The opinion seems to be gaining ground
in Europe that the United States is con-
ferring great favor upon Spain by taking
her colonies from her. So far as the people
OF Spain are concerned, this may be the
case, but the thousands of Spaniards whom
the colonies have been made to support as
officials will think differently.

Capt. H. c. Taylor. who commanded the
battle ship Indiana in the fight which re-
suited in the destruction of the Spanish
fleet at Santiago, has written Rear Admiral
Brown long letter of congratulation be-
cause of the interest which. as native of
Indiana and naval officer. he has taken
in the famous battle ship. With this per-
sonal letter was sent an account of the part
the Indiana took in the famous fight which
resulted in the destruction of the Spanish
fleet The position which the Indiana occu-
pied in the line Of battle guarding the har-
Dor made it the duty of that ship to devote
its attention TO the Teresa, the Oquendo and
the two destroyers. One OF the thirteen sch
shells of the Indiana cut the destroyer Plu-
ton almost completely in half, setting her
on fire. Attention was then directed to the
Furor, which the Gloucester had engaged,
which was sunk before being able TO reach
the shore. At the same time there had been
no cessation in the fire Of the main batteries
OF the Indiana upon the Teresa and the
Oquendo. 1t was a thirteen-inch shell from
the Indiana which struck the port quarter

Partial Failure of the L. A. w. Meet

II
1t is not fair to ascribe the small attend
ance at the national wheelmen's meet to
the refusal of railroads to grant low rates.
as disappointed local wheelmen are doing.
A good many things conspired to make the
attendance small. The rates may have had
something to do with it, but it is safe to
say that had the railroad managers believed
a large number was likely to attend they
would have made reductions accordingly. 1t
is absurd to suppose that the roads would
discriminate against wheelmen or against
Indianapolis. They knew from past expe-
rience that the annual meets do not draw
large numbers from distant parts of the
country A great number of visiting wheel
men were in Philadelphia at the meeting
last year. but this set no precedent for at
tendance elsewhere. A large proportion of
them were from the nearby cities of New
York, Washington and Baltimore, and of
the Western visitors many made the meet
only an incident of their travels, extending
their journey after its close to seaside re-
sorts. General conditions, too, affected the
attendance, as they affect the attendance
at the Omaha exposition. The thoughts of
the public have been upon the war, and,
though times are good, there has been less
disposition to travel and seek recreation
than in ordinary seasons. Moreover, the
League of American Wheelmen is not in a
particularly flourishing condition, If re-
Gently published and as yet undisputed
statement that its membership was falling
off is to be believed In any case its mem
bership includes but a very small proportion
of the men and women who ride wheels, and
it is far from being the case that every
wheel rider is interested in wheel racing.
On the contrary, it is probable that the
great majority care little or nothing about
it, the wheel to them being an article of
utility and valued for the particular pur-
confers certain advantages which have been
enumerated in these columns before, but it
is difficult to convince the everage wheel
man of this fact; hence their apathy con-
corning its interests and proceedings.
For several reasons it is matter for re-
greet that so few visitors were present. The
disappointment is great to the local man
ayers, the young men who worked so earn
estly and with such enthusiasm for its sue
cess. They deserve congratulations, how
ever, on what they did achieve. Their part
was well done, whatever else may have been
lacking Nothing was omitted within the
resources of the city that could have added
to the entertainment of the visitors. Cir
cumstances over which they had no control
combined against them. but SO far as they
and their city are concerned they have rea-
son for satisfaction. In everything except
attendance the meet of 1898 was success.
