EUROPEAN INTERFERENCE.
From Washington comes the
semi-official assurance that Germany
will not be a troublesome neighbor
when the time comes to settle with
Spain on terms of peace. Our gov
ernment has this assurance from the
highest quarters probably from the
American minister at Berlin, who
had it from the emperor or his min
isters, or from the German ambassa
dor at Washington. The presence
of five German warships at Manila
may therefore be dismissed as not a
hostile demonstration, but rattier a
sincere and proper 6tep for the pro
tection of German interests in the
Philippines.
European interference from anv
source has now become a remote
possibility. The European powers.
though inclined at times to regard
the United States somewhat con
temptuousty, have long shown a dis
inclination to arouse the sleeping
lion, Not that the lion has stirred
himself to warlike action, we shall
see increasing respect for the flig of
this nation.
None ot the European powers is
in a position to court war with this
country. All have troubles of their
own, and the thrones" of most of
them are a little shaky. Their great
standing armies are little more than
well drilled militia, having seen no
actual service, and their navies are
untried, and therefore of unknown
effectiveness. Size considered, in
ships, ordnance and men,, the United
States has now the best navy afloat.
It has been tried. Our officers and
seamen have bad the training" which
can only come from actual warfare.
Dewey's squadron is flushed with
one of the great naval victories of
the ages, and many of the ships in
Cuban waters have been under sus
tained fire. In gunnery, in navi
gation, and in the dangerous maneu
vering incidental to blockade service
and bombardment of modern batter
ies, our navy has bad training iu
.which every navy in Europe is le-
.ficient.
Before the war is ended, the same
-will be true of our land forces.
Wherever they have been tried thus
far in the struggle, they have borne
themselves like veterans. The spiiit
which carried our marines through
the fierce fighting at Guantanaroo,
and our regulars and rough riders
through the galling fire near Santia
go, tubs through every brigade of
the new army.
European naval and military au
thorities have not overlooked the
conduct of our army and navy.
They will have little inclination to
6tir up strife with a country capable
of such valor and such achievements.
WAR ANV BUSINESS.
According to Dun's Weekly Re
view of Trade, the war is hardly a
perceptible factor in the business of
the country. Very liitle, relatively,
of the new business was created by
it, and still less perceptible is its
effect in the prevention of trade and
enterprise. '
The general feeling is that the war
cannot Jast long, and no one doubts
the result. The business men of the
country base their calculations upon
a short war and the acceptance by
Spain of such terms of peace as the
United States government may dic
tate. No doubt important business
results will follow the close of the
war; but as yet industries have re
ceived no marked impetus, except
those immediately connected with
war, and all those combined are not
capable of . materially affecting the
volume of general business , in the
country at large.
But when once peace has been es
tablished, American enterprise will
be sure to cast about to see what
new opportunities are presented for
the profitable use of capital. It may
be expected that the combined vol
ume of these new lines of business
will be sufficient to make a marked
impression upon the grand aggre
gate. The times are now good, but
the prospect is that they will greatly
improve when the country gets down
once more to a peace basis, with an
enlarged national area to offer new
openings for adventure and enter
prise. '
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
The London Star is authority for
a report that a part of Caaoara's
squadron, left him near Gibraltar,
and is now steaming across the At
lantic to Puerto Rico, "to join the
squadron of torpedo boats which
Captain Villamil has . bad concealed
there for three weeks past. This
fleet," the correspondent naively
adds, "will attack Admiral Sampson
in the rear, while Admiral Cervera
attempts a sortie simultanaously with
the commencement of the land bat
tle. Thus Admiral Sampson will be
too preoccupied to help General
Sbafier."
Unfortunately this is too good to
be probable. Nothing in Spain's re
cent naval maneuvers encourages the
hope that she will bring out her s-hips
and fight any warships that fly the
star-spangled banner,
Montojo re
Insect battle at sea, anil ran in unier
cover of the land batteries at Manila.
He bad a strong premonition that if
Dewey got at him there would be
many sick Spaniards. Cervera has
played at the same dodging tactics;
and Camara has done nothing the
past two months but beat around at
a safe distance.
The United States hopes Senor
Camara will carry out this threat
and send some of bis ships over here
to attack Sampson in the rear. The
"pieoccupation" wil' not last long.
FRUITS OF THE WAR.
The policy adopted by the strong
er nations of Europe in the Hispano
American war is in sharp constrast
with the principle for which that war
is waged. Continental Europc,having
had demonstrated to its satisfaction
tuat American armies and navies
are immeasurably superior to the
Spanish, are dropping their shallow
pretense of sympathy for the under
dog and are beginning to side more
openly with the stronger fighter.
Utter selfishness predominates the
monarchies of continental Europe,
-nd it should be a warning to Amer
icans who. sneer at the tdea of an
Anglo- American alliance. What
ever objections exist to that idea of
strength will be modified in the fu
ture. Were America the weaker
power, these same nations . would
stand ready to rend our possessions
and divide the fragments.
America espoused the cause of the
weaker when she sent her fleets and
armies to Cuba and the Philippines.
It will later be demonstiated to the
world that no grain of selfishness en
tered into the calculations of the men
who declared the war for justice and
erty. It will also be demonstrat
ed that the English-speaking race is
to predominate iri the world's affairs;
that the oppressed can appeal with
more safety to, the generosity of the
Anglo-Saxon than to the Latin race.
The war is not without its benefits
to America, aside from the satisfac
tion of giving freedom to wretched
and down-trodden peoples. It will
place her in a position to demand re
spect for the flag wherever it waves.
The citizen traveling in the old
world can now with safety rely upon
the protection of Old Glory, where a
few years ago he was wont to look to
the protection of England's sturdy
banner.
The demamds of a minister of the
United States will be equivalent to
commands. We shall . possess that
influence among nations which others
have required centuries to obtain,
our commerce will grow accordingly,
and the wealth of our people will ul
timately be increased in far greater
proportion than before the war. It
will be proof positive that in one case
"virtue brings its own' re ward."
SPANIARDS IN WAR.
A theory is current to the effect
that the American troops in Cuba
have met a disagreeable surprise in
the fighting qualities of the Span-
iards. There is nothing in this
theory. Every American soldier of
any experience knew long before the
invasion of Cuba that the Spaniards
were good fighters. Asva matter of
fact, the Spanish nalion has had in
recent j-ears more experience in
fighting, more experience in ail sorts
of war, than any other. European
countr'. ' . . '
From 18G7 to 1878 Spain, ns well
as Cuba, was in a disturbed state.
In Spain large armies were almost
constantly in the field under able
commanders, 'fighting against the
Carlists, and in Cuba Spanish officers
and soldiers had a long campaign
against the insuirectionisls. This
experience brought out all the mili
tary instincts of the people. It de
veloped the fighting qualities, but it
also stimulated a restiveness and a
revolutionarj' spirit not conducive to
discipline.
The Spaniard, whether he was in
the iirmj- or in the navy, was on the
lockout for pronenciamentos. The
Spaniard was ready to fight Span
iard or any one else at the drop of
the hat. and he was not overparticu
lar as to method. All these charac
teristics the Spanish soldiers of today
retain, but they have not the spirit
or the staying qualities of the men
who know just what tbey are fight
ing for.
No American soldier underrated
the fighting qualities of the Spani'h
army in Cuba or nt home, because
all the soldiers of the regular army
were fully informed and they expect
ed hot work m the beginning ot the
campaign.
A famous cavalry leader ol the
Confederate army, who know more
of army tactics, than of grammar,
once observed that the secret of mil
iary succecs lay "in gittin' thar fust
with the mostest men." That seems
to fit the situation at Santiago. If
the United States can get reinforce
ments to General Sbafter before
General Pando effects a juncture
with General Linares, the Americans
will attack the Spaniards with great
vigor. On the opposing hand, it
Pando should succeed in brushing
aside the Cubans and joining his
forces with Linares, the Spaniards
may come out of their entrenchments
and attack our forces, before Shafter
can bring up his reinforcements. The
situation is critical.
It is said that Cervera is a skillful
guitar player, so he has probably had
more or less experience in dodging
projectiles such as water pitchers
and old shoes bulled from upper
wmdows.
Madrid newspaper dispatches re
gard ingthe war in Cuba read 'some
thing like this: "We were victori
ous, but managed to escape with
our lives."
Oar baby has been continually troub
led with colic and cholera infantum since

A School Girl's
j Nerves.
This record is of especial value to parents. ICs a
message from a loving mother dedicated to the mothers
of growing girls. A truthful narrative of the utmost
interest and import.
It is important that the nerves are care
fully guarded. Mothers who have young
daughters of school age should watch their
health more carefully than their studies.
The proper development of their bodies
is of first importance.
After the confinement of the school
room, plenty of out-door exercise should
be taken. It is better that children never
learn their a, b, cV than that by over
study they lose their health.
All this is self-evident. Everyone ad
mits it everyone knows it, but everyone
does not know how to build the health up
when once broken down, even the best
physicians failing at times. .
The following method of Mrs. Stephen
Barnes, whose post office address is Bur
ney, Ind if rightly applied, may save
your daughter.
When her daughter Lucy was at that
critical girlhood age of twelve years she
grew weak and nervous.
"Previously she had been a bright,
healthy young girl," says Mrs. Barnes,
"She was diligent and progressive in her
studies.
"It became necessary, however, for her
to leave school.
"She was overtaxed mentally and
physically.
"Her nerves were at such a tension
that the least noise irritated her.
"She had continual twitcfiincr in (fie
I arms and lower limbs and symptoms of
Dt. Vitus' dance.
"Her blood was out of order she was
thin and pale, almost lifeless. In three

months she lost twenty -three pounds.
"We did everything possible for her,
and she had the best of medical treatment.
"Several skilled physicians attended
her, but no benefit was apparent.
'.A family friend visiting us. told how
her daughter had been similarly affected,
but cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People.
"She urged us to try the pills, and we
finally consented.
"We have always rejoiced that we did.
"The pills helped Lucy at once, and
after taking eight boxes she was entirely
'cured.
"She is now in perfect health, strong,
weighs ten pounds more than ever before,
and her cheeks are full of color.
"Two years of schooling were missed
on account of ill health, but now she can
gratify her ambition to study and become
an educated woman."
The reason that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People were helpful in the above
case, is that they are composed of vegeta
ble remedies which act directly on the
impure blood, the foundation of disease.
As the, blood rushes through all parts
of the body, the conveyer of good or bad
health, it is necessary that it should be
pure, rich and red.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the
blood by supplying its life giving elements
which nourishes the various organs, stim
ulating them to activity in the perform
ance of their functions and thus drives
disease from the system.
The pills are in universal demand and
sold by all druggists.
