cERvERA's TACTICS.

Though the movements of the Spanish
fleet, from its appearance in our waters
until it retired into Santiago harbor
served to perplex our strategists and
seemed to be inspired by the purpose to
enforce delays while avoiding fights, we
conceive that Cervera's present status
was distinctly planned at tine start.
Cervera recognized that a state of
activity was indispensable on his part,
but that his Interior designs must be
hidden by erratic maneuvers until CO.
operation by other squadrons of Spain
was in readiness for him. We believe
that he at length penetrated Santiago
harbor, hoping to confine its defence
mainly to the strong batteries at its
mouth. He would thus economic coal
and keep his ships in order and safety
until the time for decisive action. The
Notifications were increased, greatly
strengthened, and the most improved
guns were mounted. It was Cervera's
theory that the American ships must
attack these strongholds, and be de-
stroyed. He would then make his exit
from Santiago and, Joined by the other
fleet of Spain, have things all his own
way. That his magnificent plan was
shattered right at the start was due to
the fact that Cervera did not have pre-
vious personal introduction to Sampson
and his Yankee ships. and took neither
into his calculations.

GRACEFULLY ENACTED.

President Mckinley has signed the bill,
offered by Representative Jenkins of
Wisconsin, removing all disabilities i'm
posed by the Fourteenth amendment on
persons who engaged in the service of
the Confederacy during the civil war.
The passage of the bill created scene of
patriotic outburst in both houses of Con-
gress, and the President without delay
put his signature to it.
While, in all probability, there are
alive to-day few. if any at all, to whom
the act will apply, the present war with
Spain has produced a strong sentiment
for the obliteration of all differences of
the past, and the bill was therefore
gracefully timed and gracefully enacted
THE war excitement has for the time
being pushed KIondike to one side. A
reliable report states that $25 900 600 is
90 route from the Yukon district.

MAKE ALL CARRY LIGHTS.

The Essex county Grand Jury recently
made careful investigation of three
fatal accidents which occurred on the
highway. In one instance citizen was
struck by bicycle, and in another
case "a woman and child were killed
by vehicles. The Newark Neaes, aptly
commenting on the subject, says:
Under police regulations bicycles are
required to carry lights at night. The
provision is a wise one; its stringent en-
foreemeut is necessary to public safety
The Grand Jury found that vehicles
drawn by horses are not required to burn
a beacon. The smooth roads and the use
of rubber tires, they aver, make it
difficult to discover the approach of a
carriage or wagon at night. Hence, the
perils of the road are aggravated. The
power to compel all vehicles to carry
lamps at night resides with the muni-
cipal authorities. The cities, towns and
townships have the same legal right to
require the use of lights on vehicles that
they have over bicycles. Penalties may
be imposed for neglect, and may be col
lected.
Here is a matter of pressing impor-
lance. Will the excellent suggestion of
the jurors and the court be acted on by
the authorities upon whom the respons-
Utility in this matter rests?
The matter is one that should receive
the careful attention of the authorities OF
every municipality in New Jersey.

AMERICAS NAVAL RATING.


AS the CHRONICLE prophesied at the
very outset of this war, one of its perma-
nent results will be the raising of the
naval rating of the United States from
sixth to third or, possibly, to second, If
European complications should come of
our Philippine possession the second rank
in naval ships and armament will be as
sured, with Great Britain, as now, first
We have on the stocks now three first
class battleships greater in power each
than either of the FIVE now doing efic-
lent fighting under Sampson. Three yet
more powerful and immense battleships
have lately been ordered, together with
four harbor defense monitors and thirty
torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroy
ers. Meanwhile a bill is pending before
Congress, by Representative Pearce of
Missouri, for the immediate construction
of five first class cruisers of greater dis
placement. heavier armament and higher
speed than any now in the navy, ten tor
pedo boats, fifteen torpedo boat destroy
ers and fifteen steel gunboats, all to be of
"a better type than any now in possession
of the United States"

ANOTHER "oReeoNp WITH GUNS.

We have all been reading of the great
gun practice of the battleship Oregon at
Santiago on June 6. On that same day
there was general election in the State
of Oregon, and the result is, more gun
merry. That is to say, Oregon fires the
first gun in the Congressional campaign
of 1898, and elects two Republican MEM
bers of the next House, besides Governor
legislature. etc., the Republican majority
reaching 5000.
While the result in Oregon is decisive.
and of course notable triumph for the
party and, sequentially, for the gold
standard, we are disposed to view it in
the light, Independently of the financial
issue. of a-warm endorsement of the ns-
tional ADMINISTRATION in its conduct of the
war with Spain.

ENTERTAINMENT NOTES.

The general verdict of the performance
of Caste at the Lyceum last Tuesday
evening was that we never had seen in
Morristown a better amateur perform
ance. Every part was we'll taken, every
detail perfect in its way.
The first of the TUESDAY in June"
dances at the Golf Club was very pleas
ant, and the same people who were at the
Monday evening dance attended that of
Friday evening. There is another to-
night, which it is expected will be as de-
lightful as that of last week.
The second of the three morning
musicales was most delightful It was
to have been given at Mrs. Grinnell
Williss, hut owing to the large number
of tickets disposed of it was decided to
have at Mrs, Downing's. Mr.. Douty
sang and, as usual, entranced his hear
ers. His rendering of Brahms "Wie
bist du Meme Koenlgin" was enthusi-
astically received. Mr. Hans Kronold
played several times to Mr.. Curtis ac-
compartments and played most delight
fully. When Mr.. Douty sang, Mr..
Kronold and Mr.. Curtis accompanying
him in Times Garden and Massenet's
Elegie, one wished that the next time
to hear them might be very soon. The
third and last musicale will be given next
Thursday. the 10th. at the Golf Club,
when the song cycle. I'm a Persian
Garden, will be given by Victor Harris
and the quartet of singers who have
made it SO successful at the Waldorf
Astoria.
Thesong recital last Thursday at Mrs.
Downings was one of the delights of the
season 1t was the first of a series of
these managed by Mr. Curtis, under the
patronage of Miss Hopkins. Mrs. j O. H.
Pltney and other ladies' Max Heinrich
was the singer. He is perhaps the lead
ing artist in the country for this sort Of
work and there is no greater test of an

range of the modern lied and playinghis
own accompaniment most delightfully."-,

singing was a revocation, especially in his
declomation. His mezza-yoce singing
was perfect and all the more delightful

TEEMINe WITH HEROES.

The American navy today is putting to
flight all former records of individual
dauntlessness on the sea, both in our own
history and that of Europe. We would
not detract from single gallant deed of
the past, either on land or water, but in
analogizing the exploits of the present
we are constrained to take into account
that while the progress of science has not
improved the ordinary chances of life the
Improvement of explosives. Notifications.
cannon and small arms has rendered the
probabilities of death in action many
hundred times greater. To the fact that
human nature does not rise to the lofty,
voluntary challenge Of the augmented
risks, but that individual natures do, the
world is indebted for its great heroes in
war; and the American navy is teeming
with these natures as will its army at
the opportune crisis.
And while the fame of Dewey encircles
the earth, and the cypress and the laurel
wreathe with glory. respectively, the
names of Bagley dead and Hobson living,
yet another American naval hero has
given up his life for the love of his native
land
There is a distinctive pathos in the
story of the sufferings. self-sacritice and
death Of Captain Charles V. Gridley, of
Pennsylvania, who commanded Dewey's
flagship, the Olympia, in the great battle
in Manila bay. He had long been ill, and
when the squadron was about to leave
Hong Kong to find and destroy the Span
ism feet Captain Gridley was SO feeble
that it was tenderly proposed to leave
him ashore. Valiant soul that he was,
he pleaded to go into battle with his ship.
During the action blood vessel burst,

sion of the big guns Of the Olympia; and
from that date he was slowly dying

MEANING OF .MoRRo CASTLE,

All readers of recent war news have
had their curiosity excited by the reap
pearance. in each Spanish harbor, of a
"Morro Castle" That in Havana was
familiar before the war began, but a
similar castle with similar name was
in turn encountered by our feet at San
Juan and at Santiago.
Most people have the idea, whence de-
rived I do not know, that lei Moro is
a corruption of eel Moro" or ..the
Moor. This is mistake. as could be
learned by-consulting even the Century
Dictionary of Names and Places. The
English-Spanish dictionaries define
moro" as meaning .overhanging, 2
familiarly applied to a distorted lip; but
they give no secondary meaning. The
following definition. however, is trans
lated from the dictionary used by the
Spaniards themselves, copy of which
may be found in the Columbia College
and other libraries: MORO beetling
or overhanging; also used of a rugged,

TIPS FOR THE TUTORS.

IT is to be hoped that the American
history departments of our public schools
will devour a good deal of what they may
have offered them as 'swar narrative
not without good deal of salt. 1t is
most propitious interval-this of actual
warfarefor instructors TO post them
selves on the technique Of military bat
ties and then to impart some staggering
revelations to the classes. For example,
the bands don't play brilliant sonatas on
the battlefield. You see, they wouldn't
be heard and their brass toots would get
peppered full of blowholes. The pri>
vate soldier he that knocks out the re-
suits with his gun gets few orders in
action, and these from his captain. The
captain himself often has spent pretty
hot all-day in the ranks of his company
without requiring or receiving a single
direction this during the hardest kind
of fighting over miles of ground. Fact is,
the keen instinct of the rank and file-the
men afoot settles all issues of conflict.
They are directed into line and location
by generals in whom they need to have
the most absolute confidence moral con-
fdence- and are guided toward the enc
my by their immediate commanders. On
meeting the foe in line, should-(as alb
surdly stated by some historians and be-
lieyed because SO stated)-t one or the
other army wait to be 'stold' to '.fire, ;"
or how to fire, there wouldn't be enough
of that side left to bury its dead. And so,
too, during the fighting the instinct of
the rank and file detects the fine instant
for advance or retreat, and acts on it,
with eagerness, if the first; with suflen-
ness, if the second.
If generals literally "led' their men
into battle there would have to be about
five generals, instead of one, to brigade,
in order to have one left at the end of
half an hour. The death of Kearny and
Mcpherson on the Federal side, and of
Gregg and A P. Hill on the Confederate,
are examples of mounted and conspicu-
GUS officers getting among the men with
the ,muskets. When a general rides in
front of his men oxide the sswar histo-
ries' they have to shoot through him if
they want to hit the enemy. Staff officers
have to take terrible risks; regimental
officers share all the perils of the men;
but the general eficers-except when
foolhardy, which many of them will al
ways prove are usually picked off by
long distance sharpshooters or exploded
Shells. The movement and intensity of
the musketry fire indicate to command
ers the weak or strong points of the line,
and dictate reinforcement or otherwise;
but it all depends at last on the men on
foot on the infantry and their immedi-
ate commanders; on the men that hardly
ever get theirnames in the newspapers
and when that line gives way and goes
rearward -''not on the order of its 60
ing" but goesAyou may wager that the
whole menagerie scrambles without be-
ing asked to.
