In the light of recent events it Is evident tist the failure of ilobsoa's exploit contrib. uhich to time fall of Santiago. It the iderri- mac had been sunk as intended the channel would have been blocked and Cervera could riot have made time sortie which resulted in his annihilation. And with the Spanish fleet In the harbor the resistance of SantIago couid have been-and probably would tiara been-Indefinitely prolonged , Therefore , while giving due credit to the men who tool : the Merrirnac Into the harbor , we must account - count It fortunate that their expedition was a failure , It wag an exhibition of eplendid bravery , but a more than doubtful piece of strategy-a combination not infrequent in "forlorn hopes" and simIlar exploits , where heroism is usually exercised without result.

That means that the American squadron was lucid back by fear of what It thought might be there , Instead of what vas there , In other words , the Spaniards put tip a successlul bluff on Sampson , It was the kind of a bluff that Dewey cahiel at Manila. Boston Globe : The ineffectiveness of naval attacks upon land fortifications has recolvual still another proof In the discovery of the trlviai jesuits of our bombardnuents ot time forts around Santiago harbor , This lesson marks a limItation for the fleet wlmichm the goveranment Is equipping for an aggressive niovemeuut upon Spain. Commodore Watson , therefore , is not likely to make Spuunishm for- tlflcatjons the object of his aesnuit. Chicago Chronicle : Time official report concerning the armament of the Santiago shore batteries is umimothor proof that narni bombardments are far from effective against land fortifications , oven of a rather inferior character. Sampson's squadron haS hurlc.t tons of steel against time SantIago batteries withotmt perceptible result , and it now turns out that those batteries were In large inrt equipped witim obseicto and Inferior ord- nance. Morro. which was hammered a dozen ( tunes by the entire fleet , proves to have been defended by five oid-faaimtoneci G-inch muzzle loaders. In the Socapo battery - tory were two 6-inch htontorias and three useless mortars. The Estrehia battery had two 4.mnch muzzle loaders and four 3-inch field pieces , besides some mortars that acre not in condition to fire , There were two 6-Inch liontorias and two 3-inch Krupps at Punta Gorda , These , with two or three ant- chine guns of comparatively small range , constituted the entire armament of time Santiago - tiago forts. In view of these facts we many be hardened for vIewing with some doubt the iigiit nod airy program for samashming San Juan do Porto ilico at time first born- bnrdment. And It. is as certain as nnytluimmg can be that Havana is now imprcgnbie from the sea , I3oth those piaces viii have to be taken by land operations-probably by set siege. Naval guns are clearly not up to the point where they can be depended upon to reduce hand batteries. QUIt ALI4IES , TIlE CUHANS , St. Paui Pioneer Press : The Cuban patriots - triots who will neither fight nor work , and who are now disgruntled because they were not permitted to sack the city of Santiago , as they did Sibooey and El Caney , arc not going to work in preciseiy the best way to achieve satisfactory results from the war undertaken in their behalf , Philadelphia Becorml : It is said at WashIngton - Ington that l'rcsident McKinley is greatly disappointed in the mneasume of support to- ca1vd by Oenorai Shafter's army from our Cuban aihtes. The Cuban men in buckram were alwdys in stronger force at the capital than anywbero else , but there was no good reason why the president should have Ia- bored under any illusion as to theIr shadowy and Intangible quality. When the Cuban fights he prefers guerrilla methods ofvar - fare , and about the only help General Shafter could reasonably expect train such a source wouid bo help to eat up the federni army rations. Chicago Poet : Nothing more strikingiy confirms the president's wIsdom In refusing to acknowledge the Independence of Cuba , as insisted upon by the senate , than the present situation at Santiago. Had we recognized that government at WashIngton we would have been bound to recognize it at Santiago , and to give over to Its power time government of the conquered province. After our exoerience with our Cuban allies we can easily Imagine what that would have been. Happily for us and for the cause of humanity the president's foresight and firmness saved us from a reproach that would have been a stain forever.

There Is a lulling iovement about a welt suspended hammock that is Infinitely sooth- log to a tired digestive apparatus. Why blame the Cuban if he yields to nature's imperious deuuammds ?

Miiwaukeo Sentinel : It seems almost incredible - credible that these arc the same maca about whose deeds of heroism so much has been said during the last ihireo Years. Our soldiers find that they shirk both fighting anti work , but are adopts at destroying property or at plundering. It is unpleasant to comae to this realization of the worthlessness of the In- stmrgcnts , but It is Inevitable and it is veil that. they have been kept within bounds at Santiago.

A seaman was passing at the tinme ivitim a package of cigarettes in his lmand , and Palmer said : "The one who guesses the nearest to the number of 'roots' in that box goes after Hobson.

AccordIng to Davis , "General Sumner was In charge of Generai Wheeler's ( hi'ision and Colonoi Wood of time Rough RiderS was in command of General Young's brigade. All orders to advance and attack were issued by Generals Sumner and Kent. The attack itself was lcd by Generals Hawkins - ins and Sumner. Colonel Roosevelt and General Sumner met at the top of the hiil amid shook hands there. Generai Wheeler came out while the fight was on , but did not head his division to the front. I saw him just after the Sixth had placed its flag on the bIll , which it had taken , and informed him of the fact Ho was then seated with his stall and surrounded by the wounded under a large tree at time ford. " The story Is good enough to enliven future canip fires , even though its basis is shadowy. The colored troops arc receiving well amer. ited praise for their desperate fighting before - fore Santiago. "Talk about macn that. are flghters , ' writes a soldier wlmo witnessed their heroism , "youm want to see the negroes , They let out a yell and then charge and the fight is over. " The intrepid courage of time blacks will be appreciated by a brief description of one action. They were ordered - dered to take an entrenched position protected - tected by artillery and block houses , which had been subjected to no fire by our artil- hery. With a yell they responded to the order to charge , ran over ( lie open space through a plunging fire and captured the emiomy's position. SUItI1ENBEISS rtsr AND I'RESENT.
