The Work of the Fleet.

From the time that Commodore Schley trolied it's mouth thus rendering escape impossible the naval portion of the seize of the difficult harbor has been without a flaw. Perhaps to Admiral Sampson is due trance of the narrow channel would not be advisable if Cervera's ships and the Span ish troops could be captured without it. To this decision, however made, is due the eminently satisfactory fact that not one Of our great fighting ships was materially injured in the course of the siege The Brooklyn was terribly pelted, receiving more shots than all the rest of the fleet. but she continued to do business, and is ready for more work of like sort
 Admiral Sampson was unavoidably absent when Cervera's ships were destroyed, but his cool head, long experience and thor ough grasp of naval problems have certain 1y been of great service to the country in the Santiago campaign. His plans seem to to justify Captain Mahan's comment, when he said that he had made no mistake His plans are amply vindicated this morning.
 The destruction of Cerveras fleet was a brilliant piece of work. This was Commo- dorc Schley's task. The accomplishment of the grand task without exposing the ships to the plunging fire of the forts or to the still greater dangers of the mines in the narrow channel was Sampson's The latter was not as brilliant as the former. but the patience and good judgment that led up to it will win commentators in every part of the land-in every land, for that matter.
 Admiral SampsoE's close cooperation with General Shafter is also a comnenda- ble feature of the campaign. They worked together fin every possible way. The fre- qucnt conferences between them, and the almost constant communication between the army and fleet, kept them in ciase touch Toral and Cervera found in them one enemy, fighting as if commanded Dy one iaai, and supporting each other ;;,

Porto Rico and Spain.

Santiago will cease to interest the people intensely, although the withdrawal of the American troops and feet and the trans portation homeward of the Spanish troops, will not permit interest in that quarter to flag altogether The troops will, let us hope, be sent home; but there can be no rest for the feet Thesblockade of Cuba must be maintained, and yet enough ships must be detached to cooperate with the army in the capture of San Juan, and enough more to let Commodore Watson car " the war home to Spain.
 Spain itself, San Juan and Manila are to be the three points of war activities. The comments of the German press upon the Irene incident plainly show that Germany does not mean mischief in Manila bay. She is unnecessarily fussy, that is all. Gen. eral Merritt will soon be on the spot, with full instructions, and full hand of sol diers. The flag will then float over all the Philippines
 The capture of San Juan, the capital and chief port of Porto Rico, will doubtless be carried forward under General Miles as rapidly new troops can be carried to the scene Sampson will be able to render much more assistance than he did at San tiago. He knows the case, too. All told, it is hot thought that there are over 1000 Spanish regulars on the island Commodore Watsons fleet will be in the nature of demonstration of sea power in Spanish waters; for it is scarcely possible that Camara will care to meet him, or that he will stay where Watson can reach him without eneounterng mines and land bat teries. But the deep thunder of Watson's guns will have a moral effect on old Spain even if he cannot do much in a physical sense. Let him go by all means. A little medicine administrated off shore in the home country may prove more effective than the conquest of great but distant islands.
