The prompt compliance of the sui
tan of Morocco with the demand of
Rear Admiral Howison for settlement
of claims by American citizens not
only prevented bombardmento of the
city, but showed that the American
rear admiral has those qualities which
have made our naval commanders re-
spected all over the world. Like Ad-
miral Dewey, Rear Admiral Howison
has served his time as commandant
of the Charlestown Navy Yard, and
the victories won by both are the
more creditable because to both op-
portunities were offered for some
grand historic blood-letting, and these
opportunities were declined.

In the Political Science Quarterly,
Professor John W. Burgess of CO.
lumbia College discusses American
rule in our new possessions, and ar
rives at substantially the following
conclusions: 1. We should be in no
haste to terminate the military gov
ernment in them, but take ample
time to determine the capacity of
their peoples for government.
2. We should allow these peoples
elf-government, if they show fair
capacity for it. 8. In case no such
political capacity should, after a
reasonable period, be manifested, we
should try territorial rule under the
limitations which the Constitution
imposes upon the government in be-
half of civil liberty. 4. In case Imi-
ted civil government should prove a
failure, we should so amend the Con-
stitution as to permit the national
government to exercise absolute, or
more absolute, civil authority in GER
tain parts of our domain"

One of the curiosities of Chinese
politics can be seen by reading be-
tween the lines of this dispatch from
Rome which appeared in the London
Daily Mail. ''The Italian government,
being in need of a swift cruiser for
service in the far east, has bought
from China the Hal Chi, vessel
built by Armstrong, Whitworth & Co.
and now undergoing her trial at Els
wick, Eng. AS soon as practicable
the vessel will be sent to China under
the command of Capt. Morens."
In other words, China sells to Italy,
which has demanded of it San Nun
bay, its 43OO-ton cruiser Hal Chi,
built to defend Chinese territory, and
it will sail as soon as practicable to
attack Chinese territory. The Hal
Chi is about the size OF the Baltimore
and Chicago, and has very strong
battery and very high speed, "a knots
being required by the contract.

Gen. Gomez has issued proclama-
ton announcing the formation of
junta of Cuban generals to advise him.
He says that he will consult the junta
on all details regarding the disband-
ment of the Cuban army, and also
concerning the question of retaining
the arms with which the Cubans
fought for liberty as sacred testimo-
ials of the struggle for independence,
and for the defence of the noble inter-
ests which have not been abandoned
because the army is to disband. He
adds that these interests now demand
the help of all Cubans, and that they
should seek to achieve their highest
aspiration, which is the establishment
of an independent democratic repub-
lie. The proclamation causes no sur
prise among those who know that
Gen. Gomez has never made any
declaration favorable to postpone
ment of the formation of Cuban re-
public or Indirectly favoring annexa
ton to United States. Reports that he
had done 80 were cabled to the Unit
ed States some time ago, but they
were absolute falsehoods. The junta
of Cuban generals met and agreed to
send commissioners to all the prov
inces to hasten the disbandment of the
army.

It has been decidedly the War De-
partment that the volunteers now in
the Philippines shall not be mustered
out as long as they are needed. This
refers to organizations; Gen. Otis has
discretion as to the mastering out of
individuals who have good reasons
for wishing to return home, and special
orders have been cabled him to send
all sick and wounded men home; also
to mark the caskets as well as the
graves of all dead soldiers, SO that
there will be no trouble about recog-
milton when it comes feasible to bring
the remains home. The decision to
keep the volunteers in service in the
Philippines, although in accordance
with the provision in the Army act of
of the last Congress, would probably
not have been made, if the men had
not, through General Otis, asked to
be allowed to remain in service as
long as there was fighting to do. This
decision makes it certain that the
thirty five thousand volunteers, au-
thorized by the Army act will not be
enlisted, unless something unexpect-
ed at this time shall make their SER
vices necessary.
