Admiral Dewey has raised the Spanish cruisers, Isla fie . Cuba and Isla de Luzon, which were sank dur ' in the battle "of Manila; Both have been floated and are Jocked at Ca " vile. The Admiral's intention is to have them fullv repaired and. fitted oat to re-enforce his fleet. " The two vessels in question, while not of the latest model, were amon the most effective protected crnisers of Spain's Pacific tquadron. Each - bad a displacement of 1,030 tons, speed of sixteen knots, and a crew of "160 men. Each carried four-inch noniona guns, tour six-pounaer ana two three-pounder rapid-Grers, .two machine guns, and three torpedo tubes. They were lighter than the Marblebead and Montgomery of our own fleet, but carried as heavy arm a ment. Light-draught vessels will be needed in the Philippines, and in raising the two Spanish cruisers Ad miral Dewey has made a valuable addition to his .fleet at trifling ex pense. . . If it is deemed important to save the third-rate cruisers sunk in Manila bay, how much more important is to save the first class Spanish cruisers sunk in the vicinity of Santiago. One rf tliaoA iUf HI rr . - . wicot) irinua ACftfSU, was raised and floated and is now at the mercy of the storms at Cat island The government is making every at tempt to save the vessel, and, even though this be accomplished at great expense, the people will' approve Ihe - worn, me same course Biiouia oe ! rr l i , . . " followed with the Cristobal Colon, . . . uie vizcaya, ana me AimiraDte, Oquendo, which went down with the ' Teresa in : the battle of Santiago, Xhe e vessels were the pride of the Spanish navy. They came to Amer ican waters under the command of one of the best naval officers in Eu rope. Tbey were blockaded in San tiago harbor by our fleet, forced, out of the harbor by the victory, of our armv. and in one of the greatest - 0 oaval engagements of history" were sunk by the guns of the American warships. J . The Cristobal Colon, the best ves sel in the Spanish navy, was not in jured in battle. She was run on the beach, surrendered, and was taken possession of almost immediately by tne Americans. All the injury to her was done by water and it was be lieved at the time by the most ex perienced officers oa the ground that -ehe could be raised without great dif ficulty and added to" the American navy at an expenditure ot one-fourth of what the vessel originally cost. - -Even if the Vizcaya' and the Oquendo cannot be raised with profit the experiment should be tried with the Cristobal Colon.; This ves sel, trip nrirlP rt tha ' finoni'ch nontr . f - . . . V .. uv l'I'lllOU I J , was constructed at a cost of $3,500, 000. If she can be floated, and re paired so as to become a cruiser in the American navy, she will remain for years a memorial of American valor on the sea. Wherever.sbe might go, iu home waters or abroad, the first thought would be of the victory of the American fleet at Santiago, and - the Cristobal Colon would be a constant reminder to the 3'oung of the high place won by our navy through superior courage, dis cipline, and skill. - ' PAY J NO FOR NEW TERRITORY A generosity exceptional "in the world's affairs has marked the conrse of the United States in Its territorial expansion from time-to time. A cash payment has been the rule with thl9 countrv. The Tnw nf rnt Viloaa seizure is not to be found in onr his tory; Nor is a defeated adversary treated by as as one who must give up -everything asked without receiv ing anything in return. "JThat stern demand bas usually-been enforced by other nations, but DQt.by ihe ,United States. " Oof creditable custom is to disarm the" foe, but not to drive ""him from bis possesions worse than emctv-handed. - Losers ia modern wars usually pay a cash indemnity France was deprived of two entire provinces in the last" war with Ger many and paid to the victor $1,000 000,000 in addition. In the war 1878 with Russia, Turkey lost ter ritory both in Europe and Asia and is still deeply in arrears for the - cash indemnity also exacted. Prussia paid nothing for the. annexation 1866, by military force, of the Danish provinces Greece recently escaped from the grip of Turkey by a cession of territory on the frontier and a cash indemnity. Spain is" found to. fa exceedingly well when a comparison is made. . ". ... '. The practice of the United States in annexation Is far more considerate than that of Europe.' Almost in variably we have paid a direct sum in cash for territory acquired. For the Louisiana purchase . of 1803 France received $12,000,000. - Spain obtained $5,000,000 for Florida 1819." Texas, with the standing . of an independent state, came into the union voluntarily, accepting the ad vantages a. an equivalent, without a cash payment. The cession ofMexi can territory in 1849 involved a cash payment by the United Stales of $1 5,000,000 and debts assumed to the extent of $3,500,000. The Gads den purchase of 1853 cost $10,000,- 000. Alaska was purchased in 18G7 for $7,200,000. " While Hawaii came in this year without a direct payment, the obligations assumed amount to several millions. Porto Kicols re garded as a partial war indemnity. It ill be noticed that the mle with the United States has been to pay a lump cash sum, and one large enough to be quite welcome to the countries repre senting the other side of the transac tions. . In the acquisitions referred to we have paid to France, Spain, , Mexico and Russia a total of $527700,000, an average of $21 a square mile, or a faction more than 3c an acre. To give Spain $20,000,000 for the Philip pines would be $87 a square mile, or about 13c an acre. But the value of the City of Manila is to be kept in mind in making an estimate of this nature. The offer includes impor tant advantages in addition to the $20,000,000 in cash. Spain will be allowed Jto conduct commerce with the Philippine seaports on the same terms arranged for the United States. If the Spanish clement there desires to continue business on old lines no iscriminating taxes will bar the way. The United States in completing the treaty also proposes to wipe out. old outstanding claims on boUT sides. Liberality marks tbe proposition throughout. Spain is enabled to be gin a new ra without the - burden of revolted colonies and free from the war claims of a victor. She is.lucky to receive her lesson in war from a' generous people. PRACTICAL TEST OF FRIENDSHIP A crisis is at hand in tbe Anglo- American conference. Our neigh bors on the other side of the lakes and the St Lawrence might prefer that we should say the conference be tween the Canadian and' tbe United States commissioners; but, after all, the Dominion of Canada is 1 but a British colony. . It is the voice of Britain, not of Canada, that is to de cide whether the proceedings of . tbe conference, that bas adjourned from Quebec to Washington, are to end in farther vanity and vexation of spirit or in a series of mutual concessions. In fact, we are about to learn whether that figure of "sweetness and light," which of late has been . projected so frequently on the canvas of inter national politics, really is the reflec tion of a sturdy friend or is the mere shadow ota shade. II the " conference fails Britain mast not be allowed to lay the blame of failure upon "Canadian obstinacy," for Britain is the master and. owner of Canada, which has a part in the conference only by courtesy. . It is for Britain, not for Canada," to ex press willingness or unwillingness to relinquish the inequitable treaty that denies us the right of a suitable, war navy on the lakes, and that prohibits tbe construction of gunboats or other armec. vessels inany lake port; : even though the ocean - be -their ultimate destination. It Is Britain, not Canada, that is responsible for the ill treat ment of the United States sailors and fishermen in Canadian ports, and it is Britain that is responsible for the do ings of the Canadian seal poachers. It is a belief in the certainty of Brit ish protection that encourages Canada to be unjust and insolent in its deaf- mgs with the United States. Britain has but to say the word and Canada at once will proceed to be fair and just to the United States. If Canada alone were to be reckoned with, an accounting for the wrongs done in her name would be ' demanded . and enforced in short order. ' , Therefore the present conference affords up opportunity to learn how real or bow false are the present pro testations of British friendship. . Recently every week or two sad news is received here of the death at Manila of one of Oregon's most promising young men, who so readily answered the president's call for troops al the outbreak of the ; war with Spain. Nine out of every ten young men volunteering their ser vices in Portland not only were am bitious and of good- character, bat tbey relinquished good business posi tions. Tbey made these Sacrifices to do actual batile, and not to be gar risoned in a malaria-stricken Oriental town, to die like sheep or suffer per petual impairment of . health. The class of Portland volunteers we refer to mostly are under . 25 . years - old, with zood prospects in life were tbey at home, anJ it is the basest kind of ngratitude on the part of the war de partment not to furlough them dur- ing tbe reriod of comparative peace. It would not be difficult to replace them with more seasoned men, who could better endure the climatic strain than those striplings. The un necessary hardships to which these and other youths of the better- class have been subjected by the war - de partment, may in tbe future make it more "difficult for tbe country to get the flower of the nation to "rally round the flag" so enthusiastically as it did last spring. The. implied snub Senator McBride received at the war office early this week, when be asked for the relief of the Oregon Volun teers in tbe Philippines, has created some indignation here among the friends of the young soldiers, and that sort of indignation has a con tagious tendency. The administra tion cannot afford to be so arbitrary in time of peace, hence it might be politic to furlough the younger men belonging to the Oregon contingent.

WORLD'S WHEAT CROP. Beport of Ilia Wheat Crop of tbe World - .s by TJ.-8. Statlstlcan Hyde for this Month, M aa Follow: The Russian wheat crop is-now put by the minister of agriculture at 417,000,000 Winchester bushels, while the Hungar ian agricultural ministry estimates the crop of Hungaria at 132,277,200 bushels of sixty pounds. . The German ' crop is estimated at 115,000,000 60-pound bush els; the iUljantt 133,871,900 Winches ter bushels;" and the latest, estimate of the Spanish wheat crop is-a little , less than , 85,000,000 Winchester - bushels. The entire -crop of the United Kingdom is placed at 77,900,000-Winchester bnsh- el e. Tbe official estimate for Roumania makes its wheat crop 59,456,904 Win cheater bushels. As the area of the more eastern provinces was much larger than in recent years, it seems ; that the total for Canada will reach the highest of-iast month's estimates, 63,000,000 Im penal bushels. " - . ' ua tne wnoie tne changes from a month ago increaee the total estityate of tbe world's wheat crop, bat the con ditions affecting tbe crops of the south ern hemisphere are scarcely so favorable as they were commonly supposed to be when the estimates 'used : in the table published a month ago were made. Au stralia has coffered severely from drouth, bnt this is now broken,- good rains hav ing fallen throughout Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales. If the Australasian crop should fall short of the Broomhall estimate the largest- it may in any case equal, or perhaps ex ceed, the very moderate estimates of the other two -authorities- announced last month. "Tbe, Broomhall estimate was 54,000,000, and the Hungarian estimate only 37,000,000 bushels of sixty pounds) while the estimate of the . bulletin ' was 37,000,000 Winchester bushels. Severe frosts have been-reported " from Argen tina, but the latest accounts as to the outlook for the wheat crop in that country are not unfavorable. - : ' ... .; Baturdaj-s Dally.

To clinch bis remarkable story and add to its helpfulness to others, Pir. Tripp made affidavit to its truthfulness before Homer Hanna, a local Notary Public. From helplessness, suffering and despair Mr. Tripp was restored to the healthful, useful activity suggested at the beginning of this sketch. His experience is like others. While locomotor ataxia is one of the most baffling nervous diseases with which physicians are called to contend, its cure by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People has become a matter of almost daily oc currence.
