Melpomene and Liffey.
Shortly afterward the Garnet, anoth.
er English vessel, arrived She had q
crack crew and good racing boat, and
Immediately issued a challenge to Samp-
sons crew to race. AS the Garnet was
to sail next day little time was given
for practice to the American crew.
On the afternoon of the day of the
challenge Captain Sampson was seated
in his cabin when his coxswain entered.
Captain, he began, with deep ear.

"Why. certainly responded samp-

THAT being the case-the man a

you," returned the captain gravely.
"But can't do without him" plead.
ed the coxswain, with an insistence
rarely shown TO q naval commander "H
you don't let that man go, captain, the
Englishmen will beat us.
Sampson turned suddenly and touched
his bell, and as his orderly entered he
said briefly, "Toll Lieutenant - that
release tho prisoner until this race is
won."
1t is needless to say that the race was
won by the American crew, and the re-
leased prisoner pulled hardest Of them

Fight Like ssvages.
Captain j. H. Dorst has been doing
some very daring and dangerous work
for the government He has taken his
life in his hand dozen times. His in
structions were to assist the Cubans in
making connection with the United
States officials and see that the Rem
ington and Springfield rifles, for which
General Gomez was asking so insistent-
ly, got into his banda But behind this
was a much graver work. It was to as
certain about what the real effective
force of Spain was in Cuba, and gener-
ally about what sort of fight Spain
intends putting up, Judging from the
evidence obtainable. Captain Dorst says:
"Spain intends lighting with the fe-
rocity of q century ago. The captured
man will receive about the treatment
accorded to captives by the Apaches
''It Is well, says he, "to bear in
mind that Spain has in Cuba between
go, 600 and $4,000 soldiers who have
survived two epidemics and the bad
food and worse sanitary arrangements
Of Spanish barracks. These men reli-
giously believe that If captured their
throats will instantly be cut. Their su-
perior officers tell them this; the priests
declare that it is true. In the first two
or three battles these soldiers will fight
with true Latin desperation. The United
States army going to Cuba may as well
understand that its business will be
serious war. The native population will
help us all it darea Finally, the sooner
we begin the better. This talk about the
terrors Of the climate Is humbug Of the
most arrant kind. The water of Cuba is
excellent, and the climate is very
good one. Those fellows who come here
from Arizona will think the change
simply heavenly. "-St. Louis Globe
