Suggests Name for New Warshfp.
20 the Editor of The Evening Star:


The press dispatches few days ago con-
tainad a suggestion from leading English
newspaper as to the name that should be
selected for the battle ship Amazonas, that
was recently purchased by this govern
ment. The Anglo-America was the name
pre- posed. Without raising any question as
to the value or propriety of the suggestion,
it has occurred to the writer that there is
another name which would perhaps appeal
more strongly to the American citizen
than any other that could be given. Why
would not it be good idea to call the re-
cent addition to the American navy the
Maine, and place in command of her Capt.
Sigsbee and the 'martyred few" who sur
vived the Havana tragedy? While l am not
gifted in nautical science or familiar with
the precedents that govern the naval
authorities. in my opinion such name
would give to the new vessel a fame as
sacred as the memory Of its lamented crew.

Not Under Its Auspices.

The statement has been generally cir
culated that E. V. Debs is to speak in
Washington this week, under the auspices
of the socialist labor party. A business
meeting of the party was held last night
at the Workingmen's Library, at which
resolution was adopted stating that the
principles ard tactics of the social DEM
ocracy, of which L. V. Debs is the chief,
are wholly at variance with the principles
and tactics of socialism; therefore section
Washington of the socialist labor party
wishes it understood that the statement to
the effect that +. V. DeDs is to speak I'M
der its auspices is incorrect; that Mr.. Debs
has no connection with the socialist labor
party, ard does not understand. and. there
fore, cannot promulgate, socialism"

A LETTER TO JUDGE SPRINGER.
Lieutenant Days Account Of Affairs
In Cuba.

SIBoEY, CUBA. July 16. 1s9S.
Hon. William NJ. Springer, Muskogee, L. II.
DEAR SIR:-Since leaving Mus
kogee / have been very busy, but
since July / time has been heavy
upon my hands, SO l relieve my
self by writing very uninteresting
letters to those whom ! think may
be interested in the conduct and
welfare of the Indian Territory
contingent of the rough riders.
And without egotism l can say that
We played no mean part in the
opening scenes of the war on
Cuban soil. Partly from influence
and reputation, and partly, pre-
sumo, from true merit we were
put in the van of battle and Jared
and shared with the regulars.
Knowing the prejudice that exists
In the regular army regarding
volunteer troops / consider this
a great compliment.
A mistaken and unwarranted
statement of our fight on June Oath
has found its way into the papers
at home, and partly for that reason
l write you, knowing that if op-
portunity presents itself you will
assist in correcting an error re-
fecting upon the wisdom and
judgment of our colonel and lieu
tenant colonel.
The rough riders were neither
forced, nor did they walk into an
ambuscade. l myself carried the
report of the advance guard of our
forces to Col. Wood. Every troop
in the regiment was deployed in
skirmish line and the enemy cor
recily located before a shot wa:
fired, and we fired that shot. Oul
line advanced firmly and steadily
against the Spanish position ant
they as persistently fell back
There was absolutely no surprise
no confusion, and no unnecessary
losses. | regret, of course, and 81
do all, that so many brave mel
fell; but all these things shoulC
have been forseen. l, for one, ex
pected to be target, and accepted
the chances of being hit.
/ think an injustice has beer
done our officers by reporters
who stayed closely and comfortably
llhaused five miles in the reafy

the head of the line with revol-

shoot the first person who started

vessel blew up twenty minutes
after the fire started, but all were
then safe in the boats. Yet the
