several duties in directing and exc
cutting the fight. In this connection
it was pointed out as little less than
marvellous that the American squadron
escaped without severe injury, because,
Notwithstanding the disparity in the
naval forces, the Spanish fleet, assisted
by the shore batteries, should have
been able to inflict severe damage to
its foe before itself being destroyed.
Its failure to do so was applicable only
upon the hypothesis of perfect and
swift work by the Americans An
opinion freely expressed Sunday night
by naval officers is that the very de-
cisive victory of Adm. Dewey's feet
will mean probably an early end to

General Wood, who was given the
military command Of the city OF San
tiagO, has already demonstrated in
the most brilliant way what good ad-
ministratiOn can do for II region like
Cuba that has suffered for centuries
from hideous misgovernment. Our
governor found the city indescribably
filthy. He promptly opened the clog
ged drains; organized IL street-cleaning
service; enforced compulsory rules for
the removal OF garbage and domestic
waste: established II disinfection
corps in connection with an efficient
medical service; put the hospitals into
good working condition; cut the death
rate down 10 per cent; avcrtcd yell
low fever epidemic that was consider
ed inevitable: restored, repaired. and
greatly improved the water supply; or
ganiZcd an efficient general police sys-
ten, discarding the hateful Spanish
uniforms; cleaned up the water front
and devised plans for the dredging and
permanent sanitation OF the harbor:
established strictly regulated relief
service for the benefit Of the thousands
of half-starved people who returned TO
the city from the places to which they
tiles: restored the administration Of
justice under his own immediate drec-
ton: opened the schools and took the
children Off the streets. and in n vari-
ETY. of other ways brought order out of
confusion. 1t Is not necessary at this
point to digress by way of personal
praise of General Wood, who has
proved himself one of the most cffec-
tive men that the war crisis has
