cablegram from Santiago de Cuba as

effort to insert plank reaffirming the
Chicago platform was defeated, the

ALI additions to our national domain,
with the single exception of Alaska, have
been made under Democratic administra-
tions and as Democratic policy, but it has
never entered the Democratic mind to
reach ont 5000 and 5000 miles for islands
populated by Asiatics, who can never be
Americanized. Democratic acquisitions
have been on the American continent, and
of such territory only as was necessary to a
complete nation there. No such claim
can be made for the new POLICY of imper-
alism" which the present administ ration
sesms about to enter upon. and which
already promises to become new dividing
line between the parties
One of the first Democrats 10 pronounce
against such policy was VIM. j. Bryan
10 a speech on Nebraska Day at the
Omaha exposition, and ex-President Cieve-
land, in his address at the Lawrenceville
School Commencement last week, sounded
a warning note against schemes of imper-
ialism. He said =
Do not fail to gain by study and reflec-
ton just apprehension of the purposes
and objects for which our government was
established, to the end that you may detect
any proposed departure from suca purposes
and objects, and be able to form an opinion
as to its justification or disability. You
will probably be led by your study and
reflection to the conclusion that our gov
eminent was formed for the express pur-
pose of creating in a new world, new
nation, the foundation of which should be
mans self government. whose safety and
prosperity should be secure in its absolute
freedom from old world complications, and
in its remuneration of all schemes OF foreign
conquest, and whose mission should be
subjected to civilization and industrial
occupation of the vast domain on which it
has taken root If you believe these
things do not permit any accusation of
ultra and unprogressive conservation to
trouble you. If the suggestion is made
that the time has come for our nation to
abandon its old landmarks, and to follow
the lights of monarchial hazards, and
that we should attempt to force the simple
machinery of our popular and domestic
government to serve the schemes of impe-
rialism your challenge of the proposition is
entirely in order"

Currency legislation will 60 over to the
next Congress, the Republican Representa-
tiYes who want to be reelected next Fall
not having the courage of their profused
convictions. George Fred Williams. the
leader of the Massachusetts Democracy,
says with reference to the scheme pro-
posed in the Republican bill:
1.-THE economic tendency of the day,
whether natural or induced, is certainly
toward the Capitalization of management
and the minimizing of the individuals
power The department store has driven
the retail dealer to the wall; the trust has
assumed control of our staple trades; the
monopolized railroads regulate transporta-
tioE. Our whole industrial system is
rapidly attaining a mOnopolistic character.
There is every reason to helieve that this
tendency will ultimately possess our bank
ing system; already it is Fastening, while
the banks have only the instrument of
credit with which to assert their power
Through the control of credit the business
community feels its helplessness under the
sway of the banks, but if now our none
tary system is to be turned over to a
banking trust, can there be doubt that the
small banks will become helpless servants
OF the powerful governors in this system
With money and credits in their hands.the
business of the country will be at their
mercy. Who can control it? Not the
Government, for it has already abandoned
Its functions to them. Not the merchants
for they are the dependents of the money
loaners. If the small banks rebel they
will be crushed. The amount of money,
rates of interest and discount, privilege of
credit, all will be under banking control
1t is but another trust greater than all
other trusts, trust of trusts which exists
now in comparatively feeble form, because
it has not yet brought the Government
fully under its control. 1t has owned
Presidents and Secretaries, but Congress
has not yet quite succumbed. To control
directly the entire monetary system of the
greatest nation in the world requires but
the execution of the present plan; it offers
to our financial rulers one-third of the
worlds banking power as the greatest stake
for what that power has been played.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 30.-A dis
patch from the feet off Santiago brings
the following advices:
The flying squadron, hitherto COM
manded by Commodore Schley, has
lost its identity by an order issued by
Rear Admiral Sampson. and 1t has
been merged into the feet under the
admiral The order caused consider
able surprise on board the Brooklyn,
Which has been the flagship of the
flying squadron, where 1t was supposed
the squadron would remain intact at
least until the fall of Santiago de Cuba.
Commodore Schley has been assigned
to command the second squadron at
tached to Admiral SIMPSONS fleet.
From two Cubans who were picked
up by the Vixen it has been learned
that General Pando is moving east
ward from Manzanillo with $500 Span
ish troops for the purpose of assist
ing the beleagured city of Santiago
de Cuba. The Cubans had come to
Aserraderos, in small boats, with dis
patches from General Rios for Admiral
Sampson and General Rabi They re-
port that General Pando has with him
seven battalions Numbering 8,700
mem, with cattle, and pack train
with provisions. He left Manzanillo,
province of Santiago de Cuba, on June
%, to reliev General Linares. The
Spaniards were moving at the rate of
IL miles day when the messengers
left, and at their present speed it is
expected they will reach Santiago de
Cuba next Sunday, July 8. The Gu
bans have a small force hanging on
the Spanish flank and rear and har-
RAISING General Pando's troops at
every step.
Manzanillo is 127 miles west of San
tiago de Cuba, and the roads are in
bad condition The Cubans say that
if General Pando reaches his goal it
will be with less than half the force
he started with. The Cubans who
are harrassing him only number about
200 men, but in the passes and in the
bush they are at great advantage.
1t is probable that immediate steps
will be taken to throw a force of
Americans and Cubans between Cen
eral Pando and General Linares.
Pressed as the latter is on the east,
he could not spare a man for sortie
to the west.
Admiral Sampson has ascertained
that Admiral Cervera's fleet has moved
into the upper harbor of Santiago de
Cuba. General Shafter, in his dis
patches to the secretary of war, COM
plimented the fleet for its assistance
in landing the troops.
With the soldiers landed from the
Yale Monday and General Garcia's
army transported from the westward,
q, 1000 men in all have been disembark-
ed in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba.
