NO PRAISE FOR SAMPSON.
Niles Does Not Mention Him in
GlOrifyin. ECrccs

In his communication TO the Secretary
OF War, dated July Il Gen. Miles used
this language: :. Gen. Shafter and
the officers and men of his command de-
serve great credit for their sincerity and
fortatude in overcoming almost insuper-
able obstacles which they encountered"
1eh- Miles was Immediately compli-
mented by the press and people of Amer
lea for giving his subordinates their due
need of praise, instead of arrogating to
himself the honor won in battles before
he reached the front.
His conduct was contrasted with that
of Admiral Sampson, who sought to
snatch from Commodore Schley the credit
OF sinking Cerveras fleet very much
to Admiral SIMPSONS disadvantage.
But the fact was overlooked at the
time that Sampson was not mentioned
in Gen. Miless dispatch at all. "Gen.
shafter and the officers and men of his
command, according TO the ranking
MAJOR general of the army took Santi-
ago. Ihis is now being commented upon
IN mllitary and naval circles, and,
Is usual in such casee, two sides TO the
story are shown.
one faction holds that it was not with
In the purview of Gen. Mless duties to
refer to the navy in any way in his re-
port 10 the Administration. The other
side, in reply TO this declares that II
is no part of the senior generals duty
TO compliment anybody; that words of
praise Tor officers and men, however ap-
proprlate and graceful, are gratuitous,
and that Gen. Miles would have been
fully justified in mentioning any part
played by the navy during the siege of
Santiago.
Nominally, at least, the town was in
ves,ed by land and sea. Gen. Shafter
had charge OF the land forces and Ad-
miral Sampson commanded the fleet.
Marines from the fleet were the first
to make landing. They occupied and
held Guantanamo for several days. in
the face of tremendous odds. And yet
Gen. Miles overloOks the navy in his dis
tribution of compliments. Why?
Obviously not because he is churlish
and disgruntled by the work of others.
His handsome tribute 10 his own sub
ordinates proves that he is gallant
soldier, who believes in honoring the
brave.
Gossip at the State War and Navy
Department yesterday credited the gen
eral with complimenting Commodore
Schiey by his silence.
He could not have been impersonal
in any reference he might have made
to the fleet. 1t would have been neces-
sary for him TO name Sampson as a joint
hero with Shafter, and that he did not
propose to do.
That there is somewhat bitter feeling
existing between the land and the sea
branches of the service has long been
known, but ii is not thought that Gen.
Miles shares in any prejudice against the
navy. Feuds of this sort are usually
kept alive by subordinates.
Neither Secretary Alger nor Secretary
Long would discuss the omission of Ad-
miral Simpsons name by Gen. Miles.

The appointment of Richard Sylves-
ter to be Major and superintendent of

the best that could have been made
under the circumstances. The new su-

We congratulate the President upon
his determination TO revise the terms of
the surrender at Santiago in the
interest of American honor and COM
mon sense. Some of the recommended
tions of Gen. Shafter's commission are
sufficiently absurd to be indecent.
The Spanish prisoners will number
"a 600 or 25, 600 officers and men. To
parole and send them back to Spain is
obviously the best course that could
be adopted. But to ship their arms
back also-to deliberately give up 25,
600 modern rifles (better than any we
have), by way Of mawkish sentiment

his influence in Madrid is important it

Senor Gamazo, member of the Sagasta
ministry, in a recent interview said that
one reason why it is desirable to seek
peace at once is that overtures should
precede an occupation of Porto Rico by
the Americans in which case they might
insist upon including that island in their
demands. Gamazo is entirely right in
fearing that Porto Rico is in danger, but
he does not seem to realize that it cannot
be averted at this late day. The expulsion
of Spain from the Western Hemisphere

Dispatches from Rome seem to justify
the fear that the venerable Pope is near
ing the end of a long and distinguished
career. 1t is not impossible that anxiety
over papal interests in the Philippines
and other former Spanish possessions
where the Church has enjoyed extraor-
binary power and prerogattves has had
something to do with the immediate i'll
ness under which Leo XIII is said to be
suffering. As godfather to the King Of
Spain, and in view of the menace to
Roman Catholic Church interests in
Spain, growing out of the revolutionary
conditions of the Spanish kingdom, the
grief which the aged pontif feels in view
