Nasty Talk in the Senate.

The other day we took occasion to ia =
nexation treaty in executive rather
than in open session of the Senate.
Readers will remember the reasons as
signed were that it might strain our
international relations to present pub
lcly the evidences of foreign plots and
preparations to seize the islands, and
that the anxiety of all enemies to the
measure for open doors, on this very
account, made it highly proper to shut
them.
We have another reason for fearing
that the doors not only should be
closed, but the Ieakages stopped. If the
reports of colIoquy between Senators
Tillman and Mason, in executive ses-
sion on Thursday, are to be credited,
the Senate is in danger of losing what
ever respect for its supposed dignity
and propriety may still be extant
among the citizens of this country. II
there is not another way to avoid the
recurrence of such an incident perhaps
it would be better to abolish the gal
leries altogether. and thus attempt to
save the nation from the disgust and
shame which such passages at arms be-
tween statesmen necessarily infiict.
We will not quote the language used
on the occasion referred TO. 1t may be
tolerated in the American Senate. The
public would not tolerate it on the
hustings.

COMMENTS ON THE BATTLE
English Papers Describe the Conflict.
An Inspiring Sight

LONDON, June 13.-(By the Associated
Press) English newspapers, in comment
ing on the battle of Santiago, say that MORO
castle and the Estrella battery were both
set afire by the American shells and that
the Spanish Notifications were immensely
damaged These versions say that the
Massachusetts and the Suwanee were some
what injured by shells.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
says: 1.-THE spectacle was one of awe-in-
spring grandeur. Nobody who saw 1t
could ever forget it. The lightning flashed
and the thunder doomed, drowning the roar
of the guns, while a tropical rain poured
throughout a perfect deluge. The Spanish
shooting was better than the American.
The sunken collier Merrimac does net
block the entrance to the channel Admiral
Sampson intends to try to force the en-
trance when the troops arrive. He expects
to lose ship or two but Is convinced that
he will succeed"
The Daily Chronicles correspondent says:
at is surprising that the American losses
were so small, as the engagement was very
severe. Altogether the bombardment might
fairly be claimed by the Spaniards as a
victory, for, after three hours firing by the
pick of the American fleet, SPANS coors
were still floating
