The American Navy on Dress Parade

The naval review at New York today is
in some respects local affair, but the na-
tons gratitude toward The American navy
for its magnificent performances in the
war will doubtless be variously manifested
in all sections in this connection. 1t is not
to be denied that the success of the Amer
lean campaign is largely to be attributed
to the floating fighters. At Manila and at
Santiago the chance for decisive strokes
were plainly offered and eagerly accepted
1t is no disparagement TO the army to in
sutute this comparison, for ii Is plainly to
be recognized that one of the most pro-
nounced demonstrations of the war is the
superiority of the American soldier The
man on board ship has suffered far less
than his companion in arms on land. The
deaths by woundi1g on the men-of-war
have been amazingly few. Save at Car
denas, where conditions strongly favored
the Spaniards, the percentage of the Amer
leans killed and wounded on the sea has
been so low as to attract the marveling at
tention of the world. This disproportion of
course reflects the superiority of the Amer
lean sea fighter, both the man and the ma
chine. over that of Spain. The speedier
response TO the call TO arms, the more ex-
act obedience TO orders. the better gunnery,
the better handling of machinery in all
parts of the ship, the better spirit of CO.
operation between officers and men, the
more elevating motives on the part of in
dividuais-ah these have contributed to the
inequality in causes and in effects The
sum-total of all is that the American navy
stands revealed today as one of the worlds
most formidable fighting agencies Tho
line of ships in New York bay today is
short compared with that which may be
assembled after a few years, marked by
the naval development sure to follow the
return of peace and the expansion of the
American area Of possession and influence
| Iodays display is in a certain sense tho
apotheosis of the Old navy which has won
such laurels, giving place TO the navy of
the reawakened nation confident of It's
prowess. aware of its points of weakness,
alive 10 Its necessities. Other demonstra-
| tions will probably follow this of today,
and it would be well if the Navy Depart
ment could manage to assemble success
sively at each of the large ports on the
| seaboard representative squadron of the
| ships which have taken such a glorious
| part in the war with Spain. They would

and aid in maintaining the high spirit Of

all fever patients, the balance beng

of these are fever patients, but there
are some twelve or fifteen suffering
from wounds received during the bat
ties of Ell Caney, San Juan hill or San
tiago. Among the fever patients are
1everal who have been i'll with typhoid
malaria, as many as three and four
times. Each time they were discharged
rom the hospital as being well. In
almost all of these cases the patient
resumed hearty eating and drinking
| Immediately after discharge from the
hospital. Physicians say soldiers who
have contracted fever in the south
should eat very sparingly during the
convalescent stage in order to prevent
a return of the fever symptoms.
Among the wounded men at Fort
Russell are several remarkable cases
remarkable in that the wounded men
were shot through the head, bowels,
lungs, liver or some other vital part
and still live. Among these are Private
Henry Clark, company q, Twenty

CUBAN OCCUPATION DELAYED.
Government In NO Hurry to Send
Troops to the Island


Troops to the Island.
Washington, Nov. 21-The war de-
partment has found that it is imorac-
ticable to occupy Cienfuegos before the
first of January, and Major General
Wilson, commanding the First corps,
which was designated to occupy Glen
fuegos, has been directed to make such
disposition of the troops that were
about to sail as in his judgment will
best serve the interests of the army.
A short time ago brigade under COM
mand of General Snyder was ordered to
be placed in readiness for immediate
service and occupation at Cienfuegos.
Since that time it has been found that
there are now $4,000 Spanish troops at
CienfuegoS, and that more Spanish
troops are to be. sent there, SO that the
Spanish garrison cannot be removed In
time for occupation by the American
troops on or about Dec. 2 This was
the date originally fixed when General
Snyder should go to Cienfuegos Be
sides the 10000 troops originally at
Cienfuegos, it has been found neces-
sary to send a large number of troops
from Havana, on account of the dis
turbances and mutiny which has oc-
CURED there.
The preparations thus far made do
not indicate that the United States au-
thorities are in any great hurry about
sending troops to Cuba. No ships for
transports have been assembled at Sa.
