he replied:
''The lesson we derive from the late war
is one which. history has repeated over
and over again. That is, that good men
and good officers, good discipline and good
organization under first-rate leader al
ways win in action. When an admiral can
organize his fleet so as to infiict crush
ing blow on his adversary with little dam
age to himself, the victory is considered
by some as being too easy to be of much
consequence-too cheap to be good; but
II should be considered a masterpiece of
strategy, combined with perfect organiza-
ton and discipline. The American people
are justly proud of their recent victories,
but the best ships and the best trained
crews are useless in action unless COM
manded by brilliant leader, who adds
10 his qualifications a master mind to en-
able him to place his fleet quickly in a
position of advantage. The Americans
have such a man in Admiral George
Dewey.
"The very astonishing performance of
the battle-ship Oregon, in her long run
from San Francisco to the scene of hos

Il am most heartily and earnestly in

RETURNS WITH RENEWED FAITH
Il had no adequate idea OF the Won
derful possibilities of Cuba and Porto
Rlco before my personal investigation,
and l return to Washington with re-
newed faith. All that I ever imagined
has been more than realized. Under no
circumstances would l now consent to
the surrender of Porto Rico. which is
now our territory. nor would 1 place
the slightest check upon the great work
which Is being done for Cuba. The duty
we have taken upon ourselves of hold
ing Cuba in trust for civilization is n
noble one.
1.-The problems are meeting satisfac-
tory solution. and I see no reason to
fear the future. None of the serious
questions which have already arisen or
will arise are insurmountable. Havana
is beginning TO feel the benefits of
American control and the advance and
development will be enormous.
VERY LITTLE DISTRESS.
II was agreeably surprised to find
so little distress in the islands. The
amount of rations for distribution
among the people is rapidly decreasing,
and as fast as the people find employ
ment they will cease to be dependent
upon us for food. There is no intention
or inviting pauperism in the island.
AMERICAN MONEY INVESTED.
II believe it is a mistake to believe
that fortunes can be made quickly in
Cuba, though there is a great deal of
American money invested there. Time
is needed to secure return from capital
as for everything else. The people of
Cuba see that the United States is act

TRIBUTE TO OUR SOLDIERS.

OF men than the American soldiers now
in Cuba. They are like princes, athle-
tic in build, and bronzed and hearty in
appearance. They seem contented and
the United States has every reason to
feel proud of them
Our officers and men have learned to
be soldiers and how to care for them
selves, showing n great contrast to the
new raw recruits that We're hurriedly

REMARKABLE EXAMINATION.
The examination of Richard Croker
was remarkable one, chiefly by reason
OF the answers which he returned TO
the questions propounded to him nv
Mr.. Moss. He was brief and direct. and
took advantage OF the many opportu-
mites offered him to retort in a man
ner that evoked applause many times
from those gathered in the COMMITTEES
room.
Mr.. Croker gave events a somewhat
dramatic turn, when, after refusing TO
answer several questions CONCERNING
his private affairs, he held up his right
hand and said impressively:
If you can show me where I have
taken single dollar from this CITY
you can cut that arm off"
When the Tammany chief went on
the stand at the beginning of the dav's
session, Mr.. Moss conducted a line or
questioning, which Mr.. Croker evident

suddenly leaned forward and said:

Mr.. Moss said he would accommodate
him, and he endeavored to do so. He
drew from Mr.. Croker the fact that the
fammany chief believed that all the
offices OF administration OF all depart-
ments should go to the victorious polit-
ical party.

added
Continuing, Mr.. Croker said that

In the controversy now existing,
therefore, haste should be made

In our reduction works here in
