Imidlanapolls News. One Graham , an ox-member of I'arlia- macnt , says that Dewey's ships were manimed by English gtmnmmers , ntmd that time deadly no- curacy of their fire was duo to that fact. This is a novel theory , but like many theories , there arc things that it does not explain. It does not account for the gun practice of the American seamen in the war of 1812. for- those ships , as well asniany llritiah ships of that day , were manned by Americans. Nor does it account for the wonderful work done by Sampson's ileet in its fight agslnst Cervera , No doubt we have some timings to learn from Emmghaimd , but the art of shooting straight Is not one of them , This war Is being fought by Anmerlcana , ammtl they era doing good work , Graham is entitled to the credit of having perpetrated - trated the boat joke of time year. hOllies' Uceonming Coiinet. Chicago Chronicle , Whatever may be the outcome of the Santiago - tiago business , General Miles has done himself - self credit by hIs attitude since ho arrived on the scene. lie has carefully avoided anything - thing that savored of an attempt to deprive General Shafter of his laurels and he has refrained from interference with that em- cer's plans. Ho has kept in the backgrotmnd as far as possible ntmd has borne himself throughout with a modesty and good taste which were all the more gratifying because they wore not altogether expected , We arc encouraged to believe that when General Miles assumes command of the Porto Rico expedition he will make for himself a record which will warrant the bestowal upon him of time coveted lieutenant generalship. The comnmander who awards full credit to his subordinates Is very apt to be a mau who Is deserving of credit himself. Concernhimg the Cuban. , New York Tribumme. We must neither believe nor reject au the stories we bear of time ferocity and barbarity of the Cubans when they have their Spanish foes In their power. They are of the same blood ntl native Instincts , and have bitter enough memories to inspire - spire the rage of reprisal ; but It. would probably be a great Injustice to aet them au down as savages , torturers of the living - ing and nuitilators of the dead. The truth about them Is ilmot they nrc mixed lot , capable of soaking up a good deal of regeneration - generation before they reach angelic stand- ards.

There Is comething peculiarly fitting in the gathering of this Influential republican organizatIon right In the heart of the cue- my's country , It is there that Its go.d work is most needed , and it Is timere , If we may judge from recent evidences of veering sentiment in the great west , that Its influence will be nmost felt. There are few outside of time blind leaders of time lost cause who do not see that the free eilvcr heresy has run its course.

Its extent and beauty are too well known to require any new description. Its importance from a naval and military standpoint is of the high. cat order Whoever holds that harbor corn- mnands eastern Cuba. The harbor is to emistera Cuba what tIme harbor of Havana is to western Cuba. It is the key to the district at all times , The Morro and La Socapa forts , it modernized , can make for any fleet time entrance to its harbor an liii- possibility. As a coaling station , as a refuge in the hurricane season , its perfectly landlocked harbor holds first rank. Tlmat olul-time city , properly fortified , could bid defiance to many a modern power. Other noted deep water harbors are Cluantanarno , fifteen miles long and well Sheltered ; Port Bscondido or Hilden liar- hot' , fifteen miles east of Santiago ; Ports Mata , llama , i3aracno , liaiquira , and Meil bay , all situated to afford shelter from storms and susceptible of being developed into important slmipping ports. Port Tan- aino is the port where tIme east line of ceded territory terminates , It is a port of considerable - siderablo extent , though studded with small Islets , between which are deep channels. The cut through the reef and the channel into the port are both very narrow , and therefore difficult to be navigated by big ships , but the dangers are easily seen and can be avoided and the harbor is safe from winds. There appears to be little life or cultivation hereabouts and nothing of value to be obtaIned , but the place might be made of importance if necessary. Santiago is the duet city of the province. Before the war It had a population of 71- 000 , of whom more than three-fourtlms were Spanish negroes and their descendants , the whole being the descendants of the Aferican slaves sold in Cuba , the last of whom were freed about twelye years ago. The black element in eastern Cuba Is in a vast ma- jorlty. Some thousands of the whites hitherto have been Spanish officers and soldiers , and the rest merchants and plant- era. While the majority are of SpanIsh or Cubamm descent , many are English , French , Germans and Americana , Many Spanish officers married Cuban wives , and many upoa retiring on their pOn8iOns settled in Cuba and became land owners and planters , The city of Santiago during the rains is almost cut off front the interior , save by a short and unimportant section of railway. It communicates by sea with neighboring ports oim time island , and ships to the world without sugar , coffee , dye amid other woods , iron ore , imianganese , anti fruits. To that outer world the city looks for Its daily bread , foodstuffs , canned goods , and the ar- tides of every-day life and commerce.
