This shows the importance Of hav-

business men and the City Council
will give this matter the attention
which its importance demands.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Final orders
were sent to Admiral Sampson relative
to the naval parade at New York city
on Saturday.
The ships will proceed to the anchor
age at Tompkinsville and there await
the arrival of Mayor Van Wyck and a
delegation Of citizens, who are to go
aboard the flagship and deliver an adj
dress to Admiral Sampson and the
men Of his command. This ceremony
will occur before 10 a. m. Saturday, as
the orders contemplate start up the
North river at 10 o'clock.
Anticipating pressure to gain ad-
mission to the flagship during the re-
view the orders are that no one Is to
be allowed aboard except on the ex-
press direction OF the president The
salute at the tomb of General Grant
will be the national salute of II guns.
Admiral Sampson probably will
come to Washington the early part Of
next week, but no orders have been
issued thus far concerning his move
ments.
It is understood that he will con-
tinue In command of the North Attain
tic feet while serving as member of
the military commission at Havana
Being thus in command Of the fleet,
he will be enabled to select a flagship
and proceed thereon to Havana, al

rHnEATExING SPANS COAST.

II Is reported from Washington that II
| the event Of Camaras elusive squadron'
sailing for the Philippines this govern
ment Will probably dispatch a hyini
squadron to threaten the Spanish coast.
AS we have before said, we put yer,
little faith in the story that Camara'i
objective point Is the Philippines. Al
the indications are that he is simply
manoeuvring for effect. and that M
will not get far from home. Moreover
before he could reach the Philippines
Dewey would have been reinforced by
the monitors Monterey and Monadnock
With Dewey's squadron thus strengthen
ed 1t would be little less than madness
for Camara to engage him.
But whether Camara shall thus tempt
fate or not, II might not be bad policy
squadron to Spain, and to the extent OF
narrowing the Spanish coast, carry the
war into Africa" IL we shall make q
clean job Of the Santiago business-that
is, take the city and capture or destroy
Cervera's squadron-it may be that we
could not better press our advantage than
by a demonstration In Spanish waters.
complete victory at Santiago would
leave us free handed to form a squadron
for service across the Atlantic that would
assure Camaras being taken care Of
should he put in an appearance. and at
the same time would place a large
stretch Of Spanish seaboard practically
at our mercy.
This condition following upon such
disaster to Spain as would be involved
in a decisive American triumph at San
tiago could but have a tremendous in
huence in stimulating the peace senti-
ment in Spain and in forcing upon the
government the alternative Of choosing
between peace and revolution. Indeed,
there are many persons both here and
abroad who believe that naval demon
stration against the Spanish coast
following upon an absolute Ameri-
can triumph at Santiago would
render unnecessary further military
operation in Cuba on any extended
scale. In other words, it is be-
leved that that would be the quickest
way of ending the war. Therefore,
while we generally take reports Of the
plans cum grano sails,
we would not be surprised If, after our
work has been done at Santiago, part

majority OF these are Democrats, and IN
some OF the close districts the votes oil
the absantecs will be much missed. We
think however. that In nearly every case
the soldier in the field win be able to pair
of with some one OF opposite politics. He
may be able TO pair or with brother
soldier; but IL he cannot do that surely
no will be able to find some one at home
in his congressional district who will ac-
commodate him. And in making such
arrangements the party committees would
doubtless be willing 10 take nearly ali the
trouble off the soldiers hands.
We repeat. IL the soldiers are to vote In
sible TO conduct the elections there under
the forms and with the precautions that
arc required by the Virginia law. During
the struggle for southern independence,
now commonly called "the civil war;" the
Virginia soldiers in camp in this State
were permitted TO vote; but the circum-
stances were different. Then we had no
registration lists. and the voting was viva
voce. and only white men could vote. I'm
der the proposed act of Congress the
eight negro companies going from Vir-
ginia would. of course. have exactly the
same rights as the thirty-six white COM
panies
In saying that there are now about 1900
Virginia soldiers in the field, Of course.
we do not concede that all OF them are
voters. BY no means. Very many OF
them are minors. On the other hand,
we have to state that enlistments are
going on steadily, and that there is some
thing more than possibility that the
President will make a third call for
troops.
The Dispatch. for its part, would very
much like to have the Virginia soldiers
vote If they are in the field in Novem-
Der, but for our life we cannot see how
IL could be arranged without change in
our State laws.
