The True Situation.

Congressman Savers, of Texas, and a member of the Committee on appropriations, "struck the bulls eye and rang the bell'' when he said: T will not vote for an appropria tion to furnish food for suffering Cubans unless it be accompanied by armed intervention. Conditions in my judgment. are such that no such appropriations should be made by Congress unless so accompanied, in order to put an end to the strife. Unless this be done, the practical effect of any contribution by our government to feed Spanish sub iects would be so much substantial aid to the Spanish government. Spain could we'll afford for the United States to support her starv- Ing non -combatants, while her soldiers were fighting those revolu- tionists who were in arms against herautbority. This, in my opinion, IS the true situation, and the admins tration should face it and deal with it accordingly"
 And Congressman Savers is right It is needless to feed the Cubans while Spain goes along depauperiz ing them. It is altogether mistaken sympathy to make appropriations for their relief, which, under pres ent conditions, can only be tempo rary, while Spain is permitted to con- tinue a policy which makes such a condition of want and starvation possible. What the reeoncen trados want is an opportunity to make a l living and go about their own bust. ness. The United States should either intervene on grounds of hu- manity or else let Spain take care of her own starving people. It is a "snap" for Spain for the United States to feed the reconcentrados while Spain is left alone to do with them as she pleases. It is an out rage on the people of the United States to be taxed for such a pur- pose. Relief given in such a man ner is only temporary. If this government is going to aid Cubans, let it be in direct and decisive manner by intervention. Relieve Cuba of Spanish rule and the na. tives will be amply able to take care of and provide for themselves.

WE must confess that the report of the Court of Inquiry aud the Presidents message which accompa. nied the report, were unsatisfacto- ry. Neither told the people any thing new. The press had given the public practically the same in- formation weeks before. The Courts report was simply brief statement, backed by no couslusive evidence, such as to convince the world that its finding was indisputabe. The Presidents message was imply a review and 2 rehash of the Courts official report. It expressed no opinion. 1t told nothing new nor offered any solution of the knotty problem. It was simply words on paper without suggestion or the proposal of any definite policy for future dealings with Spain. To say the least, both were disappointing.

HIS DEFENCE TOO TRANSPARENT
William Schmidt Convicted of Burg
larry Despite His Mendacity.

William Schmidt, an all around New
York Crook came over to Hoboken on
April Is, to do some business, and was
discovered in the apartments Of Mrs.
Christina Schmidt, No. SO Monroe street.
Mrs. Bergfeld, a neighbor, who discov-
cred him, gave an alarm and the burglar
fled. He was pursued by Policeman
Guinan and captured after a chase of
several blocks. In his flight Schmidt
threw away a jimmy and a bunch of
skeleton keys.
Schmidt put in a defence which did
more credit to his lying abilities than his
~shrewdness. He said that he was en-
ployed by Detective Sergeant Reick of
New York to watch one Frank Harris, a
stool pigeon. He and Harris went to Ho-
boken together, and it was Harris who
broke into Mrs. Schmidt's apartments.
The defendant simply remained in the
hallway so thai he could see everything
that Harris did. Harris suddenly ran out
and thrust the Jimmy into the defendants
hand. AS it was his duty not to lose
sight of Harris. the witness ran after him
and as he was running along the jimmy
fell out of his sleeve.
Schmidt admitted that he had served
terms in prison in New York. He was
convicted,

REDEEMs ITSELF.
Company A Men Enlist and Help
Others Who Go to the Front.

Company A has in a measure redeemed
itself. The members are evidently
ashland of the stand they took against
enlisting. 1t is said thai scattered among
the five companies are tw~enty-eight men
from Company A. The majority of them
are in Company /, under Lieut.. A. La
Rue Christie.
The members of Company A held a
meeting last night and passed a series
of patriotic resolutions calculated to
raise them several pegs higher in the
estimation of the National Guardsmen
and the public at large. In the first
place they appropriated $50 for Company
I, in which most of the A men are en-
listed. They also agreed to send $50 a
month to the company as long as 1t is
away, the money to be used to buy to-
bacco and other Injuries for the boys.
They also agreed to provide for the fami-
lies of member who may need assist
ance.
After the meeting they took all the
member of Captain christie's company
to Alderman Mueller's, at Academy
street and Summit avenue, where a BAN
quet was spread for them.
The majority of the members of Conn
pany a who enlisted did so yesterday
after the regular rolls were made up.
Company A is abundantly able to help
its men as it has a surplus of over $500
in its treasury. IT will pay the dues Of
its men while they are away.

SCHLEY AND CERvERA.

Correspondence of The Associated Press.]
OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA. July 4,
189S.-On the return of the United States
cruiser Brooklyn to the blockade off Santi-
ago de Cuba, on the evening of July 3,
the Iowa reported to Commodore Sehley
that Admira Cervera, the commander of
the Spanish fleet, was on board. The
Commodore at once went over to pay his
respects.
The Spanish Admiral was much cast
down by his defeat, but preserved a dig
nihed and courteous demeanor notwith-
standing. He said he deeply appreciatee
the fact that the men. of the Brooklyn
did not exult by cheering when it was
learned that he was a prisoner on the
Iowa. He replied in response to the Com
modore's remark that it was the fortune
of war
Yes; but I've lost my career now that
I've been defeated"
Commodore Schley, however, told him
that such a brave deed as bringing out
his squadron could never be looked upon
otherwise than as a most gallant feat.
upon which Admiral Cervert threw his
arms around the Commodore and said:

Der probably $50, though he could not tell
definitely.
He spoke of the accuracy and deadli-
ness of the B~rooklyn's fire, saying thai
in the early part of the action one of her
shells had traversed the entire length Of
tile gun deck. killing and wounding prob
ably eighty men. On the Viscaya alone.
there We're 40 men killed. Admiral Ger
vera said he feared the losses might be
greater than he anticipated, for many
men were below the protective deck ard
when the ships were or fire it must have
been difficult for them to escape. He
added that all his Captains had been kill
ed or wounded; but, later, it was found
that the Captain of the C~ristobal Colon
was saved.
Admiral Cervera also said he had no
doubt but that at least three of the ships
would have gotten away had it not been
for the Brooklyn, the Oregon ana the
Texas.

PRACTICALLY OVER.
Russian View Of the War
Conditions; Philippine
Policies.
Thy cable 10 The Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG. July u, 18sS.-Dis-
cussing the events of the war between
Spain and the United States, which 1t
regards as practically over. The "Novoe
vremya'' observes thai the political sit
uation largely depends pom the attitude
of Russia. 1t adds
with respect TO the Philippine Islands
the time has arrived to clearly state Rus
sia's policy
Continuing, the "Novoe vremya' re-
Marks
Russia has no positive interests in the
Philippine Stands. If they are divided,
the best parts will fall to Germany,
Great Britain and 5apan. thereby
strengthening them in the Pacific. There
fore, it is to Russia's advantage that the
Philippine Islands remain in the posses
sion of a single Power, whether Spain or
the United States, and Russia you'd pre-
fer to see the Stands in the possession
of Spain and under the protection of the
United States, who would keep out other
claimants. BY working in this direction
Russia would not only uphold her own
interests but would serve the cause OF
general peace.'

BIG PRIZE MONEY


WASHINGTON, July IL, 1S9S.-Some-
thing over $500 900 win be paid by this
Government as head money to the Of
vera's fleet. This is according to the law.
which provides payment Of 500 q head
for every man on the ships Of an enemy
when these ships are destroyed A few
of the officers will receive pretty good
fortunes.
The law governing the distribution OF
this money is very explicit. There are
exact provisions for carrying it into eff
feet. and every man, according to his
rank, will be paid in due season. This
statute is as follows.
A bounty shall be paid by the United
States for each person on board any
ship or vessel of war belonging to an
enemy at the commencement Of an en-
gagement, which is sunk or otherwise
destroyed in such engagement by any
ship or vessel belonging to the United
States or which it may be necessary to
destroy in consequence of injury sus-
tanned IN actfsr, CT s1ea, If the enemyss
vessel was inferior force, and OF $500 If
of equal or superior force, to be divided
in the same manner as prize moneys;
and when the actual number of men en-
board any such vessel cannot be salts
factorily ascertained it shall be estimated
according to the complement allowed the
vessels of its class in the Navy Of the
United States; and there shall be paid as
bounty to the captors of any vessel of
war, captured from an enemy, which
they may be instructed to destroy or
which is Immediately destroyed for the
public interest but not in consequence
of injuries received in action, $50 for ev-
cry person who shall be on board at the
time of such capture.
According to this law, the officers and
men Of SIMPSONS feet will. be entitled
to 500 for every officer and mar on board
the six Spanish ships that were destroy
ed off Santiago. Records in the Bureau
Of Intelligence, at the Navy Department,
show the complement of officers and men
on the ships as follows
Vizcaya, 500; Marie Teresa, SOC; Almi-
rante Oquendo, 500; Christobal, $50; Flu
ror, G.; Pluton, 70. Total, 2.087.
On this reckoning the Government will
pay to the officers and men of Samp-
sons fleet s20S. 100. The figures In Com
modore Watson's despatch to the Navy
Department are slightly different, but
change the result only a trife.
