While glorifying over the lombard
ment and capture of San Juan, which
adds a rich island to the territory of
Uncle Sam, We must not lose sight of
a smaller, but still important, fight and
capture, which is all the more welcome
since it gives us revenge for the deaths
of Ensign Bagley and four of the Wins
lows crew off Cardenas the other day.
The evaporation felt in the Navy and
everywhere else in America on account
of that event has been the greater be-
cause of belief that 1t was the work
of expert French gunners, landed at
Havana by the steamship Lafayette,
which we allowed to break the block
ade as an act of courtesy to friendly
government.
AS far as that Is possible. it has been
repaid by the bombardment and sur
render Of Cardenas yesterday. Accord
ing to the dispatches, the action began
at daylight. and in two hours thereafter
the batteries were destroyed and the
white flag was floating from the staff
on the town hall. At noon the place
was occupied by a landing force Of ma

All doubt as to the whereabouts of
the Spanish Cape Verde squadron un-
der Admiral Villamil has at last been
dispelled by the confirmed news that
it has arrived at the island of Martin
ique. 1t has taken thirteen days for 1t
to cover the 2.4S6 miles from its start

which would indicate that it has not
steamed across the Atlantic at speed
exceeding seven knots an hour. AT
the same rate, supposing that it will
start at once for San Juan, the distance
would be covered in two days, and.
consequently, it should encounter the
squadron of Admiral Sampson off Porto
Rico tomorrow night.
The Navy Department was much re.
lieved this morning to receive a cable
from Admin al Sampson announcing his
knowledge that the enemy had been
sighted off St Pierre, Martinique. 1t
was assumed before the bombardment
that. being forewarned of Viilamirs ap-
proach, Sampson would allow him to
enter San Juan harbor and then bottle
him up; but that course probably would
not be followed, as the position has
been captured The chances are, there
fore, that what may be the decisive
fight of the war will take place Sat
urday night OF Sunday morning in the
open sea off the new American port.
AS We have frequently remarked, the
result of the engagement may be re-
garded as a foregone conclusion. Our
squadron outclasses that of the Span
iards in every way. and il 1t were not
SO. the superiority of American intelli-
gence. discipline and gunnery would
give us the victory. The prospect that,
during the next sixty hours, We shall
infiict a crushing blow upon Spain EN-
phasizes the necessity for haste in TAX
ing Havana and occupying the Island
of Cuba before any peace proposition
can be formulated and presented. We
are glad to see that our Government
appears to be alive to that fact. and is
hurrying arrangements for the inva-
sion as rapidly as possible. The bonn
bardment and occupation Of Cardenas
places in our possession splendid
base for land operations. and there does
not now appear to be anything to him
der the landing of troops, supplies and
munitions Of war or the north coast.
1t is possible, however, that Cardenas
may be considered too remote from Ha-
vana for immediate military purposes,
and that a port nearer by may be re-
duced before the troops are put ashore.

The early news came by way of Glen

five o'clock the cable between the two

by our people. An official report OF the

can reach there.

With the inspriting legend, Re
member the Maine" fiuttering in the
breeze from Admiral SIMPSONS flag
ship, that brave commander attacked
San JUAN Porto Rico, little after day
light yesterday morning. and in few
hours the defenses of the position were
heaped in ruins. 1t is a logical in
ference, which is likely TO be substan-
tiated before we go to press. that the
city surrendered before night as. with
its fortifications demolished, it was at
the mercy of our squadron.
Another strange chapter is added to
the book of naval history. Although
the defenses of San Juan were regard
ed by the Sraniards as strong and ef-
fective. if not impregnable to sea at
tack, they melted away under the with
ering fire of twelve and thirteen nch
guns from our battleships and monitors
like ice in a furnace. The enemy fought
bravely, but TO little purpose. One man
only was killed on the flagship New
York, and a few wounded, while sever
al We're wounded on the Iowa. There
were no other casualties. On the other
hand. the Spanish mortality must have
been great in proportion to the numbers
engaged, as our shells, bursting within
the Morro Castle and other forts, filled
with artillerists, could not fail to carry
wholesale death and destruction.
1t will be noted that the action at
San Juan is the first under modern
naval conditions in which the American
monitor type of fighting craft has been
employed, and. from the first accounts
of the battle, We judge that the use
fulness of the class has been demon
strated beyond cavil. Lying low in the
water, and presenting the smallest tar
get to a foe, yet armed with guns of
large calber and terrible power, the
utility of the monitor, especially in
harbor attack or defense. appears to
have been settled conclusively at San
Juan. Within a day or two, proba bly,,
there will be another opportunity to
Judge of its efficiency in a straight-out
sea fight against powerful war vessels.
Admiral Sampson and his officers and
men are to be congratulated upon their
victory. He and they have still the
harder part of their glorious task to
perform. If they are as successful in
the impending combat with the Span
ish Cape Verde fleet as they have been
at San Juan, the honors will be even be-
tween them and the heroes of Manila
harbor.
The nation waits with bated breath
for the next great war news from the
West Indies!
