COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Butte Miner: Among the regiments Sc
lected by the war department to be re-
tanned in the service for some time to
come is noticed the name of the Third Ne
braska. This is the regiment commanded
by Colonel William J. Bryan. Its reten-
ton indicates that Colonel Bryan will, as
was indicated some time time ago, go to
Havana with his regiment when the time
comes to take possession of the Cuban
capital. The news is interesting in view
of the recently revived report that Colonel
Bryan would be mustered out with his
regiment and that he would take part in
the campaign this fall. 1t is to be hoped
row the goldbug papers will find some
other mark for their shafts.
Detroit Free Press: Perhaps the time
is not yet ripe for such a contamination
as the Russian monarch has suggested;
but 1t IS quite certain that it cannot be
realized without the cooperation of the
United Stares. Should this country en-

ably fall in line but she will hold aloof

somewhat embarrassed, as he had less than
70 rifles to go around, that number hav-
ing been sufficient in times past.
The drill had been conducted until
about two weeks ago by Lieutenant Writ
Robinson. u. S. A., who has been sta
toned at Harvard university for the last
four years. Lieutenant Robinson has been
ordered by the war department to report
to his company, the Fifth artillery. Dur
ing his absence Burke T. Lawrence. Scien-
tifc school, who was formerly a Junior
officer in Che United States navy, will
conduct the course in military science
lately given by Lieutenant Robinson.
About $50 students are members of the
course.
The military drill, which is now made
up of six squads of about rs men each,
will be conducted by Mr.. Lawrence, who
will be assisted by several students who
have already had considerable experience
in drilling, Including Hugh Bancroft. '90.
son of ex-Mayor Bancroft of Cambridge.

which the Irish sea can furnish on such
short notice. The Audaz, although Brit
sish built, was Spanish manned and doubt
less had a Spanish heart, for she was dis
abled in the first encounter. A big green
Irish wave got in a stout right sand swing
on the Spaniard's ncso, which crumpled
up her bows as IL they had been made Of
tin Instead Of steel.
The accident to the Audaz is unparallel-
ed. No craft was ever known to be DAM
aged in such fashion before. For a dozen
feet nbaft her stem tho Prov was twisted
around az right angles to tho keel. The
boat would surely have gone to the bottom
had not her water tight compartments been
closed. AS it wal, ske managed to limp
into tho harbor of Waterford, Ireland,
where she is still an object of curiosity.
Naval men could hardly believe that a
wave could iBflict such an injury, and
some were inclined to think that the Audaz
must have run against something Of a
more solid nature than a green sea. The
officers and crew Of the damaged boat,
however, insist that their craft struck
nothing but waves.
At best tho Audaz in her present condi-
ticn is but a poor advertisement for Brit
ish BOAT builders. These torpedo boat de-
stroyers. however, are not intended to be
very stanch craft. They arc built mainly
for speed, and il they can show a record Of
rs knots an hour but little more is re-
quired Of them. Although they have steel
hulls, no attempt is made to make them
proof against cannon balls. Even the old
smoothbora carried by our old
wooden ships would 60 clear through
them. Steel bulls, moreover, are by no
means as stanch as ribs of oak, but they
haze otner advantages which oyerbalance
this.

Great Britain. Russia, France and Italy
will append their signatures to an agree

Sultan into submission. The scheme has

clined.
At the beginning of the week, the four
powers will send an ultimatum to the
Sultan of Turkey summoning him to &C.

unless he does so measures will be taken
