Spanking San DOMINGO.

Some timid guardians of our national
traditions ard welfare have been a little
worried of late for fear that the United
States was about to get into a tangle
with the little republic of San Domingo.
Some of the most active enemies of the
administration have declared that the
recent incident there, i'm which one of
our navel vessels was involved. was
merely the beginning of an imperialistc
grab by which we were going to annex
more possessions. Such people should
be treasured by the report sent to
Washington by Captain Wainwright, of
the cruiser Newark. This officer, it will
be remembered, was in command of the
Gloucester in the battle of Santiago
and showed himself a hero worthy of
the best traditions of the American
navy. He reports that when the in
surgents fired upon the American
merchant vessel in the harbor of San
Domingo he took Il battalion of
east bank of the river whence the fir
ing had come. He first shelled the
bank as Il means of warning to the in
surgents in the vicinity and then
discmbarked his forces. About a half
mile from tins shore he found an insur-
gent force whose commander was quite
eager to sign one agreement not to fire
upon the town again from that side.
and another one to take his army
into the interior Capt. Wainwright
then reembarkcd his battalion. leaving
ten men to guard the spoils of battle in
the shape of few damaged boats.
In the city of San Domingo Il force
OF twenty marines and a company OF
blueJackets were landed and marched
through the streets as a sign of Amer
lean purpose to protect the lives and
property of American ,citizens. This
was sufficient to put an end to what
ever disposition there had been on
either the government or the insur-
gent side to get gay" with American
persons or property, and to secure
pledges from both sides that they
would "be good in that respect here

New Mexico will be predominant in the

But it is Il case of coming in together

Senator Hoar of Massachusetts
declares that the late Senator Hanna
was the best debater in the Senate.
This is very high praise from a man
who is an acknowledged authority on
in this line lay in the fact that he never
tried to put on any OratOrical frills, but
always talked in plain, straight
forward and business-like fashion, and
never addressed the Senate unless he
