Sagasta's Difficulty.

Even in Spain such conspicuous in
competence as that displayed by Sa.
gasta must end in disaster. From the
first moment that he assumed the tasl
of forming a cabinet and virtually di-
recting the war, Sagasta has deliberate
ly chosen to pander to the prejudices
of the most ignorant and clamorous
among the people, instead of attempting
to lead public sentiment to a higher
He could easily have gathered about
him conservative men who are not un-
popular and could have saved his coun-
try from a hopeless war that meant
bankruptcy to the treasury and the loss
of the territory for the retention Of
which the war was provoked.
That financial panic must now over
whelm Spain appears to be inevita ble-
Sagasta has lost to her the best of her
few remaining colonial possessions and
burdened the people with onerous taxes
which they cannot pay He has sac
rificed her navy and made it impossi-
BILE for her to restore it. He has not
even saved that mysterious thing
known as Spanish honor. In spite of
his cowardly submission to the clamors
of an irresponsible mob, he has lost
his own popularity and whatever fame
he has gained in the past as states
man and diplomatist.
No one would have found 1t an easy
task to induce Spain to abandon Cuba.
but any man with self-respect and
sense of duty TO his country could have
made stand against a policy that be-
came more popular because of his ap-
parent approval. That Sagasta did not
enlighten his countrymen as to the logi-
cal result Of the course they demanded
was proof of inefficiency, since
he has not even preserved his
own popularity.
The evening times., 1898-07-13

Thoroughly modern sentiment dominat-
ed the Democratic State Convention of IL
linois. For the first time in many years
there were no compromises. either in the
resolutions committee or the convention.
as to the attitude of the party toward the
questions that engage public attention.
The high motive that inspired Democrats
to urge on reluctant Republican Ad-
ministration the war for the suppression
of Spanish outrage in Cuba was recog-
nized and affirmed. There was no dispo-
sition to embarrass the Government by
criticisms that might easily have found
support in facts, but instead n hearty
support of every aggressive movement.
The Democrats in Congress who opposed
the annexation of the hawaiian Islands.
and who profess to fear the inauguration
of policy of conquest and Imperialism.
will not find the resolutions of the con-
vention cheerful reading. The Democrats
of Illinois are quite alive to the new
conditions and entirely committed to the
support of the glorious destiny of the Re
public.

Naval Gunuera


Kingston. Jamaica July l3.-Advices re-
ceived here from Aguadores state that Of
ncers OF the navy are well convinced
that should it be necessary the city OF
Santiago can be rendered untenable by
the big guns of the fleet alone without
the necessity of army participation.
The gunners of the feet have secured
the range on the doomed city Since Sun
day they have been dropping shots In and
about the town.
Commodore Schiey at o'clock on Sun
day afternoon ranged the Brooklyn. Indi-
ana and Texas within 500 yards of the
shore. at point almost cue south of the
city of Santiago. distant a little over four
and a half miles.
The ships were about half a mile apart.
The Brooklyn opened fire with her S-inch
guns. The army signal men were on the
beach opposite the ships, ana also on the
crest of hill overlooking both the ships
and the city.
These men wig-wagged the results of
each shot. telling the gunners If the shell
was aimed too high or too low, or not in
line.
Sundays practice was good. but IT was
better on Monday. when the firing was
opened by the New York. which return
ed from Guantanamo Bay during the
night.
The New York. Brooklyn, and Indiana
were the ships which participated in the
shelling Monday morning. Each shot
was carefully calcula ted and the wig
wag signaled from the shore to the ships
where each shell fell and notified the
gunners If they had the proper elevation.
II this information was not otherwise
procurable.
The ships ran out their big guns on the
side opposite the firing in order TO secure
the desired list to port or to starboard.
Gen. Shafter signaled at about noon
that some of the shells fell in the bay
and some in the city. The latter do not
appear to do great damage"
Comment on this subject was changed
Immediately by message. saying "the
last shot struck st. Nicholas Church.
where powder was stored. blowing up the
same and doing great damage"
The effect of the shells when they did
hit can easily be imagined when 1t is
known that each of them carries 25O
pounds of explosives and travels 925 feet
a second. When such missile lands at
a distance of four and half miles from
the muzzle to the city 1t occupies % IA
seconds in its flight.
Four shells during the bombardment
ignited fires in different parts of the city,
proving the feasibility of burning the
place by using the guns of the fleet alone.
1t was strange to see our soldiers re-
pairing a locomotive on the railroad
track running along the beach, while like
the strokes Of slow clock. the guns
were fired and sent shells screaming over
the men at work
