Regulars How to Fight.
The steamship Tito of the Murson line
arrived at New York the other night
from Sagua la Grande and anchored III
the upper bay. The Tito went to sagua
by special permission of the United
States government and with the consent
of the Spanish captain general of Cuba.
On her way from Key West to Sagua
the Tito was stopped by two of the
American cruisers doing blockade duty
along the north coast of the island, but
was allowed to proceed on her journey
as soon as her commander, Captain
Brydc, exhibited her permit
Speaking of the situation in Cuba.
one of the Cuban passengers said:
1.-THE Spaniards are calmly waiting
for the United States soldiers to invade
Cuba. The delay in moving the army is
construed by them as sign of the i'm
potency Of the United States to deal
with a country which, like Spain, has
an army all ready for action. Very few
of the Spaniards in Cuba are willing to
admit that Spain is going to be defeat
ed. They believe that Havana, with her
formidable Notifications defended by
more than so, 900 regulars and an equal
number Of volunteers, is perfectly i'm
pregnable. and they are, in consequence,
anxious to give the Americans a prac-
teal lesson. The food problem does not
seem to worry the Spanish very much.
They claim that they have at their dis
posal large number Ct oxen from the
plantations and expect that there will
soon be abundant crops of maize and
sweet potatoes with which the army, as
we'll as the civilians, will be able to
keep up as long as the blockade con-
tinucs. "-EXchange.

Acting Admiral Dewey is a Yer

may be proclaimed a great hero any day
if he has the good fortune to meet the
Spanish fleet, was appointed from New
York. 1t so happens that Rear Admiral
Kirkland, who heads the list Of officers
of his grade, was appointed from North
Carolina, while Rear Admiral Mat

was appointed from u southern state,
and that was state on tho border

navy only three are from southern states,
they all being from the border state of
Kentucky. There are IS commanders in

FROM Virginia, four from Kentucky and
three from Missouri The others are all
from northern or western states. There

The Naval Captain In Battle.

Writing of the perils of naval warfare,
Park Benjamin in The Independent says
Nobody now believes that captain
who finds his vision through tho Sits
of the coming tower cut off by smoke
will stay thus shut up. 1t is extremely
doubtful if it will be physically possible
for him to remain there after the shells
commence to hammer it's sides and burst
against it, and in any event the intense
anxiety to sec and know clearly what
the enemy is doing will inevitably lead
him to take his chances in the open.
Coming tower or no coming tower, his
duty is to place himself at whatever
point he can manage his ships to the
best advantage, and this he will GER
tainly do. Lord Charles Beresford, with
grim humor, has suggested that the
captains safest place is not in but be-
hind his coming tower, because then
he has two thicknesses of steel between
himself and the enemy, don't you seer"
But while coming tower armor may re-
sist penetration it is by no means GER
tain that tho whole structure will not
be swept away by tho first heavy pro-
jectile which squarely hits it.
