GOOD POLICY.


President McKinley's proclamation
upon the establishment of the power
of the United States in the province of
Santiago de Cuba is a most interest
ing document and shows the states
man-like mind of the head executive.
1t lays down as a maxim that the
United States does not come TO Cuba
to wage war upon any party or fac
ton of the inhabitants, but "to pro-
tect them i'm their homes. in their en-
pigments and in their personal and
religious rights" Therefore, the doc
ument goes on to state, the municipal
laws of the conquered territory are TO
merly, as far as compatible with the
new order of things. If the judges and
other officials connected with Justice
accepted the supremacy of the Unit
ed States they were to be retained,
and the same rule was to be observed
with regard to the local constabulary.
This is a most enlightened way of
dealing with a difficult problem at
the outset. If the population of San
tiago de Cuba are wise they will glad
/ ly accept the position as outlined by
President Mckinley. If they are not
wise, military necessity will cause
/ the commander in charge of the pro-
vince to act in very different man
ner.
The wisdom of the Presidents
premises lies in this; that it is better
for a race, alien in its habits and its
methods of thought from the con-
quering power to have the administra-
ton of its judicial methods carried on
! by men who understand its ways and
its laws. Nothing will tend to set
Ting the conquered district more
with it. With private property pro-
/ tected with the knowledge that their
religion will not be interfered with
and that the United States pays for
/ what ii needs, and makes no eXactions
on the citizens, with little or no dis
turbance in legal matters, the rule of
the United States will very soon be-
come acceptable to a people who do
not understand republican methods.
! When, added to this, Games the change
in trade methods, and the Spanish dis
criminative and veXatious tariff is re-
moved, even the Spanish population
will soon wake up to the fact that
conquest is blessing in disguise

ON EXPULSION.

The Call is out asking that all the
contract labor on the Islands be eX-
PEELED. OF course the object of the
Call is very plain. 1t made long
and bitter fight against annexation
and now having lost that fight, it
wants to do as much injury to the Is
land as it can. With annexation the
contract labor system ceases, but why
Chinese or Japanese who are here
should be deported, as the Call de-
mands, is not very clear.
The Call further wants the prohibl-
ton of "black bird" labor. In this
the writer shows that he knows very
little about the Islands. We have no
"black bird" labor. Some twenty
years ago a few South Sea Islanders
were introduced as laborers, but they
were not satisfactory and most of
them were returned to their homes
long ago. \ few elected to remain
on the Islands, and there is a little
colony of them at Lahaina, on the Is
land of Maui, where they support
themselves, chiefly by fishing. Accord
ing to the last census upon the whole
group there were but 455 of this class
of people, men, women and children,
and there cannot be so many now So
the 'black bird" immigration which
is so strenuously demanded to cease,
does not exist and has not existed for
years, and what does not exist can
not very well be prohibited.
AS a matter of fact the commission
ers will go into all such matters in
detail and we may feel thoroughly
satisfied that their work will be well
done. 1t is no light task that they
have before them, and the hardest
portion of their work will be the
proper regulation of the labor laws,
which will have to be made to assim-
ilate with those of the United States.
But no commission is going to order
the deportation of any people who are
already here. If such were the case
a beginning might be made in San
Francisco and Chinatown might be
deported to Shanghai
The laborers we have here are not
going to trouble California. The Is
lands have too good climate and the
methods of life are far too congenial
to the Chinese or the Japanese resi-
dent in Hawaii to desire the keen
winds and the fogs of San Francisco.
The arguments advanced are I'M
sound and it is very plain that the de-
mands of the Cali are of such a char
acter that they cannot be granted
They are in fact not based on any
desire to benefit any one, but are made
in a spirit of factious opposition
which is utterly un-American. When
a cause is lost, it is lost for good and
all, and the inevitable had better be
accepted. The anti-anneXationists
got thoroughly beaten and they
should now give up the fight.

REPUTATION.

The position of the government of
these Islands at the present moment
is not satisfactory one, and its mem
bers are doing things which win not
rebound to their credit when they
step down and out, as they shortly
will do. There is no doubt that dis
tinct promise was given to members
of the Legislature that not another
foot of land should be alienated along
the beach property at the Park. The
promise was distinct and clear cut
and it's effect was to prevent legisla-
tive action upon the point There
was a party pledged to carry Senator
McCandless' bill through the House,
and the Senator was himself strong
enough to carry it through the Sen
ate. In face of all this the Cabinet
quietly throws its word to the winds
and hands over lots to Messrs. Garten-
berg and Won Holt.
If a mistake has been made by an
employe of this government it was
their duty to have paid for that
mistake. The man in question has
caused them trouble enough, but if
they will hold on to him. why they
must pay. But the matter might
have been settled by a cash payment,
and the land of the people need not
have been nliennted

What is the truth of the Dreyfus
incident? Not only the truth as to
his guilt or not, but the truth with
regard to his treatment in his place
of detention. a while ago the papers
ing confined in an iron cage; now a
Dutch sailor, who claims TO have been
on Devils Island, says that Dreyfus
land, and that the cage lis a myth. The
sailors story. however, abears evidence
of being mythical. But Dreyfus is
rapidly becoming as legendary as the
Man of the Iron Mask or the Author
of Junius' Letters.

1t will be curious indeed if Commo-
dore Watson should make the Balea
ric Islands a base for attacking Spain.
Those Islands have been almost every
body's meat for centuries. The Pho
enicians had them, the Greeks, the
Carthaginians. the Romans, the Arabs
the Normans, the Spanards, the
French, the British, each of the latter
for short time. and returning them
TO Spain, and now a navy from across
the Atlantic proposes to take turn.
a very interesting account of them
has recently been published by a
French traveller, under the title of
"The Forgotten Isles" into which ev-
cry one will be digging, now tnat
they are being brought into promi-
nence by war.

MADRID, April 2.-The display of
patriotic fervor at the ROYAL opera

whole assembiGge, numbering 5000
persons. was profoundly impressive.
The queen regent, who was accomDan-
led by the Princess of Asturias and
the Irfanta Isabella, was the object Of
repeated ovations. Most Of the
younger women, especially those be-
longing 10 the higher ranks Of the
aristocracy, wore ribbons OF the ma
tiCnal co.0rs ii their hair. When
the orchestra played the national
hymn, a wave of enthusiasm passed
over the entire assem6iage. The
queen. the prime minister and every
one in fact. rose spontaneously ana
gave vent 10 great shouts Of Viva
Espana." followed by shouts OF
Long live the due6n." On the stage
the chorus was composed of the lead
ing singers Of Spain, with whom were
grouped the principal artists of the
country. while the orchestra vas re-
inforced by military bands in uniform.
II the midst Of the excitement two
regiments Of infantry marched in
single file acrCss the stage. and so
appeared to be an endless body of men
w~hereupon the national anthem was
sur again and the audience clam
cred fer the national banner. Then
some one on the stage took down
d flag from the wings of the stage
and it was hoisted on high by q
zr0uD Of actors, who bore it to the
middle Of the stage where the flag
was waved aloft. This direct appeal

forth a tremendous demonstration.

SPAIN HOLDS ON TO CUBA.
Synopsis OF the Reply to This Gov.
e%rn1nent'S Uifimafum.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE fol-
lowing is an abstract from General
Woodford on the evening of March
81, on the general situation in Cuba:
He informs the government of the
United States that General Blanco has
revoked the decree relating to the re-
concentrates in the western prov
inces of Cuba, which are understood
to be the provinces of MatanZas. San
ia Clara, Habana and Pinar del Rio;
that the Spanish government has
placed at the disposal of the COVER
nor general the credit Of 5000, 900 pes
etas ($600, 0G0) to the end that the
country people may return at once
and with success to their labors.
The Spanish government will accept
whatever assistance to feed and sue
o the necessitous which may be sent
from the United States in accordance
with the plan now in operation.
1t proposes to confide the prepara-
ton for an honorable and stable peace
to the insular parliament, without
whose concurrence the Spanish gov
eminent would not be able to arrive
at the final result, it being understood
that the powers reserved by the con-
stitution to the central government
are not lessened or diminished.
AS the Cuban Cortes will not meet
until the 4th day of May, the Spanish
government will not, on lis part, OBJ
ject to a suspension Of hostilities, if
asked for by the insurgents, from the
general in chief, with whom it will be
able to determine the duration and
condition of the suspension.
The president will communicate to
congress, as soon as he can prepare
a message, the foregoing, including
the last paragraph, which was made
public Immediately after the cabinet
meeting.
In connection with the official state
ment made public yesterday afternoon
ii can be stated on authority that the
case as now made up by the nnoOtia-
tons between Spain and the United
States will constitute the case as it
will be submitted to congress in the
presidents message. There is no
present intention Of pursuing further
negotiations which will change the
status of the Cuban question as now
presented in the correspondence be-
tween Spain and the United States.

days has led him and his staff to con.
slider what disposition Of their effects
would be made in case their position
here became ~untenable.
From the Spanish standpoint there
is the same disposition as that shown
by the authorities here in regarding
the issue made up. The answer OF
Spain is looked upon as the limit Spain
will grant. If there is TO be anothe!
proposition the Spaniards look TO the
United States for it. This at least
the situation at present.
OF course it can not be foretold what
Madrid will do in the stress of circum-
stances within the next two days. But
those best able to judge do not expect
any further move from Madrid, as they
say Spain has reached the limit OF its
concessions.
The Spanish minister has naturally
been a center in the exciting iuci-
dents of TODAY. He is fully conscious
of the gravity of the situation. End
while still expressing hopes for peace,
speaks to his friends Of the eventual
tiles which may come. To one of
them he said today that he could rot
believe that two nations made IN OF
calm and sensible people would rush
into the untold horrors of war. He
added that it would be a wicked and
cruel crime for this result to be pre-
ciDitated.
