while to move about one required the
use of legs, hands and feet; but the
game was worth it. This Is war, or q
very fair imitation of it, while the ex-
pectancy of greater things added to
the attactiveness Of the situation.
After night Of rolling in the rough
heavy sea to get under way in the
morning, the better to see the Iowa
and the Indiana, in fighting trim, start
seaward, and better still to follow the
New York as she raced eastward to
intercept what proved to be the Italian
man. f-war Giovanni Bansan, from
which vessel Rear Admiral Sampson
received his first rear admiral's salute
from a foreign warship, came the stir
ring incident Of the Mathilde, followed
by the determination to return to Key
West with dispatches.
The Associated Press dispatch boat
Dauntless was asked through the
megaphone to tow the Spanish prize to
Key West, which was a fitting ending
for the day. 1t was an example of the
grim irony Of fate which gave to the
famous eX-f1libuster the first Opportu-
nifty to tow a Spanish prize to the
United States, for which the thanks
Of Capt. Chadwick were received. AS
the Dauntless passed under the lee OF
the New York she received the heart
lest of cheers from the bluejackets,
while the officers of the flagship clap
ped their hands, the megaphone roared
some encouraging words, and Admiral
Sampson lifted his cap in answer to
the salute Of the correspondents.
The sea picture there presented was
worth remembering; the big hull Of
the New York, like a steel-gray gran
lite bluff, but more looking; the
long black hull of the Porter with her
hreatening-looking torpedo tubes, over
which the spray dashed violently; the
saucy Dauntless, with forestaysail and
mainsail set, her SmokeStack belching
forth thick smoke; the snaky hawser
leading to where the schooner, heavy
laden, was rolling with her scuppers
under, her crew busy getting up her
foresail, mainsail and jib, her Spanish
of an American off =, side by side
with Uncle Sans tars; all around roll-
ing seas and all over the freshenlne
gale
This picture had for a background
pale haze, beyond which were the
mountains Of Cuba anG IN the middle
distance saffron hued Havana, with a
speck of yellow striped with red float
ing from MORO castle.
How long will that standard stay
there? This was the thought that en-
eSACu every AiiHo DIS Iuc HdWSeT IlSuI-
ened and the Mathilde, following the
Dauntless, was rushed through the
water toward Key West.
The passage was a rough one, of
course, but 1t was no worse than usual,
and without any special event to
chronicle.
To the flagship New York belongs
the honor of firing the first shot that
announced the intention OF the United
States to establish a blockade of the
port Of Havana

A CHANCE FOR THE VESUVIUS.
of the Dynamite Gun Wan,
1t Used.

Inc advocates of the dynamite gun as a
weapon of warfare are urging the authori
ties here to bring the dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius into more active service, where
she can demonstrate her ability against the
Notifications at Santiago and other points
of attack. The VesuviuS has board
three sizes of dynamite projectiles namely.
those carrying 500 pounds of dynamite, 200
pounds and 100 pounds. Another projectile
carrying fifty pounds is available, but none
of these is carried by the Vesuvius at
present. She was equipped with the heav-
Ter class of dynamite shells, as it was de-
signed to give her real experience as fac
tor in warfare. The claims made for her
have never been subjected to the practical
test of real war. but it was believed that
the present war would afford an opportuni-
ty for showing whether this mode of using
dynamite was practical.
thus far, however, the Vesuvius has not
figured In any of the actions in West In
dian waters, nor have the reports from
that quarter shown that she was among
the ships available for active work. The
friends of the gun believe that one or two
shells containing 800 pounds of dynamite
each, landed in MORO Castle, would make
short work of that fortress. They say
single dynamite projectile would have a
more destructive effect than the broadside
of an entire fleet. 1t is pointed out also
that the elevation of the dynamite guns
high into the air and then dropping it, like
a mortar ball, in the midst of the fortifica-
ton. These views were called to the at
tention of naval officials today and the de-
sire was expressed that the Vesuvius be
given chance to throw a few hundred
pounds of dynamite into Santiago.
Some of the naval officers think the Vesu-
vius has not trained her guns upon Santi-
ago thus far because of the feeling of dan
ger which attends the handling of these
guns. 1t is said that If a Spanish shot
pierced the VesuyiuS and got into her dy-
Mantle magazine it would result in ter
rifle explosion and the wiping out of ship,
officers and crew. There is considerable
hesitancy also over firing these huge
masses of dynamite, naval officers be-
leve that it has not yet been proved that
they will not explode before getting under
way. These are some of the causes leading
up to the lack of service of this cruiser.
There is a desire, however to find out one
way or the other what dynamite will ac-
complish in warfare, and the appeals which
have been made probably will result in
bringing the Vesuvius into the ranks of
the fighting ships.

The Card System.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
While admitting the card system to be
success as far as facilitating the work of
certain branches of the War Department is
concerned, as claimed in last Saturdays
Star, it has been demonstrated to be very
much of a failure in recording payments to
the army In the office of the auditor for
War Department, where it was tried for
four years. In that office Is to be found
book record of the payments made to every
officer in the United States army from the
year 1917 up to date Each ledger has
space for 225 officers, an officers payments
taking up two pages of forty-eight lines to
the page. Otherwise you have a complete
record of an officers payments for eight
years on two pages, eight pages being
about the average to each officer. The rec
ord is comprised in about eighty books,
covering a period of eighty-one years. and
occupying but small space in one room.
1t takes but few minutes to glance over
the records and follow the disbursements
during any particular PERIOD certainly in
one-fiftieth part of the time it would take
to follow up the same record on the cards.
Now, let us compare the card system.
At thousand boxes to the ROOM each
box containing 500 cards, the payments
from 1917 to 1898 would have taken up
five rooms. not to mention the increased
cost of boxes and cards as compared with
books. These cards being arranged alpha
beticaly and recorded one for each month,
an almost inevitable result from constant
use would be the misfiling of cards, and
card msfiled is a payment lost and a rec
ord broken. When the authorities resolved
to return to the records and the cards were
transcribed on the books innumerable pay
ments were discovered to be msfiled and
many altogether missing. The worst fea-
ture, however. was the want of check on
the previous entry, for as each card was
recorded 1t was filed away in it's box and
when the following months payments
came in for recording 1t of course would
not be practicable to pull out and compare
each card for the preceding month. AS q
result duplicate payment to an officer
could be registered on the card without
the recording clerk being any the wiser.
On the book such could not occur without
palpable negligence on the part Of the
clerk, for If an officer was paid for Janu-
airy and so recorded, a duplicate payment
for that month would be instantly detected
on registry, the line above telling the tale.
OF course double payments are rare in the
army. but system Of recording that fails
to show up these few must be regarded as
defective. even If the other advantages
claimed for the cards were fully up to the
standard. C. E. NJ
