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 ,

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.

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. Under Spaln'a rule they have never
had the least chance. Hereafter they are
likely to Improve. There is plenty of room
for Improvement and the world at large
will watch their efforts in this direction
with much Interest. .

The harbor of Santiago do Cuba is one o
the largest in the West Indies. 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.

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

landlocked harbor holds first rank. Tlmat

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 ,
