Heroes of Engine Rooms.
(Atlanta Constitution }

We agree with the New York Jour
nal that the heroes of our modern
battleships are not restricted to the
men who upon the smoke-enshrouGed
deck, participate in the glorious ex-
citement of the conflict.
Removed from the fiery play of
shot and shell. but encompassed by
dangers which are scarcely less i'm
minent or real, the men who feed the
engines in the close and sulphurous
apartments of our modern battle
ships, without being permitted to see
the sky above them or to know at
what moment they shall sink forever,
deserves to share the honors of the
men who fight on deck; and in this
impending conflict we should not for
get the nameless and obscure heroes
of the engine rooms.
Says the New York journal:
The engines must keep moving
and they must respond instantly to
the will of the ships brain in coming
tower or the battle is lost
And it is not alone the great ma
have to be looked after. The whole
ship is one maze of complicated en-
ginery. 1t is steered by steam; its
turrets are turned by steam directly,
or indirectly through electric, pneu-
matte or hydraulic power, it's great
guns are loaded by steam; it is lighted
by electricity, which is supplied by
dynamos run 10y steam; it is venti-
lated by steam-steam is the source
of all it's activities.
"Let the engines cease to work and
the ship would die. 1t would drift
like log on the water; it's guns
would be silent; it's interior would be
swathed in darkness, and suffocation
would drive its crew from it's lower
compartments to the deck. But the
machinist stands there-the grimy,
faithful physician, with his hand on
ships pulse to see that it's heart does
not stop beating. Down in his steel
dungeon, with none of the inspiration
of the battle, he listens for the sig
nals-"Slow," ''Half speed ahead"
'Reverse,'' y ''Full speed astern"-and
upon his vigilence depends the sue
cess or failure of the captains plan
of attack
What fate awaits the heroes of the
engine rooms we cannot say, but our
prayer is that the glory of the stars
and stripes may be maintained in
battle without the loss of one brave
fireman or engineer.

SCHLEY PRAISES DEWEY.
at Strikes Tie That The PrepOnder-
anCe OF Advantage Was With
The Enemy"

On Board the Flagship Brooklyn,
off Fort Monroe, May 11.-Commo-
dore Winfield 5. Schley. commanding
the flying squadron. to-day. for the
first time, consented to give his views
upon the victory won by Admiral
Dewey at Manila. He said
''Admiral Dewcy'S victory at Ma
Mia must dcscrvcdlv take its place
side by side with the greatest naval
victories of the worlds history. 1t
has been urged that the results show
such decided infcriority in resistance
as compared with the vigor of attack
that there is diminution of the
glory. but that is untrue, for it must
first be remembered that the great
ness of Dewey's success lies in the
calm courage and daring displayed in
his decision To enter Il strange har-
bOr, at dark under the guns of many
forts and Drawing the perhaps hidden
torpedo or mine
lit strikes me that with several
advantageous fortified positions the
preponderancc of advantage was GER
tainly with the enemy. and that with
the great daring displayed by Dewey
there must fall upon his shoulders
the mantle Of Perry and Farragut.
FROM the meaTre accounts that have
been received of the battle it is evi-
dent that despite the great risk which
every officer and every man knew
was being taken. there was not faint
heart in all that squadron. but an
enthusiasm and esprit de corps which
could not but win with such leader.
Il would note, too, that superior
education and intelligence. coupled
with perfection in mark ksman ship
aided greatly i'll winning the day,
and will, | believe, contribute to
future victories. Admiral Dewey and
every man in his squadron deserve
every recognition which a grateful
people and nation can bcstow."

The Cost of War.

The cost of modern warfare is ap-
palling to contemplate. A low esti-
! mate on the cost of construction of a
first-class modern war vessel is 81
100000. The equipment piles up the
expense. A 12-inch gun, mounted
on the deck and ready for action,
represents a cost of $4,000. The
maximum number of times such a
gun may be fired is 80; the minimum
80. After it has spoken it's terrible
message of death for say the max
imum number of times, it becomes of
use only as old steel. The strain and
wear and tear render it virtually use
less after this service. The cost in
wear and tear in firing such a gun is
1000 for every discharge. The pow
der and steel-pointed projectile, for
each discharge, represents further
| cost OF 81, 200, so that every time the
gun is fired it represents cost to the
nations taxpayers of nearly $4,000.
Every war vessel is equipped with
torpedo tubes and torpedoes. One
torpedo, exploded by concussion, will
blow up the greatest battleship in
any navy. A single torpedo costs
$4,000.
The boilers on our tirst-class war
ships, such as the flagship New York,
OF the North Atlantic squadron, or
the Iowa, or the indiana, furnish 90
600 horsepower. The horsepower
| OF all the boilers in Charlotte is only
about 1900. The 20, 900 horsepower
of the New York or the Iowa would
run every manufacturing establish
ment in all the cities and towns on
the line of the Southern Railway be-
tween Charlotte and Danville, includ-
those two cities.
Spain, having poor credit or none,
the war will cost her three times what
1t does the United States, and Uncle
Sam will consider that he does well If
he comes out on 81 900, 900, 900 a wear.
The Philadelphia Times figures it out
as follows:
AS the war with Spain is likely to
be chiefly naval war, it is well
worth considering how much the war
Will cost Spain. The figures we
have given as the cost of Construct
ing and using vessels in war, are on
the gold basis. American per cents.
sell at about 11s; Spanish 4 per cents.
sell at about 33, or one-third less
than their face.
Thus, while it will cost our govern
ment $4,OOO,OOO to construct and
equip battleship, and $4,000 for
every round fired from one of orr
large guns, and $4,000 for every tor
pedo we hurl against the enemy. the
cost to Spain is just three times the
amount of the cost of the same to
the United States.
Vessels and munitions of war can
be obtained only on the gold basis
and every round fired from the Span
lsh 12-inch gun must cost the govern
ment not less than $500, and every
torpedo sent on its mission of death
from Spanish boat must cost a like
sum.
1hese are mere money estimates.
The value of the lives of the brave
men who will be sacrificed are of
course not estimable in dollars and
cents--Charlotte Observer.

When Freedom. from her mountain height
nfurIcd her standard To the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars Of glory there,
She mingled with its glorious dyes
The milky aldric of the skies,
And striped its pure, celestial white
With streakings of the morning light,
Then, from her mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.

To hear the mpest-trumpings loud,
And see the lightning glanceS driven,
When strive the warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thunder-drum of heaven
Child OF the sun, to thee It's given
To guard the banner Of the free,
TO hover in the sulphur smoke,
TO ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its blendingS slime afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingcrs of victory.
Flag Of the brave, thy folds shall fly,
The Sign of hope and triumph high!
When speaks the signal-trumpet tone
And the long lines come cleaning on,
Ere yet the life-blood. warm and wet

Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn

Catch war and vengeance from the glance
And when the cannOn-mOuthings loud
Heave in wild WrcathS the battle shroud
And CORY sabers rise and fall
Then shall the meteOr's glances glow
And covering foes shall shrink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death
Flag on the seas on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave;
When death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the brOadside's reeling rack.
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee
And smile to see thy splendor fly
In triumph DER his closing eye
Flag of the free hearts hope and home,
BY angel hands to valOr given,

And all thy hueS were born in heaven
