Washington, Aug. 24.-The state
ment published in the Cincinnati
Times-Star that John R. Mclean
would not interest himself in the Ohio
democratic convention because he was
to succeed Secretary Alger in McKin-

BY this time both vessels are in full

clear, the men on the one iron monster
can see the other, with its flags fly
ing from every point where they can be

FIGHTING craft, cleared for

A FIGHTING craft cleared for
~ action, loses much of its resem-
Il n blance to the vessel as 1t lies IN
a harbor on a mission of peace, says
the st. Louis Republic. The lines and
| halyards which stretch In all direc-
tons disappear; the graceful davits go
below, the canvas awnings, the coils
of hawser, the ships boats, and every
article useless in the fight are taken
below deck, to the designated place for
each. This action Is necessary in order
that the men may have plenty of room
to work, and it also lessons the dan
ger, as, mayhap a shell which would
go clear of the ship strikes a steel line
or other light obstruction and falls up
on deck, destroying many lives and
perhaps exploding IA load of powder
which sends the vessel to the bottom.
At the signal to clear every man on
board runs to his post The yardmen
handle the halyards, the canyasmen
look to the coverings and others to the
boats. If a ship is at anchor the boats
are dropped over the side, after their
plugs are drawn, as 1t is then possible
to raise them after the fight. If at sea
they are thrown over to take care of
themselves. This is done for the rea-
son that men most fear amid a shower
of shot and shell the flying, jagged
splinters of wood that are thrown
about when a boat is struck by shot
Experience in the civil war taught the
men that the wounds made by these
splinters were not only as dangerous
as those made by bullets, but far more
painful.
While the boats are being taken care
of, other squads of men are removing
the stanchiOns, the running rails, the
sides of the bridge and everything that
can be put below the armored deck.
Down in the boiler rooms the fires are
already being spread, forced draughts
applied in order to have the greatest
amount of possible power on hand
should it be required.
In the meantime the decks have been
sprnkled with sand to prevent the
men from slipping as they run back
and forth and at the call ito general

of officers, the rumble of trucks loaded
with projeCtiles over the deck, the
smoke and dust and noise. aye, and the
cry of comrades as they fall, torn and
bleeding. Such is war.
After the first shot the intensity OF
suspense is broken, the sight of the
mangled forms on deck is blotted out
by smoke that stings the eyes until
they pain like balls of fire, and the men
fall into their work like veterans. They
forget everything except the fight, and
it is not until the engagement Is over
that they notice their bleeding wounds
and realize the terrible amount of en-
ergy and force that has been expended.
While there have been but few bat
ties since the introduction of the iron
clad, enough Is known that the strain
on the men is something awful The
Ceaseless din of heavy shot on the
heavier plates, the tremendous concus-
sions from the heavy guns cause hem
orrhage, destroy the nerves and actual
~ blister the flesh.
Men who have been in turrets and
taken no part in the conflict have come
out of the steel towers with their
clothes in shreds and so unnerved that
weeks of rest was necessary for re-
cuperatiOn.
The possibilities Of naval warfare I'M
der these conditions are matter OF
conjecture. Engagements will, of me-
cessity, be short. Squadrons may be
destroyed in a day, whole cities LAID
low by the tremendous force.
