THE SPANISH FLEET.

Two American fleets have been on
|e watch during the past week for
|e Spanish feet In Cuban waters but
I've been unsuccessful in bringing on
1 engagement. Our fleets are slower
Ian that of the Spaniards and con-
|quently it is hard to force them to a
hit until they are ready. Their feet
composed of swift and powerful
|uisers, a type of which we have but
10. the New York and Brooklyn, land
|r battleships, while more than a
hitch for them in a fight, cannot
|ertake them in race. Our power
monitors have been stationed be-
Re Havana harbor and they can pre-
hit the feet from entering there.

tuable as sea going vessels are great

face, but rainfalls occurring under try
ing tropical conditions, which call for
great care among those not acclimat
ed in the character Of the food eaten
nd clothing worn, if sickness and
death in many instances are to be
prevented. It is said that the tre-
mendous mortality that during the
last three years has occurred among
the Spanish troops in Cuba has been
SO far due to climatic conditions that
from ten to twenty Spanish soldiers
have died from disease to one who has
insurgents.
For this reason we are strongly of
the opinion that, if Rear Admiral
Dewey can easily hold his position at
Manila, it would be much the better
plan to see that the expedition is
started off with all of the supplies in
the way of food, clothing, shelter and
medicine that human foresight can
suggest than to hurry off the regi-
ments and subject them after arrival
to these trying experiences WlGhOuU
proper equipment. We would also
suggest that our government would
do we'll if it doubled the ordinary med
ical staffs of the regiments that are
detailed for this service, or, what
would be better, have a special medi-
cal force, with body Of nurses sent
as an auxiliary to the expedition.
That foresight which leads to proper
preparation at this time may on this
expedition alone be equivalent to the
lives Of hundreds and possibly thous
ands of men.-Boston Herald.

THE PHILIPPINE EXPEDITION.

Some comment has been made upon
San Francisco the troops intended to
assist Rear Admiral Dewey in his oc-
cupation of Manila. The authorities
at Washington must have been aware
of the ntention of the commander of
our Asiatic squadron to enter the bay
of Manila, defeat the Spanish fleet
and take possession, because it is un-
derstood that he was acting under di-
rect orders in doing as he did. But
for some reason it was not considered
necessary to undertake the prelimi-
nary work of preparing a land force
to support him after he had succeeded
in his undertaking. Indeed, until
Rear Admiral Dewey's report was re-
ceived, containing the request made
by him to have military assistance, it
seems doubtful whether those in
charge of directing our army affairs
had ever thought that the Philippine
islands would be a destination to
which quite a number of American
soldiers would have to be sent.
1t is not an easy task to instantly
prepare and ship $4,000 to $4,000 reg
ular troops on an expedition nearly
half way round the world, and the
task becomes much harder when the
expeditionary force is made up of vol
unteer troops. These men, sent by
the various states, must of necessity
be poorly supplied with the equip
ments needed for ordinary service in
our own country; but when it is taken
into account that the service required
is in a country well down near the
equator, that the food, clothing, pro-
lection, and all that goes to make
soldier useful factor in time of war,
have to be !ofs,a different character
from those needed in our northern
preparation is one which cannot be
satisfactorily finished in a few days.
time. 1t is we'll that Rear Admiral
Dewey is in a position to hold his own
and mark time, as it were, while the
detachment of our army is preparing
to assist him, because we question
whether an efficient body of troops,
even to the amount of thousand or
two, can reach him much before the
first of July.
1t is said that some of the regiments
that are TO make up the Philippine ex-
peditiOn have been encamped near
San Francisco, and that they have
suffered severely in the rainfall
which has visited the Pacific coast
within the last few days, rainfall
that, in spite of the annoyance and
possibly distre IS which it has caused
our soldiers, has been a perfect god
send to California, in that it has
broken the drought which threatened
to temporarily paraIyze the agricul-
t1ral industries of that state. But if
our soldiers were i'll prepared for this
experience, it would indicate that
with the equipment they now possess
they are hardly ready to be immedi-
ately landed in the Philippine islands
and subjected to the experiences
which they must Inevitably endure
during the coming summer season.
The wet season in the Philippines be-
gins in July and continues until the
end of October, during which time
the rain comes down in enormous
quantities.
1t is not only these tremendous rain
falls which our soldiers will have to

GLADSTONE PASSES BEYOND.
Gladstone has gone.

Gladstone has gone.
Though like Moses he was permit
ted to view the promised land of
home rule and freedom, it was not
vouchsafed him to enter the domain,
as he had hoped to do in patriotic tri-
umph.
Yet what wonderful work it was
given to this veteran English states
man to accomplish. At period IN
life when most men think only of rest
and sleep, he planned and fought that
great campaign which brought to
Westminster for the first time ma
| jority pledged to tho principle of
home rule for Ireland.
Gladstone was an Englishman OF
Englishmen. Yet, though he was
thoroughly loyal to the crown, he be-
! lieved with all his heart that royalty,
''broad- based upon the peoples will" !"
as Tennyson expressed it, was the
only royalty worthy to exist in this
| 10Th century. A consistent member
of the church of England, he never
could lend himself to any effort to set
up that religious establishment or
any other over people not in SYM
pathy with its forms or holding to its
dogmas.
Stricken down by serious illness at
a time when the liberal cause stood
most in need of its great leader, Glad
stone never gave up his faith in home
rule, though the fortunes Of the lib
eral party, for a long term, were at
their lowest ebb. That great political
Organization stands to-day pledged
by honor, as well as precedent, to
home rule. The conservative party,
IN its strenuous endeavor to prevent
the restoration of liberalism to power,
has carried through limited local
Belf-government measure for Ireland
which it is safe to say would never
have been adopted but for Gladstone,
md which logically points toward
home rule, whose ultimate triumph it
oreshadows.
1t can be said with truth that Glad
tone was not one of those men who,
being Bourbons by nature, go through
fe learning nothing except at the
chool of prejudice. There was an
Inconsistency in his career that often,
hough not always, found noble ex
ression and that stamps him as the
xemplar of the ideas of modern prog
ess in Britain. Nothing could we'll
g finer than the cheerful patience
nd true Christian philosophy with
Fhich he awaited the long anticipated
nd hoped-for end of life on earth.
Not without faults, not without
hortcomings was England's grand old
IAN. But he was great leader and
great power in his country for many
long year. Gladstone will live in
rateful honor for what he has done,
nd, warmly cherishing his memory,
is CO. workers in and out of parlia-
lent should press on all the more de-
otedly in the path which their great
hampton has marked out-a path
hich, however beset by distractions,
ndrances and delays here and there,
rely leads to the goal of high sue
bss.-Erchdnge.
