& Rio Grande Railroad Company and
its connections have been operating a

ciRc and Atlantic Coast via. Salt Lake
Pueblo, Denver, Kansas City and
ChicSoo for years, md three da. q
each Week, viz. every Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday evening. The
cars for this through service are Of
5he latest Pullman design, and are
supplied witch clean linen and bedding

THE LIONS WHELPS"

The London Spectator has this to
say for America in its issue of July
9th.
The first thought of all Englishmen
in regard to the naval battle is that
the American fleet did its work
~splend'dly. The whole performance
of Admiral SIMPSONS feet was in
accordance with the best traditions of
the Anglo-Saxon n%avies, and every
Englishman has read of their doings
with a flush Of pride. There was the
old hard pounding such as the Eliza
bethan sea dogs used, and the same
curious mixture OF s~teadiness ard
daring, GOODNESS and reckless dash.
NO doubt the comparative strengths
were very different, but as one reads
OF the Spanish ships tearing full
speed up the coast of Cuba, closely
pursued by the relentless Americans,
who poured in a continuous and well
directed fire, ii is impossible not to
think of the armada as it passed up
the channel ir flight, brakes ships
hanging on its flank and Kidding the
Spaniards' hulls with their ceaseless
fire, IRE which, as on last Sunday,
alwt Init and al ways did damage.
Had, indeed, tie Spanish ships been
more numerous and larger, and had
most Of the American ships been the
size of the Gloucester, the battle,
after the Spanish ships emerged.
would have been a working model of
the battle which began the destruct-
ion of the armada. In a word, the
moral ASPECTS of what was almost
the first, and may be the last, fleet
action between the Spanish and Eng
llsh races were very much alike. In
both cases it was the man behind the
gun who, in the last resort, won the
battle.
The battle shows that the American
navy is a most efficient fighting ma
chine. We did not want to be told
that here, for we knew it already, and
realized of what stuff the lions
whelps were made. They did not,
however, know it on the Continent,
though apparently they know it now.
For ourselves, we have little doubt
that the American feet could face
even that of France without any risk
OF disaster. No doubt by all the rules
the French feet is ten times as strong
as the American, and ought to be able
to eat 1t at one mouthtul. In spite
however, of that, we believe that if it
were needful-it will not be, as Amer
lea will not be attacked by France
without our taking a hand in the
game-Sampson and Dewey and the
officers they have the happiness to
command-to use Nelson's PHRASE
WYNN IN W ~ oCSkioS IISllCu SuipS |
OF vastly superior power, just as we
did a hundred years ago. The Ameri-
can gunrers would keep cool ard hit
every time. The French would get
excited, and fire too high or to low,
and loose all the advantage ofthe best
guns and best explosives in the
world. AS for the German and
American n%avies, there can, of course
be no comparison. The Germans are
fine sailors and brave men, but a
naval struggle between the United
States and Germany would be very
short and very complete. 1t would
surprise the Emperor, no doubt, who
thinks himself %invincible, but his
s~elf-confdence cannot alter history.
