lntimely Fnctionalism IN.

Il is pity that the good nature and en-
thusiasm of the Dewey welcome should be
tinctured with the bitterness of naval FAC
tionalism. 1t was hoped that when the man
whose victory had led to no jealousy what
ever reached his home shores all the petty
strife and back-biting between the friends
of Admirals Sampson and Schiey would be
submerged in the universal applause Tor
Dewey. But with a pertinacity worthy of a
far better cause the rancor generated more
than a year ago Is still maintained ana
displayed. The arrival of Admiral Howison
on the Chicago at New York, superseding
Sampson the ranking naval officer. and
the lowering of both their flags in recogni-
ton of Dewey's superior rank afford texts
for reviews of the old controversy which
originated in the peculiar circumstances of
the naval battle of Santiago. 1t is not to
be believed that either of the two central
figures in this disgraceful squabble is re-
sponsible for 1.-THE, if any, of the Stiffness
and bitterness which have been uttered.
Each man has maintained dignified atti-
tude COMFORTING with his position as an
officer of the navy. But whether inspired
or individual, the outbursts of the factions
have had harmful effect. 1t is relief
to realize that Admiral Dewey's partisans
comprise the whole people. and that there
are no divisions among them as to his
true worth and the value of his achieve
ments. Some there be. to be sure who
think he should have sailed away after
puncturing the hull of the last survivor of
the Spanish fleet. But even these ascribe
to him no unworthy motives. and there is
no suggestion of honor gra bling or in
trigue. 1t would be a triumph of the new

agreement among the partisans of both to

Activity In LuzOn.

Clearly the field operations in LuZon will
not be delayed until the absolute settle
ment of the season, which occurs some time
in November. The news now comes of an
advance by four regiments and battery
on the town of Porac, where ii seems the
insurgents are established in some force.
This is north of Manila. and about eight
miles northeast of Bacolor where the
Americans have secured an easy foothold.
AS yet no results from the movement.
which seems to be quite elaborate, have
been reported. The old plan Of thanking
the enemy is being tried. and as the opera
ton is on a relatively small scale, it may
result satisfactorily. 1t would give the
campaign suspicious opening for the
American commanders to defeat a compact
body of the insurgents thus early ir the
season. aside from the advantage of keep
ing the rebels on the move and preventing
them from securing bases of supplies and
running their ammunition plant close to
the scene of operations. Meanwhile nego-
tiations are progressing toward a confer
ence between Gen. Otis and a representa-
tive of the insurgents, doubtless with refer
ence to the American prisoners now held
by the rebels.

Shall learn anything further about
Admiral Dewey for President? Has he not
removed himself entirely from the equa-
ton? Not by his easy. saior-like fashion
of discussing the subject. but by his refer
ence to Aguinaldo. Has he not committed
the objectionable sin in the eyes of the
Aguinaldo Aid Society? VIII the members
of that organization take any further stock
in the man who has described their hero
in terms of contempt?
"A smart little fellow, but a figurehead"
Those were the stinging words. The Tagal
Washington no more than that? Think of
the effect of the sentence on Mr.. Atkin-
son. Think how greatly Mr.. Hoar will be
shocked! 1t was Mr.. Hoar who saw. or
imagined that he saw, in one of Aguinal-
dos proclamations a performance Of which
not ten men on the globe were capable.
What will Mr.. Mason say? He has been
worshiping at that shrine as though he
considered Aguinaldo big enough to come
to the Senate from the state of Illinois
And Mr. Hale, Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Edmunds,
we all know, will form some very pro-
nounced opinions.
The admiral invites still further dspleas-
ure by describing the influences that are
behind Aguinaldo. Hepoints out for whom
the 'figurehead" stands. Some still smarter
felIoWS-laWyerS pr1nclpally-dre pulling INC
strings. and of course are writing the proc
lamations and putting up the money. The
whole affair, instead of being righteous
struggle for liberty against American des-
potism. is an Investment on a business
basis. A lot of smart fellows, without con-
sultation with authority from the people
of the islands, have raised the standard OF
revolt against American authority, and
ApIIinaIdo is their representative.
This won't do. George Washington was
not a hired man. He was not a mere ns-
urehead Even Prof. Goodwin Smith. while
denying him a place among great soldiers,
allows him individuality, high character
and freedom from seltishness OF cupldity
He was very much more than "a smart
little fellow" So that in knocking the
spots out Of the likeness which the anti
expansionists have traced between Wash
ington and Agunaldo Admiral Dewey has
made il impossible for the Agunaldians
to crown him with a presidential nominal
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-09-28

Admiral Dewey's return has started lot
OF speculation and argument about the
relative fitness OF the Filipinos and the
Cubans for selfgovernment. The admiral
has been quoted comparing these peo-
pies. to the advantage of the Filipinos,
while expressing the opinion that the Fill
plnos are not fitted for independence. The
anti-imperialists proceed to construe this
sentiment as meaning that the admiral
really favors policy of withdrawal from
the arChipe ago, in justice to a people who
are more ready for undertaking their own
administration than are those whom this
government has formally assured OF abso-
lutte independence.
As The Star has more than one oc-
casion in the past pointed out. there are
few points of resemblance between the
cases of Cuba and the Philippines As to
this matter of relative fitness for independ-
ence there is no substantial basis for a
comparison. Conditions have differed in
the two Spanish colonies aside from IT,.
general resemblance of the disagreement
In each. The Cubans had many emporium
tiles 10 improve themselves which the Fill
piros lacked. owing to the nearness of
Cuba to the United States Here were IN
b. found the educational facilities which
were lacking in the Island. Here was a
great school Of free thought which Spanish
rule had excluded from Cuba. 1t was the
most natural thing in the world that the
Cubans should learn from US the ways
which lead to independence.
A few OF the Fiiipinos reached the same
plane of protest against Spanish rule, but
the great body of the people have not been
lifted from their original state of absolute
or emi-barbarism. Whatever may be the
superior racial characteristics of the Ia
gals and the other Filipino tribes the fact
remains that the body of the people does
not today stand as high in the scale
Of civilization as do the aggregate of the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-09-28

Cubans The relative standing of the two
groups decades hence, each progressing
without restraint from the Spanish rule,
may be far different in favor of the Fill
piEcs. That seems to be the real meaning
OF the estimate given by Admiral Dewey
that the Fiipinos are more capable of self
government than the Cubans.
But even supposing that this estimate re-
lates exclusively to the future, 1t is still
only comparative proposition. Admiral
Dewey and other observers say that the
Filipinos are not now capable of conduct
ing their own affairs progressively. The
fact. then. that the United States has for
mally pledged itself to supervise the es-
tablishment of absolute independence in
Cuba does not justify any demand that an
equal privilege be accorded the Filipinos
The two cases must be considered separate
ly. The Filipinos are now officially under
American sovereignty as a result of one
incident in the war with SPAIN which was
waged primarily for the purpose Of freeing
Cuba. Our declaration concerning the in
dependence Of the Cubans did not oblige us
blindly to extend unlimited self-government
to any people who might incidentally be
rescued from Spanish dominion, without
reference to their fitness
If 1t were demonstrated that the United
States made mistake when 1t reached the
conclusion that the Cubans were ready for
Independence 1t would not follow that the
United States was unwarranted in inter-
vening between Spain and her help
less suffering colony. Spain had proved
her own inability to manage the Is
land upon a humane, civilized basis,
and the continued presence of her misera-
BILE rule so close at hand was at the least
menace to this country's peace and pros
perity and its removal was required as
domestic precaution.
To prove that we made a mistake with
regard to the capacity of the Cubans and
that the Filtpinos. although superior to the
Cubans. are yet incapable Of self-govern-
ment. does not justify us by any stretch of
logic in making a second mistake and so
doubling the unfortunate results of the first
alleged blunder.

homecoming of Admiral Dewey in itself
gives point to the invitation to contribute
and the shortness Of the time to SUBJ
scribe" is brought close home to every pos
sible giver. But even more potent Is the
fact that Admiral Dewey is willing to ac-
cept this gift of a grateful people. which
Is now announced as established beyond
peradventure. When the project was in
augurated some of Admiral Deweys
friends, doubtless acting with the best of
motives, fostered the impression that he
would not accept the house. This belief
spread and acted as wet blanket on the
scheme, so that the total of the fund hung
for a long time below ten thousand dollars.
But the committee of public officials in
charge wisely kept at work, having conf
dence In the people and faith in the adj
miral's appreciation Of the gift and the
spirit in which 1t was rendered. The fruits
of their steadfastness of purpose are now
apparent. 1t may be that in consequence
of this slow growth Of the fund up to with
in the past few days the gift will have a
character far more pleasing to the admiral
than would perhaps have been possible I'M
der different circumstances. Until the re-
cent boom in the fund the average of the
contributions was very small, less than one
dollar. Over thirty thousand persons had
subscribed to give about $27, 600. The fund
was thus In every sense a token of popular
interest In the admiral. It was the work of
thirty thousand American citizens, and
thus meant much more from a patriotic
point Of view than though it came from a
fraction of that number. Just now the
average Of individual givings is much
larger. but there is no disposition in any
quarter to use the project for purposes of
advertising or ostentation. The large per-
sonal contributions are in proportion. The
popular, patriotic spirit Of the enterprise Is
preserved, and when the residence resulting
from the efforts of the committee In charge
is transferred to Admiral Dewey it will be
in the best sense representative of all the
people, whatever It's size or cost
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-09-28

Every indication now points to a complete
success for the project of purchasing a
home for Admiral Dewey in the name of
the nation. The daily reports from the
fund are increasingly encouraging. The
aggregate mounts now by thousands in
stead of scores of dollars. as was the
case in the early stages. 1t is assured
that the fifty Thousand mark will easily be
passed before Saturday night and the fund
sent well along toward the hundred thou

well, so do L. The oak furnishes the

No populist to sound the drum


From The New York Times.
1t is somewhat notable that the enlist
ments for the newest regiments to be sent
to the Philippines are most rapid in Mis-
souri, and Massachusetts,. The election of
a democrat to succeed Mr.. Bland in the
Eighth district has been attributed to the
prevalence in that state of feeling of
sympathy stronger for Aguinaldo than the
President. yet the 300 men needed for
the 3Sth Regiment have almost entirely vol
unteered The 45th, with headquarters at
South birmingham, Mass, has upward of
1000 men, and will have its full number
before October 1. This suggests an ignor-
ance of or Indifference to anti-expansiop
agtators.
