All naval officers and men who
have distinguished themselves during
the war with Spain will be rewarded
by the government in some manner
appropriate to their individual ex-
ploits. The president is determined
that not one deserving man, from
commanding officer down, shall be
neglected in the distribution of hon
ors. This is eminently proper, and
the navy will be all the better for
every such act of consideration.
England has built up her navy by
making those who follow it proud of
their profession and by establishing
the practice of comforting honors up
on her heroes without regard to rank,
station or employment. One of the
decorations to which all fighting Eng.
Iishmen aspire Is the Victoria cross.
Those who wear it have in some way
distinguished themselves by heroism
that stands out in bold relief before
the nation. Were Hobson British
officer the Victoria cross would fall
to him without a question. In this
country special medals are voted by
congress in recognition of such acts
of bravery as Hobson and his com
panions have to their credit.

CLEANING CUBA.

"The ground fairly smells souri,
This is the report of the sick and
emaciated soldiers of this republic
who return invalided from Cuba.
Centuries of filth have polluted the
very soil of the unfortunate island.
All that in civilized countries is
buried deep In earth, or that is car
ried away by swift streams that oxy-
genate and purify its noisomeness, or
that is burned to prevent its danger
GUS infection, is, and by generations
of unclean people has been, poured
on the surface of the earth of the
cities and towns of Cuba, which at
length are saturated by poisonous
germs. It is impossible to give in
slant and absolute control of Cuba to
a people who have not learned that
ablution is word illustrative of the
first letter in the alphabet of civlliza-
tion. A temporary protectorate is a
necessary preliminary to the evolu-
tion of Cuba into a domain in which
decent folks can live. We have
fought that Cuba may be a member
of the s;sterhood of civilized states
we cannot turn it over at once from
Spanish filth and despotism to cpl
demic and disorder.
In the oldest book that relates the
progress Of race from slavery and
degradation to freedom and eminence
we are taught that Moses enforced
cleanliness upon the Jews as the first
law of being. The higher civil1za
tion of the tabernacle and the temple
followed in due course, and almost
naturally, upon the strict hygienic
regulations that the great law-giver
enforced upon his people while they
journeyed and dwelt in tents in the
wilderness. A ballot is a good thing
in the hands of clean man; not so
in the hands of dirty child or an
unclean nomad. Cuba must be made
clean and healthful first, free and
independent afterward. We have an
educational work to do preliminary
to our noble work of establishing To-
cal government.
We are not fighting in Cuba solely
for Cubans. We expect that the out.
come of the war shall give to the
capital and enterprise of the United
States free room ''to run and be
gloriied." We must make Cuba at
least as healthful as Louisana before
we relinquish our authority over the
territory from which we have driven
Spain, The Cubans must be educated
in the rudiments of civilization, near
to the first of which is personal,
household, and municipal cleanliness.

SUGGESTIVE Best Evidence.

To attain success in this life you must
apply all your talents to the accomplish
ment of single aim. "Jacks" of all
trades seldom succeed at anything,
while man of moderate ability who

pose is bound to succeed. Our aim is to
excel all others in turning out fine laun-
dry work, and we have been told by
many that we have succeeded. Our
patrons are increasing daily and we re-
gard this as the best evidence of our

NOTHING BUT RUMOR.
No OVertures for Peace Have Been
Made by Spain NotWith-

London, July 9.-Although peace ru-
mors are numerous and there is a gen
eral feeling that Spain may at any mo-
ment sue for peace, nothing definite on
the subject is known in competent quar-
tiers.
Both the officials of the United States
embassy and the British foreign office
say the situation is the same as yesterday
and at the foreign office it is declared that
there is absolutely no truth in the story
printed this morning by New York pa
per to the effect that Spain has made
informal overtures for peace with the
United States through Sir Henry Drum
mondW Wolff, the British ambassador at
Madrid, and they ridicule the alleged con-
cessions attributed to Spain in the story
referred to.
Madrid, July 8, 10 a. m.-According to
the newspapers here, the Spanish minis
ter for foreign affairs, Duke Almovovar
de Rio, has declared that no European
power is disposed to intervene in behalf
of peace unless the belligerents make a
request to that effect

WANT TIME TO THINK.
Little Doubt in the Minds of Army
Officers that Spain will
Surrender.

In Front OF Santiago, July 5, y q. m.
(by the Associated Press Dispatch Boat
Cynthia II, via Port Antonio, July 9, s
a. m., by way of Kingston, Jamaica,
8, 8 a. r1.)-There has been absolutely no
change in the situation at Santiago de
Cuba during the past twenty-four hours.
The Spanish authorities are taking time
to consider the proposition to surrender
and no answer will be made before noon
tomorrow.
Communicate with Madrid.
Gable operators at the request of the
Spanish officials have been allowed to
enter Santiago, and the matter of the
surrender of that city is now being con-
sidered with Madrid direct.
The general feeling among the Ameri-
can officers is that the surrender will be
made, not necessarily tomorrow (Satur-
day., but they believe that date will be
the beginning of the final negotiations.
The Spanish authorities request that
hereafter all communications to them be
made in Spanish, as 1.-The officers who did
the .translating for US are no longer with
u.s."
Orders have been issued that each regi-
ment in the American lines hoist flag on
the trenches in front of the position it &C.
cupies. This gives the Spaniards an ex-
cellent idea of the extent and location of
our INES, but 1t also makes very lmp0S-
ing appearance. This morning nearly a
score of standards were fiuttering at differ
ent points along the works, which are now
n2arly four miles long, and enclosing the
city on two sides.
To Root Out the GuerriI1as.
1t had been proposed that a battalion
of sharpshooters be formed from each
regimental battalion in the army, to be
commanded by officers of practical pro-
fcieEcy as marksman and hunters. It
is said that this battalion would be able
to clear the region near the army of the
nestiferous guerrillas, who, from tree
tops or other covers make many at
tempts, some of them successful, to as
sasSinate wounded men as they are be-
ing carried to the rear. During the
truce which has now lasted four days.
there has been none of this murder bust
Aess going on and the American officers
therefore conclude that the guerrillas
have been engaged in this misera Bile
work, under the direct orders or control
of the Spanish leaders. Several commits
sions from Spanish authorities TO act as
guerrilla leaders have been picked up on
the battlefelds Of San Juan and Ell
Caney.
The story published by a New York
paper to the effect that the Spanish pris-
Oners have been turned over to the Gu
bans, who killed them, is without the
slightest foundation in fact. No prison
ers have been turned over to the Cubans
at any time
