1t is obvious that we cannot go
among these people in tropical lands and
maintain pleasant relations with them If
We hold them rigidly to our standards It
cannot be done without appearing to them
as narrow, intelerant and oppressive We
must know their language. we must be toll
Grant of their customs, We must be char
liable toward their failings. We must rec
ogniZe their inheritances and finally we
must not assume to be perfection our
selves There is real danger that IN our
impatience to achieve quick results, in our
n'asterful desire to run things, in our con-
ceit of transcendent superiority over all
the rest Of the world. we shall unduly an
tagoniza weaker races and end by simply
:. shing them to the wall. If we are to be
teachers. helpers and protectors rather
than conqueror:s, We must use the weapons
of knowledge and liberation. and lead by
the persuasiveness of sympathy rather
than brute force. We can Americanize
but in this case 1t is our boast that we VIII

Present and rrospectire War Moves.

Present anu IrOspecttve war Moves.
The campaign against Spain is just at
present in a transitory condition, pending
the transfer of active operations from San
tiago to Porto Rico and the arrival of ad-
ditional troops at Manila to support Ad-
niral Dewey. The next moves will not fall
in Importance below the standard already
set in the war Porto Rico will be invested
within a few days. Manila may likewise
have been occupied by the American forces
while Commodore Watson's squadron may
have departed to Europe on it's errand of
peace-making by force. After delays that
have been variously explained and guessed
about by the war gossips Gen. Miles has
started for the island which the United
States is to occupy permanently as war
indemnity. He is accompanied by a large
body of soldiers and a squadron sufficiently
strong to cooperate efficiently with the
land forces and ensure successful assault
upon San Juan. The active operations in
Porto Rico will probably begin early next
week and a few days hence may bring
news of the complete occupation of the is
land Unlike the campaign in Cuba that in
the smaller island will probably be deter
mined by the assault upon a single city,
San Juan, which practically represents the
sum total OF Spanish power in the colony.
Dewey is steadily being reinforced to fight
ing strength. though there is reason to be-
lieve that the Monterey will not arrive for
fortnight, owing to the difficulties of her
voyage. There is no present reason. how
ever, to fear that Dewey's available naval
force will not suffice for all purposes. The
growing aggressiveness of Aguinaldo pre-
sents perplexing possibilities of trouble
with him. The latest bulletin announces
that he has proclaimed himself dictator
and placed the territory under martial law.
Just how far his pretensions to independ-
ent authority and power are serious and
threatening future events alone show.
There is yet nothing in the situation to
warrant the belief that the United States
will not be able to carry out its final con-
clusions with regard to the Philippines.
whatever may be the attitude of the Eu-
ropean powers of the insurgents.
There is reason to believe that this gov
ernment will not hasten in the matter of
sending Commodore Watson to Spain
The announcement of the purpose to effect
a naval demonstration off the coast of
Spain, to pursue Camara's squadron and
perhaps to proceed all the way to Manila,
caused Spain to turn right-about and re-
call Camaras squadron. abandoning it's
bluff of sending naval force against
Dewey. But the Watson expedition was
intended for additional and even more
important purpose than this, namely to
present to the eyes of the people of Spain
visible evidence of the American power,
in order to bring them to a realization of
the hopelessness of the struggle. Since
Porto Rico is to be held by the United
States our government will naturally re-
frain from sending Watson to push Spain
peaceward until Porto Rico has been COLI
quereG and occupied.

The Star Correspondent Talks Span
ish.

From Santiago Correspondence of the New York Sun.
On Sunday morning. near Gen. Shafter's $
headquarters, a dozen wounded Spaniards
were having their wounds dressed one
young fellow who was shot through both
legs lay on the ground. The surgeon was
trying to ask him to move his leg so that
his boot could be Unlaced. when Mr.. Charles
Pepper, the Washington (Star) correspond
ent volunteered to act as interpreter
STOPPING down to the Spaniard he gave the
message, and. as is the Spanish custom, he
prefaced his remark with Amigo In
stanty the young Spaniard's face lightened
with amazement and delight. He grasped
Mr.. Pepper by the hand and exclaimed in
credulously.
Thou callest me frend!'
Mr.. Pepper explained the remark to the
two other correspondents with him. and
when they too shook hands with the Span
lard and helped the surgeon to uniace his
shoes it was really study to watch the
surprised expressions of the other Span

smaller craft of the bIockading squadron.
and this is doubtless in conformity with
a general plan of action. which seeks to
utilize to good advantage the period Of
necessary inaction caused by the yellow
fever outbreak among the troops at San
tiago and the realization that further land
operations in Cuba must be postponed until
a more healthful season. The affair at
Manzanillo was one of these enterprises,
resulting in considerable loss to the Span
iards without infiicting any dam se upon
the American vessels.
