Its Value in Warfare Has Been
Proved.
"A lesson that has been learned from
this war said naval authority today.
''is the need of a feet Of first-ciass bat
tleships.
.'1t has been found that money will
buy anything except armored vessels.
Torpedo boats can be improvised. and
swift. effective unarmored cruisers made
from first-class steamers; but the most
tempting offers that could be made
brought to our Navy no armorclads
THE Importance of armored vessels
has been demonstrated by the fact that
they were the first and almost the only
force considered in important naval
movements.
when the four Spanish armorclads ap-
peared in West Indian waters all the war
plans were at a standstill until those ves-
sells had been located and bottled up.
They represented force that could not
be ignored. and the entire campaign was
blocked until they were out of the way.
Nothing was talked of except those arm
ored cruisers while they were at large
In the plans for their destruction moth
ing but battleships could be considered
1.-The Oregon has demonstrated the sea-
worthiness of that class of vessels. and
all our experience has been that they
are the most effective fighting force
afloat.'

The opponents of Hawaiian annexa-
tion have not given up the fight, but
they might as well. for they would be
blind not to realize that they are COM
pletely whipped. Speaker Reed has
promised to give the Newlands reso-
luton a show, but makes haste so
slowly in the matter that a Republican
caucus is being arranged in case he
does not keep his word within three
days. Once before the House, the af-
fair will be ended for that side Of the
Capitol, and it will not take long to
pass the resolution through the Senate
where today there are more than
enough votes to ratify the annexation
treaty if it could be brought to an
issue
The whole hope of the sugar Tories
has been to sidetrack the question and
secure an early adjournment, but it
is plain enough now that the scheme is
doomed to disaster. The friends of an
nexation will compel Congress to sit
until December. If necessary, to insure
passage. Even If the enemies of their
country were able to infiict some
further delay it would do them no good.
President Mckinley can take Hawaii
as a measure of military necessity at
any moment, and will do SO if he de-
sires to meet the wishes Of the Ameri-
can people.
In the campaign against national in
terests and vital necessity which GER
tain corrupt exponents of monopoly
have been engineering from Wall
Street, a huge amount of money has
been spent 1t has been potent to pre-
vent action up to this time. 1t will be
SO no longer. A rich source Of income
will be cut off in the cases of certain
persons in Washington. but. as the
country will benefit. We can afford to
observe the fact with calm resignation
The Stars and Stripes will be soon
flying at Honolulu. If Mr.. Mckinley
would take our advice, 1t would hap
pen not later than dispatch boat
could get there from San Francisco
with the proclamation.

troops in shape to move. and much of
this is due to the sordid Toryism Of
vessel owners. who want the Govern
ment to buy transport twice over in
a charter for the voyage. The same
rascally spirit is reported from Allan
tic seaports, where efforts are being
made to secure troop ships.
The President is. himself. partly to
blame in the matter. He has been too
slow in showing the teeth Of a COM
mander-in-chief to these hoggish bot
tom sharks. There is not, and has not
been. the least occasion for such a
spirit of kindness to them as the Gov
ernment has evinced. and. while We are
about it, Mr.. Mckinley may as well
open his eyes to the possibility that
there may have been a little jobbery
here and there in this connection.
The outrage upon the Army and the
people perpetrated by the greedy pi-
rates who are getting in the way Of our
military movements by actually cor
nering the transport market should be
promptly and sternly frowned down
and punished. The President should
not hesitate for an instant to break the
corner and seize everything in sight
furnished with a keel that may happen
to suit his purposes. ,...,
Annexation as military necessity
ought to work in the case of ships as
well as in that of islands.

Troops for Manila.

Graphic accounts are arriving of the
successful operations OF General Aguin-
aldo around Manila. Since his arrival
at Cavite this brilliant native leader
has assembled three thousand we'll
armed troops. fought several hot skir-
mishes with the Spaniards, captured
sixteen hundred prisoners. two field
batteries, two thousand magazine rifles
and a large quantity Of ammunition,
and the Philippines are fiocking to his
standard as fast as they can get to his
lines.
The advantage which these move
ments are to us would be multiplied If
Admiral Dewey could be adequately re-
enforced at once. 1t will be probably
two weeks yet before the first detach-
ment Of the Manila expedition can
reach him. and nobody knows how long
after that before the second and the
third can be counted on. Probably the
President is doing what he can to hurry
matters. but there has been q great

STOLE VALUABLE JEwELRY.
Law Clerks Plan to Rob His Enc
plOyer's Clients.


New York. June S--Through the
vigilance of two detectives. the
law firm of Evarts. Choa.e & Bea-
man was informed yesterday that 1t was
robbed by one of its clerks last March of
jewelry worth 1880 and a letter of credit
for $50. 600. and that a full confession had
been obtained from the thief.
Detectives Buckley and Aitken, detail
ed to watch Bowery pawnshops. noticed
in the last three months a very well
dressed young man pawning jewelry. His
nervous manner suggested that all was
noc right. They ascertained that he
pawned most expensive jewelry for sums
much below its value. They learned that
he was Robert Dyas. nineteen vars old.
a clerk in the office of Evarts Choate &
Beaman. and lived with his parents at
No. 154 Carroll Street, Brooklyn.
Dyas appeared again on Monday after
noon In the Bowery. trying to pawn an
emerald locket worth $500. and the de-
tectives took him to police headquarters.
and Capt. McCiusky put him through a
severe cross-examination.
Dyas stoutly maintained at first that
the jewelry had been given to him by
his mother, but Capt McClusky sent for
her. and she denied it.
Then the young man confessed that he
had stolen the jewelry as the result, of
sudden temptation. A client about to
sail for Europe sent a tin box to Tread
well Cleveland. member of the firm.
for safe keeping one Saturday afternoon
in March.
Young Dyas was alone in the office
when II arrived. and curiosity prompted
him to open the box. He found in it
Jewels worth $500. letter of credit
for $4,000 and several valuable papers.
He took the box home. and had disposed
of about half the jewelry for $500.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE s. 1895.
The salvation of santiago.

Our fleet off Santiago de Cuba, if we
may fully credit the f1attering reports
of the engagement, has practically de-
molished the sea defenses of that place,
infiicting heavy loss upon the enemy.
In the course of the action the ships
covered the landing of a force Of ma
rines, whose mission it was to effect
junction with a detachment of Gar
cia's Cuban army and supply it with
rifles, some field pieces and ammuni-
tion. All this was successfully accom-
plished, and the feasibility of the mill
tary program prepared for operations
against the position fully demonstrat-
ed.
So far, everything appears to have
gone we'll at the scene of attack. AL
though a number of Spaniards We're
killed and wounded during the bonn
bardment, 1t is highly gratifying to
know that not an American was Killed.
The only thing for regret in this con-
nection is that the expedition under
General Shafter, which ought to be
nearing Santiago today, will not sail
until tomorrow, owing to bad manage
ment in delivering provisions and sup
plies to the troops. By Sunday. how
ever, it is confidently asserted at the
department the debarkation will be ef-
fected, and, presumably, fighting will
Immediately ensue.
1t is well that the troops employed
for this service are highly efficient,
seasoned regulars, because the chances
are that they will not have a walk
over on the way from the seashore to
the heights commanding the harbor and
city. The topography of the locality is
eminently fitted for defensive tactics.
Ravines and ridges in succession must
be encountered and taken. Owing to
the absence of roads, the approaches
are difficult, practicable only on a few
lines, and therefore liable to be mined
against an assaulting force. Unless.
as happened sometimes in the civil
war, the mines and torpedoes placed
where our troops must pass can be
exploded by artillery fire in advance of
a rush, we are afraid that there may
be a very heavy mortality on our side.
That is a chance which, nevertheless,
We must take, and all the dynamite in
Cuba will not stop our soldiers once
they have started for their objective
point.
There is an opinion prevalent in the
Administration circle that the fall of
Santiago, the capture or destruction of
Cervera's fleet. and the invasion of
Porto Rico, Immediately thereafter, will
bring Spain to her senses and render
an attack upon Havana unnecessary
1t is very evident that there is no pres
ent intention to proceed against Blan-
co. Not only is his position splend;dly
fortified, but it is reported that he has
dynamited every foot of ground over
which an assault could be delivered. A
month ago Havana could have been
easily taken by the same force we are
sending to Santiago. Now it will re-
quire hundred or a hundred and
twenty five thousand men.
Well, there is little use in crying over
spilled milk. The next few days prom
Use a battle of some sort, and that is
what war is for The event and its re-
suits will be watched for with anxious
interest, not only in this country, but
throughout Christendom.
The evening times., 1898-06-08

If the reports on the subject are accu-
rate, Colonial Secretary Chamberlain has
been prompt in ordering the deportation
of the Spanish spies, Du Bose and Carran-
Ia. from Canada. The latter at least will
hardly care to go home, where 1t Is more
than likely that the original letter which
has made him SO much trouble will be
spread before him by the minister of ma
rine. He will not then be called upon to
explain any error of translation because
his government can read Spanish and will
have no difficulty in identifying his neat
chirography. Carranza made a fatal
blunder when he raised that little ques-
ton of veracity.
