WOEFULLY OUTCLASSED.
Of the Spaniards Admiral kelson
aid : uIn tiroes of peace tlicy are
gnat braggadocios; in times of war
cowards but great thieves all the
tine."
Official thievery is tLe tuberculo
sis which has been eating at Spain's
-vitals for centuries. It is the direct
cause of Spain's present exhaustion
ftBd bankruptcy. Official thievery in
cited the Cuban revolution and
brought on the war with the United
SUtee. It incited the insurrection
da .the Philippines, and it will make
etty the downfall of Puerto Rico.
There is reason to believe that
through official thievery Spain's navy
is a sham. Nothing about It was
lHiilt on honor. Its ship? are plated
with weak armor, equipped with
iaferior machinery, and mounted
with dangerous -guns. Its officers
'Mid men nre unpaid and discontent'
L The money rightly theirs has
jane to officials .rascals. It(is aig.
Moant that the rallying cry of the
:fiMBiih rioters U "down with the
Htfev?."

tMt, bMd soW At .'Iti'TwdRy
M 4af arowMl 82. Ja tUe face of
ment seeks desperately for a war
loan.
Contrast this with the superb credit
of the United States. Our i per
cent b'onds command 122 A, and
bond buyers are pressing the gov
ernment for a $500,000,000 loan.
There is reason to believe the proud
boast that our warships arc the best
in the world. They are manned by
courageous crews who are well paid,
well fed awl well cared for, and
eager and impatient for sea fighting.
Against Spanish dissensions and in
trigues wc array a united and deter
mined nation.
If the war be prolonged, Spain
will be ruined. The United States
is hardly jarred by the struggle.
WE HA YE SEEN OUR DEAD.
It was doubtful judgment to srnd
the Winslow and the Hudson against
the land batteries and Spanish gun
boat of Cardenas harbor, says the
Spokane Review. They are mos
quito crafts. The Hudson is a rev
enue cutter of no fighting force to
speak of. The "Winslow is a torpedo
boat of ouly 142 tons, armed with'
torpedo tubes and one-ppnnd guns.
War craft of this description can
fight only at short range, and .should
not be sent against land batteries.
It would have been wiser to have
sent the Wilmirigton imo Cardenas
harbor alone, had that been possible.
It is a sheathed cruiser and carried a
number of medium sized guns. It
seems the Spaniards could not strike
an effective blow against the Wil
mington and centered their hot fire
on the mosquito craft. They were
keen enough to profit by the mistake
of the American commander.
It is not surprising that tbeWinslow
was disabled and six of her men
killed. The wonder is that either
the Winslow or the Hudson escaped
destruction. They were directly
within range of the enemy's fire, and
if that fire had been well directed
both would have been demolished.
It was a deed of
the little Hudson
disabled Winslow.
A -number of
superb daring for
to stay with the
reckless acts have
been indulged in by members of the
blockading squadron. Some of the
officers seerd to have been incited by
Dewey's brilliant achievement to take
all sorts of senseless, daredevil risks.
If the Cardenas engagement shall
teach these reckless officers a lesson
of .prudence, the death of six of our
brave defenders will not have been
in vain. In war times the results of
bad judgment and reckless folly are
not alwnys so light.
In loss of life the sad affair was
merely as kirmisb. If the war continue
for a year or two, we must expect
innumerable such losses. Through
out the civil war skirmishes of this
magnitude were so frequent that they
hardly received a paragraph in the
newspaper reports of the day. The
Cardenas engagement is memorable
because the nation suffered there its
first loss of the war. Spain will be
the chief looser from that cngaga
ment. To quote Kipling, we have
seen our dead, and the sight thereof
has put the stern thought of ven
geance behind every rifle and every
cannon beneath the stars and stripes.
