The war baptism of CALIFORNIA; s
pride, the battleShip Oregon, proved
that Captain Clark's forecast as to her
ability was fully justified. In the cap
ture of Cervera's fleet at Santiago the
Oregon played by far the most import
ant part AT one time she engaged no
less than three of the enemy's largest
and most powerful vessels at the same
moment and worsted all of them. Be
sides, she proved that she has fine apll-
ity in maneuvering, and is handled at
high speed in battle as easily as
yacht. No wonder that the men and
officers of Schley's flagship cheered the
Oregon to the echo in the midst of the
battle. The California builders Of this
splendid fighting machine have every
reason to comb their feathers, crow and
be as proud as the law allows, and no
one will think them vain for doing so.
Their work has been proved in the fre
of battle, on the longest voyage ever
taken by a battleship, in the squalls
and storms of the Caribbean Sea; in
all ways and manners her machinery
has been tested and her seaworthiness
been proved, and now her fighting quail
ity has been put to severe trial, also.
Hail, the Oregon!

War Is never to be provoked, If with
honor and justice it can be avoided It
does not follow, therefore, that he who
opposes war is cowardly or the enemy
of his country. But when honor and
right exhaust all other means for the
righting Of wrongs, war is desirable and
to be prosecuted with energy. The
United States did not desire this war
1t was compelled by justice. humanity
and the scheme Of human liberty to en-
gage in it. Being launched upon its
sea, the thing to do is to make 1t so
vigorous, bitter and relentless, that the
ends for which it was inaugurated may
be the sooner accomplished. 1t is
thus made more merciful and is sooner
brought to an end

stands ready now, at any moment, TO
send in supplies to save the starving
and succor the sick. Such procedure
is not stayed because of the necessity
of seizing Porto Rico.
Spain must be made to foot the bill Of
cost for this war, and it will take the
major portion of her colonial posses

Du Bose and Carranza have been lit

mer protests that he is not a spy and
even goes so far as to deny that his
friend the Lieutenant is one of that ilk.
But no one will for a moment believe
these fellows. They are high-type rep
resentatives of Spanish honor, other
wise bombast. Their conduct in Can
ada has been that of sneaks of the
meanest order. There is, in fact, no
language too strong with which to
characterize these men, who have
maintained a spy bureau over the bor-
der. Sir Wilfred Laurier, the Canadian
statesman, is gentleman and a man
far seeing and discreet. He would
never have treated these fellows as he
did were their protestations of the
slightest value, or had they the least
grounding in truth. Out you go,

A SICKLY SENTIMENTAL ORA
MATIC POSE.

MAIIC 9OoE.
The Spanish are nothing if not dra-
matte. Sentimental manifestation is q
ruling passion with them. If it is not
the latest song, the new opera, the
champion ll-fghter, it is something
else. The Spanish must grow enthusi-
astic and sentimental over something
dramatic, or they are not happy.
We have entire and high respect for
all in Spanish character worthy of it,
and there is much, be it noted. Her
literature, her poetry, her chivalry, her
tragic history, inspire US with deep in
terest in Spain, just as her cruelties,
her posing for effect, her robber raids,
her intolerance, ignorance and incapac
ity to do justice, inspire abhorrence of
her.
The latest dramatic posing and SEN
timental lachrymal performance took
place on Monday, when the Captains
of the Cervera ships took leave of their
men on Seavey's Island
One of these Captains went down the
line, kissing the wrinllled and sweating
cheeks of his tars and blubbering over
them as If they We're about to be taken
out to be shot instead Of clothed, fat
tened and given a royal good time of
ease and comfort. Then some of the
jackies fell on the Captains neck, and
there was soon a beo-hooing crowd
clinging to his legs, while he sobbed
and kissed and mussed around the lot,
in disgustingly sentimental program
of dramatic Mysteries. But history
will record no shedding of tears by
Spaniards for the 100000 men, women
and children starved to death in Cuba
by Spanish orders.
The dispatches say that it was a
most affecting scene" and that as
tears flowed and sobs welled upon the
air all hearts of beholders were moved.
Doubtless, moved to disgust at this
unmanly and womanish exhibition of
weakness and thin sentiment. What
was there to blubber about? The loss
to blame for that themselves. If they
had seen fit TO play the manly part
they would never have made that dash
cut of the harbor and have sacrificed
700 lives, as they did when they knew
the cause was hopeless and that sur
render would be not only without dis
honor but be crowned with the acclaim
of all humane people the world around
be approved by history and applauded
by all just men.
There was nothing to weep over, but
the temptation for a dramatic display
could not be resisted, and so there was
a deal of kissing and sobbing and hug
ging and nose-wiping, and then each
party went off to comfortable quarters,
for a BATH clean, neat clothing and
plenty Of good food-at the expense Of
the enemy. Why, the prisoners are
lucky, if only they knew it.
Does any one suppose, If an Amer
lean crew is captured, its Captain or
Commodore is going to boo-hoo upon
the necks of his blue-jackets, kiss their
perspiring cheeks, get red around the
end Of the nose and slippery about the
eyes, because Of the fate of war? Not
a. bit Of it. On the contrary, If it is
Bob Evans or Jack Phillip or the old
fox Schley. or the youngest Of them
all, Clark of the Oregon-any one Of
these will bid his men good-by cheer
lily, with a command for a stiff upper
lip, and no sniveling. And the crew will
respond with three cheers and tiger
and go to berths and duff, whistling

THE AMERICAN FLEET ROUNDING CAVITE POINT

Our squadron slowed down to barely steerage way and the men were allowed to sleep alongside their guns.
 Commodore Dewey had timed our arrival so that we were within five miles of the city of Manila at daybreak. We then sighted the Spanish squadron, Rear Admiral Mon- tejo commanding, off Cavite (pronounced Kaveetay, with accent on "vee"). Here the Spaniards had a well prepared navy-yard, called Cavite ar senal.
 Admiral Montejo's flag was flying on the 35oo-ton pro- teeted cruiser Reina Cris- tina. The protected cruiser Castilla, of 32oo tons, was moored ahead, and astern to the port and to seaward were the cruisers Don Juan de Austria, Don Antonio de Ulloa, Isla de Cuba, Isla de Luzon, Ouiros.

on the Window. The fleet replied and in a

Under cover of cannonading from the

launched boats and their crews cut the two
cables. They then started back tor their

The small American boats were riddled and
the occupants were soon struggling in the

The guns of the Nashville and Marblehead
then bleached forth and every shot went
true, and the earthworks, guns and Spaniards
were seen flying in the air.
The wounded Americans were picked up in
