III. Reported Battle.

sS,In the absence OF official confirmation
of the startling reports from Cape Hay
/, tlen to the effect that Commodore
Schley's fleet was engaged with the
Spanish feet at Santiago. after having
silenced the guns in the fortifications on
either, side OF the entrance. 1t is'not well
s to place too much credence in them. II
;Schley mas accomplished the feat ac-
credited to him In these dispatches. he
has achieved more remarkable @per-
formance, even, that that Of Dewey. and
has won a victory which means an early
end to the war. III.
8 The navy; department, at a late hour,
had received no news OF any such en-
gagement as that reported, and discred-
lied the reports OF so decisive a fight, al
though Washington dispatches indicate
that some suct movement by the squad
ron was regarded as within the posi-
,bilities. 1t is probable that the persist
ents reports have basis OF some sort,
and It Is not unlikely that good reports
may be officially received from the
squadron which is expected to render a
good account of its mission.
Whatever doubt remains concerning
the correctness Of the Cape HaytIen re-
ports will be cleared up to-day, and II
{ the best is confirmed the people Of this
country will have victory to celebrate
which will cause the Dewey exploit to
pale into insignlilcance. Only positive
official confirmation. in the meantime,
will clear. all doubts away.

Patriotism and Revenue.

The Public Service washington, D.
Co.: Patriotism and public revenue Is
linked together hand in hand, in the
strongest bonds OF relationship, which
binds our chain Of states together into
one great family, whose individual ne
cessities and luxuries are superintend-
ed by the greatest manager on earth,
namely, our own Uncle Samuel. With
out revenue patriotism would, indeed,
be but poor weakling and without
patriotism revenue would be- as 1t has
been, curse to many countries. Our
forefathers, thoughtfully inaugurated a
systematic revenue system, which
would, with our patriotic makeup,
produce people and q government not
equalled for strength and stability by
any land under the sun. The system Of
revenue taxes to maintain us as a
great. powerful nation. demands the
prime necessity of honest and COM
plete collection OF the same. The reve-
nue. service has frequently been In the
hands Of incompetent persons, yet no
great scandals have besmirched the
books In this most important branch.
With each Republican administration
we have seen this service grow more
diversified and intricate, and yet the
party has each time proven honest and
equal to the great increase and COM
pick character Of the department; while
now, at n period when every dollar must
be collected, We find, at the head OF
this great system man OF finance,
a successful business man, and giant
In intellect methodical man and one
who not alone: proposes. but sees to it
that every dollar due under our flag
shall be paid that the government at
Washington will always live. The off,
Ger who is now at the head Of this gil
gantic collection exchange is the Hon.
N. B. Scott. Of West Virginia man
whom It is an honor to know and n
pleasure to honor. The revenues to be
collected to prosecute the war is GER
, tainlv in safe and competent hands.
With. Hon. n. B. Scott at the helm
the system will be as perfect as human
brains can make It. President McKin-
ley has done the country good service
by appointing Mr.. Scott as commits
sioner Of internal revenue.

TO yindlcate the administrative branch
of the government from the charge OF
either an Intentional delay or the ham
perlng OF the naval commanders with
ordera." MY WA 3
Az the facts become known concern.
Ing the movements OF schley IN his
search forthe Spanish feet. the important
fact "a plain that the principal criticisms
and sneers at the war board and the
President were unfounded. It Is, for
Instance, stated anthoritively. that Com
modore schley, from the time he re-.
ceiyed his instructions to "and the Span
ish tlect1a and capture or destroy t." has
been entirely free to use his own judg-
ment. In other words, he. as oil other
commanders OF sauadrons are, was as
unhampered as was Dewey when no
sailed for Manila on q similar mission
and under like instructions. This Is
stated at Washington to have been tho
policy from the beginning OF the war.
Every development In the case OF the
flying squadron and the movements OF
sampson's fleet nus given the lie direct
to the Misrepresentation that have
been made, and proven unjust the crltl-
cisms aimed at the administration.
AS in the case OF naval movements, so
has It been in respect to the army, and
the plans for the INVASION OF Cuba and
Puerto Rico. The public has come to
pretty thoroughly understand the mag
nltude Of the task OF creating from
civilians. and with only a nucleus for a
regular army. an adequate, acclimated,
fully equipped and effective fighting
force Of 10000 men, for the purpose nc
the invasion and occupation OF a tropl-
cal country in the most unfavorablc sea-
son Of the year, and for our defcnscs.
and the criticisms OF the fault-nnders
are, therefore, having little effect. All
things considered, no country. placed
under like circumstances, and forced
into q war in a bad state OF unpreparcd-
ness, could have done better than what
this government has done in the COM
paratively brief time It has had to build
up an establishment that will insure
speedy success, from foundation which
had so many weak points.
Events now and hereafter are showing
and will show the wisdom Of the discre-
ton and the safety Of the policy con-
cernlng the army, and even the critics
are beginning TO admit It The begin
ming of the movement of the invading
army to strike the decisive blow at
Spanish supremacy on this hemisphere.
the latitude OF the operations of the
navy, and Its successes; the develop
ments that mus. surely be the outcome
OF the present condition. which Is the
result of logical moves and strategic
manoeuvering, all prove how inconslder-
ate and lacking in Judgment have been
the criticisms and the impatient effort
to force the hands Of those In responsible
places.

Critics Being Silenc;sd.

The important developments in the
news from the seat OF war during the
past three or four days have caused q
perceptble decrease Of the amount OF
unjust criticism which has been indulg-
ed In by certain partisan papers, and
few. others not SO partisan, but with
hot-headed and SinconsIderate writer's,
concerning the conduct OF the war. We
have been hearing o great deal lately;
from the curbstone orators and some
journals about the Incompetence OF
i the strategy board, and there have been
a great many reflections OF a vicious ma
gture upon tho President himself, be-
I cause the war has not beet settled in
thirty .days, and that all this Nation set
out to 90 10 a state OF virtual unpre-
parednees has not already been accom-
pllshed. II
81 Ono of the strong points Of these
critics has been that our neets in the
West indies have been ''hampsred by
ordero from Washington" and board Of
\ war and the President have been as
&aumed 10 be directing the movements
! of the commanders OF our fleets
beyond their rights to do 80. One OF our
esteemed city contemporaries, which
sometimes drawo its inspiration from
: the yellow Journals, has repeatedly, IN,
fits criticisms and aneers at the lntelll-
genccr's confidence in the wisdom OF Tho
men at The helm, regretted" that our
Commanders in Tho West Indles were
not left "frec TO exercise their own
Judgment. ns Dewey was" !.
These ;lnconeiderate criticisms were
based on false statements made by sen,
Saatlonalistu who, because they were bar
red from tho privileges Of knowing ali
about tho movements OF the fleets and
i the plans OF tho government imagined
4 NIL sorts 4 OF things. manufactured ali
varieties OF tales about orders that were
never issued, and mlsreprcsented the
i situation in every wny possible. But
the developments that arc occurring
1 every day now, arc not only proving
&falae many assertions concerning The
plans Of the war board. but are serving
