Don't BE Impatient.
From the London Times.


The impatience of the absence of news
which is characteristic of the present age
has beer manifested during the past
week. and II is interesting to contrast the
conditions at the beginning OF the century.
On April 8. 1905, Villeneuve passed the
Straits of Gibraltar and sailed from Cadiz
on his memorable cruise to the West
Indies on the following day. The vitality
i'm portant fact that the Toulon fleet had
reached the Atlantic was not known TO
Nelson till April 10, and he was unable TO
reach Gibraltar till May g. In this country
no news of the proceedings of the Franco
Spanish squadron had been received
late as May 81, and on the 18th Lord Rad
stock wrote to his son:
Where are you all this time? For that
is a point justly agitating this country
more than 1 can describe. The world is
at once anxious for news and dreading its
arrival.
On May IL Nelson weighed anchor in
Lagos bay for his long chase, and no GER
tain intelligence OF events reached the
admiralty till July o, when the news that
both squadrons were returning to Europe
an waters was brought by the brig
Curieux. On July 20 Nelson dropped
anchor at Gibraltar. Suspense In those
days must have been almost intolerable.
Now we resent the absence of immediate
news Of the proceedings of a squadron re-
ported to have left Cape Verde islands on
the 10Th ultimo. and interruption OF direct
communication with remote Manila creates
misgivings. The object lesson of the past
week is important.

Dash and Bravery of officers.

Washington, July 6.-Considerable
comment has been caused among the
officials of the war department by the
great loss of American officers in the
two days of fighting at Santiago. Of
fetal reports thus far received indicate
that So officers were either killed or
wounded, and the list is only partial.
Adjutant General Corbin said yester-
day that a finer lot of officers than was
with General Skaters corps in Cuba
never wore shoulder straps. They were
brave, aggressive and brilliant. Cen
eral Corbin did not forget the enlisted
.l1seu- IN his comment, saying that the
great majority of Skaters force was the
pick of the regular army, strong, reso-
lutte, admirably disciplined and thor
oughly enthusiastic and patriotic.
The heavy loss of officers is due to their
dash and bravery. Instance after in
stance has been disclosed of officers
springing in front of their commands
and leading them in brilliant sorties
against the enemy. Naturally the Span
ish sharpshooters singled out the Off
GERS as targets.

Consulted with His Officers.

Kingston, Jam, July 6.-Admiral Ger
vera held a consultation with his Off
GERS before sailing out of the harbor of
Santiago, and by a small majority the
move was agreed upon. The minority
said that destruction was sure, as many
of the firemen had mutinied and the best
men in the fleet were worn out by serV-
ing the guns in the shore batteries.
Early on the morning of the sortie care
full observations were made of the sea
east and west. Admiral Cervera de-
cided upon taking the westward course,
with Manzanillo Cienfuegos, or, if pos
sible, Havana, the port to be reached.
He would have gone east but for the
sighting of a large transport fleet Off
Siboney and the assurance that con-
voy of war vessels was still with the
transports.
AS matter of fact there is no war
vessel larger than a converted yacht
except the New York that could have
INSTRUCTED Admiral Cervera's escape
eastward. Naval men here are sure
that the Spanish vessels could have dis
abled or sunk the New York and es-
capped had the eastward course been
chosen.

Spaniards Left the Trenches
and Charged Calamity.

Heavy Fire Sent Them Back, With Con
siderable Loss - Terrible Execution
Wrought by the Americans Gatiings-
Recruits In a Baptism of Fire-Gen-
eraI Skaters Peremptory Demand For
the Surrender of Santiago.
Port Antonio, jam, July 6.-The Span
ish made a desperate attack upon our
left shortly before 10 o'clock Saturday
night. The assault was directed at the
position that had been carried by Cen
eral Kent's men. The Spaniards left
the trenches and charged across the
open, striking heavily upon General
Wykoff's brigade, consisting of the
Ninth, Thirteenth and Twenty fourth
infantry. They were reinforced by
heavy fire all along their line of guns
and batteries, and succeeded in driving
some of our men from the trenches; but
the heavy fire the Americans in turn
poured in staggered the Spanish line
and sent it Keeling backward with heavy
loss. The Americans had advanced
from the trenches for the first time;
and while the Spaniards were in the
open some of our gatlings on the extreme
left did terrible execution. The casual
ties among our men were not heavy.
General Hawkins was shot in the foot.
Over 200 additional wounded were taken
to the rear during the night, one batch
consisting of 12O.
Under General Skaters orders the
battle was reopened at O'Clock Sunday
morning along the whole line, the re-
cruits being ordered to the front Our
loss has now reached 1900 killed and
wounded. Part of the night attack was
directly opposite the station of the Third
and Sixth cavalry.
Captain Bowden of the Third cavalry
went with working party at a. m. to
straighten the line of entertainments
between General Chaffees brigade on
the right and General Kent's division
on the left, Whether there was an ac-
cident is unknown; but he clashed in
the dark with the Spanish, who were
advancing in front of the working
party and was obliged to retire. Rollo
of troop e was killed and Poole of troop
Il was wounded. The Spanish did not
advance close enough to draw the fire
OF the American main line. The action
lasted Is minutes and went on stimuli
taneously at other points on our front.
The Spanish loss could not be ascer-
tanned.
Shortly before noon Sunday, orders
were sent up and down our line to cease
firing; and at exactly IL o'clock a
flag of truce was raised above the rifle
trenches on San Juan hill. The Span
iards observed the flag, and a few mo-
ments later Colonel Dorst of General
Skaters staff conveyed across the dis
puted ground the following demand for
the surrender of the city to the command
Ing general of the Spanish forces: Sir

less you surrender I shall be obliged to

The Spanish admiral is prisoner or

Spanish officers and sailors, all who es-
caped the frightful carnage caused by
the shells from the American warships,
ARE held as prisoners of war by the
United States navy. The American vic
tory is complete, and, according to the
best information obtainable at this time,
the American vessels were practically
untouched and only one man was killed.
though the ships were subjected to the
heavy fire of the Spaniards all the time
the battle lasted.
Admiral Cervera made as gallant a
dash for liberty and for the preservation
of his ships Sunday as has ever occurred
in the history of naval warfare. In the
face of overwhelming odds, with moth
ing before him but inevitable destruc-
ton or surrender if he remained any
longer in the trap in which the American
fleet held him, he made bold dash from
the harbor at the time the Americans
least expected him to do so.
