WEEKLY JOURNAL

KSTABLISHKD IX

FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1S9S

MONTKJO and Cervera both got up against the real thing on Sunday. The better the day the better the deed.

FOURTEEX of Spain's war vessels wiped out at the cost of one American killed and ten wounded, not one of our vessels materially damaged. Never before did the world see anything in naval fighting like it.

IT was a pity to destroy so good a fleet as Cervera'a really was, or would have been in American hand?. But there are lots of pities. in war. Besides, it will not take us long to build a still better fleet ourselves.

THOSE foreign military attaches of the American army and navy at Santiago may not get quite such nice accommodations as they desire, but they are getting knowledge of how war should be fought, and that is what they went down there for.

rilANOKD JITS VIEWS 'The T\ew York-Journal has been the most outrageously abufcive of till tbo yellow papers regarding ilie conduct of the war. It could not employ language strong enough to denounce the president and all in authority. Finally the owner of the sheet, Mr. Hearst, went to the front himself to see what really was the state of affairs. He wires his paper the following interesting resume of his observations "The officers have the full control of the men. There is no apparent clash of authority, and it is now obvious, not only to military critics, but to laymen that McKinley wisely chose not to send these thousands of men into this scorching, blistering jungle until it was an effective army, well balanced and adjusted, and fit to fight a desperate enemy under a tropic sun. The army got here neither too soon nor too late. The stroke was timed with sure judgment. Now that I am hero on the spot 1 can actually see the difficulties and peculiarities of the the campaign. I am satisfied that McKinley was right in deciding to attack Santiago rather than Havana. With good water and high ground here we may accomplish in the rainy season what would have been a sheer impossibility in the deadly lowlands and ewamps of Havana Province."

FUTUKK OF THE l'llILIl'I'IN'KS. The discussion of the future of the Philippines has gone on apace and has brought out a great variety of opinions, says the Review of Reviews. The surprising thing in the discussion has been the remarkable vigor ar.tl extent of the American sentiment in favor of the permanent retention of the islands as an American possession. It is coming to be understood throughout the country that annexation of Hawaii or the Philippines or Porto Rico does not by any means imply, either now or at any time in the future, admission into the sisterhood of federal states whose government is provided for under the constitution. It is as precisely as reasonable and possible that the United States should exercise general sovereignty over a distant island without bringing that island into the federal union as for Holland to exercise dominion in Java without bringing the people of that remote realm into domestic relation with the Netherlands. The question is not, after all, a theoretical one. Nobody need trouble his mind about its constitutional aspects. It is a strictly practical question, and one that must be considered boldly and fairly in the light of the interests of everybody really concerned. The people primarily affected are 0) the native inhabitants of the Philippines, (2) the Spanish whom we are dispossessing, and (3) ourselves. We need not hesitate for a moment about the rights of the Spaniards. They have brought this war upon themselves, and the eun is setting upon their colonial empire. We shall TJut ourselveB in their place in the Philippines, and we must then consider our own interests und the interests of the native population. We shall have to maintain a military occupation for a good while, no matter how eager we may be to rid ourselves of the whole business. It may be possible that under the friendly auspices of our military government there may be nursed into life some tolerable sort of native republican system.

Off Santiago do Cuba, July 4, vi:i Kingston, Jamaica, July G.—Admiral Cervera held a consultation with his officers before sailing out of the harbor of Santiago do Cuba, and by a small majority the move was agreed upon. The minority said that destruction was sure as many of the fireman had mutined and the best men in the fleet were worn out by serving the guns in the shore batteries.

Early on the morning of the sortie careful observations were taken of the sea, east and west. Admiral Cervera decided upon taking tlio westward course with Manzanillo. Cienfuegos, or, if possible, Havana as the port to be reached. He would have goue east but for the sighting of a large transport fleet- off Siboney and the assurance that a couvoy of war vessels was still with the transports..

Could Have Escaped..

As a matter of fact there is no vessel larger than a converted yacht, except the New York that could have obstructed Admiral Curvera's escape eastward.

Naval men here are sure that the Spanish vessels could have disabled or sunk the New York and escaped had the eastward course been chosen.

It was feared for a time bv ninny that some of the sailors and officers who swam ashore 1'i'om the Vizcaya, the AJniiraiite Oquendo and the Maria Teresa were killed by the insurgents, whoA^er'e seen in the eliapparel near tho beach..

This could not. be verified as no accurate estimate of the loss to the Spanish fleet was obtainable.

It is estimated that one shell killed 300 men on the Yixcaya, raking the vessel fore and aft.

SCHLEY'S PROMPT ACTION.

Prevented Admiral Cerveia's Kseape from iSautia^o. Off Santiago de Cuba, July 4, via Kingston, Jamaica, July (.—After a chase of 60 miles to the westward, the Brooklyn, closely followed by the Oregon, overhauled the Cristobal Colon, after she had run ashore and hauled down her flag. Captain Cook of the Brooklyn, went on board of her and the commander of the Spanish armored cruiser came forward to surrender and was taken on board the New York, which came up an hour after the Brooklyn and Oregon had completed the capture of the Cristobal Colon. The latter was nof seriously damaged, though she was struck several times by shots from the Brooklyn and Oregon.

During the chase a clever manouvre of Commodore Schley's in heading due west to Cape Caney, while the Cristobal Colon had taken a more southerly direction with a much greater distance to cover, rendered the Spaniard's escape impossible.

There seems to bo no doubt that the Cristobal Colon, and, perhaps, the other three Spanish armored cruisers would have escaped had it not been for the prompt action of Commodore Schley.

The Brooklyn, his flagship, alone was in position to attack the Spanish vessels as they left the harbor and the commodore steamed directly toward them and engaged all four cruisers, inflicting great damage upon them.

The Oregon was first to join the Brooklyn, and afterward the Iowa, Indiana, Texas and Yixen closed around the Spaniards, all pouring in a deadly fire, hut from the beginning to the end of the fight the Brooklyn, Oregon and Gloucester took the most important part in the destruction of the enemy.

One man, Gee. Heurv Ellis, was killed nn board the Brooklyn, His head was blown oil by a shell.

Oue other man, J. Burns, was injured on board of her. The Brooklyn was struck half a dozen times, but no injury was done to any of the other American ships.

It speaks volumes for Paine's celery compound that of all the many women who ha^e recovered health oy its means very many were induced to take it through the persuasion of other women—sisters, mothers or friends.

When a sick and feeble sufferer is seen to gain steadily in health and vigor from taking Paine's celery compound no room for doubt is left for the most stubborn-minded person. The joyous transformation from sickness to health is going on in thousands of homes this spring.

Here is the experience—like that of hundreds of others—of Mrs. R. H. S

Iliads: 135 N St., N.W.,Washington, D. Wells, Richardson & Co.:

Gentlemen—Paine's celery compound was recommended to my husband by hi6 father, who told him to have me try it, for with other remedies I did not seem to be getting better. I was suffering from nervousness, and my baby seemed to nurse it from me, as she did not sleep more than 15 to 20 minutes at any time. I also suffered from indigestion and torpid liver. I find that Paine's celery compound not only comes up to what you say, but that it is, without doubt, the best tonic and remedy for women. I do

not think it can be recommended too highly. Respectfully yours MHS. R. H. S RI'I I

Mrs. Lydia M. Hayden. of Marion, Ind., writes: "Before commencing the use of celery compound I was treated by many doctors and tried many remedies, but did not get any better. I seemed to b? all broken down, I was tired ail the time and my constitution seemed to be given out. I weighed only ll."i pounds last fall when I commenced using Paine's celery compound. In lees than two months I weighed 124 pounds, an unusual weight for me. I have bad better health ever since and have felt better this summer than I have for years. "My little daughter WBB away from home on a visit and came home looking as if Bhe had had a hard spell of sickness. I went right away and got her a bottle of Paine's celery compound: and she has had better health since than she ever had in her life, eats hearty and is growing fat

No woman in any way out of health can in justice to herself and family fail to take Paine's celery compound when its power of restoring health is so abundantly proved.
