BOTTLED I'D.

There appears to be no doubt that the
Spanish squadron is bottled up at Santa
go. The navy department advices are to
that effect. The statement is made that
Commodore schley's feet is at the mouth
of the harbor of Santiago and that Ad-
miral SIMPSONS fleet is near by.
Why Admiral Cervera should have cross
ed the ocean to have his fleet shut in San
tiago harbor is a question which nobody
seems able TO answer. The Secretary Of
the Navy is said to have expressed the
opinion that the Spanish admiral stopped
at Santiago to get coal, with the expecta-
ton Of getting out again before the Amer
lean warships could reach that port. That
may be correct opinion, though, if it is,
it does not seem as if the Spanish admi-
raj gave our naval authorities credit for
much shrewdness. Did he think he could
run in and out Of Cuban ports at pleasure
without being caught?
1t may be that il was understood that
if he found himself hard pressed by the
American fleet he was to enter Santiago
with the hope of drawing the larger YES
sells Of our navy away from Havana, 50
that a second Spanish squadron with
ships carrying ammunition and provis-
ions could force its way into that port.
However, it is probable that our naval
strategy board has thought of every pos
sible situation, and has guarded against
surprises.
1t would, of course, be a difficult task
to destroy the Spanish fleet as long as 1t
remains in the harbor of Santiago. The
harbor is four miles long, and
is, it is believed, well defend
cd by mines and land fortifca-
tons Still, our fleet will leave no means
untried to reach and destroy the Spanish
ships. If it should succeed in doing so,
it IS probable that pressure would be
brought to bear upon Spain 20 compel her
to abandon Cuba, and thus bring the war
to an end. The outcome of the situation
at Santiago will, therefore, be watched
with deep interest.

Fc,cr Proof Soldiers.

The idea that was thrown out some
weeks ago, that it would be advisable 10
raise a number of regiments of immunes
for service in Cuba, has been thrust to
the front again by some well meaning
gentlemen who want to be colonies, lieu
tenant colonies and majors. Having failed
to get into prominent military POSITIONS
In any of the regiments which have thus
far been raised they think they can get
what they want by means of this immune
humbug.
There are. of course, great many peo-
pie in this state and in Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi and Texas who have had the
yellow fever. but there are very few of
them who could stand the examination to
which recruits are subjected. There are
more immunes in Louisiana than in any
other state, but the number there that
would be accepted as soldiers must be
comparatively small.
It must not be forgotten that there has
been no epidemic of yellow fever of con-
sequence in this country since 1S7S-twenty
years ago. It has been twenty-five years
since Savannah had an epidemic of that
disease, though Brunswick and Jackson
Vile have each had mild epidemic with
in the last ten years. It can readily be
underst stood therefore, that when you take
from the list of immunes all of those who
have passed the age Of 45 years and all
others who. for other reasons. are dis
qualified from becoming soldiers, together
with those who do not desire to enlist,
the number left is so small as to be hardly
worth noticing 1t Is probable that regi-
ment of genuine immunes could be OBJ
tanned in Louisiana. but it is very doubt
full if one could be obtained in all the
other states.
If Immune regiments arc formed they
will not contain a great. many immunes
They viii get along just about as well
probably as if they contained only i'm
munes. The yellow fever is not the only
disease in Cuba. In fact not much at
tention is paid to that fever in the nigh
lands of Cuba, away from the coast towns.
But there are malarial fevers all OYER the
island, and smallpox and dysentery and
other complaints which are about as much
to be dreaded as the mild kind of yellow
fever. Therefore, a soldier who is not an
lliiiuHt StdHuS pretty nearly hS BOOQ q
chance of keeping out of the hospital as
one who is
Another humbug that is beginning to as
sumo proportions is that a large number
of negro regiments should be enlisted for
service in Cuba because the negroes are
yellow fever proof. Let the colored folks
have chance to go TO Cuba if they want
to by all means, but 1t should not be with
the idea that they are yellow fever i'm
munes. In all the yellow fever epidemics
of recent years negroes were victims of
the disease as well as white people. They
enjoyed no immunity from it. Still. it is
probable that they would stand the Iii
mate of Cuba better than white soldiers
For the invasion of Cuba we want a
thoroughly equipped and well disciplined
army composed of infantry, cavalry and
artillery regiments We don't want regi-
ments known as immunes or rough rid ars
or as anything that is unknown in. the
regular army. We don't want any cir
Gus attachment to the volunteers.

1t Doesn't Pay.

The accident which occurred on the
Florida Central and Peninsular Rail
road on Monday demonstrated what
been demonstrated many times in
other parts of the country, name
", that it is bad policy, from every point
of view, TO keep men, who fill RESPONSE
BILE positions, employed longer than eight,
or, at most, ten hours out of the twenty
four. The testimony taken at the inquest
shows that those responsible for the ac-
cident had been on duty continuously four
fore, that they were asleep when they
should have been wide awake and alert
They were worn out by their long watch
and were not in a fit condition to proper
ly discharge the duties of their respective
positions.
We are not prepared to say that the
fourteen hours of continuous duty could
have been avoided in the
case under, consideration. We
are not sufficiently acquaint-
ed with the facts to express IAN opinion
on that point, but We do know that rail-
road which keeps its conductors, engineers
and firemen on duty over ten hours on a
stretch runs a great risk of meeting with
accidents. Under excitement, and on spe-
cial occasions, men can keep awake much
longer than when discharging in a hum
drum sort of way, their ordinary duties,
but it doesn't pay a railroad ever to keep
its employees on duty for a greater length
of time than their minds will respond
promptly to their Wills When an engineer
or conductor finds it difficult to keep his
eyes open and his mind on his work. he
is not fit to discharge the trust conided to
him. He viii fail to see and hear signals
and will fail TO comply with his instruc-
tons. 1t doesn't pay a railroad, therefore.
to permit its employees TO have charge of
the running of a train TOO many hours at
a time.
