Eight American Heroes* The history of wars furnishes no inci dent of valor and utter foarlessnees sur passing the splendid act performed by Lieutenant Richmond P. Hobson nnd j .his heroic crew* of seven volunteer sea- | men in the entrance to the harbor of i Santiago de Cuba. The performance ] adds a thrilling Chapter of courage and voluntary willingness to face almost cer tain-death wto the glorious record of heroism Which 1s the history of Ameri can naval warfare. It is a pity that in the first repocts of the brave deed which has provoked the admiration of the world, and even won congratulations from the commander of the Spanish war fleet, against which the movement was directed, the names of those who com posed the little crew of volunteers tin der Lieutenant Hobson were omitted. Each and every one of them is as worthy to be honored as a hero as his brave commander is, and all will be so honor ed by the government and the people. It is not surprising that a performance ;^.of such courage as to cause the Spanish commander to 6end a Hag of truce id recognition of the bravery of ?thls crew of ids American enemies, and to assure tho American commander that they would be treated' with, consideration while prisoners in tils hands, should challenge the admiration of the world. 'Admiral Sampson called for eight f volunteers to perform t'he perilous mis sion of taking an unarmed and unarm ored vessel, a hulk used merely as a coal . transport, Into the mouth of death, amid a storm of shells and cannon 6hot, hurled fromi powerful engines of de struction, and to sink her in a narrow channel, Itself planted with deadly mines, and take their chances of escape. When this summons came, it 1s to the glory of the American navy nnd the honor of the country that, not the eight men necessary alone responded to the call, but that-every man on board the 'American fleet, 4,000 In all, volunteered,' while some pled ti> have the honor, and ' many were disappointed 'that they were not selected. Not in all {history has there been an incident more inspiring and exhibiting a more daring spirit, and none has there been which more strik ingly showed the loyalty, of seamen ,to their country's cause. The feat that was accomplished, and .which won admiration! even from the enemy, was of greater significance than as an historic exhibition of American heroism. It was a case of t'he men who undertook the task appreciating the full meaning of the necessity and ttmport anco of the movement, and Its possible bearing upon the general results of the war, to that . degree 'that they were willing nnd even anx ious and proud to offer their lives for the sacrifice. Are no't the exploit and its results enough to warrant the belief that'the ruling -hand of Providence must have guided tfceso men in Hhclr under taking for the American cause in u war for a better civilization? The significance as a-ffectlng tho war situation Is vital. It made certain tho complete battling up of the Spanish war' fleet, nnd rendered it, temporarily at Icfcrit, as 'hnrmlt-ea an if It wero at tho bottom of tho oca. It wan, to use tho language of a correspondent, tho "plac ing of tho Stopper In the bottle, with tho collier Mcrrlmao aa the cork." In ?the menrttlme, tho American nation will (riot Ignore tho claims of the eight heroes who performed this reinarkablo feat to !>o honored as thoy deserve. Prompt measures for their exdhango and restor ation to their fleet, and 1 Ik-It promo t!ott and appropriate recognition by Oongrwa will bo applauded by the coun try. Chief of Spanish Spies. If the published letter from Lleuten ant Camera, the naval attfccho to the Spanish legation at Washington, la au thentic, It will go far toward confirming the charge, heretofore mode, that ho In the manager of the Spanish spy system In thle country. Carranza Is the Indi vidual who challenged Oeneral Fltrhugh Leo and Admiral Slgsbeo on account of their expressed convictlona-^hot tho Maine explosion was dueto Spanish treachory, and since he left "Washington has been located In Canada, and hoe been all along suspected of directing the spies In this country from that base. Tho letter alleging to have "been stolen from Carranza in Montreal, and which was published a day^or two since, 1f It can be proven genuine, is sufficient to warrant his expulsion from the Domtn l Ion by the Canadian authorities. It Is a complete exposure of the hand the offi cer has been playing, and intimates that he Is disgusted wtth his employment. He Js anxious to get into active naval ser vice against the Yankees, and la confi dent, according to his letter, that he can not only make a record for himself, but, Spaniard like, can "make it pay," la a financial sense. The letter Is Interesting as an Intelli gent review of the naval operations and also ns expressive of disgust at certain plana of hlsown government. It alsooon tains a frank admlssipn that he doubts Spanish success except on a peace basis yielding Cuba to the United States. The letter, which Is written to a rear admiral In tho Spanish navy, while it contains no Information harmful to tho United States, Is Incriminating, as confirmatory of the charges that have been made against Carranza. It Is announced this morning that ne gotiations are pending which will result In the expulsion of Carranza from Cana dian territory on representations by this government One Chivalrous Spaniards. Let us pause, tn our general denuncia tion of Spanish character and methods of warfare, to pay tribute to the one ohtvalrous Spanish commander who has Shown himself deserving of the title In all the war thus far and during the events loading up to it The action of Admiral Cervera In sending, under a nag of truce, his chief of stafT to the American flag ship, with, a message to ^Admiral Sampson that the heroes of the American exploit were safe and would be protected as prisoners of war, and also recognizing their bravery, may be regarded by some as a piece of shrewd diplomacy;'but however it may be re garded in that sense, it will live in his tory as the act of a true warrior. In thus characterizing it, and In appre ciating it as an act of chivalry, we are doing no more than the Spanish com mander did in recognizing in an unusual manner anhistoric actof American hero Ism, performed by men who had deliv ered him. an effective and disastrous blow. Education in "West Virginia, The commencement season is on in full force and these days are witnessing the annual exercises of some of the most important of the institutions of West Virginia, including the chief one of all of those supported by the state?the University at Morgan-town. The Uni versity is closing the most successful year in its history. The normal schools, also, every one of them, show up with splendid records. These schools have contributed wonderfully to the state's educational progress. Besides these, are the various institutions, which, al though not fostered by the state govern ment, enjoy something more than a state reputation, and which will finish the records of prosperous years this week and next. In this vicinity we have the famous Mount de Chantal Seminar}-, which hus contributed so much to the culture of Wheeling nnd has sent abroad Its influ ence yearly; Bethany College, historic institution; the L/insly Institute, the old est of all, and the influence of which through generations has been reflected in the lives of so many men who are prominent In the business and profes sional circles of the city. Then there are the high schools in this and other important points of the state, the vari ous private, denominational and sectar ian colleges and schools, all contributing to the enlightenment, the progress and the culture Of our state, which, with each year, takes a step farther toward the front among the most advanced commonwealths, industrially and intel lectually, in the great Union of sisters, now engaged In a war, sad as the fact la In this connection, for the dominance of civilization and education over Ignor ance and semi-barbarism. West Virginia, with her splendid pub lic school system, advancing on pro gressive lines and intelligently adminis tered, her state institutions for higher education, both public and private, is marching in pcrfect step with the ad vance guard. How Peace may Come. Tho Spanlsih newspapers are exulting over an article in the Paris edttlon of the New York Herald advocating peace. They aonstrue lt as meaning that the United States government Is "appalled at the magnitude of the struggle nnd Is anxious to escape from a terrible dilem ma." This is very amusing la vlow of tho situation. It is almost Incredlblo that tho Spanish press should be Ignor ant of the fact that neither tho Pads edition, nor any other edition of tho New York Herald, is authorized to speak for the United States government, to say nothing of tho fact that It In 110 Bcnso reflects the sentiment of the people of tho United States on this vital Issue. It i.i true tho people of this country Want peace, for that is What they aro fighting for, but it never will bo truo that they aro frightened at a "terrible dilemma," for nono has yet presented It self, so far na tho physical content with Spain Is concerned. It Is curious that tho dispatch. Which thus quotes tho Spanish press also details how the Span ish statesmen would wolcomo tho Idea of peaco, even with tho sacrifice of Cuba, if they could only save tho Philippines and Puerto Itico, nnd not bo required to pay-too high an Indemnity. This attitude of Spanish statesmen In duo to the financial "terrible dilemma" that tho government of Spain is facing, for tt to absolutely powerless to borrow money t? pay tho expense? of the war. The Spanish banker* admit that it will be oa impossible to float a government loan sumdent for the purpose in their own country as tt has been to negotiate ftir financial aid In other countries. Tho French bankers aro now demanding tho pound of flesh before they will so much as discuss a Spanish loan?terms wtHcb the government of the Dons can not comply with, except by making sac rifices which wtruld mean greater hard ships than tho loss of important colonial possessions. This situation is an Important factor In-the condition? that aro shaping to ward an ending of the war. There are some things developing daily which aro contributing, so far as Spain Is con cerned, to the aocompllshmenlt of tho purpose of tho war by tho United States, and they are not nil oonnected directly with the movements of tho fleots and Uio army. The Intelligencer, with all good Re publicans, sincerely hopes that tho un pleasantness which exista In Lewis county, growing out of an unfortunato contest in choosing delegates to the con gressional district ymlnatlng conven tion, may not continue longer than, tho tlmo necessary to heal whatever differ ences exist Contesting delegation*, whatever the cause, are never conducive to party harmony or the party welfare, i The Republicans of Lewis are no le5s loyal to Republicanism, because they ' differ as to choice of candidates, and wo aro sure there is no deslro on any sldo too Jeopardize party interests if there Is a way to adjust misunderstandings. Considering the short time In which the war has been in progress and the | few opportunities which have presented themselves, heroes are being rapidly de veloped on tho American side. There maybe willing ones on tho Spanish side, i but the elusive and almost cowardly | policy of tho Spanish authorities so far i ?has afforded them no'opportunities. "We PIANOS. Pianos. Prices.

On the American side the marksmanship was effective after the range was secured, and most of the works were damaged/and the puns of the Mofro silenced. The last shot was flred at G o'clock, and the order to re tire was reluctantly obeyed. It Is hard to form any idea of the value of the short bombardment. In connection with the withdrawal of the fleet, It must be remembered that tho admiral had reason to expect an en gagement with the fteet of the enemy, and this covered many obvious reasons for not continuing the bombardment of San Juan. Apparently the battle was an Incident of the war, like the action at Matanzas, proving again the lack of training of the Spnnlsh and the cool ness and ability of the Americans. Only two of the several hundred shots by the enemy w6re felt by our ships. ADMIRAL CERVERA. If Ever Man Wn? In a Tight Plnoo, lie Ii That Klin, Jfow, A great many people will "bo surpris ed to iearn that Admiral Cervcra is well acquainted with the United States. Fifteen years ago he was a naval at tache at "Washington, and was a.fa vorite !n "Washington society. Now the admiral visits this conti nent ogain, under different conditions. He comes rot as a friend, but as a foe, and Instead of being heralded wlthj pomp and met with ceremony, he is obliged to sneak here on tho quiet, like a stowaway-on the ocean. If cornered in Santiago de Cufca, Ad mlrai Cervcra Is penned up tighter than lie knows. He can no more* get out I than he can fly in the air with his war ships. The harbor is three miles deep, and to reach it there Is a long, tortuous j path, through which only one vesel can sail at a. time. Once in the harborjjno man can get out when opposed by an enemy. One boat alone could hold the entrance to Santiago. Naval experts disagree as to Cer vera's ability. The Madrid press con stantly congratulates him on his "6uc- ! cess In evading the American fleet." i [London experts, on the other hand, eay that he constantly wears out his coal, his provisions and his men with out doing anything for Spain, Poor Admiral Cervera. are told that Spanish seamen are brave. It isn't their fault, then, that the gov ernment is pursuing a dodging policy. Tl?o Homli&rclment of San Joan. ?Although the first search of Admiral Sampson for Cervera's elusive squadron proved a bitter dlaappoplntment to the Americans, it was full of incidents in teresting enough to the general public." Chief among these events was tho bom bardment of tho town of San Juan, on the island of Porto Rico, which took place on May 12, and gave to Samp son's fleet its flrst opportunity to engage conccrtedly in actual. warfare. An il lustration by Chapman, reproduced to day from Harper's Weekly, affords a vivid picture of the affair. The American squadron was compos ed of ten battle ships, monitors and cruisers. During the night of May 11 they approached San Juan from the northwest, and1 on tho morning of the 12th all hands woro called and break fast served at 3 o'clock. Tho men then kenw that gunpowder -was to be burn ed, and they were correspondingly ju bilant. "With tho flrst rays of dawn the call to quarters were sounded,- iand tho flnai preparations wade for, aotlvo 'work, on tho Spanish fortlllcatlons which protect the harbor, Headed by tho Iowa, which had been' selected by Admiral Sampson as his flagship, tho formidable column of fighting boats made thro circuits boforo tho forts, pouring in their Are at an average mnge of about 1,800 yards. The guns of tho enemy were worked vigorously, but with the usual result. Notslnco mod ern rifles with gun sights were invent ed has any one seen such ohootlng ns frm tho shore batteries of San Juan.
