The "white light that beats upon a
throne" is nothing compared to that
which surrounds Admiral Sampson
these day,says Washington dispatch
Not only has the fact been recently
brought out that he delayed for
seven days at Key West after being
informed positively that the Spanish
feet was at Santiago (not even IN
forming Schley Of the fact), and that
he had been formally warned the day
before that the Spaniards would
come out on the very day when they
did, but it now appears that the
superimposed turrets for battleships,
whose merits are now SO much dis
cussed and which has always been
credited to him, was not his inVen-
ton at all, but that of a subordinate
officer under him. Sampson has all
along permitted himself to be credit
ed with this invention, which marked
as wide departure from generally
accepted ideas of gun mounting as
the monitor varied from the type of
ship built during the Civil War
period. While the turrets were de-
veloped during Admiral SIMPSONS
administration of the Naval Ordi-
nance Bureau and had in him an en- !.
.thusiastic advocate, the real inven-
tor. the man who first conceived the
idea Of placing one turret above the
other, was Lieut.. Joseph Strauss,
now in charge of the Indian Head
Proving Station. He was then at
tached to the bureau. Strauss is
also the inventor of other ordinance
devices, including a rammer and
breech mechanism for gun. He is
regarded as one Of the most capable
ordinance experts in the navy, and is
the Youngest officer ever pleced in
charge Of the proving station at
Indian Head. He firmly believes in
The correctness of the principle Of
the superimposed turret, and is .swith
Admiral Sampson in his strong Jap
proval of the system. It was Strauss
who suggested the superimposed
turret 10 Admiral Sampson and
under whose direction the invention
was perfected. This fact has been
positively proved.

Situation in Colombia at Critical
New York, Aug. 30.--A diSpatch't to
The. Herald from Panama. Colombia
says:
Plots and counterplets I'LL the air.
There is war here Of the most hideous
kind and strife that tears tae country
asunder, in which brother is pitted
against brother, friend against friend
and neighbor against neighbor. Fer
tile fields have been devastated, once
thriving towns have been decimated
in population and villages have been
wiped out Of existence. Bands OF
armed men occupy every highway and
traffic Is practically at standstill,
while frantic women mourn their dead
and hungry babes clamor for food.
The entire republic Is a seething
caldron Of unrest. So critical is the
situation that even the officials Of the
government, who wish to re-establish
public confidence, admit that the crisis
must$be reached within a few days,
as matters cannot long continue as
they are. Great battles must soon
be fought, and upon the results will
depend supremacy Of the clashing
parties in Colombia, but also, perhaps,
the integrity of the territory Of three
neighboring repubh Venezuela, Ecr
uador and Nicaragua.
Feeling runs high along the borders
and a general war may be precipi-
tated at any moment by any trivial in
cident The revolution has resolved
itself, after lasting nearly two years,
into an International struggle between
the Liberals and the Conservatives Of

history, contiguous in territory, kin

The schrey-sampson Controversy.

The schley-Sampson Controversy
Admiral Sampson has long enjoyed
the reputation of being an exceed
mgly intelligent, methpdicial, and
painstaking officer of high practical
efficiency. Schley has had the repu-
tation of seafaring man of all-rcund
accomplishments and capability, be-
longing>especially to the traditional
type of the fighting man conspicuous
for the qualities of courage and per-
sonal leadership. That Schley should
have demanded an investigation into
his own conduct rather than court
martial for his rival seams to us rather
impulsive and quixotic, But mark
both of self-respect aud Of generos-
hy. 1t is probably just what our
greatest naval hero, the incompara-
BILE Paul Jones, would himself have
done. Nobody who has ever served
the United States in a distinguished
way was 80 much traduced by enc
mics and Jealous rivals as Commodore
Paul Jones: yet history has been
able to eeperate truth from falsehood
and in the new biography by Buell.,
(which, by the way, is probably
the greatest contribution to Amer
lean history that any naval writer
has made the patriotism and gen.
Jus of Jones shine forth with a pure
hster that nothing henceforth can
dim. John Paul Jones was one of
the greatest men of a great period.
He was diplomatist and a states
man, as we'll as a seaman and a
fighter, and he was greater master

preston THAI any other man WHO
has ever served in the American

.reputation, and thought somewhat
of posterity: for, like Washington, he
had the greatness to foresee the de-
~Yelopment of the United States. But
ibis reputation was not due to any,
sffort on his part to diminish that Of
anybody else. He was Investigated

Gated himself brilliantly. The cir
eumstances of the Spanish-American
War brought great personal reputa-
tion to Admiral DEWEY. It 80 hap
pened that they did not bring cor
yespondingly great reputation to
anybody else. Nobody has been able
to see the work of one directing mind
in the destruction of Cervera's feet
outside the harbor of Santiago. The
result was due to the general efici-
ency of the Am erican navy, Of which
the country regarded both Sampson
and Schley as particularly creditable
and useful members. It is pitiable
that there should have arisen all
this discord and detraction.-From
