Colonel Hay has set so high a standard and proved lso conclusively that the American am- bassador is not necessarily petted and spoiled by English diplomacy and con- demned to sacrifice his popularity and usefulness in his own country, that there is great interest here in the ap- ipointment of his successor.
 One thing which is considered indls- pensable is that the new ambassador |shculd not be without diplomatic ex- perience, but be familiar with the usage and conventions of European capitals. All the best informed writ CTS for the press refer to Colonel Hays diplomatic training es one of the se- |crets of his success, and lay stress on the fact that the United States, in en- tering upon new career of expansion, should be represented here by an am- bassador who has practical knowledge of the business of diplomacy, and is capable of meeting European diplo-
 matists on their own ground. The names of the several candidates men, toned in New York dispatches have been freely and even critically consid- cred by the English press While this
 discussion has ben premature, 1t has disclosed marked preference for MT. Whitelaw Reid, in consequence Of his prominence last year as special ambas- sador, and his diplomatic experience in Paris. The Daily Chronicle has been

 Some English writers refer to the pecuniary sacrifice which Colonel Hay will make in accepting an office in Washington with a smaller salary than he has been receiving. They do not seem to understand that the living expenses of any ambassador here are four or five times his official salary, and that only men of great wealth can afford to take this office Colonel Hays

was a battle royal on before the
destroyers were aware what they
had tackled. The Corsair was
struck time and again (she is the
only American vessel reported
damaged), but both destroyers
were set afire, and both had to
be beached. AS they struck the
beach one exploded with a terrific
crash. Her crew, those who
were able, had thrown them,
selves into the surf, and were
struggling ashore when the crash
came.
1t was just before this that the
