Song Of the Shells.

Says correspondent who was
stationed with the American fleet
off Santiago: "Iu the two hot en-
gagements in which I watched the
fighters closely I have never seen
anything indicative of fear. True,
everybody has a curious sensation
as the first shells of the enemy
whistled overhead, and when one
strikes, with its frightful explosion,
you look around anxiously for All
Instant. If the smoke is cleared
from your ship you will see a puff
OF smoke from a battery ashore.
Then just as you have forgotten
the smoke, about three seconds
later, you hear a sound like a
swarm of bees humming over your
head. Pretty soon the shells be-
gin to come faster and faster. They
drop in the water on both sides of
you. One hits the military mast,
and the debris of steel and rope
and wood comes tumbling about
you. You look up wonderingly,
but give it merely an instant's
thought. Then your mind re-
verts to the terrible roar Of your
guns and then comes the single
idea OF keeping outside the radius
of fire, not of enemy's guns, but
those on your own ship, equally
dangerous to your safety, the pres
ervation of your eardrums and your
life.
II stood by Commodore Schley's
side, with flag Lieut.. Sears, during
the first two commandments of San
tiago and we all found ourselves alb
solutely forgetful of peril, watching
the shots from different turrets
and telling the gunners whether to
depress or raise the muzzle of the
gun. We kept accurately the times
of all movements ofopening fire, of
good shots, of silenced batteries,
and of cease firing" The balls
whistle about you with nasty
whine. as if they deplored not be-
ing able to hit you, but half the
time the roar Of the fusilade of
your own ships browns the COM
plant of the enemy's missiles. You
experience at first strange feeling
of enjoyment not unmixed with
terror. Then you grow animated
and discover peculiar sort of
charm in the danger and the game
of life or death"

or G. A. n. Campfire and Governor Pin
gree Kissed and HOoted.

Cincinnati, Sept. 7,-Music hall
was again packed to its fullest ca
pacity tonight for the campfire OF
the G. A. r. presided over by Col
onel w. B. Melish, executive di-
rector of the citizens committee ar
rangements for the encampment.
Last night Governor Atkinson, OF
West Virginia, was to have been
one Of the speakers at the Camp
fire." but he did not arrive in time
to get ticket of admission, and
although he presented letters and
manifold other credentials as to his
identity, he could not pass by the
stubborn policeman at the door
and left in disgust before any one
could reach him for Identification.
While one governor was shut out
with careful prepared speech
in his pocket last night, another
governor was Kissed and hooted out
in still more disgraceful manner
tonight. AS Governor Plngree, OF
Michigan. was compelled 10 leave
at 1880 for Detroit, he was given
the first place on the program.
Governor Piugree in his prolouge
stated that owing to imperative
business he must leave tonight be-
cause the state of Michigan was
preparing to send a hospital train
through to the south to gather up
the sick soldiers of that state. The
governor referred to the misman-
agement and restitution of the SOL
dies. He cited several cases of
abuse and suffering due to the'de.
lay of red tape" and became very
vehement in denunciatiou of such
formalities at the sacrifice Of COM
fort, health and human life. After
citing particular case OF bad man
agement in the distribution of dis
infectants. Governor Pingree said:
"It Secretary Alger-" but Gov.
Pingree never finished that sen
tence. He could not proceed, and
even with the most persistent ef-
forts of Chairman Melish, the gov
ernor was unable to utter another
word. A voice in the audience
cried, "Hurrah tor Alger." The cry
was taken up in a boisterous
chorus. The governor attempted
repeatedly to proceed, but the au-
d'ence refused 10 listen to another
word.
