Mr.. w. I'll. Wilson, an English pava
writer and expert second only to Cap-
tain Mahan, in an article in the "Pal
Mall Magazine" for the current month
puts naval operations in the West Indies
in this rather original way:
The great British superiority in bat.
tleships and in unarmored cruisers as
against France is faithfully reproduced
in the American navy as against Spain.
The great French advantage in armored
cruisers finds it's parallel in the Spanish
navy. Even in torpedo craft the mum.
erical equality which exists between
England and France is repeated with
some correctness in the two combatant
navies. Thus all conditions are favora.
BILE to a trial of our race. Upon the
conduct of Admiral Sampson and Com
modore Schley's officers and blue jack
cts depends not merely the honor of the
United States, but the very existence OF
the British Empire. If the men who are
hourly expecting battle in the Carrib-
bean falter, il they show any want OF
courage or sailormanship--which God
forbid-then let us be certain that an
attack will be delivered upon England
by her enemies, who will conclude, and
not unjustly, that the military qualities
of the Anglo Saxon have declined under
the depressing burden of civilization
And as this is the greatest problem to be
settled in the war, so we shall hope and
pray that our race may emerge with
glory from the test.

BUSINESS THEN AND NOW.

The Ohio Bimetallist published al
Bellaire, Ohio, in long and able article
makes the following deductions:
The clearing house banks do less than
half the business, based on population,
in 1897 than they did in 1869.
They do six billions less actual busi-
ness, with nearly double the population
in 1897 than in 1869.
They did sixty per cent more business
in the six years after silver coinage was
begun, than in the five years after silver
was demonetized.
They did twenty-five per cent more
business in the five years before the re-
peal of the Sherman than in the four
years since its repeal.
ls 1t not clear from these bank trans.
actions, that liberal coinage of silver
has had beneficial relation to businessP
And is 1t not apparent that this war
against silver has been ruinous to bust
nessP 1aH.t rH.

MIR. BRYAN OPPOSED TO CONQUEST

On Tuesday the l4th, William j. Bry.
an was the principal speaker at the ded-
icatiop OF the Nebraska building at the
Omaha exposition.
He declared himself decidedly on the
war issue, claimed the war was for hui
manity and not for conquest and the
extension of United States territory.
He said this nation only took up arms
when it was compelled to choose be-
tween war and servile acquiesence in
crueltles which would have been dis
grace to barbarism. He continued:
''If contest undertaken for the sake
OF humanity degenerates into war Of
conquest, we shall find it difficult to
meet the charge of having added hy-
pocrisy to greed. Is our national char.
acter so weak that we cannot Withstand
the temptation to appropriate the first
piece of land that comes within our
reach? To inflict upon the enemy all
possible harm is legitimate warfare, but
shall we contemplate scheme for the
colonization of the Orient merely be-
cause our feet won remarkable victory
in the harbor of Manila? Our guns de.
stroyed Spanish fleet, but can they de-
stroy that self-evident truth that gov
ernmepts derive their just powers, not
from superior force, but from the CON
sent OF the governed ? Shall we aban.
don a just resistance to European en-
croachment upon the western hemis'
phere in order to mingle in the contro-
versies of Europe and Asia?
Nebraska will hold up the hands oil
the government while the battle RACES,
and when the war clouds clear away her
voice will be heard pleading for the
maintenance of those ideas which in
spired the fodnders of our government
and gave the Nation its proud eminence
among the nations of the earth. II
others turn to thoughts of aggrandize-
ment and yield allegiance to those who
clothe land-covetousness in the attract
i've garb of National destiny the peo-
Pile of Nebraska will, if / mistake not
their sentiments, plant themselves upon
the disclaimer entered by congress and
expect that good faith shall characterize
the making Of peace as 1t did the begin
ming of war. If some dream of the
splendors OF heterogeneous empire en-.
circling the globe, we shall be content to
aid in bringing enduring happiness to q
homogeneous people, consecrated to the
purpose OF maintaining a government
Of the people, by the people and for the
people ~.

Of late the gold standard organs are
not saying so much as to the "wheat
and silver" argument. The fall in the
price of wheat and the prospect of good
crops over the world have changed the
tune Of the bond-gold organs. The
drop In price from 81 rs a bushel to
away below a dollar is a lesson to set
people thinking. The failure in the
wheat crop last year, in Europe and
South America raised the price and the
grain gamblers helped greatly at times.

ton.
The coast in the vicinity of Guanta.
namo is dotted with the bright hued
Cuban flag. Numerous camps of the
insurgents which have been established
along the beach between Santiago and
this place are used by the admiral as
means of communication with the Gu.
bans in the interior. The aid which
these men have given has proved highly
valuable to the Americans.
Another body of five Spaniards were
captured yesterday by Ensign A. A.
Pratt of the Marblehead while cruising
in steam launch. They were in r
sloop.
There was brief bombardment Of q
blockhouse up the bay by the bastleship
Oregon yesterday and ii is believed that
during the firing at least score OF
Spaniards were killed. Scouting par
ties report that the blockhouse was com
pletely destroyed, but that they were
unable to discover any bodies, the re
mains of the soldiers who had beer
killed probably having been carried of
by their comrades.
Late this afternoon the flagship New
York returned to the feet off Santiago

The marines are growing very rest
less owing to the delay in the arrival o
the reinforoements of the troops, but i
is generally believed here that the trans
ports will reach Santiago not later thar
Monday.

Spaniards. While this will not prevent
landing close to Santiago, 1t may en-.
tail considerable delay, as the surround.
ing country must be thoroughly shelled
and cleared before the troops can land
in safety.
When Rear Admiral Sampson yester-
day received advices that upward of 80
transports would be here today (Satur.
day., he sent word that they should
stand to the south ten miles and lie
there until landing place had been
secured.
Yesterday at daylight the launches of
the New York and the Massachusetts
reconnoitered the shore between Ca
banas, two miles west of the entrance
to Santiago harbor, and Guayaganaco,
two miles further west, both of which
points lie east of the range of the
mountains surrounding Santiago bay.
The launches pushed their noses into
q hornets nest. The brush was fairly
alive with Spanish troops, infantry and
cavalry and the fire opened upon the
launches was so fierce that their retreat
had to be covered by the Vixen and the
Texas.
When the Texas asked permission of
Commodore Schley to take hand the
commodore seized the megaphone and
shouted to Captain Philip: "Yes, go
in and give 'em Jack. The Texas
landed several 4-inch shells on the bat
terry at Cabanas, completely demolish.
ing it. Lieutenant Sharpe Of the Vixen
and Lieutenant Harlow, in command
of the launches, were both compli.

lantry.
1t is believed that the insurgents who
are in force under the command of
General Garcia, about Is miles west,
will render effective aid in driving the
Spanish skirmisheys off the shore.
