They Don't Like Our Style of
Fighting.

One amusing feature of the war. one
which is by no means unexpected, is the
Spanish discovery that we are fighting in
a eowardly way. OF course, we knew we
could not suit the Dons.
They complain that we nave beaten
them in a remote corner of the world in
stead of coming out boldly and attack
ing them at home. They are also filled
with contempt because we brought supe-
rior forces to bear Upon their squadron.
Finally, they are enraged because we
are ready to take advantage of their do
mestic quarrels and vicissitudes.
Plainly the only thing for US to do to
suit Spanish notions of '~chivalry" is send
out our vessels one at a time and give
the Spanish feet a chance to come out
and blow it up.

It is amusing to see that the Evening
POST Is not above eontradicting itself
and also to observe that it's Washington
correspondents views differ radically
from those of its editor. In a long letter,
yesterday. the Washington man gave a
with exceedingly popular and patriotic
views, in which the fallacies and green
sick malice of the editorial branch of the
sheet were thoroughly exposed.
The Washington man sees in our in
Simultaneous levy of an army of $4,000
men an exploit of considerable impress
siveness. He considers that it shows a
fair national capacity for war, and 1T
guarantees in his view the easy conquest
and speedy paciieation of Cuba
The point which he brings out most re-
markably, however, is the strength of our
moral position in the war. He suggests
that we are not engaged in a war in the
ordinary sense of the word. but rather in
an exhibition of international police
owe He goes on thus
According to our theory, the Spanish
Government has been guilty, as a part of
dts horrible misrule of Cuba, of an at
tempt to exterminate a race by sfarva-
tion. Our consular reports say that $780,
600 of her subjects have
been murdered through hunger and dis
ease, as a result of the recommendation
order. The United States Government is
going into Spanish affairs as an inter-
national policeman, to put an end to a
system of murder, and It ~justifies itself in
50 doing on the ground that the Cuban
question has been declared to be an Amer
ican question. and the condition of the
island a vital concern ito the American
people. The destruction of the Maine
was really an accident that befell us
while occupying a milder relation of
police supervision. or rather of police OBJ
servation. But in the long run this war
must be looked upon as our attempt to
put an end TO conditions SO shocking and
brutalizing hat we could not permit their
indefinite continuance.
This is patriotic for the Post" It
places our attitude on the Cuban phase
OF the war in a fair light. OF course we
object to the insistence upon the word
accident" to describe the Maine atrocity,
and. necessarily, we object to putting that
dastard1y crime in the background as q
cause of the war. In our estimation, the
destruction OF our battleship is the cause
which, above all. j~ustifies the war, ami
we will always protest against any other
being placed before 1t. But for THE

our country. The vessel is the largest
fighting ship ever fioated under the
Stars and Stripes, is the costliest ever
built by the navy, and experts believe
will be the most formida BILE war ship

There never was such a crowd in
Newport News at any previous ship
launching. Gov. Tanner, of Illinois,
came Monday night, escorting several
hundred prominent citizens from his
state. They took up quarters at the
Hotel Cham berlain, and were joined
by Miss Letter and her father.
In the governors party were 20 mem
bers of his staff and their ladies. The
guests from Washington reached the
scene at o'clock, twohours before the
launching.
Among the distinguished visitors
from the national capital were AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy Allen,
Chief Constructor Hichborn, Chief En-
gineer Melville, Capt Crowninshield,
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and
Gen. Miles
An interesting incident, not on the
official programme, was the presenta-
ton, by one of the workmen employed
on the huge fighter, of a souvenir to
Miss Letter. A small piece of steel
had been cut from one of the plates by
the workmen, one side of which had
been polished to look like silver and
the other side painted red, the color of
the Illinois. A silver chain is rivited
to the souvenir, which is inscribed as
follows:
This piece of plate was cut from
the hull of the United States battle
ship Illinois Presented to Miss Letter,
sponsor, by the men employed in its
construction.
NEWPORT News, Oct. 4, 1895"
The balance of the piece of plate
from which this was cut was worked
up into small trinkets and given to
Miss Letter to bestow on her friends
as souvenirs of the occasion.

Dry Dock Co., escorted the guests

SENATOR QUAY ARRESTED.
Also His Son and Other Prominent Men
Accused of Using Public Money
for Their Own Use

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 4-Warrants
were issued Monday for the arrest of
United States Senator Matthew Quay,
his son Richard r. Quay, ex-State
Treasurer Benz. ]. Haywood and Chas.
81. Mckee, of Pittsburgh, law partner
of Lieut.. Gov. Lyon. They are ac-
cused of conspiracy with John S. Hop
kins, formerly cashier of the Peoples
bank, to use public moneys for their
own use. Hopkins killed himself
last March, shortly before the banks
failure.
Senator Quay and his son came up
from Atlantic City as soon as they
heard of their intended arrest They
promptly surrendered themselves and
Magistrate Jermon held them in SIS, 900
bail each for hearing at noon next
Thursday. Davis II. Lane, the repub-
hcan leader, became their bondsman,
and Monday afternoon they returned
to the seashore. By advice of their
attorney they declined to discuss the
case. They will come back to the city
on Wednesday so as to be in full time
for the hearing.
Mr.. Haywood is in Montana and Mr..
Mckee in New York.
United States Senator Penrose, who
was with his colleague, spoke freely
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1898-10-07

after the latter's departure for Atlantic
City.
Il presume Senator Quay will not
make any statement at this juncture, s"
said he, regarding this last dastardly
attack of his malevolent enemies,
though he dou btless will in the proper
time. There is, however, no reason
why 1, as his colleague and personal
friend, should be silent.
Attempted assassination of charac-
ter has been almost the sole weapon of
attack employed by Senator Quay's OPP
ponents for several years, and the
methods pursued have been augment
ed in viciousness and vindictiveness as
their futility has been demonstrated.
As the last despairing effort of unscru-
pulous eonspirators comes this brutal
move of the opposition, which they
have had upon their programme for
weeks"
The warrants were made out on Sat-
urday by Magistrate Jermon at the
and on the affidavit of Charles f.
Myers, of the district attorneys office
Myers is a detective and acted on in
formation furnished by Thomas w.
Barlow, receiver of the Peoples bank.
District Attorney Graham said that
from evidence in the shape of letters
and papers furnished to him he be-
lieved it his duty to begin proceedings
He added:
Il propose to have a hearing as
quickly as posi- le and to produce at
that hearing all the facts necessary to
a binding over. Some facts will be
reserved until the time of the trial.
If the state of affairs as represented
to me is true it ought to be exposed.
This rottenness ought to be showed up
no matter upon whom it reflects. 1t
is not my practice to speak in advance
of the trial of case, and 1 will say
nothing further as to its merits"
