TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1898.
SchIey the Real Victor.

When Cervera's squadron was de-
stroyed it appears that Admiral Samp-
son was absent. 1t was Commodore
Schley who commanded the Ameri-
can force, instantaneously evolved and
directed the tactics of the feet, and
made the dispositions which brought
victory to our arms, and finally COM
PEELED Admiral Cervera's surrender,
with seventy-odd officers and sixteen
hundred men.
If this is the truth-if Admiral Samp-
son was not present-if Commodore
Schley commanded in chief and won the
battle-then it is Schley's victory, and
Sampson had nothing to do with it.
But. in these circumstances. what
shall be said of the official report which
Admiral Sampson sent to the Navy
Department claiming the victory for the
feet under his command? And what
shall be said of Sampson?

FOR Two years the weekly performances
given by the four troops OF cavalry, under
Lieut.. Shorts direction, were one of the

necessary at last to secure tickets from

Short is one Of the best polo players

The Fourth at Manila.

There are excellent reasons for the BE-
lief that the Fourth of July may have
been celebrated by Admiral Dewey and
Brigadier General Anderson at Manila
by storming and taking the city. The
latest advices from the scene make such
a movement highly probable, and we
greatly hope to find confirmation of that
theory in the dispatches which should
arrive via Hong Kong within another
few days.
The landing of our first detachment
of troops at Cavite has brought the
situation in the Philippines to a crisis.
The next step in the development of our
policy in that quarter will be likely to
force an issue, if we are to experience
any trouble from our German friends.
1t must be said that their attitude is
being watched with degree of appre-
hension. in Europe and elsewhere, that
the facts and their real intentions may
not justify. Beyond doubt, there have
been manifestations in and around the
Bay of Manila that do not agree very
well with the official assurances we
have had from Berlin of the Emperor's
complete and friendly neutrality. OPP
posed to these, we have been treated t.
the spectacle of a German naval dem
onstration under the noses of our
squadron of occupation. salutes to the
Spanish flag hardly courteous to this
country, and a rather insolent move
ment connected with the advent of our
first troopships.
1t is reported that when the Charles
ton and the transports entered the har-
Dor they were closely followed by the
German Kaiserin Augusta, in a manner
unpleasantly suggestive of interest 9TH
er than that of mere professional OBJ
servation. We must take notice too,
that there is most persistent diplo-
matte story abroad to the effect that
Spain has secretly ceded to Germany
an island, either in the Sulu or the PHI
ippine NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. differ as 10
which-in consideration of intervention
against the United States by the latter
power.
As in previous instances, where re-
ports of this character have been sent
out from Madrid and elsewhere, we are
inclined to be incredulous and positive
ly decline to be worried If the gov
ernment at Berlin were to enter upon
any such field of adventure, it could
only be with settled determination to
precipitate war, because nothing else
could come of it, and we do not believe
that Kaiser Wilhelm desires war with
us, which would not stop there, but
would almost certainly involve the
whole of Europe.
There is nothing in our relations with
the great Teutonic empire to justify
hostility or even unfriendliness. Con-
sequently, it will be time enough to con-
slider the opposite when it is made
plain Even the obnoxious acts of the
German navy at Manila may have been
given importance beyond their value.
They may only mean that Prince Henry
considers 1t necessary to his royal
'kudos" to make a polychromatic d's-
play Of the mailed hand" which he is

behind. They. it is said, have been or
dered west to Sicily, presumably to be in
handy place TO sing Sicilian vespers
when Dewey or Watson gets a chance at
the last Spanish squadron. As our Navy
will now be hunting for fresh job, 1t is
believed that there is nothing to hinder
the dispatch of the Eastern squadron in
chase of Camara within the next three
or four days.

BIG SIX OFFICERS SUSPENDED.
International Typographical Union
Tax Paid From the Wrong Fund

New York, July Sat last Sundays
meeting of Typographical Union No. 6.
the following officers were suspended
pending an investigation: Samuel B. Dom
nelly. president; John F. Weber, secre-
tary-treasurer; Thomas J. Ward. assist
ant secretary and sergeant-at-arms, and
William B. Derfiinger, extra clerk.
The International Typographical Union
levied a per capita assessment on all sub
ordinate unions: No. 6 was behind in its
payments; Samuel B. Donnelly was a can
didate for president of the International
Typographical Union; No. got notice
that Donnelly was not eligible until the
tax was paid. In order that Donnelly,
who has since been elected president,
might run, the amount of the tax was
taken from another fund.
James J. Murphy, former president of
No. 6. said yesterday: "A statement was
made that funds had been misappropriat-
ed. This is not SO. The suspension of the
officers is a mere matter of form"
The sum transferred was about $3.S00.

MISSOURI RISES.
River at Leavenworth Promises 6
Heavy Flood.

Leavenworth June 3.-The Missouri
river is still rising, the gauge at the
Terminal bridge showing rise of six
inches in one day
The northwest corner of the bridge
dixie is entirely under water and the
large sand bar above the dixie will be
entirely covered if the river rises an
other foot.
The water is now backing into Duck
lake through the old slough and the
drain ditch.
The Missouri Pacific has a large gang
of men here loading fiat cars with Gin
ders and slate and all loose dirt in the
yards. This is done so that in case of
any washouts there will be plenty of
material on hand to fill them quickly.
Some trouble is being experienced at
Connor's station owing to the rise in
the river. A freight car jumped the
track there, but was soon put on again.
