Sunday by the ringing of the fire

Some of the answers received in
the examination of physiology at
the superintendent Office are
ludicrous. Here are few of them:
The food passes from the mouth
to the stomach through the eusta-

small bone at the root of the ton
gue;' THE functions of the
muscles are to walk with and do
other work." The aqueous humor
is the Oil that lubricates the knee
Joint etc. These are exceptions
Mr.. Spencer informs us, and the ex-
aminations taken so far as whole
are above the average.

she found her last resting place. AS
it was apparent that the Iowa could
not possibly catch the Cristobal Colon,
and that the Oregon and Brooklyn un-
doubtedly would, and as the fast New
York was also in her trail, I decided
that the calls of humanity should be
answered and attention given to the
twelve or fifteen hundred Spanish Off

ors to the American squadron COM
manded by Admiral Sampson.

dozens or roasted on the decks. I soon
discovered that the insurgent Cubans
from the shore were shooting on men

having surrendered to us. I imme-

Cervera and a number OF his officers
aboard, and also a large number Of
wounded, some in frightfully man
gled condition. Many prisoners had
been killed on shore by the fire of the
Cubans. The Harvard came of and
requested Capt. Cotton to go in and
take of the crews Of the Infanta Maria
Teresa and the Alm1rante Oquendo and
by midnight the Harvard had GIG pris-
oners aboard, a great number Of them
wounded. For courage and dash there
is no parallel in history to the action
of the Spanish admiral. He came, as
he knew, to absolute destruction. He
he knew, to absolute destruction. There
was one single hope-that was that the
Cristobal Colon would steam faster
than the Brooklyn. The spectacle of
two torpedo boat destroyers, paper
shells at best, deliberately steaming

fire of battleship can be described in

the westward the 12-inch shells from
the forward turret of the Iowa seemed
to- strike him fair in the bow, and the
fight was spectacle. AS the squadron
came out in column, the ships beauti-
fully spaced as to distance and grad
ually increasing their speed to thirteen
knots, it was superb. The Iowa from
this moment kept up a steady fire from
her heavy guns, heading all the time
to keep the Infanta Maria Teresa on
her starboard bow and hoping to ram
one of the leading ships. In the
meantime the Oregon, Indiana,
Brooklyn and Texas were doing excel
lent work with their heavy guns. In a
very short space of time the enemy's
ships we're all clear of the harbor
mouth, and it became, evidently impos-
sible for the Iowa to ram either the
first or the second ship on account of
their speed.
