| COALED AT MARTINIQUE
incidentally the Spanish Commo-
dore Got Posted on Mod
ern History.

Madrid, May Is. 1870 a. m.-There is
great excitement here among the public
officials at the news of the arrival of the
Spanish fleet at Martinique. 1t is now
said the ships went there on purpose
to coal and that two large transatlantic
steamers, loaded with coal, are waiting
them at Fort de France. Another OBJ
ject of the call of the Spanish fleet at
Martinique was to communicate with the
Spanish government and ascertain the
Whereabouts Of the American fleet Adj
miral Corvera now knows everything
which transpired since his departure from
the Cape Verde islands, and he has full
instructions as to his future movements.
The fleet will leave Martinique immedi-
ately for an unknown destination, and, it
is added. some days may elapSe before
the Spanish ships are again heard from.
Great anxiety has been felt III official
circles here since the receipt Of the news
of the bombardment of San Juan de
Puerto Rico by Rear-Admiral Simpsons
fleet
2 p. m.-Another official dispatch from
Porto Rico says: 1.-THE bombardment
only caused slight damage to the bar
racks. Four soldiers were killed and sew
eral were wounded. The squadron re-
tired, having received severe injuries
One big warship had to be towed."
If any one of the warships of the fleet
of Rear-Admiral Sampson was towed, it
was in all probability one of the mont
tors, these vessels having been taken in
tow while on the way from Key West to
Porto Rico in order to save their coal
supply. The official dispatch sent by Rear
Admiral Sampson to the navy depart
ment at Washington distinctly says no
serious damage was done to any of his
ships.

Listen to Whittier:
When first I saw our banner wave
Above the Nations Council hall,
I heard beneath its marble wall,
The clanking letters of the slave,
In the foul market place I stood
And saw the Christian mother sold
And childhood with its locks of gold

ing. How like asthing of life the old
flag ran. mid fire and smoke and terri
bic carnage to the top of command
everywhere, and how the insurgent
coIors sank before ii. And it is still
a power as England in Venezuela dis
covered, as Spain is learning in Cuba
and the Philippines today. Why this
power in this bit of bunting? Be
cause these our comrades stained
its stripes a deeper red with loyal
blood
1t was also given to these history
makers of more than One-third of
century gone to demonstrate that a
free government, of the people, for
the people and by the people, is a pos
sibility.
Again and again had the experiment
OF democracy been tried, but it had al
ways failed most disastrously. The
Jews tried it in Palestine. Greece,
Rome and France failed signaIly. With
these failures in mind, Webster thirty
years before. Sumpter said: IF we
also fail, popular government will for
ever be an impOssibility." And so
thought the world. When, in 81, the
lurid fires of civil war lighted our Wes-
tern horizon, Carlyle, the English cy-

mic, said "a foul chimney is burn
| ing itself out over there" He voiced
the glad thought of depotism every
where and the town-trOdden and op-
pressed throughout all the world hid
| their faces in despair.
But in that critical hour two mill
lion brave soldiers stretched forth
their hands to stay the tottering ark of
liberty. One-half a million willingly
went to their death. America and the
world owes it to these men that free
government is no longer an expert
ment but an Omnipotent fact, a fact
as dear to the South as the North, for
President Mckinley, the worthy sue
cessOr of Washington, Adams, Jeffer-
son, Lincoln, finds no more loyal sup
port north of the Mason-Dixon line
than that which comes to him from the
South.
Think for a moment what would
have been the result had these com
rades failed in this part of their work.
Instead of a grand, strong nationali-
ty, two weak, rival, jealous republics,
would be side by side, suspiciously
watching each other. What nation
would then have dared to say to Spain:
Starvation and butchery in Cuba
must cease"
1t was the mission of these men also
to strike down slavery and to make
free speech the right of every Ameri-
can from one end of the land to the
other. Americans born since 1861 do
not realize the priceless boon, the free
dom of speech, which we now possess,
nor at what cost it was purchasd. 1t
n n n
it some other land and breathe for
time different atmosphere. 1t is told
that a bright American girl, graduate
of Wellesley, formed one of an excur-
sion party on an American steamer in
the Mediterranean. They spent sew
eraI weeks in Constantinople. In her
shopping tours she made the acquain-
tance of an intelligent Turkish mer-
chant. One day after having cOmplet-
ed her purchases. this American girl
said TO Ali: why do not the Turks
of your class say to the government
that these horrible Armenian atroci-
ties must cease?'
Ali sprang from his cross legged pO-
sition on his mat and bowing low, said
in bated breath: I'VE do not speak"
But you ought to speak. In Ameri-
ca if the men did not put an end to
such atrocities, we women would rise
and overthrow such a government in
a single day"
Madam" said Ali, I'VE dare not
speak
Passing through the streets she
met an artist acquaintance who was
making his temporary home in Con-
stantinople. She repeated the incident

Blue-eyed and fair with Saxon blood

Blue-eyed and fair with Saxon blood
I shut my eyes and held my breath
, And smothering down the wrath and
shame
That set my northern blood afame,
Stood silent, where to speak was
death.
On the oppressor's side was power:
And yet. knew that every wrong,
However old, however strong,
But waited Gods avenging hour!
1 knew that Truth would crush the lie:
Somehow, sometime the end would
be;
Yet scarcely dared I hope to see
The triumph with my mortal eye.
But now 1 see it! In the sun
A free flag floats from yonder dome,
And at the Nations hearth and home
The Justice, 1ong-delayed, is done.
Yes, thank God, we live at last under
a free flag. Wherever the Stars and
Stripes float there is freedom both for
the bodies and brains of men. No
longer, North or South, do they
shackle the hands or tongues of
Americans. We owe this boon of
nation, free in fact as well as in name
to the brave men of 1861.
We living comrades, survivors of a
passing generation, join in honOring
the patriots who are today making
new page in history. We too, love our
Dewey, Sampson, Miles, also Foote,
Farragut, Grant and Lincoln. All
honor to our living heroes who are
making history. Honor also for our
dead comrades who made history.
That is a grand army gathered at
Chickamauga, now facing Cuba and the
grand work cut out for it there. That
is also a grand army in charge of Com
rade Merritt now on the ocean speed
ing its way to Manila by the way of
Honolulu.
But also were those armies grand,
one under Grant which fought it's way
through the Wilderness by way of
Petersburg to AppOmatox. and that
other under Sherman, which marched
from Atlanta to the sea. And when
their grand work was done these two
armies, you remember, held review
in Washington. Of them, some one
wrote:
Did you see them yesterday
Marching down the broad highways.
Did you hear the distant drum
And the peoples shout, "They Gomez"
If with me you then had stood,
Seen that city's multitude,
On their front. their rear, their fanks,
Pressing in their very ranks
Gods, Methinks ye would have spared
Half a lifetime to have shared
All the swelling thoughts that then
Met those swarthy battle men.

THE PROCESSION.

The members of the regular and vol
unteer companies arrived at the Drill
Shed in good time, formed quickly and
marched away promptly. From the
Drill Shed the soldiers marched to the
boat landing where they met a com
pany of bluejackets from the u. S. S.
Bennington in command of Lieutenant
Eaton. The sailor boys were ready on
time and Grand Marshal De La Vergne
was there to assign them to their
place in the procession. 1t did not
take long to do this customary courte-
sy and in about FIVE minutes the SOL
diers and sailors were on their way
to Harmony Hall on King street where
the members of Geo. w. De Long Post.
G. a. R. and the Army and Navy Uni
on from the Bennington were wait
ing
The soldiers and sailors marched to
Alakea street, where they faced about
in line. The members of the G. A. r.
were soon in their wagonettes and,
followed by the members of the Army
and Navy Union, joined the first part
of the procession and marched up Ala
kea street. The procession then con-
tinued up Emma and turned over on
Vineyard to Fort. From Fort the line
of march was across School to Nuuanu
and up to the cemetery.
The procession was not as large as
it was last year but the appearance
was fine There was an absence of the
police as well as officials of the Gov
ernment
There were in all six companies of
volunteers and two OF regulars in the
procession. Their excellent marching
was commented upon frequently by
people along the way. Col. Fisher was
in command of the Regiment.
There were three wagonettes used
by the members of the G. A r. In
the first, with Post Commander Greene
and other veterans, rode Lieut.. Win
and Assistant Paymaster Du
Bois OF the Bennington. Each of the
G. A. r. men carried a small bouquet
of flowers with which to decorate the
graves of their dead comrades.
The detachment of members of the
Army and Navy Union was twenty
three strong and in command of Chief
Master-at-arms Mckay. OF these. 20
were from the Bennington and three
from the city. The latter brought up
the rear. The band, in command of
Captain Berger and the drum corps,
were never in finer shape.
Everything went off in good shape
from the start at the Drill Shed to the
end of the march at Nuuanu Gene
terry and for this a great deal of credit
must be given to Col. De La Vergne,
he Marshal of the day.
Upon returning from the cemetery
he soldiers escorted the Bennington
back to the boat landing and
hen returned to the Drill Shed.
