FOE AND FRIEND.
Churia.

The retirement of Admiral Cervers from
active service in the Spanish navy closes the
professional career of an officer whose acludi
achievements in war were by no means com
mensurate with his personal deserts 1t was
hitter irony that so gallant and chiYaIrous D
sea fighter should become best known TO the
world through his own irretrievable disaster. Be
fore 1898 he had served his country we'll TOT
many years and in many ways, and was hon
ored there. but his name was little known to the
world at large But since he was vanquished on
that loud Sabbath at Santiago his tame mas
been worldwide and it is by that defeat uldt
he will most generally he known in history.
But such a fate is not quite so depiorable as
il might seem. Those who look Deneath tnt
surface into the heart of things. Will readily
perceive that it was not Cervera who was
beaten at Santiago. 1t was the unreadlneSs anu
inefictency of Spain and her Incompetence to
guard her own possessions. He was the com
msnder not of a forlorn hope. but of hope
which WAS doomed in advance. In desperate
circumstances he acted like a hero. Had the
Spanish naval equipment been commensurate
with his spirit we should not 50 easily nave won
that fight. In one famous battle the vanquished
cried 10 the yctors. Change leaders with us
and we'll fight YOU again and beat you.' At
Santiago there was room for such q plea
It was not in the genius of leadership that
Spain was lacking.
1t must he cause for qualification to Admiral
Cervera. as it Is cause for gratitude in Amer
lea that in the very time of his defeat and his
captivity he contributed so much, by the fine
ness of his demeanOr. toward the restoration or
friendly feelings between the two nations.
Americans could not fail to respect nation
capable Of producing such a man as he, and
we are sure that the impressions which he re-
ceived Of this country. not only from the muz-
zles of guns at Santiago but also from the
hands and lips and hearts of the many whom
he met in peaceful relations, and which he in
turn conveyed to his countrymen. went far 70
incline the Spanish people to a kndlier attitude
toward those whom they temporarily regarded
as their foes. In that noble achievement he
may we'll have found consolation for his defeat
in war. Certainly on that account, as well as
on many others. the American people as sin
cereIy as those Of Spain will wish for the brave
old admiral many years Of health and hsppi-
ness in his we'll earned retirement.
