A Word with Advertisers. .

Newcomb Cleveland in Printers
Ink says;
'If there are three papers in a
town the strongest one is the least
willing to cut itsrates. The poor
est one is the most willing. But
the leading papers are just those
an advertiser should use. What
he wants is value for his money,
and the chances are that he would
get better returns from the repre-
sentative paper of town, of large
circulation and influence, at full
rate, than he would from a strug-
Cling sheet, of inferior grado at
half rates.

HUMILlATING.

Inc iollOWlhg account OF INT
behavior Of certain members Of the
Mississippi regiments lately quar-
tered at Columbia, Tenn, is NOR
tifying in the extreme. 1t is moi
possible that such statement
would be made by reputable
newspaper unless there was iustif-
cation for 1t, and the conduct of
the lawless element Of these troops
will be learned with deep regret
by the whole State on which they
brought such diScredit:
'The first day of their coming
was characterized by such shame
full disorder and riotous conduct as
this town has never seen before,
and we pray may never see again,
Not only that day, but any day and
every day, they picked quarrels
with our negro citizens, and upon
the slightest proyocation or with
no provocation, fell to beating
them numerically. They would
line themselves on the sidewalks
and jeer at countrymen as they
passed, tip their hats to ladies' with
the most familiar air, and break
into loud laughs at some remarks
one OF their number had made. |
They have done a thousand little |
things not worth noticing or re-
senting, yet at the same tine pro-
and offensive. Andln ad-
dition to all this, the worse ele-
ment it seems were always On the
streets, and their ribald Qaths,
even when they were sober, vas
nuisance.
Their general conduct was 6uch
that many of the ladies of thel
town and county-a majority it
may be safely said preferred to
postpone their Christmas shop
ping until the soldiers had left
Columbia, rather than be stared at
and laughed at and bowed at by
hem. That comparatively few

vARDAMAN on CUBA.

Il never saw much sickness be-
fore. When we got to Santiago
on August y shafter's army was
just leaving it, The first order
we received from Shafter was to
send him team5ters. He had hard.

sick. There were all sorts of dis
eases-smallpox, yellow feyer,
malarial fever, pernicious fever,
enteric fever, dysentery, measles
and everything you can think of.
Our boys suffered badly and We
had numbers of sick, although
few were fatally so. For the last
twelve months the health has been
much improved, and the condition
OF the boys is alright. But what
some Of the men suffered only
God Almighty and the boys them
selves can tell.
All Of the order and condition Of
the province have been produced
by Gen. Wood, This was has

simply wonderful, and it looks now |

SPANISH VIEW OF OUR NAVY.
Castilian Expert Writes of United
States Warships As Mere Tubs.

Chicago Chronicle: 1t seems almost
incredible that the Spaniards should
really consider their fleet now in the
Caribbean sea superior to anything we
can send against it. yetasuch seems to
be the case. If they believe the COM
PARSONS of the two navies made by
their newspapers. they are logically
correct their conclusions.
These articles, writes by Spanish ma
val experts, appeal strongly to a. credu-
lous people and represent our warships
as absolutely valueless, while their own
are simply marvels. A de Canta, the
most popular naval writer in Spain,
makes a recent comparison in La Illus
TRACTION NaciOnal of Madrid that is suf-
heient TO inspire his countrymen with
confidence.
He admits that the United States
have the larger fleet. but shows that it
is practically valueless. 1T is manned
by the dregs of an almost worthless
Observation-Disclosures and released con-
victs. For the most part these are for
eigners, without the slightest patriot
ism The crews. being animated by
motives of cupidity alone, are destitute
of that pride and enthusiasm that con-
trolls Spaniards." For these reasons,
Mr.. Canta concludes: THE result is.
therefore, that if our navy is inferior
to the American navy in quantity it is
greatly superior in quality. since our
sailors in addition to their transcend
ent bravery which is universally ac-
knOwledged, possess discipline. enthu-
siasm and confidence, which the Yam
KEGS are far from having"
Having demonstrated the utter
worthless character of the sailors who
man our ships, the rival of Weyler and
Munchausen in the art of lying goes
on to compare the ships of the two ma
vies. describing that of Spain as made
up of ships of faultleSS construction,
armored and armed to suit the taste
of the queen regent, marVelS of speed,
and veritable things of beauty.
Words almost fail him when he be-
gins a sanguinary attack upon our
ships. He declares that the battleships
Indiana, Oregon and Massachusetts,,
which he calls cruisers of the first class,
cannot go to sea with anything like
full coal bunkers. If they should. the
waves would wash over Them" They
are only suitable for coast guards The
recent sailing record of the oregon
somewhat discreditS this criticism.
He says the battleships California
and Pennsylvania are under cOnstruc-
ton, which will be news to Americans.
He declares the Texas to be wOefully
deficient Her machinery is bad-be-
yond repairing-her torpedo tubes are
useless. She is a bad lot"
The only American ship of which he
speaks kindly is the Brooklyn. He
says she is fast, and can. therefore. re-
fuse to fight at WILL" a point which
the Spaniards in the Caribbean appear
to appreciate

ADMIRAL CERyERA'S REPORT
Examined by Our Government Be
fore It Was Forwarded.

Washington. July 29.-Admiral Cervera
has forwarded to the Spanish government,
through the French embassy. his full re-
port OF the naval engagement which re-
suited in the humiliation of the Spanish
fleet. Through the vicissitudes of war,
Admiral Cerveras report. although ad-
dressed to the Spanish minister of ma
rine, was submitted first to the American
department. in order that precautions
might be taken. as usual in communca-
tons passing between the prisoners of
war and the enemy's government. The
examination was solely for purposes OF
precs.xtiD and care was taken ipt to in
trude .:lto the privacy of the document
beyond the necessary inspection. 1t was
then sent to Ambassador CamboE, to be
forwarded to the Spanish admiralty. The
stTictest secrecy has been observed and in
order to avoid conjectural stories as TO
the contents of the report, 1t can be stated
that no intimation as to its contents has
been allowed TO escape the lew persons
through whom it passed en- route to the
Spanish minister of marine. If the Ger
vera report ever reaches the public it
will be through the Spanish government
though it is probable that the report is
not of a character likely to be made public
at Madrid
