A Spanish Characieriari

In The Stars news columns yesterday
appeared this statement:
Admiral Sampson also telegraphed to
the department today that Capt. Concas of
the spanish navy, who was reported to
have been killed in the destruction of the
Spa nlSn squadron. is alive, wounded and on
the hospital ship Solace. This officer is well
known in the United States having brought
the columbian carayels across the Atlantic
10 Chicago for exhibition at the world s
ialr- he was very popular at the time. but
lost the regard of a good many of his
American admirers when Just before the
outbreak of the war with Spain, he deliver
ed before the Geographical Society in Mad
rlu Ditter diatrfbe directed against the
personal qualities of the American people "
How very much alike in their character
istics the Spanish officials seem to be, Ali
suaVlty and punctflio and pretended friend
ship to ones face. but all venom and sour
ril1ty and treachery behind ones back. The
United States has had quite an experience
with some of these gentlemen of late.
One can easily imagine Captain Concas
the recipient of many pleasant attentions
at Chicago and elsewhere during his visit
to the country in 1893 Doubtless. too, his
entertainers were led to believe that he
was duly aPpreciative of everything that
was being done for him. But as it turns
out ne was making little notes all the time
which he was subsequently to use in A
carefully prepared denunciation of his
hosts.
Senor De LONE during his official resi-
dence Iii Washington received every atten-
ton Cue TO his station and to his personal
accomplishments If the Americans have A
sOod side he saw it. But he too proved TO
be sneak While giving the President his
hand in public he was writing him down
ike a blackguard in his private CORES
pondence.
Senior Polo turned out to be a detractor
OF the same kidney. His stay was short
and at a time of great embarrassment.
But he received only courtesies at the
bands of officials and the public This.
however, did not prevent him from abusing,
the people of the United States after he
reached Canada, and drawing on his inlag-
inauon for insults which were never Of
fered to him.
The capers of Carranza. SobraI and Du
Bose were of less moment but all in the
same line. Like master, like man. They
copied the examples that had been set
them as faithfully as possible, and lied
about the American people without stint.
SuH. Captain Concas as our prisoner is
entitled 10 as considerate treatment as was
accorded to him while he was here as our
guest. And he will receive it, and will have
thus exhibited TO him the kindness and
consideration of the American people in
another form. And when the war is over
end he returns home he will probably re-
pay those attentions in the same way that
he did the others

Politics In New York.

There Is an old-time political fight on in
New York. With Tammany in office again
the honesty of elections is threatened In
the city. and as the city poll often deter
mines the result in the state the republi-
cans will naturally take every possible pre-
caution against fraud.
The question now agitating republican
circles relates to what should be done.
The republicans control the legislature.
and that body is now In extra session; but
there is a disagreement about a remedy for
correcting Mayor Van Wyck's recent manip-
ulation OF the police board by which demo-
cratic advantage at the election Is sought
to be gained Governor Black and Mr..
Piatt are divided on the subject, and this
adds to the republican discontinue
An occasional hint Is thrown out that Mr..
Platt does net desire the denomination of
Governor Black, who has been to large
extent man Of his own mind In Office 1t

Verdict of the Vicinave.

FROM Inc fhffauelphfa Press.
The unanimity with which the leading
newspapers on the Pacific coast-repubiican
and democrattc-express satisfaction over
the annexation of Hawaii is strong evi-
dence that Congress made no mistake when
1t passed the Newlands resolution. The
people on the western coast of the United
States are 5000 miles nearer the Sandwich
Islands than the people on the Atlantic
coast; they have had more frequent COM
mrnication and know better what the
Islands are worth. and consequently when
they indorse annexation their word shouId
be taken as having weight on the subject.
1t Is simply verdict of the vicinage.
