HUMoR OF GRIM WAR.

Cen. Hianco Is not the only humorist
IN the present conflict, says the Balti-

But as humorist the captain at

hostiities While he went ashore for
more ammunition. is entitled to the
cake The Petrol, of Deweys fleet,
chased L Sunbuat up the Pasig river.
Seeing he was cornered, the captain
OF the Spanish gunboat went to the
Petrol in a small boat under a flag Of
truce to make terms. The American
captain told him he must surrender or
fight. We are willing to fight" re-
Piled the Spaniard. Please allow US
to send for ammunition, because our

There was decidedly no humor how
ever. in the music Of the flag of truce
by the Spanish Captain Sagasta at the
Cavte arsenal He hoisted flag
and the Americans, believing he had
surrendered, came to take possession
they found the Spaniards still under
arms. The withdrawal of the troops
With their arms pending negotiations
for surrender was an instance of
trcachery and bad faith.
The GOODNESS with which Commodore
Dewey interrupted the battle for break
fast is decidedly humorous. The crew
OF the warships We're shut up below
decks with hot boilers within a tropical

possibly have done more damage than
the Spanish guns. So breakfast time
came most opportunely. But it is not
likely that Il great battle was ever de-
iberately Interrupted before by the
sound of the breakfast bell.
An incident took place at the battle
of Mobile bay when a breakfast was
kept waiting for the close Of hostilites.
Rear Admiral James T.. Jouett of
Montgomery county. Maryland, then a
lieutenant commander. was i'll COM
nand of a vessel. A lieutenant named
Murphy. who had resigned from the
United states navy. had command of
one OF tho small Confederate boats in
the bay. Jouctt and Murphy had been
warm friends before the war at the ma
val academy. So Jouett had Il delight
full breakfast prepared and then set
to work to capture Murphy's boat
This he succeeded in doing after some
delay. and Murphy came aboard with
his arm in 4 sling to surrender his
sword in the most formal manner. In
stead Of taking the sword Jouett re-
proachcd Murphy for keeping break
fast waiting. Upon seeing the feast
Murphy, who was very hungry, said:

about this breakfast I would have sur
