THE FIRST VICTIMS.

Death GOES hand In hand with war. IT is the
expected that happens when men rail- on Inc
battlefield. It IS a matter for wonder that our
first decisive victory AT Manila should have cost
no American lives Perhaps since then we have
been n little inclined to think Of war rs spec
tacle at which We We're to look and applaud ma
iestic ships booming away nj other machines

brought to us the first fatalities Of the war. n
sorrow already wonderfully delayed. Our gaping
street crowds may not think so much of
war rs n picnic. II easy to feel compassion
for the hundreds Of brave Spanards who died
fighting for a bad cause without having very
solemn views Of war or of the individuals re-
sponslbllity In IT, But the first break N our own
ranks. the first sorrow In American homes. must
make US realize that this war Is no playing mat
ter, that II is no matter for individual AMBITIONS
for political wire pulling. for financial specula-
ton. and that :he one duty Of every man Is TO
help the Government to bring 1t to speedy
close, whether or not he gets the command ne
wants. or goes in his own militia regiment or
secures n high price for his mules, or bas the
taxes levied after his own pet plan. To play
with war IS to send to their death brave fellows
who have no part OF the game. who are the help
less victims OF all selfishness which interferes
with public affairs.

nell. George B. Meek and J. Denfee are names

have been at the mercy Of the batteries, and 10

reckless acts are essential In war, where the
few must take all chances and scout for the
safety Of the many. Somers knew he went TO

but as the first victims they will not be for
gotten.
1t Is worth while also to remember that the
South furnishes the first sacrifice OF this war
Ensign Bagley was native Of North Carolina.
With his blood he has sealed the union In arms
Of the North and South. A people who once
fought against the Stars and Stripes send one
of their sons as the first sacrifice for the honor
and glory Of that flag There Is no North and

INvTNCIBLE. BECAUSE INVISIBLE.

The dispatches permitted by rigid Spanish CEN
sorshp to be sent from Cadiz announcing he
return Of the fleet from St Vincent and the con
centratlon Of all available vessels at Cndz must
be either n deliberate untruth intended TO blind
this country TO some plan or n confession Of The
failure Of the Spanlards, now deprived In part
Of English engineers and other foreign assist
ants TO handle the delicate and complicated ma
chinery Of modern vessels. That the ships may
be actually crippled through that cause is posi-
bic. The public denial by the Spanish Minister
of Marine that the feet had returned to Cadiz is
useful only as proof that somebody is lying,
and for some purpose. That the Cape yerd
feet actually took on board all the coal it could
POSSIBLY carry, and much more than was needed
for voyage TO Cadiz. and was delayed some
days waiting for coal transports to arrive is
proved by many eye-witnesses, and 1t is hlso
proved thahit sailed one whole day westward.
