CERVERA PRAISES SCHLEY.
Declares Him n Gallant officer md
n High-Minded Man.

Declares Him n Gallant officer md
n Hirh-Minded Nam.
The New York Journal Of Tuesday
published an interview with Admiral
Cervera, who commanded the Spanish
fleet that met destruction in that MEM
orabie naval conflict off Santiago. Inc
admiral was found at Vichy, France,
and to the Journal correspondent said:
Actions speak The good old prov
erb is: Actions speak louder than
words Why not apply it to Admiral
Schley?
Understand that what I say is in the
light Of this distinction. AS Spaniard
l look upon that war as being as un-
Just as the war which England is now
waging against the Boer republcs.
Personally I shall never forget the
generous and courteous treatment that
was accorded to me by the Americans,
and particularly by Admiral Schley.
He impressed me as a gallant officer
and a highminded gentleman to the
fullest sense Of the phrase. priori,
should say that a man Of noble prin-
a coward. To such men I would look
rather for Castilian bravery.
THE naval battle Of Santiago was
short and decisive-so short that there
was no time for any exchange of COM
pliments; so decisive that I can hardly
believe that cowardice was thinkable.
The fight was over in about three
hours and three quarters. Had I been
captured in the days of ancient Rome,
my back might have been used as a
stepping place for the conqueror
mounting his horse. Admiral Schley
treated me on terms Of absolute equal
ity. His flagship, the Brooklyn, was
west in the blockading line, and was
therefore, the most exposed: She was
engaged in a running fight with the
Vizcaya and the Colon. When the
Brooklyn and the Oregon got within
range of the Colon they opened fire,
and the latter was compelled to run
ashore. The Christobal Colon. also
struck her colors to the Brooklyn and
the Oregon. The Brooklyn holding to
the westward blockading position, was
within range Of our ships and batteries
all the time, though our ships lacked
certain things necessary for full effect
iveness. Admiral Schley showed abili-
ty and thoroughness. ,
1T is a case of demonstrated valor
against bravery. 1t is a case Of the
difference between the act and the pos
sibility, or, as the old philosophers
posse. The philosophical axiom which
I learned in my school days, nancy:
"A posse ad actum non valet consecu-
tio.' (To be able to do thing is not
the. same as doing it) probably applies
to this case.
Il don't know Admiral Sampson and
I have no comment to make upon him.
Your ships went straight to work,
probably without much commanding.
Admiral Schley accomplished fully the
work allotted to him, therefore, 1t does
not seem to me that there is any room
for adverse criticism-at least from
the American side"

MERE-MENTION.

The female population of Massachu-
SettS includes 81 per cent. of ell the
people Of that state. The Southern
Pacific railroad company is about to
borrow $4,000 to be used for changing
the motive power from coal to oil
burners. The present stock of gold
is the largest in the history Of the gov
ernment. On Tuesday the figures were
$504 1854 ,297, of which spas, SOS is free
gold, available for the uses of the gov
ernment.... The work of removing
the wreck of the Cristobal Colon, which
was sunk in the harbor of San Juan
for the purpose of keeping the Amerl-
cans out, has about been completed.
....On account Of the drouth, potatoes,
which last summer sold in Chicago at
40 cents buShel, are now bringing
from $1.25 to S1.30. General Wood,
military governor of Cuba, arrived in
New York with his family last Tues
day. He Is rid of fever and is getting
along very nicely. After a trip along
the New England coast, he expects to
return to Cuba. formidable rev.
olution has broken out in the United
States Of Colombia. 1t is a fight be-
tween the Liberal and Conservative
parties for the possession Of the gov
ernment, now controlled by the Con-
servative party. The Southern Cot
ton Oil company has filed papers at
Trenton, n. j., increasing it's capital
stock from 100000 to $11,00OOOO. ....
Rear Admiral Kimberly has been en-
cused at his owr request from service
on the Schley court of 'quiry..
Capt. Thomas F. Schley, c. the army,
and son of the admiral, has been re-
proved by the war department for talk
ing about his fathers case to the news
papers. ......It is estimated that from
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1901-08-03

In view of the practically indispu-
table testimony to the effect that
Schley inflicted Sc per cent. Of the dam
age that was inflicted on the Spanish
fleet at Santiago, and sustained "a per
cent. of the damage that was inflicted
by the Spaniards on the Americans, It
will be impossible to convict him of
cowarNice. He was not a coward, and
the suggestion that he was is absurd.
Put it will be possible to convict Schley
of disobedience, for of this offence the
admiral is no doubt guilty. When
Dewey cleaned up the Spanish at Ma
Mia, he proceeded at once to cut the
cable line. His object Of course, was
to cut off the long string of fool in
structions he would have otherwise
received from Washington. 1t was not
practicable for Schley to cut himself
off from communication with the au-
thorities, and his only recourse was to
ignore fool orders from Sampson and
others. This is a matter, however.
with which the court of inquiry will
have to deal lightly.

PAID HIS WAY.

There was a big picnic at Liberty
Hill, down in Lancaster county, near
the Kershaw line, on July %. 1t was
attended by nearly thousand people,
and was under the auspices Of the Lib
erty Hill military company.
Senator Tillman was there, and so
was Congressman Finley, Gen. Floyd
and w. P. Pollock, all Of whom made
speeches. Not single newspaper was
represented; but some interesting sto-
ries are being told Of the occasion, es-
pecially in SO far as it relates to Sena-
tor Tillman.
The senator, so the story goes, had
been especially invited; but he declined
to accept the invitation except on a
promise Of the committee that his lex
penses" to the amount Of $40 be paid.
The senator made a characteristic
speech, discussing in his own way not
exactly national issues; but the alleged
sins of the national majority, and he
took occasion also to address himself
to the doings of Senator McLaurin,
throwing upon that gentleman his GUS
tomary abuse and denunciation. In the
course of his talk the senator took oc
casion also to speak Of the general ig-
norance Of the Liberty Hill people, tell
ing them that they were backwoods-
men who did not know enough to read
the daily papers.
The speech throughout was listened
to with more or less attention; but was
not applauded with especial enthusi-
asm. AS matter Of fact, it is said
that the Liberty Hill people have not
been an especially demonstrative COM
munity since the first few years of the
early nineties.
The $40 for Senator Tillman's expen-
ses had not been raised beforehand as
would have been the case had the COM
mittee been more thoughtful and con-
siderate, so 1t was necessary to raise
the amount by subscription after the
speech had been delivered and the work
was rather slow. But whether, as the
result of the publicity or otherwise,
Senator Tlllman became quite generous
with the money when it was turned
over to him. He donated it to the rifle
company with instructions that 1t be
used for providing better seats around
the speakers stand for use next year.
There has been a great deal Of talk
about the meeting all down In Lancas-
ter county, and it seems to be quite
pity that there was no newspaper man
present to write up the whole story in
detail.
