THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE ON ADMIRAL
SAMPSON.

The lack of naval as well as popular enthu-
siasnl over the official report Of Bear Admiral
Sampson OF the three hours bombardment OF
San Juan is in marked contrast to the out
burst which greeted Admiral Dewey's modest
narrative OF his achievement at Cavite. The
Spanish flag still floats over every portion OF
Porto Rico and beyond the battsring down Of
the historic castle at the mouth of the harbor,
resulting, as Admiral Sampson reports, in
much dsmsgs incidentally to portion of
the city adjacent to the batteries" nothing
capable OF producing any satisfaction to the
United States was accomplished out OF the
tedious voyage of nearly q thousand miles
By the most formidable armoIclsts OF the
finest American squadron. To naVsl officers
the most humiliating part OF the affair IS dis
closed in the compete agreement of trust
worthy newspaper dispatches that Admirsl
Sampson not only failed to silence the bate
ries OF San Juan, but Withdrew in broad day

upon him The monitor Terror remained
hslf an hour after the other ships retired and
suffered no injury, the guns from her after
tuiIets continuing their discharges until their
prof cc;iles failed 10 reach land. This per-
Torrance is practically unprecedented 10
American naval annals and an official expla
nation is eagerly sought which may tend to
dispose OF our modification. 1t is we'll known
that the department had studiously RETAINED
from permitting Admiral Sampson to attack
Havana or any of the more formidable bate
ries on the Cuban coast, and it is certain that
this Injunction WAS fully enforced last week
when he was hurried from Key West in the
attempt to intercept the Spanish feet before
it entered San Juan.-IN. Y. Tribune 18th.

Riches Are Ours.

The New York journal, official or
gan of the present leaders Of the Dem
ocratic party, on Monday published
an article which leads off as follows:
"War leaves Uncle Sam wealthier
than before, War comes high yet
Uncle Sam is richer Total cost Of
war with Spain 1854, 1892, 227; present
good reserve October 81, 1889 $780,
T,46S highest previous gold bal
ance april 3, 1888 $2l9,O59, 1892"
The party which made Uncle Sam
richer than he was before the war, is
the Republican party. 1t is the party
under whose direction the manufac-
lures Of the country have grown in a
wonderful manner. 1t is the party
by whose policy our foreign COM
MERGE has expanded to such dimen-
sions that soon it will outrank that Of
any other nation. 1t is the party
which embodies American intelli-
gence, progress and thought. The
tribute paid to it by the leading Dem
ocratic free silverite organ is de-
served.
