VNOLE EXT OBEAR, assessor and
tax collector, Beverly, Mass, who has
passed the s0th life mile stone, says:
"Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine has lone a
great deal of good. Isuffered for years from
sleeplessness and nervous heart trouble.

The Line of Fire.

The remark attributed to Admiral
Dewey by q correspondent of The Lon
don Dahl Telegraph may be authentic
or may be apocryphal. We do not
know. 1t does not particularly matter.
What is certain is that it might well be
authentic, and it is characteristic and
significant. The Admiral is said to
have told Prince Henry of Prussia
presumably on a certain interesting &C.
casion at Hong Kong-that he would
be glad to see any German officers at
Manila, ''but it would be we'll to caution
them TO keep out of the American line
of fire." There are some grounds for
doubling whether he made such a re-
mark. But at least it sounds much
like him, and it is superbly expressive
of the American spirit in this war and
of the attitude of this Nation toward
all the world.
The interest of other nations in the
war, in both hemispheres, is not to be
denied. In a measure, every civilized
nation is interested in everything that
is done by or is done to every other
nation. The %hackneyed boast of P.
Terentius Varro is to be applied to
States as we'll as to individual men.
But hen our interests are supreme and
paramount above all others put to-
gether. 1t is our war, and no others;
and it is our wal with Spain, and with
no other. The line of fire is between
the United States and Spain, and no.
where else. 1t is earnestly desired
that it shall not be diverted els ewhither.
This country does not intend that it
shall be diverted. 1t does not mean to
divert it in order to attack any other
object. Neither does it mean to divert
it in order to avoid hitting any other
object that may be obtruded upon it.
Visitors are welcome. Spectators
are welcome. But they had best keep
out of the line of fire. If they want to
see how rapidly and straight Amer
leans car shoot they will find at one
side the best point of observation. 1t
would be awkward for them to get be-
tween the guns and the target. II they
have anything to say to us about the
war we shall listen to them in at least
as gracious a spirit as that in which
they speak. If they will speak to
Spain and persuade her to act nationally
they will be doing her and the world a
service. But let them keep out of our
line of fire. Our gunners will not stop
to listen to talk, nor change their aim
because some one gets between them
and the mark. The only thing that
will stop their firing is a flag of truce.
Until it is raised by Spain all men had
best keep out of the American line OF
fre.-New York Tribune.

lying further along the coast to the west
ward, was not in quite so bad a condition
as the Almirante Oquendo. She was bat
tered by shells and blackened by fire, but
her after military mast was still standing.
Her bridge, though much bent and twisted,
was recognizable as a bridge. Neverthe-
less, she was the first of the Spanish ships
to give up the fight and head for the shore.
She was still smouldering, and occasionally
cartridges would pop as though feebly en-
deavoring to continue the fight.
The wrecks of six vessels OF Cervera's
feet are strewn along the Cuban beach from
a point two miles distant from the entrance
to Santiago harbor to Tarquino Point, fifty
miles away. The Brooklyn and the Oregon
chased the cruiser Cristobal Colon to the
latter point, where they captured her, and
a prize crew was put on board. Before she
was boarded, however, the Spaniards had
opened all of the sea valves and thrown all
the caps of the valves overheard. The ship
was fast filling with water and sank rap
idly, and she finally careened over on her
beam ends, with her big runs pointing
toward the sky.
In the great sea fight of July 3 Spain lost
six ships, 800 men killed, 100 wounded, and
1900 prisoners. Our loss was one killed
and two wounded. None of our ships was
seriously hurt. Admiral Cervera, Vice.
Admiral Villamil, Captain Eulate, and the
other officers and men are held as prison.
ers. They were all transferred to the st.
Louis and sent to New York.
SPANISH
1t was learned from the prisoners how the
gunnery of the Americans had become more
and more fierce and deadly until the Span
ish crews deserted their guns, when they
were shot dow by their own officers. They
said that as the battle grew more and more
desperate the wines and liquors belonging
to the officers were handed out to the crews,
so that with drunken courage they would
keep up the hopeless fight. At last the
officers themselves gave up, and ordered
that the sea valves OF their ships be opened.
Then the ships were driven on the beach.
RKINA MERCEDES SUNK.
The destruction Of the Spanish cruiser
Reina Mercedes on Monday night accounts
for the last ship Of Admiral Cervera's once
splendid squadron. 1t is not known
whether she attempted to escape from the
harbor or whether the Spaniards tried to
