occurred today. We were defeated. but
no wonder when one considers the
heavy armament of the Yankee ships
The Spanish navy was ignorant of the
power of the feet against which it was
pltted. Our boats, many as they were
were no match for the enemy, but the
honor of Spain is intact"
When Commodore Dewey found he
had his adversary at such a disad-
vantage he detached the Baltimore
Concord and Boston to point nearly
opposite Cavite point with orders stc
she'll the batteries there. knowing
the danger of risking his boats even
at this advanced stage of victory toe
near the stationary guns of the land
battery, he instructed them to use the
greatest caution in the undertaking
for they had not only to face the Cavite
guns, but those of Mount Manila, Par
anque and Las Pinas, on the inland
shore of Bakor bay, which overlooked
that body of water as we'll as the Ca
viter peninsula, and commanded a wide
sweep OF Manila bay itself. He did
not know the strength of those batter
les, but he had the seaman's caution OF
risking fight with a land fortification.
He had at the same time to beware OF
the still stronger Notifications farther
up the shore, the particular defenses of
Manila. The Baltimore and Concord
stood down the bay for a mile or two
and began a heavy cannonading upon
the Cavite batteries, lasting twenty
seven minutes. ~-. .>
Z Their work was effective from the
start and the Spanish reply YVES short
and ineffective. The cruisers ran in
quite close to the shore and the work
OF their gunners dismounted several
Spanish cannon and killed large num-
Der Of men. The position of the Amer
ican ships prevented the forts on the
! hills behind Bakor bay from keeping
up anything but a desultory fire. and
even some Of this was so badly man
aged that it dropped into the Cavite
battery. From the very first shot Of
the battle Manila was in q panic.
The stream of people who began to
leave last week turned into river and
that river into a food, and when the
foreign office here last heard all was
confusion in the city and its suburbs
Also there was word that the insur-
gents had moved up to within fifteen
miles Of the western gates.

What FltZ Said.

Daily Picayune.
An heroic character made ia
nous, if not actually created, by the
genius OF Sir Walter Scott, on an
occasion in one of tie scenes in
which he figured, said:
s'Twice have sought Clan Alpine's glen,
In peace; but When ! come again,
come with banner. brand and bow,
AS leader seeks his mortal foe"
The lines quoted above were at
tributed to Fitz James, who was
James V, of Scotland, in an inter-
view with Rhoderick Dhu. They,
or words expressing sentiments akin
to them, were doubtless present in
the mind of another Fitz, Fitz Lee,
when he was SO churlisbly and un-
graciously refused on Saturday, at
Havana, an interview with Captain
General Blanco, upon whom he
called to bid courteous farewell.
Should it turn out that Fitz Lee will
return to Havana with gun and
brand, or sword, for that is the
meaning of brand in the text quo
ted, he would he virtually fulfilling
Eitz James poetic boast. Both the
Fitzes were fighters, most gallant
chivalrous in their several ways,
and the living Fitz may not yet
have come to the end of his mill
tary career.

Colson and Berry
of Kentucky, the latter Confed-
crate Colonel, had expressed their
determination to go to the front in
case of hostilities.
We have millions to spend for the
relief Of the subjects of Spain in
Cuba, but not a dollar for the pay
,nent of just claim of the heirs of
the widow of Gen. Lee of Virginia.
Patriotism at home and philanthropy
abroad touch both our hearts and
pockets, but we shut the door in the
face of mere, common justice, if
Justice appears in the name borne
by the man who is dignifying and
clarifying the country by his splen-
did exhibition of manhood at Ha-
vana. To refuse the payment of
such a claim at such time as this
because it did not come under the
letter of the Bowman act was taking
refuge under a small, contemP-
tible technicality. If Congress de-
sires to do just, as we'll as grace
full act, and one which would be es-
pecially appreciated in the South
just at this time, it will repair the
gross and unjustifable error of
Tuesday by passing a special bill
recognizing and providing for the
payment of this claim. Its failure
to do so will be blot on national
Justice and honor.

It is the time Of great storms now In
the Philippines. Huge seas come tum-
bling ashore on the beach and the
vessels in the great exposed bay have
all they can do to hang to their an
chors, as the surf sometimes dashes
as high as their lower foreyards, -
writes the author of Yesterdays in the
Philippines" One bit of description
may well apply to the weather now ex-
perienced by our soldiers under Gen.
Merritt: THE other morning began the
first real storm of the rainy season.
and we came very near having a bad
typhoon, but some one turned the
switch and II swirled up the back
coast on the Pacific side and crossed
through notch In the mountains some
distance north of Manila, giving the
city only four days Of monstrous winds
and floods Of rain. The streets were
two feet deep with water in the busl-
ness sections, and down at our house
by the seas the wind blew so hard that

to visit the next suburb. Then II was

The following method Of cleaning
varnish and other furniture is given
by The Scientific American:
Take equal parts of strong alco-
hol and good oil Of turpeniine, and
heat this mixture in bottle by
placing it in hot water. With this
warm liquid paint the article, wle,e-
upon the old varnish will dissolve at
once. The varnish is removed by
scraping and wiping, and the spread
ing, scraping and cleaning are repeat
ed as often as necessary until the sur
face has become entirely clean again,
so that the object may be rendered
glossy or dull as desired. This pro-
cess is especially recommended, since
it does not change or attack the color
of the wood, as is often the case if I've

THE PIPE FACE.



Smokers.
The constant habit of smoking pipes
has a perceptible effect upon the face.
The pressure Of the lips to hold the
pipe in position increases their curva-
ture around the stem and the muscles
become more rigid here than in other
parts. thus, says Tit-Bits, the lips al
certain point become stronger, and
the pipe is unconsciously held in the
same habltual position. After long
continuation of the habit small cir
cular wrinkles form parallel with the
curvature Of the lips around the stem.
These are crossed by finer lines, cau9-
ed by the pressure Of the lips to retain
the stem in position. In the case Of old
men who have smoked pipe for years.
the effect upon the lips is very marked,
not only altering the form OF the lips
but of one entire side of the face. caus-
ing the wrinkles that are the effect
of age to deepen, and instead of fol-
lowing the natural course OF facia
wrinkles, to change their course SO as
to radiate from the part of the mouth
where the pipe is habitually carried.
Furthermore, one or both lips oftea
protrude, just like the lips of people
who have sucked their thumbs when
children. The effects of pipe smoking
upon the teeth are considerable At
the point where the smoker usually
holds the stem between his teeth the
latter becomes much worn.
