The movement OF tho troops to tho ron.

The sensational correspondents have
repeatedly reported General Alser as
being greatly ungered over the alleged
delays. andupon these statements manr
OF the criticisms have been based.
The official utterance Of the secretary
that "ln no case has unnecessary delay
been reported" should nall this false.
hood that has been harpcd upon 60 lnos
by the newspapers that are maliclously
attempting TO prejudice the public
against the administration.
When the situation OF this country
two months ago with regard to prepara-
ton for war with foreign country, the
scenes OF which are on opposite sides
of the globe. and in tropical countries,
Is considered, the malice and
injustice OF the criticisms tl,at are being
made on the unsupported statements OF
irresponsible newspaper correspondents,
are brought out all the more clear. and
to the discned!t Of American journalism.

In connection with the accounts OF the
heroic act performed by Lieutenant
Hobson and hts famous little crew Of
volunteers, something Of his private life,
throwing light upon the brave young
officers character. Is being detailed,
which We commend to our readers. II
will be found IN another column. It is
simple story but one which Will raise
him still higher In the estimation Of the
country. Itsexplains why It is that the
splendid display OF courage, and the
GOODNESS and the elaboration with which
he took his own life In his hands, are
appreciated at his Alabama home, not
alone for the patriotic bravery display
ed, but also because OF the reputation
he had won for himself among the
friends Of his youth as young man of
exemplary character.
Z The act of President Mckinley in
wiring his congratulations to the mother
Of Lieutenat Hobson brought out the
fact that during his career at Annapo-
lis the keeping of q sacred promise to her
had won for him the sneers Of many OF
his companions. who had named him.
in derislon, "Parson" Hobson, and dis
counted the earnestness, Ut his purpose
to lead derout religious life. II Is re-
lated that often through his career at
Annapolis he followed those duties en-
Joined upon llim"by his mother amidthe
"jeers OF his schoolmates." Possibly
they thought that SO modest and I'M
assuming young man; one who looked
with horror on the dissipadons ofothers
and refused to Join in them. did not
have the requirements for the career
which he had marked out for himself.
There wasn't enough dash and reckless
ness about him. He should have remain
ed at home, and instead OF making
warrior out Of himself should have fit
ted himself for a country preacher down
in Alabama. In the naval academy ne
was out Of place: he should have been
at theological college, they thought.
Now, when "Parsun" Hobson, at the
very beginning of his career, has, by O
single heroic deed. won tho plaudits of
the whole civilized world, has received
the thanks Of the head OF great nation,
has called forth the admiration of the
commander OF hostile naval fleet.
