ST. who had prudently reloaded his own

''That's so,r said Bolivar, pulling it out.
"You can take and carry it, or I'll take the
cylinder out, if you are not convinced about
me-"
You'd better let me carry it," said
Shorty, showing the revolver in his own belt.

THE VICTORY AT MANILA.

AS we said last week, we were almost
content to allow the Spaniards to tell
the story of the achievements of our
gallant tars at Manila. The rage and
modification of the boastful Dons re.
vealed thoroughly the superb courage,
energy and power with which they had
been struck and how crushing the blow
had been. A mans yells are generally
the best evidence Of the severity of his
punishment
Still, in the midst of our rejoicing
over the phenomenal victory, there were
eart-aches and doleful misgivings as to
the probably terrible cost at which it
had been purchased. Victories cost
the lives of brave, dearly-valued men.
1t did not seem possible that such
terrible destruction could be wreaked
upon an enemy, hunted down to his
chosen place of battle, with every adj
vantage on his side that long notice and
due time for preparation could give him,
without an awful loss of life and vessels
on our side.
1t was, therefore, an inexpressible re-
lief to learn direct from Commodore
Dewey that he had not lost a man or
a ship. The official announcement was
as gratifying to Americans as it was
startling to the world.
Upon the world it produces some
thing like the effect produced by the
battle between the Monitor and the
Merrimac. 1t exalts the United States
at once to the rank of fr.t-class naval
power. 1t shows that we are masters OF
the art and science Of naval warfare
Other nations supposed that while they
were intently studying and practising
the complicated science of modern naval
warfare, We were tagging behind, en-
! crossed in commercialism," railroad

THE YELLOW FEVER.

We publish elsewhere an interesting
sketch by a scientific man on yellow
fever. The main points that he clearly
makes are:
1. That yellow fever is strictly a filth
disease, and preventible by ordinary
cleanliness and care.
2. That the two main sources of the
disease are Habana and Vera Cruz,
where it is bred and maintained by the
incredible filth of the Spanish-Ameri-
cans.
8. That when we once get Habana
and give it a thorough cleaning We
shall probably 60 a long ways toward
abolishing yellow fever, and We shall
incidentally save ourselves a vast
amount of money annually, great in
convenience, loss of trade, ETC., due
now entirely to yearly importations of
the dread pest from Habana.
There is little to fear from yellow
fever for our soldiers who 90 to Cuba

Philippines escaping with phenomenally
small losses from camp diseases.

AN AMERICAN CREW,

We have the names and nativities Of
the eight men of the Baltimore who
were injured by the explosion of some
fixed ammunition. If these are fair
sample of the men of the squadron-and
1t is reasonable to assume that they are
it would seem that the victors were as
genuinely an American crowd as could
be well found anywhere. They are:
1. Lieut.. Frank w. Kellogg, who
was born in Waterbury, Conn, in 1857,
and probably belongs to the old and
well-known family of Kelloggs of Con-
necticut
2. Ensign Noble E. Irwin. born in
Greenfield, O., Sept. 20, 1869. Irwins
abound in Ohio, and are among the
States best citizens.
3. Coxswain Michael John Buddinger
enlisted at Chicago, but was born at
Manitowoc, Wis, and is probably either
nearly or remotely of sturdy German
descent.
4. Coxswain Edward Snelgrove was
born in Ellensburg, Wash, 20 years
ago, and his father lives at Takoma,
Wash. The Snelgroves were among the
early immigrants TO America.
Seaman Richard p. Covert is another
representative of the Badger State, and
was born at Racine, Wis, 20 years ago,
and probably belongs to the old Ameri-
can clan of Coverts
6. Seaman VIM. O'Keefe sounds de-
cidedly Kettle, but he was born at
Newark, n. j., 80 years ago. He can
not get far away from Ould Ireland
however, for the Navy record gives bis
"next of kin " as j. L. Leary, of San
Francisco.
z. Landsman Robert /. Barlow ap
parently belongs to another well-known
American family, and was born at Bar
low. Miss.-where bis family still lives
70 years ago.
s. Seaman Rosario Ricciardelli is the
only foreign-born one among them, but
he is a naturalized citizen. He wa.
born in Italy "a years ago, and hi.
"next of kin still lives in Palermo.

Mr.. Rosenbaum's stories of adventures
We're not such as TO captivate the boys with
the career of a spy. But the long stay in
camp was getting very tedious and they
longed for something to break the monOtony Of
camp-guard and of work on the interminable
Notifications. Therefore, when Mr. Rosen-
baum came over one morning with PROPOSE
ton to take them out on an expedition, he
found them ready to go. He went to Regi-
mental Headquarters, secured detail for
them, and returning to the Hoosier's Rest
found the boys lugubriously pulling over
pile of homespun garments they had picked
up among the teamsters and camp followers.

yer question. They patronizingly told
us that they had no doubt that while we
might be defeated at the start, we would
learn from bitter reverses, and finally
whip Spain.
We rudely awake them from this
delusive dream by naval operation
which has not its equal for brilliancy in
the history of the world. Even Great
Britain, with centuries Of "ruling the
wave" and thousand signal victories
to her credit, cannot point to one which
equals this for CELEBRITY in striking, COM
pleteness in results, accomplishment at
the smallest cost
The more they study the victory the
more they will be impressed by it.
There is not detail which is not great.
1t is the first battle in the history of the
world in which something could not be
found to condemn or even criticize.
But the shrewdest critic alive may be
safely defied to find single instance or
feature where he can say that Dewey or
any man under him might have done
better or more thoroughly or more
quickly.
Great is the Star Spangled Banner.

A PIONEER SHOEMAKER,

Mr. James Mcien Of Champaign Has Followed the Shoemaes

From the Gazette Champaign, III.

At the advanced age of eighty-fve years,
James McMillen, of 112 West Washington
street, is one of the most active men in Cham
paign, Illinois. Mr.. McMllen is pioneer
citizen of the city, and his form is as familiar
on the streets a. that of any citizen of the
town. All his life Mr.. McMillen has fol-
lowed the trade Of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he COM
manded when he was young man..
He has little shop OH North Wright street,
In the vicinity Of the University of Illinois,
and he is the official shoemaker, as 1t were,
for the students OF that institution.
About year ago Mr.. McMillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets
The local newspapers announced that he
was dangerously III. For months he was n
sufferer, but finally he appeared again AT
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps, on account OF
sickness. His friends were surprised to see
him out again, and they were more surprised
when he told them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount of local inter-
est in his case, and reporter visited him,
to have him rels to the story.
