PROUD OF US.
The English Are Loud in Their
Praises of American Fight
ing Qualities.

London, July 9.-The weekly newspa-
pers today in discussing the war all
pay glowing tributes to the American
navy. Even the Saturday Review
says: 1T is impossible not to feel a
certain pride in these achievements of
men of our own race. Every English
man, too, will remember that it was the
possession Of this same quality, the fine
craftsmanship, which the Americans
displayed, which gave us victories both
on land and on sea from Cressy to the
Crimea, and something peculiar and no.
BILE happened in this fight which show
ed in a far higher way the kinship be-
tween the two peoples: Don't cheer
shouted Capt. Phillip The poor devils
are dying
1T seems to us that this expression
Of tender, sympathetic humanity is just
as fine as the Kiss Me Hardy of the
dying Nelson
The Spectator in a long article on the
same subject says: The first thought
Of all EngIishmen is that the American
fleet did its work splendidly. The whole
performance of Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet was in accordance with the best
traditions of AnSlO-SaXOn naVies and
every Englishman has read of their
dOings with a flush of pride. There was
the same old, hard pounding as the
Elizabethan sea dogs used; the same
curious mixture of steadiness, daring
GOODNESS and reckless dash.
THE moral aspect of what was almost
the most and of what may be the last
fleet in action between the Spanish and
English races, is very much alike In
both cases it was the man behind the
gun, who in the last resort won the
battle.
The battle shows that the American
navy is a most efficient fighting ma
chine. We did not need to be told that
here We knew it already and realized
of what stuff the Lions Whelps are
made. They however did not know it
on the continent, though they apparent
ly know it now

GERMANY OUTCLASSED.
London Spectator Says There is No
Comparison Between Her
Navy and Ours.

London, July 9.-Most of the weekly
papers pay high tributes to the Ameri-
can navy. The Speaker says:
THE Santiago fight proves, so far as
the fleet -, concerned, that the United
States need not fear comparison with
any country in the world
The Spectator declares, as a con-
clusiOn from the battle, the conviction
that the American fleet could face even
the French fleet without great risk of
disaster, and it says:
so far as the German and American
navies go, there would be no cOmpari-
son. A struggle between them would
be very short and very complete and it
would surprise Emperor William, who
thinks himself invincibIe, but his self
confidence can not alter history"

YOUSOUF A BRUTE.
Turkish Wrestler and La Bourgogne
Engineer Attempted Murder.


New York, July 9.-The survivors of
the steamship La BOurgogne arrived
here yesterday from Boston and were
taken in charge by the Compagnie
Transatlantique officials The survivors
of the crew of La Bourgogne as they
passed through the station were Kissed
by the crowd.
From the testimony of three persons,
Otto Zercers of New York, VIM. A.
Chard of Baltimore, and Charles Lie
bra, chief cook of the Stafford hotel.
Philadelphia, it appears that the fourth
engineer of La BourgOgne, who was
saved acted in the most brutal man
ner toward the passengers. The three
men agree in the statement that after
the collision, when every one was sur
rounding the boats, the engineers said:
Damn the passengers. Let them
save themselves; we save ourselves
first" He also said that if he had a
revolver he would shoot the passengers.
Mr.. Zercers spoke in great praise of the
captain.
On the voyage Zebra became ac-
quainted with Yousouf, the wrestler,
who was a passenger. After the col
lision Liebra says he saw Yousout
struggling in a crowd of drowning pas
SengerS, beating them off with a StilettO
and showing them aside and trying to
reach a boat. He failed, however, and
went down.
L. Tarlaud, of New York, and Mons.
Lucas, from northern France, the lat
ter being a waiter on board the BOur-
gogne, each tell of being driven away
from boat containing Austrians, arm
ed with knives. While the Halifax was
entering the harbOr this morn
ing eight persons gave their names as
used knives to keep people out of their
boat.

CAMERA AT WEDDINGS.
at the Up-to-Date Marriage
Ceremony.

In the east the camera at O wedding
Is still something Of n novelty, to be
looked upon with surprise. II not with
open disapproval.
But out west nobody dreams Of get
ting married without u camera; it is
regarded as Indispensable, as much q
part of the performance as the clergy
man, certainly as much SO as the bride
groom. In these days of rampant
amateur photography it is hardly
necessary to call in professional
operator upon these occasions.
Some half-dozen members of every
bridal party are sure to be camera
fiends Of the first water, and it re-
qures much diplomacy TO decide
which one shall be asked to bring
along his or her camera. In nearly
every instance some ones feelings are
sure to be hurt. Sometimes two
cameras are present at marriage
ceremony. but more than this Is not
considered good form in the west.
In every house the photographs of
the bridal party form prominent
decorative feature, as is but natural
when they have been obtained under
such auspicious conditions.
