THE HERO OF SANTIAGO.

The most significant incident
connected with the Dewey celebra-
ton IN Washington was the spon-
taneous ovation given to the Hero
Of Santiago, Rear Admiral Schley.
1t was only by the combined efforts
of the police and militia that the
people were restrained from un-
hitching the horses and drawing
his carriage by hand. 1t demon
strates that the hearts Of the Ameri
can people resent the mean and
contemplate treatment by which
Sampson and Long have sought to
rob Schley Of the fruits of his
grand victory at Santiago. And
yet the President has permitted
this scandalous and disgraceful &C
ton by one Of his advisers. The
natural inference is that it agrees
with his ideas. If not and If he
had a spark of manhood he would
have emphatically crushed the
cabal in It's incipiencY.
BY sach disgusting exhibitions
we have lost most of the prestige
we gained by the Spanish war and
have laid ourselves open to the ridi.
Guile of foreign nations. We have
not much right to abuse France for
the miscarriage of justice IN the
Dreyfus case. Our own skirts
have been befouled by rank injus-
tlce to brave and skillful officer.

Chadwick, a very pretty tribute
to faithful officer, who has always

well known that Capt. Chadwick
commands the New York, the

and that this battle ship never got
