PERHAPS A WASTE or LATTER.

On Nav Is we veutured to print dispatch
from our Washington correspondent In which
..prorninent naval officer" was quoted as ex-
pressing some doubts regarding the wisdom OF
Admiral SIMPSONS attack upon Porto Rico
The Editor Of 1.-The Sum-" with the instinct for
news which occasionally distinguishes him.
hastened to place the views OF the prominent
naval officer before bis own readers by re-
printing The Tribune's Washington dispatch
conspicuously upon the editorial page Of his
paper.
But M he imagined that he was bound to
apologize In one way or another 10 his readers
for opening his columns to irninded and
moderate criticism instead OF the vicious stuff
to which they are ordinarily treated, he took
pains to inform them that "the scarcely dis
..guised attempt OF The NewYork Tribune to
"discredlt Admiral Sampson, under cover Of the
alleged criticisms Of an alleged prominent
naval officer Is worthy of The Evening
Post We reproduce the article calling at
"tention TO It's animus We had supposed there
twas only one newspaper In New-York capable
'of so cowardly and contemplate a perform
"ance"
Fools and liars have provcrbay short memo
ries We we're not surprised, therefore. to see
IN '"rhe Surf OF yesterday column and half
devoted to an account OF "San Juan's lombard
ment." and TO zee that account fairly brlste
with criticisms Of Admiral SIMPSONS conduct
on that occasion and his qualification as COM
mander OF Il feet. Starting with the assertion
that ut is erroneous TO assume that the MORO
has been destroyed. or It's usefulness ended:
that ''he feet did not remain until the guns
we're snenced." and that more than half Of
"the guns remain unframed and ready for
business the article gives currency to the
story that the orders to Admiral Sampson from
washington were to test the batteries at San
Juan and that was the only basis on which
"the engagement could be explained"
Apparently quoting some one clsc-can the
writer have been so "cowardly and contempt
bic" MS TO jump into the disguise OF "proml-
pent naval officer" ?-the article explains:
From any other point Of view the lombard
"ment was a faure--if not an Out-and-out fail
lure. certainly virtual one considering the
position Of aggressor in which the American
fleet was placed And further OH 1t says:
I'm no case. however. is the SaD Juan lombard
"ment considered a triumph. 1t Is rather
Judged to be at best n waste Of time with n
simultaneous exposing Of the feet to serious
injury" or Admiral Sampson the article says
that he Is cassed as a "bureaucrat," and that
he conducted his fleet too much on the style of
Department tradition and practice" whatever
that may mean, exercising too little dscre-
ton" etc

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
BURkE'S STATION, Va, August 4.-One
death is reported as result of yesterdays
march of the I'd Division from Camp Alger
to Burkes Station. Private John Hiland
of Company d, 34th Michigan, was over
come by heat near Robt. E. Lees old home,
and put in ambulance and brought
into camp here about o'clock. His death
occurred few moments later. The body
was sent to Fort Myer last night and will
be forwarded to Calumet, Mich.
General Davis division will remain at
Burkes Station until tomorrow morning, to
give the men needed rest after the severe
ordeal of yesterday. The delay in starting
compelled the men to march through the
heat of the day. Struggling was the fea-
ture of the march, men dropping out of line
every half mile. They kept coming into
cafp Until long after midnight.
An order issued by Chief Surgeon Girard
yesterday compelled the regmental hos
pitfalls to surrender all the orderlies' med
ical pouches before leaving. The whole di-
vision was, therefore, without emergency
supplies through the whole of the unusual
ly severe march, except such supplies as
they were able to secure from the sur
geonS' private pouches.
The order under which the march was
conducted contemplated supplying the
ulFlSlon with us fauonS from the wagon
train, which was supposed to accompany
the column. The wagons with the rations
did not leave Camp Alger until $50 last
evening, and the last one arrived at
BLrke's Station at 4:3O in the morning
Many of the men went to bed supperless
and the provisional regiment was without
food this morning.
1t is reported that Gen. Graham has Sc
verely reprimanded Gen. Davis, command
ing the I'd Division, for the delay of the
subsistence supplies and the CONSIGNMENT
inconvenience endured by his men, and al
so recommends that more of his attention
be given the wagon train supplying the
rations

of those supporting the present manage

1T is the same old fight that has been
carried on by a small minority for many
years; but it doesn't seem TO be very good
Politics to announce a fight of this kind
three months in advance. The United
States company is Incorporated in West

very small minority a chance TO make a
very large noise. 1 predict that seven

Col. Bingham Reports on the Opera
tions for the Year.
DECLARES 4 new CONDUIT NEEDED
Completion Of the Aqueduct Tun-
mel to Be Accomplished.
THE STEM

Col T. A. Bingham of the engineer corps
has made report TO the War Department
of the operations for the maintenance and
repair of the Washington aqueduct during
the year ended June so last. During the
year, not including the occasions when the
water level was lowered by the supply be-
ing shut off for the purpose of making re-
pairs or for removing deposits from the
conduit, the extreme fiuctuation of water
level In the distributing reservoir had a
range Of but forty-five hundredths of a
foot, against one foot for the preceding
year. All deposits were removed from the
conduit and the interior was carefully
scraped and swept, so that 1t is now an
easy matter to keep the conduit clean by
the annual removal of deposits. An inspec-
ton of the entire interior of the conduit
shows that none of the cracks plastered up
in 1896 has reopened and that no new ones
have developed. The north connection of
the by-conduit around the Dalecarlia reser-
voir is in bad condition, rendering it unsafe
to enter it to remove deposits, and permit
ting interchange of its waters with those
of the reservoir.
