TIlC OFFENDING BATTLE

The battle which will take place In
the neighborhood Of Santiago will not
be child's play. The Spaniards have
as many men within reach as we have,
and they have many advantages in
lighting upon their own SOIL
Gen. Linares has force Of about
$1,000 men. we'll intrenched. They are
supported by the guns OF Cervera's
squadron. His vessels are now in such
a position that they are out OF the reach
of SIMPSONS shells. but can keep up
a deadly fire In the direction Of our
land forces. Skaters command con-
sists of 1900 men, aided by 1000 Gu
bans, which would not be too much even
If he had only Linares 10 contend with,
we being the assailants; but he Is being
approached by two large reinforce
ments. consisting of nearly 10000 men,
who are arriving in about equal di-
visions. one from Manzanillo and one
from Holguin
The probability is that these two d.
visions will unite before attacking
Shafter, and they will make a dash to
get into Santiago while Cervera rakes
thu country with his heavy guns. II
the Spaniards should be able 10 break
through the lines and get inside the

Unionism is just suck an agreement

necessary. because without such organ
cations. wages would become demorAl-

skill enters very largely into that OF
wages Most employers have no objec-
ton to paying the highest fair price Tor
the most efficient work: the objection
usually is to having q careless, slow or

pay as the man who gives in return .
better quality of work.
Mr.. Biackman had the courage to de-
clare a truth which is not always ac-
ceptabiy received when he said that the
day of strikes had passed: and that they
die not put bread and butter into the
mouths Of the laboring men. 1t Is true
that strikes have not proved successfui;
but It is no less true that some means
must be found to insure for laborers
that their rights shall be respected and
that they shall not be made the victims
OF the pressing necessities Of their own
craft. The friends of labor would be
more outspoken against the evil OF
strikes if they were prepared to offer
an efficacious substitute. The work.
ingman, who finds himself ground down
and unable to secure wages sufficient
To live decently upon, may well ask,
What do you offer US in place Of
striking?" Generalities do not supply
the want: the suggestion will probably
not come from employers. 1t viii have
to be made by unionism itself.
The recommendation made by Mr..
Blackman. that ii is the duty Of every
member of union to see that good,
true men were placed in the legislative
halls. only half meets the difficulty. 1t
is no use sending to the legislature men
who will seek to curry favor with labor
by lacking on impracticable amend
ments to general bills. Much more good
could be accomplished by having one
man as a representative with fair.
moderate measure which would COM
mend itself to all classes and afford
means by which disputes could be set

SPANS CADIZ FLEET.
Report That 1t VIII Go to the Phil
fpEfnes.

New York. May 23-A special cable to
the Herald from Cadiz Spain, says:
1t is stated here very positively that the
Pelayo. Carlos V. three of the transat-
lantic steamers and two torpedo boats
are about to sail for the Philippines.
The Pelayo is well armed. armored and
manned. and has good guns, but her
heavy ones forward will not swing. owing
TO defects in the machinery and can only
be fired directly ahead.
The captains of these boats are good
men and experienced, but Admiral Ca
mara is regarded by naval men as difficult
to work with. giving orders and contra
dieting them almost in the same breath
He is from Malaga.
II is said here that there are mines in
Manila harbor that were not exploded
when the American feet entered, the cleo
trio communication being out OF order.
This has, so 1t is reported, now been rec
titled, and preparations are complete to
give Admiral Dewey a warm good-by
should he attempt to leave. This rumor
will bear a big lump of salt
1 hear that the Spanish fleet left ST.
Vincent without instructions from the
government at Madrid. and that Admiral
Cervera wired: THE state OF my country
compels me to go 10 meet the enemy
The captains of the Vizcaya, Almirante
Oquendo and the Maria Teresa are excel
lent commanders. These ships are ali in
good shape and powerful. being heavily
armored and well handled. The Cristobal
Colon has no heavy guns. and, therefore.
is not formidable. but all four of them
are of 1909 tons each and can steam 20 to
21 knots. They are the ships our Navy
has most to fear.
The Spaniards are preparing the two
steamers Normannia and Columbia, now
the Rapido and Patria. to take on heavy
guns If they strengthen the ships prop
erly the work will require several months.
The cruiser Alfonso XII will remain at
Cadiz as a guardship. but, as her boilers
are insufficient, she cannot steam more
than to knots. and, therefore. is not
of much use
I feel certain there are at least fifty
mines well laid in the bay of Cadiz.
