The Philippine que»tion is heated from end to end. It must be confess ed that it is very bard to take bold of. The government and people of the United States have done so well up to date, however, tbarl there is the richest ground for hope of a good solution, that will justify this country without a too Vtolent wrenching of traditions that are as sacred as the Declaration of Independence and tbe constitution. —Cincinnati Enquirer. Tbe Spanish people are having con siderable difficulty in finding any sunshine for themselves In tbe peace protocol, in spite of the explanation which was given out by the Madrid government. Tbe whole difficulty lies in the lent that tbe Spanish people have not been able to realise up to date just bow badly they were whip ped. When they do, they may begin to realise that they have been allowed to fall on a feather bed, so to speak. The four big vessels, the Almiraote Oquendo, Cristobal Colon, lolanta Maria Teresa and Viscaya, coat about 13,000,000 "apiece. Ton other vessels, at least, have belt destroyed or cap tured, which coot at a low average about 1600,000 each. That gives a total lose of 118,000,000 in vessels alone at the lowest estimate. Spanish newspapers say that the loos of Cer vera’s fleet caused a money loss of 120,000,000. The war has shown the effective handling of a fleet but once—at Mani la. Tbe battle off Santiago was the struggle of seperate ships. Our bom bardments were ineffective. At San Juan tbe expenditure of half a million dollars io ammunition hardly silenced a gun. At Santiago we shot away two million dollars without effectively impairing tbe fighting power of the enemy. Doubtless wo have many offi cers in our navy able to handle a fleet well—Dewer alone has done it. —Jack- sonville Times-Union. Prince Bismarck's brain, according to the flattering estimate of tbe an thropologist, Otto Ammon, was prob ably tbs heaviest known to anatomi cal science. Herr Ammon, in consul tation with Prof. Shafer, tbe sculptor, concluded, from the measurements taken for Sbafer'a bust, that tbe brain of the old statesman weighed 1,876 grammes, and consequently exceeds in weight that of any known genius, Ouvier’s brain weighed 1,830 grammes, Byron's 1,807; Kant's,!,6so; Schiller’s, 1,630, and Dante's 1,420, The average weight of the brain of an intelligent European is only 1,380 grammes. Help for the Beconcentrados- What about tbe reconcentradosT Are they all dead? Little or nothing baa been heard of them since the be ginning of the war. - Just before tbe war began a distin guished United States senator, when asked in what way it was possible to convey food to the reconoentrados, as proposed, said that our warships would f;/'• blase the way. Our warships biased tbe way, but it ia a question whether they did it in time to do the starving Cubans any good. There is some speculation as to whether any considerable number of the reconoentrados are still alive. If they were on the verge of starvation when tbe war began, more than three months ago, there is some ground for thinking that their number must be greatly reduced by thia-time. The government is now taking steps » UwT^Xje l j7r«ontigrof toe population of Cuba for several months. Il is admitted that it will have to feed tbe »rmy of Gen. Gomes until he offi cers and moo can arrange to take care of themeelvce. How long that will be no one can predict with any degree of certainty It is pretty safe to «*y that the great majority <>f them will niase no effort to. provide lor themselves as long aenur .government will provide rationa for them And when their ratiore arc stopped they may become bandita, that is » great many ot them may, and be the cause of an immenkO amount of trouble. The supplying of food to Gomez’s troops and to tbe starving people will have tbe effect of creating a kindly feeling among tbe Cubans tor the Uni ted States, and will help to solve the problem of providing a satisfactory government tor the island The mon ey spent tor food, therefore, ia not likely to bo thrown away —Savannah News.
