Sampson Reports the Success OF the
Expedition.
Washington, July "a. = The follow.
ing message has been received ut the.
navy department:
Playa, July 22.-Expedition to Nipe
has been entirely successful, although
the mines had not been removed for
want of time. The Spanish cruiser
Jorge Juan, defending the place, was
destroyed without loss on our part.
The Annapolis, and Wasp afterward
proceeded from Nipe to assist in the
landing Of the commanding general Of

Sampson.
This brief report from Admiral
Sampson declaring the success of the
expedition to Nipe is really more I'M
portant than appears on the surface.
The Bay Of Nipe lies on the northeast
coast Of Cuba. almost directly across
the island from Santiago. 1t is pro-
posed to establish base there which
will save ut least two days time in
getting supplies into Cuba as COM
pared with the Santiago route. 1t will
also form a good point Of operations
against Holguin, not far distant, and
if it should develop unfortunately that
restraining hand must be laid upon
the Cubans themselves, Nipe, in con-
nection With Santiago. would be az
effective means of doing this. The
war department has not yet been in
formed that Gen. Skaters Cuban al
lies have quit the American lines for
the reasons sent out in a printed let
ter by Gen. Garcia, but it is scarcely
doubted that such is the case. for the
friction has been growing more pro
nounced every day since the fall of
Santiago. and it is feared that a sew
GRANGE of relations cannot longer be
avoided. That the Cuban junta is
still hopeful of avoiding such a meas
ure is evidenced by the confidence
shown by Senior Quesada in an amica-
Bile settlement

Soldiers at Camp Thonans who Re.
ceive Marching Orders.
Chickamauga, Ga, July 23.-It now
looks as IL two-thirds Of the troops at
Camp Thomas are to be ordered to
the front as an expeditionary force to
go to Puerto Rico under Gen. Brooke.
The movement began this morning
when the Second brigade OF. the First
division, First corps, commanded by
Brig. Gen. Haines, left for Newport
News. Last night the brigade re-
ceived marching orders few minutes
before O'clock. The regiments Of
that brigade are the Fourth Ohio,
Third Illinois and Fourth Pennsyl-
vania. The order to move was greeted
with intense enthusiasm. The regi-
nlents Of the brigade Joined in yells
Of frantic delight and the regimental
bands discoursed national airs. This
brigade is the only organization that
left the Park to-day, but If there is
not sudden change in the plans as
they are understood here, the entire
First corps will follow, the different
brigades going out as rapidly as trans
portation can be arranged.

MILITARY GOVERNOR.

Gen. Wood of the Rough Riders Gets
the Job.
Santiago, July %. - Gen. Leonard
Wood, commander of the rough riders,
has been designated as military gov
ernor of Santiago city and has sue
ceeded Gen. Mckibbin, who has been
filling that Office temporarily since the
Americans took formal possession of
the city last Sunday. Gen. McKibbin
has resumed command of his brigade.
Gen. Woods selection for this inpor-
tant position has given rise to con-
siderable jealousy, although am told
on all sides that Gen. Wood is we'll
qualified for his new duties, particu-
larry SO because of his medical knowl-
edge. This jealousy seems to exist
mainly among the regulars, who feel
that the volunteers are receiving more
than their just proportion Of recogni-
ton. Gen. Woods selection, it is un-
derstood, was requested from Wash
inSton.

Charles Elliott Norton In his valedic-
tory to his class Of Harvard college
did not repeat the proposition that war
Is matter for the lower classes to deal
with and the boys Of Harvard had bet
ter aim higher with their smokeless,
noiseless and bulletless guns; but he
said his last words were: BE good
men; this is my last and best wish.
It Is excellent advice; but the standard
10 placed so high by the professor that
all Of the boys must inevitably get dis
couraged before they begin, and must
resort to more or less war as a relief
to their overcharged ambition. For

This is laxative age, and we are a
talkative people; but we get many re-
minders that quality outranks quanti-
ty. Ten men speak volubly in advoca-
cy OF a proposition; then one man, who
knows more about the matter than all
the ten, 'utters a few reasonable words
in good temper, and carries the meet
ing with him. Fair minded judges say:
The others had the weight Of discus
sion, but he had the weight Of the argu-
ment." Moral: Be master of the sub
ject, and you will be master Of the au-
dience.
