SPAIX'S DELUSIVE HOPES.
Spain's hopes to secure a favorable
settlement in the peace commission
at Paris are destined to disappoint
ment. They will fail for at least two
reasons: Her complete co'lapse in the
war deprives ber of nil right to ex
pect favors, and the aid which she
looks tor from Russia, France, Ger
many and Austria will not be fur
nished. To a certain extent, of
course, the peace commission's en
vironment is calculated to arouse
false hopes in Spain. Popular senti
ment in Paris is on the side of Spain,
and the influence of the official class
among the nations of continental
Europe will be exerted indirectly for
that country, but the pressure which
it expects will be absent. The settle
ment will be between the United
States end Spain strictty. No out
side interference will be permitted by
this country. The relative strength
of the combatants as determined by
the war, and the position and the im
mediate prospects of each at the be
ginning pf the armistice are the con
siderations on which the adjustment
will be based.
That the Spanish commissioners
will make a hard fight to retain the
Philippines was to be expected, and
the report to this effect which comes
from Madrid will not surprise any
body in this country. But if Spain
imagines, as the report also indicates,
that the United States will be tnlked
into an abondonnient of all territorial
rights in the islands except for a
coaling station she is woefully blind.
The obligations which the United
States is under toward the insurgents,
whom we induced to resume hostili
ties, and our own commercial inter
ests in the PaciGc prevent us from
surrendering any of our claims to
possession of the whole group. We
already have Luzon by conquest, and
with our navy and the absence of a
navy on the part of the Spaniards we
could bring the rest of the islanc'g
t:nder our control in a few weeks if
the war were resumed. These facts
will tell in the commission. Spain's
representatives will quickly be made
to see that we are masters of the
situation, and ravherthan ritk the re
opening of a suicidal war they will
defer to American demands.
It will be well for Spain to remem
ber that this is not the first time that
America has taker: part in a peace
commission in Paris, and that it is no
stranger to the hostile influences
which may be exerted in that quarter.
The treaty of 1783, by which Eng
land acknowledged the Independence
of the United States, was framed in
that city, and the anti-American in
fluences on that occasion were far
more powerful and dangerous there
then than they can be now. Both
France and Spain, our "allies" in the
war just ended, tiied in the peace
treaty of 1783 to restrict the United
Slates to the region east of the Al
leghenies, so as to prevent this coun
try from acquiring a power which
might be dangerous to them in the
future. The victories of George
lingers Clark, however, over the
Biitish in what is now Indiana and
Illinois'in the latter part of the revo
lution gave us claims which could not
be set aside. England, our recent
enemy, fairer than our treacherous
friends, acceded to our demand that
our Western boundary be fixed at the
Mississippi. The United States,
which secured justice when among
the feeblest of the world's nations, is
not likely to fail now when it is one
of the strongest.
The refreshing coolness of autumn
will quickly reduce the number of
fever cases amoDg the soldiers, pro
vided, of course, the camps are kept
scrupulously clean.
The deivish assaults upon the Brit
ish line at Omdurman were fierce but
brief. They were beaten back by
striking the rock of Anglo-Saxon
courage.
Admiral Dewey is making no re
marks at Manila. He has just quietly
settled down to see that none of the
fruits of victory are overlooked.
