Dor no more did Sampson although
when the latter arrived at Santiago

as it vas When SchIey was in COM
uand before Sampson appeared upon
the scene.
But that IS another story We are
dealing now with the battle which
Sampson did not win, and historian
MacIay's version Of it It is perfectly
clear now from the Secretary's state
ment as to Admiral Schley's courage
that Maclay's statement is far worse
than an Incorporate and unjudiciaI
one. It is absolutely false to history.

Historian MncIar,s stntement.

Every new development in the Samp-
son-SchIey controversy gives the mat
ter a bIacEer look for the enem,es OF
Admiral Schley. It now transpires that
Historian Maclay is q clerk IN the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, although on
the roll as a Iaborer. Mr.. Mac
lay has just been interviewed
with reference To his attack upon
the hero Of Santiago. and the
statement Of the historian Is some
thing OF a curio- He is reported IS ad-
hitting that the language Is ''jntemper-
ate and not altogether judicial" With
that statement the country viii be very
likely to agree But what kind OF a
historian must man be who would
deliberately employ such language in
what was intended 10 be a standard
work and only discover that II was in
temperate and non-judicial when the
whole country has been thrown into q
fever heat Of Indignation by its publ
cation?
The status Of the author literally de-
prives the book Of all value 50 far as it
treats Of the Spanish war. for he IS
clearly q small-fry member Of the

OF Secretary Long, who states that he
only saw and read the proof slips Of
the third chapter IF the third volume,
which chapter relates TO the nobiliza-
ton Of the navy. 1t f. a pleasure to
note this denial. for while The Times
is firm in the opinion that Admiral
SchIey has been badly treated by the
Navy Department, it would not readily

Long had Intentionally made himself d

The Secretary Is reported as paying

everything material that has been Urg-
ed in derogation Of the Admiral. Al
the same time the Secretary criticises
Schley for not having entered the har-

Mr. Hanna's speech at the Buffalo
Exposition was essentially a plea on
behalf II shipping subsidies. Ills Te-
marks were directed to the state Of
our South American trade. which he
declared TO be Ianguishing, and while
he proposed no remedy. everybody
knows what his specific is. According
to his economic philosophy, 1t is i'm
possible for any industry 10 thrive in
this country without direct Govern
mental aid.
But whatever may be Ir. Hanna's
skill in party manipulation, he is no
Iogician, and his argument taken in its
entirety shows clearly that no subsidy
is required to build up trade between
nations. He assumes that we have
but a small trade with South America
because we have 10 steamship lines
connecting Us directly with the ports
Of that continent The flaws in this
argument are easily perceived. In the
first place, it is only our export trade
10 South America that is unsatisfac-
tory We import everything Of South
American production that we need
connections. One side OF the trade be
ing all right, Il IS absurd to claim that
the less favorable condition Of the
other side IS owing 10 the fact that
wc have not been paying subsidies
The main reason Ig and has been that
We have not been able to produce the
things which South America needs and
furnish them as chcaply as our COM
petitors have done. and are ROW doing
When We can do this there viii be no
difficulty in securing ships to carry the
goods The vessels which bring car
goes from our Southern neiEhbOrs VIII
carry our own products back.
The utter fallacy Of MIR. Hanna's ar
gument is shown by his own statement
that our trade with Europe has pros
percd amazingly. We are selling to
that continent twice as much as we
buy, and this without subsidies. MI
Hanna would reply to this that while
we are selling all Of these goods to
Europe they are being carried mostly
! in foreign bottoms Well. suppose they

THE STARCH TRADE IN EGYPT.
Local Production Confined to One
Factory ut Cairo.

Frederick W. TfossfcId. the United
States Consul at Trieste. Austria. has
written TO the State Department concern
ing the starch trade in Egypt He avs
that starch manufactured from either
wheat or corn is used extensively IN the
preparation of oriental sweets the best
known among these being the so-caIled
"rohat lukUm-" the --tany" of Arabian
confectionery. which finds a ready sale in
che Eastern market The rice starch used
only for laundry purposes, is much less in
demand
Continuing, Mr.. Hossfeld says:
The home production is confined 20 a
single factory at Cairo. which manufac-
lures only wheat starch. Importations are
made chiefly from Germany, England,
France. Belgium. and Turkey

syria also supplies large quantitIe~ of
corn and wheat starch; but as the pieces
are rather small in size and of a yeuOwish

account of its low price
Rice starch is imported from England,
Germany. France. and Belgium As has
already been stated. it is used in Egypt
only for laundry purposes. The products
of-the last three countries do not upon
