battle at Manila the European powers
will conclude that the American flag
always floats over the American crew,
regardless Of the nativity or racial de-

The impression produced Is likely to de-

are that we shall be left to settle our

Walker. to convey message to the
Spanish governor general demanding
the surrender Of all the, torpedoes and
guns at Manila and the possession of
the cable offices. saying that unless
these terms were compiled with he

The first Of the cable messages ends
with the statement that the Spanish Of
fcials were comforting with the British

agent. and tnat pending decision be-
ing. arrived at the cables were not per-
mitted to handle messages.

words have caused not little trouble
TO the critics, and for this reason. that
they know not what palfrey really is.
1t has been suggested that palfrcy is
clerical error made by the doctor him
self for pastry. But the doctor wrote so
1cgibly, and there is SO much difference
between the words palfrey and pastry,
that this position is not at all tenable.
Palfrey is defined in Johnson's ce1c-
DRAFTED, dictionary as "a small horse fit
Tor ladies'" and some have thought that
che doctor (whose feats as trencher-
man were notorious) may have broken
record on the day in question and dis
posed OF small horse. All these and
other conjectures are wrong, and we
will proceed to give the correct expla-
nation.
The word palfrey sometimes pam
