WHEELING, JUNE ., 1899.
Tho Now Spanish Minister.

The arrival Of the new Spanish minis
ter In Washington, and his reception,
renews actual friendly diplomatic rela-'
lions between the United States and
Spain. MOI since the departure OF Senior
Polo at the outbreak of the war has
Spain been represented at Washington
by Spaniard, the French ambassador
having Spain's interests In charge. 1t
must have been source Of qualification
to the Duke Of ARGOS to find upon his
arrival In Washington the Spanish flag
floating beside Old Glory over the hotel
at which he was to stop. A year ago a
Spanish flag In Washington floating
over any sort OF building would not
have been regarded as pleasing sight
to the Washington public.
A great deal has occurred to change
the map of the world and TO alter the
standing of both Spain and the United
States before the Nations since the
Spanish national emblem was hauled
down from the headquarters Of the lega-
ton maintained by our late enemy a
little more than year ago. It has been
due to the superiority of the power Of
the American Republic, which Is only

Strong Candidate for sncnkcr.

q
1t seems that the Iowa congressional
delegation is making considerable head:
way In the effort to unite the western
members on the Republican side Of the
house to centre on the support of Rep
resentatlve Henderson for the speaker
ship. AS before remarked by the In
telligencer. the western members are In
the. majority. and should they succeed
In uniting on a strong man. there Is n
possibility of them gaining their point.
Candidates from other states have great
influences back Of them, and the proba-
bility is that the opening of Congress
may find things considerably complI-
Gated. s-.
& Speaking of Henderson rs a possible
candidate on whom the western MEM
bers can unite, a writer In his behalf
declares that Henderson, by reason Of
his experience. is one of the best equip
ped Of all the candidates. OF the physl-
cal qualities necessary, the enthusiastic
friend describes the Iowan as possessing
"uuickness OF eye and ear, clearness and
strength Of voice. and the power to en-
dure long and continued labor" These
are essentials. he declares. without
which other qualifications Of high char
acter prove unavailing. He states that
Col. Henderson has these qualities to
an eminent degree beside his ability as
a parliamentarian. He has served in
prominent positions In Congress for
eighteen years. With such Il record
and such strong backing Colonel Hen
derson seems to be ready for strong
fight. Other candidates will be hard
pushed. though 1t is too early yet to pre-
diet definite results.

Gen. Otis Corrects Fnlsehoods.

One OF the most important official
publications yet made concerning the
situation in the Philippines was the one
given out by the war department, and
published yesterday morning. 1. was
the report of General Otis. under date
Of April G. and sent by mail from Ma
Mia. 1t is important. because 1t con-
tains the correct history OF the rise and
developments of the conditions which
resulted In the present conflict with the
Filipinos. which seems to have become
confused by the recent publication Of
statements by the "anti-imperialists
that are without foundation.
In General Otis brief review of the
Instruction, he deems 1t Essential in
order to correct the somewhat prevail
Ing impression that the government Of
the United States Is responsible, through
deceit or wrong action. for the present
existing hostilitIes." These are Gem
eral OTIS own words. The IntellIgencer

HAVE MERCY ON HIM.

So Dewey will not be able to reach New York about July 1, the annive:s- ary week of the memorable naval bat tie Of Santiago. It would have been a most happy coincidence of events, the arrival Of the worlds greatest fighting sailor, the anniversary Of thc blow that crushed Spain, and She an- niversary of the declaration which pronounced the birth of what has grown to be the worlds greatest na- ton. But his arrival will be a time when the wings Of the American eagle will flap as never beforc-as they never had occasion to before Enthu- siasm is a weak term for the spirit that will prevail everywhere iii the country, when Dewey gets home.
 It will not be easy for 5he Ameriean people to set brake on their enthusi- asm, but it is apparent in Jew of the admiral's health, that this is what they must do if they wish 10 be really kind to him. The numerous civ'c au- thorities and others who are deiuging him with invitations by cable mean well, but their plans give good reason to fear that Dewey's countrymen VIII poster him to death if he is good ra- tured enough to accept their attention CT subject him to the appaavance Cf in gratitude if he sets his foot firmly down and refuses to permit the wei come business to be overd0ne. as his health seems to demand. Dewpys re- turn should be celebrated upon his il- rival with all the hurra1, noise and eclat possible, but that celebration should not be permitted to take on the nature of a parochial affair. as is now contemplated in New York. \ few nCnentities of that town, combined with some others not So unimportant, are arranging an exclusive dinner at S100 a plate and assume 10 themselves the duty Of doing the hono~s behind docrs closed to all but the ele4l who can afford 10 put Up the big ante and get into the clique This is no only selfish, bus vulgar.
