The great sea fight Off Santiago was marked
with two bits Of that poetic Justice which is
more often talked about than seen One WAS
that TO the man who trapped the Cape Ncrd
Acct at Santiago was committed the task Of
smashing it when it attempted 10 break out Of
the trap. 1t was Commodore Schley who did
that trapping. II was he who first made sure OF
the contents OF the trap. 1t was he who did
some Of the most effective hammering at the
dOof TO the sore discomfort Of the occupants.
And happily II was he who CHANGED TO he in i'm
mediate command AT the moment Of Admiral
Cerveras desperate bolt for liberty. His name
has popularity been associated with the task Of
dealing with the Spanish feet, and IL was he
who did finally dispose Of II. with that thor
oughness which has been characteristic OF his
career
Congratulations are likewise due to the COM
man1er Of one Of tn, smaller craft Of the
played. That is Lieutenant Commander VAIN
wright, Of the gunboat Gloucester. With that
frall craft he actually engaged the big Spanish
warships. destroyed the two Spanish torpedo
boat destroyers. and himself received. ms pris-

and the grim exultntiOn with which he OK
claimed ut It's close, "The Maine Is avenged"
For his phenomenal daring and effectiveness in
the fight he is worthy to be praised; upon the
happy incident OF his personally taking SPANS

heartily congratulated.

and Wainwright. like Dewey and Hobson, are
men OF heroic mould. But the mould was not
broken when they were made. Our Navy Is
filed with their counterparts. II is no detrnc-
ton from their fame to say they are representa-
tive men. but rather enhances It; just as 1t Ia
better to win distinction az a giant among
giants than as giant among pygnies. These
men are to be congratulated upon the former

AMERICAN SHOOTING.

Again II Is the superior intelligence OF the
men behind the guns which has made the
achievement marvellous. The fleet destroyed
by Dewey WAS not Of the best or latest type,
but. with guns OF the forts to help it, was not
overmatched The difference was that the
American fire was accurate and deadly, and the
Spanish fire wa, not. Cervera's fleet was the
finest that Spain could muster. and the great
offensive power Of its guns and great defensive
power Of the interior steel walled ctades which
protected steaming and aghtlng force were sup
posed by many experts to make the four cruisers
able to meet with success any vessels OF our
Navy except the few battle-ships, from which
with their greater speed the cruisers could run
away. Then the torpedo-boats were represent.

There are those. forgc:ful or unnecdng. who
look upon Spain in her decay and wonder nj her
former greatness. How. they nsk could the
country Of Weyler and Don Carlos ever have
been grent? How could n nation so shiftlcss
and impractical, 80 unprepared and so incapa-
bic Of preparation for war, have dominated all
the world save one outlying islands,
How could those who now cannot retain n
single colony once have held an empire on
which the sun never set? They ask unwisely
who ask these things, but they nre not without
their answer. II comes to them from amid the
smoke and flame AMI earthquake shock OF one
Of the most tremendous naval battles-we
speak advIsedly--the world has ever seen. II
comes to them from the wreckstrewn beach OF
