Says Our Navy Can Whip Any Power in Europe Londoz, July 10.—The weekly newspapers to-day, in discussing the war, all pay glowing tributes to the American navy. Even the Saturday Review says: “It is impossible to not feel a certain pride in these achievements of men of our own race. Every Englishman, too, will remember that it was the possession of this eames quality, the fine marks manship, which the Americans dis- played, which gaye us victories both on land and on sea, from Crecy to the Crimea, and something peculiar and noble happened ia this fight, which showed in a far higher way the kinship between the two peoples: ‘Don’t cheer,’ shouted Capt. Philip, ‘the poor devils are dying.’ It seems to us that this expression of tender, sympathetic humanity is just as fine as the ‘kiss me, Hardy,’ of the dying Nelson.” The Spectator, in a long article on the same subject, says: ‘The first thought of all Englishmen is that the American fleet did its work splendidly. The whole performance ef Admiral Sampson's fleet was in ac cordance with the best traditions of Anglo Saxon navies, and every Eng- lishman has read of their doings with a flush ef pride. There was the same old hard pounding as the Elizabethan seadogs used; the same curious mixture of steadiness, dar ing, coolness and reckless dash. The moral aspect of what was almost the tirst and what may be the last fleet action between the Spanish and English races is very much alike. In both cases it was the man behind the gun who, in the last resort, wou the battle. The battle shows that the American navy is a most eflicient fighting machine. We did not need to be told that here. We knew it already, and realized of what stutf the lion’s whelps are made. “They, however, did not know it on the continent, though they ap- parently know it now. For ourselves, we have little doubt that the Ameri- can fleet could face even that of France without any great risk of disaster in spite of the fact that by the rules the French fleet is ten times stronger. We believe this could be done if it were needful, but it won't be, as America won't be attacked by France without our taking a hand in the game. Sampson, Dewey and the officers they have to destroy French ships of vastly superior power, just as we did 100 years ago. As for the German and American navies, there can, of course, ba no comparison. The Germans are fine sailors and brave men, but a naval struggle between | the United States and Germany| would be very short and complete.” | The Speaker says: “The greatest | credit is due to the American navy | for the manner in which this opera-| tion has been carried out.

Beside her, on a low wooden stool, was seated a maiden of such extraordinary beauty that looking at her I remembered no longer my hunger, but only the disorder of my attire. She was dressed in a peasant’s costume, but the eoftness of her skin the whiteness of her hands, the grace of her bearing, all told me it was no peaeant I gazed upon. So I took out a pocket-comb and swall hand mirror which I carried with me, and going toward the candle endeavored to remedy to some extent the defects in my ap- pearance. “I pereeive sir,” she éaid, you belong to the court.” “It is true, madam, that I have the honor and privilege to attend upon His Majesty. May I, in turn, be pardoned for saying that I dis- cern you are not such as it would seem you desire to appear?” “Nay, sirrah, I am a peasant, as you perceive.” This I did not believe, nor could I be wholly sure that she wished to be believed. The old woman placed the savory mess upon the table, accompanying the action with many apologies for the homeliness of the fare, which in jtruth, were unneeded, for I set to something | upon me for I found a most useful ally in brave lady who had much interest in the struggle. displayed so| jE f ing on the fire ard with a quick movement poured the whole of the scaldipg contents into the face of the sergeant. Her turned on his heel and, fol lowed by the disarmed trooper, went |? rapidly from the house, using as he did so many ungodly words such ag I trow he had never found in the prayer book. “Sir, I pray you lose not a mo- ment, but depart forthwith, for I fear me yon sergeant will most surely return.” “Nay, fair lady,” I answered, “I depart not alone; for if I mistake not, this same fellow went offina worse humor at thy greeting than at mine.” “Most yalliant gentleman,’ she said, “I will tell you who I am and whence I come, and why you find me here.
