IT Germany is sincere m her pro testations of neutrality and of hay ing DO desire to interfere in the un- pleasantness which now exists be- tween Spain and the United States, she should give orders to her officers | in the Philippines to observe proper decorum. Admiral Dewey has kept his temper, and has shown a remark able degree of patience and Tor bearance in dealing with the German officers there. He has shown them that he is a diplomat as well as fighter, but there is a possibility that he may yet be provoked into giving some of those German gun boats a smell of American powder. He certainly will if they get be tween his guns and the enemy"
 4 man named Keller, a member of the crew of the Indiana writing to his homo about the naval battle at Santiago says: Towards the end of the battle, when the Vizcaya was all but vauquished, the tars m the turret got together and scratched on one of the shells in big letters this inscription: Remember the Maine" The shell was run into the breach an the gun carefully sight ed. Every marine held his breath as the lanyard was pulled. A tre- mendous cheer rang out as the great proiectile crashed into the stern of the Vizcaya, tearing it to pieces and setting the vessel on fire. Captain Eulate of the above vessel relates that one shell from the Indiana killed aud wounded 160 men on his vessel. This may have been the fatal missile.
 Cunningham Graham. an ex-mem- Der of the English parliament, re- gently gave vent 10 little English bombast, which will not be appre- ciated by the American navy or by Americans generally, despite the fact that it comes from one Of a people professedly friendly to this country. In a communication tO an English newspaper, this ex-states- man made the remarkable statesment that Dewey owed his marvellous sue cess at Manila to the employment of English guuners, whom he had en- gagged at fabulous wages at Hong Kong before he sailed for Manila. The article in question, being called to the notice of naval men at Wash ! ington, Captain Crowninshield. the chief of the navigation bureau, who is directly in charge of the personnel of the navy. very promptly and and positively said: We never have yet been called upon to get English men to teach us how to shoot. An inspection of the muster rolls of Dewey's squadron will convey the amplest refutation of this charge and show how absolutely false it IS. Even later than the muster rolls are the prize lists prepared for the use Of the auditing officers of the treas ury department, and by comparison with the muster rolls, as the squad ron was originally formed, they show very clearly that no English men were behind the guns that sunk the Spanish ships and silenced the forts at 1avite"

AeILIoUs BLATHERSKITE.

Among the many pessimistic and fault finding things that Richard Harding Davis wrote to the New York Herald on July 3, and which is cheerful reading now, since the surrender of Santiago, a few are quoted below. These quotations show that Dickie Davis grows very nervous under fire, and demonstrates that a man of his temperament should never go to war, even as cor respondent. But here is what he says:
 Another such victory as that Of July l, and our troops must retreat. The situation IS exceedingly grave.
 Judging from the quality and the quantity of the rations left behind them in the trenches, the Spaniards are bou Itifully supplied with food. There is constant and heavy firing, showing no lack of ammunition.
 "The city is protected by 6-inch guns. We have only 16 3-inch guns, for the siege guns have not even been taken from the ships.
 "I have been writing about this campaign since it opened, and cer- tainly have not been an alarnist. The situation here is now critical alarming-and it would be make 1t out otherwise.
 "The troops should never been sent here without the entire force of artillery at Tampa, and until it ar- rives, they cannot either advance nor retreat.
 They can only lie on their faces, or be shot at if they rise.
 "They have been in most cruel heat. and wet from frequent showers for three days.
 They are unable to move abont.
 "Tbey are under au unceasing fire.
 ''Sone had been without food for forty eight hours. When food dId come, it was hard tack and coffee. Those who smoke, and they are in the majority, were suffering agony from the lack of tobacco. Their nerves were so unstrung in conse- quence, that as a substitute they were smoking grass, tea leaves and herbs.
 "Ogerhead the fire was incessant. Ten men at a time manned the rife pits and were relieved every houI. The rest of the company or troops lay lower down the crest, trying to sleep. Shrapnel burst over them, Killing and wounding several. They were under an uninterrupted fire from sharp shooters.
 We are in the face of a possible disaster. Nothing has been done by these expeditions beyond proving ing the heroic courage of American soldiers.
 "Truthfully, the expedition was prepared in ignorance and con- ducted in a series of blunders. Its commanding general has not been within two miles of the scene of operations.
 This is written with the sole purpose that the entire press of the country will force instant action at Washington to relieve the strained situation.
 Here is what is needed; First, artillery, but as that cannot arrive soon, the navy must be urged until it acts.
 Admiral Sampson could do much by landing stores, guns and quick firing guns and blue jackets, and coming to the relief of the men on the hills. He can lombard the city, or lose few torpedo boats and force his way into the harbor."

poLlrlcAL oueRRILLAwARFARE

The warfare against G"yerne MeCoTd continues. Ever since he was first talked of for governor, he has been most unjdstly assailed by his political enemies. In the absence of subjects for legitimate criticism he has been personally assaiied, mis- represented and subjected to the most yindictive personal abuse. When he first announced his desire 10 head a regiment in the army, his sincerity was professed 10 be doubt ed by his enemies. He continued importuuing the President and Sec retary of War until he succeeded in securing his commission, when he is subjected to all manner of mis- representation. Fair minded people, even among his political enemies, can readily see and admit the in- justice of this persecution -- this guerilla species of pohiica! warfare. Whether it is annoy ing to Governor McCoTa IS not known, but 1t has certainly been the means of making friends for him. Arizonans are noted for their love of fair play and jus tice. and uncalled for attacks, unjust criticisms and personal abuse of officials or individuals, begets sym pathy and friendship for those maligned.
 Governor McCord. through all the torrent of personal abuse 10 which he has been subjected, has main tained a digni6ed demeanor, and regardless of the personal venom which has been hurled at him, he has discharged the duties of his office, as he has conceived them to be, in au able and fearless manner, winning the respect and esteem of those who were opposed to him be- fore.
 As to any insinuations that Gov ernor Murphy has been guilty of treachery towards Governor Me Cord, any one knowing the man knows that charge to bA perfectly groundless. Any insinuation of such character must emanate from those who are capable of such actions should opportunity present itself. It is a charge which can never be laid at the door of Governor Murphy. If he is mans friend, he is true one, and will never be- tray him. If he is a foe to any in- dividuaI, that individual will know it by the open and honorable oppo- sition, which he will meet from him. As to double dealing with friend or foe, it is entirely foreign to his nature. He has been Governor Me Cords friend from the first, and firm and steadfast supporter of him. When others assailed him personally and politically, MT. Murphy stood up for him. When Governor Me Cord became imbued with the idea of raising a regiment, he ielegraphed to MT. Murphy, who was then in Washington, and whom he knew to be his friend, to make a personal appeal to the President and Secre- tary of War in his behalf. What ever part Governor Murphy took was at the solicitation of Governor McCord, and as his friend. The entire proceedings are free from any per6dy or treacAery on his part, and are also free from the other charge --of insincerity on the part of GoYer1or McCord. Yet, these are the conditions wEich have brought forth a species of guerrilla warfare against both gentlemen, which is unparalleled in the p Dlitical history of the territory.

! lheY NOW Carry the British Flag. and
! Must Be Given American Register
! If Accepted-The First Manila En-
pedition May Leave at Any Hour.
Washington, May 24-Much comment
and some criticism have been caused
by the delay in forwarding troops to
the Philippine Islands to support Ad-
miral Dewey. Both the comment and
the criticism had their origin in the
desire for the people that the fruits Of
Deweys brilliant victory at Manila
should not be endangered by any lack
of assistance from either the navy or
war departments.
1t is known now, however. that
troops would have been sent to Manila
before this had 1t been possible for the
war department to secure TRANSPORTS
on the Pacific coast. The utmost diff
hculty Is being experienced by the de-
partment in obtaining such transports.
The coastwise trade on the Pacific is
not large as compared with that on the
Atlantic, and majority of the vessels
engaged in the trade are Of foreign
register. of course ships flying a for
elSh nag cannot be used as transports
by the government, as such use would
constitute a violation Of the neutrality
laws of the nation whose flag the ship
bore.
The war department is now negotia-
ting by telegraph with the Pacific Mail
steamship company for the charter of
two of the company's vessels. the China
and the Colon. The Colon flies Ameri-
can colors, but the China is under the
Hawaiian flag. The difference between
the war department and the steamship
company is now one Of price. Whether
satisfactory terms will be agreed upon
remains in doubt.
Last night Assistant Secretary Meil1le-
john received a telegraphic offer from
the agent of the Northern Pacific
steamship company at Seattle placing
at the disposal of the department the
company's entire fleet Of steamers pro-
vided they be given American register.
The ships are the Tacoma, Arizona,
Olympia, Columbia, Victoria and Ar
gyll. All are British built vessels and
fly the British flag.
Commenting upon the situation which
confronts the department Secretary
Meikeljohn said:
If we cannot get vessels at what we
consider fair prices, we shall be forced
to impress such as we may need into
the service and leave the prices to be
adjusted subsequently by board ap-
pointed for the purpose. We shall have |
simply to ask congress to give Ameri- /
can register to vessels that we can OBJ
tain. There is no other way out of the |
difficulty"
The likelihood is that the war de- |
partment will order such vessels of the |
Northern Pacific Steamship company

Fire at Hilton.

The store of DR.. J. W. Sandal at
Hilton was totally destroyed by fire
on the night of the 4sh inst. The
Doctor was in Columbia at the time
of the burning and the origin of the
fire is shrouded in mystery. Mf. r
B. Killer, who has store next door
to the burned building, was the first
to discover the fire and when hs
first saw it, the fire was wholly inside
and the flames had just burned
through the roof. By hard work bis
store was saved. Owing to the wet
condition Of the adjacent buildings,
they were saved from destruction.
The rains Of the preceding days was
indeed a fortunate rain for the town
of Hilton, otherwise the probability
is that it would have been burned
out of existence. As it was only
the stock and store OF Dr.. Sandal
were destroyed entailing loss Of
about $1,000.
