MARCHING UP MARKET STREET


The Utah volunteers were given great
demonstrations all along the route to
San Francisco; there they were given
an ovation. No finer men have marched
up Market street than those from this
state, and none will. 1t is a pity they
did not have their horses with them
that they might have taken their can
non with them through the city, as
there is nothing looks so soldierly and
warlike as fully manned batteries NOV
ing along: nothing SO well symbolizes
war as artillery.
But what a pleasure it is to know
how enthusiastically the volunteers
were received. 1t is the reception given
to those from all the states, and they
are all equally deserving of it.
In few days the people of San
Francisco will have the pleasure of
witnessing the Utah troop of cavalry
march up Market street. They will pre-
sent as soldierly an appearance as did
the artillerymen. Not only are they
good cavalrymen. but they are good
horsemen on good horses. They will
receive the same ovation as did the
batteries.

THE NEWSPAPERS AND THE
WAR.

Just at the present time the news
| papers are coming in for more or less
censure for giving away various plans
of campaign, or details relating to
campaigning plans 1t is charged that
much of the Information furnished the
Madrid government by Spanish spies
is obtained from the newspapers. 1t
is now charged that the failure of the
Gussie expedition under Captain Dorst
was due to the publication by the pa
pers of all the details belong to it:
the object of it. the supplies carried.
the time of departure and the place of
debarkation all being announced from
day to day by the papers, thus ap-
prising the SDaniards
Such criticisms of the newspapers
are puerile in the extreme. There is
not newspaper in the country that
would willingly give the least infor-
nation to the Spaniards. If an expe-
dition is being fitted out so openly and
its destination is so notorious that the
newspapers make it a daily "detail'
for reporter, whose fault is it? 1t is
not the fault of the newspapers, but
Of those in charge of the expedition;
and il all the facts about it get into
the papers, it is simply because there
has been no effort to prevent their
publication. If the correspondents at
various ports tell too much, the rea-
son is that they are told too much:
there is no escaping this conclusion.
1t is the business of the newspapers
to furnish news. and the people ex-
pect them to. At this time the people
want all the news they can get of the
war, and the papers are going to try
and furnish it to them, but with no
intention to embarrass the govern
ment The military and naval author
tiles have absolute control of the
sources of information of contemplated
movements, and they can shut them
off whenever they choose. They can
exclude correspondents from the army
and from the fleets if they so choose,
and can do it arbitrarily as well as for
cause. The newspapers have enough
sins of their own TO answer for, but
they should not be charged with the
shortcomings of others. The man who
viii attempt to shift his plumbers onto
some one else is not fit to properly
discharge the burdens placed upon
him.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-05-23

tureG or annihilated il would prac-
tically end the war and make certain
the loss of Cuba and Porto Rico in
the western hemisphere and the Philip
pines in the eastern.
If these conjectures be well founded
there is not the remotest danger of amy
American city being attacked, for hav-
ing bombarded American cities Slain
could not go into an international court
of equity with clean hands. If she
wishes intervention for the re-estab-
lishment of peace and not an alliance
for the prosecution of the war, not hav-
ing laid waste any seacoast cities, her
appeal would have greater force with
the powers to whom it might be made.
The above hypothesis explains letter
than any other the peculiar strategy
employed by the Spanish fleet, STRAIT
egg that has thus far baffied ccmpre-
hension. This would seem to leave out
of account the fact that the invasion of
Cuba is intended, and that to prevent
it will necessitate the continuance or
the Spanish fleet in Cuban waters, but
it does not. If the invasion IS not to
be attempted until the Spanish feet is
disposed of, to keep up the mystery of
its whereabouts would still be part of
the strategic plan of Spain, end with
the fleet at the Canaries, where there
are ample supplies, the plan would be
as effective in this respect as 10 have
it in some Cuban or Porto Rican pert,
or anywhere else. There is every indi-
cation that Spain is not DESTROYS of
bringing on a decisive naval battle,
notwithstanding all the new ministry $
talk about pushing the war vigorously.

SPANS NAVAL PLANS.

The Spanish fleet under Admiral Ger
vera continues to elude Admiral Samp-
sons feet. Its primary purpose is no
doubt to land supplies of various kinds
at different ports IN Cuba. This done,
it is far from improbable that it will
Immediately return to the Canaries or
Cadiz, if it can avoid a meeting with
the American feet.
And what would be the object of such
a policy? To prolong the war in the
hope that Europe will intervene. Spain
does not want any decisive naval bat
tie, for the reason that If she We're VIC
torious il would mean the rebuilding
new fleet, while if her fleet We're cap

by the people and is otherwise discred-

The seaworthiness of American bat

time not one has been tried in storm.

who have attained their positions
through nepotism and protection and
not through practical service. The
crews of the vessels are hirelings from
all lands, who enlist solely through the
desire to earn a little money. Only a
few of them are sailors and care for the
sea. In winter, when there is no work
on shore, they crowd to the ships and
remain aboard until spring. In the
summer they run away and then there
is great lack lcf men on the vessels.
There are always great many armed
policemen on deck to keep order, which
the officers often are unable to do, es-
pecially when half the crew, as often
happens, is blind drunk"
