Whether Santiago suffers the horrors
q bombardment depends apparently upon
Blanoo or the Madrid cabinet. Gen.
Linares, who few. days ago declared that
he would never surrender, has apparently
weakened, to the extent at last of throw
ing the responsibility for capitalization or
continued resistance upon the captain
general on the Madrid authorities. The
case Of Santiago is hopeless, and prolonged
resistance means only useless waste of
life and property. There is practically no
limit to the number of troops we can send
against the city, while the Spaniards
have already got all the men that are
available. Under this state of facts, SO
obvious that it cannot be gainsaid, every
consideration Of humanity impels to a
prompt surrender. Experience has shown,
however, that such considerations are not
Mkely to be very potent with Spanish COM
manders, who seem to think that any
thing short Of dying in the last ditch is
cowardice.

THE PRESS.
SATURDAY, JULY 8.

One of Richard Harding Davis's de-
spatohes from the front contains the as
founding statement that nobody in the
army pays any attention to the orders of
the General-in- Chief, Major General
Shafter. If that be true it indicates the
grossest inoompetency on the part of
Gen. Shafter or the grossest ineubordi-
nation on the part of his inferior officers.
Certainly SO serious charge demands in
vestigation. If the author of it has falsi-
fed his permission to accompany the
army should be summarily revoked. If
it is true then there ought to be some
changes right away.

Way down at the bottom of the contro-
versy as to where the credit for the de-
stEuotion of Cervera's feet belongs is
doubtless some jealousy engendered by
the jumping of Sampson over Sohley and
g number of other commanders who stood
higher in the list than he. When the
Geat was assembled at Key West Admiral
Sicard WAS in command, and Sampson
was the captain of one of the ships of the
feet When Sioard retired on account of
i'll health Sampson was made an acting
rear admiral and placed.in charge of the
feet At the same time Schley was given
command of the flying squadron assem-
bled at Fortress Monroe. When Cervera g
ships appeared in the Caribbean Schley
was sent to pursue them, and he finally
lOs@ted them in Santiago Simpsons
squadron, or the most of it, was then at
Key West, but it subsequently moved to
Santiago and Sampson took charge of
p both fleets; which made Schley his subor-
dinate This caused some displeasure on
the part of the latter's friends, if not on
his own!part, and when Sampson sent in
without even mentioning Schley it was a
good deal strengthened, Schley's frien DIS
claimed that Sampso had purposely ig-
norei him, and set about righting
what they believed a wrong by Offering
resolutions thanking Schley and ignoring
Sampson. The fact seems to be that as be.
tween the two men Schley deserves more
credit for the destruction of CerYera's
feet than Sampson, for the very good
reason that he was there and took part in
it, while Sampson was many miles
away and did not arrive until the
affair was nearly over. It is set
up in SIMPSONS behalf that he
may have planned the line of action
i'll advance, but that is unlikely as
it would have been practically impossible
to anticipate the conditions that would
arise. While much stronger case can be
made out for Schley in this particular
matter than for Sampson, the truth proba-
bly, is that the credit ought to be about

Along in the middle of the forenoon there
might have been seen a man in front of

tat'on. He quickly walked away, but soon
after another tramp applied for admittance.
Miss Benson not only fed her strange guest,
but she entertained him with conversation.
She asked him about his life as tramp.

said. Il was gentleman once, years ago,
and was in love with girl, but"

Have you found that girl, or don't you
care for her any more?" asked Miss Benson,
i'll strange voice.
Il am looking for her now," was the re-
ply, "and when l find her l will show her
this" and the tramp pulled from his pocket
golden medallion.
"Dick!" cried Miss Benson.
Margaret" cried the tramp, and, throw
ing of his false whiskers, Dick Somers and
Margaret were clasped in each others arms.
They decided to give Fate no chance to
NEEDLE again with their affairs; they must
be married on New Years day; year was
too long to wait, SO the New Years feast
for tramps was turned into a wedding sup.
