much: the writer dwelt earnestly upon
the year that was closing. and particu.

fessed that the ambition OF his life was
to improve the condition of the working

between those who have and those who

Spanish Barbarjty.

The deadly work at Manila was gen.
orally performed in the cool of the
morning. That these events were fully
appreciated was shown by the presence
on the Lunetta Of thousands of people.
Hundreds Of fashionably dressed ladies'
and gentlemen ''graced' the occa sion
with their presence. For the most part
the fashionalsles came in their eauip
ages. These ladies' would stand in their
vehicles. determined not to miss any
part of the CHASTITY show. The signal
from the commanding lieutenant that
the victims were dead was the signal
for these delighted lady spectators to
wave their handkerchiefs and para soils
as evidence of their satisfaction.
AS general thing these were fright.
fully gruesome affairs. There was n
firing squad of five for each unfortu.
nate. This squad of exccutioners would
be stationed about ten PAGES inmedi.
atcly to the rear Of.thelr human target,
In most Instances the soldiers constltut.
Ing the firing squad were natives. They
were secretly In favor Of the rebellion,
and no member Of the squad cared TO
fire the fatal shot. Consequently each
man would aim for the arm or leg. This.
Of course. only added to the horror of
the affair. There was one occasion
when thirteen leading members of the
secret revolutionary society. the Gaia.
punan. were executed. There was not
a single instance at this execution
where the unfortunate was killed by
the first volley. In majority of eases
three or four volleys were required.
and in one instance five volleys were
fired before the surgeon declared the
man dead. The announcement that all
were dead was the signal for music by
the band--gay. triumphal muslc.-Re.

Anecdote Showing the 0rayery Of
American seamen in Danger.
Capt. Isaiah II. Grant, keeper Of the
United States lighthouse department
storehouse on Central Wharf, recalls
an Interesting anecdote that Is particu.
larry appropriate at this time. and goes
to show the stun Of which the Ameri.
can navy Is composed. Captain Grant
Is a brother Of william @. Grant, the
keeper Of the light on Mutinicus Rock.
and Of the later tells this story:
1t was back In 1904, and Commodore
Dewey was then executive officer on
board the United States vessel Color.
ado. william Grant was O seaman on
the same ship. and Is naturally well
posted as to our gallant commodore's
fighting qualities. The Colorado was
steaming into Hampton Roads, Va,
towing large boatload Of sailors, re.
lates the Portland (Nie) Express.
1t was a windy day and the waves
were running high. In some manner
the boat capsized. and 10 moment ev.
cry one was struggling In the water.
All but one, however, succeeded in get.
ting on Its bottom. One sailor who
could not swim sank to the bottom. A
boat was at once lowered from the Col.
orado. william Grant being one Of the
men assigned to II.
The men rowed with a will, and soon
reached the overturned boat and the
sailors clinging to its bottom. They
had 20 much Roadway that the boat
shot over the place where the unfortu.
nate went down. Mr.. Grant was in the
bow keeping sharp lookout for him
when he came to the surface. AZ the
boat moved along he looked down into
the water. which was clear. and plainly
saw the man near the surface. Like q
flash. he scrambled to the stern Of the
boat, and. without hesitating a second.
dived over the coxswain's head for the
drowning man. He calculated Just
right. and In moment had him BY the
collar and succeeded In bringing him
to the surface. Both men were taken
into the boat, and after hard work the
half-drowned sailor was revived. He
owed his life to Mr.. Grants bravery
and prompt action.
The next day Dewey, as executive Of.
hccr. called Mr.. Grant up on to the
quarterback. and before every one
thanked him cordially for his bravery
In rescuing the sailor.
A few years ago when Dewey. then
commodore, visited the Maine coast
and called upon Mr.. Grant at Matini.
Gus. the incident was recalled. and o
long talk was enjoyed by the men.
Commodore Dewey recalled the matter
Instantly and again complimented Mr..
Grant.
