and diamond ornament was clasped on
the hal over the forehead, and big
jewelled ornaments hung from her ears

ian OF ivory and feathers, and used il
gracefully TO screen her face from the
gaze Of the curious. The bride kepc her
eyes on the floor as the ceremony was
performed in the simple manne in which
such weddings by the aldermen are al
ways conducted. She swore 10 love.

quence was done. !"
Surgeon Kindleberger adds a few
facts to Colonel LIQUIDS story. He was
on the Olympia throughout the fight.
He said:
SIN the first assault the flagship took
the lead, the other vessels following in
her wake at four ship lengths. The
Spanish feet was approached by laps,
each turn bringing the contestants near
er together. By this plan the American
vessels frequently poured broadsides
into the enemy, but were themselves
more exposed to fire. At one time the
smoke became SO dense that it was nee
essary to draw aside to allow the cloud
to lift. The vessels were examined, and
1t was discovered they had sustained no
damage. The men were badly tagged
by the two hours work at the guns in
the great heat, and breakfast was serv-
ed. Then they re-entered the fight with
the greatest enthusiasm.
"The second fight was even moro
fierce than the first. 1t was in that that
the Baltimore was struck. During the
first fight the Spanish admiral's ship
steamed bravely out to the line to meet
the Olympia. The entire American fleet
concentrated its fire on her, and she was
so badly injured that she turned around
to put back. At this %juncture tho
Olympia let fly an 8 inch shell, which
struck her in the stern and pierced
through almost her entire length, ex-
ploding finally in the engine room and
wrecking her machinery. This shell
killed the captain and 60 men and set
the vessel Oh fire.
"The Spanish admiral Immediately
transferred his flag to the cruiser Isla
de Cuba. Several smaller vessels of the
American feet and the Boston centered
their fire on this ship, and literally tore
her to pieces. The admiral was slightly
wounded and escaped in a small boat
into Bacoor bay and finally to Manila"
Gunner Evans of the Boston, who di-
rected the fire of one Of the big guns on
the cruiser, says that throughout the
battle the fighting forces Of all the ships
were as cool as if engaged at target prac-
tice.-New York Sun.

trance to Manila harbor into two chan
nels. There was perfect stiffness on
each ship of the fleet. The men were at
quarters, and everything was in perfect
readiness as they steamed slowly
through the wide channel to the south
Of Corregidor island. Six Of the ships
had passed through unnoticed, when q
rafting fire from the shore batteries
told that the fleet had been sighted.
The shots dropped near the Boston and
McCulloch. The McCullooh answered
with three shots, and the Boston also
fred several shots. None Of the projec-
tiles damaged any Of the vessels, and
after the shots from the Boston and Nc
Culloch no further attention was paid
to the fire from the forts. The feet
slowly advanced up the bay to Manila
and arrived opposite the city about $50
a. NJ, when day was breaking.
We soon made out the Spanish feet
in the harbor Of Cavite. Including four
small gunboats, there were about IA
vessels altogether drawn. up in line.
