Little Victories.

Almost every day a new triumph of
American valOr is reported. but the
public, having been treated to such
record-break;ng sensations as the
achievements of Dewey and Schley.
the smaller feats do not attract the
attention they would in an or
binary war. Ever since the fall
of Santiago, detachments OF the
army have been adding to our Cuban
possessions, not always without fight
ing. Gradually We are reducing the
Spanish holdings. Where the army
cannot operate. the navy takes a hand
and captures an important harbor. 1t
is probable this means more to the
Spaniards than at first appears. 1t has
been discovered that the blockade has
not been complete, the enemy receiving
supplies at unexpected points, where
his small forts and gunboats protect
blockade runners that enter the har-
bors.
Besides the two considerable achieve
ments of The army early in the week,
an expedition of the Annapolis and the
Wasp, now with General Miles, result
ed in the capture of Nipe and the de-
struction of the Spanish cruiser Jorge
Juan. This activity will continue until
not a harbor is left to the Spaniards
but that Of Havana, which can be ef-
fectually sealed up.

NEW NIssIIEs OF WARFARE.


Claims of an Inventor ConeerninE
His Dynamite She'll Project.
The War Department is considering q
proposition laid before it by an American
residen: of the City OF Mexico. He claims
that he has a process by which he can
prepare dynamite shells so that they may
be safely discharged from any piece Of
artillery by force Of gunpowder, the
shells bursting by impact e
The ordnance omeials were skeptical at
first. but the inventor presented letter
from Gen. Powell Clayton. minister to
Mexico, in which Gen. Clayton says he
has seen two successful tests Of the in
vention. Fifteen pounds of black powder
were used in a smooth-bore gun of S-inch
caiiber Weighing three and one-quarter
tons. The shells were fired against a
blufY 500 feet away and burst by impact.
dislodging a large quantity Of material
President Diax was present at these
tests and was highly pleased with them.
II the invention proves practicable Its
importance cannot be overestimated. 1t
would make Of every cannon in the serv-
ice a dynamite gun. In the city of Mex
leo the inventor was compelled to use
old-fashioned cast-iron shells. With
steel projectiles he, says he can safely
use a much larger quantity Of dynamite.
In 13-inch sheels of the present length
and construction he says he can fire 300
pounds Of No. / dynamite, which means
IS per cent nitro-glycerine. This would
be equal to 900 pounds Of gunco;ton. or
100 to I, 100 pounds Of powder.
Commander O'Neil. chief OF the Ord
nance Bureau. went over the mathemat-
ical demonstration carefully, and said
it was correct.
With the dynamite guns now in the
service they employ compressed air.

Naval Instruction at College.
From the Chicago Ncws.)


Bay City College, in Michigan, has taken the
initiative in q new movement, having for its
purpose the popularizing Of a naval training for
the pupils in that institution, that is at least
timely and certainly important. It is well known
that very many Of the larger educational estab-
lishments Of the country give the boys that are
completing their collegiate courses the benefit OF
a military drill and training. and that the Gov
ernment, to encourage this spirit furnishes these
colleges with army officers educated at the mill
tary academy at West Point to act professors
Of military science. Prof. Lampson, Of the Bay
City school, proposes to have department which
shall furnish young men the same instruction in
naval matters that many schools give in military
the way Of such departure from ordinary przc-
tices, for certainly the great lakes supply all
that Is to be desired, 20 far as water is con-
cerned, and all that could be learned on the At
Lake Superior The Michigan institution pro-
poses to carry on its naval department exactly as
other colleges do their military branches, adding
to the regular course Of study thorough train
ing in navigation, gun pflctice, naval cvolutions,
and, in fact, all that cadet would acquire in q
three years cruise on vessel IN the United States
navy Such an addition to the curriculum would
Dccessitate the employment Of 4 thoroughly
equipped warship and corps Of professors in all
respects up to the standard Of eficient ofce,s Of
our navy. which would make the undertaking 4
rather ccstly one Sor IN ordinary American col
lege. But It il possible that, since the United
States navy is to te aspew and largely increased
power OF the GovefnMeot, Congress might be in

colIeres for the pufpost Of encouraging the s,udy

MAPPING OUT cAnpA1oN WORK
Harmony looming Up Among Dense-

Harmony looming Up Among Dens0-
cratic Faetf0ns in New York.
New York. July 8.-Ex-Senator Hill
came down from Albany yesterday af-
ternoon. The arrival of the ex-senator
was expected. and a number of his friends
and political lieutenants were on hand
to see him. Among others were Ellioc
Danforth. chairman of the Democratic
State committee: James W. Hinkley. for
merly State chairman; Ex-Lieutenant
Governor William F. Sheehan. Ex-As-
semblyman John B. Stanchfeld, Coli
John F. Gaynor and others. The talks
were all informal, but it is evident that
the next few weeks will be busy ones
within the Democratic camp. and already
the preliminaries for the campaign are
well under way.
II becomes apparent as matters advance
that each faction within the Democratic
party has shrewdly tested its own
strength. and is today keenIy alive to
the situation. There also seems to be
reason to believe that the bitter fac
tional fight within the party, which
threatened to be precipitated by the at
tack Richard Croker made upon Mr.. Hill
may be ayerted. and an harmonious par.s
ty campaign may be waged.
While there is no serious talk about
candidates, yet the reported decision to
nominate a candidate for governor who
stood with the party in 1896. puts ou.

Midsunmer Folly.

why" asks the Boston Herald,
SHOULD not the United States propose
terms Of peace to Spain? 1t would
be noble proceeding ON her part. She
would be understood to ask 1t in the in
terest of the Spanish people more than
of her own" The Richmond Times,
too. asks the same question. saying, 1T
is true that according to the usages Of
war the peace oyertures should come
from Spain. but we do not see why the
United States may not take the initi-
ative in this instance"
The answer is to be found In the pc
culiar character of the Spanish people
and in the situation in Spain. II ex-
perience teaches anything. 1t is certain
that a proposal Of peace from the Unit
ed States would be construed and pro-
claimed as an evidence OF all the things
the New York Herald has said about
the weariness OF Americans with the
war and their eagerness for peace on
any terms. 1t would postpone rather
than hasten a settlement.
In the case of any other people We
might well afford to take the initiative,
but it would meyer do to deal with Spain
iE a spirit OF magnanimity before she is
forced to seek terms. 1t Is not to be
supposed that President Mckinley, with
his strong desire to end hostilities. has
not considered the question carefully
and thoroughly. His present course
indicates that he has made up his mind
that Spain can be made to talk peace
with sincerity only after she has suf-
fered something more than the loss of
a part Of Cuba. 1t Is from his un ler-
standing Of Spanish character, after
a succession of disappointments, that
have sprung the plans for larger ag-
gressive movement than has yet been
made.
Another thing is that II Is by no
means certain Spain wants peace at
this time. 70. In spite Of the reputed. and
perhaps real, decision Of the Sagasta
cabinet to-. ask for terms. such is the
deviousness of Spanish ways that the
country's purpose may be anything but
what it appears to be. Experieno ed
European observers assert that Spain
is now in a better position to prolong
the war than before the surrender Of
Santiago. Having no sure communica-
ton with her army in Cuba and her
forces in the Philippines, she is reliev-
ed OF the necessity of paying them. Her
colonies she gave up for lost when she
went into the war. She has little or
nothing more to lose, while the accept
ance of peace propositions would de-
stroy the present dynasty and perhaps
secure the triumph Of the Carlists. Sure
ly the demands Spain would concede
now are nothing like what she would
grant when the hope Of infiicting any
injury on her enemy vanishes and when
she Is no longer able to resist. 1t would
be the height of folly, on all accounts.
for the United States to talk peace
officially while her enemy avows pur-
pose to continue the war. 1t is not
a spirit ot magnanimity, but Of fool
ishness, that suggests such a thing.
