DEWEY'S FLEET WILL RE.
CEIVE PRIZE MONEY.

Washington, May 1S.-It will be
good news to the families and friends
Of the men on Rear Admiral Dewey's
fleet to know that they have not been
altogether debarred from naval prize
mOney, and that they are to have
something substantial than medal
and the praise of their countrymcn
for the destruction Of the Spanis fleet
at Manila on May 1.
Officials Of the Navy Department
have discovered that section 4,635 Of
the Revised Statutes authorizes the
payment CT II bounty of $500 for each
man on Ill enemy's ship Of war that
is destroyed in action. Reports from
Manila are that the Spanish fleet was
doubie-manncd in the expectation of
cOnQucring the American fleet nnd
requiring prize crews for the CAP
turcd vessels. In this case it is likely
there were at least 1000 men in the
Spanish fleet, which would mean an
aggregate premium of 100000 to he
divided among the American sailors.
Naval officers are taking steps to as
certain the exact number of Spaniar,is
on the IL vessels destroyed as basis
for the payment to be made.

Cuba, Porto Rico aud the Phillip

lands is held, will add something like
100000 to the population Of the
United States, aud over 10000 square
miles to its area. OF course Cubs

States territory. We have disclaimcd
all intention of anncxing that island.
and, for the time, that disclaimer will
be barrier 10 acquisition. After
the war is ended we will give the Gu

for themselves, aud while they ale de-
libcrating on this question an army

land to maintain order. Ii the Gu
bans, however, after pondering on the
matter of government, decide that
they want annexation, then annexa-
ton will take place. There is strong
probability that tho Cubans will do
this. Cuba is destined sooner or later
to become part of the United States.

OF Europe the history is full Of 20
many Anglo-Russian conflicts that il
is needless to speak. AS in common
sea the course and tendency of f-both
empires are merged. THUS sooner or
later war is inevitable.
Once such a war starts, what i'm
mense help the ports of the United
States will he to Russia! The SYM

States would be for Russia more than
welcome, and the possibility of even
Indirect assistance from the A merican

pending war with Spain, would be a
felicitous lind. We have not forgot
ten the great help given us by the
United States in 1878, the time of the
Berlin congress, when, in view Of the
probable military conflict, cruisers
were named by Russian sailors in the
ports Of the United States
Politicians assert that the United
States are now moved by selfish con-
siderations. In rising against Spanish
rule in Cuba it is said the Ameri-
cans are not imbued with the feeling
of humanity, nor yet by the principles
of liberty AMI equality, but by selfish
calculations tending toward the ab.
sorpttion of the island. This is an
old song. There is no power which,
in the matter Of defending others, il
not accused of seffishness.
Where is the ideal government
which excludes seifishness aud is
guided only by knightly honor? The
United States have the right to be
guided by their own interests. For
several decades at their very doors
exceptional things have happened
People discontinued ut the heavy
taxation which is squeezed out OF
them have been killed. Tens OF
thousands Of the representatives OF
the Rural districts, having raised no
banner Of insurrection, but peacefully
following their toilsOme vocation
are forcibly torn from their mother
earth and detained in the narrow
confines Of the city, where there is
very little bread, hut a great many
guns and soldiers. What are they to
do in those cities? The impartial re-
ports Of European COnsufs show that
in Cuba death from starvation is a
common occurrence, and that even
now, OH the eve of their liberation,
thousands die of such death.

How many Cuban insurgents are
actually in the field? Thomas Estrada
Palma, the Cuban revolutionis,s'
delegate to the United States. says
the insurgents have 10000 men un-
der arms in the three easterly prov
inces-Santiago, Pureto Principe and
Santa Clara. In the rest of the island
the provinces of Matanzas, Havana
and Pinar del Rio-thero are about
10 900 men with guns in their hands.
Gen. Garcia, who is in the eastern
part of the island, has, two 12-pounder
cannons and dynamite gun. Several
thousand others, he says, nominally
belong to the. insurgent forces, but
are waiting for arms and are culti-
vating crops for the sustenance of
their brethren. in. the field. This is

face Of human society has more than

A list Of the great statesmen who
were at the front in the early days of
Gladstonc's political life reads like a
roll-call Of eighteenth century worth

House of Commons for the first time
Earl Grey-the Grey Of the first re-

Waterloo. Melbourne, Victoria's first

enemies, had not begun. Lamartine,
Gnizot and Thiers OF France, Mazzini
and Cavour Of Italy, Gortschakoff of
Russia, and Calhoun, Clay aud Web

who is over twenty years younger

intimated, has finished his career
Salisbury does not belong to the same

Of Britain's dominant party, as man
who has been at the head Of her gov

SO immeasurably superior in ability

Gladstonc's service bridgcd gull
Of years broader than that spanned
by any other great statesman whom
the modern world has known. The
France of the revolutionary days of
a century ago established a new cal
endar to begin with the year of the
republic in 1892. All earlier dates
were to be counted backward and
later dates counted forward from
that year. The English Liberals of
twe-thirds of a century ago thought
that 1882 should have been made the
prime meridian in British political
chronology, for that year. when the
first Of the three great franchise bills
was passed, stands as the dividing
line between aristocracy aud de-
mocracy in the British governmental
system, between the ancient and the
modern age. Gladstone entered pub
lie life sixty-five years ago, before the
year l OF Great Britain's new politi-
cal dispensation closed. The begin
nirg of Victoria's reign, the longest
in British annals, and the longest in
the annals of any great nation except

RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATES
The Cars Personal Organ on the Relation
of the two Countries.

From the st. Petersburg Rirshevyle Weldon
osti, May lst.
There remains Russia. But our re.
lati. nship toward theNorth American
confii, has defined itself long before
! the conflict ever began. 1t was man'
ifested during the last century. when
the mutual gravitation between Rus
sia and the United States showed
itself in a very distinct form: when
they followed in Russia with the
greatest interest the North American
war of 1775 1888, and when the Dec
laration of Independence of the first
thirteen states received friendly
echo in the court Of Empress Gather
inc IL.
This tendency subsequently became
still more pronounced when the
Russian Government sold its colony
of Alaska to the UultcL States. lis
policy has been devoid of the slight
est trust Of unfrienlcness.
Knowing how deep the roots Of the
Monroe doctrine llavc struck in the
country of Franklin and Washington
the Russian Government has ever
been anxious to remove every cause
which might lead to the overthrow
of this doctrine and every possibility
Of any difference. 1t was well known
that the purchase price was less than
insignificant, because Alaska then ap-
pear as a center in which at some
future time the interests of Russia
and the United States might clash
with each other.
Alaska was not sold for the reason
that the Russian Government needed
the money.
Since then the friendly relations
between ourselves and the great
transatlantic republic have not ceased.
They have grown and become strong
er; and when not long ago there ap-
peard in Russia the horrible phantom
OF hunger, who was the first volun-
tary giver, answering the call of our
distress? The United States.
But there is still another point
showing the usefulness and expedi-
ency of the Russian. American friend
ship. Let us be candid. Sincere as
the assertions Of a few Russophiles
on the banks Of the Thames and
Anglophiles OH the banks of the Neva
may be, our relations with England
must inevitably come to bloody
war. The war may not come TO-
morrow, nor after u month, nor even
after a year, but 1t must come.
The historic march Of events tends
toward this war. The eternal entag-
onism of English aud Russian inter
ests proclaims it. Show us the nook
in which Russia could tender England
the hand of fellowship without hiding
| in the other hand behind it's back the
murderous dagger. There is no such
nook in existence.
Russia advances toward the Pamirs
| England does the same, Russia en-.
| deavors to extend her influence into
Afghanistan. England sets to work
