1t is reported that the cordial welcome of
the Americans by the rorto Ricans recon-
Giles the authorities at Madrid TO the loss
OF that island. They express both surprise
and disgust But why? What right had
they to expect that the Porto Ricans would
fiercely resist the invasion? Their demon
strations Of welcome TO the Americans are
a trife hystericaI, as the first result of
temperament and finding themselves in the
presence Of a conquering force. but they
show plainly enough that Spain had no
warm place in the hearts OF her subjects
As matter OF fact, she has never tried
to make such place for herself Despotic
force has been the only means she has ever
employed toward her people. and that does
not produce affection in any quarter of the
globe
The people of Cuba, there is every reason
TO believe, feel toward the Americans as
do the Porto Ricans, and will welcome their
presence quite as heartily. They are thor
Oughly tired of Spanish rule and want
peace and prosperity. They know that
only American power can drive Spain out
and they are impatient for the day when
that power shall be exercised.
Information from Manila justifes the be-
lief that American control there, now al
hioSt dt manu-, Will De bdl4eQ as 4 blessing
by the people. Let the Spanish commander
and his troops quit the place tomorrow and
General Merritt and his troops march in
and scenes somewhat similar to those now
being enacted in Porto Rico would take
place. The only thing standing in the way
anywhere in the Spanish colonies of well
come to the Americans is an armed force
sent from the peninsula and controlled from
Madrid
The Spanish authorities at Madrid are
only pretending TO be surprised by these
manifestations in Porto Rico. They knew
that Spain had no other hold on her distant
subjects but grim force, and that when this
was shaken all would be lost. Their folly,
therefore, in resisting the American de-
mands for peace for Cuba amounts to a.
crime. They have spent, 1t Is estimated.
the equivalent of three hundred and fifty
million dollars, and sacrificed the lives Of
one hundred thousand soldiers only to strip
Spain of her colonies and make her bank
rupt both in means and prestige. 1t is no
wonder that peace negotiations are going
through such juggle in their hands, and
that they have fear of losing their places
It Is probable also that they are a little
concerned about their heads.

A Venezuelan Journalistic Acrobat.

In Its issue of June 10 last The Star re-
ferred edItorially to the pro-Spanish atti-
tude of certain classes in Venezuela, citing
extracts from Ell Pregonero, a Caracas
newspaper, to show that in some quarters.
at least, there was ardent sympathy for
the en- my, whereas it would seem from
recent history that Venezuela should feel
no other sentiment but that of enthusiastic
friendliness and gratitude toward the
United States. 1t is pleasant to learn from
The Stars correspondent at Caracas, whose
letter is printed elsewhere today, that a
change has come over the spirit of the
Venezuelan Spaniard's dreams, and that
he is now able to see things in their true
light This is particularly gratifying, as 1t
was possible that Ell Pregonero's first COM
ments might have created the impression
In this country that Americans would no
longer find Venezuela the same hospitable
field for their commercial operations. Moth
ing could be more complete than FL Prego-
nero's recantation. The change of heart
seems on its face to be genuine. In the
issue from which The Star obtained its ex-
tract printed June 10 Ell Pregonero said:
Let others welcome this dark prospect
as an aurora of liberty for our Cuban
brethren; let them prepare in this contest
of races to applaud, II they will, though not
from political motives, the discontinue if
not the humiliation, Of our race. For our
