10 the Editor OF tho Dispatch:
There is place on James river called
"Dutchmans Rack" Every boy who
goes a-bathing up the canal can tell YOU
where it Is. The place is above the Old
pump house, just this side Of an old mill
site. where the railroad has trestle
over the old foundation. I was told
forty-dye or fifty years ago that an old
Dutchman built his house on boat bot
tom and chained 1t to the rocks, 50 that
when the floods came the boat would
float" II I remember correctly had the
impression that this house was a
Noah's Ark. and had been LETT there after
the worlds Hood In this house the
Dutchman hung up. This is why 1t
was called a rack" The mill above was
burned, possibly, twice. once 1t set tre
TO the ark and destroyed it. The old hull
stood for a long while. There may be
some traces of it yet. SWIMMER.

is at a point on the river about one
quarter OF a mile above the Old pump
house II takes it's name from the fact
that an old man eupposed to hive been
a Dutchman) and his family once lived
there I'm an ark-shaped house and mill
combined. Some time previous 70 the war
between the States it was destroyed by a
freshet.
After its destruction It was given
the name OF the Dutchman's Wreck.

LESSONS FROM SANTIAGO.
Campaign Shows That Coast Defense.
Are More Effective Than
Warships.

The military and naval experts say
that several important lessons in ord
nance and Notifications are furnished
by the campaign against Santiago. Ii
is pointed out that the long conten-
tons between the relative merits OF
land Notifications and naval ships as
a means Of coast defense have received
much light by recent operations. Whe7
Admiral Sampson was chief of the ord
nance bureau Of the navy department
he held that most effective means OF
defending coasts was by means of war.
ships rather than coast defenses. 1t
is said, however, that the Spanish de.
Tense of Santiago harbor has demon
strated that coast defenses are even
more effective than warships. The
batteries of MORO castle, Sacopa and
the others, aided by the mining and
torpedoing Of the harbor, was effective
in preventing the American feet from,
entering the harbor, and this, despite
the fact that the Spanish guns were in
no sense fertilization armament. It is
said by some of the experts that if
Moro had possessed the large modern
fortifcation guns, such as those pro
tecting New York or Boston, it would
have been able not only to have defend
ed Santiago but to have done serious
damage to the attacking fleet.

A striking article on the agricultural
condition in Hungary has just been
published in the Neues Wiener Journal,
under the title of ''The Dance of the
Starving" From this it appears that
the peasants of the Alfoeld plain have
recently organized number of popular
balls, which have been attended by
thousands. This does not imply that
the people are particularly happy or
prosperous. On the contrary, owing
to the strike of last summer and the
bad harvest, their condition is one of
great need. The dances are the result
of the bill passed in the Hungarian
reichstag for regulating the relations
between land owners and their labor
ers. That bill is regarded as excep-
tionally hostile to the latter. For the
laborers, however, liberty of speech and
Of public meeting is so restricted as to
render Ill gatherings for political pur-
poses practically impossible. Hence
this stratagem Of popular balls. It is
pointed out that the accounts of these
peasant dancing parties are accom-
panied by the news of acts of pillage
and a strike against taxes, which have
rendered necessary the Intervention of
the military. The present movement is
direct consequence of the harvest
strike of last summer, and of the meas
ures adopted by the government to pre-
vent its recurrence. The obnoxious
bill, according to the Neues Wiener
Journal, delivers up the laborer to the
arbitrary discretion of his employer,
emitting the latter to put an end to
the agreement he has entered into, and
to withhold the wages he has agreed to
pay it the laborer should, in his opin-
ion, be socialist agitator. If the Ia
borer, however, should fail to appear
at the time and place appointed, the
employer is empowered to call upon
the authorities to force him to carry
out his contract. The laborer has no
legal remedy against this proceeding,
while the employer is assured of the
cooperation of the authorities in the
event of strike. Such Injustice as
this, as the writer remarks, might con.
vert a strike very easily into rebel
lion,

almost stunned. A soldier came along
and pulled me ont. Just then there
were reenforcements of some CON-
pany coming along and joined then,
in charge. This charge was on what
is called the second blockhouse, and
we had to push our way through the
thickets. Before we got to it halt
was called and we were ordered to lie
down. We fred two rounds at the
Spaniards concealed in the entrench-
ments around the blockhouse. Then
the order came to charge again.
when I got up my left leg gave way
There was no feeling in it. was told

I stopped to rest behind a couple OF

gun drop out of the tree. Then gave
him another shot and he fell to the
