The difficulty OF cutting OF the Spanish from
their home Government has demonstrated the
necessity for the Government ownership Of a
cable vessel, and General Greedy, Chief Signal

United States would own such a ship. whether
the country was at peace or at war One could
be easily purchased for $500 1000. he said. and
II the Signal Service had had such ship at
its command at the beginning OF the war. Cuba

MADRID REPORT OF THE FIGHT.

Madrid. June THE following Official dis

Colonel Aldea commanding a Spanish COL

of rebels who were supporting the landing OF
an American force near Santiago de Cuba. Two
American warshps protected the landing party.
The result Of the operations is not known.

bardment OF Santiago de Cuba. lasting from
to II o'clock on Monday morning. was intended
to distract the attention Of the Spaniardr and
enable the landing TO be effected without mo-
lestaton."

shells, which. ne asserts. fell among the In
surgents.

BRITISH ADMIRAL on HOBSON'S DEED.
London, June Admiral Sir John Colomb
writes as follows TO a morning newspaper with
reference to the situation at Santiago de Cuba;
Il am inclined to think that for the purpose
OF blocking the egress Of a hostile war squad
ron this operation OF sinking the Merrimac Is
a unioue idea though blocking UP an enemy's
hsrbor by sinking ships at the entrance Is not
new. What may be noted. however. win al
vantage is that the peculiar policy OF Ad-
miral Sampson Is the policy or greater Al
mirals especially Of Lord Nelson. which was
TO tempt blockadcd feet TO put to sea In order
that 1t might be fallen upon and destroyed:
for when this has been done blockading heet
is relieved to carry out other duties
Sampson wants every ship that can be
spared and IL the Spanish ships are really
blocked in much OF his blockadlng force may
be detached. Still. our policy In a Ike case
WOuld not block the channeI, ana Wouiu ouiy
have left a squadron off Santiago large enough
10 make a fair fight should Cervera determine
TO try his fortunes. Nevertheless. Admiral
Sampson's action confirms what naval men
who are also students Of naval history have
ALWAYS insisted upon tina, the entry or war
ships into the ports Of an enemy was no more
likely TO be the practice OF steamers than or
sailing ships.
"Al through this war however. what was
expected BY the advanced school OF naval think
ers. and a thing upon which. indeed. much
of our own policy has been founded, has
beer conspicuous by absence. Admiral Samp-
son has never used his torpedo-boats as 1t was
expectcd they would be used He has never
sent one Of them into Cuban port by night
70 destroy ships such as might be found at
Santiago.
at Is plain that II a 3.OO0-ton ship could run
into the narrowest part Of a channel at night
little torpedo boats might have swarmed right
through and into the inner harbor. What
has caused the expectation OF these advanced
naval thinkers 10 be disappointed cannot yet be
known but unless things alter before the war
is over we shall be found remembering our
policy In this regard.

It Is probably an unusual thing iu any country for court to sit in iudg. ment oil the dead, but ill Berlin letter to the Chicago Record an account ii giyen of trial in which the accused was dead man.
 It was not his first trial That had taken place in his lifetime, and it's re. suit had been & sentence of imprison- ment for IS months. The delinquent was bureau chief ill the tax office os Schweidnitz, Silesia, and 1t was proved that he had embedded funds and forged documents. Soon after his sentence, however. he showed signs of unsettled reason, and at length died maniac.
 His widow, anxious to clear his mem ory from the stain that rested upon it, had the case reopened and proved by expert testimony that her husband had been demented at the time he commit ted the crime
 Thus occurred the peculiar circum- stance of dead man on trial The trial resulted in the reversal of the former sentence. the court pronouneing the de- osased not guilty.
