THREE LITTLE YANKEES DID THE ALPHONSO XIII

Key West Fla, July e.-There is now
little doubt that the Spanish steamer de-
stroyed by the Hawk, Prairie and Castine
at Mariel on Wednesday last, was the
transatlantic liner Alfonso XII, OF
nearly 5000 tons.
Although the American ships were I'M
able to approach close enough to clearly
establish her identity on account of the
brisk fire from the steamer and the shore
batteries, her appearance cOrresponded
almost exactly with the description of the
Alfonso XII. as given IN Lloyds'. The
destruction of the ship was a daring piece
of work. The credit does not all belong
to the Prairie. whose big guns finally en-
compa ssed the Spaniard's ruin and left
her a mass OF blazing wreckage on the
beach. The work of the little converted
yacht Hawk was patriotic to degree. 1t
was she who first discovered the enemy
and alone gave chase, running back for
the assistance of the two large gunboats
only when the Spaniard drew in under
the Mariel batteries and close 10 two
Spanish gunboats lying in the hsrbor.
Before seeking aid, however, the Hawk
lowered a small boat. manned by Ensign
Schoheld and crew Of six. In the bright
light Of the tropical moon they pulled
boldly to within ships length Of the
Spaniard. after she had gone aground,
their mission being 70 learn her name.
From the time they left the Hawk until
their return the small boat and her crew
made a brilliant target for the machine
guns and small arms aboard the steamer
and an incessnt fire was directed al them.
Nothing daunted. they drew close
enough to hear spoken orders on the en-
emy's deck. Shots were flying all around
them, but none struck. and they were
eventually compelled TO return 70 their

RAPID TRANSIT.

After much delay the Senate rush
ed through the rapid transit bill at
almost lightning speed last Saturday
and the House met in the afternoon
to consider the bill as amended. The
House refused to concur in the Senate
amendments and a conference COM
mittee from each branch of the Leg
islature will be appointed to see if
an agreement can be reached.
There has been an evident desire in
some quarters to sidetrack this bill,
but the tactics have failed. The bill
is one eminently to the advantage of
the public. If the bill passes we shall
at once see marvellous activity among
the Noah's arks and uperannuated
mules and horses of the present tram
way company. If the bill does not
pass the Noah's arl<s and the bony an
llilti at the same slow pace which the
company considers proper for such a
long suffering set of people as ours.
The opposition to rapid transit, it
is well to note, comes from few
who never use the tram lines. Peo-
pie who drive their own teams and
never put their feet inside public
conveyance have very little idea of the
discomfort any annoyance of the pres
ent mode of transit, and are not quail
/ fed to judge of what are and what
/ are not the needs of the travelling
/ public.
Some people, also, who oppose the
present bill have an idea that the
tram car company has an exclusive
franchise. There is nothing of the
kind, and there is nothing in the law
to prevent a company from running
parallel tracks with the present com
pany, could they obtain the privilege
1t is to be hoped the matter will DC
settled today.

THE WAR.

The war which has languished
somewhat after Deweys brilliant eN-
plot seems now to be rushing forward
with quick velocity. The United
States troops are in Cuba and have
driven in the Spaniards posted against
them. The brunt of the engagement
seems to have fallen upon Roosevelt's
Rough Riders, a corps delite, compos-
ed largely of young men of wealth;
sixteen of this body were killed.
But the most startling news is the
departure of Admiral Camara with a
fleet and several transports to Mani
first renforcements on June 25th, it
is to be hoped. Camara was at Port
Said on June Goth. 1t would take
him at least three weeks to reach Ma
Mia, and by that time the second eN-
petition of General Merritt's force
should have joined Dewey. Whether
the Monterey would arrive in time Is
predetermined. But there is no doubt
that Admiral Dewey will be able to
deal easily with the Spanish force.
The real danger lies in this; that
after landing the troops in some port
of Luzon. the armored cruiser Charles
V will start out on a commerce de-
stroying career. She is fast, and be-
fore she could be run down she might
do an incalculable amount of harm in
the Pacific Ocean. For coal. there Is
a large supply at Guam, which is still
in Spanish hands, and cruisers are
constructed to run long distances
with the coal they carry. There will
be quite lively interest taken in the
Charles V, for she might pay a visit
to Honolulu. The hope is that Dewey
will go out and meet the Spanish
squadron. If he could annihilate it.
the Pacific would again be safe, and
he would have repeated his first great
achievement, and earned more unen-
during glory. However, it looks as if
there might he lively times in the
Philippines.
