Taking all advices concerning the
fight at Santiago de Cuba, and analyz-
ing them, we reach the conclusion that
there was a vigorous bombardment of
the forts and beach batteries at the
entrance to the harbor by the rein
forced squadron Of Commodore Schley;
that 1t resulted in the demolition OF
the more formidable works, and that
our ships suffered no material damage;
that there was considerable loss of life
among the Spanish garrisons, and none
among the men Of Schley's fleet; that
the bombardment was for the purpose
of developing the strength of the Span
ish works and batteries, and that they
were found to be more formidable than
was expected. Thus the purpose of
the assault was accomplished fully. and
the way in large part cleared for the
eventual capture Of the position and
the destruction or capture of Cervera' S
fleet, or such part of it as is in that
harbor. The outlook is for renewed
battle on the same lines as that OF
Tuesday, and that these assaults will
be prosecuted vigorously until cooper
alton With land forces enables the har-
Dor and city to be carried by storm, Is
to be expected.

SHOULDER. S1RAP6- FOR INCOM-
p So FETENTS.

As we'll might a ward politician who
knows nothing except manipulation Of
low politics be appointed a surgeon in
the army to deal with the lives and
limbs Of wounded men who fall in bat
ties for their country, as an incompe-
tent man unlearned in the art Of war
be called to the cammand of American
soldiers.
1t is breatfed upon the electric cur
rent that Mr.. VIM. j. Bryan, known
only as a politician and a candidate
for office, is to receive the command
of a regiment of volunteers for the
war. Why? What does Mr.. Bryan,
however eminent as a 16 to l advocate,
know of military affairs? Is he to learn
by. experimenting with the lives of the
brave fellows who enlist to fight for
the flag?
Where did Mr. Bryan acquire knowl-
edge of the grave and intricate duties
OF a commander? He has never served
In the army, he has had no military
training, he has made no study of the
methods of camp or war. So, too, we
are told that other incompetents are
to wear shoulder straps while better
men carry muskets. The two sons Of
Mr.. Bryce are foisted upon the army
simply because their father is a politi-
clan. AlgernOn Sartoris, a mere lad,
is wearing shoulder straps and lording
1t over scar-worn veterans because he
is the grandson of Grant The son of
tion is that he presents violent con-
trast to his illustrious departed father,
has been given a commission without
single military qualification, though
doubtless all these are precisely as
Well qualified as is ex-Congressman
Bryan. Such men as these are ap-
pointed to command, while there are
hundreds Of capable officers who have
served with distinction who are anx-
ious to be called, and who are ignored
because they have not sufficient politi-
cal pull or do not care to stoop to
use it.
The whole thing is disgraceful. How
infinitely superior are the dilletante
young men from the fashionable quar-
ters Of New York with money to squan-
der, who have put aside their manicure
sets and monocles and taken up posi-
tons as privates in rough-riding cav
airy and in infantry commands? These
latter, who are called dudes, have
proved that beneath the dudes hide
there is often the gallant American
who is not afraid to fight, and who is
content to touch elbows with the sons
of cobblers and the nerve-strung young
braves from the counting-room and the
sales counter, in defense of their
native land and in promotion Of its
humane policies.

he knows it is best for his country, best
for his health, comfort and safety, and
best for the accomplishment Of the ends
his nation has in view, purposes in the
framing Of which he took an active
part
The volunteer soldier understands
then, just as we'll as any one else can,
that he is raw material, and not the
fittest material for efficient warning
against the public enemy. No one bet
ter understands than he that it takes
time, patience and hard work to fit him
physically and technically for the duty
to which he has volunteered freely. But
there are no men on earth more ready
to submit to the process, and therein
lies the glory of the American citizen
soldiery, backed as it is by courage,
daring and intense patriotic spirit.

SUGGESTION TO BE CON
DEMNED

The suggestion has been made to our
worthy Mayor that the people expect
a Horrible exhibition on the Fourth Of
July. We doubt it; indeed, we are pre-
pared to say that the alleged expecta-
tion is not we'll founded. These bur-
lesques of patriotic ceremonial are in
bad taste at any time. They do not
appeal to any worthy instinct They
are directly the reverse of educating.
They are 50 far lacking in spontaniety
that they are promoted only by the
payment of money to participants in
the form Of prizes, and they thus lose
what little spirit of humor they might
otherwise have.
They have no part in a national cere-
monial, and offend quite as often as
they amuse. There is no possibility of
exercising control over the features pre-
sented in these parades, which are as
frequently vulgar as they are meant to
be funny To the thinking
they are positively hurtful to the mind
Of youth, for they tend to behttle and
degrade day, which. while a joyous
one, should be held to be too sacred for
mere frivolity Of the order that enters
into the composition of the "Horribles. "
More than this, the thing has ceased
to be novel and is devoid Of originality.
It pays a poor compliment to the in
telligence and spirit of the people to
say that they are gratified by
such displays, promoted largely to
afford a few opportunity to pocket
cash prizes. We think that the
demand suggested to the Mayor
comes from those who hope to profit
by the exhibition at the expense of the
free contributions of the people given
to properly celebrate an event that is
the most sacred and inspiring in our
national history.
BY all means let the day be in amuse-
ments, care free and joyous, but lei
entertainments provided at public cost
and by solicited subscriptions be Of a
character that is in keeping with the
spirit, the memories and the glories of
the natal day Of the nation.

ceiving their tags Immediately sought their
partners, whom they escorted to the table
which was well filled with fruit, cake, coffee
and cocoa. Each person who received an in
yitaton was expected to bring or send as many
pennies as would tell the years of their age.
The contributions reached the sum of 5000,

Mr. Robert Ryan was badly beaten-by three
negro men ON Saturday night while returning
TO his home at Aberdeen from visit to friends
at Paradise he had reached a lonely spot on
his way when lie was assaulted. Ryan was
alone and was completely at the mercy of his
assailants who knocked him down and beat
him severely. Robbery was evidently the
motive for the outrage, as he was stripped of
all of his valuables, including his eyeglasses
aud about hundred aud forty dollars in
money. AS soon US he recovered he started
for home and reported the affair. Officer
Temple visited the place where the assault
took place, and found Ryan's hat and cane,
which had been overlooked ia the sculle.
No trace has so far been found of the negroes
who evidently were familiar with the locality
as they aceosted Mr.. Ryan by name when
they first came upon him. Dir. Ryan was still
confined to his room at last accounts,s and
suffered considerably from the injuries he re-
ceived.

On Thursday of last week, a stranger ar
rived in Havrc de Grace aud registered at
the Hartford House, us Louis Mayals, of Trcn-
ton, n. j. He represented that he was de-
sirous OF purchasing suitable property to
engage in the manufacture of paper boxes
and bags, and was provided with letter OF
introduction purporting 70 be signed by Mr..
Charles McFadden, a resident of Trenton,
but formerly living in Havre de Grace. He
used this aud other testimonials in forming
the acquaintance of the citizens, and on Fri
day he made arrangements to purchase the
property on Union Avenue belonging to
MIR. l.. II. Ascherfeld, and used as Music
Hall and store. The price was fixed at s., 900,
which he agreed to pay. An agreement was
signed and Mr.. AscheIfeld asked for an ad-
vance, which Mayors promptly agreed to,
giving check on the National Bank of Bal
timore for 500.
Having accomplished this, Mayors under
took to use the credit which he had establish
ed by this purchase. He called Mt the store

received $50 charge. The two checks were
duly presented for payment, and when the
Havre de Grace bank inquired concerning the
matter, the news came from Baltimore that
the man was entirely unknown in that city.
Search was imm ediately made for Mayors,
but he had vanished from sight. lie and MIR.
Cohen's twenty dollars had departed together
to some unknown locality. He is described
as being Of short stature, heavy build, and
about forty years of age. He was evidently
of German descent, having much the a2-

and black derby hat. ......
