AS the contest progressed the people
all over the country became deeply in
terested. examined into the matter and
began to ask questions. One of them
was: How happened it that on April
%, 1898. Capt. w. T. Sampson had been
ordered by the navy department to
hoist the flag of rear admiral, thus
superseding Commodore Schley, who
had been In command of the flying
squadron as early as March 49, the
same year," The people would be
pleased to learn in fact. why the junior
should have been appointed over the
head of the senior officer to succeed
Rear Admiral Sicard. But this will,
probably. never come to the surface.

THE BELLE OF PUNKO PUNE<O.

To The St. Paul Globe:
Sitting, sad and lonely, with his head betyeen
his hands.
The volunteer is thinking of valley where
there stands
A little bamboo village, Now his memory
brighter grows
AS his fancy breathes the purfume of a
dusky tropic rose.
An airy figure greets him-gone are the blue
clad lines, = 5v-
He is back in Punko Punko.. in the far-or
Philippines.
Though heavy rife bore he In the sunshine
and the shade.
Though he softly cussed the officers when
sweating parade.
Though he longed for home and kindred
every time a letter came
Though he found the thorn of hardship on
the wilted rose of fame.
His trials are all forgotten and his loving
fancy twines
Round the belle of Punko Punko, in the far
off Philippines.
They stroll again, together, through the in
cense-laden gloom.
Both chewing plug tobacco while their
hearts hope flowers bloom.
The lovelight fingers shyly in her large and
lovely eyes
When the volunteer proposes, as the twilight
dims and dies.
She is his. He stoops to kiss her-hark, The
evening bugle whines-
He returns from Punko Punko, In the far
off Philippines.
