them. Swashbucklers are the ex-
ception in all history among real
fighting men.

The Spanish fleet is at Curacao
and so another yarn of miraculous
Spanish shrewdness aud capacity
for getting ahead OF Uncle Sam is
exploded. One of these days the
American people will appreciate
the Spanish bogey at its opera
bouffe valuation and not be so
greatly disposed to credit Span
ish Admiral with the dash and
cleverness OF a Dewey or, Paul
Iones.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-05-16

There are still, it seems, some
modest Americans who hesitate
to claiir due credit for Admiral
Dewey and his feet for the victory
of Manila. Most of these, it would
appear, are the same persons who
dread the result of meeting be-
tween the Spanish feet now in our
waters and our own big ships or
who by matching up thickness OF
armor and size of guns would have
us believe that the result of the
meeting is in doubt.
The fact is, OF course, as regards
the battle of Manila, that engage
ment was by no means SO one-sided
in opportunities as twas in results,
Dismissing the extraordinary dash
and courage on the part OF the
Americans in venturing to enter
the harbor at all, and the factor
of the forts as supporting the Span
ish fleet, the latter itself was by no
means the despicable object that
SO many Americans seem to infer
by reason of the matchless victory
gained by our men, accepting
thereby the Spanish proclamations
Of a victory won without honor.
No ship on either side was
armored and a well aimed shot
from the Spanish guns would have
pierced and probably sunk any one
of the American ships quite as
promptly as the guns Of the latter
sunk the Spanish ships. The
American fleet, OF course, was su-
perior in both guns and ships, but
many a victory has been won
against greater odds, and notably
by American seamen. The chief
superiority OF the American fleet
over the Spaniards was disclosed
by the result of the fight and by
that only. That superiority was in
seamanship and gunnery.
We Americans ought to feel
sure about this and not treat lightly
the victory at Manila. The Span
ish fleet was by no means a fleet
of old-fashioned or worn out wood
Ell ships. They were pretty good
ships and only one of them of
wood, They could not resist a
big shot we'll aimed, but no more
could the unarmored American
ships. But they had many guns
quite as good as those on the
American fleet and were handy
fighters if they had had the men
to fight them.
In word, if we may judge by
the gunnery at Manila and by the
historical precedents of American
victories at seamanship and marks
manship against superior force, it
is fair TO assume that had the
Spanish had our ships and guns
and had the Americans been in
the forts and OH the Spanish ships
at Manila the result of the action
would have been the same as it
was-the Yankees would have
won it.

Capt. Wildes of the cruiser Bos-
ton is reported to have cooled his
brow with a palm leaf fan and
drank coffee at his post on the
bridge while in the midst OF the
action at Manila. From which IL
would seem clear that everything
thereabouts was hot except the
Yankee skipper and the fan.

The biggest surprise of the war
on ether side was Dewey's entrance
into the harbor of Manila before
breakfast time, but probably the
next biggest was the discovery
made BY the little Spanish gun
boat Callao from the Carolines
that didn't know war was going
on until It steamed into Manila
harbor and was brought to by a
shot from a ship flying the Ameri-
onn Gag.

Thinks Humanity Demands Intervention
in Cubu Now.

Lincoln. Neb., March 1.-IIon. Will
liam j. Bryan tonight made the fol-
lowing statement for the Associated
Press, In answer to the question
whether, in his Judgment, the time had
arrived for the United States to in
tervene In behalf of Cuba, and bring
the war to an end:
Yes, the time for intervention has
arrived. Humanity demands that we
shall act. Cuba lies almost within
sight Of our shores and the suffering
of her people cannot be ignored unless
we, as nation. have become so en-
crossed in money making as to be in
different to distress.
Intervention may be accompanied
by danger and expense. but existence
cannot be separated from responsible
ity. and responsibility sometimes lends
a nation as well as an individual into
danger. A neiEhbor must sometimes
incur danger for q neighbor and
friend for a friend.
war is n terrible thing and cannot
be defended except as means TO an
end, and yet. II is sometimes the only
means by which u necessary end can
be secured. The state Furnishes Its
own citizens by imprisonment or even
death, when counsel and persuasion
fail. War is the only arbiter between
nations when reason and diplomacy
are Of no avail.
Spain might not resist Intervention

nize the right of the United States TO

The Castine and two tropedo boats
