In the Yalu River the in- equality of the two sides in character caus ed students to hesitate about drawing many inferences from it. It is true we have only emphasized the Yalu lessons in many respects, but I think we can go ahead with the two together, one checking the other, to say positively that we have learned something. To go back a bit, the Ineffectiveness of a ficet against land batteries is demonstrated, I think, by our bombardment of San Juan and Santiago. We failed to reduce their works. We silenced them all right enough. we gained in skill we were able to driv ners away very quickly. But the: e was only (emporary, even when the batteries were weak and the conditions all fave to cur ships; wkea our guns numbered twenty to one. Ex ody knows by this time that the batteries guarding Santiago harbor are on the b . Some of tnem 200 fcet above the water line. This unquestlonably makes them harder to hit, but it likewise in- creases the difficulty of their aim. We found out the difference in the iatter re- ect when the same gunners (probably) came out the ships. The first broadside from Cervera’s squadron was much more effective than the fire of the shore bat- teries, and this despite the f that the rauge during the bombardment was often less than at the opening cf the sea fight, when the Spaniards fired so well. he ability of a watchful and efficient fleet to ward off hostile torpedo boats has been fully brought out. Here we have remained for months blockading 2 port in w > were always two torpedo beats. hips lay sometimes as close in as a mile off the entrance, and several attempts were made by the destroyers to attack us. None of them got out without being seea and always they were ériven back. Our readiness was the thing. In South American wars torpedo attacks have been successful several times and the tor- pedo boats were nowhere near as swift and powerful as the Spanish destroyers Furor and Pluton. It is safe to say that we have shown that if a man-of-war !s ready at all times to open up instantly t rapid fire that ship ‘as lictle Z to fear from torpedo boats. ne rapid-fire guns a modern vessel can throw a storm of shell into an enemy.

Then, too, the light was of great service in Indicating to crews manning the guns just where to fire. Since it was an invariable er to throw the beam of a reh- e of our own vessels, there could t in the mind’ of the gun to the hostile character of the vessel.

Our repair ship Vulcan was an indispensable adjunct, and 89. of cot the ammunition supply ship. After each engagement every ship, no matter how little she used, brought her ammunition supply up to the limit. The hospital ship has to a fleet not only the obvious vse t makes it a necessity; it tha gets ovt of sight the wounded men and is a comforting thing to know is near at hand Perhaps one of the most important les- sons is the advantage of smokeless pow der. With the incessant firing of our shots there was always smoke hanging around some part of the ship’s batteries, though we had a gentle breeze and the enemy was to windward of us. Fire from the guns had to be slackened again and again, and I deubt if the Coton could have escaped with so little punishment if the smoke from the few minuies of firing at the leading ships had not left a cloud which, com- bined with the firing of the smaller quick- fire guns, prevented the pointing of the heavier guns. Of course, with a quick-fire gun any temporary lifting of the smoke will give plenty of time to deliver a fire, but with the slower firing turrent guns the view must be unimpeded for some time. | The smoke from our guns did the enemy no harm, either, as some part of the ship was almost bound to protrude, and with this assistance his guns could be laid. Both sides were even in th however, since, with the exception of the Colon, none of the Spanish ships had smokeless powder. The Colon did not have any heavy guns in her turrets, as they had not been com- pleted. Wash deck gear, it is said, filled up their turrets, but the turrets could not have been so small as that would imply. The teachings of Mahan about men were fully borne out. The great lesson of the war is the importance of the personnel. Poor men make poor ships. No matter how brave and efficient the officers may be, they cannot fight well with a poor crew. Thirty men, however alive, cannot infuse their knowledge and enthusiasm into 500 others. The officers may make the men stand up at the guns and prevent them from jumping overboard by closing the half-ports and by other means, but thi cannot cause other than real men-of-war's men to put up a good fight. No wonder that the crews of some of the Spanish ships wanted to jump overboard on com- ing out of the harbor. Ail the men were conscripts and 600 had been impressed just before the departure of the fleet from the Canaries. It is said that all the jails there were opened and the ma'efactors taken aboard the Spanish ships. You can force @ man abeard ship, but you can’t force him to fight. Our men had another advantage. The: had had gun practice. Most of the gun- ners were on personally affectionate terms with their guns, had made bull's-eyes with them and not only ached to train them on the enemy, but had such confidence in their marksmanship that fear was out of the question. The crews simply knew they cou'd lick the other fellows, and their whole ‘aterest was in their own ships, not in those of the enemy. The Spaniards are not cowards, yet their impulse from the first was to dive out of their ships. They felt sure of defeat. I value, too, the moral effect on the men of large ships. That also gives confidence. Shells and Armor. The resistance of thick armor was illus- trated in some instances. Battle is a bet- ter test than the conditions ef the proving | ground. On the Colon’s six-inch armor the nose of quite a good-stzed projectile was found sticking, and a large 12 ch common sheli had exploded on it without doing any damage. However, on the Viz- caya a large shell had entered well aft in the cabin and had passed right through, tearing off a plate on the other side: she was not armored. On the lowa iwo large shells struck well forward at the water line, but on the unarmored part of the ship. The first, a 6-inch, did not even pierce the coffer-dam, but, though it pulverized the cellulose, it is still in the cofferdam, the inner side of which it did not pene- trate. Moreover, as it did not explode, the rotating band being recovered entire, though separated from the shell. it pra- sumably was an armor-piercing shell. Surely it must have had little velocity. This is the more surprising, as the Spanish ships all had the long, high-power English guns. Still, the blow probably was ar ob- lique one. The other big shell also struck the water line, just a few feet aft of the first one, and made a Clean hole in the cof- ferdam. Striking a hatch well amidships, it exploded, but the pieces seem to have been carri:d along, most of them going through the chain locker, which is right abreast the hatch. There are seven good- sized holes through it, besides any number of dents. The chain locker happened to be empty, so the pieces passed through into the midship chain locker, where they were caught by the chain. One of them passed through the after side of the chain locker and struck the base of the turret. Most of the pieces were picked up around the deck in the immediate vicinity and fn the chain locker, showing that the force of the burst- ing charge must have been slight. One of the pieces gave the arc of the base of the shell, which proved to be a 12-inch. The ship was struck by a number of other small shells, once on a stanchion aft, prob- ably any number of times on the armor, and scars made by two small-arm bullets were discovered on the muzzle face of one of the after 12-inch guns. Everything would tend to emphasize the superiority of armored ships over unarmored ones. Such a riddliag as some of the Spanish ceived could not have been inflicted on any of our ships that were engaged. Everything goes to prove the value of the battle ship: the power they have to keep off torpedo boats and rapid-fire fusil- lade, and the confidence a battle s' in- spires in the crew, all go to show the value of the type. The importance of having no woodwork abcard and making the most perfect pro- visions against fire cannot be overesti- mated. Fire was what destroyed the Spanish fleet, and not only the fire from our ships, but that aboard their own. Now, they had little wood aboard any of the vessels, yet no one of them was under fire more than a few minutes (about fif- teen) before smoke could be seen rising from the decks. It seems even the cork paint burned. One fire on the Vizcaya Was extinguished, but others started quick- ly, both forward and aft. The water- mains were shot away, and the fight had to be given up Something must be done to protect these mains hereafter in every fighting ship. have the worst possible effect on the crew, Fire and smoke always seen from our ships it was felt that all was up with that ship, and the tendency wa to direct our gunfire on some other ship. Without an exception every ship that was on fire was soon headed in for the beach. It is a fallacy to think that fire drill is all a matter of ferm cn a steel ship. So quickly and rapidly does the fire spread that it seems that even the steel itself must be burning. The import- ance, also, of keeping watch in every com- partment for fire was shown. There was the greatest difficulty during ali the action in getting messages to und from the different parts of the ship. The noise and cencussions were too great to allow of the use of any kind of voice tubes, and messengers are slow and unreliable and in danger of being killed. A serious error was made by the messengers on one ship. An order which was intended for | the secondary battery only was taken to the turret. The messenger told the officer jin one of the twelve-inch turrets to point | on the torpedo boats and a chance at the | Colon was missed. Unless some better means of communication is invented offi- cers, shut off as they are from any direct orders, must be left to act largely at their own discretion. This at times would be most unfortunate, as in the sighting hoods of the turrets especially the view is so |limited that it is often difficult to keep | even the target in sight, much less to have the complete range over the horizon that is so necessary for proper gun control. Then, too, in case of accident, some method of reporting promptly to the captain needed. 3 This fight probably gave a severe blow to the use of conning towers. So far I can learn of no case where they were used dur- ing the engagement, the captain preferring not to cramp himself and be confined in such narrow quarters, where he could see Every one to ieiy chiefly on his eyes for a knowl- | edge of how the fight is going, anc in the conning tower the range of view is about as limited as In the sighting hood. It was also shown that a practical battle range-tinder has yet to be introduced. Those in use are so delicate that they can- not withstand the discharge of the guns. They get cut of order in action, so that the old method of angling on the masthead | height of the enemy has to be relied on. | Even the range indicators, simple as they | seem to be, vere completely thrown out by sts, and every one to a greater tent had to use his own judgment in giving the range, ang without smokeless powder the opportunities for a prompt cor- rection of range were rare. I do not think the old fork tem of establishing the range has gone out for good. A full knowledge of the nature of the blasts from the different guns is valuable to the crew, and to the designers of the ships it will be all-important. Some of the rapid-fire guns suffered so from the blasts of the turret guns that the gun crews were actually blown away from their stations. In other cases the smoke of the firing was so great that the gun pointers were blinded by it. The taste and the smell of the gun- powder was so objectionable that many of the gun crews found it necessary to wrap towels about their mouths. If this is the case with the ordinary old brown cocoa | Powder, It must be much worse with the | smokeless. Indeed, it would be a necessity | to have the fumes from the smokeless pow | der made harmless in some way, otherwise | it will be impossible to keep any of the | uns manned during a rapid fire. his sug- | gests the use in the shells of some explo- | sive giving forth poisonous fumes. | Another interesting thing brought out by the action was the extremely short time the Spanish ships were under our fire be- fore something happened that demoralized the crews. it would show that every man on the ship must be so trained in his duties that he knows exactly what to do in cas of accident, for there will be no time to wait and summon assistance, The value of cofferdams was”conclusive- | ly shown by the swelling up of the cellulose so that it closed the six-inch hole. To be sure, the hole was only occasionally sub- merged, and the cofferdam itself was not penetrated. One of the great dangers to be avoided Was shown to be splinters. A great num- ber of the wounded were laid out by splin- ters rather than by the fragments of shot or shell. Steel splinters are very bad. If one could get a ship that was absolutely splinter-proof and fireproof, it would be a long stride in the direction of the ideal— something “unsinkable and unlickable.” so little of waat is occurring. has MONIAL, THE SCHLEY TEST Com ttee to Purchase It Have cepted Their Appointment. CUMBERLAND, Md., July 19.—Edwin F. Abell, General Felix Agnus, Wesley M. Oler, Charles H. Grasty, Major General L. j Allison Wilmer, Major General T. S. Mum- ford aptain Arthur TT. Pritchard, army, retired, appointed by Governor Lowndes as a committee to pur- chase tHe testimonial sword to be presented by the state of Maryland to Commodore Schley, have all written their acceptance. The committee will meet this week to ar- range details, the matter to be left entirely ‘in their hands. The governor will allow a handsome sum to be spent for the sword from the contingent fund. The city council has under consideration an offer by E. A. Wilder, a mechanical engineer of New York, to put in an ex- perimental filtration plant at Cumberland, the test to last four months, during the season when the water is most polluted, at his own expense, and should it not prove satisfactory the city would be at no cost. He desires the test to be conducted entire- ly by the water board or experts, he hav- ing nothing whatever to do with it, and should it be successful, he will install a plant complete for $38,000. The matter is | being considered, and it is likely that Mr. Wilder will be invited to put in the ex- perimental plant. His system is that of slow filtration by the means of a series of cells, instead of large beds as by the rapid precess. In a plant of seventy-five cells, one cell is cleaned at a time, while seventy- four are at work, but in a plant consist- ing of large beds a large portion of the plant is out of use while a bed is being cleaned and the matrix is forming. Al- tLough it is claimed that water polluted by the pulp mill cannot be successfully fil- tered, Mr. Wilder says his process will make it pure and colorless. The capacity of the plant is from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 gallons per day. A complete system of water works has been installed at Mountain Lake Park, the summer resort. The Mountain Lake Hotel was the first building to be supplied with water and scores of cottages have since followed suit. Fire plugs will be put in, and a sewerage system is contemplated.

Buckingham, a well-known Washington boy, whois one of those who faced death on the field at San- tiago, has written a letter to his mother here, descriptive of his experiences in the battle. Buckingham enlisted in Company C, 7st New York Volunteers, 1ast May while in New York on business. He re- ceived his military training in the Wash- ington Eastern High School, from which institution he’ graduated in 1893. His father, F. M. Buckingham, is a well-known confectioner of this city. The boy has also a host of friends and relatives in this city. The reference made to the kitten in the latter part of the letter is to the mascot of his company. When the 7Ist went through Washington on its way south a crowd of Buckingham’s friends and relatives went to Virginia avenue southwest to see him and bid him good-bye, the train stopping here about an hour and a half. Some of the men remarked that Company C was the only one without a mascot, and they were lamenting the fact, so Buckingham’s father went home and got a cherished black kitten and presented it to them. While in camp at Tampa the kitten was either stolen or had strayed away, and one of the officers offered $10 reward to the one who would find it and bring it to him. So the cat came back and one of the privates got the $10. The first section of his letter—there are four—is dated “Six miles from Santiago, Cuba, June 30, 1898,” and he say: The Start. “We did not leave Fermeza until Monday morning at 5 o'clock, and arrived at this place after an easy, cool and pleasant march through a valley lined with trees and thick shrubbery.. Had there been any Spaniards concealed we should have had very little show, but there was no danger, as the ground had been thoroughly search- ed by our soldiers and the Cubans. “Our outposts are stationed within 1,500 yards of Santiago, and General Shafter was within a thousand yards this morning. The Spaniards have been on half rations for several days, and it is reported that we ve cut off their water suppl. Their rtifications defending the city are strong and will have to be taken before the city proper is taken. Yesterday twenty-eight hours was given them to get the women and children out of the city, and they sent word back that we would be given twenty- four hours to get our army out of Cuba. A black flag is flying over the city, and that ‘ans no quarter will be shown and no oners taken. There are some fine shots among our and Tuesday a sergeant from the 16th Regulars shot a Spanish officer at 800 yards. A colored scidier from the 10th Regiment shot a Spiniard who was up a tree about 1,500 yards away. Spanish sol- diers, who Were probably in the battle fought last Friday, are being found all over, some dead and some wounded. We have a plenty of light and heavy artillery, and as sdon as they get to the front we will be O. K. We also have war balloons, which will be sent up to locate all strongholds.”” The letter was here interrupted, but July 1 he-says: 7 boy In It fyr Rights. “We are in it for rights. Broke camp this morning at 3:30, moved on to the storming of Santiago, and commenced to fight about 8 o'clock, and the\firiijg has been heavy ever since, and it is low 5:30 p.m. The firing has been terrible and the killed and wounded are many. The Spaniards are well intrenched and fortified, but we have driven them from their stronghold, and they are gradually falling back, but their sharpshooters are in the trees and picking off our men right—and_left. The hospital corps is not. recognized, and are picked off with the rest, “My corporal was shot through the head. I was beside him at the time. As far as we know, three from our company are dead and several wounded. I have thus far been spared.” The next day, Saturday, he resumed his narrative, as follows: Ve are on top of a hill, the Spanish stronghold from which they were driven Friday by our boys with great loss of life. Our men had to cut through barbed wire fences and go through an open field with the Spanish fire coming down at a terrific rate. The storming of Chattanooga and Lookout Heights was not in it with the way the boys charged the hill. “We were kept busy all night digging trenches and at daybreak the firing com- 8 carried on all day. We have the Spanish in a V. We and the 6th Cavairy are on top of a hill. The American soldiers are on the two sides, with the Spanish on a small hill to the right.” July 3 he said: e The Fight Resumed. “Firing commenced again this morning, but not heavy. We sent out a flag of truce today at 12 o'clock, and so we are enjoy- ing a rest for a while. How long it will last I do not know, but it isa relief to have the bullets stop whizzing over our heads. We have four spies, one of whom is a Frenchman, “July 4, daybreak—The truce will not be up until’10 o'clock today, so the usual booming of cannon (and crackers) on the 4th will not be heard until after then. The Spanish fleet under Cervera attempted: to leave the harbor yestérday morning, and s destroyed all but one ship, which went a and is being chased. Phe truce was offered to give the Span- jards a chance to surrender to save the city and their men. If they do not agree to it the city will be bombarded and their loss of life will be terrible, as our siege guns are in place and will tear the place to pieces in short order. “Our regiment has lost thirteen killed and about sixty-five wounded, our company losing more than its proportion. I have not seen the kitten since we left the ship. It was then doing well. I am also well and have been all along. “Tell the Endeavorers I have not forgot- ten them or my C. E. pledge since I left them. Give them the sixth chapter, ninth verse of Galatians for a message. “It may be my last letter, but if God is willing, more will follow. TI shall have to stop, as mail is going out now.” —_—_-—_ KENNEY'S CONVIC WITNESS, Court Grants the Application to Have Him Testify. The United States district court at Wil- mington, Del., in which'United States Sen- ator Richard R. Kehney is on trial, did not convene until nearly, ngon yesterday, when the second we2k of the trial began. Judge Bradford ‘énndéunced his decision on the application made by the defense for a writ or habeas ‘corpus to require the appearance of Ezekiel T. Cooper, now in the Trenton, N. J., penitentiary as a result of the Boggs defalcations, to give testi- mony. The court granted the application, and making the wit returnable today at 10 o'clock. Le The defense then, resumed its examina- tion of witnesses, but nething important de- veloped. William @nderson, the Philadel- pria builder, was examined regarding the receipt by him of Senator Kenney’s checks as payment for Bogg# business dealings with him. He saig;he,flid not know Ken- ney in the building transactidn, and had no idea at the time he executed the con- tract that the senator’s checks would be given. The defense here rested its case pending the examination of Cooper. By agree- ment the government began testimony in rebuttal. William N. Boggs was called and testified to discrepancies in the statement of Sena- tor Kenney as to Boggs’ resources in 189: Considerable time was taken up with tes- tumony as to the witness’ loss on Bay State gas in mutual dealings. Senator Ken- ney had said it wes $1,407. Boggs denied this and said it was $407. He stated that the $1,000 had nothing to do with their mutual dealings in Bay State. A struggie deposit he had made to Senator Kenney’s account and was a result of it being nec- essary tu show funds for the Senator's checks, which he had been withholding. A draft which had been deposited to the senator's account, he said, had come back protested, and it became necessary to use $1,000 to balance the accounts properly. The $1,000, he said, was afterward paid. Boggs contradicted Mr. Kenney’s testi- mony in a nymber of minor particulars, and there were frequent passages between counsel relative to the asking of certain questio: Deputy Sheriff Downes was called in re- buttal by the government, and was asked concerning the $1,650 check given by Sen- ator Kenney in Boggs’ farm transaction. Senator Kenney had said that he had no recollection of giving the check, but pre- sumed that he did, and that he gave it simply to secure the purchase until final settlement by Boggs. Mr. Downes said, as he understood it, Senator Kenney's check was the final payment J. H. Bateman, formerly cashier of the bank, was called and asked if any order had ever been issued by him in reference to overdrefts by Senator Kenney. Bateman stated that he had issued special orders to Boggs not to allow overdrafts in the accounts of Mr. Kenney and others. The witness said that Mr. Kenney seemed to show a disnosition to use the funds of the bank somewhat too freely. Se enees Burial of Eben Brewer. One of the few telegrams which came to the War D=partment yesterday was from an officer of the signal corps in reference to the burial of Mr. Eben Brewer, the postal official who died near Santiago a few days ago. The dispatch simply stated that his grave had been marked so that it could be identified in the future. a The Cardinal's Letter Read.
