What is the most roundabout journey
that the absence of proper steamship
communication entails on the inhabitants
of any country? Surely it must be THAI
described by our consul at Loanda, Portu-
guese West Africa. If one of the 5000
whites of Angola, or l 200 Europeans in the
Congo Independent State, who so fire.
quently need change of climate, wishes
to spend week or two in Cape Town
which should lie, even by slow steamer,
only six days distant-he has to travel
5000 miles from Loanda to MADEIRA. catch
there a Cape steamer, and journey for
another fortnight the $500 miles to Cape
Town. 1t thus needs fully a months con-
tinuous travelling and 1000 miles of it to

He believes the Almighty has intrusted
to his country the power of "civilizing"
weaker nations for the purpose of rob-
bling them of their liberty to advance
the material interests OF John Bull. He
would feel happy if Uncle Sam only
helped him to plumber in the name Of
liberty and civilization. Thank God,
the American society in London and
the present American ambassador do
not represent the American people at
home. 1t would be a great misfortune
if such sentiments prevailed among a
majority of American citizens. If we
mistake not, the party which Choate
represents in London can. u succeed in
linking the republic to the chariot wheels
of the British empire. The Anglo-Sax-
ons are not strong enough to change
this republic from its course and make
it an adjunct or dependency of England
in the future. There is day OF reck-
oning for the Anglo-Saxons in this
country, and it is fast approaching.

important town should be garrisoned,
and that the entire valley through which
the railway runs, as far north as Dagu-
pan, may be conquered and occupied,
and all important ports should be occu-
pied to protect the inhabitants and re-
store commerce. Outrages against per-
sons and property have been numerous
in those ports, and many claims, in con-
sequence, are being prepared against the
United States government by citizens Of
foreign nations.
The sentiment among the volunteer
soldiers here is almost unanimous for inn
mediate return to the United States.
Some soldiers who have signifed their
desire to embark in business in Manila
have been refused permits by the mill
tary government. The war against the
insurgents is unpopular with the troops,
who show no enthusiasm in their work
and little pride in the victories which
they have won.

the earth. He figured that if he could
dc this before the assembling of con-
gress in December that he would have
fixed the future policy OF the nation
and that colonial policy and imperial
ism would be so far advanced and ap-
proved by the public that congress
would not dare take a back
ward step. He realized, moreover,
the great element of doubt and uncer-
tainty he would encounter in call for
volunteers to make this unauthorized
unholy, and unpopular conquest He
feared that volunteers would not re-
spond and that in making a call for
them he would expose the weakness Of
his policy and either have to abandon it
or see his party repudiated in the fall
elections. Hence it was determined
upon to hold the volunteers, rush them
to the front with all possible force and
harrass the enemy to the greatest posi-
bic extent, and then seek to bring hos
tilities to a close by making all sorts of
fine promises to the insurgent leaders,
if they would surrender. The campaign
ended in disaster, and instead of tri-
umph is now regarded as the gigantic
hlunder of the ages from military point
of view and leaves the situation in the
Philippines far more aggravated than
ever before.

MORE. MEN FOR THE PHILIPPINES.

1t is now believed by every one who
has watched McKinley's war in the Phil
ippines that General Otis requires twice
the number OF troops that he said could
conquer the Filipinos and restore order
in the islands, Every military man who
knows the situation in Luzon has given
it as his opinion that Otis has under
estimated the strength OF Aguinaldo.
General Lawton has declared that it
will take an army of 100000 men to
subdue him. General Charles King says
that 10000 troops will be necessary for
the subjugation OF the islands, while
General II. G. Otls says 10000 less can
do it-3oooo for the fighting columns,
and 10000 for garrison duty. Both OF
these generals are in favor Of prosecut-
ing the unholy war to the bitter end and
stand in with the administrator We
believe that Lawton comes nearer the
mark than either of them.
John I. McCutchcon, one of the most
enterprising correspondents at Manila,
has lately sent a dispatch by way OF
Hong Kong to the Chicago Record, and
he thinks that Otis will need $4,000
troops after the rainy season is over.
He says that after the departure of the
volunteers for home, Otis will have no
more than 10000 troops left to continue
operations, and of these only 5000 will
be fit for effective duty. Mr.. McCut-
cheon managed to escape the censor at
Manila by sending his dispatch to Hong
Kong, from which it was cabled to Chi
cago. What he says of the actual con-
dition OF affairs is worth noting. Among
other things Mr.. McCutcheon says:
More than twice the present number
OF troops, including volunteers, are
needed here. There should be several
regiments OF cavalry, properly mounted,
and well organized pioneer and enginee-
corps. The building of good roads
through the island is indispensable to
the paci6cation OF the country. There
are now 1000 men in hospital. Sixteen
thousand troops are in garrison at Ma
Mia, Cavite and the smaller towns, so
that before the volunteers retire from
the island there are only about 5000
men available for active campaigning.
This is not sufficient, particularly as the
troops at San Fernando and other sta
tons north of Manila are in bad condi-
ton, many having heart trouble as the
result of overexertion in the terrible
heat.
On account Of the small number OF
troops left for active service when the
new advances are to be made, frequent
shifting of regiments is necessary, re-
curing long marches of exhausted regi-
ments, and these marches are great
waste of time and energy.
There should be at least 1900 troops

Referring to Archbishop Ireland's re-
ception by the English Tories, the Dub
lin Freeman's Journal says: "Ten years
ago there was no Catholic prelate in the
United States so distinguished for his
fidelity to the Irish cause; and he was
rewarded accordingly with the offensive
hostility OF Englishmen who now show
him nothing but friendship. Everything
comes to him who knows how to wait.
The change in sentiment towards the
St. Paul prelate may be occasioned by
the fact that he favors the cordial rela-
tons existing between Great Britain
and the United States. He endorses the
foreign policy OF the president, whom
he styled Magnificent Mckinley" from
the pulpit OF his own cathedral. 1t is
something new to Irish-Americans to
learn on the authority OF our Dublin
contemporary that ten years ago there
was no Catholic prelate in the United
States: so distinguished for his fidelity
to the Irish cause" as Archbishop
Ireland. The fact OF the matter is that
the esteemed metropolitan of St. Paul
has always maintained an eloquent ST.
lence on the Irish question, and we in
the Northwest ought to know whereof
we speak.

Frank G. Carpenter, the noted news
paper correspondent, says that the citi-
zens OF the South American republic
are afraid OF the United States. A ha-
bitual expression of theirs is "Los Yam
KEGS son diablos!' which means chose
Yankees are devils" Mr.. Carpenter
says: "They fear US, for they imagine
that sooner or later we expect to take
the whole of South America and make
it subject to Our country. You may tell
them that we would not have the CONT
ncnt as a gift. They will smile at the
statement and say, Isl, Senior! but in
their hearts they believe you are lying.
This is so of every country OF South
America, from little Paraguay to Brazil.
1t is especially so of the Chileans, and
very much so with the Argentines."
They have more reason than ever for
fearing the United States since McKin-
ley and his masters adopted the un-
republican policy OF Imperialism. They
need not fear, however, that the expan-
sionists will be allowed to destroy re-
publics in the western hemisphere.

Colonel w. ]. Bryan is not deferred
by fear of bigotry from speaking eulo-
gistically OF the Irish people. In let
ter to the Hibernians of St. Louis, NO.,
he says: call races have exhibited more
or less race pride and attachment, but
none have shown themselves more de-
voted than the Irish to sthe land of
their birth and the people of their blood.
Our nation can learn from the Irish
people lesson of great importance just
at this time, namely: That one race
cannot govern another race by force;
nor can it govern without exciting the
continued enmity of the governed. Ire
land has long been denied that right of
self-government, but the desire for self
government has increased rather than
diminished with the lapse of years."
