Our SchIey Nnnalean

In the absence of reliable information
TO the contrary, we are bound to believe
that Schley has got Cervera bottled up
and corked down In the harbor of San
tiago. The fact that the Naval War
Board--lately 'Strategic"-is convinced
of this may tend to discredit the ids a, but
that should not operate upon weil-regu-
lated minds The consensus of opinion
of the press of the country is that the
Spaniards are really bottled. and hence
II is excusable il We assume that il is
really SO.
Upon that hypothesis, while our Ma
poleon Of the salt seas is attending to
the Spanish armada, with his cable
properly cut behind him, 1t Is timely to
consider what else we should do in pros
ecution of our pacific blockade against
Cuba. Manifestly it would be improper
to impose cruel and unusual punish
ment upon Gen. Blanco by cutting off
his means Of communication with Spain
and the world generally, and it appears
that We have not done SO. How could
the captain general have received the
congratulations OF the Spanish govern
ment on the occasion of the Kings
twelfth birthday If the cables We're not
open? How could Cervera, during the
past three weeks. have known all about
our naval movements, while we were in
blissful ignorance of his, if We had not
been kind enough 10 allow telegraphic
facilities to Cuba and Porto Rico?
They seem to be all in working order
Blanco is still in a position 10 talk with
the West Indies and all Europe. The
only single man who is cut off is Schley
No doubt that is to his credit. If Dewey
had not been cut off. the Philippines
would not have been an American pos
session.
From these things il would seem that
the price of American glory is cable

Equipment VS.. Manhood.

In all modern wars there has been
much talk about the Importance of
modern guns and modern equipments,
but the fact still remains that the most
| important part Of the Army is the man
behind the gun. Napoleon once had a
specimen American rifle sent him, so
| that he could examine it and see what
there was about an American that
made him shoot so straight. II is prob
able that he never found out.
1t is no more true now that the man
with the best gun invariably wins than
it was true in other days that the
heaviest battalions were always vic
torious. In modern warfare many dis
similar things must be taken into con-
Eideration, and any man who thinks
that civilian can conduct a campaign
with no previous experience. simply by
virtue Of the fact that his equipments
are all right, is very sadly mistaken.
The most important part Of any soldiers s
equipment is carried in the top of his
skull. And II this is true of a private
soldier it is even more emphatically
true of his commanding officer.
1t should not be supposed, either, that
a man who went through the civil war
as a private, or even an officer Of volun-
teers, nearly forty years ago, is by vir-
tue of that experience fitted for the
highest positions of the service today.
Most men who took part in the war of
'61 as private soldiers were hardly more
than boys. Here and there is one who,
in early youth, gave proof of military
talent such as warranted even then his
elevation to a high position. But the
ordinary veteran Of the civil war now
young enough to enter the service, was
only a boy when he had his last fight
ing experience, and has been engaged
in peaceful occupations ever since.
he has had has been gained in business.
To consider that man capable of plan
ming campaign is almost as great
mistake, in most cases, as to consider
an admiral of the Navy competent to
manage a shoe factory. Generally
speaking, the best men for the respon-
sible positions Of the Army are men

The idea Of the President in passing

tons youths in no way qualified to fill

man would be a good man anywhere.
Undoubtedly he will, and there are peo-

Torpedo Crew. Are Heroes.

(From the New York Journal OF Commerce.)
Torpedo boats are terrible in offense,
but powerless in defense. This will be
realized more fully than now before the
end of the war. The incident of the Wins
low shows how helpless torpedo boat
is when an enemy gains a fair chance to
make her target. Torpedo boat sery-
ice is the most dangerous in the navy,
especially in accommodating duty up shall
low harbows. The temptation is strong
TO use torpedo boats in shoal water, where
they can accomplish work that gunboats
cannot do. With all this understood
young naval officers prefer torpedo boat
service TO any other. Any young lieu
tenant would rather command a 20O-ton
torpedo boat and take his chance of the
fate of Ensign Bagley than be execu-
tive officer of a l2,000-ton battleship. The
race of heroes is not extinct.
