Another steamship, racing through the fog off the Newfoundland banks, has gone to the bottom, carrying hundreds of men, women and children to death. La Bour- Bogne, a magnificent vessel, carrying a large passenger list, has been swallowed up by the sea as a result of the faithful following of the theory that it is safer for these great liners to be driven through the fog banks at top speed than to creep through them slowly, on the assumption jon occurs the vessel that headway escapes with the The theory is disproved by this ewent.

General Shafter’s Fourth of July remarks at Santiago were short end to the point. soe Hobson's Exchange.

Over- > this end were immediately opened 83 was at first promised. Then ubts, followed in turn by the per- sal of the Spanish govern- change, announced by Captain nco at Havana. No definite on was stated officially from the Span- orities, although it was intimated Micially that Hobson was to be kept because it would be unwise to permit him to return to the American lines after he hod had an opportunity to observe the con- dition of affairs within the city. This ex- planation was accepted. It had to be ac- cepted. No general cartel for the exchange of prisoners had been arranged and there was no recourse for this government but to = " “--=pointment, Now Admiral j than that alleged. Blanco, it now appears, Cervera, one of the highest officers in the Spanish navy, and, according to reports, of true royal blood, has been taken pris- oner, together with several other officers of rank and a large number of seamen. Spain changes her tune. She concludes that Hobson had not seen enough inside the city, after all, to harm her cause by revealing it to his superiors upon his re- turn. Is it possible that Spain thinks Cer- vera is worthy of the sacrifice of Hobson's release, which, she feared at one time, would inspire the Americans to great en- thusiasm? Will Cervera’s return, after his disastrous sortie, do as much for the Span- ish populace? The pretense about Hob- son's knowledge of the sftuation in the city is absurd, anyway. He was doubtless taken immediately to a cell, from which he could see little or nothing of value or significance. His observations during the few weeks of his confinement at Santiago have presumably been of the narrowest possible range, and, if revealed to the blockaders, would hardly aid them to the least degree. The American commanders have learned far more of the situation within the besieged city by spies and from balloons than Hobson could observe there if he were kept prisoner a year. He has not been walking around the forts, count- ing the guns and measuring their caliber, or enumerating the forces in the barracks or the trenches, or estimating the food sup- plies, or locating the water mains, or doing the other numerous things that a clever spy is expected to do in time of war. “tence the suspicion that his detention after ervera’s promise. that he would be ex- changed was inspired by some other reason ordered Cervera to make his dash. He is said recently to have expressed his anger at Cervera because the latter did not make his way originally to Havana instead of to antiago, and he has sneered at his ability. Blanco’s action negativing Cervera’s offer to exchange Hobson may have been merely a feature of the controversy between the two men. Whatever the cause of the pre- vious refusal, this nation rejoices that Spain is now willing to exchange the hero of the Merrimac for another prisoner and that it is likely to have the opportunity to welcome back the brave young man who startled the world by his daring exploit. Uncle Sam No Quaker. Immediately after the performance of the Oregon—the making of a thirteen-thousand- mile trip without accid2nt or delay—the builder of that splendid ship started for Eu- rope. It was reported that he had been summoned to Russia for consultation about a large order to be placed by the naval au- thorities of that-ewitry. This was denied, but it was admitt:d that the ship's record had made such a stir in Europe that her iui pers that orders were to be had there and e had gone over to get th m. Immediately after the destruction of Ad- tiral Cervera’s ships the Berlin corre- pondent of the London Daily Mail sends his paper the following: “Phe battle of Santiago is considered to have proved the of American armor plating an and it be- lieved that in the future European nations wiil give larger orders to American makers for armor, guns and the like." Here, now, is food for reflection, The great nations of the earth, although heay- ily armed at sea, are adding to their equip- ment. Great Britain, Russia, Germany and France are not yet strong enough. The rac for commercial supremacy is growing hotter all the time and more exacting of those who expect to remain in it.

The Navy Department is planning to send a naval constructor to the shores of Cuba west of Santiago to inspect the wrecks of the Spanish cruisers to ascertain if they can be saved and added to the United States navy. If General Shafter succeeds in promptly occupying Santiago he may find just the man for this work in one of the military prisons. Hobson would doubt- jess like nothing better than to show his skill in the line of saving as well as in that of making wrecks. eg The coolness between Cervera and Blanco «ms to be due to the admiral’s failure to uade the United States to use up all ammunition on him. —_~-++____ Madrid statisticians will, of course, set dewn the destruction of Spanish ships in danger of being captured as clear losses to the American uavy. so On thinking the situation over, the aver- age Spanish soldier prefers falling into American hands as a prisoner to going back home. —_———_seo———_— ‘The ease with which Cervera sailed past the Merrimac does not affect the fact that the sinking of the boat was a plucky ex- rloit. and by it —————-+ ee —____ The German emperor refuses to come away from the verge of war. ——— _ -e «= ____ Street ©: and the Right of Way. A New York justice, in deciding a recent case tried on appeai before his court, put a quietus upon the doctrine that cable and other rapid transit cars traversing the city have an >xclusive right of way through the streets, The case in point involved the question of whether a wagon could lawfully he driven across street car tracks in front of an approaching cable car. It was shown that the wagon was upon the tracks ahead of the car, and that th2 latter, by exercise of due diligence by the gripman, could have been stopped in time to prevent the collis- ion that formed the basis of the suit for damages. The company claimed that th? ear had the right of way and that the wagon should have been held until the ear bad cleared. The deciding justice held that such a doctrine would*tend-to divide th> city into practically impassable zones bounded by rapid transit routes, the wagons and pedestrians passing from one to an- other only at their own peril and without right. Such a theory, he believed, was un- r2asonable, and the right of way was to be held by the vehicle or person first arriving at the point of crossing. This principle of universal right of way may ‘cause some les- sening of the ultimate speed performances of the str2et cars, but it assuredly tends to equalize more nearly the privileges of the street users and it should in practice, if supported by the courts, operate to reduce th2 dangers of the modern use of the thor- oughfare. Locally the problem is as yet in- mgnificant save at @ very few points. A new law has just been put upon the local Statute books that should give the street users greater saf2ty, In the act relating to the Belt company appears a paragraph au- tLorizing the Commissioners to employ spe- cial policemen for duty at street railway crossings, to be paid by the companies op- erating the crossing lin2s. This will serva to reduce the danger of collisions at cross- ings between the cars themselves and also to regulate the relations at those points be- tw2en the cars and the ordinary traffic of the streets. The principle involved in the New York decision affects a somewhat dif- ferent problem, however, for much of the trouble over th: right of way across tracks occurs elsewhere than at track intersections and there is as a rule no possible umpire such as a watchman or policeman conyen-, iently at hand to give prompt decisions on such questions. Th: New York case should be borne in mind, for it will serve undoubt- edly to check a custom that may even here Srow Into a serious abuse and danger, whereby gripmen and motormen use th2ir fast and heavy motors to clear the tracks of all crossing obstacles, or to frighten would-be crossers from attempting this feat, even when the latter ar2 rightfully entitled to the way. —>+2—____ De Lome has some slight cause for con- sratulation in comparirg his fate with that of Du Bosc, ——2 +2 —_____ Commodore Schley’s name is likely to be- come especially conspicuous by its omis- sion. —_——++2____- Cervera’s cablegram will be carefully censored to keep Spanish victories out of it. ———_+-+2—____ SHOOTING STARS.

From the New York Herald. vest, brow is use Mr. W. R. Hearst, a conspicuous citizen of New York, prints over his own signa- ture the shocking charge that forty Span- ish prisoners of war were turned over by our troops at Caney to the Cubuns, who proceeded to murder thet This statement Mr. Hearst publishes as made to him at Siboney by one of hi correspondents, a man named Laine, ways alert to the demands of his newspa- per, but before that—before every other consideration—he is a Cuban soldier.” Mr. Hearst says this gentleman found the body of General Vara del Rey upon the battlefeld, and describes how “Laine beamed the joy he felt as he tapped his camera and exclaimed, ‘I have here a photograph of him just as the were flying from his body.’ ” same gentleman's statem leged murder of prisoners narrated by Mr. Hearst 1 found a Spanish prisoner and told him to go to the blockhouse and tell those in- side thet the Americans were about to fire a dynamite gun at them and they had best surrender. Forty of them came out, and the Americans kindly turned them over to ue for the Cubans. His eyes hed. nd what did you d6 with them? He sniffed contemptuously: “We cut their heads off, of course.” Such an appalling violation of the rules of civilized warfare would seem incredible, but being made in cold type by a citizen as conspicuous as Mr. Hearst, and on the au- thority of a man in his own service, whom he vouches for as “of generous and gra- cious impulses,”’ it calls for prompt investi- gation by the government. The imputation upon our own galiant troops and the direct charge of savagery against their Cuban al- Hes are too horrible to be given broadcast to the world unchallenged. 3 0 A Significant Silence, From the New York Mail and Express, ‘The silence of Col.
