NOT PARALLEL CASES.

A few days ago a dissatisfied citizen asked the New York Sun why, if it was right that Nelson should carry off the credit for the Copenhagen affair al though second in command, it isn't equally right that Schley should have and hold the glory of the Santiago af- fair, Captain Mahan Of the strategy board, in letter to the same paper, contends that the historical precedent produced by the dissatisfied citizen is a bad case of mis1t.
 At Copenhagen, says the captain, Nelson did the whole business himself. He devised the plan of attack, he forced it upon the acceptance of a re- luctant ommander-in-chief, and he executed it independently, giving all the necessary orders from first to last. His superior was within signalling dis tance, but the only part Admiral Park CT took in the affair was to hoist the signal withdraw from action!"-a signal which Nelson did not see fit to sec
 At Santiago, says the captain, all the necessary dispositions had been made by Sampson over a month before Cervera's desperate sortie. That wig liant, tireless watch at the harbor mouth was "the great decisive feature of the campaign from start to finish. '' When the> >eventful day came, our ships chased and fought in the order established by Sampson. Very well then:
 The fact that the ships chased as they stood shows that it was unneces- sary for Schley to make a signal; and in truth, from first to last, the second in command needed to make no signal of tactical character, and made none so far as is shown by his own report or that of the captain of the ship. That | is, the second in command exercised nc special directive functions of a flag ol general officer while the fighting lasted In this there was no fault, for there was no need for signals; but the, fact utterly does away with any claim tc particular merit as second in com. l the commodore's credit for conduct ir all possible respects gallant and ofi. cerlike. So far as plan is concerned the battle was fought on Simpsons lines; and. to quote Collingwood be. fore Trafalgar, "I wish Nelson would stop signalling, for we all know what we have to do.' The second in com mand and the captains before Santiago all knew what they had to do, ant right nobly they all did it.
 With the wise and stringent method! laid down and enforced by the admira it would not in the least have mattered
 as things happened, with such ship:
 and such captains. had the command ler-in-chief and the second in command
 either or both, been, seventy mile: away.
 Captain Mahan acquits Schley of al responsibility for the conduct of hi: too jealous. friends, but he thinks these
 friends are in very poor business. H.
 has been pained, he tells us, by 'th'
 shameful outcry designed to deprive
 an eminent officer (Sampson) Of tht Just reward of his tolls"

waiting was no hardship, however,

town. They were about everywhere in
squads with sergeants in charge and
had a good time looking into grounds,
resting in the shade and eating fruit
They were given fruit and flowers and
made a good many purchases them
selves. Several hundred of the Boys
had baths at the boat houses. A good
many of the men and nearly all OF the
officers had carriages at their disposal
and went into the suburbs There
were always some citizens to chat to
the boys and tell them OF life in Homo
lulu. Not a few of the boys were quite
willing to do some of the talking them
selves. They have been rather cOOped
up in that direction for a good long
time. They told of little incidents
aboard ship and of hopes for the fut-
ure and even went to mentions of
plans as far in the future as return

SEEKS PEcos VALLEY LINE.
Santa Fe Figuring on New Route to
Old Mexico.

Santa Fe officials in this city say that
the securing of a controlling interest in
the securities of the PecOs Valley rail-
road by the Santa Fe means that the
Pecos Valley road will be operated by
the Santa F'e manag cement.
This will give the Santa Fe proper
over 300 miles of additional track.
1t will mean that the Pecos Valley
road and the Panhandle branch of the
Santa Fe will constitute separate di-
vision. and that Wellington will be the
headquarters of the new division.
1t will also mean that through cars
will be run from Chicago and Kansas
City to Roswell. New Mexico, and pos
sibly Pecos, Texas, the southern term
mus of the line.
If arrangements can be made with
the Texas Pacific road, it maybe that
the Pecos Valley road will be used as
the route for Santa Fe travel into Old
Mexico, as from Newton south over the
southern division and Panhandle
branch, the Pecos Valley extension
and the Texas Pacific from Pecos to Ell
Paso would be a much shorter route
than the present one via La Junta and
Albuquerque.
It is known that President Ripley be-
lieves the Pecos Valley road with it's
extension to a connection with the San
ia Fe at Amarillo. Texas, will be a pay
ing property, and he has probably al
ready taken steps to secure the control
of its operation,

TO BLOW UP A TROOP SHIP.
Report That a Half breed Will Be
Hanged Aboard the Pekin.

Victoria, British Columbia, June 90
The steamer Miowera brought the fol-
lowing from Honolulu, dated June 8:
The Hawaiian Star of June 3,publish-
eS the following story regarding an at
tempt to blow up the United States
steamer City of Pekin while that YES
sci was in port here:
IF the report which is in circulation
today is true, Honolulu came near be-
ing the scene of as frightful a disaster
as that of the Maine and in much the
same way. The story is nothing more
or less than that attempt to blow
up the Pekin magazine was frustrated
just in time An enlisted man, it is
said, was caught just in the act of ar
magazine. The magazine contains 400
tons of powder and had been guarded
closely. The bastard, it is said, is now
under the closest guard and when the
Pel<in gets out on the high seas, will be
hanged at the ward arm.
1.-The greatest secrecy concerning the
matter is being maintained for fear it
would mar the spirit of the present oc-
caSion. The alleged culprit is said to
be half Spaniard. The publication
caused a sensation in this city. Mill
tary officers on the ship denied the
truth of the story, but their denial was
made in a half-hearted way. There are
many corrObOratiVe features which tend
to prove the truth Of the report which
was first circulated by enlisted men.
Others admitted that the Spanish half
breed was on board the Pekin. Two
Honolulu citizens state that they were
on board the Pekin on June 8, when
they saw a man in irons and under
close guard. They are convinced that
the prisoner was the man who attempt
ed to blow up the Ship
