HOPE TO INVADE ENGLAND.
The French Expect Some Day to Land
a ConquerinE Army on
British Soil.

Since Napoleon's day the idea of in
vading England has never left the
French mind. Weary of war and arma-
ments, exhausted by the terrific strug-
gle in which she had so nearly sue
cumbed, England forgot her navy and
turned to the arts of peace. A like
lassltude had seized the continent after
n generation of bloodshed, so that at
first this neglect brought no evil re-
suit except general lowering of the
national tone and spirit. Cobden's de-
lightful idea. that 1.-The French, being
the most domesticated and affectionate
people on the face of the earth,'' would
never dream of war was given trial.
We who have seen the downfall of Cob
den's foreign policy and the complete
discontinue of his economic prophecies
know that he was faddist wandering
in Utopia. But the instructive fact that
the Golden policy was tried remains.
What, then, was the attitude of the
lamblike, demonstrated" "affection-
ate" French nation? From the Access
sion of Louis Philippe in 1880 dates the
beginning of what has been, no doubt,
ironically described as the entente cor
dale between England and France, but
what might with more accuracy be de-
scribed as period of secret hostility on
Frances part and blind friendliness al
ternating with frenzied alarm on Eng
lands.
Talleyrand came to England with the
full intention of maintaining close al
lance with England, and returned to
France proclaiming that the English
were arrogant and detestable, and that
friendship between the two powers was
impossible. Theirs in 1910 attempted
to get hold of Egypt; secret informa-
ton was given the British government
of plot to burn our ships in the dock
yards, and next day two ships at Devon
port took fire; the French admiral in
the East Indies, Lelande, was in favor
of attacking our feet without dec
laration of war, and it was certain that
he could have destroyed it. A squadron
was assembled at Toulon to seize the
Balearics, but Louis Philippe had not
the requisite courage, and Theirs fell
and was replaced by Guizot. In 1912
came the Tahiti affair, when France
openly threatened war and England did
not venture to insist upon full satisfac-
ton.
All through 1912 and 1s43 war be-
tween France and England-these two
cordial friends-seemed imminent.
Even the quietest and most peaceful
among us are beginning to look for
ward to war with France as an event
which NO prudence on our part can
long prevent" wrote Palmerston in Au-
gust, 1874. In 1916 came the breach of
faith on Louis Philippe's part in the
matter of the Spanish marriages, and
profound uneasiness throughout this
country. The duke of Wellington in
1847 startled England by his letters,
pointing out, in the then decrepit state
of the fleet, the extreme danger of in
vasion by the French.-National Re

August 10, 1898, Will Bver Be Memorable
Day in American History.

m UGUsT. 10, 1898, will ever be a
IN memorable day in the history of
the United States. Then it was
that the American fleet under the gal
liant Admiral Dewey, and American:
soldiers under the leadership of Maj.
Gen. Merritt, wrested from the hands
OF Spain the colonial city Of Manila, and
took from proud and arrogant nation
for all time to come its greatest colo
NAL possessions. Il E
Never before had American soldiers
fought for the principles u liberty so
far from home as at this time, but
never did they fight with greater valor.
Much as America glories in the achieve
ments of her martial sons, she is tar
too great q nation to be uncharitable,
and to-day the nation that year ago
gloried in the success of her soldiers
so far from home willingly accords to
the rank and file of the vanquished
the honor of a brave resistance. \
It was on August that Admiral
Dewey and Gen. Merritt sent joint

ports to the marine hospital service
from the soldiers home at Hampton
show that the yellow fever situation
there continues favorable. Surgeon
White reports to DR.. Wyman that there
is nothing suspicious in the town OF
Hampton. There were no new cases
and only two deaths at the home Fri
day, according to report DR.. Vickery,
the surgeon at the institution, sent to
the surgeon general. DR.. Vickery ex-
pressed the opinion that the immune
help on their way there should be suf-
ficient, as the epidemic seems to be
checked.

GERS and general crowd from the
streets stood around, and as he drew
near to the flagstaff he was Kissed by
the onlookers. When the orange and
red banner was actually replaced by
the American emblem many in the
crowd were crying. The symbol of
Spanish sovereignty, of Spanish bru-
tality, had disappeared forever. As
Old Glory was run up to the tap of the
tall flagstaff company of infantry
presented arms and a regimental band
played THE Star Spangled Banner"
Before nj ght the Spanish stntinels
had been replaced by American SOL
diers; guards were placed at all e4,e city
gates, and the armed rebels Wire not
permitted to enter the city in fear that
they might commit depredations
against the Spaniards. The American
troops took up their quarters in the
public buildings, on porches and even
in the streets. They had marched and
fought through terrible rain and in
a tropical heat, and were tired out.
That evening the servants OF Capt.
Gen. August, who but short time be-
fore had issued proclamation bid
ding defiance to the Americans, served
dinner to Gen. Merritt, the other gen.
eral officers Of the American army and
their staffs, in the town hall, and here
were stacked for time the captured
arms, ammunition and accoutrements
of war.
Gen. Merritt at once took charge of
the government Of the city, assigning
Gen. Anderson to command of the dis
trict of CaVite, Gen. Macarthur to COM
1nand Of the walled city of Manila and
Gen. Greene to take charge of the city's
finances in the capacity Of treasurer
general.
Before the short battle had ended
Capt. Gen. August boarded the Ger
man cruiser Kaiser Augusta, lying in
the harbor at the time, and started i'm
mediately for Hong-Kong, leaving an
assistant to turn over the city to the
Americans. In his own eyes his hoaor
was vindicated by escaping the morti-
tication Of surrendering to what he
termed an unworthy foeman.
The important conditions embodied
in the terms Of capitulation were as fol-
lows:
Surrender of the Philippine archi-
pelago; officers to be allowed to retain
their side arms and personal effects,
but, not their horses. officers tn he
prisoners of war on parole; the troops
to be prisoners of war and deposit their
arms at a place appointed by Gen. Mer-
rift; all necessary supplies for their
maintenance to be provided from the
public treasury funds, and after they
are exhausted by the United States; all
public property to be surrendered; the
disposal of the troops to be negotiated
later on by the United States and Span
ish governments; arms to be returned
to the troops at Gen. Merritt's discre-
ton. @##
During the fighting Of the day five
Americans were killed and 43 wounded.
The Spanish loss was never accurately
shown, but an English authority, who
lived in Manila and had the best of
facilities for ascertaining the correct
figures, reports that there We're very
