SAMPSON WANTED TO SHOOT.

Some hitherto unwrtten, but interesting
history of the naval engagement off San
riago de Cuba on July 3, 1898. is finding
its way into print One chapter was
printed in our dispatches a few days ago
IN the shape of extracts from a transIa-
ton of the official report of Cant. Victor
II. ConcaS Palu, commander of the
cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa in the IA
nous engagement. incidentally CAPT
Concas vindicated the much-discussed
loop" of the Brooklyn, as Capt. FMhate
of the Vizcaya, and Admiral Cervera had
done before him. Concas says he had or
ders TO ram the Brooklyn and that he
would have done so except for the fact
that she turned to starboard draw
ing away" This les tiTnonial 10 the wis
dom of the maneuvering Of the Brooklyn
will prove pleasing to the friends of Ad-
miral Schley, and somewhat confusing 10
his critics
The point in Capt. Concas' statement
however which may be considered of
most Importance is that he charges the
loss of the Cristobai Colon to the poor
seamanship of Admiral Sampson. The
ship was practically intact when she went
on the beach, he says, and had Admiral
Sampson ordered the divers to close the
(sea) valves he could certainly have saved
the cruiser; but with feverish Impotence
he towed her off with his flagship the
New York." then finding her listing and
sinking he pushed the Colon again with
the ram of his own Ship towards the sandy
shore; but it was too late, and, turning
over, the noble and Inflated cruiser went
to the bottom of the sea forever"
This was a pointed and singing criti-
cism of Admiral Sampson. The replv is in
an interview given out by Admiral Samp-
son in Boston. In the course of his
statement ii is made plain that, notyith-
standing he was too far away TO shoot
any Spaniards during the course OF the
battle. he was highly in the notion of
shooting some of them after the fighting
was all over. The stems of the
sea valves of the Colon, he AYERS
were broken Off. Notwithstanding the COM
mander of that vessel assured him, on
board the New York, that the valves were
Intact Learning that the Spaniard had
falsltied, he recommended that the COM
handing officer be retained on board, or
that he be shot for having destroyed pub
lie property which, after his surrender,
belonged to the captor." He also made
the same recommendation in regard to the
captain of the Sandoval who sank his
ship after the surrender at Santiago"
Speaking specifically of the latter, Ad-
miral Sampson says: He deserved 10 be
shot, but did not see just how we were
to get at it," 1t is probably better that
he did not see Just how to get at it,"
and that his recomme ndation in favor of
The shooting of the commander of
the Colon was not accepted Had
either of the Spaniards been shot,
upon Admiral Sampson's order. he
would have been more unpopular than he

greatly to be regretted, but the shooting
Of her commander would neither have
proved that he broke the sea valves nor
have floated the ship. He should have

Minister of War the Marquis de Galli-
fet of France is said to be slowly recov-
ering from his recent severe illness. His
recovery is regarded as very remarkable.
In the Franco Prussian war, at Sedan,
de Gallifet received a wound which would
have killed an ordinary man. A part OF
his abdomen was shot away and to-day
he wears plate of silver IN
his digestive apparatus, although the me-
tallic part naturally does no digestins.
His sobriquet is "Old Silver-Belly,' on
account of his patch-up internal economy.
The fact that he is silver-hned, so 70
speak, interferes very materially with mis-
taking medicine. or rather with the medi-
cine having proper effect. Thus, when
he became very i'll recently it was feared
that the medicines administered would not
prove effective.

which decided that the publication came
within the prescription of the law. Mean
time, in other cities than Philadelphia,
the publication is in great demand. For
some reason the public would rather buy
an evil book or see a wicked play than
buy or see a book or play of opposite
character.

There is talk of establishing line Of
steamships from Charleston TO Cuba and
Porto Rico. We sincerely hope the pro-

ought to be a good deal of freight to be

should 1t be found that such a line is
not feasible, we hope our Charleston
friends will remember that arrangements
have been made for a line from Savan-

would no doubt find freight and passen-

quite reasonable and the schedules con-

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York World (Dem.) says:
The attitude of the administration TO-
ward Mr. McKinley's war in the Philip
pines is that a state of war exists TO pre-
vent soldiers from claiming a release on

there is no war and no enemy except
bandits for political campaign purposes
at home. The elasticity of the Ohio con-
science is only equaled by its toughness."

Money or, rather, the want of it, will

money, and as money is the lubricant
of the wheels of government, the ma
chinery cannot go on long without it,
Consequently both factions will urge
the courts to make a speedy decision as
10 their respective rights, and neither
will seek TO interpose the customary legal
delays"
