HOW A SAILORS PAY GOES.
Reckless Jack Tar Usually Squanders
His Wages, Sometimes
by Proxy.

What do the jack tars in the navy
do with all their money, has often
been asked, although most people have
satisfa elton beforehand by deciding
that they spent it the first chance they
got. Many of the younger or newer
ones do get rid of their cash at the first
opportunity. but then they spend it
themselves and get their moneys
worth, or what they think or are made
to believe is their moneys worth.
Those who are really warm in their
following seldom take all. their wages
from the paymaster. They let him
keep it during the cruise and draw four
per cent. interest on it until the cruise
is over. Then, of course, some spend
it all before they go back to the ship.
They have good time all in lump
and are satisfied to wait for extrava-
giant days again until another cruise
is over. These are the men who have
no:%one except themselves to care for.
While on the man-of-War they need not
go short of anything and yet not use
their money. Moreover, they Will prob
ably attend to their duties better and
have a much finer time when the cruise
is*at an end.
!" Those who have wives or families or
:relatives to care for usually send their
money home regularly and faithfully.
Often, however, their confidence is
meanly abused. Married men make up
this class. They send their wives COM
Portable incomes and that is all these
wives care for them for. These are
the wives who married simply for what
there was in marriage in a money way,
with the additional advantage or con-
venience of not having husband
around much. Unluckily for women of
this class, not all jack tars can main
tain wives. Only chief petty officers or
tirst-rate petty officers can afford the
luxury of marriage, and even they have
to watch out pretty keenly not to i'm
pair the due to their better halves.
Many of these better halves are adj
venturesses pure and simple, who make
it business to get acquainted with
naval men, make an impression, get
married and then take the money sent
to them and do what they please
marry, some one else at another navy
yard Belonging to another ship some
times. and keep track Of the cruises of
the vessels.
The older men seem to fall most east
ly before the adventures. And when
they discover their mistake and have
obtained divorces and are free again
usually get back into the same boat.
:" Still, many a woman is sailors wife
who has not seen him for years who
is just as good and true and saving as
woman ever was. She takes care Of

Tor JOY when she can meet him at the

cases are just as true to their wives,

TRAFFIC AT MANILA STOPPED.
Attitude of the Insurgsnt Troops Consid-
cred . Menace.

Manila, Oct. 23.-The commission of
Spaniards sent here recently by Gener-
al Rios, Spains chief representative in
the Philippines and governor general
of the southern portions of the archi
pelago, arranged n temporary CONNER
cial convention, and accordingly inter-
islShd traffic was resumed, but 1t Is
now again interrupted, this time by or
ders from General Rios.
The steamer San Nicholas, which left
Manila yesterday flying the American
flag, was compelled to return by II
Spanish gunboat. whose commander
offered as plea for his action that the
crew consisted of Filippinos who
might smuggle contraband articles.
The San Nicholas. after reporting
her experience, sailed again, followed
by the United States gunboat McCul
loch. The insurgents steamer Muriola
entered MANILA harbor flying the insur
gent flag, which was promptly hauled
down by the Americans.
Yesterday the British consul at Ma
nila convened n meeting of merchants
to discuss the commercial deadlock.
British capital to the amount of 5000
100000 has been lying idle here for six
months. In the existing conditions bus
inesS relations with the provinces have
been in many cases suspended. The
meeting resolved to make an urgent
appeal to the British government to
endeavOr to hasten settlement of
pending issues.
The attitude Of the insurgent troops
has become menncing. Their supplies
are growing scarce and they are get
ting desperate. Their leader assures
the troops who have had no pay for
months that they will soon capture

SIMPSONS REPORT.
HISTORY OF NAVAL MOVE
MENTS.
The Admirars Experience with Monitors
Was Not to Their Advantage.

Washington. ID. c., Oct. 23.-The
Navy department has made public that
portion of Admiral Simpsons report
covering the conduct of the fleet under
his command, in its operations in the
West Indies for about two months pri-
or to the destruction of Admiral Ger
vera's ships July 3.
1t is made up largely of official dis
patches and the movements of the fleet
with explanations and comments by
the admiral. The report is dated Au-
gust 3, on the flagship New York, and
begins with statement of the deter
mination reached by the Navy depart
ment to send squadron to the Wind
ward Passage for the purpose of Obser-
walton, because of information receiv-
ed of the sailing April 70 of Admiral
Cervera's squadron from the Cape
Verde islands.
On the voyage eastward from the ma
val base at Key West, which began
May 4, Admiral Sampson reports there
was experienced endless troubles and
delay because of the inetficiency of the
two monitors accompanying the other
ships, and which had to be taken in
tow. Their coal supply was SO small
that it was Mt once evident that they
must either frequently coal or be tow
ed. The admiral says:
Had the sea been rough, or had the
enemy appeared at this juncture, the
squadron would have been in much
better position for an engagement had
the monitors been elsewhere. Subse-
quently. when engaging the batteries
of San Juan, it was evident that their
shooting was bad. Owing to the quick
rolling of these vessels, even in Il mod
crate sea, they We're unable to fire with
any degree of accuracy"
