Glory Enough for All.

There is glory enough in the naval VIC
tory at Santiago to go around. Every man
should have the credit which Is due, with
out depreciating any one else.
Thu acting admiral In command of the
fleet under whose general directions the
ships were stationed and instructed for the
purpose of preventing Cervera's escape,
cannot possibly be- deprived of his share of
the credit for the brilliant achievements of
his ships, no matter how small his personal
participation in these exploits.
The commodore who was the ranking off,
Ger on the scene of actual battle, who was
in command in the thick of the fight, whose
flagship was the target of the enemy's con-
centrated fire, and who received the surren-
der of the last of the enemy's ships cannot
be denied a very large slice of Santiago
glory.
The men in command of the warshps of
the republic who responded promptly and
effectively to the enemys challenge, and
who in the hurry of the unexpected encoun-
ter and chase Unanswered and fought al
most entirely on their own individual judg-
ment, irrespective of admiral and commo-
Gore, are entitled to full credit for their in
diyidual victories.
The brave men upon our ships are also to
be remembered. and especially the gunners,
who have clothed themselves In imperish-
able glory.
This Ia no time for spfteful backbitings
and Jealous wranglings among those whom
the republic and the world honor for the
wonderful victory of Santiago.

William G.. Moore.

Major William G. Moore. the chief of the
Washington police force, who died this
morning. was thoroughly Identified with
the capital city. Like his father. he was
born in Washington and made this city his
home throughout his long life. His various
occupations brought him into close contact
with many thousands and his friends were
legion. His participation IN the defense of
the capital in the early days of the civil
war gave him his first acquaintance with
military matters and in letter life he was
closely identified with the oldest of the
city's volunteer military organizations
The high regard in which men held him
was demonstrated by the successive posi-
lions of honor and trust in which he was
placed. and it remains to his high credit to
be said that in all he met worthiy the re-
sponsibilit4es confronting him. HIS latest

The Effect of sagasta's Resiruatiou.

The cabinet crisis In Spain may make
either for peace or for more vigorous war.
Two elements are apparently striving for
control In the event OF a reorganization
such as now seems inevitable In view of
Sagas-a's resignation. These are headed
respectively by Silvela, who inclnes toward
peace, and Robledo. who stands for the
military sentiment typefed by weyler. The
crown Is more likely. 1t Is thought, to favor
the Silvela faction. for it represents the
sentiment OF fidelity to the present dynasty
that has animated all recent ministries In
Spain, while Weyler is strongly suspected
of Carhst prochvities. and Robledo may

Commodore schIey.

The Star last week expressed the opinion
that Commodore Schley was in no SYM
pathy with the outcry being made in his
name over the honors of the sea fight at
Santiago. The commodore has now for
Iaally assured the Navy Department of this
fact 1t must have mortified him intensely
to find himself represented as the sparrow
in the nursery rhyme shrilly insisting that
he killed Cock Robin with his bow and ar
row. He awaits the official report of his
superior officer with entire composure. He
is not weariIg out any shoe-leather on his
quarter deck worrying over the matter of
his personal fame. His fame as it relates
to that fight is secure.
But the agitation in his name, offensive
as it is to him, will go on. His disavowal
of any sympathy with it will not affect it
at all At bottom, in some quarters, it is
intended less TO benefit him than to injure
Acting Admiral Sampson. Its violence and
vUlgarity show that. And it will fail. Such
maneuvers always do fail. The honors in
the way of promotions will be awarded
without any regard whatever to this
clamor, though, unfortunately, it will not
be in the power of the authorities to relieve
Commodore Schley of the embarrassment
into which he has been plunged by fool
Il
enemies of Acting Admiral Sampson.
Apparently the army is to get the next
dose of this stuff. The enemies Of General
Miles have it in for him" They have been
swapping at his heels ever since the war
began. He has been described as a Sybar-
lite with shoulder straps; as a handsome
poseur; as "a general on paper" Back
stairs tittle-tattle and small insinuations
have been industriously gathered and put
in circulation. He is now at the 'front.' and
his time has come 1t is OF small conse-
quence TO his enemies and detractors in the
rear what he may do or leave undone. He
is certain not to take the right course. If
he is not accused of an effort to as, ASSN
ste General Shafter he will be lucky man.
But every other rod is already in pickle for
him.
Fortunately, efforts to give substance to
tealousies and enmities such as these usu-
ally fail. They are almost invariably over
done. The real object in view is exposed,
and that always shows the littleness of
both the performance and the performers.

Barbaric Spanish Traits.

1t appears from interviews with the
higher Spanish naval officers captured at
Santiago that they look forward to moth
ing from the government which they have
recently been serv;r save reprimands and
disgrace. Admiral Ceryera is quoted as
saying that life holds nothing further for
him, while of Capt. Eulate, late of the
Fizcaya, 1t is said that, having no indie
pendent income, he is deeply respondent in
contemplating his future, inasmuch as he
can expect no further employment from
his government in the naval service. These
sentiments and fears reflect most seriously
upon Spain. No more severe indictment
&C uld well be drawn against that nation
than that 1t will refuse to honor the men
whose only offense is that they were placed
in command of ships which in battle proved
Inferior to those of the enemy. Admiral
Cervera was ordered to leave Madeira I'M
prepared for a long cruise. His supplies
of all kinds, it now appears, were short
and his ships were out of condition. After
he had been bottled up in Santiago harbor,
apparently largely through the fault Of
the condition of the squadron, he was
harassed with orders to leave which finally
drove him out in a desperate dash for lib
erty. That he failed is to be attributed
jointly to the superiority of the blockaders
and to the inferiority of his own force
But this inferiorlty reflects solely upon the
nation and not upon him personally,
upon his captains. Cervera is a hero and
deserves to be treated as such by his own
people. Yet he and his officers, imprisoned
by kindly foe, can see nothing ahead
but disgrace and misfortune. They look
in vain for the plaUdits of their own peo-
pie, who should have been aroused to
heights of enthusiasm and admiration by
this gallant, desperate, heroic enterprise.
If these officers were Americans and were
in similar position they would receive the
praises and the thanks of their compatriots
regardless of their defeat, and their ulti-
mate homecoming would be marked by
the warmest of welcomes.

buttons for the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands that territory became a part of the
United States, and with it came the postal
savings bank system that has been in sue
cessful operation in those islands more
than a dozen years.
If Congress would extend to the whole
country the benefits Of the system that is
in operation within annexed territory thu
annexation of the Hawaiian republic might
prove of immediate benefit to the people of

Again we hear the old fake about the
first news of war events appearing in the
morning papers. The humiliation of Ger
vera's squadron is cited as an example.
What story did the third edition have of
that? This: That Sampson had broken in
to Santiago bay, sunk three Of the enemy's
ships there and allowed one to escape in
some incomprehensible manner Also that
Ceryera had committed suicide. And on
me same day the evening papers told what

IT'S work. The conclusion is inevitable that
II the brake equipment WAS adequate, the
lead was the primary cause of the disaster,
ard this brings responsibility for the trag
edy equally to the doors Of those who are
In charge of the service. Their conrribu-
ton to the causes of the affair may arise
either from their neglect to provide a suffi-
cient service to accommodate the traffic, or
from their culpable negligence in permit
ting the passengers to crowd upon the car
until 1t was incapable Of safe management.

Jnsting this matter Of the direct account

should take steps to prevent It's repetition.
