The'Porio Rico CamQaiqn.

The plan of landing from 10000
10 $4,000 men at three different
points on the north, south, and east
coastsof Porto Rico, and converging
themall upon San Juan, gives pro-
mise Of a reasonably rapid as wellas
decisive conquest of the island says
the y. y. Sun. Two of the points
indicated are so far distant from the
capital that, even with a moderate
naval force, successful landings can
becounted on. Guanica, where Gen.
Miles is expected to debark the first
section Of his army, less than five
thousand strong, is about fifteen
miles west Of Ponce, on the south
side Of the island, and from Ponce a
good road leads across the island
northeasterly about fifty miles to
San Juan. The Spanish, according
are not likely TO risk a great part Of
their army to oppose the landing at
Guanica. Fajardo is about forty
miles e,-t o.' san Juan, andth land
ing there can also be opposed only
by part of theenemy's force, while
the while the third point spoken OF
AZ possible il nearer the capital.
Porto Rico is an irregular parallel
ogram, with a length ofabout 11C
miles and a breadth about one-third
a. great. H. area is $3.50 square
miles, or not half New Jerseys.

Spains Fatal Stubborness.

Every week OF futile and stubborn
resistance that adds to the great
volume of expense incurred by the
United States in the prosecution Of
the war must change somewhat the
conditions upon which the United
States can afford to make peace.
Already the experiencesand circum-
stances of the war haveinvolved the
whole of Spain's colonial empire.
Without navy and without the
means of creating one, Spain has be-
come totally incapable of maintain
ing distant possessions in any res
pensible manner. Even if the Un-
tied States should make peace at
this stage aud leave the Philippines
and Porto Rico nominallyiu Spain's
hands, the Philippine insurgents
would have to be reckoned with,
and they could notbe easilyconquer
ed. Moreover, it would not be
easy for Spain even to maintain her.
selfagainst the insurrectionary mood
of the Porto Ricans. Viewed
from every standpoint, Spain has
made necessary the total relinquish-
ment of her colonial pretensions.
Unfortunately, there did not seem
to be a single man in Spain, even
after the conclusion of the Santiago
campaign, who was able to entertain
this idea. The Sagasta government
went so far as to announce that it
could only consider peace negotiations
on the basis ofthe retention by Spain
ofall her former possessions except
ing Cuba alone, and that the Cuban
question would have to be decided
by a popular vote in Cubs as be-
tween the alternatives of independ-
ence andautonomy under the Spanish
hag.-From "The Progress of the
World" in the american Monthly
Rcrier Of Reviews for August.

1t is obvious, therefore, that, with
reasonably good roads aud weather
the overruning Of the island will not
be difficult task. The force
which can be assembled for the de-
fence of SanJuan is iarcclc Il maiiry
of surniise, but it is tl.s h, that
s.",. Miles will ",tnun..~r il, and

viii p Ia, .yc,.,cr tl.an Gen. Shaffer's
atSantiago, we need have no fear
that there will be among them any
lack ofsoldierly qualities whether Of
endurance on the march or courage
and skill in combat. A new point
of interest for this expedition is the
overland route, carrying the CAM
paign deep into the interior as along
the coast.
That the Government is wise in
using a large force for the Porto
Rico campaign is obvious, not only
because it has over 100000 men
who have not thus far directly faced
the enemy, and are to do so, but
because an overwhelming force will
make the campaign short and less
costly to us. 1t will be remember
ed that Gen. Shatter had to call for
reinforcementsatter reaching Santia-
60, and there was an anxious delay
until he got them. But in Porto
Rico we have not merely a single
town to occupy, but whole island
Gen. Miles will not have too many
troops with him for suggesting
to all parts of theisland the
irresistible power Of the United
States.

entirely new light on the mystery O
Napoleon's autobiography. Appar.
emily there have been restingin Am.
erica all these years links which
would have connected the entire
chain; but no one thought of cross
ing the Atlantic for them.
Never has test Of document borne
more indisputable proof Of anthem
ITCHY upon its face than the memoirs
of Napoleon now appearing in The
Cosmopolitan. They carry the stamp
of mind so large that no person Of
the period was great enough to be
seriously suspected ofhaving written
them, although Madame de .Stael
and others Of the brightest wits of
the day werein turn accused until,
when style and fitness were taken
into consideration, the absurdity Of
the charge became evident.
1t is a curious fact that never have
so many interests combined to throw
discredit upon any literary work.
When they surreptitiously appeared
in Paris in 1872, the publisher was
was thrown into prison and the issue
suppressed and destroyed. The in
dependent printing press was then a
feeble institution and the monarchy
was all-pervading in its influence.
They not only suppressed the me-
moirs but found members of Napo-
Icons staff to discredit them and even
2 literary hack to confess to author
ship. Yet here to. day comes testi-
monv which seems to- clear up the
whole situation. To quote the docu-
ment given in the August Cosmopo-
Hua:
My father was Joseph Archam-
baul,. He was born in Fontaine-
blcau $50, and became member
of Napoleon's suite when boy of
about ten. He went with Napo-
leon TO st. Helena in lSl5and when
the opportunity offered was dis
patched to America with the manu-
script of Napoleon's defense of his
life and policy. l frequently heard
him speak Of the manuscript and IF
his delivery of it to Joseph Bona
parte at Bordentown. He said that
in order todeceive British authorities
he had used it as wrapping paper
around things in his trunk. / also
recollect that my father showed me
a book which he said had been
printed from his manuscript.
Signed: Napoleon Bonaparte Arc
hambault. Witness: Priscilla Ring
Archambault.
But that is not all the search
which was instituted by The Cosmo-
politan has resulted in finding the
most positive testimony, dating back
to 1890 contracting the statements
of Gen'l Gourgaud, upon whom was
the main reliance for the discredit-
ing of the memoirs. The entire &C!
count OF the many months research
made by the Editor forms an inter-
esting story in itself. The facts
bearing on both sides are stated in Il
way to allow the reader to Judge for
himself. From every sidehas come
the expression of belief that no one
but Napoleon could have so deeply
comprehended the situation Of 1900
