There Is a Gulf Fixed Between

With the exception of the gunner,
whose work is well defined, and who is,
of late years a graduate of the Gunnery
School, at Washington, the duties of
boatswain, sailmaker and carpenter are
somewhat hazy. writes Park Benjamin
in the Independent. The grades were
very useful on the old sailing frigates,
where the boatswain looked after the
rigging the sailmaker the sails and the
carpenter the hull; but nowadays when
the rigging, what there is of it, is little
more than steel cables and signal hall
lizards, and there are no sails and all
the woodwork in the steel hulls is care

probable, the occupation of these officers
is largely gone. They survive however

places of the commissioned officerS-a
boatswain, for example, now commands
the Michigan on the Great Lakes; but
the gulf between them and the COM
missioned officers is impassable, social
" as we'll as officially. Discipline allows
of no familiar intercourse between the
commissioned officers and themselves on
the one hand, nor between themselves
and the enlisted men on the oCher Nor,
no matter what their qualifications, can
they enter the commissioned grades. the
only path TO which now lies through
the Naval Academy.
There is little doubt that the present
war will bring about material changes
in the navy, but whether among them
will be included any provision whereby,
as in the army, enlisted men may be ad-
mitted to the commissioned grades, re-
mains to be seen. After the Civil War
some seyenty-five volunteer officers who
had never gone through the naval acade-
my were transferred TO the regular navy,
and ten of them remain on the active list,
one being present Chief of the Bureau of
Ordnance. So, also. naval apprentices
have been regularly appointed to the Ma
val Academy and so have become in time
commissioned officers. But there is still
no direct road where Jacky may pass

ment. Prof. Byron made brief talk

educator.
Rev. James Burrow. who had been Sc

duced, and he made avery interesting and
instructive speech, His subject was "The
Beautiful" and it was handled in a most
original, amusing and forcible style. The
audience was delighted with the speech.
The exercises were interspersed with vo-
cal and instrumental selections, rendered
by the pupils, which reflected credit on
the musical talent of the school.

handsomely decorated by the friends OF

the pulpit stands was dressed with ever

the altar being banked with flowers and
evergreens. Shades had been placed over
the windows to exclude the daylight, and
the church was lighted with beautiful
lamps and candelabras. A large crowd
packed the church almost to suffocation.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. W,
w. Ruff assisted, by Rev. l. ?. Martin.
Mrs. V. L. Sexton presided at the organ
and Mr.. Will Henry Anderson assisted
with his violin. Of course, the music was
excellent.

The bride was dressed in white silk and the
brides maids were dressed in white null
and wore white Leghorn hats trimmed

Cole the first time he delivered the iect-
ure, which was at Marion several years
ago. He had never before appeared upon
the platform as Il lecturer, and his friends
were totally unprepared for the treat which
he gave them. 1t was an hour of unmlxed
pleasure to those who heard him. We
are informed that Judge Cole has greatly
improved the lecture since We heard it.
If he has treat is in store for those who
attend, we hope he will be greeted by a
large audience.
We are informed that at the conclusion
of the lecture negro farce will be given by
some of our local talent.

LANDING EFFECTED.

The information received from
Admiral Sampson was evidentally
quite satisfactory to the naval au-
thorities. While they declined to
discuss either the reason for or
the probable consequences OF the
bombardment, they were thor
oughly satisfied with the results
accomplished.
It is pretty well understood that
the bomhardment was for the pur-
pose of paving the way either for
the landing of troops or actually
to cover the landing of marines and
the few troops presumably already
there.
Dispatches received by the AS
sociated Press from Spanish sour
ces tonight indicate that a land
ing was effected, either during OF
Immediately after the lombard
ment. This is regarded by naval
authorities as entirely unreason-
able.
It is not believed that Admiral
Sampson, after having silenced the
forts would leave them to lie re-
habilitated by the enemy. 1t is
deemed likely that he landed o

ALL THE MEN SAVED.

The fate of the brave crew was not
known until this morning. A boat put
out of the harbor under flag of truce and
ran alongside of Admiral Simpsons ship.
The boat bore Captain Oviedo, the chief of
staff of Admiral Cervera. Captain Oviedo
said that Admiral Cevera was go struck by
the bravery and courage of Hobson and
his men that he determined that
Admiral Sampson should get the
good news that none of the men
had lost their lives. Then the New York
rang with cheers.

rowed up the harbor to the Reina Merce-
des and there gave themselves up. The
Spanish captain added that two Of the
brave Americans are slightly wounded and
that they are being treated with the great

HoBsoN BOARDS THE MERIMAc.

The men we're taken from the New York
and the Merrimac. The Merrimac's reg
ular crew was put on the flagship and Hob
son and his seven companions gathered on
the Merrimac shortly after midnight. 1t
was ordered that no searchlight be turned
on the harbor's entrance for fear that it
would betray the Merrimacs advance.
Constructor Hobson had prepared for
the scouting of the collier as soon as he got
to the narrowest part of the channel he
told the Admiral that he would keep
ahead, despite the Spanish fire, and took
leave of Sampson with much tenderness on
the Admiral's part.
