Washington. May 21.-All Of the news
that was given out yesterday at the
navy department was comprised in the
one short bulletin posted at the close of
the day stating that the department
had information. believed to be authen-
tic. that Admiral Cervera, with his
Spanish flying squadron, was at Santia-
go de Cuba. This went to confirm the
newspaper reports and also the Madrid
cablegram published yesterday-the lat
ter rather unusual circumstance, for
the Spanish bulletins have been notably
deceptive ever since the flying squadron
left Cadiz. Accepting this statement as
correct it indicates that there is little
probability of a hostile meeting between
Sampson or Schley and Cervera imme-
diately. The experts soon discovered
that Santiago de Cuba harbor would be

Another transport was secured yester-
day, and the department is showing a
disposition to treat General Merritt with
utmost liberallty in the equipment OF
his force. 1t is expected that the ad-

o,r colotsd Troop, in war.

Many comments Of most favorable
nature have been paid the colored
troops for their gaIlantry in action at
Santiago, by our military comman-
ders and the writer's for the press who
had opportunities to witness their con-
duct In the most trying times of that
shor. but memorable campaign. Cen
erals shafter, Wheeler. Miles and others,
have not omitted to pay them tribute
and recently Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt, in delivering a farewell address
to his Rough Riders. took occasion to
nav an eloquent tribute to the heroisn
Of the colored cavalry. 1t is also a no.
table fact that the private soldiers OF
the regular and volunteer armies. who
we're brought in contac; with the coun-
try's colored troops, speak in the high
est terms OF their conduct.
It is perhaps true. as the New York
Times suggests, that this is feature
Of the war which has not received as
much attention as IT has deserved. but
tha, is no, the fault of our military
officers. for they have been unanimous
in giving the deserved tribute, one CT
them calling especial attention, no; only
to the action Of these troops In battle,
but to their splendid discipline. their In
difference to the climatic dangers, to
their rnselfsh and voluntary aid to fe-
yer-stricken white troops, their patriot.
Ism and their general all-around EN-
cheney.
1t is subject OF some comment shat
one OF the effects OF these facts is tina;
muca prejudice of a racial character
was wiped out in the army It is said
that the black and white troops have
really ffaternlzed, and that, according
to a writer in the contemporary above
mentioned. ",o a degree which once
would have seemed impossible, racial
prejudicer have been swept aside by
cordial recognition on the part of the
white soldiers that the black ones were
men as capable as themselves OF ener-
gctIc heroism. At Montauk Point and
on the Long Island trains proof OF this
new feeling has been given In number
less nstanccs."

lisa pleasure to note that the fall
term Of the State University Will open
this year with the largest attendance in
the history Of the Institution. Just after
the close of the summer quarter, which
has proven a successful experiment, two
hundred persons having attended the
course. The highest tribute to the man
agement OF the University. and to the
administration Of President Raymond,
Is found in the fact that in this summer
course the attendance represented thIr-
teen states OF the Union and thirty-One
of the fifty-hve counties OF West yir-
glnla. 1t is significant of the broaden
ing influence OF the chief educational in
stltution Of the state that It Is attracting
so much attention from abroad, and
securing the patronage Of states which
have splendid colleges and universities
of their own. It may be a revelation TO
some Of cur citizens that the neighbour
ing state of Pennsylvania alone fur
nlshed sixty-six students to our Univer-
sIty, which last year experienced the
most successful period in It's history.
The University has passed the college
stage. It is a university in the fullest
sense of the term, and is rapidly taking
It's place in the ranks Of the higher In
sttutions of learning. The best testi-
moniaI Of the truth of this statement
Is found in the attendance from other
states. 1t is a vindication of Its admin
istration and of the policy 1t is pursuing.
Much Of the growth of attendance, we
are glad to say, is due to the work which
has been done by the field agent. Mr..
Barbe, whose industry and energy have
borne splendid fruit. 1t was a wise move
Of the board of regents when It estab-
lIshed that office. for It has paid its
way.
The showing which the University
has made and is making should be a
matter of state pride. for a common
wealth is known by the character OF Its
educational institutions. and the reputa-
ton they enjoy beyond the limits Of the
state boundaries. The progress and the
general improvement OF West Virginia
in these respects are not confined to the
University. They are notable in our
entire public school system, from the
several normal institutions to the dis
trict schools, and in the numerous pri-
vate and UNCONVENTIONAL colleges and
semInaries.
While West Virginia Is advancing all
along the line, commercially. indus
trially, agriculturally. and especially in
the development of its vast coal re-
sources, which arc second to none to any
state in the Unlor, the people are not
neglecting that which Is among the i'm
portant bases Of all civilization, the
educational facilities for the rising gen
erations, on advanced lines. Every dol
lar spent by the state for the welfare
of the public schools and other educa-
tlonal institutions is repaid many fold.
The history OF the progress Of the most
advanced states in the Union Is INSOFAR
ably connected with progressive edu-
catIonal policy. West Virginia knows
II. for she is realizing 1t each year. The
people find It's impress within their own
homes, and in the tone and culture and
refinement Of their communities, from
the humbles. of them to the wealthlest.
