Promotions Awaiting Their Return
From the Spanish Prison.
Washington. June 15.-Substantial
recognition has been given by the navy
department to the members of the gall
liant crew who took the Merrimac into
the entrance of Santiago harbor and
sunk her across the channel under the
very muzzles of the Spanish guns Last
evening official recognition was taken
of their valor, when Secretary Long
signed the orders to Admiral Sampson
directing the promotion of all the
members Of the crew. Lieutenant Hob
sons reward will come later through
congress. The men still linger in a
Spanish prison, but when they return
again to their ships their promotions
will be awaiting them.
The orders sent to Admiral Sampson
direct the promotions of the men as
follows: Daniel Montague, master-at-
arms, to be a boatswaim, raised from
$50 month to $1,000 year; George
Charette, gunner's mate, to be a gun
per, from $50 month to 1900 a year:
Rudolph Clausen, Osborne Deignan and
J. c. Murphy, coxswains, to be chief
boatswains mates an increase of $40
month; George f. Philipps, machinist,
to be chief machinist from $40 a month
to $40 month; Francis Kelly, water
tender. to be chief machinist, from s37
month to $40 month.
In addition to the promotions steps
have already been taken towards the
presentations of medals to Constructor
Hobson and the members of his gall.
liant crew. What new honors await
Constructor Hobson, who planned and
executed the brilliant coup, have not
as yet been disclosed.

second Manila Expedltion saiis


San Francisco, June 16.-The second
expedition from San Francisco to the
Philippines sailed yesterday The total
number of officers and men in the ex-
petition is 3,540. This, with the $500
who are en- route to Manila, will give
Admiral Dewey a supporting force of
over 5000 well armed. well equipped
and well seasoned soldiers. 1t is ex-
pected that the expedition which sailed
yesterday will arrive at Manila about
July 4. If it should arrive on time it is
not unlikely that there may be an In
dependence day celebration of great
significance in the far east

A WELCOME VICTORY.

Victory is always welcome. But il
is doubtful if amy victory ever won by
American arms was more welcome
than that which eliminated in the
unconditional surrender of Santiago.
Only the day before the country had
been horror stricken with the news
that yellow fever had attacked the
army. If news had come that the
Spanish had i'm some mysterious way
been reinforced by $4,000 men il
would not have caused 1.-THE of the
CONSERVATION with which men read
of the outbreak of the dreaded fever
The situation threatened the dreadful
alternative of forcing our amy to
assault the Spanish defenses with the
certainty of losing hundreds and per-
hsps thousands of lives, or of being
decimated by disease while enduring
the tedium of slow siege. Surely it
was awelcome message which brought
tidipgs that neither of these horrors
was to be suffered. The city, with all
the adjacent territory, is surrendered
without the loss of another life, the
army will be brought away at the
earliest moment, and the fever is mild
and not spreading. surely goodness
and mercy have followed us all the
days of our lives"
The fall of Santiago marks the end
of a campaign, and it would be hard
to cite campaign of two weeks in
any war history which had accomp-
Iished bigger results. Within those
fourteen days great steel clad
squadron, the pride of Spain, has been
destroyed; nearly a thousand Spanish
sailers have been killed or drowned
and nearly twice that number, includ-
ing the Spanish Admiral, made
prisoners; more than dozen Spanish
forts have been dismantled and
probably 5000 Spanish soldiers killed
or wounded; territory of hundreds
of square miles, including four i'm
portant and heavily fortified cities,
together with their garrisons, has
been conquered, 1t is proud record
and demonstrates anew the possibili-
ties of American courage and endur-
ance and skill.

THE LADKONE ISLANDS.

These islands which one of our
transport ships took possession of the
other day, are a group of 20, of vol
canic origin, situated about 2000 miles
east of the Philippines. Only two or
three are inhabited and the total area
of fertile land is only l,254 square
miles They were discovered by
Magellan in 1921 and called Los Isla
de los Ladrones, "the thieves is
lands" because of the propensity of
of the natives to steal. The discovery
of a people who were better thieves
than themselves made the Spaniards
jealous and they proceeded to eXter-
inmate the natives. The population
at that time was 100000, but now it
is only 5000 and many Of them have
been brought by the Spanish from
Luzon, the principal island Of the
Philippine group. The whitening
blight Of Spanish rule has done it's
fatal work there just as in all other
lands where it has existed. The
name was in 1867 changed TO Marian
ne in honor of the Spanish queen.
