daylight: one would fancy that. spite
of searchlights. he would have chosen
the cover of the night. The hour
chosen by Cervera proves that he is a
willy Spaniard-he chose the hour when
our forces were least on guard.
Think Of what might have happened
had this surprise demoralized our forces.
The loss Of fifteen minutes on our part
might have proved disastrous. Cervera
had swift ships. Every quarter hour
would have increased p~erceptably the
distance separating him from the ships
of our fleet that. in a face-to-face en-
counter. could have been the most ef-
fectual against him.. There wasn't a
minute to spare at Santiago. The man
ner in which our side met a situation
thus precipitated and the accuracy OF
their work add new glory to the naval
service of the United states.

Aner the Battle.

ANE men cannot comprehend the
~ policy hat prompts the people
" in SPANS ministry TO practice
such arrant deception on their coun-
rymen An amazing thing is this
mornings account. under Madrid date.
Of the false hopes which those In au-
thority have sought to raise respecting
Cervers's fate.
One can see how the members of the
Spanish ministry might be h of wal
news from American sources, but II ~
simply incredible that Information
which was known days ago in Paris in
London and in Berlin to be true. should
not have been in possession OF the
Madrid cabinet as late as yesterday
afternoon-that cannot be. We Ameri-
cans do not understand the Spanish
temperament. but IL is manifest le-
specting humanity everywhere mat TO
arouse the masses to exalted expecta-
ton. under false representations. SIM
ply makes the revulsion the more pro-
nounced: il is like the swinging of the
pendulum. So that the slluring tale
which the Spaniards have been Per
suaded 10 accept till now is a deception
that passes understanding.
The world moves so rapidly that in
every nook and corner of our own coun-
try The news of the defeat OF CarNera
is an old story and the American pub
lie is clamoring for new achievements.
This mornings most interesting dis
patch tells of the hot chase n the
final o~vertaking of the Cristobal Co
lon-it was a sixty-mile pursuit. Eek
citing II must have been; it's conclusion
was thoroughly satisfactory. Accord
ing to all accounts Schley is the man in
authority whom circumstances favored
last sunday-he had the directing of
the fight.
As for the movements of the land
forces. prudence has evidently dictated
a delay in the movement against SAN
tisgo. 1t transpires that several of our
commanders were among the sick dur
ing the days of last weeks heavy fight.
ing. it will not be surprising IL each
days delay swells the number of oul
troops who cannot Withstand the con
ditions surrounding them; II is ardently
10 be hoped that ships from the flee
will find a safe passage into the a
Dor and end the delay which 1T hes
must be p~erilously Ions If the plan is t,
wait for reinforcements.
