Deeply Significant.

~ VEN at the risk of adding to
r the long list of moral treasons"
already laid up against the
Standard, we cannot refrain from ad-
verting to three very significant pieces
of news which have come over the
wires within two or three days.
First was a long telegram from
Washington, via New York, reiterating
Adjutant General Corbin's statement
that Otis has all the troops he needs
and following up this statement with
an elaborate recital of the reasons why
the thirty-five thousand volunteers au-
thorized by the last congress have not
been called into service.
As the second contribution came
dispatch direct from Washington to the
effect that the war department has or
dered the Twenty-fourth and Twenty
fifth regiments of regulars-excepting
four companies of each-to assemble at
San Francisco and be put in readiness
for duty in the Philippines.
The third item was news direct
from Manila that General Lawton with
5000 men has just fought one of the
hardest battles in the war with the
Filipnos. The especial significance Of
this last news lies in the brace of facts
that the battle was fought at Las
Pinas near the spot where Dewey first
landed after his great victory over the
Spanish fleet, only a few miles south
of Manila, and in the desperate char
acter of the Filipinos defense.
Daily during the past three months
| the public has been assured by the dis
| patches that the rebellion was on the
| verge of a collapse and that Otis had
| an abundance of mentor which rea-
| sons the president would not call out
the additional troops authorized by
| law. Nevertheless, here We have the
natives almost within cannon shot of
Manila, in strong force. evidently well
and skillfully commanded, showing no
signs of decentralization and putting up
a battle under the very guns of the
American fleet which taxed the gener-
alship of Lawton and the heroic en-
durance of his men to the uttermost
limit.
That Otis needs more troops
! is conclusively shown by the pro-
posed sending of the additional
| regulars. Plainly, if he already
| has men enough, it is simple
waste of time and money, an inexcus-
able blunder, to send him nearly two
regiments more For its part, this
countrys public is not able to appre-
Ciate either the patriotism or the high
craftsmanship which will persist in
fighting any war with an insufficient
force, when adequate help can so cas-
lily be had.
The dispatch by way of New York,
already referred to, let's the cat out of
the bag. II says that it is utterly i'm
practicable speedily to reinforce Gen
eral Otis with thirty-five thousand men,
| for lack of transportation; that such a
force could be raised and equipped in
a week, but that it would take TWO
months to drill it into shape and two
months more to make the trip to Ma
Mia This is a lame excuse. If the
work of enlistment had begun as soon
as authorized the troops could have
been there now or very nearly, But 1t

In Kruger's Country. ~.

~O all appearance, the sentiment
gains ground in England that
Dom Paul Kruger's little repub-
lie in the Transvaal has a sound thrash
ing coming. 1t transpired, several days
ago, that the conference between Presi-
dent Kruger and Sir Alfred Miner the
British high commissioner, came to
nothing. Kruger proposed an arbitra-
ton; Miner did not see that the case
is one that calls for the interference of
any outside power.
The Transvaal situation is a little
confusing, for the reason that thefmar-
tiers in contention do not present zone
well-defined issue. England brings to
bear a whole bundle of complaints. 1t
is conflict all along the line between
Kruger's slow going, old fashion Dutch
subjects and. on the erahand, those
who are described as theg Uitianders-
these are the foreigners, &ands in slarge
percentage they are Englishmen. ~
The demand made at London is that
these Englshmen who have settled in.
the Transvaal shall be admitted to full
voting equality with the Dutch and
that. they shall have an equal hand in
shaping the government. That means
that they would presently be in con-
troll, as is the Anglo Saxon habit wher-,
ever the race settles down. That means,
ultimately, the introduction of English
! in the schools, a sharp departure in
| government methods from Boer tradi-
tlons and, of course, the reign Of the
kind of public opinion that is utterly
foreign and cordially distasteful to the
sleepy Dutchman who are bigots in
| their attachment to the old ways and
who look with contempt on innovations
and the processes that would tend to
modernize their out-of-date methods.
More and more it looks as if the re-
suit of recent years of tedious diplo-
matte exchanges wouldtbe war. There
| can be no doubt as to what the out
come of such war must be-might will
prevail and, in this instance, might IS
on England's side. To be sure, these
Boer subjects of old Dom Paul will
fight desperately; they will be inspired
by every sentiment that prompts men
to rush to the defense of the fatherland
There is no doubt that every element in
| the situation appeals to American sent
iment in way that awakens sympathy
| for these Transvaal Dutchmen; the
news of the past year or two, however,
and the information the American pub
lie has gathered is to the effect that the
rich mines of the region have drawn in
a great population of foreigners, so
| great that the Dutch are afraid to give
them full rights to citizenship which
they are entitled to in a republic, for
fear that they would bring about the
very revolution within the government
which is now likely to come by force
from without.
The struggle, therefore, is one that
really involves two civilizations. These
constantly present sharp contrasts. The
Boer side represents the old and. as
history runs, it is more than likely to
go down before the new. That result
could be brought about through peace
full processes, but at this moment the
outlook is that it will be achieved more
expeditiously and by the sword.

Admiral Schley has been flooded with re-
quests from conductors of magazines for
articles giving his experiences in the war.
He has made up his mind not to write a

should not write any of it.
Ex-Postmaster General John Wanama-

Ex-senator Allen of Nebraska, who is
now Judge Allen of the district bench of

ding any district judge of that state in
any way to represent as counsel pri-

Allen claims that such a law can apply
only to a Nebraska court and that this is
a federal court case.

Unreasonable Red Men.

Trouble is reported among the Chey-
enne Indians of Colorado and troops
are to be sent there to keep saem quiet,
if not to benevolently assimilate them.
The trouble is that the white settlers
have squatted on the Indian lands and
the Indians are unreasonable enough
to raise a fuss over it. 1t seems to be
one of the savage idiosyncrasies to OBJ
ject to being robbed of their property
