Harbor Impregnable
Madrid May 0 Reforring to the
increased censorship and tho cau
tiona issued bj General Daban with
referunco to the publication of nowe
repressing the transmission evon of
editorials from tho Madrid journals
El Nacinnal exclaim
What is taking placo in the tele
graphio Bervice is truly scandalous
So far as provincial correspondents
aro concerned tho Black Cabinet
has soldom worked bo thoroughly as
at the present moment when it de
pends upon a Minister who calls
himself a Liberal This irritation
is sharply provoked by the Govern
ments suppressions as to the battlo
at Mauila
Commenting upon it El Nacional
which is tho organ of tho Weylarite
party says Yeatorday when the
first intelligence arrived nothiug
bettor occurred to Admiral Berinejo
Minster of Marine than to send to
all tho newspapers comparative
statistics of tho two contending
squadrons By this comparison he
sought to direct public attention to
tho immeufo superiority of a squad
ron of ironclads over a squadron of
wooden vessels dried by the boat
in those latitudes
Spain undoubtedly sees therein
the heroism of our marines but she
also and above all sees the nefarious
crime of tho Government It is un
fair to blame the enemy for pos
sessing forces superior to ours but
what is worthy of being blamed with
all possible vehemence is this in
famous Government which allowed
our inferiority without neutralizing
it by some means of preparations
With referenco to the catastropne
El Nacional continues A good
battery off Corrngidor Island with
groat reflectors and guns capable of
sweeping the soa for miles around
would have krpt the American
squadron out of the bar Iu
Correxidor there wero only a few
wretched guns taken from warships
a few days ago This is the truth
Our sailors have been basely de
livered over to tho grapeshot of the
Yankees a fate nobler and moro
worthy of respect than those banu
fill Miuisors who brought about tho
first victory and its first victims
EI Heraldo do Madrid says It
was no caprice of the fortunes of
war From tho vory first caunon
shot our fragile ships wore at tho
mercy of tho formidable hostile
Bquadron They were condemned
to fall one after another uuder the
firo of tho Auiorican batteries
powerless to striko and wore de
fended only by tho valor iu the
breasts of their sailors What has
been gained by the illusion that
Manila was fortified What has
beon gained by tho intimation that
the broad and beautiful bay on wboBO
bosom the Spanish fleet perished
had been rendered inaccessible
What ubo was made of the Island of
Corregidor What was done with
its guns Whoro wore tho torpe
does Whero were those defensive
preparations concerning whioh wo
were requested to keep silent
El Heraldo referring further on
totheextont of tho disaster says
We cannot define it The Govern
ment has not defined it for the in
formation of the country and al
though the greater portion of yes
terdays cabiuot council was devoted
to the subjeot the Government has
refused to issue even a note leaving
us in ignorance respooting its viows
on this fateful event Thoro is
nothing rash in tho suspicion that
tho Governments attitude in this
matter is a desire to hide a part of
the truth This however is a bane
ful mistake
ADMIRAL MILLER SAFE
Ploasod That tho Baltimore Won

Admiral Miller and his personal
staff arrived from Honolulu on the
City of Peking last night aud the
first report they received of Deweys
victory was from th pilot who
boarded the iteamor off tha Faral
louos Who we loft Honolulu
said he wo had not the faiuUnt
idea that war had boen declared
When tha Baltimore sailed for
Hongkong overybody on her expect
ed to be in a fight before mnny
moons but I did uot expect to hear
that the fight was nil over when I
ranched hero The cruiser had a
splendid crw and every man on her
was eager to strike a blow for tha
colors
The training ship Mohican sailed
for homn on April 29tb but as she
will como up under sail tho greater
part of tho way I do not expect to
see her hero for some days tncomo
My own destination I dn not kuow
