Although willing to nbrogate the

that she expects an equivalent in return
for her action.
This equivalent will be exacted dur
Ing the negotiations OF the American

for concessions equal In value to that

will see greater or less number Of their

These deaths have occurred from time

Against the promotion OF Col. Miller
Comes too Late.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2i.-Cap-
tain @. F. +. Wilde, United States navy.
Of the United States steamship Boston,
has protested against the promotion OF
Colonel Miller to brigadler generalship
as reward for the capture OF Iloilo. 1t
appears that this capture was effected
entirely by naval forces under the com
mand OF Captain Wilde, and that It was
not until after the capture had been eff
fected that the place was turned over to
Colonel Miller, who. up to that time,
had nothing to do with Its capture. This
action Is endorsed by Admiral Dewey.
Captain Witde's protest comes ton
late to be effective.a as Colonel Miller was
promoted brigadler general February

capture OF 1loilo. and was retired In that
grade March q, bp operation of law on

the expedition sent from Manila for the
capture of lloilo, and the cruisers Bos-
ton and Petrol were sent with him to
render assistance. While the vessels Of
the expedition were lying off the port
the natives began to strengthen their
defences and fired several shots at the
Petrol. which vessel was anchored near
est the shore. The commanders OF that
small warship asked and received per-
mission Of Captain Wilde, of the Bos-
ton, to respond. AT this time, according
to naval ndylces, General MIXERS army
transports were far out In the road

General Miller the two warships opened

YELLOW DIPLOMACY.

Gross Ignorance OF Our Institution
and Character Its Only Inspirations.
salt Lake Tribune: We understand
that the New York World has sent a
proposition to the governors of states
of the United States asking that they
call immense mass meetings to protest
against England making war upon the
Beers. 1t seems to US that this is the
most un-Amerlcan performance we
have ever known a newspaper IN this
country to engage in. In the first place,
II is pure lnsOlence, and in the second
place, could It be carried out 1t would
be an exhibition OF such inBratitude as
no nation was ever guilty Of before. We
do not suppose that there Is one man In
thousand in America who has any
clear understanding Of the difficulty be-
tween Great Britain and the Beers. But
waving that, year ago we were en-
gagged in a war with Spain. All that
kept US from being involved with four
or five nations Of Europe was the atti-
tude Of Great Britain. That country
showed us the utmost friendliness, and
showed It in way to give continental
Europe notice that II the United States
was interfered with in the slightest by
any Of them they would have Great
Britain to fight as well as the United
States. Again, when preparations were
ready for the attack on the city of Ma
Mia and the warships Of other nations
took up their positions in the harbor,
the British squadron there got up
steam, hauled in Its anchors, and quiet
~ and without noise took up It's posi-
ton between the squadron Of Admiral
Dewey and all the others. 1t was a
quiet but effective notice to oil the 9th
ers that they must not interfere next
day. That any paper in our country
should ask such thing Is dead clear
proof that the man in control OF that
paper has not yet learned either the
spirit of our institutions or the charac-
ter OF the American people. We do not
believe that In all the states there win
be one favorable response to the unl
American request. III
