that the officer IN the Navy has heavy expenses
and comparatively small pay. He must have

I4TTE RESTING FEATU RES

When the mothers congress assembled
in its afternoon session at the Grand Opera
House Saturday the purple peace flags,
which had been so prominently displayed
earlier in the week, were noticeably absent
and before the gathering dispersed there
had been sufficient expressions of loyalty
and patriotism to relieve the congress COM
pletely of the imputation that it was a
peaee-at-any-price assemblage. The inspir-
alton for it was found in the emphatic de-
NAL of the published statement that the
mothers contemplated sending a message
Of coincidence to the Queen Regent of Spain,
which was voiced in resolutions presented
by Mrs. H. H. Birney of Pennsylvania. dis
claiming any such utterance or intention.
Miss Richards Strikes the Chord.
Miss Janet Richards, without whose wise
assistance the congress would have been
long ago plunged in a dozen dilemmas,
arose, as usual. to the occasion. With her
clear voice vibrating with patriotism she
spoke upon the resolutions, saying they
certainly explained themselves. There

Though the Spaniards had opened fire at
5000 yards. the Americans reserved their
fire until within 1900 yards of the enemy,
when the real battle began.
The Battle.
The Reina Christina, Castillo Don An
tonic de Utica, Isa de Cuba, Isla de Luzon
and the MindaHao were in line of battle
outside of Cavite at that time, with four
gunbcats and the torpedo boats inside the
harbor.
The American ships then passed back
wards and forwards six times across the
front of the Spaniards, pouring in upon the
latter a perfect hail of shot and shell.
almost every Spanish shot missed the
mark.
After having thus scattered death and
decentralization among the Spanish fleet and
in the Spanish batteries the American fleet
retired for breakfast and, incidentally a
council of war was held en- board the Olym-
pia.
BY this time the Spanish ships were in a
desperate condition. The flagship Rena
Christina was riddled with shot and shell,
one of her steam pipes had burst and she
was believed to be on fire. The Castillo
was certainly on fire, and, soon afterwards,
