Fight Lasted -Four Hour.

Before the battle of Cavite the Olym-
pia. the Boston. the Raleigh. the Con-
cord, the 2etrel and the Monocacy en-
tered the bay under cover of darkness by
the smaller and safer Bocachica channel.
The forts of CorregIdor island gave the
alarm by firing on the intruders, but they
seem TO have inflicted no serious dam
age. The American squadron moved up
the bay and at o'clock in the morning
appeared before Cavite Here. lying I'M
der the shelter OF the forts was the
Spanish squadron. Admiral Montejo, a
few days before. went TO Subic bay to
look for the enemy. but learning that they
were vastly superior in force had pru-

der the protection OF the forts This was
his only chance of meeting the enemy
on something like equal terms. and it did
not suffice. Soon the Americans opened
fire. The Spaniards replied vigorously
and the combat continued without inter-
ruption for four hours. during which the
Don Antonio de Ulloa was sunk. the Cas-
tila and Mindanao were set on fire and
the Reina Maria Christina and the Don
Juan de Austria were seriously damaged.
One or two of the smaller craft were
scuttled by their crews to escape car
ture. Others took refuge in small
neiEhboring creek emptying into Baker
bay. where. presumably. the American
ships were unable to follow them. But
no one surrendered.

Officials of southern railroad lines

cultural products from that region will
be thirty per cent heavier than any
former year. II is less than twenty
years since Mississippi farmers began
to grow early vegetables for markets
outside their own state. Shipments are
now made to points as far north as
Portland. Me-, and even across the At

cars have made these shipments pos
sible. For many years the southern
truck farmer confined his attention to
the tomato crop. and 1t was uniformly
profitable. Two years ago some insect

is extending the variety of vegetables
