shells. fragments of which would lash
the water like the shrapnel or cut our
hull and rigging.
One large shell that was coming
straight at the Olympia's forward
bridge fortunately fell less than 100 feet
short. One fragment cut the rigging
exactly over the heads of Lamberton,
Rees and myself.
Another struck the bridge gratings
in line with II. A third passed just un-
der Commodore Dewey and gouged n
hole in the deck. Incidents like these
were plentiful.
Our men naturally chafed at being
exposed without returning fire from all
our guns. but laughed at danger and
chatted good-humoredly.
A few nervous fellows could not help
dodging. mechanically. when shells
would burst right over them or close

The roar of all the fiagship's five

One shot struck the Baltimore and

hitting no one. Another ripped up her

exploded q box of three-pounder am

OLYMPIA was struck abreast the gun in
the wardroom by shell which burst
outside, doing little damage.
The signal halysrds were cut from
Lieut.. Brumby's hand on the after
bridge. A shell entered the Boston $
mort quarter and burst in Ensign
Doddridge's stateroom, starting hot
fire. and tire was also caused by shell
which burst in the port hammock net

WAsHINGroS, Monday. - Krenly alive
to the possibility Of the United States
transferring the Philippine Island to
another power, Europe is watching
with intense interest the policy of this
country as to their ultimate destination
1t can be stated ON high diplomatic
authority that, rather than the Philip
pines should become the possession of
any other nation, provided they can
not be returned to spain, Europe, as a
whole, prefers that they shall remain

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept 13-The market
started off this morning with Indications
that the reactionary period had come
to an end. Prices in the railroad list
advanced almost without exception
under the stimulus Of higher prices for
Americans in London, and sharp de-
mand for Peoples Gas on reports that
the dispute with the Indiana Gas Com
pany has been adjusted. Severe depres-
sion in some of the specialties checked
the upward movement. The bears sold
the list freely and their confidence was
justified by the renewal of liquidation
induced by the decline of prices. There
was stubborn resistance TO the decline
in some of the railroad stocks, bul
prices generally fell below yesterday
low point, and dullncss interviewed.
The market was one Of specialties during
the greater part Of the day, and some
declines were shown by quite mum

on the usual buying in anticipation
of to-morrow's dividend disbursement,
but dropped suddenly 43s from the top

assurances during the day that the
period of possible stringency in the
money market had passed, but the mark
ing up of call loans on the board to )
per cent detracted from the effect of
these assurances. Sterling exchange
held steady. however, and there is an
undoubted growth OLA belief that the
present stiffness Of call money rates is
due to technical causes, the influence
of which is not likely to extend far
outside the stock exchange nor to en-
dure there
