The BOer Reception.

The reception of the Boer delega-
tes by Secretary Hay was entirely
courteous and entirely correct. He
received them informally, with per-
mission to present official credent-
ials, which they did not avail them
selves. The almost simultaneous
vote in the, Senate, after Senator
DavlS's statement of the diplomatic
status of the delegates, indicates that
credentials giving more than consul
lar power would not have been rec
eived. The refusal of the Senate to
admit the delegates to the floor i'm
plies no more animuS against the
Boer republics than the refusal OF
the Secretary of state to repeat the
offer of good Offices to bring about
peace once declined by Great Brit
ain, though it was not possible to
give the collective act of body the
gracious courtesy and delicate cons

The two acts-and it was a fortuna.
te chance that brought them so near
together-declare beyond miscOn-
ceptiOn the attitude of every part Of
the government that has to do with
foreign affairs. As political COM
munity we recognize no diplomatic
relation with the Boer republics, ex-
cept through Great Britain. AS be-
lligerenis, we have made friendly
effers toward peace once, straining
both our traditional policy and the
duty sought to be imposed on
neutrals by The Hague conference
to do SO, and shall take no farther
step, except ON request of both
belllgerents.
This action was plain matter of
course and was expected by every
body that knows the common duties
and obligations between nations and
the unvarying traditions of our
government. The Beers we're treated
at Washington just as persons on
similar mission always have been
treated, in spite OF demonstrations Of
popular sympathy. These were
withheld in this case because all the
reasoning and responsible part Of the
public understands the situation and
is unwilling either to delude the
ENJOYS with false hopes or to embar
rass the government. They have ret
ceiyed no welcome or attentions not

Extraordinary

The Cuban scandal grows. The
Secretary of Wars official statement

total revenue Of $14, 1000, 900 over
$4, 900, GOO was disburSed,for salaries
and 1877, 900 more on the "labor
payroll"
This enormous disbursement Of
more than $5,377, 600 was entirely
for civilian employees and labOrers,
and dees not cover the pay of the
army officers in Cuba. And it is to
be remembered that our government
in Cuba has been in theory at least
a military government. A mass Of
items footing up total of nearly
100000 are charged as ''extraordi-
nary expenses ordered by the Militia.

Cuban Revenues
exceed expenditures,


Washington advices state that
the War Department to-day sent to
the Senate, in answer to a resolution,
an itemized statement OF the receipts
and expenditures of al. sorts in Cuba,
including salaries and allowances to
officers. since the United States Go
vernment assumed control of the
island.
The total receipts for 1899 were

a sum total for which vouchers had
been audited by the Auditor of Cuba.
His report is complete for the year
1899 for all civil departments, but
for other expenditures covers only
from July 1 to Dec. 81. The Au,
ditor has promised to supply the re-
port for the first half year of 1899 in
the near future.
Of the receipts $15,O12,1OO was
made up of customs receipts, $780,

cultural and public works, S64O,
to state and Government, $44S,07s

29O to post-ofice. The sum of $1,-
6SS, ,442 was spent on sanitation bet
ween July 1 and Dec. 81. In the
same time the rural guard cost $685..

$617, ,755, the customs service cost

The Triscornia Railway, connec.
ting the larbor of Havana acith the
interior railroad system OF Cuba,
cost $342,611, for which the United
States Government has been reim-
bursed from the island revenues.
The six miles of road were required
to pass the American troops around

with yellow fever, to the camps on

Mr.. Croker replies to
London attacks.

"The London Daily Express ha-
wing violently attacked Richard

The articles attacking me in the
London Express are inspired by the
owner of a New York newspaper

owns shares in the Express. His
attack is prompted by a two-fold
motive-first, undying malice for me;

journalistic exploiting. Having ins

less audience at Washington has
made clear their status as private

receive more sincere and spontaneous
expression of sympathy for them as
representatives of an unfortunate

and distressed. If they are wise they
will limit their mission to this hu.
name appeal hereafter. 1t is limited
that they declined to present their
credentials to leave themselves free
to work on public opinion, though
the vote in the Senate proves that
their credentials would not have
been received. If this means that
they will put themselves again into
hands Of cheap intriguerS againts the
administration for use in the CAM
paing, they will destroy at once their
usefulness to their cOuntrymen in
the supreme trial now approaching.
BY dropping politics, both African
and American, they may find noble
work as missionaries of humane
relief.
There is hope that they will rea-
lie this in the firmness and good
temper with which they received
Secretary Hays courteous repulse.
Either they expected nothing else
or they were enlightened by his
explanations. If they did expect any
other result they were alone in all
the world in the opinion. That is
made more clear by the reception of
the news than it was before. Neither
in America nor in Europe nor in
Africa itself, apparently, was there
the least expectation that our 60
vernment would act otherwise than
it did. Why all this trouble should
have been taken is a mystery that
would excite interest but for long
line of historical precedents. 1t is
one of the almost comic formalities
that habitually attend tragic events.
