Scovel has fallen a victim to his own yell

and his business seriously. He looked upon
himself as one of the authors of the war

THE EXPEDITION no sPA1N.
Its Wisdom May Well He Left for Mill
itary Experts to Decide.
The Outlook

We regret very seriously the supposed ne
cessity for sending an American fleet to
threaten the Spanish coast; but we are in
clined to believe that it is a political as
we'll as a military necessity. 1t is generally
idle to discuss what might have been. If
the counsels of the holder spirits among the
advisers of the President had been followed.
and within week after the declaration of
war Havana had been bombarded and
landing effected near the city, 1T may be
that the Spanish resistance would have
proved as unsubstantial as 1t proved at
Manila and Baiquiri; 1t may be that the fall
of Havana would have opened the eyes of
the Spanish people to the conditions of the
campaign, and so brought it to an end.
But the more cautious course was pursued,
and so long as the Spanish flag floats over
Havana it is possible that the Spanish
dream of successful resistance to Americas
demands will not be broken, except by the
appearance of an American squadron on
the Spanish coast and the threatened bonn
bardment of a Spanish city. This would
probably convince the Spanish people as
nothing else can that the American fleet
has not been sunk by Spanish guns and is
not kept busy defending American cities
from the fleets of Cervera and. Camara.
Whether threatening the Spanish coast is
the best military expedient for defending
Dewey at Manila, or even Hawaii or San
Francisco from a possible threat of attack
by Camara, is military question which the
Outlook must leave to be determined by
military experts. But we are inclined to
think that the proposed expedition to Spain
is political necessity; that it is now the
best and perhaps the only way of bringing
the Spanish campaign of lies to an end.
The guns of an American squadron in the
harbor of CadiZ will constitute an appeal
from the Spanish politicians to the Spanish,
people, and it will be one which they can
not fail to hear and perhaps heed.

Cubans n bad Lot.
New York Evening Post.

Some of the war correspondents in Cuba
have written to the newspapers that there
is growing belief in the army that when
we shall have driven out the Spanish
troops we shall have on our hands a war
with the insurgents. Such an event would
rot be at all surprising. The object of our
invasion of Cuba was to restore peace to
the island on the basis of law and order.
This is not the conception of the
insurgents generally. There are a few
men of intelligence. character and
responsibility among them, but the
great mass are a disorderly collection
of bushwhackers. They have lived so long
by plumber and blackmail that the re-
straints of civilized life and Of military dis,
cipline are alike intolerable to them War
without loot they do not understand. They
have been of little service to our army in
Cuba, except as scouts, and even in this line
they are not fully trusted The report
which came yesterday, thai they would not
even work to help care FOR our wounded
when our own surgeons and Red Cross men
and women were toiling in the blaze of
tropical sun to alleviate the sufferings of
the Spanish as well as of the American sol
diers, is almost incredible. If true it puts
them on a lower plane than any Spanish
foes we have met on either land or water
1t would be the very irony of fate If, after
going to war in behalf of these insurgents,
we should be compelled to fight them in
order to restore peace to Cuba.

A Cable to Hawaii.
York letter in Philadelphia Record.

New York letter m PhiIadeIphia Record.
There seems little reason to doubt that au-
thority for cable to Hawaii will be given
at the next session of Congress, but
whether it will be given to one OF the two
New York companies which have been com
peting for it remains to be determined.
Possibly-and that would seem wiser pro-
vision-the government will lay cable.
The delay in making this connection has
been due in part to competition between the
companies seeking the franchise, and partly
to the insistence by Congress that the con-
tractor for the work should continue the
cable to Japan and China. There is no rea-
sonable doubt of the profitableness of
cable to Hawaii. but a cable TO China would
not pay interest on the investment for many
years. and the bidders for the Hawaiian
privilege have always tried TO wriggie out Of
