St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Once upon a
time Malay belle attended divine SER
vice conducted by young missionary
from America attired In one red garter,
and the other bellies turned green with
envy. President Aguinaldo sees that
such costume is primitive and not agree
able to eyes polite. Besides, a red gar
ter would not be fitting for one OF cx-
allied rank, power and potentate, one
OF the great of earth. So ne senstbly
discards the garter and puts on the gold
collar with a triangular gold pendant
with a sun and three stars. And hls
majesty will be symbOllzed by the gold
whistle and a stick with gold tassel.
There won't be prettIer prince on earth
than President AguinGldo when he as
sumes his new clothes.

APlaee 10 Draw II. Line.

The most distinguished prisoner Of
war In the hands of this government is
Admiral cervera. and he has been
properly treated with the consideration
and courtesy due his rank. The ntten-
don paid to him has met With general
public favor. and few have criticised in
any manner the treatment accorded him,
except in one Instance, which demcn-
strates that there is such a thing as
going too FAR In the matter Of considera-
tlon for prlsoner OF war. 1t is possI-
BILE that the sentiment which has in
eplred one case of extraordinary atten-
ton to the Spanish commander may
lead to embarrassmeuts for Cervera and
criticism Of the officer VINO has him in
charge.
1t may seem, for instance, that Adj
mIral McNair, the custodian of the dis
tinguisaed prisoner at Annapolis, went
q little beyond the bounds OF proprlety
and good taste In giving banquet to
cervera. Considering that ceryera Is a
prisoner Of war, captured while upon a
mission to make war on this country and
TO destroy the American ships and ssnd
our eeamen to the bottom OF the sea if
possible, and that he is an enemy of The
country, the action of the officer in maxi
ing him recipient Of the same consId-
Grafton and hospitality that would be ac-
corded to free guest from friendly
power on a mission Of peace, is going u
little beyond the limits. The considera-
ton due his position ana his character
as a prisoner Is well enough, but TO go
beyond that IS bad taste. If not bad
precedent. The danger to cervera is
that ne may BE charged by his own peo-
ple with being open to suspicion at this
time, when scape-goats are being sought
for.
This extraordinary treatment of the
captured Spanish admiral. the banquet
Ting Of the country's enemy, Is the more
likely to provoke criticism in view of the
experiences suffered BY Hobson, as re-
lated by him. We all duly appreciate
Ceryera's generous act in sending a
message OF congratulation to Admiral
Sampson on the heroism Of Hobsoa and
his men, and to assure him tina; the
nrisnners in his hands would be protect
ca and well cared for According 70
rJobson's recital since his release, Ger
vera kept this promise. He relates that
the spaniards supposed that he and his
mon we're survivors OF an attacking
AMERICAN wafshlp which had attempted
n run into the harhor but WIS sunk by
spanish shells, and that on learning the
truth the Spanish authorities confined
Inc prlgoners in MORO castle in damp
coll where ne could not have long sur
yiyed. Ceryera, on examination at the
reauess OF the British consul, asked that
no be transferred TO more Civilized quar-
.ers This was done. and for that ac'
the country has a kindly feeling for 'hG
unfortunate spGnish commander.
gut Hobson was not '3anauatcd by
.he Spanish officer having charge oil
him, nor are pdsoneTs Of war, no mat
Ter how distinguished ihey are usually
created so. Admiral McNair has done
No capeelal harm. hut he misht draw a
line between proper considerhti9n fo'

creating him as an honor5l guest Of the
country.

The Geographic reports Of q battle age
usually 50 nieagre and 50 filed with er.
rors that Il one wishes to get a full and
accurate account II Is necessary TO wait
until details are mailed. With this fact
in view We print the account Of the
chase Of the Yiscaya and Colon by the
American ships ut Santiago. sent by Nj.
Chapman, who witnessed the fight, In
his letter IN the Santiago number OF
Harpers Weekly. We also reproduce,
by permission, one OF his hve pictures
In the same number.
Then began splendid chase. The
Colon was rated 1914 knot armored
cruiser, the finest in the Spanish navy;
the Viscaya, a 21-klot ship, with two
11-lnch guns, was supposed, TO outclass
the Brooklyn and New York, with their
S-lnch guns and 19-knot speed. The Or
egon, a 15-knot bGttleship, was not
classed as a speedy vessel, or one able
to catch fast cruiser. just here, how
ever, the Oregon proved herself won-
der and the pride OF me American navy.
She had passed the Texas early In the
action, doing IL or 10 knots, and cut In
side Of her to get at the foe, firing splen-
did shots with her first and secondary
batteries. But now was her opportunity.
The Brooklyn, keeping outside Of the
two fleeing ships, was firing from her
forward S-inch turret guns and star
board broadside guns, and getting her
speed up to 1eIk knots, was rapidly over
hauling the enemy; but without the help
Of the oregon It Is possible that the Co
Ion might have gotten away But the
Oregon was coming up at l6-knot gait,
smoke and flames pouring from her fun
nes, and the water plNng In huge cas-
cAdeS about her bows and rolling out IN
long lines OF white on either side. From
her forward turrets sheets OF flame
burst at Intervals, and her ls-inch guns
were sending their shells around the
Viscaya, while the Brooklyn. nearly
abeam, was hammerlng her with rapid
fire that simply drove the Spaniards to
cover and soon sent the Nlscaya in for
the land She was run ashore at Aser"
raderO, seventeen miles west Of SANTA
go, completely wrecked and on fire. a
torpedo in the forward tube exploded,
tearing great hole in her bow, and
wrecIking her completely. The Iowa fol-
lowed up and received the surrender OF
the ship, and took of the survivors and
q number who had gotten ashore.
"The Colon, meanwhile. having a good
start, was doing her best to get away.
Her speed according to her captain was
at one time t115 knots; but she could mol
keep this UP. and the heavy shells Of the
Oregon falling about her and beyond
her, while the Brooklyn pounded her
with her rapid fire, gradually forced her
inshore, and at l:2O p. m. she ran her
bows on the beach at Rio Tarquino,
forty-eIght miles from Santiago harbor,
fired a lee gun and hauled down her
flag. She was practically unlnjured;
but the SpaniardS, having surrendered,
treacherousiy opened her water-Valves,
pounded OUT Headlights, threw over
board the breches Of the guns, and I'M
jured thes hip In every possible way be-
fore her captors could get aboard"
