of artillery that would open upon our crazy transport so soon as we should have got the bulk of our landing party under way for the shore.
 Every private who went on this trip knew the situation as well as his off, cers. There was an ofninous silence on shore. and no unnecessary talk on board.
 We had no bluejackets on board and had. therefore, to make use of the civ ilian crew of the transport, four men, with a cockswain named John Dono- van. This same John Donovan knew well that if he were caught ashore he would be treated as an insurgent or pirate along h the rest of the crew of ununiformed filibusters. But John Donovan never bothered his head about international law more than to remem- Der that he was a thoroughbred Irish man, with a coating of citizenship, and a profound contempt for the "dago" and all others not of his own skin and kidney.
 John Donovan was a splendid pie ture of manhood as he stood up in the stern of the whaleboat, steering with his long sweep, and guiding his crew to where he thought the surf the least dangerous. That was not saying much, for the transport was anchored off a coral reef, extending as far as the eye could reach in each direction. The waves broke high on this reef, and the men had to spring out of the boats and drag them for a distance of perhaps hundred yards Some of the boats capsized outright, and In each case there were many minutes when the different crews were up to their necks in the breakers, holding aloft their rifles and wondering why the Spaniards did not seize this opportuni- ty of shooting them to pieces.
 As there were not enough deck-hands on the transport to row more than one small boat at time, the commander called for volunteers. There was no

THE DEFENSE OF HoNGKoNq


 Lord Charles Beresford, speaking at York at the beginning of last month, very appropriately drew attention to the unsatisfactory condition of Hong- kong from a military point of view. There Is no subject on which her Mai esty's Ministers, to whichever party they belong, speak more freely than on the defense of our coaling stations, and year after year large sums have been voted for the improvement of our naili- tary works at Hongkong. Year after year the same statement is made, too. that owing to some unexpected inter vention the works had not been com pleted as intended, but the Government now had them in. hand, etc. Still, little or nothing has come of this and Hong kong is practically dependent on the fleet for its defense. This is becoming a more serious matter than ever. now that Russia has been put in possession of Port Arthur, and Is there in her own interest taking similar precautions

ton, and one that will by its own action
reach the inflamed and diseased sur
faces.

specific curative powers with perfect
safety to the patient. This agreeable
remedy has mastered eatarrh as nothing
else has, and both physicians and pa
tients freely concede this fact. All drug
gists cheerfully acknowledge that in it
the acme of Pharmaceutical skill has
been reached. The most distressing
symptoms quickly yield to it. In acute
cases the Balm imparts almost instant
relief.

Palmetto State in 1890, in which he and
General Earle were rival candidates. In
that campaign the reform movement,
headed by Mr.. Tillman, was successful,
General Earle carrying only four of the
thirty-fve counties of the State. Dur
ing that campaign General Earle won
the admiration of all by the intrepiditv
and distinguished ability with which he
conducted himself and paved the way
to his subsequent election TO the Senate.
In conclusion Mr.. Tillman said thar
while his might not be the highest tri'
butte that could be paid to General Earle
none certainly could be more sincere and
heartfelt.
