States had no selfish designs on Cuba. In
the opinion of the United States, therefore,
the people of Cuba have already declared
for freedom.
Respecting the protection which the Unit
ed States should afford in Cuba pending
the establishment of the new order of
things that may with entire safety be left
to the United States to decide. The Star
Saturday made some observations on this
subject The responsibility is with the
United States, and 1t may be relied upon to
appreciate it fully and meet it thoroughly.
The new government must not only be sta
Bile, but satisfactory to all interests con-
cerned. Life and property must be secure,
and law-abiding people of all classes must
be free to work out their own legitimate
ends. In word, where Spain erected and
maintained a bloody despotism, a free gov
eminent, of. by, and for the people, is to
rise.
Spain need not, and should not be permit
ted to concern herself further about Cuba.
Her failure has been monumental and
criminal A worse government than hers
has been is not possible in the island, and
an infinitely better one will be established
without any suggestions from her what
ever. After she has thoroughly considered
the meaning of that piece of red sandstone
the future proceedings ought to interest her
no more.

spain's SoiicfIude Tor CuLa

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press states, on what he as
serts Is high authority" that, when terms
or peace come TO be formally discussed be-
tween Spain and the United States. Spain
Will insist that the United States consent
to do one of two things with respect to Gu
ba- First, to agree to submit TO a plebscite
OF all of the population of Cuba competent
to vote the question whether Cuba shall or
shall not come under the sovereignty of the
United States; or, in the second place. the
United States must pledge itself in its
treaty with Spain that il will establish a
government in Cuba and maintain long
enough to make 1t plain to the people of
Cuba that II will be adequate, satisfactory
and permanent, and that while any gov
eminent that the United States may aid in
establishing there is being put to the test.
the United States shall maintain its au-
Ihority or it's protection"
Would it not be better for Spain to say
nothing about Cuba on that occasion?
When her flag comes down as the result of
her long criminal misgovernment there her
right TO speak will cease. From that time
the question of government for Cuba will
become one for the United States and the
people Of Cuba to settle, ard they are en-
tirely competent for the task
Congress by its action has forestalled the

that the people of Cuba ''of a right ought

The District Troops in Good Health

The brief bulletin in The Star from It's
special correspondents at the front, re-
ceived today. regarding the good health of
the District troops Is exceedingly crafty
ing and reassuring. In the reports of the
fever's spread thus far no mention has
been made n the official or unofficial dis
patches of those who had become infected
and it has been in consequence impossible
TO ascertain whether individual soldiers or
particular organizations had fallen VIC
Tins to the scourge. This policy Is doubt
less wise. because the regular noting of
the individuals who are taken to the hos.
pitai for fever treatment would keep the
country in a constant state of alarm and
apprehension. Today's dispatch to The
Star shows that the fever has not reached
the District regiment and that the men are
comfortable and happy. Previous informa-
ton indicated that they were stationed on

Some so-called authorities and a scatter
Ing of plain citizens are voicing their
doubts as to the propriety CT the United
States taking possession of Porto Rico as
a result of this war with Spain. There are
two good reasons why Porto Rico should
become American territory, and these rea-
stns are sufficient to smother the weak
voiced cayillings of all critics. The first
reason is that Porto Rico will make a valu-
able bit Of American territory useful as a.
commercial outpost and as a naval station
such as this country has needed for many
years The second reason is that the motives
underlying the effort to rid Cuba of Spanish
rule are potent to cause the people of this
country to desire that the same process be
applied 10 Cuba's smaller sister in the
Antilles. The conditions that have led up
to this war of intervention threaten to de-
velop in the other island if Spain is per-
mitted 10 remain in possession. Theoreti-
calIy Spain is as bad a neigcbo in Porto
Rico as she has ever been in Cuba True
her territorial area of possible wickedness
and oppression is smaller in the former
case, but her capacity for rnisruIe is iden-
teal If there be reason for clearing Spain
out of Cuba there is similar reason for
clearing her out OF the other colony She
Is an undesirab Bile element in this vicinity
and she must be evicted for the peace and
comfort of the United States and the ad-
yancement of civilization. Porto Rico is
within the recognized sphere of American
influence, and can be populated and assim-
Hated by the republic with minimum of
difficulty. 1t is the one section of Spanish
territory which seems certain to fall i'm
mediately, completely and permanently into
American possession.

American Control in Cubn.

The Presidents proclamation providing
temporary government for Santiago and
vicinity is in accord with the plain necessi-
ties of the case. The American nag IS
flying there, and that fixes uron this gov
eminent the responsibility fvE law and or
der while the flag stays up 1t must call
to its aid in discharge of this duty the
best of local agencies, and by all good
means at its command subserve the ends
of peace and contribute to the rehabilita-
ton of the conquered territory.
Presumably. too, as the campaign in the
island progresses similar steps will follow
the success of the American arms. If Cuba
Is to fall into our hands piecemeal. Ameri-
can military control will be asserted and
established wherever the Spanish flag is
lowered. Then will come the day when
Spain is finally defeated and when the
American flag flies all over the island and
American control is complete. centrali-
ration of authority must then take place and
a general system of control established.
The United States will stand as the victor
over Spain. and Cuba and her fortunes
will rest under the protection of American
guns.
How long this situation is to continue
will in the nature of things depend on the
people OF CUBA permanent military con-
troll is not only not desired by them, but
Is not on the American cards. The war is
being fought to give freedom to Cuba, but
freedom. of course, which shall be enjoyed
by all the people in the island. The new
civil government when set up must be able
to sustain itself. must have the assent and
confidence of the people. and must repre-
sent In its purposes the general welfare.
Factlonalism or revenge should have no
part in its organization, nor be permitted
to direct any of its policies.
In word. when the war is over and
Spain is done for. the people of Cuba must
get together. Not those merely who with
arms in their hands fought Spain to a
staEdstill- Not merely those large prop
erty owners, who although tired of Span
ish nisrule were yet unwilling to take the
field to help overthrow it and stood thus
between the devil and the deep sea But
all the people of Cuba whose fortunes are
definitely cast in the island and who for
good or i'll, are there to stay. The new
government must represent all classes and
conditions. Then it will be stable and the
American flag can safely give place to the
Cuban flag.

Gen. RIanco for Revenge.

A member of the staff of General Blanco,
in denying the report that his chief at
tempted suicide when informed of Admiral
Cervera's defeat is quoted as saying:
..Only Yesterday 1 heard him say he re-
GREETED not being younger, so as TO be able
to consecrate his life to fighting the ma
ton which intends to humiliate his beloved
country.
If this correctly represents General Blan-
cos feelings and If a similar spirit ami
mates the bosoms of other Spanish lead
ers military and civil, Spain's future Is
hopeless, indeed. If when Spain lays down
her arms in this fight 1t is to be with the
intention of renewing it upon good oppor-
tunity, and her young men are to be nour-
ished upon hopes of revenge on the United
States by bloody play for even, then she
must be stark mad.
We have seen France commit such folly.
She yielded to Germany, but has ever
since cherished hopes of revenge. Her
whole policy since that war has been
pitched in the key of revenge. The world
has steadily and rapidly been advancing.
New fields have been opening up and great
enterprises projected, but in the main
France has lived in the past and been
incapable of forgetting Alsace and Lor-
raine. she must have them back at any
cost and infict upon Germany a humiIiat-
ing defeat. She has steered her course ac-
cordingly, and the result is, as eX-Ambas-
sador Eustis very forcibly pointed out last
year in the July number of the North
American Review, she has passed from a
first tc a second-ciass power. She has
thrown herself Historically into the arms
of Russia upon terms which promise her
nothing, but Russia everything. She Is
further today from accomplishing her one
pet object than she was twenty years ago.
Is Spain to ground arms and then retire
to perfect plans for recovering her lost
possessions? Are her leaders to cast about
for allies to assist in Furnishing the United
States and in running up the Spanish flag
again where 1t is now coming down? Are
the young men to "consecrate' their lives,
as Central Blanco would his if he were
young gain. to fighting the United States?
There is nothing for Spain in that direc-
ton. What she is losing now she is losing
for all time. Her inability to cope with the
United States will become greater from
year to year. The one country is In the
forward rank of the nations and will re-
main there, advancing with them and con-
stantiy becoming more powerful The 9TH
er, inevitably. faces a long period of de-
preston and a constantly diminishing
prestige.

The midsummer Stiffness concerning the
Spanish naval prisoners now in American
hands. to which The Star referred yester-
day, has already reached its logical ex-
IRENE in the proposition emanating from
Port Tampa to raise fund to buy home
on Tampa Bay for Cervera in recognition
of his humane treatment of Hobson, when
the latter was captured at Santiago. If
this be other than a real estate boom,
which it strongly suggests it is to be dis
cCuraged as one of the most idiotic enter
prises ever undertaken by supposedly sensi-
bic people. Cervera did nothing to Hob
sen but that which Is to be expected from
any commander in time of war. In all
likelihood he had very little to do with the
youns constructor who was quickly treat
ed as prisoner of the military commander
and not of the admiral

A good deal of flag raising Is being
6Cne just now by Americans. Sunday
the republics starry banner was hosted
over the palace roof at Santiago. A few
days ago the same emblem was raised over
Cavite arsenal. near Manila. On their way
over to the Philippines the men of the
cruiser Charleston replaced the Spanish
colors at the principal island OF the La
drone group with the Stars and Stripes.
Probably by now the same thing has been
done at the capital of the Carolines. Very
shortly the glorious old flag will float per-
manently from the same staff in Honolulu
from which it was taken down in 1893 by
orders of President Cleveland. San Juan

performance, while the day when Old Glory

Vicious Immigrants.


For the murder of a woman in Mulberry
street, New York, five Italians were arrest
ed. They had been only few years in this
country, and the detectives decided to look
up their records in the prefecture of DO
lice at Naples. 1t turns out that one of
them was convicted nine times in ltaIy of
theft and blackmail; another, sixteen times.
of assault, blackmail and attempt at muir
der; two others, six and nine times, respec-
lively, of various crimes: and the fifth.
twenty-one times, of assault, theft and at
tempt at murder. OF course it is well for
Italy that another nation stands ready to
take such scoundrels off her hands, But.
really, should We lose anything-except a
reputation for soft-headed hospitality-if
We enacted immigration laws that would
keep them out?
