ulars at Santiago win receive as much
praise as any men who are serving their
country in the present contest at the risk Of
life 1t Is not too much to say that the
world has never witnessed more heroic and
skilIful fighting than that of the regulars at
Santiago. Troops with less discipline and
less skiIlfully and bravely led even il twice

on Friday. All of the older officers had a
valuable experience in the war for the
Union In subordinate positions they dis
played soldierly qualities. Most of the
younger officers had seen fighting in the In
dian country. Had they not seen fighting
before Friday none of them would have
been so cool and skillful officers as they
proved to be. No amount of military read
ing can so fit an officer for a higher COM

cause for congratulation that the President
named a large number of regular officers of

A SIGNIFICANT FOURTH.

The news regarding the war yesterday
could not have been more gratifying than
it was. Fc lowing the somewhat discourage
ing intelligence of the early hours of Sun
day night. which caused the people in cities
TO retire with grave apprehension of the
situation at Santiago, the items of good and
better news during the later part Of the
night gave unbounded satisfaction. The
meager intelligence of the certainty of the
destruction of Cervera's fleet contained in
the morning papers was followed by the
assuring dispatch of Admiral Sampson pre-
senting to the United States the destruction
of Cervera's fleet as Fourth of July pres
ent. Following this came the official dis
patches of General Shafter to the effect
that he had demanded the surrender of
Santiago.
From remote Manila came news designed
to make the American citizen more than
ever pleased with the Fourth of July of
1885, This news was that the first expedi-
ton bearing troops to Manila has arrived
and the men had been landed, thus reliev-
ing the situation of any doubt, and notify
ing the world that the United States is now
in that quarter of the world to hold or dis
cur advantage and the welfare of people
that has long been oppressed by Spanish
misrule.
These important events so potential in in
fluence came on the day that is known far
and wide as that of the birth of new nation
which has come to be one of the great
forces in modern civilization. In it's in
fiuence upon the affairs of the world in the
years to come July 4, 1898, must be nearly
as important as was that when the immor-
tai declaration was issued. Then we pleaded
for national existence; yesterday we gave
notice to the world that, without seeking
the imperialism which means conquest, the
new nation proposes to make itself an in
fluential factor in the progressive civiliza-
ton which has sprung into life in recent
years AS day it marked the enancipa-
ton of every Spanish colony from the out
rage of Spanish rule.
So conclusive have been our triumphs the
past week that those whose jealousies
would have caused them to rejoice If we
had been covered with temporary defeat
will now conceal their i'll will and desire our
friendship. Those governments which have
been reported as proposing to interfere
with our affairs in the Philippines will
probably deny such rumors. Not so much
by what we obtained and celebrated yes
terday will our future influence in the
worlds affairs be recognized as by the ca
pacity we have displayed for taking larger
part in international affairs. 1t is of vast
significance that the nation possessing the
greatest wealth of any in the world, and
making a marvellous progress in all that
constitutes true national greatness has, by
its acts. declared a purpose to become an
active member in the family of nations.

OLD GLORY IN BRITAIN
STARS AND STRIPES IN EVIDENCE ON
THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Celebrations at Which EngIishmen
showed Their Sympathy with
America-JOy in the south.

LONDON. July 4-The fraternal senti-
ment evidenced here during the last few
months finds vent to-day throughout the
United Kingdom in an unprecedented dis
play of the stars and stripes in honor of the
Fourth of July, and in hearty expressions
of good will everywhere.
The afternoon newspapers are unanimous
in applauding the splendid courage of the
Americans before Santiago de Cuba and in
congratulating the United States on the sig
nal successes of its arms both in the East
and West.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "1nose who
have been drawing depressing conclusions
from the earlier kilograms reckoned with
out their Sampson, who has made such
thorough business of the destruction of the
Spanish fleet The strong presumption is
that the Americans hold Santiago at their
mercy. 1t is great Fourth of july.
The Westminster Gazette remarks: I'm
der the depressing circumstances suggested
by the earlier dispatches from Santiago, our
demonstration of friendlinesS would nat
urally have augmented rather than dimin-
ished. But to-day's message, indicating the
splendid triumph of Admiral Sampson has
given warmer tinge to the expression of
our friendly sentiment towards the people
of the United States"
Many diplomats attended the reception Of
the United States ambassador, Col. John
Hay at the latter's residence this after
noon. Nearly a thousand Americans an
unprecedented number, attended the ambas-
sadors reception although there were COM
paratively few tourists in town. There was
much enthusiasm over the war, many of the
ladies' present wearing American national
colors scarfs or in bonnets The COM
pany included most of the American literary
and theatrical people. Among the distin-
guished British subjects present were the
Marquis of Dufferin, Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford, the parliamentary secretary for
the Foreign Office, Mr.. George N. Curzon,
and Mrs. Curzon, the Ri. Hon. Herbert H.
Asquith, the former secretary of state for
home affairs, the Marquis and Marchioness
of Downshire, Sir Charles Walpole, former
ly chief justice of the Bahamas; Sir Charles
Howard Vincent, member of Parliament for
Central Sheffield, founder Of the United EN-
pire Trade League; Sir Henry Irving and
others. The Americans present included Mr.
and Mrs. Hays Hammond, Mrs. James
Brown Potter, Bret HarIe John Drew, Mrs

TIME TO END THE WAR.

The results OF the past few days must
convince the men in charge Of Spanish af-
fairs that it is worse than useless for that
nation to make an attempt to continue the
war. Spain's last and really only impor-
tant fleet has been destroyed while confess
ing it's weakness by running away. BY the
destruction of Cerveras fleet Spain has not
only ceased to be a naval power, but it is no
longer able to send troops or supplies to
Cuba. 1t cannot defend it's seaports from
bombardment 1t has 10000 men under arms
in Cuba, but they can win no victories that
can help Spain in the final adjustment, and
compelling those men to fight to surrender
will reflect no credit nor give prestige to
government two thousand miles away which
can no longer render them assistance. The
Spanish troops at Santiago, with their lead
ers, have displayed fighting characteristics
which affirm the warlike qualities of that
nation. What the Spanish nobility is pleased
to regard as their honor has now been as
well vindicated as it can be. In the future
the Spanish leaders should endeavor to
show the world that they have sufficient
wisdom to manage what is left to them as
a people. which can never be other than
country dependent upon the good will of
the nations which will control the affairs
Of the civilized world. Whether it con-
tinues the war or does not, Spain can never
again be factor in the affairs of the great
world which has left it in the rear.
If Spanish rulers have not the wisdom to
see that the time has come to ask for peace.
the nations with whose commerce it's hope
less contention interferes should cause them
to understand that they must make peace
AS for the United States, it cannot ask
others to intercede or to talk of terms. Now
or year hence the only condition of sur
render will be the REIMBURSEMENT of most
If not all of Spain's colonial possessions.
There is good reason to believe that the
events Of the past week will bring the war
to speedy termination without further
call for troops. and within thirty days

Dewey and sampson Likely to Re-

Outburst in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, July 4.-There was pro-
found interest in the achievement of Ad-
miral Sampson and his fleet at Santiago in
the Senate to-day, the only branch of Con-
gress in session. 1t was evidenced in the
fact that the dispatch of Admiral Sampson
was read and cheered in that body, as we'll
as by the comment in the cloakrooms. In
fact, little or nothing else was talked about
during the day. 1t was the unanimous opin-
ion that Congress should make suitable
recognition to Sampson and his men. The
general impression was that the rank of
both admiral and vice admiral in the navy
would be revived, and If no other events of
great importance occurred the achievements
Of Dewey and Sampson had created heroes
and naval commanders who would be enti-
tied to such honors. 1t is probable that
no bill will be introduced by the members
of the naval committee until there is an Of
fetal dispatch from the admiral and sent
to Congress by the President.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, July At has
just become known here that James Muir
ply, chief bugler of Teddy" Roosevelt's
Rough Riders" who was shot through the
hips in the fight at Sevilla, while advancing
toward Santiago, is none other than John
Pugh, of Upland, a small town six miles
west of here. Pugh was manager of the
Upland link smelling works. He was found
short in his accounts, and to destroy the EVIL
dence he set fire to the works, and when he
was suspected decamped for parts unknown
His friends afterwards learned that from
Upland he went to old Mexico, thence to
Texas, assuming the name of James Muir
ply. When the Rough Riders" were re-
cruited Pugh enlisted under the assumed
name of Murphy. Several condolences lead
to the belief that Murphy and Pugh sre
one. The Murphy wounded was a bugler
Pugh was cornet player and fine rnu-
stefan. Nothing would be more natural II an
that he should enlist as bugler. Another
young man with the Rough Riders was

WASHINGTON, July A remarkable
feature of the fighting in Cuba, and enc
much commented upon in military circles,
is the heavy loss In killed and wounded of
commissioned and noncommissioned officers.
In spite of the distress which the loss of so
many officers has occasioned. the army off,
Gals point to the list as a splendid evidence
of the dash and personal bravery of the men
who wear shoulder straps. Among the killed
and wounded since the first fight at Juragua
have been officers of every grade from col
onel down, and in numbers said to be almost
unprecedented in proportion to forces en-
gagged. The loss of officers in the two days
fighting around Santiago demonstrates to
military men that the Americans lead their
men wherever they are called upon to go,
and are setting an example which cannot
but elevate the esprit du corps of the army.
