THE private secretary of Premier sa-
gasta having announced that Spain will
not listen to peace propositions emanat-
ing from the United States, it is fair to
assume that Spain is not yet ready TO
suggest peace to us, directly. 1t, there
fore, only remains to be said that inter-
national meditation will not have our ear
until Porto Rico shall have been taken
and Havana shall have been capitulated.
Nor is it likely that any power or pow
ers will seek to pursuade us in advance
of those events.

A UNIQUE feature of the reward of the
eight heroes of the Merrimac is the in
clusion, on equal terms, of Rudolph
Clausen, whose name appears with those
of the two other coxswains in the crew,
opposite an increase in pay OF $40 a
month. Clausen, it will be renem,
bered, deliberately disobeyed orders by
remaining aboard the Merrimac, after
his application to become one Of the
party had been refused. He was guilty
of insubordination, and technically his
act was subversive Of discipline in our
navy at time and under circumstances
in which the maintenance of rigid disci.
pline was Of the utmost importance. 1t
would be absurd to punish him for dis
obedience after having rewarded him fol
the fruits of disobedience. 1t may there
fore be assumed that his violation o
discipline will pass unnoticed. In ex
ceptional cases exceptional treatment
treatment is justified; and whatever
may be the Judgment Of the hyper
critical and the hairsplitter, popu
lar opinion would unquestionably rescue
with warmth any discrimination agains
him in parcelling out the rewards de
cided upon for the Merrimac's noble
eight Posterity will forget the lapse O
Clausen in the glorious impulse which
inspired him, and the laurel upon hi
brow will be not less green than tina
which is worn by his fellows.

HAPPILY for both the British Govern
ment md the United States, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the distinguished Amhassa-
dor of Great Britain at Washington, is
likely to remain at his present post for an
other year at least. Sir Julian's term OF
service expires by limitation in Septem-
Der next. and it was intimated not long
ago that he would then be recalled and
elevated to the pecrage in recognition OF
his long and brilliant career in diplo-
matte affairs. 1t appea :, however, that
the Federal Government has earnestly
requested that he be kept at his post Tor
while longer in order that certain I'M
portant negotiations now in progress be-
tween the two powers may receive the
benefit of his invaluable cooperation
and counsel To this request the Brit
ish Government has responded promptly
and favorab!y, and the result is that Sir
Julian will, for perhaps year to come,
continue at the head of the Embassy at
Washington, an Office whose manifold
duties he has discharged with faultess
judgment, admirable tact and extra
ordinary usefulness to both nations.
This Government is a deserved recog-
milton of the charming qualities OF the
British Ambassador, and it will be
gratifying in equal degree to the Ameri.
can people who know his splendid
worth.

Big Entertainment for Beneht OF
Volunteer Soldiers and Families

will be Held Next Thursday.
The war concert to be given in the
Opera House on Monday evening has
been postponed until Thursday evening,
June 23rd.
The postponement was thought ad-
yisable by the committee, inasmuch as
Gilmore's Band at Shellpot Park on
Monday evening would be sufficient at
traction to keep a great many people
away from the concert and also allow ior
more time to prepare the program ior
Thursday evening. - -,
The concert is for the benefit OF the
Delaware soldiers now at Camp Tunnel.
1t might be well to state that the proceeds
will be used as an emergency fund, to
supply the soldiers families in their ab-
sence and look after the interest OF voiun-
teers in general.
There will be a chorus of sixty voices,
under the direction of Professor 1. Leslie
CARPENTER, assisted by Grace Orchestra
and a number of outside musicians,
directed by Professor +. A. Brill, OF
Philadelphia. .,,
A special feature OF the concert will be
the tenor solo, "Tenting on the Old
Camp Ground" by H. Howard Carver,
and the violin solo by +. A. Brill. 1.-THE
Bugler," a baritone solo by Horace B.
Harrison, promises to be OF first class
order.
The chorus will sing the following pa
triotic songs: "America,' COLUMBIA
the Gem Of the Ocean" "Star Spangleo
Banner and others.
An address by the Rev. DR.. McCook
OF Philadelphia, will follow the song o
the chorus of mighty Fortress is Thy

General John p. Donahue of this city
has been rendered the position of major
in the Fourth Alabama Volunteers.
The offer came through Adjutant
General Thomas S. Stewart of the Penn
sylvania troops, who was an old comrade
in arms in the late war with General
Donahue.
The intention of the Fourth Alabama
is to have, as far as possible, nothing but
veterans OF the civil war in command.

warm regard for General Donahue was
the reason OF the latter's being rendered
the position.
The general has the offer under cons-
deration and will probably accept in a
