Ine English Idea

The Chap-Book publishes an article
from an English correspondent on the
subject of American humor, and it is
way, which ever appeared in an Amer
lean magazine. The idea of this Eng
lishman, at which he has arrived after
deep cogitation. seems to be that We
have more humorists in America than
they have in England, but that they
are not as funny as the English hu-
morist. In other words, We have many
funny men. but no wit. This state of
things he lays to the fact that every
body is educated up to a certain level,
and there is no encouragement to rise
above that level-a conclusion which
will surprise nobody who IS familiar
with the dead level of the New York
population, for example. What en-
couragement is there for a New York
man to be a real wit? Everybody is
Just like everybody else in that me-
tropolis.

our noted humorists have spent some

whom this Engiishman is willing to
entitle wit, however, is James Russell
Lowell!

sions, and in a very delightful way. but
II is to be doubted whether his country
men would ever think of him as head
and shoulders above all the other

Our First Land Fight.

In the light of today's news of the
fight and losses at Guantanamo, it is
easy enough to understand why Ad-
miral Sampson should be uneasy over
the delay in starting General Skaters
expedition. 1t is evident that the ad-
miral landed his small force of marines
under the impression that they were to
be Immediately re-enforced. AS 1t hap
pened, they were not. All our available
lily kept at home to protect the War
Board from Spain's phantom fleet. con-
sisting of the bottleships Mania a potu
and Emperador Jimjamiano and the
protected beer schooners Paresis l and

destroyer boats were also numbered
with the dope" armada.
So the brave marines were left to
take their chances. while their comrades
of the Army sweltered and painfully
stewed to the consistency of corned
beef in the transports off Key West
and Tampa. Incidentally, We are fav-
ored with out first official gazette of
killed, wounded and missing officers and
men, in land fight. 1t will not be the
last in the vicinity of Santiago, where
the AIanana policy has afforded Ger
vera and Linares every opportunity to
prepare for desperate defense behind
entertainments.
We are glad to be informed that Sec
retary Alger is exasperated on account
of the dismal blunder into which he has
been led, much against his personal
wishes and judgment, as II is asserted
Nothing remains to be done but to rush
the Shafter expedition, and it will
doubtless be under way today, and
with good fortune, effect a landing by
Thursday. Unfortunately, the best that
General Alger can accomplish now will

Our Philippine Position.

There is a good deal of talk. espe-
cially in newspapers notorious for their
pas. cp, ,osition TO :hs annexation Of
Hawaii. concerning alleged per,ls y nich
tend TO embarIass or position in the
Philippine islands. The assumption is
that Aguinaldo AMI other leaders Of the
naive revolutit n, whila happy 10 have
us whip the Sp.aaiard5 for thein, have
no idea Of allowing the United States
to take possession OF the archipelago
without a fight. Jouin;.'s III ,he kind
mentioned assume that this prospect is
giving President Mckinley and his ad-
visers much uneasiness, which We do
rot in the least believe.
There is plenty of apparent evidence
that Aguinaldo is a man Of good sense
and political shrewdness, as well as mil
itary ability. If he understands the re-
lations of his native land to the Far
Eastern question, and to the territorial
ambitions of Japan, he will not require
to be told that an independent native
government, even if established with
the consent and by the aid of this coun-
COulu not idSl SiA i<aSoScS
could and would be made for European
intervention. Outrages are easily con-
structed when desired to cover aSSres-
sive operations, and il would not be
long before the Philippine leaders would
find their islands and people divided up
among, and subjugated by, the con-
tinental powers, with possible slice
to the eager japanese.
Such consequences of any attempt to
stand alone as nation would be so in
evitable. that We have no idea men
like Aguinaldo would think of meeting
them. On the contrary, we are pretty
sure that they will hail absorption by
free America with joy and confidence
that it will give them the practical free
dom and good government with tithe
of which they would have been con-
tented under Spanish rule.
Most of this croaking about the Phil
ippines is in the interest of those who
still hope by some accident or other
to defeat the annexation of Hawaii,
and who violently, if yet secretly, OPP
pose the larger proposition. They would
see the country's welfare and honor
strangled today if that would conduce
to sugar monopoly dividends.

THREATENED WITH FAMINE.
Provisions Growing Very Scarce n,
San Juan.

ST. Thomas. D. w. l., June 13.-Porto
Rican newspapers which have been re-
ceived here say that provisions are very
scarce in San Juan. The supply is barely
sufficient for two months.
Business there is practically suspended.
Exchange is now at 165.
The Italian steamer Centre America ar
rived here today from Ponce, Porto Ri
CO, with thirty-one refugees on board.
They all said there was great fear in
San Juan on Sunday that there was to
be another bombordment.
On the Centric America was Walter
Bett, who had beenza clerk in the employ
of Mr. Crawford. the British consul in
San Juan. Bett had been guarding the
house formerly occupied by United States
Consul Hanna. and says he was forced
to leave because he gave information to
Mr.. Hanna in regard to the mines and
Notifications in San Juan harbor.
Bett says that on his way to Ponce
from San Juan he was repeatedly insult
ed by the Spanish soldiers, who even went
so far as to prod him with their bayo-
nets. Mr.. Hanna has issued a state
ment to the newspaper correspondents in
which he says Bett deserves great credit
for what he has endured.

Stockton, Phoenix" H. c. Bunner, or
j. Gordon Coogler. it is impossible to
determine. AT any rate. he treats them
precisely as he would if they had never
existed.
He then proceeds 70 explain that
where We have one wit, England has
many, and that there is hardly any
comparison between the quality of the
wit in the two countries. The examples
which he gives in support of this po-
sition lead one to think that whether
an Englishman is funny In his serious
moods or not-and sometimes he is-he
is undoubtedly funny when he takes
himself humorously, and surveys him.
self, and proceeds to dissect himself to
find out how he is so funny. This Eng
lish critic cites as humorists of English
literature Carlyle, Newman and Ar
mold. He does not explain whether he
means Matthew Arnold or Sir Edwin
Arnold, but. judging from the counte-
nance of the author of Literature and
Dogma" We should say it was the
former, and that Literature and Dog
ma was his idea of hilarious joke.
The point which is most striking In his
argument, however, is the idea of Car
lyle considered as a humorist. 1t is
perfectly safe to say that that notion
never. by any chance. has entered the
head of any American. If Carlyle was
humorist, perhaps the richest product
of American wit is still to be discovered
on the tombstones in our cemeteries.
Bill Nye once said that he had one
darling wish which he hoped would be
fulfilled before he died, and it was to
see an English joke, stuffed and set up
in a lifelike position, and mounted on a
tombstone, where he could go and wor-
ship it all day long. But even Bill Nye
did not suspect how wonderful English
humor really is.

cHILDREN's DAY.
u Is Celebrated In Many Churches
In This City.

Children's Day was observed yesterday in
many of the churches throughout the city.
The services consisted of songs and reci-
tations by the children and special ad-
dresses TO them.
AT the first Congregational Church the
exercises consisted of a procession of the
Sunday school children and the erection
of a miniature church on the pulpit with
the contribution boxes-the contributions
given being for the founding of Sunday
school in Nebraska. Frank Roe Batchel-
der read a children's story. composed for
the occasion. Bibles were presented to
the young people taken into the church
during the year.
The object Of this observance Is to bring
the little ones into closer touch with the
church.
At the Methodist churches. special serv-
ices in the interest of .Methodism were
conducted. with view TO setting forth
the advantages and characteristics of
that faith.
The program was arranged by the board
of education of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, to be used all over the country
and consisted of songs. hymns and reia-
ttions bearing upon the earliest history
of the church. A collection was taken up
for the board of education. which has for
Its object the assisting Of poor students.

President Mckinley will do a wise and
acceptable thing in carrying out MS IN
tention to give number of second lieu
tenaucies in the Regular Army to honor
graduates from the various State military
colleges. The possibility of such re-
wards cannot fail to have salutary ef-
feet in promoting the interests of general
military education throughout the coun-
try, and will make friends for national
policy in that direction which is rapidly

believed in Washington last night that
a dispatch had been received from Am

Manila. This morning The Times and
other papers published the story. Judge
Day later declared that no such message
had been received from London or any
other point. Notwithstanding this official
discrediting, we are inclined to believe
that there may be some foundation for
the report. Rumors of the sort have been
current and persistent for day or two,
and may be based on news which has
leaked out from Government sources in
