turbance on a Bayonne car last evening
about seven O'Clock and for a time the
passengers thought there would be sone

The Victory and It's Proper Sequel.

The glorious events of the last few
DAYS about Santiago prove once more
that the Americans are a people OF az
fion. Give them a chance to be up ana
doing. and they are sure to go ahead.
when we see how they do go ahead we
can only feel the deepest regret that the
hour Of action was so long delayed, and
so unnecessarily.
1t is to be hoped that all delay IS now
at an end. We should now go on from
one victory to another. The destruction
OF Admiral Cerverass feet ends the last
excuse for shilly-shally tactics There Is
no longer anything to fear in sending our
transports to sea. There is no longer
anything to embarrass us in sending a
squadron to the Spanish coast.
All the battleships can now be spared
for expeditionary purposes. The monitors
and the vesuvius are ample for the heavy
work of COMMANDMENT of Cuban and
Porto Rican ~strongholds. The auxiliary
fleet is sufficient to maintain the block

The two powerful cruisers, the New
York and Brooklyn, and the five battle
ships. the Iowa, Indiana, Oregon, Massa-
chusetts and Texas, with a sufficient sup
port in the way of fast despatch boats
should at once b. despatched to teach
the Spaniards a real lesson, a lesson that
would come home to them, a lesson that
would cure Premier sagasta of his foolish
pride and vainglory. and force him to
face the realities of the situation.
Even now the war can be ended in two
months If the administration goes about
