Young Men Don't Do IT All.

Enrico Dandolo was not elected doge OF
Venice until he was 50 years old, and he
still retained the fire and vigor of his
youth. He assaulted and took the city of
Constantinople when he was 92 years
old, himself displaying the gonfalon of
st. Marx and animating his followers to
the charge. Villars, the French general
in his eighty-fourth year, when crippled
with wounds and disease, led cavalry
charge with the same light hearted con-
tempt for danger displayed by him in his
youth.
The men who won distinction in high
command during the mutiny against the
English in India, in 1878; were all of
them well advanced in years. Sir Colin
Campbell, the commander in chief was
65, Havelock was 60, Sir Hugh Rose 81
and Sir James Outram "a. They stood

Another member of the Rifles, Pri-
Mauser hole through the shoulder,
writes under date of April about the
week of battles which began on March
%. The western idea of a good
Indian" has been applied to the ma
tiyes, and KOopman tells how the
American volunteers made some .'2, 900
good niggers" in their march of 80
miles from Manila to Malabon and
Malolos. He says his regiment was on
the firing line from start to finish
and lost 120 killed and wounded. This
was the heaviest loss of any regiment
in the Philippines. The Thurstons had
the right of the regiment. 1t started
with 60 men and officers and finish
ed with 81 men and no officers. Koop-
man tells how Captain Taylor, himself
and six others were wounded in at
lacking hill crowned with a stone
trench. The company charged across
an open ricefield, facing volleys of
bullets all the way. Captain Taylor
and men were hit. but there were 16
good niggers" in the trench on the
crest to square the blood account.
Koopman declares that there are no
war clubs and bows and arrows in the
Filipino war. The whole country is
covered with breastworks and trenches
well laid with open fields in front.
Furthermore, Koopman says, the in
surgents "are fighting with better guns
than we have and they shoot lead and
steel" 1t seems that the Americans do
the clubbing when the natives allow
them to get near enough. Captain Tay-
lor was shot while in the act of club
bing a Filipino. and his brother, Ser
geant Taylor. was beside him imitat-
ing his example.
Up to June / the tally list shows 225
killed and wounded in the First Ne
braska. The original roster was 1,200.
In the latter actions there have been
less than 400 on the firing line. The
battles of the regiment include the
stand against the attack on Manila,
the triumphant march through the
Filipino camps and villages, in Febru-
airy; the battles before Malolos and
San Fernando and the bloody attack

there was not anything which carried
the Spanish flag that day that dared
come within battery range of the
Brooklyn"
The scars ON the Spaniards showed
that this was not a vain boast. One
half of the principal shots which de-
stroyed the enemy came from the
Brooklyn's five inch guns. With these
she hit the Teresa times, the Oquen-
do ., the ViZcaya 6 and the Colon 4.
According to the report of the experts
the only hits on the Colon wreck were
from the Brooklyn. In that case, she
alone destroyed the one vessel which
had show of escape. She also finish

OQuenuO met tle 1ate OF the Teresa
and the crew of the Brooklyn redou-
bled their efforts to szish the business.
Although the Oregon and Texas were
up and pounding the Spaniards. the
fight between the Vizcaya and Brook
lyn was a square naval set TO. Still
the ships We're not matched. The Viz
caya's armorpiate was double the
thickness of the Brooklyn and her
guns heavier. Officers and crew on the
Brooklyn seemed delighted although
anxious when the fight lay between
them. Schley said to Captain Cook,
Get in close. Cook, and We'll fix her,"
A turn of the helm brought the Brook
lyn within $50 yards, and the and 3
inch guns threw out clouds of smoke
so dense that the ships could barely
see each other.
When the smoke cleared the ViZcaya
was turning inshore and all the gun
nerS had been driven from the exposed
chambers by the Brooklyn's terrible
fire. With one spasm of motion which
seemed an effort to ram the Brooklyn.
the doomed Vizcaya turned to the enc
my, but soon put about and ran ashore.
Meanwhile the Colon, passing inside
the vessels which took all the punish
ment from the American guns, had
sped on out of range. Schley signaled
the Texas to look out for the sinking
ship and ordered all speed on the
Brooklyn in chase of the Colon. He
said that he felt as Nelson did at
Trafalgar that victory would be in
complete if one vessel got away. AS
it was to be long run, he told Cook
to let the men go to dinner. AS the
Brooklyn drew near the Colon fired
her after guns at her, but the men
paid no attention and finished their
meal under fire. Schley watched the
game of chase like hound in leash.
AS the Brooklyn began to gain so that
it was evident she would catch up with
the fleeing Colon he said, I'VE may be
able to wing that fellow and then
Clark (Oregom and Phillip (TeXas) will
get show at him. even if he sinks
us"
The Colon had a speed of 1872 knots,
and the Brooklyn could make but II.
However, Schley saw that the Span
lard was so close inShore that in or
der to clear a cape ahead she would
have to run miles to seaward, thereby
losing headway. The Brooklyn held
her course two miles offSbore ready
to intercept should the Spaniard at
tempt to come out.
Schley signaled to the Oregon to try
one of those heavy shells known as
railroad trains" 1t was a Is inch
projectile fired at $500 yards and, in
passing the Brooklyn, sounded like a
railway train rushing through space.
1t landed astern the Colon, and the
Brooklyn sent an s inch the same dis
tance ahead of her. Schley signaled
to Clark of the Oregon where the shell
of the latter had struck, and Clark did
the same for the Brooklyn. The shots
We're repeated, that of the Oregon
passing through the Colon fore and
aft and the Brooklyn's exploding in
her cabin, making a fearful wreck.

the leeward, struck her colors and
headed for the beach, third and last
victim of the Brooklyn's guns, which |
fired that day 1913 shots.

pressing afternoon. Most of the
customers We're hurried and irri-
