A Chimney Adorned.

A steel cap or extension was success
fully placed, yesterday afternoon. on
the chimney at the Hotel Castaneda.
The job was delicate one, requiring a
clear head, mechanical skill and perse.
verance. The extension adorns the
chimney today, however, and will
remedy the defective draught Of the
furnaces.
The chimney, as originally built, pro
jected only few feet above the roof of
the hotel. When the breeze came from
the south or west, the roof smoLhered
the draft and caused inconvenience
through the hotel and profanity on the
part of the fireman. The extension
will remedy this defect.
The top Of the chimney is probably
6fty feet or more above the ground.
The steel extension was raised to the
roof of the porch surrounding the Cas-
taneda as starter, then to the roof of
the hotel and finally OIL top of the
chimney. Three lifts were therefore
necessary and were successfully accom-
plished.

Schley's Story.

The outcome of these 1O4 days of
war was due to the preparation which
enabled it to be accomplished. through
the efforts of the President and the
Department of the Navy. 1t has been
said that men who never make mistakes
never make war, and ! guess that is
about true. Often in the conversation
between officers in the West Indian
waters they would express the opinion
that those on the outside were losing,
while those in the inside circles were
gaining. / dissented | thought those
who were inside must be losing. After
une army had landed the crucial period
was reached about June 30. On July 2
a strange coincidence occurred There
we're six bIOckhouses TO the west of
Santiago on the mountain heights. As
they had been abandoned by the. Span
ish soldiers, they were taken by the
Cuban insurgents, who vented their
feelings by burning them. Now, there
were just six Spanish ships in the har-
Dor, and the burning of these block
houses induced them to leave the har-
Dor on that particular Sunday morn

A Summing Up Of the Philip.
pine Campaign to Date.

We are in the Philippines as a re-
suit of meeting imperious and un-
avoldable moral responsibilities to
ourselves, to the natives, and to the
world, resulting with the war with
Spain, and We cannot retreat from
/. EN- without shame, dishonor, and
disgrace to us as a great nation and as
a Christian, civilized people-without
reference to material opportunities in
the Pacific and the impending possib-
lity that if we shirk our responsible
ties we will forsake our position as a
permanent first-class power in the
Pacific and come trailing along behind
Great Britain, Russia, Japan, and
Germany. There never was a time
since May /, 1898, when our naval or
military forces could have abandoned
Manila, and Admiral Dewey will con-
hrm this when he returns.
The immediate occasion of the pres
ent conflict can be logically attributed
to the Fllipinos and not to ourselves.
The fighting was begun and has been
carried on under tAe most adverse
conditions of season and climate
which characterize tropical countries
The outbreak came at the end of the
cool season and at the beginning of
the excessively hot period When
this hot season was over 1t was imme-
diately followed by the rainy months,
which are still running on and will
not end until November.
Despite these conditions the Amerl-
can forces have not met with a single
decisive reverse from the beginning of
the campaign up to the present writ
ing, and have everywhere and in all
expeditions driven the natives before
them at will. The Filipino army,
pushed from pillar to post, has suf-
fered enormous losses, is deprived of
sources of fresh ammunition and sup
plies from the outside world, is demor-
allied from an organized army into
rotreating isolated bands, is forced to
brutal tactics to keep the people in line
and the leaders from deserting to the
Americans, depending on the Hong
junta to manufacture alleged reports
from Aguinalo favorable to the Fill
pinos-which are too often and too
much believed in America--and can
not possibly hold out as an integral
force after the rains are over.
Our forces now hold all the most i'm
portant points in the Philippines. Area
does not decide the question of present
strength and influence. The best and
most important section of Luzon is
rapidly coming under our control.
Already our sway, extended under ad-
verse conditions, reaches from linus in
the south to Angeles in the north, a
distance of nearly seventy-fve miles,
and from Manila southeast TO Calamba
on Laguna de Bay, about twenty-five
mnes, the very heart of the island. We
not only have Manila, but Iloilo, Cebu,
Bacolod, Zamboanga and Jolo, the
commercial and strategic points Of the
islands.-American Monthly Review
of keviews for September.

ing. ne movement of those ships was
discovered simultaneously by every
ship in the blockading feet BY 9:45
the Spanish vessels were clear of the
har-or. There was an immediat in
ward movement of our feet to the
mou,A of the harbor. Firing was be-
gun at once. 1t was difficult at first to
determine whether the enemy intend
ed to fight or escape. This uncertain
ty lasted about 10 minutes. About this
time the Brooklyn got into such a po-
sltion that we had to turn her II we
had turned her in we would have
blanketed the enemy's ships. Turn
ing outward, however, we uncovered
these, and the result was that in 20
minutes four of the vessels of the
Spanish feet were destroyed, The
Vlscaya and the Colon alone remained
and for 54 minutes there was a run
ming night. AT first they appeared to be
gaining little, but after "A minutes
t..e Viscaya surrendered Her men
jumped overheard That left only the
Colon, and she was, perhaps, the most
formidable of lie fleet. AT that time
we did not know that she did not have
her two twelve-inch guns. Until 11:15
there was race which called the $2,
500 900 race. The Brooklyn and the
Oregon kept close on her track. We
ceased firing long enough to allow our
men to get dinner. Shortly before l
o'clock we again opened fire,anL at the
sixth shot the Colon was ready to sur
render.

ficers. They said great deal about
their honor We all admitted it.. But
one day | told them l thought there
wer four fundamentally wrong mill
tary traditions in Spain: First, the
Spanish Government thought the
Spanish soldiers could fight without
being fed; second, that they could be
vignant without getting sleep; third,
that they could be loyal when they
were not being paid; and fourth, that
they were given a language so rich
and sonorous and full of synonyms
that they talked too id much and
