An English Critic.

There was very great delay in getting
the Santiago expedition away from Tam
pa, and Mr.. E. P. Nuttan, the CORE
spondent of the London Telegraph, who
went TO Santiago with Gen. Skaters
army, says there was unaccountabIe delay
in landing the troops and siege guns on
the shore Of Cuba.
Mr.. Nuttall says that for eight days
after the arrival of Gen. Skaters army
on the Cuban coast the siege guns re-
manned on the ships. During those eight
days the weather was as fine as 1t could
possibly be, and there would have been
comparatively little difficulty in landing
the guns and putting them in position on
the hills overlooking Santiago. At the end
of that time. however, the rains began,
and the roads became almost impossible
So bad were they that it was with the
greatest difficulty that the heavy guns
could be moved over the roads.
We do not pretend to say who was to
blame for these delays, but there is no
doubt that there was a lack of efficiency
somewhere Had the siege guns gone for
ward promptly, 1t is probable that San
tiago would have been taken when the
first battle for the possession of it was
fought.
1t is probable that the department of
the army which has the handling of sup
plies and the control of the transporting
of troops and munitions of war is not as
efficient as it should be. 1t has had no
experience In such matters, except such
as has been gained at small army posts
The officers in charge of it are doubtless
getting along in years, and lost their
heads, probably when they were called
upon suddenly to solve hastily problems
with which they had had no acquaintance
whatever. There are men to be had from
the ranks of civil life who could manage
the quartermasters department of the
army many times better than 1t has been
managed thus far and it would have paid
the government 10 have secured their serv-
ices.
Stin, 1t Is source of satisfaction to be-
lieve that the kind of inefficiency which
has been shown will not be witnessed
again 20 any considerable extent. The
shortcomings have been noticed and steps
taken to prevent their recurrence. The
splendid spirit of officers and privates in
trying situations in face of the enemy has
forced into the background matters which
are legitimate subjects for criticism.

snrnstn.r Reetenation.

The meaning Of the resignation OF Prime
Minister Sagasta and his associates in the
cabinet is that they see that 1t would be
folly for Spain to continue the war. She
has done the best she could and can, at
this time. make peace without loss Of hon
or. but If the war is continued until she is
thoroughly exhausted she will have little
or no voice in making peace. She will
have to accept whatever terms may be
proposed to her by the United States.
There is plenty of evidence that the
great majority of the welI-informed peo-
pie of Spain favor peace. The financial
industrial and commercial interests all
favor 1t. Only the officers of the army
and the military politicians insist upon
continuing the war. The army officers
want TO win a big victory somewhere in
Cuba as an offset TO the two great naval
victories won by the United states. The
Spanish statesmen desire to keep on the
good side Of the army, because they fear
that the services of the army may be
needed in Spain before very long. There
fore they pay more attention to the
wishes of the officers of the army than
they otherwise would.
1t is but natural for the officers Of the
army 10 think there is sun a chance for
Spain to hold on 10 her colonial posses
sions. AT least they are not yet in
frame Of mind 10 accept the position they
would occupy if Spain should lose her col
onies. They know that without her colo
MES the Spanish army would have to be
greatly reduced, and that. therefore, the
occupation of a very large percentage of
them would be gone. Spain would have
no use for as large an army as she has
now, and, besides, she couldn't pay such
an army
The officers of the army see this, and,
hence, are bitterly opposed to peace upon
the terms which Spain would have to ac-
cept They have been having a pretty
easy time of 1t in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, and they don't regard
with favor the prospect of having to strug-
gle for existence in the various avenues of
civil life.
It looks, however as if their wishes
would be disregarded, and an effort made
on the part of Spain to bring the war to
an end. Clearly that is the course which
Senior Sagasta thinks ought 10 be pursued
and many of the ablest of SPANS public
men agree with him.

Il never have been able 10 get it through
my head" she said as the lights burned
low, according to the Chicago Record,
which is the more formal an beginning
Ietter-'dear' or my dear OF course I
mean preceding a name
1T depends upon circumstances to
large extent" he replied
But dear is unquestionably term of
endearment," she protested.
And yet" he asserted, Its absence may
make an endearing phrase-a love mes
sage, if you will-doubly significant"
Il fail 10 see how" she returned, blush
inG prettiiy merely because of the course
the conversation was taking. Il should
say rather that il became the more sig
nificant as one approached the superlative
degree"
I'm a measure it does he admitted;
but much depends upon the circum-
stances and the persons involved. If an
old gentleman writing to you addresses You
as Dear Miss Brown that is distinctly
formal. while if he says My Dear Miss
Brown It seems a trifie patronizing and
fatherly, and so TO that extent is more
friendly. But if a young man uses Dear
and My Dear the conditions seem TO be
reversed"
II don't see how"
Then let me Illustrate" he said. Sup
pose l should address you as My Dear
Girl That would seem rather patroniz-
ing, would il not, as if l were about to
point our some little error or bit of Iool-
ishness. But if 1 should say Dear Girl
how about that? Does it not meap more
than the other in my case?'
While you are about it," she suggested,
again blushing, why might you not say
Dearest Grip"
THE superladves are used so much by
some Americans he said, that they lose
of nd 1n no
to have the strength found in lesser de-
grees. AS love terms Dear Heart and
Sweet Heart have stood the test of
years, and any attempt to put them in
the superlative, as Dearest Heart and
Sweetest, Heart instead of being more
effective would be simply farcical and
would detract from, rather than add to,
their significance"
But how about Withdrawing the word
dear entirely?" she asked, for, being a
woman, it was only natural that she
should wish to make a study of all the in
| tricacies of these terms. You spoke of
that, you know"
Certainly" he answered, land I can
prove the truth of what 1 said. Again let
me illustrate with you. I say to you. My
Dear Mamie 1t may mean much; il may
mean little. 1t depends upon circum-
| stances. 1t may seem patronizing, or il
may not. That also depends upon circum-
stances and the tone. But we take away
| the word dear, and then / say TO you My
Mamie What do you say to that?"
why, II guess 1 am" she replied
blushing deeper red than before, ''but
! you might have found out whether I was
| or not without adopting such a round
| about method
Nevertheless, having proved his case
| and accomplished his purpose, he pro-
| ceeded to take possession.

GermanxLess Offensive.

The fact that Germany has ordered the
squadron away from Manila which she
sent there causes almost as much COM
ment as did the appearance of the squad
ron at that port. Why she sent a half
dozen warships there al a time when their
presence would cause Spain to believe that
she meant to question our right to take
possession of the Philippines has not been
explained. In view of the fact that her
newspaper press was extremely hostile to
us, the conclusion is permissible that the
sending of her warships to Manila was not
an act friendly to us. 1t is probable that
she intended to interfere in some manner
in our war with Spain, not for the pur-
pose of helping Spain, but to gain a foot
hold in. and a share of. the Philippines.
What her intentions now are it is impos-
sible TO say 1t is noticeable. however.
that the tone of her newspapers is a little
more friendly. Perhaps the Santiago naval
battle made an impression upon her that
led her to think that it wouldn't be ad~
visable for her or any other nation to I'M
dertake to prevent us from carrying out
our plans in respect to the Philippines. In
fact, that Santiago naval contest appears
10 have made a profound impression in all
parts of Europe. The European govern
ments suddenly awakened to the fact
that the United States have a navy that
would prove troublesome to any one OF
them which should attempt to test its
qualities Even England thought 1t ad-
visabs to inspect her ships and find out
just how many of them would be availa-
BILE in a contest with our navy. She was
surprised 10 find that the number of them
that was out of Independently value
less-was extraordinarily large,
Germany may still be inclined towards a
policy of interference in our affair with
Spain, but if she is it is hardly probable
that she VIII adopt it, The performances
of our navy at Manila and Santiago are
well calculated TO make her hesitate to
change US from friend 10 an enemy.

A good deal of credit for the navy's good
work is due to Theodore Roosevelt While
he was assistant secretary, and long be-
fore there was actual danger of war he
insisted that a large stock of ammunition
should be sent to Dewey. At the time
Dewey's ammunition was nearly ex-
hausted. The value of that precaution is
now well known. Al another time Mr..
Roosevelt had the North Atlantic SQUAD
ron assembled at Hampton Roads. and
asked for a sham battle. The command
ers told him that they had about ex-
hausted their practice ammunition, and
that their supply was not sufficient for the
drill he wished He Immediately ordered
that they so ahead anyway, and draw up-
on their regular stocks for all they need
ed to carry out the directions The value
of the practice was shown during the
fight off Santiago a week ago last Sunday.

DR. Broughton of Atlanta has done more
harm by his alleged exposures of the cor
ruption of society than he will be able to
counteract by good works for a long time
He has offended the ears of those who
heard his sermon, he has maligned noble
Christian and charitable organization, he
has stirred up angry passions, and has
laid himself liable TO the charge of bear
ing false witness. AS an offset to that,
he has merely got himself advertised as a
sensational preacher. No sane and unprej-
udiced person believes for one instant that
Atlanta society is as corrupt as DR.
Broughton represents it to be. There are
among the society people of Atlanta JUST
as good. pure. Christian, charitable and In
every respect honorable women and men
as there are in DR.. Broughtons church
Many of these people upon whom the
preacher is trying to throw foul mud are
consistent church members and persistent
workers for the uplifting of their fellow
creatures; they are God-fearng people
and live upright lives. There may be black
sheep In the flock; it would be a most ex-
ceptonal flock # there were not; but Is
that any reason why all of the members
Of 1t should be considered very, very
black? The Great Preceptor said that 1t
were better that ninety and nine guilty
should escape than that one innocent
should suffer. According 70 DR.. Brough-
toms code Of ethics. it is better that ninety
and nine innocent should suffer than that
one guilty should escape.

From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd).
Preparations have been made, It is said,
for an attack upon Porto Rico, but the
grand invasion of Cuba is postponed to a
more favorable season. with the hope that
peace negotiations may render it unnec-
essary. This is good policy, provided, 1t
shall not be carried TO such an extreme
as to lead Spain into the belief that there
is any weakness in this country as to
intent or resources upon which to found
hopes OF favorable issue. For that rea-
son, whatever blows may be struck
should be vigorous blows and there
should be no cessation of war operations
except as the result Of truce for peace
negotiations
