TEMPTING THE NOyELIsTs.

Whatever may be the result of the
Naval Court of Inquiry's investigation
as bearing upon the record and repute
of Admiral Schley. the Captain Marry
ats and Cyrus Townsend Bradys of
the next generation should be profound
ly grateful for the vast material fur
nished upon which ratrling good sea
stories may he based.
1t is now known with almost exact
minuteness what took place on all the
principal American warships engaged
in the fight off Santiago. The story of
the Brooklyn has been told by its of
ficers with the most fascinating and
picturesque fullncss. The way in which
the Oregon bore 10 the front and re-
enforced the Brooklyn in the final
smashing of the Spaniards has been
finely related by the Oreson's officers.
The handling Of the other ships in the
fight is also made plain. And it was Il
cracking good fight: just the sort that
people love to read about.
Also has the full story Of the !Ameri-
can fleets entire Cuban campaign been
brought out. Its every chapter is pro-
foundly interesting The best sort of
sea novel can be written with its action
exclusively limited TO this now historic
and glorious campaign. Take a smart
and plucky naval cadet or ensign for
hero. put him on one of the American
warships, preferably the Brooklyn or
the Oregon. work in your love story
with a Key West end to it, or even
make your heroine Cuban girl of the
patriot stock, with the story's climax
reached in the splendid sea battle of
July 3, 1898, right on the eve of In
dependence Day-and there you are!
And, as your traditional bluff old sea
fighter is always Indispensable to such
stories, what's the matter with Schley:
His famous Give 'em hell, bullies."
while the battle was going on. his This
IS a great day for our country when
the victory was won, are exactly the
right stuff for such character. The
story almost tells itself-it will be
wonder indeed if American sea novel

WAR WITHOUT oLoaY.
sritons Tire of the Uneven, Never
Ending Conflict.

LONDON, May S.-Lord Kitchen
ar's businesslike Inventories of ammu-
lition ana stock captured and Beers
tilled, wounded and taken prisoners,
confirm the general impression that
he campaign IN South Africa has be-
come process Of wearing down re-
sistance by constant work.
There can be no exultatlon over
the results of conflict in which the
soers are hopelessly overmatched,
and the English press does not at
tempt to exaggerate the Importance OF
insignificant incidents, nor even take
note of what is going on. 1t is sim
ply regarded as bit of rough work
which must be put through by mechan-
ical means.
Cattle, horses and ammunition are
now scarce among the Beers. and this
Is a clear indication that the end is
irawing near. 1t is possible that the
commanders still in the field do not
exceed more than two or three thou
sand mon, all told. and that the
bands of guerrillas ordinarily are
not over two thousand strong. Nei-
ther Botha nor De Wet has been ac-
lively employed for long time.
Recruiting returns confirm the sus-
picion that the military reorganiza'
tiou scheme is a hollow sham. Army
officers point oxultantly to the fact
that the militia has been depleted
and bled to death by transfers to the
regular army, and that it can net be
strengthened by recruiting when the
service with the volunteers Offers su
perior attractions. The moral drawn
by these martinets is that the con
scription under modified form of bal
lot must be introduced or the militia
will be decimated
