THE CLOUD IN CUBA.

The Record Union" the other day
expressed the belief that we are to have
trouble with the Cubans. 1t is coming
sooner than we expected A consider
able number of the late insurgent force
refuse TO surrender the arms they
from the United States. 1t seems to
be question whether this is intended
TO be an insult to Gomez, or fiat def
ance of America. Some of the press is
Of the opinion that If we should come
to strife with these insurgents, it will
prove that the war with Spain was
fought with little profit to ourselves.
Not SO. Ii the Cubans resist US we
will whip them and take the island out
of hand. If they revolt, it will release
us from the obligations under which we
now temporarily occupy Cuba.
We have Porto Rico, worth quite the
cost Of the war 1t is pacified; the new
form of government is in successful
operation; the people are contented and
the latest official reports run to the
effect that Porto Rico promises to
prove to be a highly valuable possess
sion, and that the people will rapidly
become good Americans. Then we have
the Philippines, for the insurrection
there is practically ended. There will
not be much more fighting in Luzon,
and that is the only portion of the
archipelago that is giving us any trou-
BILE. Even there Aguinaldos forces by
no means represent the majority of the
native people.
Coming then to Cuba, if there is in
surrection there it will be small af-
fair The few thousand disgruntled
Cuban troops represent but a very
small portion of the people of Cuba.
But IL they should acquire sufficient i'm
Dortance to make state Of war prob

Dispatches of yesterday from Manila
say that a larger army will be needed
in Luzon to crush the insurrection.
because while our forces move victori-
ously forward and take place after
place, inadequency of force prevents
our garrisoning these positions. AS q
result the insurgents retake the places
as we move out and forward. We are
compelled to uncover taken points as
rapidly as we take them in order to
advance. The rebels close in on these
and thus engage in a harassing war.
Assuming these statements to be
sound, the response must be, then put
into Luzon sufficient soldiers to meet
the conditions. For we are not to
abandon the island. However, there
is not warrant, as yet, for the dispatch
referred to. The official reports all
justify the belief that the insurrection
is rapidly approaching its end, and that
loss of arms, lack of ammunition and
revelations to the people that Ameri-
cans are not cutthroats and oppres-
sors, are sapping the insurgent cause.

BANKRUPTCY LAWS.
Oakland Tribune: In view OF the
great success that has attended our
recently bankruptcy law, It
seems odd that Canada should decline
to enact a similar measure. Practically
every objection they are raising was
also advanced here before the passage
of our law, yet when it went into Ell
feet all the anticipated troubles were
speedily lost sight of. Nothing CT
greater value to the commercial inter-
ests of the country has been accom-
plished in late years than the passage
of that very law, so Canada can well
afford to take pattern by US.

ADMIRAL DEWEY.
Will Reach New York About
October First.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Admiral
Dewey telegraphs the Navy Depart
ment that he will stop at various places
on his way to the United States and
reach New York about October 1st.
Admiral Dewey's dispatch did not
enumerate the points at which the
Olympia will touch en- route to New
York. It may be that an effort will
be made to ascertain this for the bene-
fit of some of the towns, especially
along the Mediterranean, who may de-
sire to take official notice of the visit
of the distinguished naval officer and
his famous flagship.
Some of Dewey's friends in the Navy
Department suspect that the Admiral
his itinerary so as to avoid as far as
possible all demonstrations.
One result of the postponement of the
AdmiraPs arrival in this county until
October has been the impossibility of
the Admirafs presence at the G. A. r.
encampment at Philadelphia His
friends there say that after all this
was the only occasion which the Ad-
miral. had positively promised to at
tend, and they intimate that in having
been obligated by his health to decline
the dinner at Hongkong in honor of
the Queens birthday, Admiral Dewey
will find it impossible to drop from
the rule he there established and at
tend any banquets or popular demon
strations in this country.
Most of the time of Admiral Dewey
before his return, it is expected, will
be passed in Mediterranean ports, and
a generous part at Malta and Gibraltar.
and, perhaps, coming by the southern
route, the Olympia will touch at the
Azores and Bermuda

THE SAMOAN AFFAIR.

The news from Samoa is that the new
commission sustains Admiral Kautz.
This means then that Supreme Justice
2 Chambers is confirmed in his opinion in
favor of Malietoa Tanu. Mataafa must
therefore yield or be put down. Ger
man pretension as represented by the
antagonistic action of the German Con-
sui therefore receives rebuke. and the
agree that America and England acted
rightly in opposing the claims of Ma
taafa
This chieftain, who is by no means an
unlettered savage, but man of brains
and keen perception, has sent to the
new commission a communication greet
ing them and expressing the hope that
they will be able to speedily put an end
TO the difficulties between the natives.
This they appear to have done in
swift and emphatic manner, refusing
Mataafa the privilege of bearing arms
pending the work of the commission.
of Mataafa will, however, never recog-
nize Malietoa. They will submit for the
present, but will always be antagonistic
to the young King, and may cause him
ton at the first favorable opportunity.
1t will be the office of America, the
British and German Governments to
see that such an opportunity does not
must be maintained there constantly by
one or the other of the three Powers,
as originally agreed upon.
The question now arises whether the
game is worth the candle? There is
growing up a strong feeling of the neg
ative order. We confess that except
for the fact that the .tripartite agree
ment prevents the seizure and oecu-
pancy of the islands by some other, or
one of the three great Powers, the out
put of money and energy is not COM
pensated for by the commercial returns.
so far as this country is concerned. But
for naval reasons we cannot afford to
lose our foothold in the Samoan ISL
ands. We have safe harbor there.
It's true, which is ours, no matter
under what domination the islands may
come. But it is felt that we need more
than that, that we must conserve and
protect the commercial interests we
have at Apia This consideration will
probably keep US in the Samoan group
for an indefinite period.

In the commercial year 1898 we ex-
ported to South America $50, ,S21, ,701 of
merchandise values and imported from
the same continent 92.091, ,604. Il is
true that our imports were $4,000, 600
less than in 1897, but our exports were
less also by considerable figure. The
showing, which is from the Treasury re-
ports just at hand, prove the necessity
that is upon US of stimulating trade
with the southern continent. One way
to that end is the eneoura cement of
such expositions as the Pan-Ameriean
to be held in Buffalo, in which Califor-
MIA should be represented at her best.
For we have an exceeding large inter
est in building up our trade with other
American States than those of our own
republic.

1t is not at all surprising that the
American-Canadian Joint Commission
should fail to agree upon many of the
issues submitted to them. No one
familiar with the complexity of COM
mercial relations between Canada and
the United States ever expected the
Joint High Commission to be a unit
upon all the varied propositions before
it. A great advance will have been
made by the simple discussion Of the
questions, and agreement upon a few.
That in itself will bring us nearer to
a final adjustment satisfactory to both
countries. Complete reciprocity in trade
will some day be attained between
these neighbors, but that it was to be
reached in this century was not antici-
pated by the most optimistic of friends
of that policy.

The Vice President of the Boer Gov
ernment says he and his people favor
reforms in the TransTaal. But he
very properly adds that petitions by the
foreign residents should be made to the
Burghers, not to foreign powers. Pre-
clsely. What would we think if all the
Frenchmen, for instance. in the United
States should appeal to France to in
stitute certain reforms as they might
be pleased to call them in the govern
ment of the United States, and to ac-
complish the institution by France
threatening us with her mighty guns.
Naturally we would be indignant and
put all such aliens under surveillance.
At the same time we would say to
them, If you have grievances, submit
them TO US, not to foreign bodies. The
Vice-President, it is said, adds that
the Beers are perfectly willing to grant
the foreign residents the franchise they
ask provided they fill the short proba-
tionary term of residence and take the
oath of allegiance. Reasonable, that.

able, and if they should receive the

nit the Cubans to enter upon the ex

imagination would be necessary to
forecast the anarchy that would en-

may shudder to think upon. However,
