Il beg to acknowledge the receipt to-
day of copy of your paper, which you
nave been good enough to send to me.
am somewhat at loss to know
whether you sent it for the purpose of
calling my attention to the cuss words
attributed to me in the newspapers or
to Capt. Philips official show of Chris

men on the quarterback of the Texas,
after the battle of Santiago, that he

Will publish this reply, that those who
have read your issue of July Is may
also read what l have to say about it.
Il have not considered it necessary,
and am sure that a great majority of
officers in the navy do not consider it
necessary to announce to their crews
that they believe in Almighty God
l think that goes without saying. We,
OF course, have the right to show by
our acts how much we are imbued
with this belief. Capt. Philip had a
perfect right to show this to his men
as he did; it was simply a matter of
taste
Now, for myself, shortly after the
Spanish cruiser Vizcaya had struck her
colors, and my crew had secured the
guns, the chaplain of the ship, an ex-
cellent man, came to me and said:
Captain, shall / say few words of
thanks TO Almighty God for our VIC
tory?' i said: BY all means do so;
will have the men sent aft for that pur-
pose, and was on the point of doing So
when ii was reported to me that a
Spanish battleship was standing to-
wards us from the eastward. My
first duty to God and my country was
to sink this Spanish battleship
and Immediately made preparations
to do so. When it was discovered that
this ship was an Austrian, found my
ship surrounded by boats carrying dy-
ing and wounded prisoners. and others

ber of $50. TO leave these men to suf :
