When Cevera's fleet was bottled u2
in Santiago harbor the Secretary Of
the Navy refused to permit the Amer
lean fleet to go in and aes,lty it, fear-
ing that one of our battleships might
be lost. This was carefully explained
and the public was expected to ap-
prove the good judgment of the navy
authorities. In the summer manouvers
of the Maine coast, with the we'll
known dangers of the thick fog that
often hangs about the coast in sum-
mer season. to contend with, the squa-
dron was taken through such dan
gerous passage that one of the battle
ships, only few fathoms or feet out
of her course in the fog, struck rock
and punched her bottom full of holes.
The average man will fail to discern
the wisdom in summer manolvers
that involve such dangers O. naviga-

Turks in the villayet Of Monastir and
other localities in which there is re-
volt against Turkish rule have appa!l-
ed the christian world. Villages have
been reduced to ashes and all their
inhabitants, including women and chill
dren put to the sword. In many III
stances, according to report, women
have been violated and afterwards CIT
to pieces.
These atrocities are attributed to re
ligious fanaticism. But the Christian
nations, although they have power &c
