The Aoe-HeraId at the Front.

Although The Age-Herald gets the full report of the Associated Press ard the full special cable service of the New York Jour- nars brilliant corps of correspondents, 1t has determined 10 go step further and supply it's readers with the most complete reports of any newspaper in the land. TO do this, MT. sewell Haggard, the brilliant young news editor of The Age-Herald, has been sent to the front. He joined the Ala bama troops at Miami yesterday and will sail with them on a transport this week. going first to Santiago, perhaps, and then to Porto Rico. MT. Haggard will follow the Alabama troops wherever they go, having special permission from the war department to go with the commanding general of the hrioade to which these troops will be at- tached. Special arrangements have been made for dispatch boat to bear MT flag garYs dispatches to Kingston or the near act cable station for transmission to The Age-Herald. Indeed, The Age-Herald has determined to be first in the news of what the Alabama troops do in the war, as 1t has been first in all the war and other news up to date.

The New Eastern Squadron.

Now that Cerveras cruisers are being pounded to pieces by Caribbean seas, the organization and even augmentation or Commodore Watson's fleet can proceed apace. The chief concern of the war will perhaps be transferred from Dewey ana schley and Sampson and Shafter to Wat son.
 He is to have the two fastest battlesnlps of the American navy, the Iowa and the Oregon. The Iowa has 14-inch armor on her sides, and 15-ineh armor on her turrets. She carries four 12-inch, eight S-inch, six finch and twenty-eight smaller guns. The Oregons sides are covered with eighteen inches of armor, and she has four 1S-inch, eight s-inch, four 6-inch, and thirty smaller guns. The British navy may have pair of vessels to match these two, but no other navy in the world has pair that can fight them down. Heavily armored as they are, and loaded down with great guns they are perhaps the fastest battleships in the world. It is a magnificent pair. Bob Evans con- mands the Iowa, and Captain Clark, who made the II OOO-mile trip, the Oregon. With them to Spain will go the protected cruiser Newark and the auxiliary cruisers Dixie, Yankee and Yosemite These auxiliary cruisers were Morgan liners, but they now carry 6-inch and many smaller guns, and are in truth fighting ships. Three colliers are to go along, carrying 13,294 tons of coal. All the vessels, including the colliers, are fast, and there will be no trouble in coal ing either at Ceuta, or near one of the Ba- learic islands
 Spain has any vessels that can whip Wat sons fleet as now planned without increase of any kind. they will after trial, experi- ence a sharp disappointment. Camara's two fighting ships, and the odd or unfin- ished lot Spain has at home, will never meet Watson in the open sea outside of the range of land guns. Except the Pelayo now in or near the Suez canal, none of them have heavy guns, and none are heav- ily armored. The Peayo is believed to be very clumsy in a seaway-in fact, some naval critics consider her unseaworthy. But whether she is or not Watson will be ready to meet her. and all the other vessels that Spain can muster. His chief trouble will consist. as Schleys and Sampson's did, in finding Spanish ships in open water.

not one dollar of the sum would have been collected if the tax reform acts had not been passed.
 Governor Johnston did. it is true, rec bmmend and urge the adoption of the new tax laws; and if the Tribune can name one man, giving time. place and circumstance. who has been compelled under those laws to pay a cent that was not justly and fairly due the treasury, then The Age-Herald will concede that it has scored a point. But until it does this, it must excuse the charge that it is dealing in generalities which read fly degenerate into indlscriminate abuse When the democratic nominee is charged with the commission or omission of some particular act, the Tribune or any other party will find The Age-Herald ready with either admission or defense; but life is too short and too busy for the combating of vague generalites.

that in this respect this country is as su- perior as it was in 1912. There has in fact never been a time in the history of the country when excellence in gunnery was not marked feature of the American navy. The Germans will study the battle of Santiago as no one else will, and they will probably conclude that they have no desire to become targets for American gunners. "The man behind the gum is the chief and best hero of the war. He is the fleet smasher, the real peacemaker, the pride and reliance of the nation.

Specifications Lacking.

The Huntsville Tribune, in attempting to answer The Age-Herald's demand for spec ification of charges against the state admin istratlon, says
 Our contemporary has short memory. Has 1t forgotten so soon the hue ana cry raised all over the state about the back tax law. the general indictment against the in tegrity of the people, the appointment of special commissioners to hound down tax payers and the arbitrary rule of increasing taxes? We refer The Age-Herald to the columns of the Montgomery Advertiser and dozens of other democratic papers as 10 the truthfulness of charges. We think It will honorably retract what it says when it stops and thinks.
 Governor Johnston has challenged any one to establish in the states affairs an in- stance of the waste of dollar of the peo- ple's money, or of the violation of a law, or of the abuse of a trust of any sort. The Tribune does not meet the challenge in any respect. It deals in glitterdng generalities. It evades the challenge altogether. It goes outside the challenge and makes a vague attack upon the tax commission acts. .Siml- lar attacks have been made in the past, but whenever they have been traced to original sources, it has been seen that they came from men who had been evading their just share of the public burden. The tax reform acts carry their own defense in the results of their operations. They have al- ready put s1SO,OOO into the state and county treasuries. And not one dollar of this sum was levied in an unjust or unfair manner. Every dollar of It was due the people, but

American Gunnery Skill.

/-Speed counted for much at Santiago, and gun power, both at Manila and Santiago, had much to do with the smashings that occurred; but when the two significant bat ties are carefully considered it will be found that accuracy of aim was, after all, an essential feature of the business. The man behind the gun is still the controlling factor in naval warfare, and armor and turrets and electrical appliances and all other changes of the last quarter of the century, have not shelved him. England learned in two wars how straight and true Americans could shoot, and the present war is teaching, not only Spain, but all the rest of the world that marksmanship is closely studied in this country.
 The terrible execution of American guns at Manila and Santiago is in striking con- trast with the want of execution of Span ish guns at those places. Admiral Dewey has said that enough metal was thrown at Manila to have sunk his unarmored ships if it had been properly fired. The Spanish batteries were ineffective because there were Spanards behind the guns. Many of the guns were of the latest construction, especially on Montejo's ships, but the dam- age they did was almost nil. So it was at Santiago. The Spaniard is not an ex- pert gunner, either in Moro Castle or in a running fight. The slaughter in the Span- ish cruisers was terrible, but the Spanish guns killed but one man in the American ships.
 The gunnery of American sailors is the result of persistent and expensive target practice, and the belief is gaining ground

ANNEXATION WINS.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
 This ends practically @ controversy which in it's acute form is five years and a half old. It is settled for the advantage, profit and peace of the United States. The op- ponents of annexation had no logical ground to rest their claim. It was ad- mitted that we ought to have at least a coaling station on the islands, and that we ought not to allow them to fall into the hands of any other power. Between talk jug part of the islands and the whole of their relatively small area there was no diffrence in principle and not much in sub stance. Neither is there much merit in this countrys assuming all the burdens Of keeping off trespassers from the islands

Cervera's Campaign.

The naval critics will discuss through years to come Cervera's strategy from the time he left the Cape Verde islands to the Sunday morning when Schley sent his en- tire fleet to the bottom of the Caribbean sea. thus destroying at one blow Spain's effective naval strength It was a fine fleet, and Admiral Cervera is considered a Admiral Colcomb-the Mahan of the Brit ish navy-thinks that, instead of wander ing about the Caribbean sea he should on May Is, with the destroyers in tow, have struck sudden blow at Key West and on the following day, he should have attacked the inferior squadron blockading Havana Sampson being at San Juan with the best ships of the fleet-and then Cervera could get ready "to issue again as soon as op- portunity offered, or to harass or even drive off the American squadron attempt ing to blockade by persistent torpedo att tacks at night. If, owing to the inherent difficulties of blockading such a port as Havana, the Spanish squadron should have certain freedom of exit 1t might, sup ported by the possibility of another squad- ron arriving from Cadz paralyze for an almost indefinite time further operations by the Americans in the way of invasion"
 This plan doubtless was entertained, but the difficulties of coaling and the presence nf Sol itc m May 20 Cervera slipped into Santiago har- bor, where he remained until last Sunday, giving in the meanwhile material as- sistance to the Spanish army.
 Whether Cervera did all he could do be- fore entering Santiago harbor Is a disputed question. He certainly did in the harbor all that any man in his place could do, and he left the harbor last Sunday under an order from Captain-General Blanco, .who has command of all naval and mili- tary forces of Spain in the West Indies. The order was obeyed, as such orders must be. It was Blanco's movement, not Ger yera's But did Cervera conduct the move- ment properly? Should he have come out and fought without fleeing? Shold he have sailed to the east instead of the west, in case he decided to primarily fly? Here the critics disagree again. Some hold that he should have avoided the batteships as far as possible and fought the rest of the fleet to his utmost each cruiser to fly as opportunity offered. It is, however, diffi- cult to see how this would have bettered the issue for Cervera. The Brooklyn and the Oregon, if not the Texas, were, as the battle has shown, faster, as well as strong CT. ships, and turn where he would,' stand or flee, Cervera was doomed by Blanco to destruction. There was audacity in the dash. but. the American guns and the Americans behind those guns, and the swift Brooklyn, took from that audacity all opportunities of escape
