TOO MUCH TALK.
It appears evident that Admiral Dew
ey has overreached himself in his ear
nest denials of his statements as
reported by the Filipinos. A hero
who knows no enual on the quarter
deck, w hen Dewey gets on land it seems
as natural for him to make a fool of
himself as It U for Pettlgrew.
It is unfortunate that the admiral
has not been more guarded In his
statements, for by making the asser
tion, quoted in our columns yesterday
and declared therein to be false, that
the Filipinos had no thought of Inde
pendence till after the destruction of
the Spanish fleet, he has laid open
to suspicion the whole of his testimony
which has heretofore been exceedingly
valuable to the administration in sup
porting its present policy in the Phil
ippines. If in a controversy .with the native
leaders Dewey is known to have spok
en falsely, no greater boon to the "aun
ties" could have been granted, ard
doubtless they will make the most of
It. .
Could the word of the Filipino lead
ers be relied upon we must have to
admit that our conduct toward them
has been little short of perfidious, for
we were bound by whatever promises
our admiral may have made. But as
long as it was a mere question of
doubt as to whether our own admiral j
or the Filipinos correctly reported thei
extent of the agreements entered into
between them, the recognition or non
recognition of the Filipino flag, and
other matters in dispute, we have,
of course, put confidence in our own
brave Dewey. The American people
will be exceedingly loath to feel that
their confidence in his integrity has
been so misplaced. It is evident that
Dewey was merely In one of his talk
ative moods and spoke unthinkingly
without weighing his statements. It
is also quite possible that he was mis
quoted by his Interviewer.

Successor to Th. Olsen, 600-J Com. St
bwn slow In waking Up to a reallxutlon
of the horrors which have been per
petrated In China. The slot lea 'which
have collie out have bwn go fragmen
tary, so. Incoherent and to cent radio
tory, that there Is a disposition to dis
credit them and to refuse to believe
that the fotvign resident of Pvkin have
really beri massacred, with revolting
tortures, as the many rumors from Chi.
nese sources have asserted. In Europe
the same apathy for a time existed, but
It appears now that the people of the
oKI countries have come to a realisation
of tne situation presented and that
public sentlnvnt is becoming fear
fully uroued on the subject. The
phlegmatic Ocrnians are bitierly en
raged over the known murder of their
minister at the court of China, and If
the rumors (if wholesale massacre prove
true, the war spirit of the country
will wake up as it never has done since
the march on Paris. In England pub
lic opinion Is fast assuming the phase
exhibited when the news of the terrible
outrages accompanying the Indian mu
tiny gradually became known. The
Boer war has ceased to occupy pub
lie attention, save as a factor in the
situation which reuders Great Britain
temporarily crippled In Its resources
and unable Immediately to respond to
the public demand for the embarking
of a military expedition to revenge the
innocent blood shed and to secure the
world against a repetition of the Pe
kln horrors. Public sentiment in
France Is not so pronounced, or rather
the political aspect of the situation
more considered there than the fearful
account whK-h has rolled up, and which
mu?t be paid In Chinese blood.
When it Is remembered how the peo
ple of the United States flamed into
righteous wrath when the Maine was
blow n up in the harbor of Havana, and
the war sentiment created by that act
is recalled. It may seem iomewhat sin
gular that the stories of the fearful
outrages upon American men, women
and children In t-blna have as yet
aroused public sentiment in this coun
try to no styious manifestation. The
truth Is that the patience and conser
vative good sense of the American peo
ple are at present being grandly ex
hlbited. They are awaiting the truth
T. . . ....
iney reiuse to commit tnemseives on
the strength of rumors which, no mat
ter how often repeated, "may yet prove
to be false. It seems to many Im
possible to realize that the responsible
heads of the Chinese government are
f) utterly depraved as to counsel and
permit the horrible massacres which it
is alleged have taken place; and so
ignorant as not to realize that they
themselves. In their own persons, may
pay the penalty if Innocent life has
been sacrificed. ---
When the full truth is known, how-
ever, and If the stories which are now
mere rumors shall have been fully con
firmed !n all their details, then the
American people will be heard from,
The feeling caused by the Maine affair
will be as nothing compared to the
deop and abiding wrath of the Ameri
can people over the massacres in Pe-
Kin. ana no sacrifice will be deemed too
great, no exertion of the power of the
government too strong, until those out
rages have been atoned for by those
responsible for them. And under that
wram win oe burled the cheap and
noiseaome partisans who dare at this
time to assail the administration for
the steps which it Is taking to protect
American lives in China, and to aveng-
the blood of murdered Americans.
