Sensational News From Manila.

If one-half OF the stories now coming TO
this country from Manila are true, Air.
Mckinley VIII have to face the Ohio cleo
tion in November with a terrible scandal
on his back and probably worse one than
any preceding during his Administration.
These reports are not mere gossip, or the
work OF wicked press correspondents bent
upon making mischief for a great and
virtuous Chief Magistrate. They rest upon
the authority of high naval officers, and
appear TO corroborate the impression, which
has been widespread for weeks. that Ad-
miral Dewey left the Philippines because
he realized that an insurmountable polit-
ical influence was behind, encouraging and
sharing in the usufrnct Of system so cor
Tupt, outrageous, and even reasonable
that he could 10 longer stay and con-
template it. He viii be home now in a
few days, and Ii is believed that he will
endorse The statements recently made by
Mr.. Schurman to the President, in which
event ii may be predicted that there is
trouble IN store for Otis and DENLY, in
whose cases the least thing likely to hap
pen would be a whitewashing commission
Mr.. Mckinley has been repeatedly warned
OF the condition OF affairs in Manila On
many occasions The Times has admonished
him that on no theory Of efficient or faith
ful service could the conduct of the mill
tary operations in Luzon from the Gov
ernor-GeneraI's palace. or the peculiar fis-
cal methods Of the insuiar administration
be accounted for. He viii now perhaps feel
compelled to act, when action may come
too late to save his party from disaster at
the State elections this year.
II is extremely ominous that the most
scandalous tales concerning misgovern-
ment or worse at Manila are appearing in
leading Administration organs. II reliable

which the young man with a small but
certain income is held UP to notice as a
poor" man, and nobody can afford to
marry without at least a thousand pounds
year on which to live. Incomes which
exist without work attached to them are
rare indeed In this country, and the young
man who. half unconsciously, goes looking
for anything of the sort deserves most of
the iIl-luck he will probably encounter.
The worst thing in the world for the aver
age man is TO obtain a position which is
sineoure, by aid OF the pull" of some
relative or friend. He becomes from that
time parasite, incapable of enterprise and
initiative unless he is suddenly jostled out
of his accustomed groove Then he may
show whatever manhood is in him.
We have all encountered people who de-
elared, sometimes with tears in their eyes,
that they were ready to do anything" to
earn their living, but when matters were
1 investigated it generally turned out that
the anything did not mean waiting on
table at a hotel, or being conductor on a
street car, or working on a farm or in
somebody's kitchen, or any sort of labor
which meant long hours and soiled hands.
There are q great many women who are
ready to accept" a position in an office,
but not willing to put their whole minds
TO the task of keeping books accurately
and faithfully, treating customers with
courtesy and consideration, or racing with
time when it is necessary to write a
large number OF letters to 90 to the post
office at a certain hour. There are many
young men who consider themselves poor
and ill-used because their salaries will not
allow them TO smoke expensive cigars,
or wear ultra-fashionable garb, or live
at the best hotel, instead of at a second
rate boarding house. There are great
many things which are disagreeable in the
lot OF q Door person with refined and ex-
pensive tastes, but some of these things
may be overcome by little ingenuity,
and real refinement and strength OF char
acter viii enable one to take annoyances
philosophically and even with amused in
terest. II would be a very good thing if
about nine-tenths of the educated people
who are now looking for positions" were
made TO serve an apprenticeship of two
or three years at real, genuine hard. man
ual labor. such as they are perfectly will
ing others should do for them. After that
experience they would not be inclined to
grumble over an extra half-hour of work
in an Office.

Treatment of Criminals.
fFrom the Hartford courant.,

The conference which opens in this city this
evening is one Of national Importance, The
criminal class has become noteworthy element
in our civilization--sinal in number, but requir-
ing more attention than any other equal number
of people in the community. The earnest men
who meet here are the representatives Of those
people who are endeavoring 10 treat the criminal
in the intelligent way that shah reduce crime
and reform offenders and save men for society
and society from the attacks it is now con-
stantly subject 10. As a matter of fact, we are
all now in constant state of siege always COM
pelled TO be on guard and TO protect our
selves As a rule, too, the public generally care
little about the matter. They used to it,
and take their chances indifferent TO the criminal
himself or the conditions that develop him. The
subject has a vital interest for everybody and
those who attend these meetings will be surely
much interested. It is event OF importance
for Hartford 10 have the gathering here aud
the papers and debates wiil be suggestive and in

The Condemnation of Montojo.
(From the Philadelphia Inquirer.l

(from the Philadelphia lnquirer)
The condemnation Of Admiral Montojo for the
crushing defeat which he sustained in Manila
Bay must be stigmatized as fagrantly unjust
The admiral did the best he could with the re-
sources at his command. 1t was not his fault
that his feet was destroyed. After Admiral
Dewey's squadron had been permitted to enter
the harbor that result which it was
not in the power of Admiral Montoio to prevent
He did all he could, and fought with a con-
spicuous personal gallantry which should have
saved him from the censure and the punishment
which have been visited upon him. What fault
there was, other than the total incapacity of the
Madrid administration, which in the Pacific, as
in the Atlantic, utterly failed to rise to the
emergency, lay with the supine commander of the
forts, who allowed the American feet to slip
by him in the darkness.
But perhaps he, too, could furnish explana-
ton OF his conduct, which would show that here,
too, the blame properly lay with blind Govern
rnent at home

cRITIcIsEs GARcIA,s VIEWS.
Mr.. Darbyshire's Comments Respect
ing the Generals Statement.

Hr. Darbyshire's Comments Respect
ing the Generals Statement.
Gen. Carlos Garcia recently, In an in
terview in The Times, expressed his views
of the report of Special Commissioner
Porter as to the sentiments of Cubans re-
specting the question of annexation.
Leonard Darbyshire, Secretary to the Spe-
cial Commissioner for the United States
to Cuba and Porto Rico, says of this opin-
ion of General Garcia:
My attention was called to an interview
in The Times with Gen. Carlos Garcia,
who stated that the report of Special
Commissioner Porter, purporting to give
the sentiments of Cubans ON the question
of annexation, is calculated to mislead
and deceive the public in the United
States Gen. Carlos Garcia further states
that Mr.. Porter has not met or talked
with leading Cubans, or he would not
have given to the public the opinions of
such a man as the Marquis de Apezteguia,
who is a Spaniard,' etc. General Garcia
then goes on to state that the MARQUEE de
Apezteguia took special delight in up
| holding Weyler's fiendish methods
General Garcia to the contrary, I beg
| leave to say, that the Marquis de Apez-
teguia is not a Spaniard. He is a Cuban.
1t is true that in politics he has been a
IneInDeT Oh tDe spanish CONSERVATIVE party.
The fact, however. that the marquis being
a Cuban and being elected president of
the Conservative party shows his talent
and Importance. 1t is not true that the
Marquis de Apezteguia approved of Wey-
Ter and his proceedings. On the contrary.
he was against the butcher and he even
went so far as to go personally to Madrid
TO endeayor to induce the Spanish Gov
ernment to relieve Weyler from his posi-
ton in Cuba.
THE Marquis de Apezteguia is man Of
great knowledge and talent, and one of
the most important sugar planters in the
island of Cuba. The Central Constancia
at Cienfuegos has been considered the first
in the island, and was created by Apez-
teyma himself.
General Garcia, in the interview re-
ferred to, says he never heard of such a
man as Adolfo MunoZ,' whom Mr.. Porter
quotes in his report. This is no great
cause for amazement. as Gen. Carlos Gar
cia has resided very little in Cuba He
has spent the greater part of his life in
Spain, where he was in the employ OF the
Spanish Government.

Chairman Dick. of the Ohio Republican State
Commi ttee does not hesitate to say that the
Ohio situation is one that will require his con.

AN HEIREss RUNS AWAY.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Somewhere in
is wandering looking for chance to earn
her own living. while an old millionaire
and his wife, who adopted her fifteen years
ago, are hunting frantically for her. And
her brother, an honest gripman on the
Lexington Avenue line, with modest
home. is searching for her also. Theresa
GulIfoil is the girl. she is the daughter
was broken up fifteen years ago by the
death Of the mother. Theresa was three
years old then. Her father had four more
girls and three boys-more than he could
care for-and he advertised for some one
who would adopt little ''Tessie.
DR.. E. A. Gillett, of Turner's, n. Y,
who is now an old man, said to be worth
a million dollars, called with his wife.
They made her their daughter. From a
humble cottage she went TO palace and
was brought up like princess. One by
one the sons and daughters of the old
doctor married. and only ''Tessie remain
ed. She was his favorite and his heiress
She received a splendid education. The
doctor, proud of her accomplishments, said
he would send her to Vassar College to
study, so that she might become a lawyer
or doctor. 'fTessie' demurred. She did
not wish to go to Vassar Il want to go
out and earn my living right away, she
said The doctor would not listen to
her. On Tuesday last Tessie," hnding
that she would have to go to Vassar, ran
away. Her adopted father thinks she came
to New York, perhaps to seek place as
waitress or seamstress
She did not know where her family lived
and it is not sure that she was aware of
their existence. They had not seen her
since she was adopted DR.. Gillett even
did not know where they were and found
them only after difficulty. He was heart
broken over the girls disappearance and
said he would make almost any terms
with her if she would only come back.

senntor Mnson.
From the Kansas City Star.)

(trom the Kansas C1ty Star.)
Senator Mason of Illinois is reported as say
ing that he will continue his opposition to the
war upon the Fiipinos and. furthermore, that
he is ashamed Of his countFH 1t is, indeed, sor-
rowful TO see United Stdtes Senator ashamed
of the United States and the spectacle is de-
pressing to all good Americans. Yet, if Senator
Mason will take time to reflect, he will under
stand that the reason the United States IS at
war with the Filipncs-or one tribe OF them
the Tagals-is because the Tagals are at war with
the United States. They are in arms and are
firing on our soldiers, and have a number of
prisoners in their possession and are committing
all the acts OF hostility of which they are capable
There is doubt that if the Tagals would cease
their opposition the forces of the United States
would discontinue warlike operations. 1t is
hardly within the limits OF probability however
that the army of the United States will pre-
cipitately retire, even as far as Manila, with
the Tagas following at its heels Why should
not Senator Mason use his undoubtedly extensive
influence with the Tagals 10 induce them to con-
sent to a cessation OF hostihties, an aInistiee
something of the kind2 Thus the honor of
the United States might be preserved intact and
possibly in the OF time Senator Mason
would be relieved Of the contempt he feels for his
country

GUARDING AGAINST SMALLPOX
Measures Taken to Prevent Its In
PRODUCTION From Mexico.

Extraordinary precautions are being
taken to prevent the spread of smallpox
from Mexico to the United States. Lea
Hume, the acting assistant surgeon OF the
Marine Hospital Service, stationed at Ea-
gle Pass, Tex. on the frontier, reports that
the detention camp at that place has lately
been taxed to the utmost. Every railway
station in Mexico is plaearded TO the effect
that no one will be allowed entry at the
frontier unless bearing a certificate from
an officer of the Marine Hospital Service in
Mexico. or some consul, deputy consul. or
consular agent in that country. A report
from one of the United States sanitary
guards at Presidio says that the smallpox
situation in Mexico is assuming a more
serious aspect, and the Mexicans are try
ing very hard to get to this side of the Rio
Grande In some localities the epidemic is
so terrible that considerable numbers of the
population have fled and are trying to get
out of the country.

The Maryland Campaign.

Perhaps 1t is wrong, but we cannot feel
altogether disheartened because all the
family quarrels are not in the Democratic
party Just by way of variety, it is rather
pleasant than otherwise TO contemplate
the Republican situation in Maryland,
where the only Wellington is to be eyicted
from the State committee today, and pre-
diets the sweeping defeat of Lowndes in
November-a result to which he declares
he viii cheerfully contribute.
Of course every little helps, but, IL there
were not other causes in active operation
it is not highly probable that Wellington S
detection would cost the candidate or the
organization to exceed just one lonesome
vote. 1t happens, however, that there is
great dissatisfaction in the household
quite irrespective of any trouble between
the Senator and the members of the COM
mittee The manner in which the Navy
Department ring has prosecuted Rear Ad-
miral Schley has given mortal affront TO
the people of the State, and if nothing else
existed to make them inimical to the Re
publican Administration this alone would
do the business at she polls a few weeks
hence.

Mr.. McKinley's political map! The situa-
ton in Ohio is unsatisfactory, and will be-
