Temperature Of Water and Evapora-
tion.-The temperature of the water at
fects the evaporation much more than
is usually realized. A shallow lake
evaporates faster than a deep one, be-
cause it's temperature is higher. Like
wise the evaporation from the shallow
parts Of a lake Is greater than from
the deep portions From lakes during
the summer months the evaporation
has been found to be as much as twice
that from the tanks, an increase Of
temperature of ten degrees, or enough
to change the temperature from 70 to
80 degrees, may be sufficient to double
the amount. Evaporation proceeds
from ice, but at diminished rate,

Was II Sampson or Schley?

There seems to be determined
effort on the part Of the war and navy
departments to put Sampson forward
and overshadow Commodore Schley,
but the facts show that Admiral Samp-
son was miles down the coast, just
landing in his launch for conference
with General Shafter when the cannon
aiding was heard between the Spanish
fleet and our own under direction Of
Commodore Schley, on the flagship
Brooklyn, which was in the thick Of
the fight throughout. and whose strate-
~ prevented the escape of the Cristo-
bal Colon. 1t was Commodore Schley
whose dash and daring compassed the
annihilation of the Spanish feet. and
Admiral Sampson was not in 1t, says
the Augusta Chronicle. 1t Is not our
purpose in saying this to take aught from
the honorable record OF ADMIRAL Sam
son. He is an houor to the navy and to
our government. Itis to careers like
this that we pointcur boys for lnsplra-
tionin this great Republican govern
ment SIMPSONS father was a poor
ltborer ut Elmira, \. Y, who was una
bic to rive his son educational advan-
tages. Friends, who noted tho bright
and ambitious nature of'the boy, pro-
cured him an appointment to Annapo-
lis and his ambition, pluck, character
and fidelity to duty have done the rest.
All honor to Sampson and men Of his
stripe. But the fortunes Of war, orthe
chances of life decreed that Samp-
son should not be at the
mouth Of Santiago harbor with his
flagship when Cervera made his reckless
dash for liberty. Just as fate decreed
that Ceyera's feet should sail to the
west where it encountered our whole
feet instead Of to the east where only
the New York was before it so fate or
Providence placed the command OF the
battle in Commodore Schley's hands
and not SIMPSONS. 1t is no robbery
ofSampson to give to Schley the honor
and credit which are his due. Leading
the chase and commanding a splendid
feet of battIeships he pounded the life
out of Cervera's squadron and Is entl-
tied to the credit OF the great victory.

BROOKLYN VS.. VJZCAYA.
The Spanish Cruisers Captain Tells
Story of Fight.

In speaking Of the battle of Santiago
in which the Spanish squadron was COM
pletely destroyed, Capt. Eulate, Of the
Nizcaya, said:
The entire squadron was ordered to
devote the fire of their guns to the
cruiser Brooklyn. because it was be-
lieved that she was the only ship in
the American squadron that could
overtake US. When we got out Of the
harbor my ship was second in line, and
saw Immediately that the flagship
Maria Teresa was getting l terrible bap-
tism of fire. 1t was frightful. The
Tx S and the Brooklyn was just rid

she was own fire. The Iowa and Ore
gon were firing on the Oquendo, and as
yet l had not been badly hit. The
Brooklyn was Il half mile closer to US
than any other ship. and determined
to try and ram her. so that the Colon
and Oqucndo could get away, and |
started for her. She was Il good mark.

she had evidently seen us, and very

lyn was beautiful. We opened 4 rapid
fire at her with all our big guns. but
she returned it with terrible effect.
The Oregon also hit us several
times. but the Brooklyns broadside
crashing into our supcrstructure slmp-
ly terrorized the men. We worked all
our guns at her at one time. and don t
see how she escaped US. She simply
drove us in to the shore, at one time
fighting US at l, JOG yards. One shell
went along the entire gun deck, killing
half the men on it and wounding nearly
all the rest. 4 shell from the Oregon
hit the superstructure, and it was then
that. wounded and knowing we could

BLANCO DESPERATE.
Frenzied by Cervera's Defeat He Tries
to Kill Himself

According to advices from Havana,
Governor-Gcncral Blanco attempted to
commit suicide when he learned beyond
doubt that Admiral Ccrvera squadron
had been annihilated Long before the
Spanish Admiral's dash out OF San
tiago harbor all Havana had been boast
ing of his ability to outwir the -Amcrl-
cans. and when misleading dispatches
gave the impression that he had eluded
the American feet the demonstrations
of Joy in the Cuban capital partook OF
the nature of u festival When the
true report of the defeat came it was
discredited until definite confirmation
from Madrid no longer left room for
hope. Gloom settled upon the city, all
gayeties were stopped and every public
and many private buildings were draped
with Grape. Blanco was in his palace
when intelligence reached him: and he
became almost frenzicd. He was cl os-
eted with his staff and General Arolas,
of the Spanish forces, discussing the
news. when he made the attempt on his
life. After struggle he was subdued
and disarmed: but the shock was so
severe that he was prostrated and COM
PEELED to keep his bed for several days.
When he arose his first order was to
prohibit any food supplies leaving Ha-
vana for interior towns, where the dis
tress is most poignant ard where many
are dying Of starvation daily. This and
other valuable information was brought
by Jose Pauline BIanco, who indignant
~ repudiatcd Il suggestion Of klnshlp
with the Governor-Gencral. He says
he is a loyal Cuban, and escaped to
avoid the'neccsSity Of fighting against
his own cause. as every male IN the
island who is able to bear arms is being
pressed into the Spanish service. He
obtained L fshcrman,s permit to go
outside Moro. and at 6 o, clock Monday
morning put off in small boat.

SPLENDID FIGHTING MEN.
a Foreigners Glowing Tribute to the
United States Army.

Major dc Grandprey. military attache
of the French embassy, has just returned
from the American headquarters near
Santiago, where he has been observing
for his government the progress OF mill
tary operations. He paid Il glowing
tribute to the fighting ability OF our
soldiers.
Il have the most complete admira-
ton for your men, said Major de
Grandprey to an Associated Press re-
porter today. They are superb
body, individually and as an army,
and | suppose not through the world
is there such 4 splendid lot of fighting
men. 1t is the fighting charac-
tcristic of men which is most ap-
parent. They are aggressive, eager for
action. never needing the voice Of al
officer to push them forward. Another
marked Characteristic is the sclf-rcllan
of each man-what we call the charac-
ter of initiative. 1t is almost unknown
in European armies, where every move
ment, and the move to meet each action
of the enemy, awaits the initiative OF
an officer. But with your men, they
fight to the front, meeting each emer-
gency as it arises, overcoming obstacles
by their own initiative Such selfreli-
ant fighting men make an exceptionally
impetuous army, for every unit contrl-
butes in their rcsistiblc onward move
ment. The Spanish troops do not have
this same Characteristic. They are
more passive, more cautious. Beside
the impctuosity of such fighting mate
rial. it has the effect Of inspiring u
moral among the troops, making them
feel that success is assured, and at the
same time carrying disorder and depres-
sion to the ranks Of the enemy.
Major dc Grandprey says the fight
ing about Santiago is something en-
tirely different from the warfare OF
European and other armies OF modern
times. The dense vegetation and
tangle of tropical vine makes it I'M
possible to observe the usual military
formations. As a result, there is lit
tie or no effort to fight in solid forma-
ton. Every man is fighting for him
self. pushing forward through the
shrubbery, vines and tall grass. 1t Is
impossible to see the enemy.
Major dc Grandprey also speaks
highly of the efficiency with which the
American troops and supplies were
started on their expedition and de-
barkcd in Cuba. This has come in for
considerable criticism in this coun-
try. but Major de Grandprey says that,
considering the brief time allowed for
cquipping the expedition, remarkable
results are secured. European mill
tary expeditions, such as those of Eng
land or France, to Africa or otherpointS,
he says are planned six months ahead.
which allows ample time for working
out the most minute details.

A SPANISH GENTLEMAN
That IS What Admiral CeTvera Has
Proven Himself to Be.

On the return Of the United States
cruiser Brooklyn to the Blockade OF,
Santiago de Cuba, on the evening OF
July ,, the Iowa reported to Commodore
Schlcy that ADMIRAL Cervcra. the com
mandcr of the Spanish feet was on
board Tie commodore ut once went
over to pay his respects. The Spanish
admiral was much cast down by his de
feat. but preserved i dignitied and cour-
tcous dcmcanor notwithstanding. He
said he deeply appreciated the fact that
the men OF the Brooklyn did not eXult
by cheering when it was learned that he
WAS :; prisoner on the Iowa He re-
piled InrcSponSc To- Commodore Schlcy
remark that il WAS the fortune OF war:
Yes. but vc lost my career now that
I've been defeated. Commodore Schlcy
however, told him that such Il brave
deed as bringing on; his squadron could
never be looked upon otherwise than rs
most gallant feat. upon which Ad-
miral Ccrvcra threw his arms around
the commodore and said: 'Ah. sailors
always are gentlemen lie then said
he thought his dead would number
probably 80. though he could not tel!
definitely.
He spoke of the accuracy and dead
lines Of the Brooklyns fire, saying that
in the early part of the action one of
her shells had travcrscd the entire length
of the gun deck. killing and wounding
probably 50 men. On the Eizcayaalone
there were llO men killed. Admiral
Cervcra said he feared the losses Nigh:
be greater than he anticipated. for
many men were below the protected
decks. and when the ships were on fire
it must have been difficult for them tc
escape. He added that all his captains
had becd killed or wounded: but later,
it was found that the captain of the
Cristobal Colon was saved. Admiral
Cervcra said he had no doubt that at
least three Of the ships would have
gotten away had it not been for the
Brooklyn. the Oregon and the Texas.

He Was a Smooth Article.

story Of Il pseudo-wcalthy Mexican who
was lionizcd for six weeks at Madrid and
Cadiz. where he dined with Admiral
Camara, who inspected the feet and
the dcfcnScs and in every way won the
confidence of the officials, only to dis
appair the moment awarrcntwas issued
for his arrest. lie turned up afterward
in Tan@icr and confessed to the cores
pondent of the Daily News that his
name was Fernsandcz and that he was 4
captain in the Second Texas Rangers.

The Spanish Navy.

The .Atlanta journal very truly says
the Spanish navy as it was before the
war began. and as ii is now. presents
striking example Of before and after
taking. Our navy has. up to date de-
stroycd the following Spanish war vcs-
sells:
Ihearmored cruiser Almirantc OqueE-
do. Displacement 1000 tons, arma-
mcut two ll-inch rifles. ten 5 y inch
guns. sixtorpedo tubes.
The Infanta Maria Teresa, armored
cruiser. Displacement 900 tons arm
arncnt tvs ll-inch rifles, ten 5 IL inch
guns, six torpedo tubes.
The Yizcaya, armored cruiser. Dis
placement 1000 tons. Same size and
number Of guns and torpedo tubes as
foregoing.
The Cristobal Colon. armored cruis-
er. Displacement 1000 tons, arma-
ment two 10-inch rifles. ten 6-inch rapid
fire, six 4-inch. ten 2!!-inch, ten a
inch. two machine guns and four tubes.
The following named cruisers: Relna
Mercedes. Don Juan de Austria, Relna
Maria Christina, Don Antonio del
Ulloa. Isla de Mindano. Marques del
Duero. and CASTILLO. Torpedo destroy
crs: Furor, Pluton and Terror (the
latter damaged butno totally destroy
ed. Gunboats: General Lezo, Isla
de Luzon. Fl Cano, Leyet and several
smaller cunbcats. One troop ship and
ten torpedo boats. Besides we have
captured large number Of prize ships
Nearly / 500 Spaniards lost their livcS
at Manila and fully 1,200 in the sea
fight at Santiago, besides the thousands
who we're killed by our troops on land.
Spain has been almost swept off the sea.
The old warship Victoria is not fit for
sea nor is the antiQuated warship Nu-
mancia. The Catalina is not finished,
and the Cardinal Cisneros will not be
ready for months to come. though 1t was
launched two months ago. The Pelayo
and the Carlos V, when they reached
Port Said recently, were described as
being in a state Of scandalous disre-
pair. The Alfonso XIII, and the
Lcpanto are unseaworthy. Spain has
a few smaller cruisers, but they are not
worth taking into the accoont. She
has left nothing that is worthy Of being
called navy.
Why Spain insists on continuing the
war is mystery She is impotent,
and can only add to the misery Of her
condition by prolonging hostilitias.

A Death Dealing Shower.

Some idea of the awful rain Of shells
poured into the doomed Spanish squad
ron on the morning of July 3, by the
pursuing American battlcships may be
gained from the number of shots fired
from the battleship Oregon. From the
time when Private O'Shay Of the bat
tlcship Oregon fired the first shot from
her forward 6-poundcr, until the Cristo-
bal Colon turned toward the shore. the
Oregon fired LIS shells Of these
LOO We're from her 6-poundcrS. The
biz 13-inch guns We're fired 81 times,
the S-inch guns 2S times and the o.
inch ~ times. The 1-poundcrS We're
fired 20 times. The destruction caused
by some Of the shots was fearful. One
S-inch shell which penetrate! the 'u1ret
OF the .Almirantc Oqucndo exploded
and killed every person inside blowing
some to pieces.

The Pension Law.

1t is an erroneous idea that 4 special
law will have to be passed to pension
the new veterans of the SpanishAmeri-
can war. The pension Office is already
at work upon cases growing out Of this
struggle. He who leaves both his han IS

duty-willenjoy an allowance Of 500
a month. in addition to other perquisites
allowed by the government. The same
