the warships ceased firing aud before

A Pathetic .Scene,
A touching iucideu't. which ocourred
at the barracks at Portsmouth, N. If.,
where tho Spanish prisoners are held
captive, was tho farewell of Captain
Morou to his men. Captain Morou,
instead of making a formal aud elo

up to tho man at the lieAd of it and
takiug him warmly by the hand, ten
derly kissed the grim soldier on the
cheek.- When the men saw the action
of their commander, they wopt as if
their hoarts would break, and as tho
oaptain walked down the line, shaking
each by the hand and kissng each sun

arms around his couimuudirNi neck
and gave him a hearty embrace. ]

to the American Nuvy.
3 ho weekly newspaper? of 1 <ondon,
in ilifteusaiuK t lie war, ull pay glorious
tributes to tho Auiorican Navy. Fven
the Saturday He View Maya; "It is im
possible not to 'fool a certain pride in
| > |
these achievements of inon of our own
race. Fvery Fugliahman, too, will ro
mouther tlist it was tlu> possession of
Huh Maine 1 1 ual ity , tho fine liiarksnutu
i f*h ? j? which tlio Americans displayed,
I which yave im victories both ?u laud
! ami sea, from ('retry to the Crimoa,
and something peculiar and noble hap
i poned in tho light, which showed in a
far higher way tho kinaliip between the
two peoples: 'Oou't cheer,' shouted
( apt. Philip, 'the poor devils aro dy
ing. ' "
"It seems to U? that this expression
of tender sympathetic humanity ih just
au fine as tho 'Kiss mo, llardy,' of tho
dying Nelson. "
j The Spectator iu a long article on the
same subject says:
"Tho find thought of ali Fn^lishmou
is that the American Meet did ita work
splendidly. The whole performance of
Admiral Sampson's tloet was in uocotd
ance with the best traditiona of Anglo
Saxou navies ami ovory Englishman
bus read of their doing with a Hush of
pride, There was the same old hard
pounding as tho Klizabothau Ken dogs
used, the same curious mixture of
steadiness), daring, cooluess jawd reck
lessness. Tho moral aspect of what
was aliuo*t the first and of what may
bo tlie last lloot action between the
; Spanish aud English races is very
I much alike. In both casos it was tho
j man liehintl tho trun who, in the last
I resort, won the battle.
"Tho battle shows that tho Aanerican
navy is a most oOtciout fighting ma
chine. We did not need to bortold that
hero. We know it already, aud, reali/od
| of what stuil'tho lion's'wholps a;re made,
j Thoy, however, did not know it on tho
j Continent, though they apparently
! know it uotv. For ourselves, we have
j little doubt that tho Amerricau tloet
j could face ovou that of Franqe without
j any ?re.\t rink of disaster, in spito of
' tho fact that, by tho rules, the Fronch
lleet im ten limes stronger. Wo believe
' thin could bo dono if it woro needful,
| but it won't bo, as America won't bo
i attacked by France without our takiug
! a hand in tho gawo. Sampson, Dewey
, mid the ofticers they have the happiness
I to command are able to destroy Frouch
[ ships of vatdly superior power, just as
I we did a hundred years ago.
! "As for thb German ?nil American
i navies, there can, of oourstt, be no com
parison. The Germ ail s aro line sailors j
; and bravo men, but Aiaval Jtttruggln be
tween tho United States and Germany
would be very short aud very complete."
j The Speaker says: "Tho grealoxl
j crodit is due to tho American navy for
| tho manner iu which this operatioi^lias
; been carried out. Jiiko tho exploit of
i T'owey, tho sea fight at Santiago has
! proved that tho llritiah sailor has iu his
I American kinsman a worthy allay aud
; rival. So far as her fleet i? concerned, /
Ameriea need not fear comparison with
any country in tho world. "
