II is o curious fact, says n veteran,
that some men never learn TO keep

Somehow their lefe' foot never gets

MILITARY EXPEDITIONS.
Difficulties which Were Involved in
Sending the TrOopa TO
Manila.

1t was on the first day of May that
Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish
ships and defenses in Manila bay.
Twenty-four days later the first de-
tachment of troops sent to reinforce
him sailed from San Francisco.
There were some expressions of i'm
patience because of this delay, and
also because more troops were not
sent But those who criticise the gov
ernment on this account, says the
Youths Companion, can have little idea
of the difficulties involved in sending
large military expedition such a
distance.
From San Francisco to Manila is
about 1000 miles. The voyage, under
favorable conditions, takes about four
weeks. Ships had to be chartered and
made ready in haste, to convey not
the troops only, but their weapons,
field artillery as well as rifles. horses
and their subsistence, tents, bedding,
hospital stores and miscellaneous
equipments, together with rations for
the whole force sufficient for the voy-
age and for some time after.
1t was necessary also to carry out
large quantities Of ammunition and
supplies for Admiral Dewey's squad
ron, for ships carrying on operations
1000 miles from their base Of supplies
need many things.
To secure the ships and prepare them
for such a voyage, and to accumulate
and get on board of them all the need
ed supplies in little more than three
weeks. was really remarkable
