Two torpedo boat destroyers quit
the harbor of Santiago at midnight
Sunday. They kept in the shadow of
the mountains for two miles and were
finally detected by the lookout on the
Texas. When discovered, they made
dash for the battleship under fire
of the Texas and Brooklyn. They
came within 500 yards of the Texas
before giving up the plucky attempt
and then retreated into the harbor
unhurt.
Admiral Schley began the lombard
ment of the Notifications at Santiago
on Tuesday afternoon. The forts re
turned the fire With spirit but none of
the American boats were injured. The
bombardment lasted two hours, but it
is not known what the effect on the
forts was. The Spanish feet took nc
part IN the engagement. The naval
department discredits the report that
Schley attempted to enter the harbor.

lr is now quite generally conceded that
the number Of Spanish troops IN Cuba
has been underestimate that the forts
are stronger than reports made them and
that the insurgents are So insignificant
IN numbers that they are not to be consid
cred IN the contest. unless their numbers
be augmented by the intervention of the
United States. The dash made on Spn-
day night by the two Spanish torpedo boat
destroyers on Schley's fleet shows that
the capture Of Santiago will be no boli-
day affair. These two little boats push
Ell on with desperate courage. under the
fire Of the American fleet, TO reach the
Texas. They did not accomplish their
purpose but they escaped unframed.
The Notifications at Santiago have
given proof of their strength; the mouth
OF the harbor is mined 1t seems ike
useless destruction of life to attempt 10
force an entrance and the demand for An
instant engagement should be withdrawn.
The pace set by Commodore Dewey is a
dangerous one and cannot be followed
with such immunity as he enioyed. Itis
Just as we'll to admit that Cubs is quite
well fortified and presents difficulties for
its subjugatiou requiring other qualities
than courage.

If the dilatory tactics and peaceful
blockade policy of the United States ex-
cite comment in Europe and draw forth
the criticism that we trust to chance to
determine what to do, how pitiable the
inactive attitude of Spain must appear
A Spanish fleet Is wiped out in eastern
waters under circumstances which reflect
as seriously upon the inefficiency of the
Spanish navy as they attest the brilliant
fighting qualities of the Americans when
opportunity Is gwen.
A second Spanish fleet is cent out to
the waters occupied by the enemy, rel
ativaly so weak that 1t earns credit for
it's skill in avoiding an engagement. That
fleet seems doomed. Spain is simply fur
nishipg victims for the slaughter. 7 he
Cadiz fleet is left but without ability to
cope with the unhal med American fleet.
SPAN declares war and then conducts
war by receiving blows without return
ing them. The only thing to SPANS
credit is that her sailors die without fear.
She is as weak in war as she Is unreason-
able IN peace; more intent upop being
forced to surrender at discretion than to
purchase peace by swallowing false pride.
The result of the war will be to change
pity for her weakness into contempt for
her lack OF Judgment.

1t may turn out he is not in need of as
sistance. The resources of this coun-
try are such that supplies should be sent
to him inside of "A hours. Assistance
would be far more valuable to him than

THE Milwaukee Ministers Association
has declared a crusade against Sunday
base ball. Another instance of an at
tempt to achieve the impossible. 1t is
unwlse for clergymen to magnify the evil
OF base ball IN view of the fact that any
thing they might do will not bring about
Its discontinuance. They try to make it
appear worse than 1t is. In this they are
doing the cause of religion an injury
People who attend base ball on Sunday
do not perceive any great harm in it and
express their opinion freely. They thus
come into direct antagonism with the
clergy and the influence of the clergy
snffers.
Ii there was an improvement in the
moral tone quite generally, it might be 10
the interest of better conduct to abolish
Sunday base ball.
But would attendants seek some other
form of amusement less reprehensibe?
The Sunday game of base ball, as society
is now constituted, is more Of moral
agent than factor OF evil. Things should
be recognized as they are. The clergy
must work with instruments which come
from the peoples hands If they want
their work to be effective on moral lines.
