ANOTHER DEWEY,
The Name That Has been Given 9
Baby Monkey

Another Dewey has arrived 1t is not
the hero of Manila, although he is wor-
SHIPPED almost as much by the public. 1t is
the baby monkey at the bird mans, born
few weeks ago In captivity. Mamma and
papa keep house in big cage, and the
pride of the house is constant care, as
well as daily joy.
Dewey" as the bird man has ctristened
the baby, was born on the roof, among the
pigeons. and their drumming was his lu,-
laby. For several weeks the little fellow
was weak and puny but careful treatment
soon made a well baby of him. True. he
has collie now and then, but Mamma Mon
key keeps watchful eye on him ard takes
excellent care Of his health 1t is oolv
when some kind visitor forgets 1t is only
baby, and hands in some sweetmeat, that
the youngster has pain Then he is like
any other baby, and yowls. In fact he is
like a real human baby all the time, and
romps all day until the sand man comes
around, WREN he is regularly put to bed
1t is really amusing to see the loving
care bestowed by mamma. She is ever
alert to grab her pride when in danger and
always interferes when some visitor indi-
spring. She does not suffer any interfer-
ence with its food, and when a banana or
sweetmeat is thrust between the bars Wig
orously grabs it. Should baby surrepti-
tiously get something not good for IL. the
old lady Immediately takes it away and
eats it herself, paying no attention 70 the
squawlipg which always follows. Papa
plays minor role in the family Ho seems
content to watch baby, but seldom inter-
feres with its bringing up. When he thinks
danger threatens, he shows his teeth and
bravely advances to fight, and, If need be,
die for his family.
One c.n stand for hours watching the
daily life of the monkey family Married
people, especially these who live unhaDpily,
r.,st ~ Ia,
the sweet contentment of the family from
the wilds Of Africa. ."

To determine this quantity, take the time
allowed from fire to fire for the 13-inch
gun as unit Then in that length of time
the weight of metal from the 13-inch guns
would be 1000 pounds, plus four guns
4,4O0 pounds. The allowed time from fire
to fire for the 13-inch is 800 seconds, and
for the Pinch it is 300 seconds, hence the
weight of metal thrown by the 12-inch in
800 seconds is 1913 pounds. These quanti-

In determining this quantity for the Span

Total Number of Guns.


From the foregoing table 1t will be oh
served that the United States vessels were
superior in guns of large caliber having n
total Of fourteen thrteen-inch and twelve
inch, against the six eleven-inch guns of
the enemy. But it might be well to state
mere that the very heavy guns did not get
home except in the case of two shots
twelve and thirteen inches, which struck
the Teresa, and perhaps one which struck
one OF the destroyers. On the other hand
the superiority of rapid-fire guns of me-
dunn caliber was in favor of the Spanish
ships they having fifty guns from six-inch
rapid-fre down to and including their
twelve-pounders, while the United States
vessels had but eighteen guns of the rapid
fire type.
In the smaller guns. the proportions were
131 for the United States and 76 for the
Spanish ships, emitting machine guns This
superiority in number proved an important
factor in the battle, for it was stated by
the Spanish officers that the six-pounder
fire was so accurately destructive that
difficulty was experienced in keeping the
men at their guns.
In this connection, however, the thirty
two eisht-inch gurs of the American yes
sells must be most seriously taken into
account. They easily proved their excel
lence over other guns by the terrible exc
cuuon which they wrought and which
undoubtedly contributed in very marked
degree to the final result.

Total Guns Engaged.

In making this comparison, it must be
remembered that Immediately on coming
out of the harbor, the Spanish vessels
headed to the westward, bringing their
full port batteries to bear, while the United
States vessels were closing in bows-on. All
the United States vessels were handicapped
in varying degrees in this regard at the
beginning of the battle. The following table
is believed to be a fair estimate of the
number of guns engaged on each side:

per minute were as 672o to 4,s27; this is
approximately as 139 to 100. Therefore the

being treble that OF the Spanish ships, was

ATLANTA. Ga, March 1.-THE dispatch
from Washington was the first intimation
in this city that the War Department had
created new department of the service.
with its headquarters in Atlanta AT Fort
Mcpherson the officers eagerly discussed
the news and comments regarding the size
of the post were at once afioat. Fort Me-
Pherson is at present hardly large enough
to accommodate the officers and men there.
The commissary department is crowded
with the actual necessities Of the Fifth In-
fantry and General Merritt, when here re-1
Gently, was asked to enlarge that part OF
the post. Col. Henry Cook, the commands
ant, could not be seen tonight. but Lieut..
Butt said: There is no room out here for
a department headquarters. Not much room
will be required for the work, as 1t 10 large
ly executive, but force of clerks will be
necessary and staff officers will have to
have quarters as well as the other parts Of
the department"
There are plenty of available buildings In
Atlanta, any one of which will furnish
enough room for department headquarters.

WASHINGTON, March u.-Hcping for

represents the situation in the War and
Navy Departments these days. The officials
still profess confidence that there is to be q
peaceful outcome of the present threatening
difficulties, but meanwhile prepare with
serenity to meet their duty If events should
shape themselves otherwise. An important
development to-day was the conclusion on
the part of the secretary of war to issue
tomorrow morning an order creating new
military department, including within its
confines that part of the country which
would be in all likelihood nearest to the
field of hostilities in case it should come to
that. The order will create d commotion in
the South The present Department Of
Texas is abolished, and the headquarters,
which have been at San Antonio, Tex, for
so many years, are abandoned. In place OF
the old department is created new one,
the Department of the South. General Gra-
ham, at present commander of the Depart
ment of Texas, win command the new de-
partment. This department will include the
States of South Carolina, Georgia, Flor1da.
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
All Of these States save the last are at pres
ent attached to the Department of the East.
under command of General Merritt, Of New
York. 1t is said at the department that
General Merritt is fully compensated for the
strength of the command which passes
away from him by the addition TO his forces
of the two regiments of artillery now re-
cruiting. Headquarters OF the new Departs
ment of the South will be at Atlanta, Ga.
chosen because of its fine strategicaI value
from it's excellent railroad connections. At
present the government has no accOmno-
dations in Atlanta for the headquarters Of
the department, so 1t win be obliged to hire
the most available buildings.
General Wilson, chief of engineers, who
has been In Florida, is expected back to-
morrow to report to Secretary Alger on the
progress of the fertilization works in that
section of the country and probably es-
pecially as to the defense of Tortugas
For the first time to-day the officials OF
the War Department admitted that they
were straining every nerve to improve that
part Of the defenses of the country confined
to their care. 1t is without question the
most unusual mark Of confidence in an
executive officer to empower him to give
orders without limit for the purchase of war
material, yet this is what the President and
Secretary Alger have done in the case Of
General Flagler, chief of ordnance And
shirk this large responsibility, but has in
structed every concern capable of supplying
war material such as rapid-hre guns, shot.
shell and ammunition to go to work at full
capacity.
