Nothing but praise is accorded any
where to Secretary Longs declaration
that the three new battleships author
lied by the last Congress must have
the greatest attainable speed. To
have permitted these coming access
sions to our navy to be handicapped
by inability to exceed a 16-knot rate
when warships built here for other
countries are good for IS knots in bat
tleships, would have been grave
blunder indeed. In a supplementary
circular to bidders the secretary of the
navy says that special preference will
be given, other things being equal, to
such bids as offer to guarantee the
highest rate of speed and greatest coal
endurance. We have no sort of doubt
that the constructors of our new war
ships Will strive to excel even the
splendid work which is already Set

builders. This country wants the fast

can devise, and it ought to get them.

The War to AUGUST First.

The Spanish war is not finished, but
it is ended 50 far as Spain is concerned.
From this point forward peace, not
war, will hold the center of the stage.
Just at this time, when Spain. through
the ambassador of a friendly power,
sues for peace, it may be interesting
to take a cursory backward glance
over the exciting events of the last
three months.
A birdseye view of the war pre-
sents an amazing spectacle. April %
the Congress fthe United States pass
ed a resolution declaring war; three
months later, July &c, Spain asked for
peace. Within those three months the
United States organized. equipped and
modified a formidable army and
waged successful warfare in two hem
ispheres, being uniformly successful
in all military operations on land and
sea.
Here are a few of the net results:
The Spanish navy has been practically
destroyed Thirty-five war ships of
the enemy, valued at SEC, 100000, have
been wiped out, as follows: At Man.
lila. II, at Santiago g. at Manzanillo g.
Cardenas ,, at Mariel l. And this has
been accomplished substantially with
out American losses. Only one Amer
lean vessel, the torpedo boat Winslow,
was even temporarily disabled, and
the Winslow was easily repaired
within a few days and returned to
blockade duty.
Unless the pending peace negotia-
tons lead to different conclusion the
war will result in adding to United
States territory at least a naval sta
ton and port in the Philippine Is
lands, the Ladrone Islands and Caro-
Inns Islands and Porto Rico. Cuba
will be free. An entire province of
Cuba, comprising 5000 square miles,
already is under the American flag.
The American losses, not counting
the victims of the Inflated Maine, thus
far aggregate 266 killed almost exact
ly the number murdered on the Maine,
and about 400 wounded only a very
small proportion of the latter will be
permanently disabled. A few score
have died of sickness in the camps in
this country and Cuba The Spanish
losses aggregate over 2000 killed and
about 5000 wounded. In the province
of Santiago $4,000 Spanish prisoners
have been taken; Dewey has about
2000 more at Manila, and about 1000
Spanish sailors are in our hands.
The actual expenses of the war up
to date aggregate about $145, 900 900,
and the entire American army num-
beers 27S.500 men. although 4 very large
proportion of these troops, now under
arms and ready for service, have not
been sent TO the front

prisoners will start very soon. AS yet,

1mmeaiatelv following the loss of La

Immediately following the losssof La
Bourgogne, the steamer Delaware was
burned at sea, off the Jersey coast, her
crew and passengers being saved as II
by miracle, but there was no panic
and no story of disgraceful conduct on
the part of her sailors. On Wednesday
the steamer Ardanhu came into New
York with fire raging in her hold,
where it had been burning for three
days. 1t seemed impossible at one
time to save the ship, and the boats
were prepared for use, but in such a
methodical way that nobody need
have suffered discomfort while in
them. n few Storage passengers be-
came panic stricken and made a rush
for the boats. but were driven out at
the points of the officers revolvers
while the crew worked herocally to
fight the fire, and never a man left
his post. These occurrences coming so
close together, make strong contrasts
in the behavior of seamen of different
nationalities, and emphasize the value
of discipline on shipboard. The Off
GERS and men of the Delaware and
Ardanhu are Americans and English
men.
