Ba.vs that liis information is that 1) w
*y's victory was unknown to the Span
ish admiral until lie was taken pris
oner. While the battle was goiniron
at Santiago recently it was officially
announced that C'ainara was bombard*
iu<r Key West, This is a war of en
lightenment as well as humanity.
Com moiiokk Sciilkv is commanded by
an acting rear admiral, whose actual
rank is only that of a captain. Doubt
less, the main reason why Sampson
was preferred as commander of our
Atlantic fleet is because he is an ex
pert in matters of ordnance, gunnery
and high explosives. On these sub
jects lie is probably the best informed
of any officer in the navy.
One iiiM>Ri-:r> ash fokty-two vessels
in ail are known to have been wrecked
on Sable island. These were ships,
brio's, barks, schooners and brigan
tines. There has doubtless been a
number of other vessels that have been
wrecked on the island of which there
is no record. In former years vessels
would "disappear," but how, when or
where did not trouble the world iu
general.
EvKiiY one surely must admire Cant.
Fhillips. of tlie Texas. After the bat
tle was ended he called all hands to
the quarter deck, and, with bared
head, thanked God for the almost
bloodless victory. "I want to make
public acknowledgment," he said,''that
1 believe in God tne Father Almighty.
1 want all you officers and men to lift
your hats and from your hearts otter
silent thanks to the Almighty."
Naval constructors have been busy
deriving deductions from the sea fight
off Santiago. The representatives of
the German and Russian governments
will undoubtedly find after the exper
iences of the Terror at San Juan da
l'orto Rico and the ease with which
the little Gloucester sent the I*l uton
and Furor to destruction that the mod
ern torpedo boat destroyer, the new
weapon of the English navy, is it
vastly overrated type of naval con
struction.
In the destruction of the Spanish
torpedo destroyers, Flu ton and Furor,
their force was obviously superior to
that of the Gloucester, the yacht con
verted into a destroyer of the torpedo
boat destroyer and Lieut Commander
Wainwright and his "plucky crew won
the maximum reward of S'JOO per capita
fur those on board the now destroyed
destroyers. The complement of the
Furor and Fluton was about 1-J5 men,
which will give the Gloucester credit
for winning Si.j.OUO.
There was great rejoicing in Spain
when Cervera <. r ot into the harbor of
Sanllair o and there was great rejoicing
in Spain when it was reported that
Cervera had escaped from the harbor
of Santiago. Likewise there was
much satis taction in Spain when Ca
mara passed through the Suez canal,
and.of course, there will be much sat
isfaction when Camara passes back
through the Suez canal. And yet
there are some souls who believe that
Spain is not gettingher money's worth
out of tliis war.
It does not make good news any bet
ter, but tiie fact that a single dispatch
from Santiago the other day cost Sil,-
000 will convey to newspaper readers
an impression of the unprecedented
liberality of the arrangements which
supply the earliest and best aceou ts
of every striking event in the war.
The New York Herald and its asso
ciates the other day paid the suin of
$21,000 for use of the cables long
enough to secure transmission of the
battle description sent by their corps
01 correspondents.
Men who make a business of war
are watching the performances of the
Vesuvius with great interest. Al
though she is called a dynamite
cruiser, she really throws shells filled
with wet<fun cotton, which is 155 per
cent, moisture and can be handled
without danger, but it is necessary to
use a small quantity of dry gun cotton
for a detonator. The dry gun cotton
is extremely dangerous, and if a Span
ish shell were to strike even a small
part of that on the Vesuvius the ship
would be blown into atoms.
A suggestion worthy of attention
here as well as in the west lias been
made to the relief societies of Mis
souri by a volunteer from that state.
In a letter written from Camp Alger
he says:"lt might be well if the patri
otic people would make a donation to
our hospital in the way of reading
matter. Any book or other publica
tion sent to the regiment hospital will
be placed there for the use of the pa
tients. What time a soldier spends in
a hospital his life is in greater danger
than on a battle field, to my mind."
DEMOCRATS DIVIDED.
Their Policy of Opiionl tlon
Apparent I |»oit All Oo
riiNlonN.
In the face of the strong and pa
triot it: national sentiment which lias
been led by the present administration
the democratic party is confused and
doubtful. Its policy for years has been
one of opposition, but it is an ungrate
ful task to oppose the American move
ments now so justly and grandly in
progress. There are men in the demo
cratic party who are wise and pa
triotic enough to be unwilling to bar
the progress of events, lint these men
! nd themselves opposed by the reac
tionaries in their party.
A conspicuous illustration is the
democratic minority in the house of
representatives. The democrats in
the house decided to oppose Hawaiian
annexation. I!ut a number of the mem
bers of that party refused to abide by
the caucus decision. Then an attempt
was made to whip the recalcitrant
mi mbers into line, and to decide that
the action of a caucus was binding
upon every member of the party. But
the attempt failed disastrously. The
discord among the democrats in the
house is shown by the lack of loyalty
to their nominal leader, Bailey, of
Texas, an obstinatf* young man who
has been compelled several times to
endure tiie ignominy of seeing the
reins taken from his hand at crises
when cool-headed leadership was in
demand.
The democratic state conventions
now being held add their testimony to
the hopeless division in the party.
Some democrats are disposed to dig
Bryanism out of its suicidal grave and,
as in Indiana, are endeavoring to re
galvanize into life the dead cries of
"free coinage of silver" and "tariff for
revenue only." They would recall the
memory of the fact that the Chicago
convention with its "sixteen to one"
absurdity presented an unreal issue,
and by its wearing of the livery and
clasping the hand of populism drove
from the ranks of democracy its old
line leaders and followers. Bryan him
self puts on the shoulder straps of a
colonel that he may get a high enough
position to talk about war and the war
policies.
The more up-to-date members of the
democratic party realize that the mill
will never grind with the water that has
past, and t hey are ready to discuss war
measures and the new questions that
are teaching the people that we are
on a world that is round and can be
circumnavigated. But here again the
democratic fatuity is shown in the
position of obstruction that is taken.
The congressional opposition to the
war revenue bill is reflected in demo
cratic plat forms throughout the coun
try, and as war opens the door of na
tional growth and development demo
cratic. voices, even as far apart as
Bryan and Cleveland, unite in the cry
"shut the door!"
. It is the old spirit that objected to
the war measures of thirty-odd years
ago. and objected to the constitutional
and other reconstruction that grew
out. of those war measures. It is the
voice of a party that is obstructive
when it denies and destructive when it
affirms.
But this division in the democratic
party emphasizes both the duty and
the opportunity of republicans. The
conventions of republicans that are
being held show that the republican
party is awake to its obligation and to
its privilege. Loyalty to the admin
istration and a cheerful readiness to
enter the doors that open to larger
uses for American ideals —these are
the manifestations of a party spirit
that, is alive. The formation of party
lines in the view of the stirring events
of to-day assure the result of the elec
tions of three years—lS9B, 1899 and
1900. Tried and true men on platforms
already marked out. in nation and in
state—these will be the means to the
desired result.
And meanwhile, unable to catch up
to the American triumphal car, in
which the republican party is riding,
the democrats turn to fighting one an
other in the road.—Troy Times.

THE DEMOCRATS AND WAR,
Political Mulcon tenia Who {llmlracl
Notional I'roKrrsH for I'url
iraan I'liritont-N.
Every democrat in congress voted for
the appropriation of $50,000,000 to pre
pare tin* army and the navy for the war
with Spain then imminent. That una
nimity justified the hope that party
lines would not lie drawn in tlit- pros
ecution of the war, and the measures
incident to it. But this anticipation
has not l«een realized. The organ of
the democracy at the national capital,
the Washington Times, declares in an
editorial on '•Democratic Folly" that
the democrats in congress have com
mitted about every error possible since
the war began.
This is not the accusation of a polit
ical opponent, on th<' alert for some
thing to condemn; is it the accusa
tion of a newspaper dependent upon
press reports for its information. The
Times has the advantage of observa
tion at close range. In support of this
general accusation and its political re
sult. the same paper adds:
"Giving a grudging support to the va
rious imperative measures which followed
the original appropriation of $."">0,000,000 for
the national defense, they lined themselves
up almost solidly against the war revenue
bill and capped the climax by easting the
bulk of their vote in opposition to the an
nexation of Hawaii, a consummation de
voutly desired by a two-thirds majority in
both houses of congress and four-fifths of
the American people without regard to
' party.
"The result Is plain. What was intended
to lie and what was originally a purely
American war has degenerated in the eyes
of the country into a republican war, with
all that that Implies."
This is strong language, but, consid
ering the votes in the house cast under
the leadership of llailey, of Texas, and
the attitude of the democrats in the
senate, under the leadership of White
and Jones, it is none too strong. As the
Times truthfully remarks: "The re
publican president stands before the
world to-day as one pursuing a patri
otic policy in the teeth of unreasoning
democratic opposition." Following this
clear and exact statement of fact, the
Times concludes with these prophetic
words:
"When victory comes to him and Spain is
humbled in the dust, when America's pos
sessions are enriched by the addition of
Hawaii, the Philippine s, I'uerto Rico, and
perhaps the Canaries, Mr. MeKinley can
truthfully say: 'This Is my work—mine
and the republican party's. As we saved
the union In 1 sfii, so now do we glorify it
with victory. Ours the triumph, ours
the spoils, including a majority in the new
house of representatives.'
"And the people on the Mh day of Novem
ber will cry: 'Amen.' "
It remains to be seen whether the
party in the senate will heed these time
ly words of warning. The people, irre
spective of party, are patriotic and w ill
show their patriotism at the polls. If
a majority of the democrats in the sen
ate repeat the ineffable folly of the
house democrats tic rank and file of
the democracy w ill disregard party bar
riers and give to the republican presi
dent and congress an indorsement jus
tifying this forecast.—Chicago Inter
Ocean.

Washington, .Inly 14.—Secretary
Alger received the following dispatch
yesterday from (Jen. Miles:
"I'laya del Kste, .July 13.—At a meet
ing between the lines at which (Jen.
Shaffer, (Jen. Wheeler and Spanish
(Jen. Torn I were present, the latter
claimed that he is unable to act. with
out authority of his government, but
has received authority to withdraw
and surrender harbor forts, munitions
of war and eastern portion of Cuba,
lie urgently request* until Thursday
noon to receive answer from his gov
ernment regarding offer of our gov
ernment to send his forces to Spain,
which was granted."
: On the bulletin giving Miles' dis
patch was written underneath the dis
patch the following:
"Permission to withdraw was de
clined by war department."
I he war department has made pub
lit; the following statement concern
ing the conditions in the hospitals
near Santiago:
"(•n the 11th of July a telegram was
received from Lieut. Col. I'ope, chief
surgeon of Shaffer's army, informing
the surgeon general that there were
14 cast's of yellow fever in the field
hospital which had been established
for the care of such cases. Since that
time information has been received
that a number of additional eases have
occurred. ICvery effort will be made
to arrest the progress of flic disease
by the establishment of isolation hos
pitals in which the sick w ill be treated
by immune surgeons and eared for by
immune nurses."
While the long expected fall of San
tiago did not take place yesterday it
is evident that the crisis has been
reached. Within flic next ~'4 hours the
city will either surrender or receive
such a baptism of fire as seldom falls
to the lot of a besieged town. The
public in a telegram from (Jen. Miles
yesterday was given the first notice
that our government had offered in
the course of negotiations with (Jen.
Toral to send the Spanish forces in
Santiago back to Spain.
A few days ago it was stated that
the president would insist upon un
conditional surrender, but it appears
that condition has been modified as
indicated by (Jen. Miles. This was
done from a desire to avoid useless
bloodshed, for (Jen. Toral's army, re
moved to Spain would be harmless to
prevent our further operations in
Cuba and would serve as good a pur
pose as the destruction of the Spanish
army. To allow the Spanish general
to withdraw to the inferior and fall
back on Havana, on the other hand,
would put us under the obligation of
overcoming that additional force
when it comes to the siege of Havana.
Our government also is moved to
make this proposal to remove the
Spanish forces to Spain through a
strong desire to <'lo.se up the opera
tions at Santiago at the earliest possi
ble moment.

Appeared.
Manila, via Hong Kong, July 14.
The insurgents on .Inly (i reported
that the German gunboat Irene, in
Subie bay, refused to permit them to
attack the Spaniards on Grand Island.
Rear Admiral Dewey promptly sent
the cruisers Kaleigh and Concord to
investigate the matter. On entering
Subie bay the Kaleigh opened fire on
the forts, whereupon the Irene slipped
her cable and steamed out by the
other channel. The result of the fire
of the American warship was that the
Spaniards, numbering over 1,000 men,
surrenderod everything .
On returning to Manila the Irene
explained that she interfered "in the
cause of humanity," and offered to
hand over to the Americans the refu
gees she had on board. Dewey de
clined to accept them.
(Jov. (Jen. Augustin issued a procla
mation promising to grant autonomy
to the islands and offering the insur
gents inducements to join the Spanish
forces. (Jen. Aguinaldo, the insurgent
leader, in reply, said the overtures of
the Spanish commander came too late.
On July 0 the insurgents made vig
orous attacks on the Spaniards from
all sides, with little result. They
shelled the Spanish blockhouses and
trenches north of Manila and captured
the Spanish guns at Santa Mesa.
There was a furious musketry tire
all night long at San Juan. Santa Ana,
I'aso and I'asayi, the Spaniards reply
ing with artillery and musketry.
About 400 native militia at Santa
Ana have joined flic insurgents. The
insurgents have rushed the Mstlate en
trenchments. pushing forward to the
walls of the fort, but they had to re
tire at daylight. It is probable that
flu loss was 100 men each.
The Americans and the insurgents
are acting independently, both con
ducting their own operations and hop
ing to evolve an agreement after
wards.
Washington, July 14. —The navy de
partment has received the following
dispatch from Admiral Dewey:
"Aguinaldo informs me his troops
have taken all of Subie bay except Isla
Grand, which he was prevented from
taking by the (Jerwian man-of-war
Irene. On July ~ the Kaleigh and Con
cord went then 1 ; they took the island
and about 1,,'t00 men with arms and
ammunition. No resistance. The
Irene retired from the bay on their
arrival."

Washington, July 15. —"Santiago
surrendered at three"was the signifi
cant official announcement thut
reached the president at 3:06 Thurs
day afternoon. It came in a dispatch
from a signal service official at Playa
del Kste and told the result of the
meeting of the capitulation commis
sioners in brief and concise form. The
lispatch was well ahead of the official
message from Shatter. Santiago time
is 55 minutes ahead of Washington,
which accounts for the quick receipt
of the result, the commissioners not
meeting until 2:30. A few minutes
after this message had come to the
president the following was received
by Chief Signal Service Officer Gree
ley :
"T'laya, July 34. —Santiago has sur
rendered. J ON* ICS."
The adjutant general received the
following from Playa:
"Adjutant General, Washington:
riave just returned from interview
with Gen. Toral. He agrees to sur
render upon the basis of being' re
turned to Spain. This proposition em
braces all of eastern Cuba from Acer
raderos on the south to Sagua on the
north, via Palma, with practically the
Fourth army corps. Commissioners
meet this afternoon at 2:30 to definite
ly arrange terms.
"W. I{. SHAFTER. Major General."
The war department received the
following dispatch from Gen. Miles,
written apparently before the final
surrender of Santiago at 3 o'clock:
"Before Santiago, July 15. —Gen.
Toral formally surrendered the troops
r>f his army troops and division of
Santiago—on the terms and under
standing that his troops shall be re
turned to Spain. Gen. Shafter will ap
point commissioners to draw up the
conditions of arrangements for carry
ing out the terms of surrender. This
is very gratifying and Gen. Shafter
and the officers and men of his com
mand are entitled to great credit for
their fortitude in overcoming the al
most insuperable obstacles they en
pountered. A portion of the army has
been infected with yellow fever and
efforts will be made to separate those
who are infected and those free from
it, and to keep those who are still on
board ship separated from those on
shore. Arrangements will be im
mediately made for carrying out. fur
ther instructions of the president and
yourself."
The statement that the Spanish
proposition embraces all eastern Cuba
from Acerraderos to Sagua is impor
tant in that it shows the surrender to
embrace all the harbor and contig
uous territory of Santiago. It does
not include llolguin and Manzanillo,
where the Spaniards are reported to
have considerable bodies of soldiers,
as these places are west oi the sur
rendered zone.
The territory surrendered by Gen.
Toral includes a population exceeding
125,000 when the country is in its nor
mal state. It includes the important
cities of Santiago, Guantanamo, Sagua
de Panama and Baracoa. It is exceed
ingly rich in minerals, sugar and cof
fee. The large iron and copper mines
at Juragua. Baiquiri and vicinity are
owned by American companies. In
the Guantanamo district are extensive
plantations. Baracoa carried on an
extensive fruit trade with the United
States.
The plan of the war department for
returning the surrendered army of
Gen. Toral to Spain will not necessi
tate the use of American vessels. Tt
is the purpose of the department to
ask for proposals from all steamship
•ompanies which desire to compete,
for transporting the Spanish troops to
Spain and the most advantageous bid
will be accepted. The advices of Gen.
Shafter state that the number of
Spanish prisoners will be between
12,000 and 15.000.
