Cl fall to cure, druggists refund soon** ■ HONEST MXN AT THIGUNI. /, Englishman Ara Still Drawing Lm sods from the Santiago Victory Morality counts in fighting like everything else. Your honest man is a belter mao—in all things—than a rogue According lo the tealimoLy of one of the officers of the Spanish flsat, ths crew of the Cristobal Colon were mainly c>»'ivicl», taken out of jail and l<>iusl»ty pat aboard the ship just before she sailed from Spain Is it to be supposed for one minute tbpl men of thia elamp could stand up be fore American sailors—sailors because they love Jheir work and glory in their country? Ahother Spanish officer is authority for the statement that liquor was plentifully served to all the crews before the ships left Santiago harbor, and that a great many of the men were drank. Drunken convicts pittad against sober, cool-headed American freemen! Is it surprising that in sixty minutes Oervera’s fleet was a mass of twisted steel and iron, while the American squadron bad passed through its ordeal unscathed? We have been finding explanations for the marvelous "hitting qualities’’ of the American gunners, as demon strated both at Manila and Santiago. One, to me the simplest, has been overlooked. There are very few American naval commanders who have hsd much experience in fleet work. American squadrons have rarely con sisted, since the close of the civil war and until the commencement of pres ent hostilities, of more than three or four vessels, and these have generally been scattered over the station. There has been practically no op portunity lor fleet evolutions, for the intricate maneuvers which distinguish European navies. In their place, American commanders have devoted their time to gun drill, to eub-caliber and target practice, with the one end in view of bringing their men to the highest state of proficiency as gunners. Probably in fleet tactical evolutions the American admiral might be at a disadvantage, but in gunnery be has shown the world what be can do. Another thing we have been taught is the uselessness of the conning tows er. It csnnot be ascertained that * single commanding officer availed himself of the protection of his armor ed citadel. The epace is too narrow to permit a captain to see everything happening around him, and in action the commander’s vision must not be narrowed. Perhaps even a stronger objection to the use ol the conning tower is the implied reflection it con* veys on the courage ol the command ing officer. The men must stand in open, the captain is safe behind bis steel walls. The sight of the captain standing on the bridge or pilot bouse, seeing and seen by his msn, encourag ing them by bis presence, sharing with them the risks, ie an inspiration, an incentive to greater deeds. Would Nelson be the glorified figure of bisto ry if he had been shot while telegraph ing to the engine room from the cons ning tower? Farragut laehed to the rigging made even thelimidesta hero, in comparative safety behind hie belt ed walls the inspiration of his presence would have been lost —London Chron icle 1100 Seward SIOO.
