WAR GOSSIP.

/ Admiral Dewey had prepared a little
surprise party for Admiral Camara if the
latter came on to the Philippines. Dewey
had with him at the time big, swift
| liner named the China. She could run
twice as fast as anything Camara had
and has sharp steel Prov Dewey went
over to her Captain and told him that he
proposed to put some rapid fire guns on
the China and send her in to ram
Camara's fleet expcctiag that she would
clean out the bigger part of them in short
meter. The Captain jumped at the
chance, but, much to his and pewey's dis
gust, the Spanish Admiral turned back,
and would not give them chance.
