SPAIN IN HISTORY,
By Professor James 4. Harrison

Of all the so-calIed civilized countries the history of Spain is the least known to the general reader The principal reason for this is the lack of good histories by the people themselves.
 The present war has naturally whetted the public appetite for historical narra- tives of Spain and the Spanish people. If we except the periods of Spanish history dealt with by Prescott, Washington IT. wing and Motley, little Is known of the annals of the nation or of the, pie sources of the Iberian Peninsula. One of the most interesting of works. covering the whole field of Spanish history, Is that entitled, Spain in History" Of Spain's future no writer, of course, can do more than hazard an opinion, which subsequent events may or may not justify, The inn mediate prospect Is ominous, with finan- cially crippled eXchequer and nation of mutinous and distrustful people, without a great leader. The gravity of the case (to quote from the book obviously coun- sels discretion, but discretion Is not Spanish virtue, and it i'll consorts with Spanish pride: Did she but heed the voice of her best friends Spain would make haste, while there is time, to mend

~ BEING the Oregon boys starting
 to war takes me back to the
 time, more than forty years ' ago, when the fathers of some of these men were also called
 to shoulder a gun, but their fighting was done on our own shores and against an enemy that didn't observe military tactics" re- marked an old pioneer and former resi- dent of the "webfoot" State.
 T know what such fighting means myself, for l settled in that country, when from Washington Territory down to Port Orford was one vast stretch of wilderness. In fact l was one of the party who selected the site for Port Orford in 1851.
 We adventures were lured there by the discovery of the long stretch of auriferous sands at Gold Bluff Our party numbered eighteen men. but af- ter remaining some months, provisions ran short and half of the men returned to Portland for supplies.
 After their departure the Indians began to show signs of hostility, so we made up our minds to move our camp upon what is known as Battle Rock, a fort that was planned when God farmed the country. The place show ed three precipitous sides of solid gran ite, fifty feet high toward the ocean, and could only be reached by a natu- ral causeway from land.
 We barricaded the accessible point as best We could, leaving a porthole for our brass field piece-a six pounder Necessity compelled us to load it with stones, slugs and scraps of iron and we filled her to the muzzle. A good charge was then put into every rifle in camp, an7 we prepared for the worst
 "The very next day body of fully lO0O warriors swept down upon us. They were the Rogue River, Coquille and Umpqua tribes who had combined to drive us from the country.
 They were fully armed with bows and arrows, and made themselves more formidable by giving vent to their na1r-rals1ng war whoops.
 Afraid? Well, remember there were only nine of us against a thousand braves, and in loading our gun we had exhausted our supply of ammunition to two rounds of rifle and pistol charges
 one or our number was a Tennes- seean who had seen something of fight ing. We made him our commander. He was aple 10 persuade the excited men 10 reserve their fire until the painted, whooping fiends were within a few yards or us, coming on pellmell without apparent order or discipline
 When We could see their snaky eyes gleam through the barricade of brush Wood and small tree trunks the gun was touched off and the deadly hail or ron and stones sent among them. We followed this up by giving them the contents of pistols and rifles. The unexpected din of firearms as we'll as the destructive rain of missiles com pletely swept away the Indians.
 Many of them in the scramble to get away fell upon the rocks below and were dashed to pieces; others plunged head foremost into the ocean and were drowned
 We never stopped to count the dead. being intent only on getting away. We made up our minds that there was lit tie show for nine provisionless. ammu- | nftionless men in a country swarming with hostile Indians.
