VERA CRUZ AND SANTIAGO.

The events Of the Spanish-AmeriCan
war are not 50 far removed but most
of us have a distinct recollection Of the
anxiety which was OcCasioned by the dis
patch Of CcrveTa's squadron Of four ar
mored cruisers and some turpedO-boat
dcstroyers from Spanish To American
waters. 1t was known that Ce-vera had
sailed. hut as to his destination there
was. even in our navy. considerable doubt
and must resulting peTpleNity As will
always be the case in hostilities involving
naval operations. our towns and cities
along the seahOard became suddenly
aware Of the vast Importance ~ a navy,
and the timOrous property holders and
municipalities clamored LOUDLY for the
protection OF n cruiser. battIe>hip or
something that could shoot with h.g guns.
Meanwhile. when our scouts. improvised
and otherwise, weEe securing the seas in
search OF the Spanish admiral. he had
slipped quietly into Santiago harbOr.
where he lay Snugly screened from oh
servatiOn behind the rather lofty hills
which encircle that anchorage. Nor have
so many years intervened since that in
teTcstinE episode but most Of US will
recall the lOngrange observation Of the
entrance to Santiago harbOr by Admiral
.Schley, and the many speculatiOns in

and everybody else. as To whether the
Spanish ships were or We're not hidden
inside the snug little harhur.
Vastly different are the conditions six
teen years later at the port Of Vera Cruz.
MeX.-diferent that is 10 say 50 far as
the question of obtaining acCurat" infor-
nation of the strength and location of
the enemy is concerned. Although our
enlisted men and marines have landed in
considerable force and held the city. there
was considerable uncertainty as to num-
ber and position of the enemy's forces
outside the city. Rumor had 1t that
heavy reinfOrCcments had been dispatched
from various points to Gen. Mas. who
had been in command at Vera Cruz, and
it was stated that he was making ready
for an attack on the city with over
whelming numbers. Most important was
it that Admiral Fletcher should be in
formed on this point and learn what was
the condition OF the railroad line from
Vera Cruz to Mexico. and particularly of
some important bridges on that line. II
was impossible to spare sufficient officers
and men for an adequate reconnaissance,
and for a while the situation appeared to
be somewhat critical Then there steamed
INTO port the Mississippi. and. shortly
after her arrival. the naval aeroplanes
had ascended and were making a search
ing reconnaissance Of the outlying dis
tricts about Vera Cruz and along the
route of the railroad. The Mexican forces,
very limited in number. were located.
and the whole military situation at and
about Vera cruz was cleared up.
There is a world OF significance in 4
comparison of the situation. at these tw3
ports in the West Indies and the Gulf:
and once more the aeropIsne has proved
its inestimable value as a means of ob-
tanning definite knowledge of the strength
and position of the enemy.-ScisntIfc

TREATY VERSIONS DIFFER.
North American scents Deception
Either by Colombia or Bryan.


Either by Colombia or Bryan.
Philadelphia, June Ain an editorial
tomorrow the North American will show
that there Is a radical difference be-
tween the version of the Colombian
treaty as presented to the Senate by
Secretary Bryan and that officially put
forth by the government Of Colombia
As reported to the Senate the first ar
ticle reads:
The government Of the United States
expresses, In its own name and In the
name OF the people Of the United States.
sincere regret that anything should have
occurred to interrupt or mar the rela-
tions Of cordial friendship" etc.
Supporters Of the administration have
attempted to excuse this as a mere formal
arisen. Colombia. however, makes it an
abJect apology.
The July number OF the Review and
Reviews prints a Photographic fac
simile of the treaty as published in the
Diarie Oficial. at the Colombian capital
The Spanish and English versions ap-
pear in parallel columns
The latter reads. as given to the Senate
by Secretary Bryan. But the Spanish
version OF the article IN question READS:
''E1 Gobierno de Los Estabos uni dos
presa sincere sentiment por cual quier
cosa que haya oCurrido ocasionada. etc"
The North American editorial quotes
experts in the Spanish language to show
that the correct translation Of this
clause is:
THE government Of the United States
expresses sincere regret for anything
which has occurred"
The North American says:
Either Colombia is again engaged in
dishonest trickery, in the PRONUNCIATION Of
a false version Of the treaty, or else the
Wilson administration by intention Of
through stupidity, is deceiying the United
States Senate"

THE OPEN FORUM.
A Plea for the Comfort Of Railway
Mail Clerks.

To the Editor: / do not think there
Is class Of government employees who
deserve more consideration than the pos
tai clerks. especially the railway postal
clerks. because OF their responsibilities,
their faithful attention TO duty and their
constant risk Of life. ] am sure an ap-
preciative public will agree with me that
their surroundings should receive due
consideration. On fearfulIy hot DAYS ana
nights they stand and work in cars, heat

in addition by the electric lights. when
the thermometer IS running SO high that
heat prostration Is feared by those who
Use every means for keeping cool Their
bodies are almost blistened from the ex-
cessive heat. and one poor fellow said
to me: That waves Of heat pass be-
fore their eyes almost binding them"

blessing for those in authority TO pro-
vide electric fans for their safety and
