Our UnDreDaredness,

A few days ago Lord Wolseley, COM
mander-in-chiefo Of the British army,
expressed this opinion: cit is fortu-
nate for the United States that this
war is not with first class power, for
it is evident that in such an encounter
they would be badly beaten at the
beginning, though | believe the Amer
leans are able to defeat any nation
In the long run" There is no sensi-
bic American who does not agree
with the first part of the remark,
whether made by Lord Wolseley, or
made by somebody else, ornot made
at all. If we had got into war with
England over Venezuela our plight, for
several months at the shortest, would
have been bad. Everybody admits
this now. It is extremely curious
that SO few people would admit it, or
anything like it, at the time. All over
the country there were persons, by no
means fools, who joyfully hailed the
possibility of war. Most of the news
papers, we regret to say, were eX-
tremely belligerent.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE |, 1898.

THIS mornings papers contain re-
ports Of a naval engagement believed
to have taken place yesterday after
noon off Santiago de Cuba. Com
modOre Schley's flee t is said to have
bombarded the forts guarding the
entrance to the harbor, but with
what effect is not definitely known.
The engagement continued about two
hours and is reported to have been
hot one. The object of the attack
was to reduce the forts in order to
more safely gain access to Admiral
Cervera's squadron, which lies at
anchor in Santiago harbor. Fourteen
warships composed the American
forces.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1898-06-01

Among the good results of the war
with Spain will be the disappearance
of the notion that merely because we
are SO numerous, rich, ingenious, pro-
gressive and brave we can hope to
beat at the outset, without prepara-
ton, frst-class powers which have
for years been devoting themsel yes to
getting and keeping ready for war.
With the disappearance Of this notion
wemay fairly expect that our policy of
unpreparedness will be abandoned.
We shall have more ships and faster
ships. Many very cautious persons
will be sorry for this. They are afraid
that larger navy will certainly
tempt us to be more turbulent and
quarrelsome than we ever have been.
This is possible, Of course, but not
necessary. Even this war, though
comparatively speaking a small af
fair, will enable Americans who have
a little imagination to realize what
war with a frst-class power would be
like, and will tend to make us as I'M
willing as European nations to 60 to
war until we have convinced our
selves, after a period Of hard think
ing, that the game is worth the can
die. Lately we have fallen into the
idea of thinking that war is a thing to
be entered into lightly, with little pre-
paration. The war with Spain, if it
should end tomorrow, would have
lasted long enough to convince us
that this was a Observation-Disclosures
Sentinel.

DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE.
Plan of Commissioner Beach IndOrs-
ed by His Associates.


During the recent visit of Capt. Beach,
the District Engineer Commissioner, to
Boston. BrocKton. Mass, and Providence.
r. l., he inspected the sewage pumping
stations, the precipitation works and the
filtration beds of the sewer systems of those
cities. AS has been heretofore explained in
The Star, Congress has appropriated $4,000
for the preparation of plans for a sewage
pumping station at the foot of New Jersey
avenue, and itiwas in connection with these
plans that Capt. Beach made his trip north.
1t is proposed to pump the sewage across
and under the Eastern branch from the
point mentioned. and then raised to such
height as would cause the sewage, by nat
ural Sravitation, to flow into the river, sew
eral miles below 1t is believed the sewage
can be carried across the hills at less expense
than it would cost to precipitate il. These
plans have been fully explained by Capt.
Beach to the board of trade on more than
one OCCASION. and also in The Star, as we'll
as the terrible conditions existing because
of lack of their completion. 1t is the pur-
pose of the Commissioners to use every
effort to secure the necessary appropriations
at the coming session of Congress- if pos
sible.

COMMODORE PHILIPS PROTEST.
He Claims That He Has Not Been Adj
NanCed Five Numbers.

Protests continue to be made against the
manner of the recent advancement of Off
GERS of the navy on account of services in
the war with Spain. One of the latest is
from Commodore j. w. Philip, command
ing the second division of the North ATTAIN
tie heet. IN communication to the Sec
rotary Of the Navy he represents that he
has not been advanced five numbers as
directed by the President, but only Two.
He holds that he has been placed just be-
low Commodore j. c. Watson on the naval
list. while an actual advance of five num-
tcrs would have placed MIN above that off
Ger, and just below Commodore G.. c.
Remsy. If given the latter place, Com
nodore Philip would reach the grade of
rear admiral in 1899, whereas, under the
present conditions, he will not reach that
grade until 1901. in making his advance
1.ent, the department considered that
ramed five officers: Commodores Robson,
s. hley, Casey and Sampson and Capt Pick
ing.
On the other hand. Commodore Philip
contends that CommodoreS Sampson and
Schley were advanced 10 the grade of rear
admiral before such action was taken in
his case, and that in any event he .+as enti-
tied to the two numbers which their pro-
motions created in the grade OF comrlo-
dorc. and should have bean ''junrcd" over
Commodores Farquhar, Watson, Robson,
Casey and Cromwell.

OFFICIALS HELD AS HOSTAGES.


MlNNEAPO1IlS, Mimi, october IA
special to the Journal from Walker. Mimi,
says: There is intense excitement here. a
story has come in that United States Mar
shall O'Connor and Inspector Tinker have
been captured by the Bear Island Pilager
Indians and held as hostages. Early today
two emissaries from the Bear Islanders put
in an appearance and announced that the
bucks for whom warrants had been issued
would surrender provided that the entire
tribe BE permitted to confer with Marshal
OConnor and the inspector.
The officers were advised not to trust to
the representations of the Indians, who
stipulated that they would not treat vita
the whites If any other persons than the
niarshals and the inspectors went to the
is.aLd. OConnor and Tinker at once made
arrangements to leave. Half an nour after
their departure some of the Indians about
town began boasting that they would never
return.
No stock was taken in these assertions at
first, but as lhe talk became louder it be-
gan to he believed that Il preconcerted plan
of the Indians for the capture Of the two
officials had been carried out. The distance
to Bear Island by steamer is about thirty
miles Both the marshal and inspector
went entirely unarmed.
The arrival of General Bacon with rein
forcements from Fort Smelling this even
ing is anxiously awaited

OFFICIALS OBSERVE SILENCE.
But 1t is believed THAT CIa ms Tur-
key for Indemnity viii BE Pressed.

Although the officials of the State Depart
ment observe profound silence on the sub
ject. there is reason for the belief that Mr.
Straus the new minister to Turkey, VINO is
now we'll on his way to COnstantinOple, has
been instructed to insist upon a prompt
settlement OF the long pending claims for
indemnity for damages to American mis-
sion property in Turkey. 1t is reported that
Minister Straus has also been instructed to
obtain, if possible, authority for the ap-
pointment of United States consuls al all
ports CT the Ottoman empire. and the full
protection of naturaliZed Americans in
Turkish territory. 1t is also understood
that Mr. Straus has been directed to sug
gest the advisability of advancing the dip
lomatic representatives of the two coun-
tries at Washington and at Constantinopie
to the grade OF ambassadors.
1t has been commented upon as some
what singular that Mr.. Angel, the retir-
ing minister to Turkey. failed to visit
Washington on his recent return to the
United States. having gone direct from New
York to his Michigan home. without a call
upon the President or the Secretary Of
State. 1t is possible, however. that he has
made d full report IN writing to the chief
executive i'll regard to his mission to
Turkey.

HICHBORN FAVORS BOSTON.
The Proposed Transfer OF the Course
in Naval Architecture.

Commodore HichbCrn, chief of. the bu-
reau of construction, takes Issus with Capt.
Dickins of the bureau of navigation regard
ing the proposed transfer of the post-gr2d
uate course of naval architecture from the
Naval Academy to the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology at Boston Capt
Dickins, who visited the Boston institu-
ton, reported against the proposed transfer
on the bread ground that it would serve
no good purpose and WAS contrary 20 the
principles and usaSes of the navy.
Chic Constructor HichbCrn considers
that the Boston Institution is better aIap.-
ca to the purpose than the academy as
how organized, for the reason that ii pro
vidcS Il more extended course Of inst; Tic
ton with a larger corps of professors, aI!d
further because the proximity OF the navy
yard at Boston would enable the naval
students to obtain Il more practical insight
into the art OF ship construction than is
possible at Annapolis.
He says that il the course Is continued
at the Naval Academy it will be necessary
10 send the students to the various naval
stations at great cost TO get this practical
knowledge.
Meanwhile the question awaits the decis-
ion OF the Secretary of the Navy. Naval
Constructor Hobson had charge of this
course last year and will be again put in
charge. if he SO desires, after his return
from Cuba.

TROOPS TO LIVE IN CAMPS.
Why the plan is Preferable to Rar-

that they shall be in open camps. in

ting soldiers for active service in the field
Moreover, the discipline of troops near
