STARTLING DISCLOSURES.

Admirals and captains are brave
enough, and keen tacticians, no doubt,
but the best part of the Spanish fleet
would have slipped through some
body's fingers that Sunday morning
at Santiago if Americas fighting en-
gineers had not, by the hardest of
work, overcome the obstacles imposed
upon them by orders from the bridge.
If the fighting had been against men
more nearly kin-say English or Ger
man-under conditions identical with
those off Santiago on the morning of
July 8, some American hulks might
now be rusting at the bottom of tropic
seas. For engines were uncoupled,
and many fires out, and steam so low
that all the energy of the stokers was
required to get up again. The Ameri-
can ships had been off the coast for
weeks, waiting for the enemy to come
out. When the enemy came out, the
American ships were ready to shoot,
but not to give chase. This was no
fault of the engineers. 1t was the re-
suit of condition peculiar to naval

Twelve monstrous plumes! Just think
of that!
And some were black and some were
white
And all we're in mot out of sight"
come rose majestic DER her crown,
Some DER her cheek did tumble down,
Until her features none could trace,
To know If dark or fair her face.
And as along the street she sped
She by broad blue ribbon led
A little dog, around whose neck
This ribbon, without spot or speck,
Was tied in tremendous bow,
To match the feathers-twelve, you
know.
So we'll went dog with hat grotesque,
One might have thought both a bur
lesque
Had not the woman's gait and air
Been so correct and debonair.
