LONDON, May 2.-Tne daring feat
Of Commodore Dewey, commencing
the American Asiatic squadron now at
the Philippine Islands, in engaging the
strong Spanish fleet under the very
guns of the formidable shore batte rie

admiring comment all over England to

the Americans, who " ith pluck like
that which animated Lord Nelson an d

and obstructions of every sort, caring

and fight the Americans without fur

fleets.
That the Americans won complete
and decisive victory as a result of the
battle is not doubted here for an in
staut, although most of the dispatches,
being from Spanish sources, speak in
every other line of the glorious valor
of the Spanish arms and the defeat OF
the Yankees.
The first reports from Madrid came
to hand at 6 O'Clock last night. While
they did not say that the Americans
had been repulsed they sought to give
the impression that the Spanish had
held their own, and that victory for
Spain was assured.
Brief dispatches that then began to
scatter in contained the admission tina

Spain had sustained serious but honor
able losses, and finally that several
ships had been sunk by their crews to
prevent them from falling into the
hands OF the Americans.
Then the truth began 70 dawn, and
rejoicing knew no bounds. Excite.
mept runs high, as it is thought here
that the defeat of the Spanish flee,

ii appears to US quite unreasonable for
Europe to protest If America is the
sanctuary Of miscreants who are justly
branded as world enemies. 1t is Amer
lea that has most cauI to complain OF
Europe in such a case. We do not want
them. In fact. our laws distinctly pro-
hibit the landing of persons who are
suspected of a disposition toward law
lessness. We are necessarily less
able to discriminate between honest i'm
migrants and scoundrels from Europe
than the authorities of the countries
from which they come. There is only
too much ground to suspect that Eu-
rope is glad to send its dangerous char
acters TO US. If, when they come, they
continue their plottings against Eu-
rope, we are not able to prevent it.
For Europe to unload her conspira-
tors on our shores and then show re-
sentiment because We do not penetrate
their secrets and prevent the execution
of their designs is unreasonable.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 1898.
Expedftfng Evacuation.

Ii is now evident that the American
Commission in Cuba has reached the
important understanding that the island
must pass into American control al the
earliest practicable moment. The situ-
alton there has been unbearable. One
of the supreme causes Of American in
tcrvention in the Cuban war was ths
necessity of saving as many as posi-
BILE of the people from the starvation To
which the Spaniards had deliberately
condemned them. When the fighting
ceased through the signing of the pro-
tocol, there We're still about five thou
sand left of the four hundred thousand
reconcentrados. The attempt to get
supplies to these was blocked by Cen
eral Blanco, and all the unhappy sur
yiyors have since died. In Havana
and throughout the islands are thou
sands of people who were prosperous be-
fore the war. Many were wealthy.
They are now without any means of
living and are dying of starvation.
It was this condition that induced the
President to urge the Commission to
open other subordinate ports besides
Santiago. At two. Spanish authority
has been abolished and provisions will
be allowed free entry. This, however,
does not relieve the increasing distress
in Havana, and especially it does not
prevent the mischievous Spaniard from
creating complications that will in
crease the natural difficulties OF Ameri-
can Administration. The reports which
The Times published this morning
from Havana indicate that many who
were apparently favorable to annexa-
ton have been influenced in the direc-
ton of independence. This would not
matter but for the fact that the inde-
pendence movement is premature and
aims at the immediate withdrawal OF
the Americans. Suspicion and the
spirit of antagonism are fostered blythe
Spanlards, who now profess to have the
welfare Of the Cubans at heart and tc

Needless Philippine Troubles.

The Europeans at Manila, including
the correspondents of the London jour
nails. confirm in every particular the
opinion repeatedly expressed by The
Times as TO the aims and actions OF
Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader. They
affirm that he has been strictly loyal to
the Americans, obeying every order,
whether accompanied by offensive
threats or not; and that any American
with the least knowledge of the native
character could quickly arrange mat
ters with him so there would be no
further suspicious and reports of wild
schemes for insurgent supremacy. In
short. they repeat almost word for
word the statements of this journal.
Tie rumors of Aguinaldo's disposition
To or.lSarrass the Americans, and posi-
tive assertions of treachery on his part,
are due to the underhand work of the
clerical party that has preyed on the
unhappy islanders and now hates the
insurgents a great deal more than il
hates the devil. The utter inability of
and motives of the natives makes them
the easy instrument of the mischief
brewers.
Long ago The Times urged the Gov
ernment To send Consul Wildman to
! Manila. He has become acquainted
with the natives, and he is fully trust
ed by Aguinaldo. That we should re-
| fuse to take advantage of this, when
the attitude of the insurgents is the

there isn't one in two dozen who ever says ex-

that are masked by good eocution but would
look shockingly bad in cold type. Take the aver.
age after-dinner speaker. for instance, who isn't

Here is fair sample from old note book

it is that the speaker is ready to swear, in nine
cases ont of ten that that was exactly what he
said
