kipIfng.

The world of letters acclaims Rudyard
Kipling as wonderful poet. but it is
doubtful if a more pestiferous cad
ute to America appears in his Songs
of the English" as follows:
QUEBEC
From my gray scrap yiey with scornful eyes
lgnoble broil of freedom most unffee.
Fear nothing, mother; Wneso the carrion lies
That Unclean Bird must be.
This stanza is from the English edi-
ton. of course. 1t does not appear in
the American reprint for reasons dictat-
ed alike by the desire for good sales
and that inherent personal cowardiee
which caused the author to abandon
his Vermont home at the toe of his
American brother-in-law's boot.
The London Criterion thinks it un-
likely after this last and most wanton
insult that Kipling will ever revisit
the United States. 1t will depend en-
tirely upon the -inducement offered
We have yet to hear of a modern Eng
lish writer from Dickens and Thacke-
ray down to the Scottish parson OF
the Bonnie Brier Bush" who was not
willing at any time to accept Ameri-
can dollars and hospitality secure in
the thought that they could be re-
quilted by vulgar abuse written in the
safety of home.
1t is unfair, however to associate
reputable names with Kipling, Kipling
is the literary jackal of his age.

THE PEOPLE OF HAWAII.
Far Less lHnOrsnt Thnn They Are
Often Represented.

Every man has the right to choose his
companions; and the fact that his neigh
Dor is not thus chosen does not in Itself
give that neighbor just cause for COM
plant. But when, in declining his COM
panionship. a man declares another un-
fit company for gentleman. the latter
may feel that failGre' TO- resent ii with
proper spirit would be almost equivalent
to an admission that the imputation was
lust Somewhat similar to this Is the
position in which the people Of Hawaii
are placed by certain creators of public
sentiment in America
Hawaii, through her government, has
solicited the privilege Of becoming part
of the United States. This proposition
has provoked much discussion, both
among Americans and among the people
of other countries. A great part OF this
has been temperate and thoughtful Rea-
sons for and against the annexation of
Hawaii have been properly presented. In
the course of the controversy many I'M
portant questions of policy and principle
have been raised The people Of Hawaii
have neither the right nor the inclination
to object to n full free discussion of the
matter in all its bearings: and what the
final decision will be il is the province OF
the American people to determine.
But those public speakers and writers
who would spurn the islanders as unht
for or unworthy of, the citizenship and
companionship of the free, enlightened
and highly civilized American people
compel a resentment TO their aspersions.
The Hawaiian school children are able
to put to shame. with their knowledge
of Garfield. Grant. Lincoln. Washington.
Gladstone Beaconfield, Bismarck, I'm
ser Fritz Nelson and Napoleon. the
American school children. Although the
Hawaiian press has deteriorated some
what since that time. Hawaiian newspa-
pers still give a great amount of news
from foreign lands that would be APP
preciated by the readers Of American
country newspapers. Hawaiian statis-
tics of hteracy are liable to give false
impression. since they included all per-
sons over six years of age. But II Is as
rare an occurrence to find an iliiterate
adult Hawaiian in Hawaii as it Is to find
an illiterate adult American in the most
favored State In the Union: and such
has been the case for a generation. Yet
these are the people who must bear the
brunt of the malice or ignorance of car
toonists and writers. who think it funny
to caricature them as ridiculous savages.

HOW THE FLEETS FOUGHT
None of spsiRs Ships Went
Down With Colors Flying.
CERVERA'S MEN WERE DRUNK
When Capture Became Certain the
Wine Stores on the Almirante
the Sailors Drank All They Wish-
ed-sampsOn's Ship Came Up Late.

Kingston, Jamaica, July 6.-None of the
Spanish ships can be saved. As they were
beached by their crews the valves were
and smash them. Not a single one went
down game with flags flying but each in
turn struck her colors and surrendered.
The Cristobal Colon got well away and
looked to be escaping. The chase by the
Brooklyn and Oregon will ever live In
warfare. For fifty miles the Oregon made
sixteen knots and kept up a running fire
all the time. The Texas. doing her best,
followed and was in at the death, after
helping to finish the vizcaya. the oquen-
do. and the Maria Teresa. The Brooklyn
hooked up five OF her engines. and yet the
Oregon stayed with her. Every time the
men in the engine room heard an eight
or thirteen-inch gun explode they would
work like Trojans. When the Colon was
beached the Oregon reached her first and
put prize crew on board her, headed by
Lieut.. Coggswell in charge. They found
nearly all the sailors on the captive ship
drunk. -
When 1t was plain that she was going
to be caught the wine stores were thrown
open to the men,.
The ship was splendidly appointed. She
had tons of flour. chickens, pigs and five
milch cows on board. The pistol and
clothing of Gen. Linares were also found
there, showing that he had intended 10
escape on the Colon.
At II o'clock on Sunday night, after the
prize crew had left her. the cruiser ca
reened. She is now on her beam ends,
with her guns pointing perpendicularly.
All the fine plate and elegant appoint
ments are lost.
The New York Suns correspondent saw
Admiral Cervera on the St. Louis.
II was ordered out by Captain General
Blanco on cables from Madrid" said he.
"I knew that 1t meant destruction, but
obeyed. l have known that 1 was in
hopeless situation since my arrival at
Santiago. and l am relieved that the sit
uation is ended / have been most cour-
teously treated
Admiral Sampson said:
"Of course. the victory is very gratify-
ing. The l.s00 prisoners will be sent to
New York. All the ships in the engage
ment fought splendidly.''
During the engagement the cruiser
Brooklyn was hit thfrty-seven times. but
sustained no serious damage. The Ore
gon was hit once, the Texas twice. the
Iowa four times.
As the New York came up she got in
a few shots.

THE SPANISH VERSION.
A Bulletin PurpcItinE to Describe
the situation at SontiaEO.

Madrid. July 6.-The following is the
only official telegram that has been Is
sued here today. II bears no date:
.-At dusk last night there reached the
Socapa batteries seven shipwrecked men
from the sunken destroyers. who said
that the cruiser Infan;a Maria Teresa
was steaming away in a damaged condi-
ton from behind Point Buzor, out of
sight of the town and that the Almirante
Oquendo was on fire. Subsequently other
sailors got ashore and confirmed the
above.
The enemy attacked our forces during
the morning. causing US the loss of seven
wounded. Col. Escario's column has ar
rived in Santiago.
"A deputa,ion of consuls conferred
with the general commanding the cav
airy division of the American army, beg
ging him to defer the bombardment OF
Santiago. in order that the foreign resi-
dents and the women and children might
leave safely. In the communication
brought by the senior member of the
consular body. the general said:
81 Will prolong the term before bonn
harding until 10 o'clock a. m, July 5.
provided that the Spanish forces remain
inactive without attacking the Ameri-
cans

WOES OF RECRUITS.
Veterans Play Practical Jokes on
Rockies.

Tampa, Fla, July 6.-The recruits of the
Second and Sixty-ninth New York Regi-
ments are fast settling down to camp
routine. The veterans have considerable
fun at their expense. They order the new
men around and make them dig palmetto
roots and tear up the ground around the
camp.
The Fifth Maryland has a regimental
quartermaster who is rapid in equipping
recruits. He fitted out 100 men in three
hours. The men passed into his tent and
were given Summer uniforms. campaign
hats and shoes. If hat was too large.
he would say: Let your hair grow" If
too small, "Cut your hair. If a blouse did
not fit, the recruit was told to learn how
to move the buttons.
The troops are still waiting for oEders
to re-enforce Shafter. The Signal Corps
and the Engineering Corps are kept busy
preparing for field work upon their arri-
val in Cuba.

Another tragedy of the sea is added
to the history of great marine disasters
in the sinking of the French liner La
Bourgogne. as a result of collision with
the British steamer Cromartyshire. off
Sable Island. A frightful loss of life is
reported, only two hundred out of eight
hundred passengers on La Bourgogne be-
ing saved. Among the people on board
were two prominent Washingtonians.M Mr..
and Mrs Anthony Pollok. Their fate as
vet is in doubt. Senor Don Juan Du
Bose, formerly Spanish charge d'affaires
at this Capital, and later chief of the
Spanish spy system in Canada, was also
a passenger. Whether he was lost is not
known at this time.

unintentional, humor in Commodore
Schley's signaled message to Admiral
Sampson, when the latter hove in sight,
lust after the surrender of the Cristobal
Colon and the end of the sea fight of
Santiago 1t was: "We have won a
great victory Details will be communi-
Gated" 1t appears that Sampson did not
wait for many details He was too busy
in making a rush for the telegraph Of
flee, to claim credit for an action in
which he was not a participant in any
sense. Fate was kinder to Schley than
the Navy Department had intended, or
perhaps would have approved. 1t was he
who filled the Santiago bottle. in the first
instance 1t was very appropriate that
the contents should be his.
The evening times., 1898-07-06

The glory of Schley's victory increases
as particulars of the battle come to hand.
1t now appears that, instead of desper-
ate fight against odds on Cervera's part,
IT was a ship-for-ship contest, in which
the Spanish strength was nommally not
inferior to that of the American. Only the
Oregon, the Iowa, the Brooklyn, the In
diana. and the Texas, besides the little
Gloucester. were near enough to engage
the enemy. Among other things, the
facts form rather an unpleasant COM
mentary upon Spanish naval prowess.

A dispatch from Gen. Shafter this
morning conveys the welcome intelligence
that, following a refusal yesterday, the
general commanding in Santiago, has con-
scented to the exchange of Lieut.. Hobson
and the crew of the Merrimac, for some
SPANISH prisoners. names not reported.
1t is probable, therefore, that the gallant
fellows will be once more among their
comrades, and under the flag of their
country before many hours. Hobson is
reported as having been Ill with climatic
fever. but well cared for in comforta-
BILE hotel in the city. His release may be
the means of saving his life.

DISCHARGES FROM THE ARMY.
Enlisted Men Under Eighteen Years
Old May BE Sent Home.

Old May Be S.nt Home.
Scores of applications for the discharge
of enlisted men in the Army have been
received at the War Department. They
come from fathers and mothers, wives
and friends, all of whom are bringing
every possible influence to bear to have
their requests granted. In order that a
clear understanding may be had by the
public concerning the matter of discharges
from the Army. Assistant Secretary Meik-
lejohn has rendered a decision which will
be the guide of future action.
The Secretary desires it to be under
stood distinctly that all such applications
must be made to the War Department
through the regular military channels.
Satisfactory evidence that an enlisted
man is less than eighteen years old will
entitle him to discharge upon applica-
ton. but enlisted men between the ages
of eighteen and forty-five will be required
to present perfectly satisfactory reasons
for the discharges for which they may
ask.

Out of all the women passengers on the
Inflated liner La Bourgogne, and there
must have been three hundred or more
out of a passenger list of nearly eight
hundred, only one is reported as saved.
If true, this is horrible reflection upon
the gallantry of the men, but perhaps the
less said the better until We hear the
story from the survivors.
