hidden gunboats and masked batteries
turned all their fire on the little torpedo
boat. of which they seemed to be par

ground and answered as best she could

! until a chance shot exploded her boil
ers and rendered her helpless.
Then it was, while the brave young
Ensign and a number of the gallant
crew stood fearlessly on deck amid this
hell of fire endeavcring to reach line
from the Hudson, that shell exploded
directly in their midst killing Ensign
Bagley and four of the crew, and
wounding several others, including tbs
commanding officer, Lieut.. Bernandou.
This disaster is the first serious mis-
hap to the Americans since the Infamous
murder of the crew OF the Maine in
Havana harbor, and was evidently due
more to accident than skillful design
on the part of the Spanish gunners, for
it was a chance shot that exploded the
Wirslow's boilers, leaving her adrift

their escape to nothing but bad Span

The impression seems to prevail at
Washington that it was a mistake to
employ such shells as the Winslow
in the hazardous work of destroying
shore batteries. 1t is pity this truth
was not discovered before the disas-
ter to her and her brave crew. Here
after heavier vessels will probably be
used for this work. We should not
hold the Spaniards so cheaply as to
become reckless in attacking their
strongholds.

tXHAI. AIIlS FRANCE.

The French are such queer people
and get such queer notions into their
heads that one is hardly surprised
to find them flying off at an odd tan
gent against the United States in the
present war Still, France being
pioneer republic and Spain one of the
worst representatives of monarchial
ule, one would suppose that Frances
sympathy would naturally be with
he United States-a sister Republic.
t is explained that French hostility
ial grounds, the French being large
holders of Spanish bonds, but while
his would explain the attitude toward
he United States of the French gov
eminent and financial circles, it would
hardly account for the strong anti
American feeling among the French
people. which shows itself in gross
oyercharges of all kinds to American
tourists by the Partisan shopkeepers-
although this is no new thing-and
by the insolent jostling of Americans
in the streets by French crowds the
Insulting epithets applied to them, and
the openly expressed sympathy for
Spain. Americans returning from
France advise American tourists VINO
desire peace and comfort to omit
France from their European wander
ings this year.
Whatever may be the cause Of this
ill-feeling, the fact of its existence is
sufficiently well established to cause
Washington to view with suspicion
every movement made by France dur
ing the continuance of this war. It
is not altogether improbable that per-
sistent efforts will be made to find for
the Paris government an excuse for
interfering before we have settled with
Spain.
Except as 1t would disturb the whole
world more, the United States would
not have cause to dread a war with
France much more than with Spain.
Frances navy in point of tonnage is
second in the world, but in point of
effectiveness there is good reason TO
believe that it is not superior to ours
as at present projected. French sea-
men have never attained high rank,
and with such widely scattered colon
ial possessions to guard France could
not concentrate an overwhelming
force against us in the Eastern Pa
cific or Western Atlantic. Besides 1t
is not certain that Great Britain
would not see a cause for taking a
hand
In that event French interests in
China would be menaced from the
opening of hostilities. In the Philip
pines we now have a point of vantage
that lies dangerously close to Tonqun
and Cochin China. From this base we
could wage killing war on the French
interests in Asia. While bombarding
Tonquin and Cochin China. our ships
could be playing havoc with the
French possessions in the caribbean
Sea. and before we quit fighting we
might conclude to seize the Panama
canal, which French corruption and
incompetency have left in an uncom-
