LONDON, June 17.—The Gibraltar corre- spondent of the Daily News says: “There is great indignation here at the American threat to bombard Cadiz. As for the rumor that Spain has sold the Philip- pines to Germany, there have been so many irregularities in the war that one more would not matter. So the Spaniards say. “The German view given vent to here is this: President McKinley never wanted the war, nor did any member of his cabinet want it. It was the politicians, the job- bers behind the scenes and some phi thropists, who dragged the President into the war, and have forced him as far as he has gone. The taking of Manila by the Germans would enable him to say to the war party: ‘What did I tell you? Are we going to try conclusions with the Germans, the and probably the Frencn? 1 throw the development of the United States back too far to do so.’” eae ae Trained To the Editor of ‘Ibe Evening Star: I wish to call the attention of the general public to the need of trained nursing for the sick who have not been wounded in bat- tle. So much has been said and written to the care of the sick and wounded, and any plans have been made to meet this d, that it may seem unn wary to say anything more on the subj yet from the state of affairs at one place alone—Camp Aiger—(for I am only writing of what I know) it does seem that the problem has not been solved. It is the universal opinion among me men that trained nurses are a nec adjunct of all properly managed hospitals. Yet this is one thing that our government refuses to make any provision for. Now, trained nurses, as a rule, enter the profession as a means of livelihood, and the few who have any income apart from their professional one, are rare and shining exceptions to the rule, go it will be seen that they cannot be pfilanthropists and give their time and services with no other reward than an approving consciousness of having labored for suffering humanity. Surgeons are paid, hospital stewards are paid, even the poor private is rewarded (often not) according to his work. If all that has been said on the subject can be taken in sober earnest, nurses are as nece: sary in saving life as either surreons hospital stewards. Why is not something done to furnish nursing to the men, who, though they have not been in battle, have entered the service of their country, and at least deserve the best of care when sick. At Camp Alger have been seen men suffering from measles, with high temperature and profuse rash, sitting up in heavy clothing, with coats on. Do you think such would be the case were even one trained nurse in charge of that hospital? The D. A. R. agreed to furnish trained nurses as the government called on them to do so, they (the D. A. R.) paying each one $30 a'month. They now call for volunteers to go to the hospital at Norfolk ‘with no remuneration beyond expenses. Do you be- lieve that reliabie nurses, in good standing, can afford to do this, to give up the clien- tele that they have worked to obtain since their graduation, any more than a surgeon will leave his practice without adequate re- ward? It may be presumed that all camps have the same need as Camp Alger, and though we may not be stirred up to de- mand better care until some one belonging to ourselves falls sick and we realize what | is lacking, the need is surely great now, and should be remedied at once.

Church, and the auditorium was beautifully decorated with palms, potted plants, eut flowers and American flags. At 11 o'clock in the morning Rev. R. W. Todd, D. D., of Baltimore, a member of the Bible Society, preached a sermon, taking as his subject “Growth.” The educational collec- tion was taken by the pastor, Dr. E. D. Huntley, and amounted to over $100. In the evening the church was crowded with the children of the Sunday school and their parents. The following program, in charge of T. B. Stahl, chairman of the committee, was rendered: Singing by the school, pray- er by the pastor, Dr. Huntley; introductory address, by Roland Finney; recitation, Ruth Sniffin; recitation, by Guy Spring; song, by infant class; recitation, Florence Jenkins; recitation, Ross Hunter; introduc- tion to ‘pictures, by Mr. G.

OFFICERS CHAFING AT ENFORCED DELAY The Merrimac. The Cruiser Aba Almost Com- pleted and Ready for Sea. Sa AUXILIARY CRUISER DIXIE Special Dispatch to The Evening Siar. NORFOLK, Va., June 16.—The United States cruiser Cincinnati, which has just returned from the blockading squadron at Havana and the northern coast of Cuba, is in dry dock at the navy yard here, receiv ing repairs that have long been needed. When the Cincinnati was placed in dock there was marine growth on her bottom scme two feet in length, which greatly in- terfered with her speed. The rapidity of this growth In southern waters is remark- able, and it is the general belief here that the ships of Admiral Sampson’s squadron and those of the flying squadron under Commodore Schley have become very foul during their stay in Cuban waters and will scon be in the same condition the ships of Admiral Cervera appeared to be when they were last seen at Curacao. It has been many months since any of the ships were in dry dock, and conse- quently there is little doubt’ that marine growth is in plenty on all of them. The captains of the different ships keep them clean comparatively by sending divers down occasionally with scrapers. This method of cleaning the bottom is not at all satisfactory, however, and unless the ships of the Cuban squadrons are soon docked and thoroughly cleaned, their speed will drop considerably and their fighting qualities be diminished. When Commodore Schley’s fleet left the anchorage opposite Fort" Monroe in Hampton Roads several of the ships were fcul with marine growth, as has already -been stated. Since their stay in Cuban waters it is knowa that this growth has considerably increased, and there has beea little possible chance fcr the ship commanders to send down divers for scraping purposes. The Lack of Dry Docks. Admiral Sampson's fleet has been longer in Cuba than the one under Schl2y, and his ships have consequently been longér de- rrived of docking facilities, and it is be- lieved that his squadron’s speed has been greatly reduced by this condition of af- fairs. Naval officers, while reticent and guarded in their remarks concerning any department of the service, declare that this cendition of affairs has been forese2n all aiong. and that the failure of the govern- ment authorities to provide mor Iry docks for naval purposes along the coast is nothing short of the most damaging negli- gence. Both dry docks at the Norfolk navy yard hav» been in sconstant use since the preparation for hostilities began, several months ago. One of the larger ships is usually accommodated in the stone dock, the smaller of the two, while the large tim- ber dock, one of th# best on the coast, has been almost continuously occupied by two of the smaller craft composing the mos- quito fleet and auxiliary ships of all types. The private dry dock at Newport News has aiso done yeoman service for th> United States in this predieament, providing the only adequate decking facilities on the At- lantic coast for such large ships as the cruisers St. Paul, St. Louis, Harvard and Yale. Overhauling the Cincinnati. The Cincinnati. will remain in dock for some tim2, and will not bp ready for serv- ice, unless emergency requires, for s>veral weeks yet.

He now has the rank of lieutenant in the navy. ‘The Newark Nearly Completed. The cruiser Newark is almost completed, and her complement of men and officers is rapidiy being augmented and she will be fully manned before the end of the week. The Newark has been overhauled and re- newed from the poop-deck to engine. room and double bottom since she came to the yard, and when she steams down to Cuba in a few days will be one of the fittest ships in the entire navy. “It is possible that she may await the Cincinnati, but this is doubtful, as ships are needed both at San- tlago and in the blockading fleet. The Newark has received Ler coat of lead paint. The dull gray color has been spread over every visible object—guns, funnels and fighting tops included—the only relief being in the-gilded shield on the bow and the letters formitg her rame on the stern, which are likewise emblazoned in gold. The Newark was once a square-rigged ship, but she now has two military masts, and her efficiency has been greatly enhanced. ‘There are colliers and small boats galore at ghe navy yard and the workmen's ham- mefs make a continuous din throughout the yard.

SS The “End-Seat Hog.” To the Editor of The Evening Star: The appeal made by the press to the ladies against the high hat in the theeter has been successful. At pregent, the ladies ere considerate of the comfort of other persons at all public assemblies. It was only necessary to call their attention to the inconvenience caused by their pyra- midal head dresses; and their inborn kind- ness and courtesy did the rest. But the crusade against the “end-seat hog’ is not apparently making any pro- gress. Men are the offenders; and their bad habits are not easily changed. They seize on the end seats in the street rail- way cars. At Glen Echo, at the close of the theatrical performance, when the re- turn cars approach the entrance, there is a mad rush of young men for the end seats. They spring upon the running board while the car is in motion, at the risk of their limbs, and occupy ail the end seats before the cars stop. Last night, when the 11 o'clock Glen Echo cars rea ed the Chevy Chase rcad, the next Chevy Chase s were full and made no stop. Thereupon the crowd made a run for the Chevy Chase post office stat half a mile off. When the next two-car train for the city stopped there, or before it stopped, there was a frantic rush for seats. Hats and bonnets were knocked off and trodden under foot, ribbons were torn off, gewns ripped and weak persons were bruised. Some ladies took part in the melee and were hot and breathless after they got their seats. Why all this hurry? The crowd had come up from Glen two cars and the two Chevy C! “rs were large enough to take them all in. But the “end-seat hog” would not have got what they wanted. Every man of them elbowed ard pushed, crowded, rushed and d until he got the end seat and then son to it like grim death, forcing ybody else, ladies included, to press by him to the damage of their gowns. I have traveled in foreign countries, but have noi seen anything resembling the Amcrican rush for the end seat. ‘The remedies proposed do not seem to satisfactory.

A reason as- signed for the American mania for end , in case of fire or collision, another is that the per- it are shop-keepers’ clerks sand the loss of a second might cause the loss of their places; and a third is, that they are coarse, selfish and brutal, without any consideration for the comfort of other pecple. If the third ascn is the true one, then our preachers and public school teachers should be re quired to teach the rules of politeness in public conveyances and assemblies. June 15, 1898.

Manila Reported to Be at the Mercy of Its Enemies. LONDON, June 17.—The Madrid corres pondent of the Standard says: “The news from Manila is most unfavor- able and has made a corresponding impres- sion. Serious misgivings are felt regarding the fate of Gen. Monet, at the head of a strong column operating at some distance from the ccast. “It is said that many foreign residents, with their families and valuables. have taken refuge on British, French and Ger- man war vessels, while others have left f« ina and Japan. ‘The Madrid press expresses surprise that the archbishop of Manila should have left the city at such a moment, unle: true that he wishes thereby to signify his disapproval of the reforms Captain Gen- eral Augtsti has promised the natives in the hope of checking the spread of the in- surrection. Most of the papers express. a fear that the next news will be of th of Manila. “The whole question in the ey Spaniards is whether Admiral Dewey can prevent Aguinaldo from pushing on hos tilities against Manila until the Ameri reinforcements arrive, since otherwise supposed he will have to allow war vessels to co-operate in thi task of maintaining order and ng Ma- nila from the excesses of the insurgents. “Very noticeable today is the fact that the expectations ef German intervention are subsiding, though there is a deal of comment on the e German naval force collected at Ma’ —s SPANISH TROOPS ARE HUNGRY. ‘ved Deserter Comes in to |.
