THE CENTURY's plans for the treat
ment of the Spanish war eliminate
with the publication in the May
number Of a remarkable series OF pa
pers in which the commanders OF
every American vessel, but one, de-
scribes his share in the Battle of
Santiago, which resulted In the COM
plete destruction OF Cervera's fleet.
The only exception is in the case OF
the Oregon, whose commander Capt.
Clark, endorses Lieut.. Eberle's &C
count of that ships participation in
the fight, and himself contributes a
criticism of the Spanish Admiral's
strategy. In this number David
Gray begins series Of Golf Stories,
and Jacob A. Riis tells police re-
porter's story of "Thc last OF the
Mulberry Street Barons." Mr.. Craw.

ues its course. There is a variety OF

OF the month Is an engraving by
