Egyptian Government Prevents Ca
mara From Securing Employees.

London, June 2S.-The Madrid cores
pendent of the Standard syas:
Egypt's refusal to supply coal to Ad-
miral Camara'S squadron is strongly
resented due to England's influence.
1t is regarded as a fresh proof of an
AnglO-American entente.
The Spanish Transatlantic Steamship
company has coal deposits at Alden,
Colombo and Singapore. Capt. Aunon,
minister of marine, hopes the matter
may be arranged since England has not
yet declared coal cOntraband of war.
According to another version, the Incl
dent will serve as a pretext to bring
Admiral Camara to Spain to check
American aggression.

SLEIGHT OF HAND IN CHURCH.

Many years ago, when Joseph Mars
den lived in Hawaii, he attended
church on Sunday morning in Hilo.
Mr.. Marsden was then noted for his
skill in legerdemain. When DR.
passed around the contribution bag at
Sunday service, MIR. Marsden held
up $40 gold piece between his thumb
and foretinger so that DR. could
plainly see it. He then placed his hand
over the bag, palmed the goldpiece
and dropped in a silver quarter. DR..
- returned to the table with his col
lection. After the service he emptied
the bag on u table, but could not find
the $40 goldpiece. He shook the bag
repeatedly, turned over the small pile
of contributions, got down on the floor
and looked under the table, walked
down the aisle, looking closely at the
cracks in the floor, felt in his own
pockets, fearing that he had made
some mistake, and then went home
wondering at the strange loss of the
goldpiece. Some time afterward the
deceiver quietly sent the goldpiece to
the church.

THE HERO OF THE FIGHT.
minneapolis Trbune.)

Sampson is deserving of credit, Schley
is deserving OF credit; every one OF the
officers and men on our blockadin2
squadron off Santiago is entitled to all
the credit that a generous nation is
capable of besto Hing for the brilliant
fight which resulted in the destruction
of Cervera's feet. But the popular hero
of the affair will ungnestiOnablv be
Commander Wainwright, OF the Glou-
cester.
1t happened that when Carvera made
his rush and the fight began, Sampson
was off at Aguadores experimenting
the dislodgment of the Spanish
from their. works there. He Made all
haste to reach the scene of action, bit
was not fortunate enough to get there
until the fight was substantially over.
His flagship was able to put a few finish
ing shots into the Spanish torpedo boat
destroyers, and that was about all SO
it happent that the comnialid Of the
feet III the heat of the action fell to
Schley, and nobly did he do his duty.
But the spectacle that stirs the blood
is the heroic action Of the Gloucester, a
converted pleasure yacht entirely unpro-
tected going against the land batteries
and the big ships aud finally demolishing
the supposed terrors of the sea, the
torpedo boat destroyers. She was i'll a
perfect maeIstrom OF fire from more
powerful battries than her own, but all
unheeding the storm of shot and shell
she kept steadily to her work and
accomplished the task which her fearless
commander had undertaken.
That the Goucs ster and her crew es-
capped from the co ncentric hell Of fire
without the loss of man and with d
trifling amount of damage to the craft
itself seems no less than miraculous. In
the days OF Homer it would have been
said that there was protecting diety
interposing his Pre- I'D aegis between the
men of our navy and all sorts OF danger.
There also appears to be a valuable
naval lesson in the Gloucester. 1t is
that fast, buoyant vessels with great
gun power, even though unprot 4cted,
can perform effective service even against
protected fighting ships. The speed and
the gunnery appear to count for more
than the armor.
For our future navy we OF course, need
u full complement of heavy armored
battleships, but it is evident that the
best reliance for offensive operations on
the open sea will be the lightly protected
or partly protected cruiser, thimmense
speed and vast coal carrying capacity
and heavy armament. The great
tonnage and buoyancy OF such ships will
make them steady gun platforms, even
in rough water; their speed will enable
them to maneuver to advantage, and
skill OF their gunners will do the rest.
