for more than thirty years to the en-
tire satisfaction Of his subjects. His
tasks have been easier than his fathers.
He has followed in the path laid down
by the first King, and to this policy
may be attributed the success Of his
rule.
A man cannot be altogether unde-
serving of regard of whom an ardent
republican can say: 1T requires a
very small effort for a republican to
live under a monarchy. at the head of
which is placed a monarch, who, like
Leopold H., observes sincerely and 10y
ally the constitution. The King himself
has too lofty spirit to believe that
there is in Belgium single republican
who could wish for his overthrow"
Leopold has recently offered an inter-
national prize of twenty-five thousand
francs, to be awarded in 1901, for the
best work on the military history of the
Belgians from the time of the Roman
invasion to the present day. The his
tory may be written in English, French
German, Spanish, Italian or Flemish.
The competition is open to the world.

It was at this time that a remarkable

1t was at this time that a remarkable
demonstration Of their regard for him
was made by the people of Brussels.
The King upon leaving his palace one
day was surrounded by dense throng,
each man and woman insisting upon
shaking him by the hand. All sorts and
conditions Of men made up the assem-
bly,. 1t was two hours before the King
could extricate himself from what liter
ally became the embraces of his people.
Late in his reign. indeed, toward it's
close. Leopold wrote to one Of his min
listers: Il have been a happy King"
In these few words he summed up his
own life and the national life of Bel
GUM since he had been called to rule it.
Leopold's second wife, and the moth
err of the present King, was the Prin-
cess Louise, daughter of Louis Phil
ippe, the King of France. He was mar
ried to this princess on the 9Th of Aug
ust, 1882, soon after he became pos
sessed Of the Belgian throne.
Her mind never recovered from the
fearful shock Of his execution. The
splendid title Of Empress of Mexico
became the bitterest mockery to her.
The present King of Belgium, Leo
pold H., was born in Brussels in 1885.
In his youth he was known as the Duke
of Brabant. He entered the Senate in
1858, in virtue of his political majority.
He takes deep interest in the fine arts,
in commerce and manufacturing He is
interested also in the future of Africa
and It's development. His manner is
said to be simple and cordial he is
popular with his subjects, who are
willing to overlook certain well-known
defects in his character, which they
consider more than atoned by his abso-
lutte refusal to be drawn into the never
ending conflict between the clericals
and the liberals-the two political par
ties Of Belgium. He has reigned now

A BODY to Be Proud OF.

The company of infantry we began
enlisting five minutes after the dec
laration of war paraded again Wednes-
day afternoon with full ranks, and all
agree that the showing was very cred

United States, as far as heard from,
to raise body of men for the war, and
if we step rather high and wear our hat

without a name. A portion of the
command wants to be called: The
Hellso Rangers" after us, and another
portion stands out for the title of The
Giveadammers, after the town. 1t is
likely that within a week or so an
agreement will be reached, and mean

She managed to survive the shock, not
withstanding all that has been claimed
Tor heavy projectiles. A little later two
more shells from the battle ships found
a mark near the water line, ripping
great gaps in the plates, through which
the water poured in torrents.
1t was these two shots that put her
out OF the fight. and forced her to head
for the beach, though the murderous
pounding was not over with.
The experience Of the Almirante
Oquendo was about the same as that
of the Infanta Maria Teresa. Two
heavy projectiles crippled her, and
compelled her to run ashore. One of
these was a thirteen-inch shell which
found Its way through her port bow,
leaving a ragged hole; another shell
took effect on the port quarter.
Just six shots landed squarely on the
Christobal Colon but that was enough.
AS she forged past the Iowa and to
the front of the fleeing column she
planted two six-inch shells in the bat
tleship's starboard bow; one Of these
passed through the cofferdam, and af-
ter traversing the dispensary, exploded
on the berth deck. The other remained
near the water line and did
not explode.
The Vizcaya lasted almost an hour.
Her officers state that it was s, 6, 5,
and 4-inch shells that We're too much for
her. Whenever the shot from these

while there will be daily drills and
dress parades. Our object was to fight
the Spaniards, and the next to steal
their army mules and ship them back
to Arizona as matter of profit. AS
infantry we use the regular army tao
tics; as mule-gobblers we use tactics
invented by ourself. Wednesday after
noon, at the exhibition drill, eighteen
mules were stationed at different
points, and within seven minutes from
the Opening of hostilities" our boys
had every one. They go in pairs, and
while one lassoes the mule around the
neck the other twists his tail, and be-
tween the two they run him off at the
rate of sixteen miles an hour.

1t would Of course be impossible to
estimate just how many shots were
fired by both sides during the progress
of the great sea fight at Santiago. Cap
tain Evans, of the Iowa, states that his
ship fired 81 twelve-inch shells, 4S
eight-inch, go four-inch, l, 800 six-pound
and 200 one-pound shots.
From two six-pounders alone 44O
shots were fired in fifty minutes, while
Corporal Smith, in the same length of
time, fired 1875 shots from one of the
Iowa's four-inch guns. 1t was in close
proximity to this particular gun that
two shells from the enemy struck and
exploded, starting small fire. Smith
kept on firing away, however, only
stopping long enough to remark:
"They have got it in for this gun"

A fact made plainly apparent in the
progress of our war with Spain Is that
the United States, by manifest destiny,
must become great naval power. 1t
is something more than question OF
national expansion; it is essential to
our preservation as nation that we
possess d navy powerful enough to up
hold the rights of Americans and to
make the American flag respected in all
lands and seas. To make such navy
effective implies the possession Of naval
stations in the Eastern and Western
Hemispheres, which shall serve as rem
devious and bases of supply for our
warships in distant waters.

The Gloucester fired 1,4oo shots in her
exciting battle with the torpedo boat
destroyers.
Shortly after the first shot was fred
from the Iowa to attract the attention
OF the other ships and to warn them Of
Cervera's dash for liberty or destruc-
ton in the open ocean, every available
gun on our fleet was pumping projec-
tiles of some sort at the Spaniards.
But 1t was soon seen that it was the
4, ., 6, and S-inch shells that were doing
the most harm. The shots from these
cut and riddled the superstructure,
starting fires, and creating widespread
havoc.
Those who have been aboard the
Spanish ships as they lie scattered
along the Cuban shore, describe them
as resembling big modern steel build
ings after fire. Engines, coal bunkers
and magazines form a melted and
blackened mass in the interior of each
vessel. Deck beams are twisted, evil

cause we imported as much of them as
ever. OF course, that was false. Dur
