Send More MissiOnaries,


Some German missionaries went to China
and got killed by a mob, whereupon Ger
many, by way of indemnity, seized a Chi

ting still more Chinese territory and says

missionaries! Talk about ld-bloodedness

MAY BE SPANISH REVENGE.
Refusal to Exchange HObscn Causes
Much Anxiety.

Much Anxiety.
The refusal of the Spanish authorities
to exchange Lieut.. Hobson and his men
was received at the Navy Department
with almost incredulous surprise. This
has been succeeded by genuine anxiety.
AS the progress of the war develops the
Spanish character. the possibilities of
warfare with such nation are becom-
Ing better understood. 1t is pointed out
that the refusal TO give up Hobson in fair
exchange can scarcely be dictated by
anything but a desire to be avenged. II
may appear to the Spanish mind that
Hobson is so valuable a man that Spain
can well afford the odium attaching TO
such an act by refusing his release
through exchange; while the Spanish in
stinct would be doubly gratified by de-
priving this country of Hobson's services.
and booming the latter to a loathsome
confinement in revenge for his act.
But there may be other reasons for
Spain's refusal of our proposition to ex
change. 1t is whispered about the corri-
dors of the department, especially among
naval men who have personal knowledge
of Spanish methods, that Lieut.. Hobson
may have met with an accident" In
possible. And it would be easy to ex-
plain. after the victorious American
troops capture Santiago, that he was slain
by the fire of his own friends while the
attack was in progress.
For these reasons. naval officials and
friends of Hobson are very anxious to
learn his fate. Spanish chivalry, as ex-
emplified for confidence in the fair treat

Vessels in Warfare.

One of the things which naval experts
hope will be thoroughly settled by the
Spanish-American war is the degree OF
accuracy obtainable In modern naval
gunnery in actual warfare. Is is said
that, although the art of the gunmaker
has been for years pitted against that OF
the armor manufacturer, the greatest diff
iculty experienced at sea is not the pierre
ing Of the enemy's armor plate, but this
hitting of the ship at all
The main trouble. naval officers say, Is
that in aiming the big guns only a min
ute picture of the ship aimed at can be
seen Prof. Alger. of the United States
Naval War College, at Newport. recently
declared that at a convenient fighting dis
tance a ship of the size of the Indiana ap-
pears to be about an inch long This. he
added. was the case when the ship was
looked at under ordinary conditions. In
actual war. however. this picture would
be considerably Iessened by the fact that
the man who aimed the gun would have
to pay quite as much attention TO the
alignment of his sight as he would to the
position of his target. and that he would
have TO do all these things at the same
time.
Naval authorities say that the recent
occurrences at the bombardment of Ma
tanzas bear out these statements It is
nouced that. although the battleships had
no difficulty whatever in hitting the forts.
not one of the numerous shots fired from
the shore hit boat. Very much the same
condition was encountered at the bonn
bardment of Alexandria by the British
fleet in the early sos In that case the
vessels were at anchor in smooth water
and their targets We're good big ones. Al
though the range was short. the damage
done by the forts was insignificant
Another thing which it is hoped will be
cleared up thoroughly is the exact utility
of the fast unarmOred cruiser in battle.
Theoretically it is intended TO arm these
boats with multitude of machine guns
carrying small caliber bullets. The fire
from these is 10 be directed on every port
hole, coming tower slot or aperture in
the gun shields that can be made out
from the decks of the boat II is believed
that the fire from one of these boats will
be so searching and whitening that all
the officers in the coming tower will be
killed and that the crews of the guns will
be so decimated that the ship attacked
by one of these modern spitfires viii be
put out of action in five minutes.
There are opponents to this theory
however. and they say that fast as an un-
armored cruiser may be able TO go, a
modern shell can travel faster. They
cast doubt upon the ability of the unar-
mored cruiser TO turn loose the hailstorm
of lead with which she is credited. and
declare that one shot from big gun on
modern battleship will put the unar-
mored cruiser both out of action and out
of existence.
