Rennrtee Mt the vatican.

Here is another from Hon. George Rus
sells COLLECTION and Reeollections:" A
friend of mine in the diplomatic service,
visiting Rome in the old days of the tenn
poral power, had the honor of an inter
view with Pho Mono. The Pope graci-
ously offered him a cigar-'I am told you
will find this very fine" The Englishman
made that stupidest of all answers:
Thank Your Holiness, but I have no
vices" This isn't a vice; if 1t was you
would have it," Another repartee from
the vatican reached me a few years ago,
when the German Emperor paid his visit
to Leo XIII. Count Herbert Bismarck
was in attendance on his imperial master,
and when they reached the door of the
Pope's audience chamber the Emperor
passed in, and the Count tried to follow.
A gentleman of the papaI court motioned
him to stand back, as there must be no
third person at the interview between the
Pope ana the Emperor. Il am Count
Herbert Bismarck" shouted the German
as he struggled to follow his master.
That" replied the Roman, may ac-
count for, but does not excuse your con-
duct"

Everyone sat f1abbergasted. The master
WINGED with annoyance; and then, bend

room?" and rose from his chair 1t was
really a stroke of genius thus both to
terminate and to rebuke the improperly
without violating the decorum due from
host to guest"
AT dinner at Balliol the masters guests
were discussing the careers of two Balliol
men, the one of whom had just been
made judge and the other bishop. Oh
said Henry Smith, I think the bishop is
the greater man. A judge, at the most,
can only say, ''You be hanged but
bishop can say, you be damned" - Yes
Enthusiastically twittered the master,

"a kid in one of our companies" said
the adjutant of a volunteer regiment the
other night, according to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat came to my tent and in
formed me that he needed a candle. I
asked him if he would not compromise
on horse and buggy, but he took it
very serious, and insisted that he needed
the candle. l then asked him if he had
been able to see any candles about the
camp, and he told me that he had. Then =
said l, be a good soldier and see if You
cannot forage for what you want The
young cub saluted and walked off, and
saw no more of him that day. The next
morning, however, 1 missed a bath towel
and a few cakes of fine soap. The next
day half dozen candles and a very neas
lantern, in which 1 had taken no little
pride, were missing, and the next day a
pair of blankets and a can of Clipped
beef were nowhere to be found Finally
this sort of thing became so oppressive
that l was Obliged to withdraw my IN
structions to that enterprising boy and
call halt on his foraging propensities.

Frau Wagner condescended to leave

Capt. Charles V. Grldley, commander
of Admiral Dewey's flagship Olympia, in
the battle of Manila speaking on his
deathbed of the expedition which the gov
eminent is sending to the Philippines, said:
II feel sorry for those boys they are send
ing out to Manila. They are in more dam
ger from the scourges of the country than
from Spanish bullets. The heat is simply
damnable, and they are sure to sicken.

Germany and the PHILIPPINES.

There is only one reason for thinking
that Germany is preparing to interfere at
Manila for the purpose Of preventing us
from acquiring possession of the Philip
pines, and that is the number of warships
which she has collected there. There are
five of these warships, and it Is stated that
there are two others in Chinese waters,
which have been ordered there.
Germany, however, says she doesn't in
tend 10 Interfere. and there Is no good
reason except the one mentioned, to sup
pose she is not acting in good faith.
1t was said some days ago that she had
decided to land marines at Manila to pro-
tect German residents and property, but
that statement may have been without any
substantial foundation. German interests
in Manila are in no danger, and Germany
knows they are not. If, therefore, she
should land marines it would be with some
other object in view than to protect Ger
man residents and property. To land ma
rines, however, would be a hostile act and
would be treated by Admiral Dewey as
such.
But If Germany has any intention of IN
terferiug at Manila she viii take a second
thought of the ACCESSIBILITY of doing SC, now
that the first part of Gen. Merrltts army
has arrived there, and has been landed al
Cavite. Within a very few days the sec
ond part of his army will have arrived
and with it the powerful monitor Monte
rey. With the Monterey to assist him, Ad.
miral Dewey viii have a naval force at
his command that can easily resist all OF
the warships which Germany has in the
east.
Germany knows very wen that even
with war with Spain on their
hands. the United States wouldn't hesitate
! 10 resent her interference in their affairs
II is probable therefore, that we shall moi
hear any more at present about trouble
with Germany, but when our war witt
| Spain is ended, and the question of what
shan be done with the Philippines comes VI

of the islands, and may try to get Russia

shafter md Sampson.

Gen. Shafter and Admiral Sampson have
done their work wen, and the American
people accord them the fun measure OF
praise to which they are entitled. It Is
true that Santiago is not yet in our pos
session, but it might as well be. There
is no doubt that the Spaniards will sur
render when the armstlce is ended, if, in
deed, they do not do SO sooner.
Gen. Shafter could have taken the city
with very little effort when he demanded
its surrender. The reason he did not do
so is, undoubtedly, that he did not want
to sacrifice a single one of his soldiers un-
necessarily; neither did he wish to inhict
unnecessary injury upon the Spaniards or
the people of Santiago.
Why the Spaniards asked for twenty
four hours in which to consider Gen.
Skaters demand for their SURRENDER is
not clear. unless it was that they hoped
to get out of the city by some unguarded
pass and join the forces of Gen. Pando,
who it has been stated, has been trying
to reach Santiago to assist them 1t a.
pears from our dispatches this morning
however, that Gen. Pando has reached
Santiago.
The Spaniards knew, of course, when the
Spanish squadron attempted to leave
the harbor that 1t was no longer
possible to successfully defend San
uago. The squadron would have
remained if there had been a
fair prospect of being able to hold the
place. Therefore, the dash which the
Spanish squadron made for the open sea
meant that the Spanish general and the
Spanish admiral regarded it as impossi-
bic to hold out any longer against the
American army and navy.
And If Santiago was untenable for the
Spanish warships, the Spanish army there
can have no hope of being able to hold
the place The warships We're a tower
of strength. Their absence leaves the
harbor open to our warships, which can
now attack Santiago and the Spanish
troops cooped up therein.
The thought that the Spaniards mean
to resist further is not for a moment to
be entertained. There will be no further
lighting there. The victory is complete.
And particularly is it complete so far
as the Spanish squadron is concerned. The
best ships of Spain's navy have ceased to
exist. They are wrecks along the coast
of Cuba. They were better ships-very
much better-than those which Admiral
Dewey destroyed In the harbor of Manila.
In fact, they were as fine ships of their
class as are to be found in any navy in
the world, Admiral Sampson, however,
has more powerful ships than Admiral
Dewey has. But each Admiral did the
work assigned to him remarkably we'll
so well that the world is wondering how
he could have SO utterly destroyed his en-
envy and suffered so few casualties among
his own men and SO little damage to his
ships.

Have We Made n Mistake ?


The English newspapers are making a
great many comments, in a friendly spirit,
upon our war with Spain. They regard
themselves as being particularly well In
formed on every subject, but especially
upon the subjects of war and diplomacy.
The Daily Graphic thinks we committed
great blunder in not letting Santiago and
Manila alone and devoting our whole at
tention to Havana.
That appears to be a very reasonable
criticism to one who who has given the
war little or no thought. As matter of
fact we had no intention of attacking Ma
Mia and capturing the Philippines when
the war with Spain began. The battle of
Manila was forced upon us. Admiral
Dewey, with his fleet, was IN a Chinese
port He couldn't stay there under the
neutrality laws. He had to find a new
base at once, from which to operate, and
he was told to find the Spanish fleet, and
either capture or destroy it, and thus
make a new base for himself in that part
of the world. 1t is doubtful if he had
any idea of taking possession of the Phil
ippines when he received this order.
But when he had destroyed the Spanish
fleet it became apparent that he would
have to take possession of the Philippines
or take his squadron out of Asiatic wa
ters. That was not to be thought Of
Therefore, he remained at Manila, and he
will have possession of that city in a day
or two, If, in fact, he hasn't possession of
it now. Can the taking possession of Ma
Mia be regarded as a blunder under the
circumstances? We hardly think so.
Now, as to Santiago: We did not at
tack that place on account of any import
ance it possesses. We attacked il in or
der to reach and destroy the Spanish
squadron in its harbor. That squadron
would have been a serious obstacle to our
prosecuting the war against Cuba sue
cessfully. With the ships of that squad
ron a1oat, Spain could have made il diff
cult, if not impossible, for us to land
troops in Cuba Two ships of the squad
ron were swift cruisers of the protected
class and would have given us a great deal
of trouble.
1t was absolutely necessary that the
! ships Of that squadron should be removed
from the sea. They have been removed,
and we shall not in future be afraid that
our ships, carrying troops to Cuba, will
be interfered with by Spanish warships.
1t is not apparent, therefore that the Daily
! Graphic has any ground for saying that
we blundered in attacking Manila and
| Santiago.
