The future of the Philippines is to be
determined by commission. This on
the whole seems to be wise provision.
It will give time and opportunity to
learn all about these islands and their
population and the difficulties that will
confront US if we undertake to govern
them. Before the war began nothing was
known about these islands in this country
but their bare existence, and our informa-
ton is not very extensive now. The Ca
pacity of the people for self government
is very questionable to say the least, and
their wi llingness to let us govern them is
also questionable. If We are going to dis
possess the Spaniards we shall be under
obligation to see that better government
follows. If self government won't pro-
duce better results then we must govern
them ourselves. What this would lie
likely to cost us in human life and taxes
perhaps Mr.. NcKinley's commissioners
will find out and then the
1eople will be able to make

Gen. Woods vigorous government OF
Santiago has shocked the Spanish civil
governor into expressing much
indignation. One thing the latter
is especially inoensed about is Gen.
Woods order for the prompt report of
deaths under a penalty of working 80
days on the streets. The Spaniards have
never made any fuss about yellow fever
and the deaths it caused, but accepted
it as a matter of course. Why shouldn't
the Americans? The Spanish governor
can't see why.

Now that the war, as far as Spain IL
concerned, is practically over the only OBJ
stacle to complete peace lies in the d1spo-
sition of the people on whose behalf we
have been fighting. Unfortunately they
Go not show the inclination that could
be desired to accept the blessings we are
anxious to shower upon them without
questioning. Their idea of blessings and
ours do not exactly coincide, and they
are manifesting very disagreeable in
clination to resist blessings when they
are not of exactly the kind they expected.
In our lexicon self government for Cuba
is defined to be government acceptable
to the majority, but the Interpretation
put upon it by Garcia and his insurgent
followers was government by them instead
of the Spanish, and they are showing
signs of great aversion to having our idea
substituted for theirs. Aguinaldo, the
Philippine lnsurgent leader, though at
first pliable, has developed strong de-
sire to set up government in the Phil
ippines, with himself at the head of it,
probably. If we stay in these islands
we shall certainly have to knock this
idea out of his head, and it may be a
pretty costly job to do it. There may be
considerable lighting yet before US, not
with Spain, but with our ungrateful
wards whom we went to war to bless,
and who now are inclined to insist that
they don't want to be blessed in our way.

The signs all pOlnb TO Inc acceptance
by Spain of cur terms of peace without
material modification. The fear that the
people might object to the surrender of SC
much territory as our demands cali for
appears to have been unfounded. The
fact seems to be that the great mass of
them are in favor of peace at almost any
sacrifice, believing that no sacrifice will
be likely to be demanded equal to that in
volved in the continuance of the war.
The colonies they appear to care little
about, because perhaps they have learned
by hard experience that however great
source of income they may be to the
crown or to the officials who undertake
to govern them, they are a constant drain
upon the masses Even Don Carlos,
who locked forward to the opening OF peace
negotiations as likely to furnish him
q favorable opportunity to raise the
standard Of revolt. and lowered about the
Spanish border that he might be at hand
promptly to take advantage of 1t, has re-
turned to Switzerland, and his followers
have lost heart. The military leaders
whose attitude has caused apprehension,
have all or nearly all, given in the adhe-
sion to he existing dynasty. Indeed. al
most all the leaders and political factions
from which trouble was apprehended,
have either allied themselves with the
reigning dynasty or have found the peace
sentiment too strong to be resisted.
