1t will be a subject for profound regret if
Congress shall fail to provide for joint
commission to settle the question in dispute
between this government and Canada The
House has voted the necessary amount, but
the Senate appropriations committee has
struck the item out. The reason for its ac-
tion is not as yet known. An effort will be
made to restore the item, and every con-
sideration of national and neighboriy inter-
est leads to the hope that it may succeed.
In the first place it is desirable thing in
itself to have no outstanding differences
with so near neighbor as Canada about
matters easy of adjustment: and in the
second place now is an excellent time to
settle all accounts. Canada is not only our
neighbor but our friend, and We are taking
note of our friends today. Besides we
have proposed the appointment of Joint
commission and 1t would leave the admin
istration in most embarrassing position
il Congress should negative the matter by
Withdrawing money for its support. The
sum asked is only fifty thousand dollars,
and the men who would represent the in
terests of the United States on the commits
sion are among the abiest diplomats we
have and are familiar with all the ques-
tions that would come up for action.

who is to assume full command on shore.
set out from San Francisco this morning.
The United States, therefore, is fully able
to cope with the situation. All interests in
Manila will be protected, Germany's among
the rest.
The United States takes charge at Manila
now by right of conquest. We aTe at war
with Spain. and are stripping her of her
colonial possessions part of the program
of conquering her. 1t Is legitimate work,
and it will go or until the order to halt Is
given here. Nobody else can give that or
der and have it obeyed. Later, what shall
be done with these ex-Spanish colonies will
come up. and that, too. will be settled by
the United States without foreign dicta-
ton. The real friends of the United States
will not attempt dictation, and other
powers. however strong their desires may
be- will think twice before deciding to In
terfere.
Gossip centers upon Germany in this mat
ter because of her capers in China. Her
commercial capitalization of few drops
Of missionary blood in that country was an
astounding transaction. Doubtless she de-

can guns are not China. as Germany and

The Situation at Manila.

The continued gossip about probable Ger
man interference at Manila causes no alarm
here. nor should 1t cause any. The Ameri-
can case there is strong of Itself, and. more
over. Is In the best of hands. Admiral
DeWey's guns command the city, and ne

executive grasp Is well known. The United
States will lose no sleep while he is on deck.
He cannot be bullied. and IL would be very
Gnicult to overreach him. His ships might
be stronger. but could not be better

1t Is within the possibilities that Santiago
may be captured by the invaders under
such circumstances as to permit them to

done and the cruisers should be in good
shape, it would perhaps be possible to add
them to the flying squadron that is about
TO be sent to Spanish waters under Commo-
dore Watson. This would indeed be the
irony of fate. Tc harrass Spain with her

1t has beep found on close examination
that the mines taken from the bay of
Guantanamo by the American forces had
been prevented from exploding by the
growth Of barnacies around the plunger

these arms on being struck by ships side

to the explosive contained In the mine as
to produce the desired result Of discharge.

that Unalaska Bay, up near the North
Pole. is better coaling and naval station
between this country and the Philippines

The first communications received by
General Shafter from In front of Santa go
were signed Wheeler" They came from
General Joe Wheeler, in command of tho
advance guard o. the American troops. AS
stories of heroes are the order of the day,
that Of this hero is appropriate.
General Wheeler was one of the ardent
advocates in Congress of freedom for Cuba.
He spoke with earnestness In the debates.
and whenever opportunity offered he voted
in accordance with his sentiments. Seeing
that war was inevitable he offered his serv-
ices to the government even before war
was declared. His, indeed, was the first
application placed on file. A graduate Of
West Point, distinguished for valor shown
in the army of the confederacy, he had
knowledge and experience for field service
which he knew would profit his govern
ment. and although he had reached an age
erutling him to rest he asked for an as
signment which would send him at once to
the front.
The President gladly complied with the
veterans wishes, and clapped the deserved
two stars on his shoulders. General
Wheeler was of at once. He was in camp
at Chickamauga the following week get
ting his command into shape, was among
the first to proceed to the Florida coast,
and was chosen then to go with the first
expedition to Cuba. He was among the
first ashore in Cuba, and was placed by
General Shafter in command of the ad-
vance guard So that the splendid dash
of the American troops which. to the ad-
miration of their coIrtrymen and to the
aTazement of their enemies, has carried
them almost at bound to within plain
sight of Santiago has been directed in part
by this plucky representative of the true
American spirit.
General Wheeler is sixty-two years old.
Two months ago he serving in the
House from the eighth Alabama district,
and had not drawn sword in battle for
thirty-tbree years. In a day he passed
from the council to the camp. and is now IN
the front rank il. the thick of war again.
1t is stuff like this to which the world pays
tribute everywhere.
Alabama is reaprg a liberal share Of
glory, but not n Gre than she is deserving.

Lieut.. Victor Blue, of the Suwanee, has
again distinguished himself by his cour-
ageous work in inspecting the Spanish
lines. His first expedition into the enemy )
territory at Santiago resolved into GER
tainty all questions concerning the where
abouts of Ceryera's fleet. He has now
returned from another trip into this in
terestIng but dangerous region and reports
many facts of undouoted value to toe

INCREASE OF THE NAVY.
On thi-point the report says:
"The navy should be increased; the
development of its various branches
should be homogeneous, and the in
crease in ships should be accompanied
by gradual increase in officers and
men, and in naval stations, coaling sta
tons, repair plants, etc.
"The naval board on construction
recommends the following increase:
81. Three seagoing sheathed and cop
pered battleships of about 1880 tons

lest armor and most powerful ordnance
for vessels of their class, and to have
the highest practicable speed and great
