rnanlfcstation of this.
It Is reasonably thought that peace
will uher In an era of prosperity for the
United States. It ia easy to take an
exaggerated view of the pusIbhIit1e.
but .soine things can be counted upon
with a good decree of certainty. The

undoubtedly the talted States wiLl have
a consIderable trade there when it shall

Is to be CXICCtCI that American coin-
merce with the far east will be largely
Increased , whi'ther we hold the Philippines -
pines permanently or not. The prestige
which the United States has gained In
that quarter of the world cannot fail u
operate favorably upon American corn-
merce there.
Iloss- eager American capital and en-
terpr1e are to seize the opportunitIes

that proposals for the organization of national -
tional ban1s In Honolulu , Porto Itlco ,
Manila and even Havana have been
submitted to the comptroller of the currency -
rency , while merchants are ready to
ship goods to Santiago as soon as the
government ofllclally raises the blockade
and will grant Tesrols proper clearance
papers for that port. These are the indications -
dications of what will take place mime-
diately upon the rstoratlou of peace.
American capItal and American

The Instructions given General Sliat-
( or by the president In regard to .mv-
ernitig the territory in Cuba occupled by
the military forces of the tnitd States
show what time lohlci of time government
will be as to all territory taken from
SIaIa. There Is to be no Ititerferoime ,
except as military necessity shall re-
I tuire , with time laws In force before the
surrender. All the mnethtis of govern-
i Imlent in operation under Spanish control -
trol are to be continued , . ' .o far as corn-
; patibie with the new order of lm1ng.

the assurance given that the It'OPle t.hahl

erty , should exert a good influence
throughout Cuba. The Siiiuiards there
hai'e ' believed that when the -trnerIcalis
got possessIon they i'iuld at once turn
; the island over to the Ctmban , whkhi
to time Spaniards meant releutles latr-
I secutlon and perhaps death. They will
, now understand that tiat' rovernmneut of
the UnIted States has no such purpose
but that on the contrary it preposea to
see that everybody in Cuba who yields
to its authorIty bhall be fully protected.
The object of the war on tlit part ef

The report of straIned relations between -
tween time American soldiers and their
Cuban allies should perhaps cause no
surprise. Circu wstances have lioluted
to such a condition us inevitable. Much
of the conduct of the Cubans ha been
disappointing. There is no disposition
to deny them whatever credit they iuay
deserve for such service as they have
rendered , but it must be admitted that
they have not shown tiicmns1ves the
soldiers they were thought to be , while
their conduct in other respects bus been
anything but creditable. It was natti-
rally expected that they would be dis-
hosed to assist the . 'imericaim lores in

cpted our food they refused to do ace-

they ouid fled It easier if they would more

Compliments th General 3IIles.
Washington Star.
The whole country has been graufled by
the manly and chivalrous behavior o Gsa-
eral Mites at. Santiago. He has acted the
gentleman In all his relaflons with General
Shatter , not seeking in army way to obscure
him or to appropriate the smallest fraction
of the honor and credit that propermy belong
to him. Of course it is true that General
Miles arrled upon the scene before the cap-
Itulatlon of the Spanish army , but It is
equally true ( hat General Shatter had done
the work. directed the operations. and presided -
sided over the campaign. and General MtIes
has recognized these facts by keepIng in the
background and leaving to General Shatter
( he center of the stage. It is a graceful
act which the American people will not fail
to appreciate.
POLITICS IN V.tII ,
Why the Government is Obliged to
Inne % 'ar Slowly.
Boston ' 1rancrit.
The adjutant general of the army , who
bas a great deal to do in these days. would
consider It a favor If people In different
states touid not petItion him to put the
volunteers renresenting them under fire.
Southern states are miff3d because thur
troops are not given the right of the ihie ;
Illinois thinks her men are as good as anybody -
body else and wants to know why tbty are
not sent Into the field. That is the atil-
tude Of Indiana. The adjutant general says
Ithodo Island has been so insistent that she
has been as a millstone round his neck.
To all these Inquiries he has but one answer
to make : That while all the voiunteers are
patriotic. some are much better prepared
for actual service than others. Front the

lttlTOflI.l. P1.AC1
PhIladeipbla Record : it. is ntst for the
Spanish government to uy upon what coim-
ditloas the war shall end. In bag rasge
international warfare the mastery of the s
carries with it the power to dictate terms of
peace.
Springfield Republican : The sooner we
now offer just terms of peace to Spaln lisa
sincere effort to end this war , the better ( or
the honor of the nation and the welfare of
her people. We con afford to lake the
Initlatire and ought to do it.
New York Mali and Express : When peeee
comes , it must be at the AmeHean price , and
not at the Spanish. tncie Sam may be inag-
nanimous as to terms , but he can't afford
either to propose or accept conditions which
make him out a chicken-hearted weakling.
New York Sun : Spain knows what we
have set out. to do. Her government has no
illusions about our purposes. We bare undertaken -
dertaken to act Cuba free , to take and keep
Porto Rico , the Philippine islands , the La-
drones and the Carolines. If the doing of
these things i to 1nvoie the continuance
of war it Is for Spain and not for us to de-
eWe.
Boston Transcript : WIth the tail of Santiago -
tiago ends the first. chapter of the history
4 of the war and only obstinacy on the side
of Spain can leave room for many more.
If Spain will not now seek for peace itself.
It is not beneath our dignity to invite it to
consider whether it has not done enough to
stare oft the inevitable to satisfy its quix-
otle notIons of honor. Enough blood has
been shed to demonstrate what the end of
this war will be. why should more be spilled
to prove the demonstration ?
Chicago Record ; Another thing public
sentiment in this country will insist upon
is that no terrItory taken from Spain dur-
log this i.ar in which the Inhabitants were
in revolt against Spanish rule shalt be i-c-
turned to that power. This wouid mean. of
course. that Spain must relinquish title to
the Philippines. over which the rnited
States probably will exercise a protectorate
until the Inhabitants of the islands shall
prove themselves capable of salt-govern-
macnt. The United States would want a
permanent naval statIon in Asiatic seaters ,
which might be found in one of the islands
of the Ladrone or 3iarlana group.
Philadelphia Times : It is needless to
discuss the terms of peace The independence -
ence of Cuba was the objective point of the
present war and that will surely be at-
tamed , followed by a Cuban republic with
an American protectorate. Porto Rico will
become an American province for two
reasons. First , Spain is unfitted to govern
it ; and , second , it Is the only offering within
the power of Spain as indemnity for the
war , The Philippine , the Ladrone and the
Caroline Isiands will be taken from Spain ,
and the final disposition of them will be
made by the United States in international
agreement. The one supreme fruit of the
war with Spain wimi be her absolute loss
of every Spanish province in the West
Indies and the Pacific , as a retribution long
provoked nnd conspicuously merited for the
despotic barbarism exhibited by Spanish
rule in her distant colonies.
A P.tMOUS 'ICTORY
New York World : Judging by purpose
and result by dicultks overcome and
dangers avoided , here is a record which
spells great generalship.
New York Sun : All honor and glory to
the soldiers and sailors , of all ranks. to the
generals and admirals , gunners and riflemen -
men , and all grades intermediate , for the
capture of Santiago and Cervera !
New York Tribune : Satisfaction in
achieving the great object of a perplexini
and perilous campaign Is greatly enhanced
by admiration of the spirit which dictated
the terms of surrender , and is alloyed only
by a proudly mournful recollection of sul-
ferings nobly borne and heroic lives cheerfully -
fully laid down for the country.
Detroit Free Press : It is a story glorIous I
and thrilling with the Inspiring leadership
and singleness of purpose of ocers and
the gallant hardihood , magnificent heroism
and self-reliant aggressiveness of the men ,
Little wonder that such fierceness and fearlessness -
lessness In action , such initiative and Irresistible -
resistible effort in the face of a deadly fire ,
should cause the mliitary expert of Europe
to marvel and admire. It was the spirit of
freemen responding to their nation's battle-
Ct7. The courage and capacity of the
American soldier should never be questioned
anywhere from this on.
Philadelphia Record : Santiago has been
won by sheer Individual personal bravery.
After long years of peace , after a vast material -
terial development , after all that goes to
the making of money and makes for the
marring of men , American manhood remains
supreme. The blue line , welded of blue and
gray alike , still sweeps forward up death-
dealing slopes to deeds of deathless valor.
Where the flag files there courage follows.
Men are still glad to die for the land that
bore them , heroes all , anif a grateful country -
try adds to the lengthening roll of historic
heights which valor has cleated with vlc-
tory and crowned with glory everiiving , San
Juan and Caney
Philadelphia Times : The heroism of our
troops before Santiago , in which there could
be no distinction between the regulars and
I the volunteers just fresh from their homes.
will stand out in American history as equal-
log the heroism of any of our great achieve-
meats of the past. The Spanish army was
the least of the obstacles which confronted
our brave boys at Santiago. A most Inhospitable -
hospitable climate , with daily floods alter-
aatIng with scorching suns , and without
anything approachIng adequate commissary ,
quartermaster or hospital. supplies , they
h have fought , sacrificed and suffered as few
, troops in any sar have done.

Captain i'hiiip H , Cooper ( who is to coin-
niand the modernized cruiser Cbic&go ) Is
an honor to a son of Pennsylvania. Ad-

sbipman from this state nearly forty-fire
years ago. During the civil war he saw
sea fighting under Farragut on the Mississippi -
sippi and was in the engagements and passage -
age of aim the forts up to the capture of
New Orleans. 1 the Gulf of Mexico and before -

braved shot and shell. Since the war he
has sersed in severam capacities at Annapolis
and has been superintendent of the naval
observatory. ills present transfer will leave
vacaat the chairmanship of the Lighthouse

Admiral Dewey was always a strict disciplinarian -
ciplinarian and occasionally inflicts punish-
meat In curious ways. Once while in a for-
cign port he suddenly ordered the heaviest
tackle to be gotten out of the hold without
delay. After two hours' hard work his order
was carrIed out and he then directed that
a large chew of tobacco which had been
thrown under one of the guns be hoisted
overboard. Never again on that cruise was
such an unpardonable offense committed.
Not even Captatn Philip could have objected -
jected to some of the cheering done by the
crew of the Iowa while the Vizcaya uas still
burning. Captain Eulate had been brought
on board wounded and a prisoner. He no-
buckled his sword and tendered it to Cap-
tam Evans. Then writes the sailor who narrates -
rates what. followed : 'Ca'tain Evans
shook his head and refused to receive It ,
turning the palm of his hand outward an' ]
waving it back. The Spanish omeers and
men looked on in dreamlike surprise. Cap-
thin Eulate pressed Captain Evans' hand ,
and the crew gave him three cheers , for lie
had fought well , and only gave up when his
ship was in flames and sinking. "
The death of Lieutenant J. .1. Blandin ,
who was on the watch aboard the Maine
when the battleship was blown up in the
harbor of Havana , increases to 67 the death
roll of that massacre. Lieutenant Blauiin
never recovered from the shock of that cx-
plosion , and his health began to give way
soon after be returned to Baltimore , Before -
fore his experience at Havana be had been
on the Trenton at the time of the Samoan

dred thousand pacificos to feed , clothe and

circumstances would no : be justified. But
Spain is so nearly whipped that even it
these 20,000 men are immediately placed

that they will do any moore fighting. Shipping -
ping them home is merely a convenient and
cheap way of being rid of them.

We have rend in soar and story
Of "the man behInd the gun ; "
He is sris'en all the glory
Of the battles that are won ;
They are filling up the papers
V.'tth hi apotheosis ,
And they tell about his capers
While the shells above him hiss.
But behind the grimy gunner ,
Steadfast through the wild hubbub.
Stands a greater god of battles-
'Tis the man wba cooks the grub.
When the sky is rent with thunder.
And the shell screams through the air
When some tort Is rent asunder ,
And Dc'structton reuels there ,
When the men in line go rushing
On to giorsor to woe
With the maddened charges crushing
Heroes who are lying low.
There is one but for whose labors
There could be no wild hubbub ,
And the greatest god of battles
Is the man who cc.cks the grub.
What of ships with armor plating ?
What of castles on the beights7
What of nnxiou captains waiting
While the careful gunner stthis ?
What of all th lonr-ranre rifles ?
\Vhat of men with valiant hearts ?
These were but impotent trifles.
But inconsequential parts
Of the whole , without the fellow
Who must scour. scrape and scrub-
For th greatest god of battles
