Honor to Gallant Men.

The commander and crew of the
Russian cruiser Variag deserve the
credit which always is given to gal
liant men. The Variag, an ordinary
protected cruiser, was lying in the
harbrr of Chemulpo, Korea, in com.
paDy with another Rcssian crusier OF
inconsiderable force. A Japanese
squadron appear at :he entrance of the
harbor. 1t was composed of battle
ship. tour cruisers and a dozen torpedo
boats The Japanese admiral sent in
word that he would give the Russian
half an hour to come out of the bar-
bor. or he would attack them there
With the band playing and the crew
cheering. the Variag steamed out of
the port to meet the enemy, going to
certain destruction aud the probable
death of every man on board. She
engaged the Japanese vessels, received
their combined fire and, in a sinking
coDdiCion, managed to make her way
back into the hartor so that the sur.
vivrs of the crew were enabled to es-
cape by swimming to neutral ships of
war.
The details are missing. but the
imagination can easily fill them in
and form picture of as gallant .
naval fight as ever was waged. The
truth is far different from the first
story that the flag of the Variag was
hauled down without a shot being
fred in defense of it. This incident,
and others which have occurred in
the reporting of the progress of the
war, give color to the belief that
news which passes through London
does not always give full credit to the
Russians. While the friends of free
government cannot have lively
sympathy with Russia, it is absurd to
think that her sailors or seamen ever
will surrender without making the
best fight possible under the oirc-m-
stances Denver News.
