The invitation from England to the
United States to join In the lnvestl-
CATION OF the atrocities alleged to
have been committed in the kongo
Free State was promptly and properly
declined by Secretary Hay. The ai-
fairs OF the mlscalled Free State are
wholly under the direction OF that ven
cradle sybarite, Leopold OF Belgium,
and placed In that condition by the
powers OF continental Europe at the
direct suggestion Of the British gov
ernment That atrocities have been
committed appears to be undoubted
but nothing less could have been ex'
pected when Leopold OF Belgium was
given uncontrolled charge of the un'
happy natives. SO gross were the
ontrages that England was compelled
10 go over the head OF her protege OF
Belgium. and a commission of distin'
guished British civilians and army Of
ticers was appointed and sent to Al
rica.

The recent alignment of the state
central committee revealed some no
ticeable changes. For instance, A. NJ.
Stevenson OF Denver and |. n. Ste
vens of the Pueblo Chleftain, who
have been pulling Wide apart for many
years. were working hand in hand
Tuesday Tor the election of w. 5.
Boynton. while A. Il, Bent of Prowers,
a strong Wolcott follower in the past,
and who was elected vice-chairman OF
the committee by the Wolcott fol.
lowers, was hand-in-hand with the
Farley people. In this change OF
base the Herald gives each side credit
for honesty OF purpose. There are
many who Immediately cry fraud and
corruption because men change, when
they do so because of the way they
view conditions and for the best in
terests OF the party, The Herald
trusts that the fighting going on In
the central committee the past two
years is now at an end. and that all
Republicans will be found working to
gether for. the best interests Of the
party.

AMERICANS HONOR cERVERA.
Denominations of Gratitude &
Spanish Admiral mt Medina.

MEDINA-SIDONIA, Spain. July IL.
AS demonstration of gratitude re-
garding his conduct at Santiago and his
care of American sailors. Admiral Ger
vera was presented here with an en-
crossed message bearing the signatures
of a number OF well known Americans,
besides letters from the subscribers,
bound In a volume. The presentation
was made by Mr. Bird of Vienna in
behalf of his fellow Americans.
The admiral in returning thanks for
this manifestation Of American good
will said that his conduct toward Lieu
tenant Hobson and the American sail
ors after the sinking of the Merrimac
had been inspired by superior orders.
Admiral Cervera had repeatedly re-
fused to permit his American admirers
TO so honor him, but Notwithstanding
these refusals the plan to make the
presentation was carried out
