From the New York Herald

In commenting upon the awful fate OF
the Maine the London st. James Gazette
finds occasion to remark: LAS bearing on
this, however, 1t must be borne in mind
that the discipline on American war ships
is usually, to English ideas, rather lax"
English ideas. IL they really are so in.
clined, are entirely wrong. 1t is matter
of fact and record. to which English naval
authorities have testified more than once
hat the discipline maintained on American
men-of-war is the standard Of the world
and is not usually attained on board any
ship in her majesty's service.
