The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1898-12-03

The negro soldiers at Santiago
are reported to have committed ell
kinds Of outrages upon the people
of that helpless city. The latest
one is an attack by d party Of the
9Th so-called Imnunss, on a house
at San Luis occupied by Cubans,
where they killed fodr or five Of
the inmates including an infant.
Gen. Wood is investigating the
outrage and has offered a good re-
ward for the capture of the mis-
creants. If such conduct is toler-
ated it won't be long before the
American troops will be more ex-
ecrated perhaps than were the
Spaniard. The negro soldiers
should be recalled and promptly
disbanded, as they have shown
themselves totally untitled to wear
the country's Uniform and to bear
arms.-Shreveport Outlook.

The Philadelphixs Record very
truthfully says: S"1f We should
get the Philippines we would have
to send an army and battleships
to hold them; we would have to
build forts to defend themI we
would have tc tie them to the
mainland and to each other with
cables, and we would have to 60
vern them as dependencies"
The fact is, the problem Of get
ting back our money IN repayment
for this necessary expenditure
would be the most troublesome
material consideration with which
we would have to dsah As yet mo
advocate of the policy of expan-
sion has satisfactorily fathomed
the financial side of the matten
What knowledge we have of the
dealings of Spain with the island
ers goes to show that there was
more loss than profit for the Span
ish government, and surely no hu-
maintarian, even though a Jingo,
will favor more oppressive 60
vernment for the natives than that
under which they have been crush-
ed for 80 many years. The indi-
rect advantages to be obtained by
means of an established naval
foothOld in the line of commerce
with China and Japan are equally
matters of speculative estimate.
The Jingo mind has, of course, al
ready been made up ON the SUBJ
ject, but it is more than doubtful
if the bulk of the American peo-
pie who have given the subject of
expansion consideration have been
able to decide one way or the
other, as they have not the facts
upon which to build decisive opin-
ions. 1t is a very great misfor-
tune that the elections come OH 50
swiftly upon the heels of the war,
when the public mind was underia
great strain and the glsmor of the
conflict had not passed away. If
there had been time for a CAM
pain of education no question but
the result would have been very
different.

Does Not Want Any Men in His Regiment
VINO DO Nothing But Dream.

Col ". w. Rodgers has gotten his
regiment about ready to answer the call
to arms He anticipates no trouble
whatever in filing the incompleted
ranks. The chief trouble arises from
the fact that all of the applicants want
to be officers. The Colonel, however, is
rejecting all such men, and he wants it
distinctly understood that he does not
want any men who do nothing but
dream.
Yesterday afternoon Attorney W. P.
Robinson, on behalf of the many admir-
ing friends OF the Colonel, presented
him with a handsome field piece, fully
mounted. The cannon is a masterpiece
and is ready for instant use. The Col
onel. in few well chosen remarks,
thanked his friends for their kindness.
Colonel Rogers has received assur-
ances from Adjutant General Appleton
that the Governor has great deal OF
confidence in his undertaking, and that
he will be the first to receive recognl-
tion if needed
