Havana. Aug 2O.-In view of the
fact that Col. Bacallao, chief of the Sc
cret. police, persisted in his denial that
Gen. Juan Isidro Jiminez, the aspirant
to the presidency of Santo Domingo,
was still in Havana and had not left
his house, the military authorities tele
graphed to Cienfuegos instructing
Capt. Stamper, collector of customs
there, to ascertain whether Jiminez
was on the NIend>z steamer, and to
take him under arrest if that should be
the case. Just as the steamer was
ABOUT leaving Cienfuegos Capt. Stamp
er located Jiminez and arrested him.
.Jiminez denounced the arrest as an
outrage. He said he had broken no
law and would not yield except to
force. Capt. Stamper replied that he
was ready to use force if necessary,
and Jiminez then yielded, remarking
that he did so only because he could
not help himself. Senior Frias. mayor
'of Cienfuegos, refused to make the ar
rest. claiming that Gen. Jiminez was
an old personal friend whom he had
known intimately for years. When
.Jiminez was taken into custody Senior
IIlds WIS lOuuu Wltll IL ponce luSppc-
tor in close conversation with Jiminez
and the latter's secretary. 1t is be-
lieved the mayor was urging him to
leave the steamer, to conceal himself
and to wait for a better opportunity.
Capt. Stamper informed JimineZ that
he would make him as comfortable as
possible, and after Jiminez and his sec
rotary had packed their trunks they
were driven. accompanied by the chief
of police and Capt Stamper, to the
Union hotel, where two bed rooms and
a dining room We're placed at their dis
posal. Gen. Jiminez will be kept un-
der police charge until further orders
are received from the governor gen
eral. There is much excitement among
the people of Cienfuegos over the af-
fair. The sentiment is generally ex-
pressed that the authorities had no
right to arrest .imineZ, an unarmed
citizen, going apparently to Santiago,
Cuba, and the point is made that even
if he We're going to Santo Domingo. he
would only be returning to his native
country.

KERNEL OF THE ISSUE.

In the Washington Post appears temperate. well considered edi- torial which begins thus:
 1.-The St. Louis Republic IS one of very small number of newspa- pers which find 1t convenient to oppose national expansion in the orient without simultaneously mal- igning the Government, the peo- pie and the army of the United States. Stunning the approaches to the bad eminence of those jour nals that have striven to disgrace their country by malicious misrep- resentations of the acts and mo- tives of the Government, and in so doing have gained notoriety that smacks of infamy, the Republic contents itself with decent reputa- ble methods of opposition to pol icy which it honestly believes to be inimical to the welfare of the American people.
 Then the post asks What form will the expansion issue takei What should have been he course of the administration
 The Republic docs not hesitate to admit that sop.e critics of the administration have injudiciously chosen their grounds of opposition. The Republics position has little in comr.on with the meddling sen timerealism of men like Atkinson or thc>ignorant sentimentalism of men like Senator Hoar. Cor rupting theNdiscipline of the Uni.- ed States army is not likely to form part of The Republic 's pur- pose nor is the Repablie .ikely to start an argument with the assump- ton that the masses of population in the Philippines are at present capable of organized self-govern- ment.

WE sincerely hope that by the time the courts get through with the anti-trustilaw the legislators will know what they intended when they passed 1t. We have read several explanations of 1t by members and very few of them agree in their construction. One member from a neighboring county puts this construction upit. which in his own language. is as follows:
 Neither the implied or ex- pressed terms of the bill can be extorted into the shape of mean ing that the General Assembly undertook to say pools, com pines or trusts could not be formed in Mississippi, Tennes- see, Missouri or elsewhere, but simply, if so formed for the pur- pose of fixing rates, premiums, etc, to be paid or received in Ar kansas. then, and not until then. the same becomes a violation ot the statutes of Arkansas
 Now, 1t seems to us that ii this construction which we deem the sensible one, had been placed upon the act, generally. there would now be no litigation over 1t. But the trouble Is the Attorney General. the law off Ger of the State, has placed a widely different and variant con struction upon the act, to this effect, that if any insurance com pany belonging to rating board for any other state should do business Ill Arkansas, on its own hook and independent of such rating board or bureau 1t would, nevertheless be in con travention of the statute, and this contention is what has brought about the litigation.

Others still have received well-merited military degradation A jour nalistic accomplice has been i'm prisoned for libeling Zola. Shame and disgrace attach to each member of the infamous cabal.
 Zola forced to seek refuge in England from the assaults of militarists and anti-Semitists, has nevertheless a powerful ally on the ground-no less a perso- mage than M. Loubet, the Peas ant President of the French Re public. This strong and honest man seems resolved to secure justice for Dreyfus. He is wise enough to see that justice to Drevfus most truly means the upholding of French honor and the glory of the army of France It means the branding with un- dying infamy of certain officers, but 1t means also the purifica tion of the army.
 The Dreyfus case as 1t now stands promises in the end to teach a great moral lesson to the world. It will prove the power of right against wrong The Jew Captain of Artillery 1T the Fourteenth Regiment of the French Line will yet triumph over his enemies-the army. the judiciary, the administration the press and the people 0 France. as the array once stood against him.

Gen. Miles has contributed an interesting article to the May num- Der of the North American Re view in which he discusses many events in connection with the war with Spain, scrupulously avoiding any reference to the commissary department. Gen. Miles will probably devote his attention to this subject in time for his articles to be of practical use in the presi- dential campaign. Several weeks ago he announced that half of the story about the embalmed beef scandal had not been told. Gen. Miles should not withhold his infor- nation from the public. The yer dict of the court of inquixy should not have the effect of supprxssing the additional information he has at hand. It may be of sufficient importance to justify congressional investigation, despite the positive statement of the administration that the beef question IS closed incident Gazette.

But what is the end ot a series of necessities like this Obviously, 1t can only be highly centralized military government and the perpetual silence of "lese majeste. |" What then becomes of the American freedom of the indi. vidual2
 The administration has aot been bold enough to announce a policy of enduring sovereignty over the Philippines. It has not been skillful enough t, even occupy Ma nlla without h.inging on a bloody and costly var with the native populatiol.
 In the Philippines the only ser vice The administration has per formed IS in lucidly proving that ] he United States are as badly equipped for adroit government of foreign possessions as are the for eign populations for intelligent and equitable self-governmen.. The lesson Is that we must radically change our methods suited as they are to free goverr ment at home, or give up the fdsiness of manag- ing foreign peoples with those habits and thoughts we have noth- ing in common.
 Thee can be no mistake in the opir ion that if We had sent dex- te-ous men of affairs to the Philip pines we could easily have avoided conflict with the natives. But we had few men who were dexterous in that kind of affair. The Presi- dent, himself man of limited ex- perlenee and limited range of com Prehension, possessed not enough personal initiative to get away from the petty consuls and the un- tutored-in that sense-army off cers who were immediatly availa- ble.
