only used for purposes OF ignition.
These powders are called prismatic"
because they are many-sidcd, like q
prism. Each grain has hole through
its center, also an aid to general igni-
milton. A grain OF these powders is
one inch in height and two inches in
circumferences. These explosives are
of saltpeter and charcoal bases. They
make much smoke and much noise.
The charge for a thirteen.inch gun
is 1000 pounds. This will be COM
posed of $50 pounds of brown pris-
matte and $50 pounds OF black pris-
matte, which is inserted behind the
priming. The discharge by this device
is made practically symmetrical and
instantaneous. It's effect, of course, is
Titantic. At the Indian Head prov
ing grounds, below Washington, l
once saw projectlle from a thirteen
inch gun sent against a Harveyized
plate seventeen inches thick. The
plate was one of lot made by the
Carnegie people and sent on for trial.
The missile drilled hole through II
inches of Harveyized steel, through A
inches of solid oak backing and
through 5 feet of earth. So far as the
records extend it is still going. Some
body called for another plate, and it
was set up. 1t was struck with Car
penter shell, which fused in part. A
chunk of it weighing two pounds re-
bounced 25O yards and threw a hatful
of dirt into the lynx eyes of Amos
Cummings, who had come out of the
bOmb-proof to see "the wheels go
round" Mr.. Cummings started for
theriver, but was captured after a
short, swift chase.

OLYMPIA WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING, MAY Ia; l898

cent success the first great general
engagement of ironclads in the his
tory OF the world.
The remainder of Sunday was spent
by the Americans in making repairs,
in looking to the wounded and in
planning for the events of the next
day.
In the afternoon the British coun.
sci went out to the Olympia, and, it is
said, asked that Manila be not bonn
barded.
Admiral Dewey sent word ashore
by him that he surely would lombard
Manila at dawn of Monday unless the
Spaniards surrendered all their tor
pcdoes, all their guns and gave him
control of all telegraph and cable
wires.
This message was delivered by the
British Consul to Captain-General
Augusti about p. NJ.
His answer was a prompt, utter re-
fusal, and he repeated this message
of heroic folly after he had consulted
with his officers.
The courage of the Spaniards was as
great as their overwhelming ruin.
They had lost heavily - just how
heavily they dare not tell even them
selves.
The Spanish flag had been shot from
the waters of Manila Bay, the last
Spanish ship lay in ruins, and the
last possible chance of resisting the
relentless Americans, whom they now
hated, whereas they had despised
them, was gone absolutely.
Yet, emulating the despairing hero
ism of the officers and crew of the
Don Juan de Austria, they hurried de-
fiance at the American fleet lying so
tranquil and triumphant just out of
reach of the battery on the mole at
Manila.
From the details that have already
come in it is evident that the attack
on Manila was as magnificent in ex-
ecution as in plan. In every move
ment the Americans showed an in.
vincible combination of daring eau
ion, of GOODNESS and heat of valor and
skill.
The battle of Manila was gloriously
lost by Spain; it was gloriously won
by America.

THE GIBRALTAR OF AMERICA
Scientific American.

Dry Tortugas is an erroneous term
applied to the group of keys or islands
which constitute the extreme outer
Florida reef. Key West is the most
important as regards inhabitants, now
boasting large Cuban or Spanish
American contingent. Continuing to
the southwest, we come to the Mar
quesas Islands, and finally, about sixty
miles from Key West, lies Garden Key,
on which is situated the finest fort of
the old class in the United States; a
magnificent structure, three tiers of
brick masonry, filled in with concrete
It he whole forming defense which
while of not much service to-day
against modern guns, was, during the
late war, considered formidable fort.
The Tortugas Islands have been al
most neglected since the war, when
the Dry Tortugas obtained a somewhat
unenviable reputation by being used
as military prison.
Tortugas was not so disagreeable a
place Us it was painted.
For thirty years it has been almost
deserted. The old guns are lying
where they were left by the troops,
some unmounted, the carriages rust.
ing in the sun and rain, and the fort
has an appearance not creditable to
the government that has expended
millions upon it. But now indications
point to the belief that the old
fort will be rehabilitated, and the
garrison, which has been commanded
by some of the best known officers in
the army, will again assume an air
of life and activity.
For some time it has been in the
hands of the Department of State,
which established quarantine station
here, and army surgeons have been
studying the Yellow fever germ theory
But the threatened trouble with Cuba
has resulted in the re-establishment
OF the post as an army and naval
station. The white squadron is lying of
the fort; coal has been sent there for the
fleet, and a large contract has been
given for the deepening of the harbol
near Garden Key, so that the largest
cruisers can run in and coal.
1t q singular commentary ON the in
activity of the government for the past
three decades that this post or fort, the
most important strategetical position
in the South, the key of the Gulf, the
Gibraltar of America, should have
been left in charge of a sergeant ali
these years and practically ignored
In 1919 the United States purchased
these keys and the whole Of Florida
for the sum of $5,OOO,OO0; and con-
sidering the fact that the keys are but
a few hours run from Cuba, it wa:
deemed necessary to fortify the ex
posed points; so Fort Jefferson was
begun in 1S47, and Fort Taylor, al
Key West, some time later.
The laboring work was done almost
entirely by slaves hired from theil
masters in Key West, the skilled
mechanics coming from the North

THE HALPINE TORPEDO BOAT.
A Wonderful Torpedo Boat of
Which Great Things
are EXpected.

A New York dispatch of the 7th
inst. says:
The Halpine, torpedo boat, lies in
the shed at the long wharf at Willetts
Point ready for her trial trip before
the engineer officers who are to pass
judgment on her. She has been over
hauled and put in order during the
past two weeks. Her storage batteries
have been placed on board, and she
stands ready for sea. She is built of
copper, is twenty-four feet long and
two feet in diameter. The body of
the boat is cylindrical in form. Her
bow has the shape of a semi-ellipsoid,
while her stern has the shape of cone.
The superior merit claimed for her by
the inventor, Lieut.. Halpine, formerly
of the European squadron, until 1868,
when he was sent for service to the
naval academy. His first command
was in 1870, when he had the Mar
ragansett, making surveys of the Pa
cific until 1876, when he was made a
lighthouse Inspector and later Sec
retary of the lighthouse board. He
commanded the Juniata in the Asiatic
station in 1928, and in September
1884, was made captain and put in
charge of the Dolphin, one the four
vessels which formed the original
"white squadron" The following
year he was sent to command the flag
ship Pensacola, on the European
squadron, and he stayed there until
1883, when he became the chief of the
bureau of equipment and recruiting,
with the rank of commodore. This
place he held until 1898, when he was
made a member of the lighthouse
board. He got his commission as com.
modore on February %, 1896, and
about the same time he was made
President of the board of inspection
and survey. This place he held until
he was put in command of the Asiatic
station in January of this year.
