Fighting Fever at Santiago.

Gen. Woods prompt measures for the
eradication of the yellow fever from the
city of Santiago are evidence of the meth
DDS which might properly be employed in
the large cities of Cuba to effect the con-
quest over the disease which is as neces-
sary for Cuba's welfare as was the con-
quest over Spain Strict quarantine Is es-
tabiished. Police regulations are proclaim
ed to prevent free access to the city from
the fever stricken regions in the surround
Ing country. Saloons are closed. Vfolators
of the quarantine rules are to be arrested
and punished, whether Cubans or Ameri-
cans. System Is to take the place of the
disorder which formerly prevailed in time
or ep1demics. Santiago is in good shape
now to give these new conditions a fair
test 1t was cleaned during the winter
more thoroughly than ever before in its
history and the sanitary placing will prob
ably be comparatively easy now that the
Nth Accommodations of generations have
been removed. Thus far the fever has
been confined mainly to the outer regions,
but few cases have now appeared within
the limits, and hence the vigorous meas
ures OF the military governor to prevent
further inroads. Gen. Wood has already
demonstrated his entire fitness for such
an emergency. His medical knowledge.
coupled with his executive capacity. will
enable him to judge with greater accuracy
as TO the necessity of stringent measures
than is possible with the average NUM-
clpal military or civil executive. His past
performances in the management of San
uago's affairs show that he has a firm
hand and stern will when the test of
enforcement comes. Santiago is a motor
lous fever bed If through the exertions of
the american commander and his assist
ants II can be spared from severe scourge
TINS season 1t Will afford beneficial inspi-
ration to the commanders in other prov
lnces, who will find as time passes that the
hygienic problems confronting them are
FULLY as serious as are those of a social
or political or military nature

1t is gratifying to learn that the new
owners of the local street railway lines
recently consolidated under one manage
ment have decided to combine their prop
critics into harmonious whole by estab-
fishing a transfer system at junction points,
thus making 1t possible for passenger to
ride on those roads in a continuous route
for single fare within the District. Thus
does the beneficial side OF reasonable con-
soiidation reveal itself. This system should
be maintained even after the various SUBJ
urban roads are run into the center of the
city according to the proposed plans. 9th
erwise there would be no way, for instance.
for residents of the southern and eastern
sections of the city TO secure a one-fare
ride TO the District line OF either the Ten
leytowr or the Great Falls roads or for
residents of the southern, western and east
ern sections to secure a one-fare ride to
the District line on the Brightwood road
1t is to be assumed that when these cars
are run over the proposed loops they will
receive transfer passengers just as do the
other cars which occupy the tracks on
which they run, thus affording to the resi-
dents of all sections of the city the same
privilege accorded tc those who chance to
be near the extended line of these suburban
IoduS- Inc Qeclslon lust reached and soon
to be given effect may be accepted as evi-
dence that the new syndicate proposes to
afford the Washington people every posi-
Bile facility for app eciating the benefits of
consolidation, while the maintenance of
wel-equipped rival system will at the same
time demonstrate the benefits of competi-
ton In this way Washington should soon
be blessed with an ideal street railway
service, not only W to date in its mechan-
ical equipment. but SO planned as to give
a maximum of service to the people at
minimum of cost

The Alaskan boundary Deadlock

All efforts to bring about an understand
ing with England as to the Alaskan bound
airy line have proved futile The negotia-
TONS have apparently been suspended and
Canada gives no evidence of a disposition
TO act with more reasonable discretion to-
ward the home government Meanwhile
the need Of a provisional line is as acute
as ever American interests on the border
are endangered and there is serious pos-
sibility at all times of clash between the
citizens of the respective Jurisdictions 1t
Is of course to be expected that the two
governments will do all in their power to
prevent a collision, but the forces on the
ground small and the respective areas
OF ownership are vaguely defined. The
Canadian claims are inadmissible Eng
land has shown a clear disposition in the
case to be fair, coupled. however, with a
lamentable weakness respecting Canada,
which has been permitted to dictate the
imperial policy to the point of threatening
the new friendship which exists between
London and Washington. And the misfor-
tune is that in just the proportion that
England defers to Canada in this matter
Canada becomes more arrogant and stub
born Every yielding makes another yield
ing necessary. until it really appears as
though the Canadian tail had begun to
wag the British lion. 1t is now announced
that there will be no resumption of the
joint high commissions sessions on the
second of August, according to the plan
when the commission adjourned few
weeks ago. 1t is clear that unless an
agreement be reached on this all-important
matter Of a boundary it is useless to pro-
coed with the discussion of less conse-
quential affairs. for the spirit of harmony
and the disposition to compromise will
have been lost through the failure of the
governments to reach a working under
standing on the boundary dispute. This
regrettable result nullifies a years effort
TO secure better relationship with Can
ada Meanwhile it behOoves the govern
ment to carry out its intention to place
troops in the Lynn canal region in suffi-
Gent numbers to demonstrate it's purpose
to maintain peace and to preserve the
boundaries, such as they are, which al
ready stand recognized

Antarctic Expeditions.

fhere Is marked revival Of interest in
antarctic exploration just at present which
Is In some quarters attributed to the failure
OF the Nansen and the Andree efforts to
reach the north pole. Those endeayors
promised success in novel ways and each
mas thus far yielded nothing to the abso-
lutte knowledge OF the world concerning its
northern axis The southern polar regions
have been comparatively neglected by ex-
plorers until lately One reason for the
greater activity In north polar enterprise is
doubtless the peculiar formation of the land
OF the western hemisphere, which early
tempted seamen to seek a passage through

AruinaIdo. Atkinson & Co.

In his latest deliverance Aguinaldo dis
closes his desires and purposes with a
frankness which should not be lost on anti
expansion Americans. Stripped OF It's
oriental salutations and famboyancy. and
freely rendered into plain United States, the
address is this:
Friends and Fellow Citizens This is our
country We own it. and we intend to run
it, The Americans are here through trick
cry and fraud. We must expel them by
force We have but to perseyere and We
shall succeed in doing that. Vile as are
those now in power. there are others who
are our friends. Let US cultivate them
Let US trust a little to them. They will not
sbrsake u.s. Let us therefore keep our enc
mics between the two fires. Our well-shot-
ted guns in front, and the well-shotted
mouths of our American friends in the rear,
vorking ceaselessly and in unison, will do
the business. In my own name then, and
also in that of the brave Atkinson of Bos-
ton, U. S. A, 1 salute you. and bid you
press on
Aguinaldo wants no American protect
Tate He wants no American ships hover
ing near to keep off the meddlesome and
grasping foreigner from Europe or else
where. He wants the beloved daughter of
the ardent sun of the tropics, :" 1.-The delicate
flower of the east to go into business at
once on her own account. Nothing less will
satisfy him. No delays. No American as
sistance of any kind except from those ora
tors and writer's who are now crtticising
and opposing President Mckinley.
What say the anti-expansionists to this?
With all their admiration of the Tagal
Washington. they have assumed that, for a
period. he and his cronies would iced a
steadying hand. They have been calculat-
ing on remaining on the scene for awhile
and teaching 1.-The young idea how to
shoot" Their tone has been patronizing
Mr. Bryan has talked about an American
protectorate for the Philippines But Agui-
naldo wants nothing of the kind. In his
opinion, 1.-The delicate flower of the east"
needs neither help nor instruction about
running a government What he demands
OF the Americans is to clear out bag and
baggage, in short order. Would Mr. BRYAN,
II ne were in authority today, comply with
this, and call Otis and Watson home?

the ice-bound regions of extreme North
America to the Pacific. Naturally this ef-
fort led to polar expeditions, which at the
same time possessed a certain commercial
value In that they bore upon the old-tiIne
problem of a through waterway between
the oceans. The development of land trans
portation has of course diminished the de-
mand for this passage, while the perfec-
tion of the steamship and the prospect of
an fnteroceanic canal have decreased the
present and prospective value Of such
passage even IL it were found The north
poles appeal to the Imagination has thus
always been stimulated in a large meas
ure by the thought Of practical result
possibly flowing from its attainment Moth
ing practical can ever come from a similar
result at the other end of the axis. There
is no commercial or political tradition con-
nected with the south pole. The lands thus
far discovered in the antarctic region are
of no value whatever. The waters contain
no rare life. 1t may be that in time the
seal herds of the north will be so far de-
pleted as a result of foolish methods of
hunting that the south polar seals will at
tract daring expeditions, but the absence of
broad areas of land and the difficulty of
giving relief in case an expedition Is be-
leaguered create serious dangers without
compromising advantages A Belgian expe-
dition has just returned with a rich store
of meteorological data and some important
contributions to geographical knowledge.
Enough is known of this southern polar
area to show that it possesses all of the
main characteristics of the high northern
latftudes attained by man and to suggest
that if in the course of time the actual
axial point shall be reached the worlds
gain will be sentimental rather than prac-
teal.
