The difference between a battleship
and an nrmored cruiser is technical. and
experts have stumbled over the matter.
A battleship is supposed to have heavier
guns anG armor and to be better fitted
to withstand hard knocks from an OPP
posing force. But this does not always
hold good, as may be seen i'll the Ease of
the Maine rs compared with the Brook
Ign. The Maine was II battleship, but
she was not SO large nor SO heavily ur-
mored as the armored cruiser Brooklyn.
On one point there GEMS to be no dis
pute, and that is the fact that the
cruisers are faster than the battloships.
and it is conceded also that III most in
stances the battleships are better pro-
tected. New York Tribune.

The officers and crew of the torpedo
beat destroyer Bailey. which is now
being constructed in this city, will en-
joy very few Of the comforts OF travel-
ing while they are chasing around the
ocean after torpedo boats. For that
matter, none of the modern warships
devote much space for comfort during
a war. But the Bailey men Will be
cramped for space all the time. The
crew will sleep in folding berths. and
the officers cabins will be fitted up
like sleeping cars. Probably on no 9
sci in the navy will they be o
cramped for space than on this fleet
little chaser. which will make thirty
three knots an hour when she Is In a
hurry. The tendency of late years has
been 10 economize space as far as pos
sible. The formerly given to
cabins. wardrooms and berth decks Is
now devoted to coal bunkers, ammuni-
ton compartments and the housing OF
great guns. The captain of the wooden
battleship Of the last century had far
roomier quarters than the admiral OF
gu fleet has today. The folding berth
device. however, is a new one. and 1t
remains to be seen whether It COM
mends itself to the navy or not. To
be penned up in such quarters for a
three-months' cruise on a southern
blockading station may be more than
even the fine endurance of our plucky
sailors can stand.-Mail and Express.

Penn had q very strong aversion to
tobacco. Once he came unexpectedly
upon some of the Friends who were en-
joying the fragrant weed. but out Of
respect for their great leader they hid
their pipes. which, however, still con
tiuued to emit smoke. Perceiving this.
the governor said pleasantly. well,
friends, | an glad to see that you are at

IN CASE OF PEACE.

There are those who seem to believe
that military operations OF the United
States will cease the moment peace Is
declared. But negotiations for peace
will not recall our army from Cuba or
the Philippines or from Porto Rico un-
til stable governments have been estab-
lished. In the first weeks Of the war
1t was not planned to send volunteer
regiments abroad, but the exigenctes
of war have carried volunteers as well
as regulars to the Philippines, have
hurried volunteers u we'll as regulars
to Cuba, and have carried Thousands Of
the voluntees Of the naval err to
warships that may be ordered to the
-four quarters OF the globe. The chances
are that In case of pes &c military opera

sive, but rather in an administrative
way. for several months.
In case Of peace the government in
Cuba must be recognized. and it is pos
period Spaniards and Cubans will 10Th
have to be closely supervised. 1t may
be that the regiments of the regular
army will be adequate to this work.
but many Of the volunteer regiments
will have to be held in reserve. In the
Philippines the scope OF the work will
depend upon the status of the islands
under the treaty of peace. In Porto
Rico there will be a period OF econ
struction which will leave the islands
a part OF the United States. The open
Ing OF negotiations for peace, may not
mean the conclusion of peace. and there
Ia not likely to be any treaty of peace
the conditions Of which are not salts
factory to the United States.
The interests involved in the war are
all to be looked after. The rights Of this
country are to be maintained. There Is
to be no interference from any quarter.
The war policy does contemplate
the surrender OF any advantages in the
face of threat from any foreign power.
In case of peace there will be no such
fighting as there was in front OF Santi-
ago. but there will be lots of work for
the army and the navy to do.-Inter

THE BOYS ARE OFF.

Our soldier boys have taken the first step in their new career. In a short time their valor will be put to the test. We have no doubt that they will uphold the honor of Arizona. They are fine body of soldiers. They have enlisted at more trying time than those who went to the front under the first call of troops. They know that this war with Spain is a serious mat ter. Much blood has been shed; more will be shed before Spain shall accept the inevitable. The troops from the territories are popularly supposed to possess superior qualifications as skir- mishers and bush fighters, and as the Spaniards are fond of that class of fighting there will be more or less of 1t until the close of the war. In enlist ing now, with the certainty that they will see active service !n the future, these Arizonians display the finest kind of patriotism. All honor to them! May they pass unscathed through the dangers of the service they have so enthusiastically embraced.
Arizona republican., 1898-07-06
PROGRESSIVE DEGENERACY.

There is world of truth in the fol- lowing from the New York Sun con- corning the latest effort of the demo- cratic party to get off on the wrong side of the war question::
 "The democratic party seemed sufi- ciently unwise in 1896, when it gaily threw away everything of democracy but the name, and moved in new stock of furniture, with silver service as the chief ornament.
 Having opposed manifest common sense in 1896 with such striking re suits, the democrats, not without many indications of mutiny in their ranks, appear now to be preparing to oppose manifest destiny.
 'tSo they go from bad to worse They ache for a bitterer basting. They are not satisfied with whips. They itch for scorpions.
 ''The United States are going to ex- pand. The democratic party seems anxious to contract"

SPAIN AND THE HOSPITAL SHIPS.

It is greatly to be regretted that the decision of the authorities that the hospital ships shall invariably run away from the Spaniards, on account of Spain's cruel methods in war, is justified. There is no reason to be lieve, from anything that Spain has done or refrained from doing, either in our war or in its efforts to put down the Cuban insurrection, that hospital ship crowded with wounded and dying men would be respected by Spanish naval CT military officers. On the contrary, there is every reason to believe that the Spaniards would de- light in making war upon the dying. Their reported mutilatiOn of the ma rines who fell at Guantanamo is de- nied, but that denial does not change our estimate of the possibilities of Spanish character, judging entirely from the cruelties that they have practiced in Cuba. The Spaniards are the last remnants of white barbarians. and, like their prototypes of the mid dle ages, whom they closely resemble. they have the savage instincts and methods that are found nowhere else in civilized Europe in this nineteenth century except fin Turkey, and, with the exception Of Spain and Turkey, are found only among the uncivilized red men of the remote regions of our own continent, and the brown and black and yellow men of Africa and Asia.-I Harper's Weekly.

A WONDERFUL VICTORY.

The victory of the American fleet at Santiago was one of the most stupen- dous in the history of naval warfare. Here were seven Spanish ships, five of them armored cruisers of great strength and speed-the flower of the Spanish navy-and two torpedo boat destroyers. rushing at full speed and in line of battle into the open sea from Santiago harbor. Every gun on board the Spaniards was pumping shot and shell at the Americans. It was a magnificent display of courage by the Spanish admiral. According to the preconceived notions of foreign naval experts such a fleet, in fighting array, damage on it's opponents. Bear in mind that five of these ships had been rated as superior to any of their class in our navy. The New York and the Brooklyn, our armored cruisers at Santiago, were not believed to be equal to any one of these five. As for the destroyers Furor and Fulton, who has not heard of their terribly destructive powers? Out they sailed, these war ships of Spain, at twenty knots an hour, their batteries vomiting shells. What followed will cause thrills of pride wherever Old Glory is beloved. The Oregon, the Massachusetts, the Iowa, the Indiana, the New York, the Texas, the Brook lyn and the lesser American ships of the blockading squadron were pouring shells into the Spaniards be- fore they had proceeded a mile from the harbor's mouth. Every American shot went home. The Spaniards fired wild. One by one the Spanish crack a-jacks were driven ashore and blown up. The Cristobal Colon, noted for her speed was run down by the Brook lyn and beached to prevent her sink ing. The battle was over inside of two hours. Excepting. the Colon, every Spanish ship was destroyed Many Spaniards had been killed, 1900 at least had been captured. Only one American life had been lost. No dam age had been sustained by the Amer ican fleet.
 And this ended the second startling sea fight of this war-a fight that will illumine the pages of naval history for all time to come.
 Admiral Sampson and his officers have shown themselves to be magnifi- cent sailors and fighters. The Ameri- can navy today, in men, in ships, in guns, is equal, man for man, ship for ship, gun for gun, to any navy in the world. We take off our hat to Samp- son and his gallant company.
