ne started to assist in the demoralizatioM
OF the besieged.
This was the experience of the city
when 1T was bombarded centuries ago by
the English under Drake.
The streets in the old city are narrow
and scantlly and irregularly paved, but
the outside as well as the inside of many
OF the houses are painted with gaudi-
ness OF glaring colors and contrast gor~
geously with the tropical trees by which
tne houses and streets are plentifully
shaded. Perhaps the most character
istic street of the city is the Prado, q
broad boulevard running from the Cas-
tillo de la Punta well up into the middle
OF the city, where, close by the Paruue
Park Central and Parque de Isabella
Cattollca, are the main railroad stations,
the principal hotels and the theatres.
1t has been the custom in days of peaee
for military band to play in the Pamue
Central every other night, and it was
considered an aristocratic way of spend
ing the evening to be present in car
rlages or in the nearby cafe balconies.
There are five or six theatres, and OF
course a bullring. In peace times bull
fights took place every Sunday after
noon. At the same time there were
cockfights in plenty in the authorized
city cockpits. The winter residence Of
the Governor-General of the island and
the principal administrative buildings
are at the inner end OF the entrance ia
the harbor and command view of it's
whole circumference. They are stately
marble buildings. TIE Havana cathedral
was built in 1924, famous as tho alleged
resting place OF the bones of Christopher
Columbus and his son Diego. There arr
many other churches.
Although the city is equipped with
modern electric lighting plant, the de-.
tails of the municipal government are, i'm
a general way, as far from being modern
and as corrupt as they could we'll be.
There is practically no drainage, and
although there are unlimited sources o3
water supply convenient to the city, the
aqueducts are insufficient and leaky. So
badly is the city now graded that there
are spots in the lower part of it where
pools OF stagnant water gather in the
rainy season and breed fevers until they
are dried up.

The Sun showed at the time that there
was no money in Cuba to pay an An,eri-

Dady doubtless came to this conclusion
and long ago suspended activity on the
job

Naming of the Monterey.
Story Of the Manner in Which the
Monitor Received Its Chris


The story of the naming of the big
monitor Monterey, says the Chicago
| Chronicle, has never before been told in
print.
When preparations for her launching
were being made at San Francisco Irving
NJ. Scott, general manager of the Union
Iron Works. was at Washington, and a
number of Californians wired him to use
his influence with Benjamin i. Tracy,
then Secretary of the Navy, to have the
ship named for some California town,
and Scott hit upon Monterey as a name
that appealed to him, and the request
was accordingly preferred
"I.l see what can do" said the amia-
BILE Secretary, and, ringing bell, he
summoned the head of the War Depart.
ment having the matter in charge. When
the matter was explained the chief of bu-
reau replied:
But you know, Mr.. Secretary, the
rules require that ships of that class
shall be named in honor of some naval
battle in wi i.h the Americans have
participated. So far as | know, there
has never been battle of Monterey"
This rule has been changed since, but
Mr.. Scott, seeing the corner he was in AS
the matter stood, retorted promptly;
Eyes; it is true that there has never
been a battle at Monterey, but let me tell
you u story. In 1916, when we were
having our little uupleasantness with
Mexico, an American man war was
lying in the harbor of Mazatlan.
Near him lay an Englishman, who had
an uncomfortable way of keeping her
guns pointed in the direction of the
American.
"Now, that Yankee skipper, who was
typical of his class, got it'into his head to-
raise his flag at Monterey. Cal, which
was the capital of that territory, and it SO
happened that the Englishman got the
same notion just about the same time.
"The Yankee suspected something OF
the kind, and made up his mind not to
be outwitted.
Late that afternoon he sent lot OF
his menashole, and when the boats re-
turned to the ship without them the Brit
isher made up his mind that they would
not be back until the following day.
Satisfied with this conclusion, he sat
down to wait. But the Yankee was a
hustler, as Yankee sailors always are.
The night was as dark as stack of
black cats, and along about 10 O'Clock
the American boats, with mutiled oars,
rowed the crew back to the ship, and in
the inky darkness that Yankee skipper
slipped his cables and warped his ship
out of the harbor without the fact even
being suspected by the Englshman,
When day broke he was fifty miles up
the coast, scudding along before ten
knot breeze.
"The other fellow saw he had been
out generated, but he made an effort to
rectify his blunder He had smart
crew and fast ship. There was no rea-
son, he figured, why he might not over
Jake his rival and beat him to Monterey.
he tried it, and came very nearly max
ing success of it. He sailed into
Monterey harbor just two hours behind
he American, and dropped his anchor
n time to see the stars and stripes rise
% the head of the flagstaff in the plaza
md flutter to the breeze. Monterey and
california were ours"
'Don't say another word, Scott" said
he Monterey"
And Monterey she is.
