samuel Artingstall. Its Designer. Tells
How It Camc to Be Built.
The man who designed the now ia.
nous iron pier at Baiquiri, upon which
the great siege guns that are soon to be
trained upon the forts Of Santiago dc
Cuba are being landed, was Samuel q.
Artingstall, city engineer of Chicago
during the administration Of John p.
Hopkins. In 1890 ]. H. Clutches, repre-
senting the Spanish American Iron
company Of Santiago de Cuba, sent re-
quest for preliminary specifications for
an iron pier Of great sustaining power
to be built at Baiquiri. Artingstall sent
the desired specifications and the re-
suit was the pier which is now being
used by the troops in landing from their
Transports The pier was built to with
stand the great waves which the hurri.
canes often raise on the Caribbean sea.
Away out from the shore is the pier

sons. Then this artificial island is con-
nected with the land by powerful
iron bridge of trestlework construction.
Upon the bridge there is a turntable, so
that for the uses to which IL is now be-
ing put its construction is admirable.
In speaking of his work Artingstall
said:
THAT pier is strong enough for tho
heaviest of siege guns. The foundations
are solid buttresses, and the superstruc-
ture is just as strong. Above the pier
there Is machinery for the loading Of
ore into ships, and this can now be used
to good advantage by General Shafter.
In fact, the government could not have
planned pier for war purposes which
would meet all its requirements any
better than this st ~uis Globe

that Lieutenant Byram sailed from
