tainS the view 1 expressed to the World
some time since that the Spaniards are
no match whatever for the Americans,
either in strategy or in the skilled use
of modern weapons of war;
Gibson Bowles, NJ. p, also an au-
thority on naval matters, said:
1T is perfectly clear in my opinion
that the Spanish fleet has been knocked
into cooked hat. They are only let
ting us know the facts by degrees, and
something in their dispatches are not
easy to comprehend.
They say that the Americans landed
their wounded, but Dewey would never
do that unless he had taken a base of
operations on shore, and doubtless we
shall hear later that he has done So.
But unless he gets assistance from the
insurgents he may find it difficult to
maintain himself. He has, under the
circumstances, been unable to bring SOL
diers to make the power of the fleet
effective. But nevertheless he achieved
a brilliant piece of work, and which,
the more we hear of it, the more adj
mirable it is likely to appear"
Political consequences are likely to
ensue from the United States capture
Of the Philippines. which has caused
immense interest here. Germany has
long had a covetous eye upon these
rich lands, while British interests have
been a bar to any deal with Spain and
Germany in relation to them. Japan
also is known to eagerly desire these
possessions.

In Remembrance Of Shandon Park.

\ certain young man who Is in
clined to be poetical, and who is
we'll known h reaboutS, sent Us
the following, but mot for publ
cation:
On Shandon'S Hill we're now cncamp,
ed,
On South Cardinals soil,
Where Colon@lS, Captains, and their
Divide their Tnclc'S spoil.
O d ShanGrn'> Hill must II" the land.
OF "TaIers". Beef, and Rice.
And 50 to you. my soldier friends.
The >tCry III net tell twice.
The Soups We have are very good,
OF Potatoes. Beef and Rice.
All mixed together in Il pot.
Eut must not tell it twice:
How dear. how dear. that blessed dish
Will ever b" TO me:
And so say my first full dish
VIII ne'er forgotten be.
Old Shandon'S nuta land Of plaques,
OF reptiles, nor OF rats:
But get away and say no more.
But fear the bic black gnatS:
The flies are not so numerous,
As in Pharoah'S land.
But when yGu lay beneath Your tent
You often hear damn.
There is another creature
Whose bill is pretty long.
And wien he flies about your head
He often sings song.
In morning when the Buglc blows,
'TiS time to wash and drink:
And then as soon aS Roll is called.
We start straight fer the sink.
And when you reach the mentioned
spot.
There's something to behold:
\ hundred creatures there you'll tind
Like chickens on pcle.
And then again TO tent we 60,
70 get oGr mornings drilI:
And so we ramble Shandon DER
Till everything is still.
And then to town and round about
Our Regiment viii mix,
And play old five and "cusS" the flies
Till the Bugle blows for six.
Then cut again we all will go,
On Shand0n'S gnattv glade,
And Col. JCneS around will come
TO see the Dress Parade.
And then again we tcntWard go
In steps Of double quick,
And dahble in cur Soups and Reef
Till face and hands are slick:
And then again when feast is DER
We look along the Rank,
And Albert Smith will play the tune
For ali the rest TO prank.
"Old johnson Bays" and katie
Cline"
Are sure tOuSa treat.
And then ycu need not be SURPRISED
To hear old "Cripple Creek" "
And then again when morn does
We'ra all reused up from bed.
And marched along the different
lines
To eat orr Wasp Nest bread.
And So. my friends. this is the life
OF Uncle Sans ''Blue' Boys.
And to a country lad like me
There are not many joys:
But still we stay on Just the same,
Till Uncle Sam says quit,
And try to pass the hours by,
Till we get home. but-nit.
Sometime again, in future days,
At no far distant time,
This subject | my try again,
And maybe make it rhyme.

small town there were IS habi

previous they had buried one OF
their number on a Sunday after
noon, he having died on the pre-
Vious Saturday; that on their re.
turn from the funeral they had
stopped in a saloon where they
drank freely and ordered supper
which they called in derision the
