There is not a frowning MORO in any
of the Spanish West Indies that does
not stand monumentally for the sever
ity, cruelty, rapacity and intolerance Of
the Spanish system. There is not a
blockhouse in Cuba that does not tyrify
the barbarity, mercilessness and inhu-
manity of the Spanish method of con-
trolling the colonies. There is not found
on a Cuban battlefield such as that of
San Juan nights before Santiago de
cartridge that does not speak of the
treachery, dishonor and assassin-like
character of the Spanish method in
Cuba International law, the consensus
of the codes of military ethics, the
voice of humanity and the regard for
honor, all condemn the use of the cow
ardly missile. Yet We have CLEANED
from Spanish camps the evidence Of
the Spanish sense of honor, a word for
ever drooling from Spanish mouths-ln

WAS 1T HEROIC AND MANLY?

1t Is reported that Lieutenant COM
mander Wainwright in capturing Ger
vera. the veteran and heroic commander
Of the Spanish squadron at Santiago,
complimented him upon the heroism he
had displayed. That was common
civility. So, too, the dispatches speak
Of his daring dash out of the harbor,
and the all but reckless valor he and
his Captains displayed.
But in common honesty is Cervera en-
titled to so much consideration? He
knew practiced and experienced war
rior that he Is, that his was a hopeless
case. He knew that his fleet, If discov-
cred, was doomed to destruction. He
must have known that with such
foe outside and watching for him dis
covery was certain. He knew that the
attempt to escape must involve the.sac-
rifce Of hundreds of lives which he held
In the hollow Of his hand.
But Cervera was to reap glory from
this harvest Of death. An easy thing
it was for him to declare, we will die
on our decks and go to honored and
watery graves. But what had the men
of the fleet to say to that? They could
be but ordered to die and obey.
To the lay mind this appears neither
brave nor manly. The impression we
receive from such record is that 1t
would have been more manly more glo-
rious, more humane and reflective of
more of the heroism Of true nobility,
to have said IT am helpless. I will not
sacrifice the lives of my men and Off
GERS in hopeless attempt. l will sink
my ships at their moorings and retire
to the dry land" or, II am unable to
longer resist without useless bloodshed.
will not offer these lives upon the
altargeof my glory and ambition. 1
will surrender to an honorable foe."
Precisely the same. spirit of pride and
honor of which the Spanish boast so
much, characterized the reply of the
commanding officer at Santiago, in an
swer to the demand of Shafter for his
surrender No, he would not accede,
but insisted that the awful sacrifice
should go forward, though as military
man he knows it to be hopeless. Such
notions of honor did not inspire Robert
e. Lee when at Appomattox he surren-
dered to Grant, to stop useless effusion
of blood. Yet Lee might have fought
to the last ditch and have laid his men
dead in trenches.
Spanish honor is simply Spanish van
ity and Spanish pride. It was Illus
trated in the case of the unhappy Cap
tain who sailed unwittingly into Mani
Ia Bay on a revenue cutter and was
commanded by Dewey to surrender. He
did so, knowing that it would be SIM
ply the murder of his men to attempt
to resist an ironclad and victorious
squadron with his little boat with her
four small guns and a handful Of men.
But Spanish honor demanded that the
gallant young officer should have fought
and died with all his crew about him,
and hence when paroled he was court
martiaied and sentenced to death, be-
cause, forsooth, Spanish honor had been
tarnished. Out upon such barbarous
sentiment. Cursed be such vanity, and
damned be such false and inhumane
conceptions Of manliness.

A Startling Admission.

| Some interesting stories about the en-
! Ilistments Of recruits to the Ninth have
been going the rounds. One of the
assistant surgeons of the Ninth gave
a young man a rigid physical examina-
ton, under orders, as the young man
was not thought to be a desirable re-
cruit. After the applicants weight and
hight had been ascertained, and the
color of his hair and eyes noted, the
dialogue between surgeon and prospec-
tive recruit went on as follows:

ALL HONOR TO SCHLEY.

In congratulating Commodore and
Acting Rear Admiral Sampson for the
splendid victory of his fleet off the har-
Dor of Santiago de Cuba, it should be
kept constantly in view that the gal
liant Commodore Schley was the man
to the fcre. 1t was Schley who discov-
cred Cervera's fleet in the harbor and
bottled it UP. 1t was his good fortune
to be on hand with his splendid squad
ron and to engage the Cervera force as
III emerged from the harbor, while
Sampson and his flagship We're far 70

gagement just as 1T closed. With all
possible admiration for the splendid
valor and heroic feats of Sampson, ist

teal skill and the undaunted courage
of the grizzled veteran of two wars,
Commodore Schley. Honor to the old
commander, whose age has not inn
paired his vitality, nor dimmed the
glory of his splendid career.

ton the treaty will be dropped and Nor

tuted This would pass both houses by a
large majority. Speaker Reed is unfriend-
ly to annexation, but he will not use the
power of his position against it, because
many of his strongest friends and lieuten-

The House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce entered into a rather ex-
tended discussion of the project for the
creation of department of industry and
commerce to-day. Most of the members
participated in the interchange of views
and suggestions and there seemed to be a
general desire for some measure of this
character. The bill now being considered
by the committee, however, is not satsfac-
tory in several particulars to several of
the members, and a substitute is likely to
be presented. There is a strong opposition
to the erection of such office to posi-
ton of a Cabinet rank. Legislation, if
drafted at all. judged by to-day's proceed
ings, will have in view making the office OF
a relatively lower grade, with perhaps the
same status as the department of labor.

New Cotton Gin Tested.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IAN official roller
gin test, conducted under the direction of the
Office of fiber Investigations of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Cuero, Tex, upon
Texas grown Egyptian cotton, has just been
concluded with most successful and crafty
ing results. For several years cultural ex-
periments have been carried on in Texas by
Mr.. w. II. Wentworth, from the Egyptian
seed distributed by the department with a
view to the production in this country of
Egyptian cotton. A serious obstacle to sue
cess has been the need of a proper gin TO
separate the seed from the lint, the ordinary
gin injuring the cotton to a ruinous degree,
but this has been overcome by d special
form of gin. The engineer expert states
that the cotton produced from the Egyptian
seed planted in Texas is stronger than the
native Egyptian, as is indicated by the yield
per hour in ginning. This was 20 pounds
per hour the first day and 76 $40 pounds
per hour the second day. The manufacture
ers of the gin used claimed only 50 pounds
per hour as the output of the native Egyp-
tian. The lint from this test will be ex-
amined and further reported The inn
ports of Egyptian cotton are steadily in
creasing and now amount in value to over
IS 100000 annually.

ence Mr.. Roosevelt said that he had found
that the civil-service system had worked in
conceivable Improvement. He had observed
this both in his position as police commits
sioner in New York and as assistant secre-
tary of the navy. Referring especially to
the Navy Department he dweit at some
length upon what he pronounced the abuses
under the former system. He said that in
the navy yard the spoils system had be-
come 50 intolerable under Secretary Tracy
that the secretary had been compelled to
adopt registration system. Mr.. Roosevelt
said that he had investigated the employ
ment of labor in all the big navy yards
Of the Atlantic coast personally and that at
Mare island by deputy and that the COM
handing officers had without exception COM
mended the change from the old system
to the new, saying in most instances that
the improvement was beyond belief both
among the laborers and in the clerical de-
partment. The commandments had testified
that without exception the work was bet
ter done and more quickly done than form
erly.

Rear Admiral BeardsIee Leaves Act
i've Service in the Navy

WASHINGTON, Feb. Leslie c. Boards
lee rear admiral of the United Stateanavy,
retired to-day on account of age.
Rear Admiral Beardslee was the second
ranking sofiicer in the navy. and at the date
Of his retirement was stationed in Wash
ington as president of the examining and re-
firing boards. His last service was in COM
mand of the Pacific station, and he was at
Honolulu when the crisis came in the
government He has been regarded as one
of the ablest sailors in the navy. and has a
splendid record He has lived on war boats
and sailed the seas in Uncle Sans uniform
ever since he was fourteen years old, and
he is now siXty-two. He was a midshipman
as long ago as 1850, and served for five years
on the slOop Plymouth in the East Indies.
While with the Plymouth he engaged in
several skirmiSheS and one battle with the
Chinese army at Shanghai. He came out of
the Naval Academy in 1856. and his career
since that time has been good one. He
with the frigate Merrimac as passed
mldshipman, with the East Indian squadron
on board the Germantown, and in 1889 was
promoted lieutenant. He saw little of the
big rebellion. During the second year of the
civil war he was lieutenant commander on
the Nantucket and participated in the at
tack of the irOnclad fleet on the Charleston
about the West Indies and the coast of Bra
zil. and assisted in the capture of the rebel
steamer Florida at Bahai. He on spe-
cial service with the WachuSett, was put in
command of the captured boat and brought
her safely 10 Hampton Roads. He has seen
service in East Indian waters, and since the
war has commanded many vessels He was
considered one OF the shrewdest of the old
line officers in the navy. and his promotion
TO be rear admiral last year was the reward
of long and faithful service.
