B»mpson, the Shyster
If ao/thing further thau his first
announcement of the destruc
tion Ms Cervera’a fleet were
needed to prove that Sampson ia a
shyster of the first rank, bis official
report, which was made public yea
terday, coms* as full and sufficient
confirmation.
It is in marked contrast to the re
ports of Dewey and of Bchley. These
last could afford to be modest and
magnanimous, and they were But
what of BampsooT os might have
been expected, after hie first cable*
gram presenting the nation his**Fourth
ol July present,” be not only pule
himself forward in the whole report,
but he repeatedly asserts that the
, thing couldn't have happened but for
hie wisdom and foresight; bis arrange
ment of the fleet, hie signals (which
were too far away to ba »<fon) directing
f the battle. Buch egotism, such sel
fishness, such vulgar asaumption has
never before disgraced the American
navy, it ia to be hoped that Sampson
will go to history as the last Os ble
kind —the last to gain promotion over
his superiors through a political pull,
and the last to emphasise the serious
ness of such mistakes—not tff say of
ficial outrage.
i Sampson shows the smallness, even
the coarseness of bis nature by bis
i refusal to give Schley credit for even
half that be must have done jn order
to survive the conflict
Although Schley's own flagship, the
Brooklyn, did most of the fighting and
was, as has been admitted, the main
target for the Spaniards’ guar, Samps
eon, fearing that too much "honor for
Bcbley will detract from himself, bare
ly mentions the Brooklyn’s marvelous
• work, but makes a desperate effort to
, overshadow her with the Oregon and
I Gloucester, and even his own flagship
—more than ten miles away.
) His report disgraces the navy, dis*
t honors himself and is a direct affront
to the intelligence of the American
people. It more than emphasises the
’ man’s unfitness for the exalted posi-
Ilion which be now holds. It aggra
vates the offense committed when he
was promoted over his superiors; put
ahead of men who ranked him both in
point of service and in ability.
1 But, withal, it serves to accomplish
1 just the opposite of what was intend
ed—it proves, beyond further doubt,
that the credit belongs to Schley and
that Simpson knows it. And it also
emphasises the nobleness of Schley's
nature and his course in this matter
as compared with Sampson's.—Macon
News.

Southern Troops for Porto Rico*
It looks now as if some ol the South
ern regiments would have a chance to
see aelive service. It is regarded as
quite certain that the Second Georgia,
now at Tampa, will form part of Gen.
Miles' force for the capture of Porto
Rioo, and it ia probable that the First
Georgia, as well as the First Florida,
will also form a part of the Porto Bico
expedition.
All of these regiments are anxious
for active service. They were greatly
disappointed because they were not
included in the Santiago expedition.
Perhaps, however, they do not regret
it so much new, since the fever has
appeared among the troops in Cuba.
Soldiers don’t fear bullets as much as
they do disease.
A good many of the Southern tn tops
have felt that the government wa» not
dealing justly with them—was hold -
ing them bock while the soldiers fjrotn
the North were given a Chance to dis
tinguish themselves at tha front. That
feeling was nakiral. It is appaitent,
however, that the government baa. not
intentionally diecrimiuated ag iinst
the Southern soldiers.
Only a few regiments of
wont to Santiago. It was axitected
that the fighting there would De done
chiefly by the regulars. The volun
teers which were eenL were wjuo the
beet equipped end drilled in tbw ser
vice They were cnoeeo for that
reason.
In this connection the Greentilte, 8.
C., News says that when the war began
the south was practically without well
organized and well drilled regiments.
On the other hand the north had many
regiments which were prepared to
take the field at once. The northern
states being richer have provided lib
erally for their militia.
The south had a great many mili
tary organizations,but she was lack
ing in full, well drilled and well equip
ped regiments. The southern troops,
therefore, were held back until Ibey
could be prepared for service at the
front.
It ia probable that they will see ac
tive service enough if the peace nego
tiations fall through. Havana would
have to be taken. Tbdt would be the
great event of the war and the South
ern soldiers would be given an oppor
tunity there to add to the story of
their section of the country and of the
nation —Savannah News.
