HAVANA THREE TIMES Be
SIEGED.

In view Of the fact that Hava>
ma is likely soon to become the
local center OF hostilities in the
war with Spain, it is interesting
10 inquire into the past expert
ences Of this kind which Havana
las passed through. In this con-
nectcn we make use of some
interesting data which The
Chicago Record has recently
prepared upon the subject. Says
this welI-informed newspaper:
CAS- early as 1888 the town
underwent its first siege and was
reduced to ashes by a French
privateer. Eighteen years later
the French again attacked the
town and almost destroyed it.
So long ago as 1000 the Spanish
government thought it necess-
airy to erect the MORO Castle and
Punta fortresses, which are still
III existence. French, English
and Dutch alike menaced the
city, and there was no little dan
ger from pirates. About the
middle Of the seventeenth Gems
fury it was determined to build
the walls which still answer for
the Notifications OF the island.
But the first actual investment
and capture Of Haeana by the
landing of troops occurred in
1902, when the British feet un>
del Lord A1bemarle took possess
sion Of the city. There were
fully 200 vessels in the attack
ing fleet, and these carried an
army Of $4,000 men, as against
the Spanish army of27,ooo After
the payment OF large sum, the
island was restored to the Span
iards in the following year.

his son was compelled to take

That settled it. The leaders
Of the church communicated

rang with the argument.
Then it was that the Secreta>

BROKE THE RULES.
And That Was How He Cot
His Name.
Fighting Bob Evans Known
All Over The World.
When He Went to A1apolis
He drove a Nail III the Wall
and Was Ordered to Take it
Down But Would Not Do
So.

Many reasons have been given
for the"Fighting Bob" sobriquct
Of Robley d Evans, commando
Of the battleship Iowa. 1t Is
generally supposed that this title
dates back to the days of the civil
war. Persons, however. who
knew "Fighting Bob" in his
boyhood days, say he gained the
title when, as 4 cadet at Anapo>
lis, he dehed the enti1e staff Of
Academy officials, as we'll as the
war department on the subject
Of a Bible text.
In the old days at Hnapo is a
rule was promulgated that no
cadet should hang pictures or
ornaments on the walls Of his
room. The cadets were forbid
den even to stick pins in the
wall. 1t was q good rule as far
as it went, and was devised
chiefly to prevent cadets who
we're the sons Of wealthy par
cuts from attempting to show
off before their comrades III the
Academy. The Trainer of the
regulation argued that, unless
such d rule was enforced, those
cadets who we1e rich enough
would decorate their rooms with
handsome curtains, pictures,
and the like, thereby causing
poorer cadets to envy them and
perhaps lead to expensive at
tempts at emulation.
The rule worked beautifully
until one day there arrived at
the Academy youtis from Viz
ginia with a square jaw aud the
name of Robley D. Evans. At
ter passing through the usual
formalities a room was assigned
t. him, and one Of the porters
carried his trunk upstairs. About
the first two things which Rob-
ley d, Evans extracted from
that trunk was a brass headed
nail and large, neatly framed
6ible text. Taking the nail and
d convenient shoe, Cadet Evans
stood Oh his bed and proceeded
carefully to drive the brass heads
ed nail into the sacred walls Of
the Annapolis Naval Academy.
He then hung the framed text
Oh the nail and stood back, with
his head on one side, to see if
the text was hung up straight.
At this moment one of the Of.
dcer5, who had heard the pound
ing on the wall, entered the
room, and on seeing the text
suffered 4 shock that almost
rendered him speeches., Fl
nalIy lie managed to gasp al in
dignant order to the new cadet to
take that thing down"
"What thing?' demanded Ev-
ans, with his hands III his pock-
ct and his chin advanced.
THAT that picture thing"
spluttered the officer.
"Tisn't a picture, -. said Ev>
ans; convincingly.
"Take it down roared the Of
6cer.
GO to blazes." retorted Ev~
aus.
The young officer looked at
the stockiIy built figure Of the
champion of the text and deci~
ded that dignity might be COM
promised if he tried to person.
ally enforce his command. So
he. reported the matter to the Of
iCer Of the day. The officer of
fcer Of the day called Evans be-
