San Juan Bonn la Edment.
Naval officers have objected decidedly TO
the loose way inn which the term BON
bardment'' is being used as descriptive of
such engagements as that between Samp-
sons squadron and. the forts at San Juan
They contend that it is not necessary to
give twenty-four hours notice, or any
notice. of an intention to attack fortifica-
tens, and that SIMPSONS fire being direct
ed primarily and entirely upon the forts
in the harbor, did not in any sense con-
stitute a bombardTnent Of San Juan 1t is
regretted that civilians suffered in per
sonal property in the attack of the Ameri-
can fleet, but that is one Of the vicissitudes
of war. and the American fleet could not be
held responsible.
To fnkc Ensign BagIey's Place.
One of the brightest and most expert
y6 Ing officers in the ordnance bureau, En-
sign G. L. Lattimer,i has at his own re-
quest, been designated to take the place of
the late Ensign Bagley second officer on
the torpedo boat Winslow. He will leave
Washington tomorrow and proceed direct
ly for Esy West. It is, believed that the
injuries to the Winslow can be repaired al
that point but the constructors report
must be awaited before deciding positively
to that. -'
Lieut.. Cameron MGR. Winslow was born
in the District of Columbia and is a mem
Der of the famous naval family of that
name. He graduated from the Naval Acad-
emy in 1875, and since then has had an
active service on the sea in all parts of the
world. He was the first commander Of the
torpedo boat Gushing. one Of the first yes
sels of that type built for the United States
navy. He was ordered to duty on the gun
beat Nashville in October, 1885, and has
served there continuously to date.
