his back for several feet. He came
near being ridden over by Waller. He
picked himself up and walked to the
slope of the track, apparently unharm-
ed. Soon after Bald was cheered, as
he again appeared on the track with
a new wheel. He rode a half in l: 04 is.

Readers of war news must be struck
by the number of MORO Castles" with
which our forces have to- deal! Havauu'S
fort of that name is tie beStxnow;I
building in Cuba. Wien Admiral SImp-
son went down TO Puerto Rico 10 shake

ether MORO Castle. And now comes
word of an attack by American wal

tiago dc Cuba, the most important port
in the southeastern part of the island
Some readers have probably wondered
how it happened that no such castles
were encountered at Ma:anzas. Car
dcEas and Cienfuegos.
he explanation Uf this recurrence OF
the name Nero Castle" is found in the
fact that the word Moro" means
"promontory." Many of the harbors
of Cuba are remarkable landlocked
bays, opening to the sea through mar
now channels, usually long ami deep.

and naturally named MORO Castle. or

At Cienfuegos there is 10 such fort ,
although the harbor is one Of tic typical
bays OF the Cuban coast, with Il narrow
entrance. One reason is that the city
is comparatively new, and it has brcc:u

when Spain fortified her American pos

there should be Il MORO Castlc"to G2nl

are Gil rather low parts Of the coast. and
the latter is il smnl place. So they have

This explanation is sufficient to shaw
why the Fame made familiar by En-
