The investment of Santiago was all but
complete yesterday. The emplacement
of the guns will have ended prepara-
tions by this time, and at any hour the
ball may open. Admiral Sampson has
done a good deal of scouting in and
around the mouth of the harbor and
knows more about Spanish mines than
he did ten days ago. When the signal
gun is fired from General Wheeler's
front no one need be surprised if there
is naval dash past the sunken Merri-
mac, and the battle of Manila harbor
repeated in that of Santiago de Cuba
General Wheeler's advance division is
between Sevilla and the Spanish en-
trenchments. not more than four miles
from the city. which is in full sight of
his line. In front of him stretches the
trocha, with blockhouses at frequent
intervals. Nearby is an eminence
which, when taken, will command the
defenses in this part of the field, and
from which undiluted death will be
poured upon the Spaniards.
We may look for stirling news to-
night or tomorrow.

We shall not have to walt long before
learning what all this gathering Of the
clans may mean. Admiral Dewey is
made of stout. old Berserker stuff, and
he will not only know what he ought to
do under any given circumstances, no
matter how grave but he has the cour-
age to do it at the drop of the hat
The situation presents certain posi-
bilities which We think render it high
ly important. that Congress should take
quietly into consideration without pub
lie debate. If there is to be an early
Adjournment, which, possibly, now may
be considered inadvisable, the Military,
Naval, and Foreign Affairs Committees
should meet, consult with each other
and, with the executive branch of the
Government, and carefully review all
the war -1egis1ation of the session. This
should be done in order to make sure
that, during the absence of Congress
from the, Capital, everything requisite
has been done to place the Government
in a position to meet all possible emer-
gencieS.

New York, June 2S.-The Herald prints

wonderful success. Joining in the hue and

He had an interview with Capt. Au-

contributed two hundred pesetas to the

the fleet was leaving. He saw the fleet
off. and sailed for Tapgier on June II and
cabled TO Washington.
He is now here. He told the Daily News
correspondent he believed the fleet had
already sneakedl past Gibraltar TO the

fleet is now really at, Port Said. He be-
iieves this is ruse to draw the Ameri-

1t is reported that the members of a
church in Baltimore have decided to put
in electric fans. This innovation will
doubtless frighten some people. There is
a curious and irrational feeling in some
places that it is wrong to be over-com-
Portable in church. This sentiment used
to express itself in meeting houses with
out any fire, although. as a concession to
human weaknesses, the sisters were al
lowed 10 bring foot-stoves. 1t also ex-
pressed itself in the tithing-man, who. on
sultry and drowsy August days. went
around with a stick to rap on the head
of any hearers who seemed inclined to
sleep. But of late years people have be-
gun to see that there is really no disre-
spect intended by those who like to be
comfortable in the Lords house and
that furnace is just as legitimate in
church as a fur jacket. And there is no
more real reason for objecting to an elec-
trio fan than to the old-fashioned paim-leaf
fan. or the gayly-pictured japanese ar
ticle which is such blessing to the eyes
of restless children during the sermon.
In northern latitudes, a stove in Winter
is rengious necessity In this region
the electric fan in Summer is almost as
much needed. 1t helps the worshipers
TO keep awake, and since no man or
woman. not genius, can do two things
at time with any success. 1t facilitates
worship. Nobody can simultaneously con-
centrate his thoughts on a sermon and
attend to the task of keeping his eyes
open during hot August morning. The
system which makes of church-going a
penance and a discipline is more suited
to the land of the fakir and the dervish
than to a civilized and rational country.
Let the. electric fan supersede the old
fashioned palm-leaf. just as the furnace
has superseded the foot-stove and the
hot brick. Progress is sometimes, though
not always, a means of grace.

The plan to send a strong squadron to
harry the Spanish coast does not make
the impression abroad that the Admins
tration is said to have expected. London
regards the announcement as insincere,
on account of the care which was taken
by the Navy Department to advertise it
all over the world. If the movement be
serious, European opinion is that our
vessels could do little damage to fortified
places, while the bombardment of de-
fenseless towns would not be regarded
with much toleration. Generally the for
eign press adInonishes us that for any
result, inside of the ethics of war and
humanity. the game would not be worth

Affairs mt Manila,

When the dispatch boat bearing our
latest news from Manila left that har-
Dor on June % the first detachment of
the Philippine expedition had not ar
rived, but was expected the same day.
We noted yesterday that the Bureau of
Navigation calculated the arrival of the
transports with Anderson's command on
the 25th.
Since previous adviceS it seems that
the situation at Manila has undergone
a radical change. Ten days or two
weeks ago it was the intention of the
Spanish General Augustin to surrender
to Admiral Dewey as soon as the latter
should have landing force at his dis
posal sufficient to guarantee order in
the city. But the presence of seven Ger
man war vessels in the harbor, the
fact that their officers have been con-
stantly ashore fraternizing with the
Spaniards, and that each on entering
the port has saluted the Spanish flag,
have created change of feeling on
the subject of capitulation. and it is
now thought to be Augustin's intention
to resist to the last, in the belief that
bombardment is to be prevented by
Germany.
The Kaiser's admiral continues to as
sert that his squadron, which is about
equal to ours in fighting power, is there
only to protect German interests If by
that he means German subjects and
their property in Manila one cruiser
would be as effective as seven, for there
are only forty Germans on the island
Still, the large force concentrated for
SO small purpose might be overlooked
were II not for the ominous significance
of German salutes to the enemy's flag in
a harbor known to the world as in our
control and possession.
Without any intention to grow excited
over the incidents referred to, We many
mention. as a matter that will not be
disputed by any naval or diplomatic au-
thority, that the discourtesy of such
action amounts to a national affront
and should be promptly disclaimed by
the government at Berlin, unless it has
been deliberately taken under orders
with the design of giving the United
States notice Of hostility. AS would
naturally happen under the circum-
stances, strong British squadron is
forming In Manila Bay. Very proper

Remembering the Maine.

Ever since the war broke out we have
felt sorry that Captain Sigsbee, whom
the country considers a naval COM
mander of the kind described as '.all
wool and a yard wide" has not been
given a battleship with which to
balance a little account he has out
standing with the Spaniards. However,
he appears to be making the most of
such mercies as have fallen to his hum
BILE share, and has lost nothing of the
honor in which he has been held by his
fellow-countrymen-
His latest exploit has not hurt
him to speak of. Attacked
outside the harbor of San Juan de
Porto Rico by an unarmored Spanish
cruiser and the famous torpedo boa,
Terror, he hit the latter three times
killing an officer and two men, and sent
her limping off back under cover in a
sinking condition.

A WRECK IN MIDocEAN.
A Derelict Sighted by the Liner La
BOurgORne.

bOurSORne.
New York, June 2s-Shipping men in
this city were puzzling today to identify
the derelict sighted bottom upward by
the French liner La Bourgogne. That a
great vessel has been lost. perhaps with
all on board. is all that is known.
Barks and ships bound to this side one
of which may be the lost vessel are as
follows: Bertha. from Antwerp; Fidelo
from Bremen: Theodore Fischer. Otto and
Alcedo. from Hamburg; Ellisiand. Iver-
nell and Dominion from Havre: An
dora. Shenandoah. Marie and Clwyd
from Liverpool. and the Pegasus. from
London.
Soon after the wreck was passed, last
Tuesday, La Bourgogne sighted huge
iceberg. The liners officers put the two
together and conjectured that the wreck
was due to a collision with the iceberg.
The bottom of the derelict was painted
white and was very clean, proving that il
had been out of dry dock only a short
time.
There was no floating wreckage near
from which a clew TO the sea mystery
could be derived
La Bourgogne's officers satisfied them
selves that no living person or thing was
about the wreck. and passed on her
course.
1t is unusual for sailing vessels to take
the course followed by the ocean liners,
but this vessel may have been carried out
of her route.
If the vessel struck the iceberg 1t is
possible that the crew had time to lower
boats and get away. No boats were near
the hull. but this may also mean that
they were not launched al all.
Transatlantic liners will be warned TO
avoid the dangerous obstruction in their
path.

The Spanish dynasty shares with the
Sagasta ministry the most extreme un-
popularity in Spain. Correspondents of
leading European papers predict that a
general debacle cannot be delayed
many days. In Catalonia there will soon
be $500 workmen out of employment,
and famine everywhere stares the poor
of the kingdom in the face. The gov
ernment meets the situation with martial
law. and Is massing troops at every CEN
ter of disaffection. The sentiment of the
country is illustrated in a remark made
by "a nobleman" to the representative
of London paper. He said: "If Spain's
colonies are not worth fighting for,
Spain's dynasty is still less SO. If our
soldiers were not sent. to fight the Yam
KEGS. we shall take care that they are
not called upon to shoot down Spaniards
for the sake Of an Austrian"

An interesting Coincidence.

CFrom the Detroit Free Prees.)
In 1884, just after Connmodose -Sotley -ssturned
from rescuing the survivors OF the Greely Arctic
expedition, the Massachusetts, Humane Society
presented him with a handsome medal for his
achievement, and Benjamin ". Crowninield, one
Of the Bay States great orators, was sent to
Washington to make the presentation speech. On
the way to the capital Mr.. Crowninfield fell in
with an old and prominent resident Of Boston,
who took the privilege Of asking the orator what
his mission to Washington was. IN reply the old
gentleman was shown the medal and was told
what was to be done with it. Strange coinci-
dcnce," unused the venerable gentleman from the
Hub. ''Forty.four years ago, in 1870, ! rode over
this same line. and met Gen. Winfield Scott
where he was going He said that son Of his
friend. Mr.. Schley, had been named for him, and
that he was going to Maryland to see the baby.

Doc. for Hospital Work.
Rrom the Chicago Chronicle }

The adoption Of the dog in the German army
as an aid to the sanitary service has led DIR.
Gustavus Blech to experiment in that direction
with squad from the hospital corps Of the Blue
and Gray regiment, under his command. The
doctor owns a very intelligent water spaniel and
utilized this animal. Surgeon Blech is satisfied
that dogs, preferably docile St Bernard dogs,
can be utilized not only for the purpose of To-
eating wounded men on large battlefield or in
thick woods, but that they can convey a can
teen containing water, brandy. wine or similar
drinks. 1t not infreQuently happens that men are
shot through their legs, making locomotion i'm
possible but retain the use Of their hands. In
such cases such an animal would be blessing,
for II would nrst bring the unfortunate refresh
ment and then summon help. DR.. Bloch has ask
ed Chicagoans owning st. Bernard dogs to loar
them to the CORPS, which has headquarters at 81
Radolph Street, fof experimental purposes. and
