NORFOLK, VA, December H.-tSpe-
cial.) 1.-The converted yacht gunboats as

SON reached here this morning and pro-
ceeded to take possession or the SPECIFY
and well-armed Sylvia, which has been

CHRISTMAS GIFTS For THEM.
What Might lie Given Dewey, Hob
son, BIancO, and Weyler.

written for the Dispatch.)
To my good friend, the Editor.
or that paper called Dispatch,
7 hope within the following lines,
My meaning you may catch.
Your wish to know what / would give,
AS a Christmas greeting rare,
To Dewey Hobson, Blanco, Weyler,
Requires skill and care.
because TO them, / fear l might
Not give enough by far,
Dewey, Hobson, honors bright,
To Blanco, Weyler, tar.
10 peerless Dewey l would give
The command of all our fleet.
And million crowns Of laurel
I'd lay down at his feet.
From every man, a shout and cheer,
A prayer from every girl,
For the honor of our Dewey,
And the flag he kept unfurled.
To the Spanish butcher. Weyler.
I'd give a banquet rare,
The guests and all the viands
Should be furnished with great care.
Ten thousand Cuban skeletons
Should sit with him at meat,
And the blood of SPANS best soldiers,
Should make his wine more sweet.
He should have Habana sausage,
And Porto Rico pie.
Plum pudding la Philippine,
With concentrated I've.
The groans Of Reconcentradoes,
His banquet song should be,
And waiting TO escort him out,
He'd find old Fitzhugh Lee.
1 would take old Ramon Blanco.
To a panoramic view,
And show him there, a thing or two
Not altogether new.
He should see himself degraded.
OF his cherished honors stripped
And as our friends, the English, say,
Most elegantly hipped.
There'd be views from Santiago,
And from Matanzas bay,
And a little song entitled,
Give that mule more hay"
The surrender of Habana
Would be upon the slide,
And a scurvy towards flight,
To save his Spanish pride.
I'd bring to his remembrance
our gallant ship, the Maine,
And all the lands we've wrested from
The cruel hand Of Spain.
ia show him Spain, one time,
Proud mistress Of the seas,
And I'd show him Spain, denuded
OF all her colonies.
And after seeing ali of this,
II more he wished to see,
I'd show him Spain's proud ministers,
Signing up the Peace Treaty.
For the brave and fearless Hobson,
l can't, to save my life,
Think of thing he needs so much,
AS a precious little wife.
And / hope twill not be thought
Unmaidenly in me,
To say I'd give him such a one,
If only he'd agree.
I'd worship him, I'd cherish him,
I'd honor and obey
And think OF this, he'd get a kiss
On every Christmas day.
So dearest Hobson. let me pray
That if these lines you see,
You'll write at once, or telegraph
How very charmed you'd be.
