was naturally construed by the rebels as
proof of American cowardice. 1t embold-
ened them to make a strike for what they
thought was independence, but which, IL
achieved, would be found to be the rule OF
an adveDturer. They constructed fortifca-
tions in full sight and hearing of the
American lines; they were insolent and
aggressive, and the refusal OF the Ameri-
can soldiers TO resent their insults added
TO their courage and confidence. 1t was
not until the Senate ratified the Treaty and
the rebels, simultaneously, attacked our
forces, that he permitted gun to be
fired.
Now American ships filled with our SOL
diers encircle the globe on their way to
Manila, where they will deal final blow
TO the barbarians who have sought to ef-
feet their purpose by massacre and incen-
diarism. Then, if not sooner released, the
Spanish prisoners will be freed But for
the delay of the Senate this would have
been effected long ago. Indeed, there
would probably have been no formidable
resistance to American rule. Perhaps
Spain is not TO blame for refusing to await
the slow moving of our arms, but it is
humiliating that we should have been
placed in such situation by the Senate
minority.

Newport News still Suffering From

Newport News. Va. March 4.-The bliz-

vailed on the Atlantic Coast early in the

Newport News for the month of February

OF all articles shipped from here TO for

Spanish Testimony.

In some cases the testimony of an enc
my is the best which can possibly be had
and in some cases it is not. When a
Spanish commission declared last year
that the destruction of the Maine was
caused by internal explosion, this country
rightly considered that statement as of
no consequence. When man is accused
of murder one does not take his word for
it that the victim committed suicide, un-
less he can bring some strong evidence to
prove the theory.
But there is one event In the history Of
the late war upon which Spanish testi-
mony is particularly valuable, and that is

rife fusilade along the entire Filipino

fire with such vigor that the Filipino
fire was checked until the arrival OF
