The Philippine question seems to have settled its.-ir. or rather to have been settled for the United States by Admiral Dewey and General Merrill. According to advices from I long Kong he surrender of General .laudenes last Saturday included the whole of" the Philippines, and if such is the case - and cireumstnees indicate that it Is the matter of the control of the islands is removed from the list of problems 10 be decided by lie- peace commis? sioners. Spain lias already advanced the argument that as the fall of Ma? nila occurred after the peace protocol was signed. I In- status of the ne? gotiations is n..1 affected by the Ameri? can victory. It is further claimed by the Spanish authorities that General .laudenes had no power to surrender more territory than that embraced in the city of Manila. Such contentions, however, are not likely to be seriously considered by this government. There is ev.-ry reason to believe thai the f'ni ted Stales will retain control of the islands. Whether this will be a wise policy only time can tell. The Florida Times Union and Citizen is not ready for peace. It calls atten? tion to fact that. Turkey has never paid the just and equitable claim of the United States for property destroyed by tie Mohammedans, and says: "Watson is about ready for Ho- Medi? terranean now. Send him to Constan? tinople. We shall only get into trouble by being modest. The Turk under? stands bu on.- argument: advance it." Young Pullman and his bride had a hard tin,.- finding a parson who would marry them, ton in the end they dem? onstrated the truth of the ..id adage :hat where there's a will there's a way. Spain is said t.. be opposed to Sen? ator Davis as a peace commissioner. Let Spain attend to her own represen? tatives. President McKinley will name ours. im Is adopting some excellent for keeping He- peace, one of Ho- order just placed for t?n ir! ridges. The Philadelphia Press Is recovering from the war fever.
