hop A short distance away Spanish
cruiser is firing a broadside at him. while in
the middle distance two Spanish ships are
burning like Fourth Of July bonfires. Be-
tween the Olympia and the Spanish fleet the
bay 10 covered with fountains, where the
shells from Spanish guns have fallen short,
and are kicking up the water. Jack-every
young chap who runs away to sea and be-
comes dime novel hero is called Jack-has
just sunk Spanish ship or two from the
fighting top Of the flagship. He had gone
there against the admraps orders, and
when the gunners were overcome he took
charge Of things and plunked hot shot into
the right place. As he hands the admiral
his fighting stimuant "the grim warrior
looked at him with amazement In his hand
some face. for the lieutenant had just told
him that he was the one who had destroyed
the crew Of the Spanish ship which was go
ing down."
On the first page are vignettes of Dewey
and Jack Starr, the hero. and a small pic
ture Of Jack tossing burly Spanish sailor
into the air. The story gives the details of
the battle of Manila with a freedom and
particularly that no newspaper has been
able to do. Perhaps, however, this Is the

A Word for the Army

In our praise OF the navy let US not forget
the army. We are seafaring people, and
perhaps we have a natural inclination to
glorify the sailor at the expense Of the
soldier. But the work of our troops before
Santiago, their energy and courage, their
endurance OF hardship, and their indiffer-
ence to deadly peril-these are things Of
which we have every reason to be proud.
Even the German military attache on the
scene expressed his admiration for their
behavior, and Germans are not apt to ad-
mire anybody but themselves. The long
list Of killed and wounded shows how ad-
verse the conditions were and how ex-
cusable 1t might have been had our soldiers
foatered little before them.-Providenc
