1t Is to be hoped that President Nc
hinley has decided to abolish the Naval
Board OF Strategy. 1t would be din
cult 70 imagine n more nonsensical in
efficient and absolutely unnecessary
piece Oh humbuggery. To be sure. this
commander-in-chief of the military and
naval forces of the United States
should surround himself with intelli-
gent and capable advisers, but he
should always have supreme control,
In selecting the commanders Of the va
rlous branches of the two forces he
should be careful to select men who
can be depended upon. He should
then consult his advisers, decide what
ne wishes the army and navy to ac-
complish and then leave the details to
the real commanders Of the forces 1t
Is nonsensical to believe that body OF
men stationed in Washington can for
mulate better plans for the conduct OF
SIMPSONS campaign than he could
himself. Or at least. if they can, the
commander OF the fighting squadron
should be fired and a competent man
put in his place. But even if it were
reasonable to suppose that these self
constituted experts" know more about
the conditions surrounding the fleets
than the admirals and commodores
themselves, it is an exceedingly bad
policy to place important events in the
hands OF a board which is practically
without head and which is RESPONSE
BILE to no one. The first three weeks OF
the war have conclusiyely shown tina,
the Naval Board OF Strategy is an i'm
mense barnacle which impedes rather
than assists in the progress Of naval
science.

News of the First Firing.

News of the First Firing.
KEY WEST, April 23.-CDelayed in trans
mission 1.-The first shot from Spain was
fired last night, when MORO Castle opened
it's batteries on the United States feet
This news was brought here this afternoon
by the torpedo boat Ericsson, which left
the fleet at 10 O'Clock this morning and
reached here at o'clock this afternoon.
Captain Usher, OF the Ericsson, says his
boat was ordered out early last night on
scout duty. The fleet was lying about eight
miles off Havana. Lights were out and all
hands were ready for action. The light
craft scudded swiftly towards the enemy
and brought up almost under Morro's guns,
being enabled to reach such close point
because for the first time in years, Morro's
light was then burning. AT IL p. m. the
Spanish artillery gave out its first welcome
to the American fleet. The firing was done
more in tentative way than as an attack.
Not shot found a billet, and the American
fleet disdaining SPANS wretched gunnery,
maintained a dignifed silence. Before the
firing began, a newspaper dispatch boat,
which had lost it's bearings in the cloudy
night, got within three miles of MORO Cas-
tie, and before she knew her whereabouts,
the boat found MORO was firing on her.
She was saved by the unslxilled marksman-
ship of the Havana gunners, getting away
unframed and eventually showing up with
the fleet. Havana had not been bombarded
up to the time the Ericsson left. The
squadron lay spread out in line about
eight miles long, maintaining the blockade.
According to d proclamation the ships of
neutral powers are allowed to pass in and
out.

Captain Luzzaraga, of the Buena Ven

she is owned by an English firm, was bound

still on board the Dolphin, but those Of the
Pedro remain on the latter. The captains
and crews of both vessels sixty-two in all,
await the disposition of the prize court of
inquiry, which was appointed to-day, by
wire, by United States Judge Locke, at
Jacksonville. G. Browne Patterson and two
other attorneys of Eey West constitute the

Mayor Mallory if sufficient protection could

Meanwhile there is no earthly doubt as
to the opinion of the people of this coun-

at the self-restraint of the great democ-
racy which is tainted with urging it's rul-
ers on to war. The seventy millions of peo-
pie Of the United States are resolved that
there shall be liberty In Cuba There are
differences of opinion as TO the way in
which it should be brought about, but Spain

brought about somehow above all by an
immediate cessation of the barbaritieS for
which Spain is wholly responsible and which
have excited American opinion far more
than the common horrors of the civil war;
America is absolutely right. No nation was
ever more right. And we ought to acSnowl-
edge the justice of her cause by every artic-
ulate method at our command.
tx Is, we suppose, toe much to suggest
that our North Atlantic squadron should
be instructed to support armistice in
Cuba by a demonstration in the waters of
Havana. We are sure that such a demon
stration would make for peace, for il would
give Spain the excuse for yielding when
She is likely TO hold out. But if this is inn

TOPEKA, Kan, April PAR w. Turner,
secretary of the State Board of Railway
Commissioners, who was United States con-
sui general at Cadiz, Spain, from 1889 to
1895, is able to explain the position of
Joaquin Moreno, the Spanish member of
United States Minister Woodford's suite
whom General Woodford defended from a.
mob as they embarked from Madrid. In an
interview Mr.. Turner said
Mr.. Moreno was my clerk for three years
and before leaving Spain secured for him
the position of private secretary to Minister
Snowden, who was then in charge of our
interests in Madrid. Since then he seems
to have retained the position under each
succeeding minister. He is not English, but
Spanish, and HE history is somewhat ro-
mantle. His father, a native Of Cadiz, be-
came, when a young man, leader in one
of the republican uprisings in Spain and for
his activity was deported for life to the
Spanish penal colony at Ceuta. To this
place his sweetheart followed him and there
they were married. The present Mr.. Moreno
was born there. and there he lived until
his father died when Joaquin was about
twelve years old. The mother and son took
the body back to Cadiz for burial and then
moved to Gibraltar, where Joaquin secured
an English education, and then they re-
turned to Cadiz

He is about twenty-seven years old and is

Porter in close attendance, was lying about
eight or ten miles OFF Havana. when the
smoke of a steamer was seen a few miles
to the eastward. The flagship and the Por-
ter started for her Immediately. but when
they drew near they found that she was the
italian maR-of-war Giovanni Bausan, bound
for Havana. The Italian ran the Amer
lean colors up to his masthead and fired
rear admiral salute of fifteen guns, it be-
ing the first sslute Rear Admiral Sampson
had received from foreign war ship since
his appointment TO his present rank. The
New York returned the salute anu as the
firing occurred only few miles off shore,
the incident probably created CONSERVATION
in Havana.
just as this ceremony was completed two
schooners were sighted inshore from where
the New York and the Italian lay. and the
flagship signaled the Porter to go after
them. The torpedo boat glided over the
water at a very rapid pace and passed al
most under the bows of the Bausan on her
capture of the Mathilde. AS she ran the

across the bows of both schoners One OF
them came about Immediately, but she
proved to be fishing boat and was re-
leased. But the Mathilde was more. obsti-
nate and probably did not appreciate be-
ing stopped by what looked like toy boat,
or else she failed to understand what the
Porter wanted her to do. But when two
more shots were fired from the torpedo boat
the Mathilde came about, and the Porter
ran alongside, informed her she was seized
by the United States, and promptly took
her prize in tow, and started off to the flag
ship with her The Mathilde was loaded with
barrels of rum, was sunk almost to her rails
and the Porter had much difficulty in drag
ging the heavy schooner through the water,
but she finally brought her prize alongside
the flagship, and by this time she had
hoisted the stars and stripes above the
Spanish flag at the Mathildes mast head.
Nearly the entire crew of the New York
assembled on the deck, and as the Porter
came up with her prize they gave her
great cheering. The Dauntless was about
ready to leave for Key West and Admiral
Sampson asked the dispatch boat to tow
the prize to that port for him, which was
done, prize crew from the New York be-
ing placed on board the Mathilde. There
was strong wind blowing, heavy sea

spray dashing over the sailors and marines,
