An ImpracttcnbIe solution.

Adopting a view advanced in one of
the London daiiies the ether day. the
New York Herald yesterday printed a
leading editorial in which it was ten
tatively but approvingly suggested
that Spain might save something by
making peace now. Referring TO the
certainty that some of her co,onial pos
sessions must be sacrificed. the Herald
said:
But il may yet be in her power TO have a voice
in the future disposition OF the Philippines. To
do this Spain viii have to act quickly The
American people might be disposed TO listen tO
some such suggestion now, coupled with peace
proposal. but If the war is prolonged this dispo-
sition VIII vanish and terms of peace become
more difficult
As things are at present, hostilities might pos

Spanish and American governments in somewhat
ing Egypt Both countries could have an equal
number Of troops, warsbips etc, the same line
England proposed 10 France for Egypt, but
which France refused.
No one need be surprised that such a
proposition should come from the Her
aid. That journal was openly the friend
of Spain before the war and has
since been SO secretly. This friend
ship sticks out all over the text of the
editorial from which the above excerpl
is taken. although its language is care

The Crisis in Spain.

The latest news from Madrid shows
that an acute governmental crisis in
Spain can no longer be averted. Yes
terday the Queen Regent signed a de-
cree proroguing the Cortes, and it was
read in the chambers last evening. 1t
is announced that the Sagasta ministry
viii at once resign, and that Senor Go
mazo viii attempt TO form a tide-over
government for the sole purpose of
making peace with the United States.
Should he be successful in that, he is 10
be succeeded by senor Silvela, who is
TO assume power on the basis of a
strong military rule and the suppression
OF popular discomfort and turbulence.
This. as it appears, is the program
laid down by the adherents OF the
reigning family now in power How far
they may have the ability to carry il
out remains to be seen. Our dispatches
state that there are many and strong
evidences that the Republicans are pre-
pairing for a serious demonstration and
perhaps an uprising, which may wreck
the monarchy before many days.
one thing appears plain. Both Lib
eraI and Republican factions, in fact
all elements except the extreme reac-
tionists, who include the Carlists and
Weylerites, are clamOring for peace.
1t is not so certain that they will con-
tinue in that mind when they under
stand the round price they must pay to
secure it, Hardly anybody in Spain
yet realizes the fact that the United
States viii not consent to cessation
OF hOstilides except upon a surrender
of all Spanish pretensions to Cuba, Por-
TO Rico, and the Philippine Islands.

require them as such, he declared, we had
Pearl harbor already which, ne said, was
all that was necessary for that purpose
At $3.50 Mr.. McEnery concluded his re-
marks and Mr.. Pettigrew asked for
roll call, saying there were only three
or four Republican senator's in their seats.
Mr.. Turley then took the floor in oppo-
sition to the resolutions. He said in part
II have no doubt that every senator
realizes that the question now pending
before the Senate is as important. If not
more important, than any matter this
body has ever been called upon to decide
1T is proposed now to abandon a gov
ernmental policy which we have strictly
adhered to since the beginning of our
national life. and under which we have
grown great and prosperous. Not only
that, but ii is proposed TO do ii In a way
never heretofore attempted.
In June of last year a treaty was
agreed upon between this Government
and the republic of Hawaii. That treaty
was transmitted to this body for
its action, and it has been here pending
ever since Its object was TO annex the
Hawaiian territory to the United States
upon the terms and conditions set forth
in the treaty. After that treaty had been
considered for months here, within the
last few days, a resolution has been sent
from the Rouse TO the Senate, proposing
to do, by legislative action. just exactly
what that treaty contemplated.
In other words, this Government.
through It's treaty making power, was
seeking to accomplish a certain object.
and, while the treaty is still pending and
| undisposed Of It is proposed to accom-
| plish exactly the same object through a
| joint resolution by the Legislative enact
| ment of both houses of Congress. Such
| an attempt. | repeat has never been made
| before in the history of our Government" "
Mr.. Turley then turned his attention to
] what he termed the unconstitutiOnality of
this method of acquiring the Islands. He
talked until O'Clock on this phase of the
| question.

The Historic Democratic Policy.

From the Brooklyn Eagle)
The stamp which Jefferson ard his colleagues
put upon treaty Of peace with Great Britain,
after the Revolution, carried our dominion from
the Allegheny River to the Northwestern Lakes.
and brought TO us Ohio, Indiana and Michigan.
By the Louisiana purchase. jefferson extended our
dominion, east and west OF the Mississippi, to the
Canada line, and thence northwest to the Oregon
shores OF the Pacific sea- Under a Democratic
President, the Floridas were brought into the
Union. Under another Democratic President,
Texas entered the Union. and. by war, from Mex-
leo we acquired all the territory between the Rio
Grande River and the Rocky Mountains and the
Pacific Ocean which jefferson had not before OBJ
tanned. The genius of acquisition has been a
Democratic genius. The United States are large
because the Democrats have made them so. Every
Democratic enlargement resisted by the party
opposed to the Democracy when it occurred.

The Cornell Victory.

The boys of Cornell have undoubted-
ly been painting the town of Ithaca red,
white. and blue, in celebration of their
victory over Yale and Harvard. A col
lege boat race is one of the most inspir-
iting and delightful features OF our
modern life, and while in its excite
ment, its hard work, and the intense
partisanship which it inspires, it rivals
the athletic games of old Greece and
Rome, there is none Of the brutality
which marred those festivals. While
feel natural disappointment over the
victory of the Ithacans-and some Of
them feel also a leanness in their pock-
ets-there is still a thorough respect for
the victors, and the knowledge that it
may be possible some day to turn the
tables. The brutal features of the old
time training have been eliminated.
Many of the rowdy scenes which for
merly disgraced college festivals have
gene with them. And, so, wherever
ones sympathies may naturally be
placed, one can, with good grace, join
in at least three cheers for the victor
Cornell.
One of the interesting facts about this
particular race is that it is a victory,
not only for Cornell, BITE for the Ameri-
can stroke. The Harvard stroke is
purely English, and that of Yale is a
sort of compromise between the Eng
lish and American. Cornell, alone, ad-
heres TO the purely American method.
This fact will dispose many people to
rejoice with her in her success.
Also. Cornell is a new college. For
many years Harvard and Yale dis
tanced all other American institutions
in athletic sports, and, as generally
happens with habitual victors, some OF
the youths of those colleges got the idea
that they were the people, and prowess
would die with them. Cornell has
fought her way up to an equality with
these two great universities. in one
branch of athletics at least, and the
great American public. which loves
open competition and does not love mo,
nopolies. looks on and enjoys the stu
! alton.
Three cheers for Cornell!

THE CABINET is PLEASED.
Regards the War Situation rs
Satisfactory.

The Cabinet meeting yesterday was
little more than a congraulatory session,
during the progress of which the various
secretaries took occasion to express their
complete satisfaction with the war situa-
ton in general and the success of Gen.
Skaters invasion operations in particu-
lar.
II was Secretary Wilson who afterward
said: I'VE just gave ourselves over to
little rejoicing in consequence of recent
events and the bright promise of the i'm
mediate future"
The session was rather more brief than
usual. Secretary Long came late and
withdrew half hour or more before the
other secretaries. He expressed great
confidence in future operations at San
tiaso and admitted that news of an
engagement is momentariiy expected.
The West Indian campaign engaged the
particular attention of the Cabinet The
President Is understood TO have reltera. ed

a military officer who is in touch with
! the entire situation. said yesterday:
/ Future operations in Santiago and
| Porto Rico will determine the plan of at

! capital will be attacked as Santiago has

| be taken first, and from several different
| points on the island American troops will
| close in upon Havana. With a strong
siege the city can be starved out in two
| weeks.
The Cadiz fleet was but lightly dis
| cussed at the Cabinet meeting. The Ad-
| ministration feels not the least apprehen-
! sion of any serious results from Camara' 5
erratic movements, and even if his fleet
is headed for the Philippines Dewey is
counted upon to destroy him without diff

The Doom of Santiago.

Marching from Baiquiri by way Of
JuIagua on the east and from Cabanas
on the west, Gen. Skaters army, as
sisted by Garcia's command Of Cubans,
by this time has nearly completed the
investment Of Santiago. Linares made
& partial stand at Juragua, and then
fell back 10 SaVilla, where, at latest
accounts, our troops on that side We're
pressing him, at the edge Of the plateau
which extends thence to the city.
From the tactics apparently resorted
to by the enemy, il does not look as if
they would attempt TO bring on a gen.
eral engagement outside Of their works.
They appear TO be skirmishing and re-
treating within their intrenched posi-
tions. In the meantime the American
forces are pushing steadily forward TO
gain the heights overlooking the harbor.
When once those eminences are gained
and our siege guns planted, it is be-
Iieved that such a plunging fire can be
poured upon Cervera's vessels that he

The New York Herald, and all other

as we'll understand from the start that
this country would no more think of
taking over the Philippine Islands on
joint account with the enemy than it
would of altogether relegating the in
habitants OF the archipelago to the op-
pressions and prosecutions of their old
masters. The idea that a scheme of
protectcrate could be invented, under
which Spanish and American naval and
military commanders and civil officers
would divide the functions of defense,
discipline, and government with any
result but constant fighting, is too sub
timely ridiculous to waste words upon.

it not for suspicion that the feeler put
out by the Herald to try the national

Spanish bond and allied interests in the
United States, which made such des

Cuba, and to avert hostilities. are now
preparing the way TO save for Spain
whatever may be possible out of the
wreck. Their views will not be pro-

any way with the treacherous and bar
barous nation whose outlawry we have
