If Cervera Is Hemmed in Then Troops
Will Move.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Cuoa will
not be invaded and there will be no en-
barkation of troops until the president
is satisfied that Ceryera's fleet is
bottled up at Santiago and cannot pos
sibly escape. This is the determination
reached by the president today.
The president is determined to not
take any chances of having the Ameri-
can fleet surprised while ombarding
any Cuban port, and that the army
shall not be taken at a disadvantage
while attempting to land on Cuban
soil. All that can be expected for a
few days is inactivity of the forces un-
less it is found to certainly where
Cervera is.

than probable that the negotiations be-.

Prisoners of Honor.
From the Army and Navy Register.

From the Army and Navy Register.
We observe with some amaZement that
the people of Annapolis are disposed to re-
gard the Spanish prisoners of war as guests
to them more than the civilities of the oc
casion and the ciroums tances; that they
are on the verge of that frenzy which
makes the desperate murderer hero and
gives to crime the reward of virtue.
We trust the reports from Annapolis are
exaggerated, and that for the sake of the
dignity and self-respect of their country
men and women the residents of Annapolis
will not overstep the bounds of civility
and make Admiral Cervera and his asso-
ciates the object of wanton charity and
maudin hospitality. We imagine an officer
of Ceryeras age, experience and percep-
tion will receive all such advances as quite
unpatriotic and misplaced 1t is quite as
generous in its way anything to the
other extreme, and those who spend their
lavish store in entertaining these officers
who led a hostile fleet and who are still
staunch subjects of a government at war
with our own-are forgetful of the time
and of current events. They are unmind-
full of the American officers educated at
Annapolis who are serving their country
and who have before them yet the dan
gers of war. The galantry and the brav-
cry of Cervera and his captains demand
admiration. perhaps, just as the brave of
all nations in all times gain the applause
of their enemies, but these prisoners of
war-lately bent on using their resources
ious yet, If they are the patriots they
should be. for the defeat of our forces, on
land and sea-are entitled to nothing more
than the courtesy due to rank, and the
government may be depended upon to see
that they are decently and civilly treated,

The United states Will Keep Faith.

The fortunes of the people of Cuba are
In safe hands. The President Is pre-emi-
nently a man of conscience and character
and entirely incapable of misdirecting the
purposes with respect to Cuba for which
the United States is at war with Spain.
He will neither break faith. nor permit 1T
to be broken. with the Cuban people. They
are certain to have an opportunity TO form
a government for the control of their coun-
try Meanwhile the United States will in
good faith and in good part act as their
trustee. driving the Spanish out, and estab-
fishing and maintaining order and secur-
ity until the Cuban people are prepared to
come into their own. The task is in every
way difficult, and all parties in interest
should contribute by patience and good
feeling to its accomplishment.
There is reason to believe that the ap-
pearance of General Garcia's men had more
to do than their conduct in shaping much
of the criticism about them that has come
from Santiago. They had been for three
years in the bush: were starved, and. when
not half naked. were ragged and unsightly.
The ate voraciously, as men are apt to do
after a long fast. The comparison was
with the soldiers of the United States. and
of course was cruelty against the Cubans.
On the one side were the soldiers of one of
the greatest of the nations well fed, well
equipped. and in the pink of a splendid con-
dltion, and on the other side the volunteers
of a people as yet without means or recog-
milton. struggling painfully toward free
dom and self-support
Then there were many blacks among
the Cubans- Particular mention was made
of this. Had the United States sufficiently
considered that it was to serve such peo-
pie that war with Spain was on? Could
they have seen them at home before war
was declared would their cause have been
championed? Had not fancifuI estimate
of the Cubans been employed to influence
public sentiment in the United States?
These same things were said to the Union
forces who went south during the civil
war. They were told that the aboitionists
had Imposed a false picture on the north;
that the blacks were not worthy of what
the north was trying to do for them. But
the argument did not prevail The blacks
were freed; and among the men wearing
the United States uniform at Santiago and
fighting bravely In the front rank were
the descendants of the old field hands of
the old south. And General Wheeler,
heroic leader Of the old south. and now a
- VI INC reunited country,
fought by their side.
a great Englishman once advised his
c0untrymen to free their minds of cant.
Let US take his advice with regard to the
Cubans. There are blacks in Cuba. but in
the day of the uplifting of that island the
color line should not run. All the Cubans
must benefit by what the United States
mas undertaken to do in the name and
cause OF humanity. The country which
Nenerates the name of Abraham Lincoln
would be basely employed in making dis
unetions against the blacks in Cuba when
the question primarily is that of succoring
the helpless and oppressed.

Minor Victories.

The taking of the harbor of Nipe, on the
north shore of Cuba. nearly opposite San
tiago. practically completes the American
possession Of the eastern end of the island,
while affOrding access to one of the finest
harbors in the Atlantic. Nipe bay is. in
deed. the largest of Cuban inlets, being
about fifteen miles long from the narrow
entrance to the head and six miles wide
at the narrowest point. Several small is
lands occur within and the place is an ideal
anchorage for a vast feet. Being on the
north shore 1t is more sheltered from the
tropical storms than are those on the
south. and the high lands to the south
west afford a convenient buffer from the
gales. The bay is peculiarly well located
for American purposes in view of the
pending enterprise against Porto Rico. for
1t lies directly on the way of transports
and cruisers from these shores to San Juan
and is thus rnuch more convenient for
American military purposes than Santiago

Frank Funk Not Captured, After All

II turns out that the man captured by the
mayor of Coliinsyille, ILL.,, is not Frank
Funk. wanted mere for the Brooks murder.
This is an unfortunate mistake, as it raised
the hopes of the police and citizens of
Washington and serves TO cast some doubt
upon the intelligence OF the average Ameri-
can mayor. The circular sent out in de-
scription of Funk is so complete in it's
minute notes OF personal marks that 1t
seems incredible that anybody could well
mistake his identity. II was this fact that
caused the mayors original telegram to
be accepted as reliable evidence that Funk
had been taken. But now the search must
be resumed and the congratulations
showered upon the detectives for their
good fortune are to be temporarily with
drawn.
