Chief Engineers CoHeCtlon-Insur-
gents and Churches - After
Prlests-Old Organ Reed.

Chief Engineer Pierson of the Unit
ed States troopship Valencia which ar
rived in port from Manila last Satur-
day is something of a collector him
self. His stateroom on board that yes
sci is a veritable museum of defunct
shells, bullets, cannon balls and a vari-
ETY. of fixtures plucked from the engine
room of the Reina Christina, the Span
ISL man-of-war sunk by Dewey, which
lies quite exposed at low tide on the
beach at Manila
There is an interesting object, an old
bass reed, from the cathedral at Cavite,
looted by the insurgents before the
American troops landed. They left
nothing except what was nailed down
Cavite Cathedral is 300 years old and
when Engineer PiersOn blew a deep
note out Of the old reed it seemed 10
come from about ten centuries ago.
Mauser bayOnets, machetes, wicked
looking Malay curved dirks, grape shot
from the fort at Cavite, a reducing
valve from one of the sunken Spanish
cruisers engines, gun barrels with
stocks burned off, breech plugs from
ruined cannon and other rusty looking
pieces of iron and brass, each with a
history, make up the booty. Nothing
intrinsically of value but a story for
every one of them.
The cathedrals of Manila and Cavite
are magnificent" says Chief Engineer
Pierson. But they seemed to have
been conducted by as big a lot of
scrOundrels as remain unhung. So
when the FilipinOs gained their vic
tory, their yengence was visited on the
priests first of all. They were mutilat-
ed in a most horrible manner and then
finally shot or hung"
Why" continued PiersOn, men and
women had to wear tags like dogs who
are taxed. These showed the authOri-
ties that they had paid the church
tithes. The Manila churches are now
used as prisons for the Spanish sol
diers.'
1t was good run over to Manila for
the Valencia. She made good time and
kept ahead of the other steamers, Nor
gan City, Newport, Ohio, Indiana and
City of Para The Indiana was in pill
kia nearly the whole trip. The Indi-
ana and Ohio left for Nagasaki just
previous W the v ICuCld Sailing 1IOIu
Manila.
There was not a sick man on board
when the Valencia finally anchored off
Cavite, July 31st at p. m. She had
sailed from Honolulu, July 9th. Four
days after the Valencia landed the
Dakota troops from on board. After
the bonn bardment she moved over to
Manila and discharged her stores and
then returned to Cavite where after a
weeks stay coaIing and preparing for
sea, she moved back again to Manila,
sailing from there September 3rd, after
just five weeks and one days stay.
Three hundred tons of coal Will be
taken on board the Valencia and she
will sail for San Francisco tomorrow
afternoon or Wednesday morning and
expects to reach there in eight and
half days.

ADJUSTMENTS.

ROSABEL MORRISON IN CARMEN
The cynic and pessimist continually
cry out the decadence Of the stage. The
cynic and the pessinnist continually
crop up and have their little cry, and
then resolve themselves back into that
atmosphere of innocuOus desuetude
from which they emerged just to have
their little fling at other peoples tastes
and desires. The stage is in no danger
OF decay so long as the public spends
its money in its support. Wholesome
entertainment is just as necessary as
wholesome food. 1t is the trash that
decays. Sound diet is always IN de-
mand. An example of the survival Of
the flttest is the great success that has
been achieved by dainty, pretty, clever
ROsabel Morrison in her production Of
Carmen" 1t seems to hit the popular
fancy, and being wholesome and enter
tanning, IL does not produce dyspepsia,
and silences the cynics and pessimists.
Miss Morrison has produced her play
with lavish care, she has surround
ed herself with capable actors and ac-
tresses, and she has a splendid play.
This combination has evidently hit the
public taste satisfactorily all around.
Carmen" will be seen in this city Fri
day, March 1S, at the Grand Opera
House, and Wilmington people will
doubtless find themselves worshipping
at the shrine of the gypsy beauty as the
others have done

Those who believe that a naval Of
ficers life In times of peace is one OF
ease Will undoubtedly change their
views after reading the following ex-
perience as told by a well-known Off
Ger in the United States Navy:
i came very near going up into the
air in small bits in this last squadron
cruise. We were at heavy gun prac-
tice at sea, and but for the quiclness
or gunner's mate would never have
returned. AS you probably know. the
heaYy guns in the turrets are fired bv
electricity, the gun being discharged
simply by pressing a button. The off,
Ger In command Of the forward tuiret
ON our ship during rapid-fring prac-
tice was just about TO press the but
ton TO fire one OF our big guns when a
gunner's mate was seen to erab at
something on the wall Of the turret and
then fall in a heap on the floor. The
OFFICER pressed the button, but the gun
was not discharged. When the mate
came to he was asked what had han
pened, and he informed the officer that
the breech of the gun had not been
locked, and that what he grabbed at
on the wall was the wires forming the
electric firing circuit When he saw
that the officer was prepared to fire
the gun, and at the same time observed
that the breech Of the gun was not
locked, the only thing that occurred 10
him to prevent the gun being dis
charged was 10 destroy the circuit
which he did promptly and effectively
When all this occurred there was a
charge OF go pounds Of powder in this
gun, another charge OF the same size
IN the turret ready to be served. and
the passageway leading to the powder
magazine was wide open But for this
quickness OF the glnner's mate the elir
would have been discharged, the breeof
block would have been blown out in,

burning powder would probably hav,
ignited the powder in the magazine
and the chances are that the Who'll,

THRILLING WAR PLAY.

The engagement of Northern
Lights" which is announced at the
Grand Opera House for the first three
nights of next week, will be given at
popular prices of 10, 20 and 80 cents,
and will probably draw large audi
ences. The play, when produced last
season, received the stamp of popular
approval The New York press says
that it is the most consistently
written war play of modern times.
Several interesting and unique features
are introduced in the story, of which
prenatalism is probably the most inter
esting. The play abounds in thrilling
situations and startling climaXes, and
the comedy scenes are deliciously droll
and absolutely original. Sixty people
take part in the great battle scene. This
will be the first time this company has
ever played at these prices.
