Cerrera, one of the highest officers in the
Spanish navy, and, according to reports,
of true royal blood, has been taken pris-
oner together with several other officers;
of rank and a large number OF seamen.
Spain changes her tune. She concludes
that Hobson had not seen enough inside
the city, after all, to harm her cause by
revealing it to his superiors upon his re-
turn. Is it possible that Spain thinks Ger
vera is worthy of the sacrifice of Hobsons 8
release which, she feared at one time,
would inspire the Americans to great en-
thusiasm? VIII Cervera's return, after his
disastrous sortie, do as much for the Span
ish populace? The pretense about Hob
sons knowledge of the situation in the
city is absurd, anyway. He was doubtless
taken Immediately to a cell, from which
he could see little or nothing of value or
significance. His observations during the
few weeks of his confinement at Santiago
have presumably been of the narrowest
possible range, and, if revealed to the
b1ockaders, would hardly aid them to the
least degree. The American commanders
have learned far more of the situation
within the besieged city by spies and from
balloons than Hobson could observe there
if he were kept prisoner a year. He has
ing the guns and measuring their caliber,
or enUmerating the forces in the barracks
or the trenches, or estimating the food sup
plies, or locating the water mains, or doing
the other numerous things that a clever
spy is expected to do in time of war
'Ience the suspicion that his detention after
.eryera's promise that he would be ex-
changed was inspired by some other reason
than that alleged. Blanco, it now appears,
ordered Cervera to make his dash. He is
said recently TO have expressed his anger
at Cervera because the latter did not make
his way originally to Havana instead of to
Santiago, and he has sneered at his ability.
Blanco's action negativing Cervera's offer
to exchange Hobson may have been merely
a feature of the controversy between the
two men. Whatever the cause of the pre-
vious refusal, this nation rejoices that
Spain is now willing to exchange the hero
of the Merrimac for another prisoner and
that it is likely to have the opportunity to
welcome back the brave young man who
startled the world by his daring exploit

Immediately after the performance of the
Oregon-the making of thirteenth thousand
mile trip without accident or delay-the
builder of that splendid ship started for Eu-
rope. 1t was reported that he had been
summoned to Russia for consultation about
large order to be placed by the naval au-
thorties of th.ss- -c.saTitry. This was denied,
but it was admitted that the ships record
had made such a stir in Europe that her
builder was persuaded that orders were TO
be had there and be had gone over to get
them.
Immediately after the destruction of Ad-
miral Cerveras ships the Berlin corre-
spondent of the London Daily Mail sends
his paper the following:
The battle of Santiago is considered to
have proved the superiority of American
armor plating and artillery, and ii is be-
Heved that in the future European nations
will give larger orders to American makers
for armor, guns and the like
Here, now, is food for reflection. The
great nations of the earth, although heav-
lily armed at sea, are adding to their equip
ment- Great Britain, Russia, Germany and
France are not yet strong enough. The
race for commercial supremacy is growing
hotter all the time and more exacting of
those who expect to remain in it. The four
powers named are all rich. They demand,
and are able to provide themselves with,
the very best. The United States is loom
ing up as the great work k-shop. We are al
ready building ships for Japan. Keels for
other countries are likely shortly to be laid.
And guns and armor-plate will fill out the
invoices for the foreigners.
The United States, then, is to engage in
helping to make all of her commercial
rivals stronger on thu sea in fighting ma
chimes, and fit them out for the most ag-
gressive assertion of themselves, but if it
undertakes to strengthen itself meanwhile
by increasing the size of its own navy, and
by arnexing islands in the Pacific declared
by the highest authorities to be absolutely
essential to the proper defense of the Pa
cifc coast, that will BE- a lead toward i'm
perialsm," and a step fraught with the
grayest peril to the Republic
There are a few people in this country
who would be glad to see Uncle Sam alone

Portable as outfit for the journey that is

The Navy Department is planning to send
a naval constructor to the shores of Cuba
west of Santiago to inspect the wrecks of
the Spanish cruisers to ascertain if they
can be saved and added to the United
States navy. If General Shafter succeeds
in promptly occupying Santiago he may
find just the man for this work in one Of
the military prisons. Hobson would doubt
less like nothing better than to show his
skill in the line of saving as well as in that
of making wrecks.

ADDITION TO THE GRAND LIST
Increased by About $75O, ,OOo-Will Bring
 S17000 Additional

| U The grand list has been increased by the board of assessors by about $750,00O, the increase being confined almost en- tirely to the business interests of New Haven. The assessors are now working on the general assessment of real and personal property and will probably not complete their labors in this direc- ton until 1901
 Merchants and manufacturers have been summoned before the board of as- sessors and asked to explain why their stock should not be assessed higher than in the past. Among the increased assessments are the addition of $200 000 to the assessment of the New Haven Water company and $20O,000 to the Can dee Rubber company, $14,000 to Dillon & Douglass, $20,O0O to the l.. c. Bates company, $9,000 to Frederick D. Grave, the cigar manufacturer; s6,OO0 to Lewis | Osterweis, the cigar manufacturer, and $7,500 to the Barnes Tool company. If these increases are not changed by the
 board of relief they will bring into the city about $17,00O
 F. Moses, who has just completed a
 large block on Chapel street near State,
 has appeared before the board of relief
 and protested against the assessment of 1 s51,0 900 on that property. His conten- tion is that this is too high an assess
 ment in proportion to the assessments
 on other large centrally located proper
 | critics.
