THE FIRST ENCOUNTER.

Conclusions Based on the Result Of the
Bombardment ut Matanzas.
News of the first encounter of the
war at Matanzas warrants certain i'm.
portant conclusions:
First. The gunnery ON board oul
ships is of the very best. Admiral Samp'
sons bluejackets seem to have sent ev
cry shell, even when firing at long
range, to the spot intended.
Second. shells did their work
SO effectively that in precisely Is min
utes the Spanish batteries were destroy.
cd, their guns dismounted and their Ca
paoity to resist overthrown.
Third. The extraordinary incapacity
Of Spanish gunners to hit anything
smaller than the gulf of Mexico was
shown by the fact that even when firing
at only Q, 900 yards distance on the firm
land they were unable TO strike great
battleship with q single shell. At that
distance good gunner behind q {
FOUNDER smoothbore cannon of the date
Of 1919 would at least have struck his

The next thing will pretty certainly
be to take the now defenseless town,
land force there and make it base Of
supplies for the insurgents and for our
own army when we throw one into Gu.
ba. There are still two months before
the rainy season. The weakness OF
Spanish resistance encourages the belief
that with vigor we can end the war be-.

GEN. HOWARD ON THE WAR,


He Thinks Armed Intervention In Cuba
. Righteous Course.
At the meeting Of the Congregational
club in Boston the other night General
o. o. Howard, who was the guest Of
the club, made stirring speech upon
the present crisis. After reviewing at
length the causes which have led up to
the war with Spain, General Howard
said in part: "The Cubans have shown
their faith by their works. They deserve
the sympathy and help Of this republic,
and that sympathy and help are now
rendered in way that will bring to
the island permanent relief.
'Some men cry ont that the Cubans
are uneduoated, but we have been edu-
eating them for years and years. We
have colonies of them in all our large
cities, and many of the young men who
are with Gomez today have been scien-
tifically educated in our polytechnic in
stitutions. have no fear Of the Cuban
people not being able to govern them
selves.
"The nations are still deceived by the
cry of defense of honor. But where is
the honor of government that has liv-
ed by extortion and that has murdered
by starvation hundreds OF thousands Of
It's children? oh, all that has ceased
now,' they tell rs, but am not dispos-
ed to trust giant who has destroyed
even 100 children. I would restrain
him, even IL I believed in his genuine
repentance, for fear of his backsliding.
"Some one recently said to mo. How
would you have liked to have England
and other nations intervene in 1861?
answered that il we had shut up women
and children and old men in trochas
and kept them there by force, with in
sufficient or no food, until 200, 900 Of
them had perished and thousands more
had become only walking skeletons the
nations Of the earth would not have
been Christian nations had they not in
tervened to stop us in our madness. -
