CALL CRITIC,

To the Editor Of The Call: read with
much interest the very able letter in your
issue of the 9Th inst. about the Call and
Expansion" and your reply thereto. You
say that "all of the Philippines, except a
few localities on Manila Bay, were occu-
pied by the natives, who had wrested
them from Spain before our flag went
there" etc. Under date of May 9, 1898.
you say under the heading of "There Is
More Work for Dewey the following:
Acting Admiral Dewey, the conqueror OF
Manila, still has considerable work to per-
form before the destruction of Spanish
power in the Far East is complete. noilo,
the capital of the island of Panay, which
is fortified and garrisoned by Spanish
troops, remains to be taken. and there are
one or two points in the Philippines which
the guns of his fleet will be called on to
reduce"
Now, our flag had been there nine days,
and before it went there, say on the 30th
of April, 1898, Iloilo was not in the hands
of the natives, and 1t is not locality of
Manila Bay. Seeing there can be no diff
ferences on facts, will you kindly publish
and explain? Yours respectfully.

While the Twentieth Kansas Regi-
ment was advancing on Malolos, the
main body of men halted, while the
then Colonel Funston and a small de-
tachment went across railroad bridge
on a scouting expedition. Finding no
signs of the insurgents he sent back
word for the regiment to come on.
Just as they started the enemy ap-
peared in great numbers, running from
a neighboring wood with the evident
intention of cutting off the reconnoitr-
ing party and destroying it before the
support could be brought up. The
rebels took a position from which they
could direct hot fire on the bridge,
and as it was high one, over which
the open railroad ties gave only a
rather dangerous cad difficult passage,
the situation was one well calculated
to put Kansas courage and zeal to the
test. OF course there was no hesita-
ton; the bridge was traversed, the
scouts rescued, and tLo Filipinos put
to flight. AS battles go in some wars,
| the affair did not amount to much, but
still those who participated in it could
have been forgiven if, in writing home
to friends, they had dwelt little on
the gravity of the perils encountered.
That, however, would have involved
a claim for special credit, and such
claims are not made by our fighters in
the field. They prefer to turn their
| hardships and exertions into Jokes.
This tendency is well illustrated in
the description by Lieutenant Colonel
f. G. Little, in letter in which the
details of the skirmish are given. Oi
the charge over the bridge he says
"As the Colonel was across and my
battalion at the head of the column,
my bugler, Berry, of F, and L were
the first to reach the bridge, and, Of
course, the first to cross" That so!
course" is delightful in many ways,
AID significant in rs many more. But,
being a man of the century's end
Lieutenant Colonel Little is intro
spective as we'll as energetic, and, the
fighting over, he examined into the
emotions it produced. "I've read, )
he adds, 'of men crossing bridges un
der fire at the head of columns an6
supposed the sensation was peculiar
1t is not. A man simply tries to pad
die along as fast as he can and ge
across. 1 beat Berry over, but WE
haven't decided yet whether it was be
cause I was the braver or the wors
scared" That, too, is delightful, an(
it recalls the Funstonian confession o
hesitation to order charges for fear o
getting "run over" by the oo-obedien
soldiers. 1t must be decidedly excit
ing for the enemy that meets eithe
Funston or Little when those officer
are thoroughly scared.

most of the Spanish sailors crowded
on her upper deck aft had been per-
suaded to jump overheard, and were
thus saved. Three remained, how
ever, holding on to the rail, with their
bodies hanging over the side of the
almost red-hot ship. Trainor was
heard to say, "We must save them
men somehow" and without orders
he jumped overheard, swan to the
side of the Vizcaya, clambered up to
the deck at the imminent risk of his
life, kicked the three men overheard,
took header himself, and succeeded
in rescuing all three Of them. The
water was full of sharks swapping and

wounded. Trainor was afterward
promoted at the request of his captain.

1t should not be forgotten that there
are likely to be two sides to Chinese
exploitation. China is undoubtedly
possessed of vast natural resources,
some of which have been worked for
Sges, but with the careless or wasteful
methods OF semicivilized peoples.
When these vast natural riches are
systematically developed by foreign
capital and engineers the other side
Of China's trade extension may become
Qerceptible. 1t is, for instance, claimed
that the iron and coal deposits of China
are the greatest in TIE known world;
the supply of labor is undoubtedly a
vast one, and it needs but little pro-
phetic acumen to point out that some
day China will figure as a great COM
petitor in many lines OF industries in
the markets of the world, says Brad

Separate Waists in Vogue,

Separate waists almost might be
called that, because, unlike other
phases of fashion, they do not pass
out of date. But that is fanciful
supposition, and the separate waist
continues to be an engaging garment,
which may or may not be worn with a
particular skirt.
"There are no two alike in the bet
ter grade of blouses," said the sales
woman, land no general description
gives any idea of their beauty. But
you might care to mention two in par
ticular which are made in the best
style. One is from taffeta the color of
ripe wheat, made with five over
tapping scallops, edged with white
satin cord. Vandykes of the wheat
colored taffeta are finished with Irish
point lace. And the same desirable
lace, made up with white Liberty
chiffon, is draped in fchu effect at the
corsage.
"Pastel pink taffeta, done with four
clusters of tucks in front, and vest
of the taffeta finely tucked is another
lovely blouse to slip on with pink
skirts or white ones, either, as you
fancy. Nothing is smarter than the
necktie which matches the waist,
whether silk or linen" Beach tulle
hats are favored with separate waists.

There is no perfection of circum-
stantial evidence that might not pos
sibly be over-set by the truth if the
truth could be reached. This must
be so while human Judgment remains

is conceded there will always be brave
men who will say that fellow man

"About the most brilliant achieve.
ment in the rescue line during a storm
at sea-" remarked Lieutenant of the
United States Navy, "was by my old
friend, Ensign L. X. Reynolds, on the
Atlantic, in 1885. I don't remember
the name of the ship he was on, but it
was during fierce gale that they
overlook an Austrian bark, which was
flying signals of distress. AS I said
before, a hurricane was raging and
lashing the sea into mountains.
Although the captain and officers
were exceedingly brave and humane
men, they could see no hope of render
ing aid to the doomed ship under such
conditions. Reynolds, however,
begged the captain to allow him to
make the attempt; and permission
being granted, he called for volun.
teers. Jack, with all the impetuosity
of his nature and his love of danger,
quickly responded to the call. After
great difficulty the life-boat was sue
cessfully launched and succeeded in
reaching the bark. Two trips were
made, in which every living soul was
saved. Before leaving the doomed
vessel the last time, however, Ensign
Reynolds got together pile of COM
bustibles and set fire to the derelict,
after which he jumped into the sea
and was with great difficulty rescued
by the boats crew.
"On hearing of this great act of
daring assistance to his subjects,
the Emperor of Austria decorated
Reynolds, and invited him to become
His Majesty's personal guest for a
week; and," concluded Lieutenant
Eaton, che said he was treated most
royally."

The story every one would wish to
be true is the latest one of an alleged
discovery of the elixir of youth by
Missouri physician. The absurdity of
the claim is, however, the only ele
ment of interest that invites passing
notice. We are not informed how this
wonderful fluid is obtained other than
that by some mysterious, unintelligi-
BILE and roundabout process it is ex-
tracted from the glands of the goat.
In fact, the more we are likely to guess
what it actually is the less we may be
inclined to believe what it can really
do. Nature has an unalterable law of
progressive growth and consequent
decay. The various resulting evolu-
tionary changes in our flesh and bones
must go on as surely and relentlessly
rs time itself. There is, alas! no al
chemy that can convert ashes into
fuel, no trick that can turn back the
clock to recall the lost day.

An Unnan,ad Hero.

Among the melancholy applications
for ''leave to presume death" in the
Stella disaster, of the coast of Eng
land, was one touching in its revela-
ton of deed of heroism. The ap-
plicant was a Miss Baker, whose
father, a major, had gone down with
the vessel. Both were about to perish
when the father made piteous ap-
peal to boatload of passengers, who
were leaving the side, to find room
for his daughter. One man, of whose
identity there is absolutely no trace.
instantly stepped back to the ship,
and allowed the lady to take his place.
AS the boat cleared the side, the yes.
sci went down, carrying with it the
girls father and her unknown rescuer.
How beautiful how unutterably sad!
Els anonymity seems somehow to en-
hance the heroic grandeur of his death.
Nothing would have been gained by
knowing his name. A man capable
of such q deed wants no mortuary
honors, nor the local habitation of a
monument. He belongs to the in.
finite of greatness, and his fitting
grave is the sea.-London Daily News.
