OUR NAVAL STRATEGY.

Judging from accomplished results and
movements now in progress the direction of
Cur naval operations. seems to be in very
capable hands. We refer to the direction al
Washington, for it does not need to be said
that our naval officers in active service,
those in command of squadrons and ships,
are the peers of any in the world. The
management at Washington, where the
movements planned and from whence
all general orders must necessarily come is
in the hands of board of strategy COM
posed of competent naval and military men.
1t is understood that the operations of the
naval and land forces are directed sepa-
rately, but in such way as to make them
cooperative and harmonious. The principal
work thus far has been done by the navy,
and it is that to which attention is now
called
With the certainty that the war would be
chiefly on the sea ii was apparent at the
beginning that the duty OF the navy would
be to protect our coast or be in position
to furnish relief at any point that might
be threatened; to blockade the enemy's
ports, especially Havana; to engage the
enemy's ships wherever they might be
found, and to assist in the capture of their
island possessions Some of these objects
have been accomplished. others are in fair
way to be accomplished, and the steps by
which the results have been attained have
followed in rapid succession. indicative of
intelligent direction. The President sent his
ultimatum to Spain on April 20; Minister
Woodford received his passports April q;
on the 22d the North Atlantic squadron
blochaded Havana; on the Path war was
declared beginning on the 2lst; on the 9th

and probably the city itself The blockad-
ing fleet has captured nearly score of
Spanish ships. and a portion of the squad
ron is now steaming for some unknown des-
tination on an important mission. Spanish
naval power in the Pacific has been de-
stroyed. American shipping and commerce
in Asiatic waters are safe, our Pacific
coast is secure, and fast cruisers are scout
ing far out in the Atlantic in the hope Of
locating the Cape Verde fleet, which, when
found, will be attacked. All this shows
good naval strategy. excellent management
and swift action. The movements are evil
IDENTIFY part of general plan in which the
entire force of the navy is being effectively
utilized to common end. Whatever Com
modore Dewey's orders were he was able
to carry them out because he had
been previously fully supplied with
ammunition and coal by the buy
ing up of all that was in Hong
Kong. Such details as these show executive
ability. and the results already accom-
plished by the navy and the present situa-
ton show that the board of naval strategy
at Washington has worked to good pur-
pose. Captain Mahan, one of the highest
naval authorities in the world, is now a
member of the board. In his book OH sea
power he says: Destroy the enemys sea
force, and then you are master on land and
sea- That would certainly be the case SO
far as the objects of this war are concerned.
With her naval power destroyed on the At
lantic ocean as it has been the Pacific,
Spain can be starved out or driven out of
Cuba and Porto Rico at our leisure. The
objective point of Grant in the Wilderness
campaign was not Richmond, but Lees
army. Grant never thought as much of
capturing places as he did of fighting and
smashing the enemy That should be and
seems to be the object of our naval STRAIT
egg. The capture of Havana and the occu-
patton of Cuba are of far less Importance
than the destruction of Spanish naval
power in the Atlantic. That done the rest
will quickly follow.

TWO SISTERS DISAGREE.

Possession of Their Father.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. May GA strug-

Sutro, millionaire and ex-mayor of San
Francisco, has taken place at Sutro Heights
Dr. Emma Merritt, the legal guardian of
the personal estate of her father, removed
him in ambulance from the family home
stead to her new home on the corner of
Vanness avenue and Sutro street She was
fiercely resisted by Miss Clara Sutro. her
sister who created wild scene at his home.
Miss Sutro asserts that DR.. Merritt kid
mapped her father. who i'm his present feeble
state is unable TO make any resistance.
Dr. Merritt replied that she has simply
acted for the best interests of her father
and that, as his legal guardian, she is en-
titled to the custody of his person. Her
reasons for removing him from the old
homestead was that she might have him
at her home. where he would receive more
careful treatment. and with her he would be
under constant supervision.

The capture of the French steamer Lafay-
cite, yesterday, was the first that has been
made of any but Spanish ships since the
Havana blockade was established. The cap
ture was the result of failure to deliver
orders sent to Admiral Sampson. and when
the facts were made known at Washington
the immediate release of the vessel was or
dered and Commodore Watson was in
structed to escort the Lafayette TO Havana.
The incident is regrettable. but the prompt
release of the steamer and the apology
which will doubtless be made Immediately
by our government ought to and probably
viii placate any feeling of offense that the
seizure may have aroused in France.

The extraordinary rise of 20 cents in the
price of wheat on Thursday was due to the
increasing evidence of short supplies abroad
and to the information that the French gov
eminent had removed its import duty of SO
cents per bushel on wheat, during May and
June. It is said that France has not more
than three weeks supply of wheat, and
that she requires about 100000 bushels a
week for consumption. Her home supply be-
Ing so nearly exhausted, she is dependent
on other countries. chiefly the United States
for her supply. Two or three other European
countries had already removed the import
duty on wheat and now it is a fight among
them as 10 which will get the lions share

Examining Surgeons Proceed with
Duties-List of Those Accepted.
Immediately after mess yesterday morn
ing the second days work of examining the
soldiers at Camp Mount preparatory to
mastering them into the federal service be-

the different regiments separately and by
physicians other than those on the staff of
the particular regiment being examined.
This precaution was deemed necessary in
order to prevent partially that might be
shown. The reports when taken to Capt.
Mays office, We're examined and handed
over to Captain Wakemen for inspection
and he made many mark to show that
certain men accepted by the regimental sur
geons were not acceptable to him because
of certain physical defects. most frequently
in the way of insufficient chest expension.
1t is for this reason that many of the boys,
elated when they were told by the examin-
ing physicians that they had been accepted.
will find when the reports are returned to
the physicians for correction that DR..
Wakeman thinks them not fit for
service. In many cases Captain Wake
man himself will re-examine the men
and in some instances. TO doubt, men that
he had thought from the reports had been

by the captain himself, but not for several
days will it be possible to give out an ac-
curate list, even of the men examined on
the first day. Following is list OF men so
far accepted by the regimental surgeons:

The suggestion that Commodore Dewey
had the cable cut in order not to hear what
the yellow newspapers were saying about
him, or TO avoid reading the glowing but
detailless account the British consul gave
of the victory, printed in the indianapolis

prove correct. Dewey has the modesty that
ever accompanies true greatness, and he
may have known what a gushing fellow
that ''British consult was.
