CRIMINAL BLUSDERING.

Our soldiers have proved that they can

to cornpel them to needless suffering is

The climate of Santiago is not thought
to be conducive to business enterprise, but
the unsusrected resources of the natives
in that respect may be judged from the
promptitu6e with which they have begun
to put in claims against cur government
for losses sustained at the hands of the
Cuban troops during tile past three years.
We have undertakes, cur Santiago broth
ers. They are rapidly developing some OF
the keenest traits of American citizen

Pertinent Press Comment.
ALGER's INEFFTCIENCY.

Baltimore News.
Since the days of the fighting in
front OF Santiago, there has been GU
mulative evidence of the inefficiency OF
the work of the War Department in
the matter of transportation, supplies
and medical attendance In the haste
of campaign carried on under circum-
stances so unusual, certain amount of
unprepardness and of ayoidable draw
backs was to be expected. But the
shocking conditions under which the
sick soldiers On the Seneca and the
Concho made the voyage to New York,
together with the terrible privations
suffered in the camps, which Inspector
General Breckenridge has reported,
seem certainly to pass far beyond the
line of excusable shortening.

If you think the United States troops In

have to change your opinion when you
read that every colonel that went out
under Shafter has been killed or disabled
by disease and sent north. That is a
fatality almost unexampled in modern
warfare, but 1t also tells glorious stony
one to adorn the pages of United States
history. And it will be one Of the most
brilliant in a volume now adorned with
numerous tales Of undying courage and
matchless bravery.

Congressman GrOsvenor, who is now

who insist that the American flag will
never be hauled down where it has
once been hoisted. Mr. Grosvenor's at
titude is perhaps natural. After the
Congressional elections he will be on
the something's equally Ass good waiting

to accept a colonial Office in a pleasant
climate and with a suitable stipend
Aside from this Mr.. Grosvenor has al

WHY HAS THE FOREIGNER NOT

Monroe Waterman.

1t has been the constant habit of the
Republican politicians at work piling
on the tariff taxes, when besought to
be more merciful to the American con-
sumer to answer that the foreigner
pays the tax. This was the oft-re-
peated response when the Republican
Congress was making the preposterous
Dingley law under which the govern
ment's revenues have fallen fifty mill
ions Of dollars behind the expenses
Mr.. Dingley himself has often proven
to his own satisfaction that tariff taxes
are paid by foreigners.
Why is it, then that the Republican
party has not raised the money where

TARIFF LAW AN ANACHRONISM.

Philadelphia Record
In the midst of the evidence produced
by the Wilson tariff that the Industries Of
the United States had Cutgrown the mlki-
ness Of infancy and in their lusty man
hood were capturing the worlds markets
the Dingley bill was enacted. So far from
catching a glimpse of the commercial
revolution the authors of the bill adjust
ed the schedules of duties to condition
of things that had passed away. In the
rapid march of commercial events the
Dingley tariff, so far as protection is con-
cerned, has already become an anachron-
ism, while its failure as revenue meas
ure is almost universally acknowledged.

PEACE-AND AFTER.

There are immediate and pressing
problems to follow peace. No nation
ever leaves conquered country to it
self. Military occupation in such in
stances is the most obvious of neces-
sitties. If the war Is over, the T1eces-
sites Of keeping the army We have
raised for it, or very considerable
pcrticn of this army, continue. 1t is
necessary concomitant of peace, and
because of it there must still be heard
the military note in the land. Let us
hope that it may be but for short
period.

Surgeon General Sternberg has

Concho scandal, stepping on the heels
of the Seneca disgrace, will make it ne

hauling over, unless the blame can be
successfully located elsewhere. In that
case there is still room for disciplinary
proceedings in some quarter.

HEROES WORTHY THE NAME
Seven of Uncle Sans Boys Perform an
Heroic Deed at Santiago.


The sinking of the u. s. collier Mer
rlmac in the narrow channel entering
Santiago harbor, which the Spanish
reported as big victory delaring they
had sunk a u. S. cruiser, proves to have
been the most heroic deed of the wal
with Spain, as the following dispatche.
| show:
RearAdmiral Sampson decided tc
| close the narrow harbor entrance OF
, Santiago de Cuba by sinking the collier
Merrimac, loaded with coal, in the
channel. He called for volunteers from
the Merrimac and the flagship New
York to go to almost certain death and
400 men offered themselves. Naval
Constructor Lieut.. Richmond u. Hob
son and six men were chosen and the
Merrimac, under her own steam, en-.
tered the channel under terrible
Spanish fire, The vessel was riddled
with projectiles, but she anchored and
swung around. Lieut.. Hobson then
set off an internal torpedo with an
electric attachments there was an ex-
plosion, the Merrimac sunk, the chan
mel was closed and, apparently, Ad-
miral Cervera will be unable to escape.
The heroic crew of the Merrimac
was not doomed to death and were
saved by boarding an old catamaran
which had been thrown overheard
after the Merrimac's boats had been
demolished by Spanish shots Unable.
after the sinking of their vessel, to
make their way back through the
storm of shot and shell, they rowed
into the harbor to the Spanish flagship.
and were taken on board unharmed.
The news of their wonderful escape
was sent to Rear-Admiral Sampson by
Admiral Cervera, the Spanish admiral
being so struck with the courage of
the Merrimac's crew that he thought
Admiral Sampson should know that
they had not lost their lives. Admiral
Cervera's chief of staff, Capt.
Oviedo, boarded the New York
under a flag of truce, bearing the
announcement of the safety of the
Merrimac's men and returning with a
supply of provisions and money for the
prisoners.
The Spanish fleet is now helpless
captive in Santiago harbor. The mar
row channel leading into the har-
Dor being completely blocked by
the Merrimac being sunk across its en-
trance. 1t is now impossible for the
Spaniards to get out, and it is equally
impossible for any vessel to get into
the harbor. Therefore the Spanish
first-class armored cruisers Maria Ter
esa, Cristobal Colon, Vizcaya and Al
mirante Oquendo, with the two torpedo
boat destroyers Furor and Pluton, are
no longer of any use to Spain. The
heroes who accomplished the deed were
Lieut.. Richmond u. Hobson, assistant
naval constructor, and Daniel Monta-
que, George Charette, j. c. Murphy, |
Oscar Deignan, John Kelly and III. |
Clausen. The latter, coXswain of the |
New York, took part in the expedition
against orders.
