a number of the chairs, both scientific

In spite of our huge donations and

what had become of it when a huge

One morning in the month of May,
when two-thirds of the heroic officers
and sailors of the Spanish feet at Ma
Mia were ashore to witness a game
OF football, person named Senior
Dewey, who is believed to have been
an American, came sailing into the
harbor with an armada, and without
even saying good morning to our brave
admiral, he ordered his ships to open
fire.
"Caramba, but that is Yankee
trick" shouted the admiral to those
around him, and he at once ordered
his guns to reply.
The battle lasted for hours. The
waters of the bay were red with blood.
Victory was with the noble Spaniards,
and Senior Dewey had already ordered
his few remaining ships to surrender,

ripe, and then one Sunday morning he
turned to the gentlemen about him
and smilingly said:
Il think we will go out and bring in
these Yankee ships before they grow
old and useless. Tell my heroic engi-
neers to get up steam, and ask my gal
liant sailors to step to the guns"
Our fleet steamed out. The enemy
at once sought to run away, as mat
ter of course, but our ships dashed
among them. firing right and left.
Some 20 of the pig" vessels had been
sent to the bottom, and the rest of the
fleet were flying in terror from the
awful missiles flung from our guns,
when Providence willed it that every
heroic Spanish officer and man should
suddenly forget the exclamation: Ca
ramba!" Try as they could, not man
could shout it. Some cried Mon
Dieu." and some "B'Gosh!" but no one
cried "Caramba!" In this awful emer-
gency there was nothing left for our
brave admiral but to signal each of his
ships to run ashore and try and pick up
the lost exclamation. They accord
ingly sought the beach. and, being
somewhat weary and discouraged, our
gallant men waded ashore and con-
cluded to stay there. Spanish honor
was saved again, and the queen regent

when 10! it was discovered that our
heroic sailors were out of cigarettes
and cuss-words. The admiral raved and
stormed. but it was no use. Senior
Dewey saw how it was, and he was
encouraged to fight on, and at last,
rather than continue the noise, which
was painful to many sick persons in
the city, our gallant admiral concluded
to surrender. In doing so, however, he
stipulated that none of his heroic band
should be fed on clam chowder or ex-
hibited in dime museum, and thus
Spanish honor was saved to a great
nation. The enemy lost three ships and
ten men to our one. and there was no h
ing for him to exult over. Had Senior
Dewey been gentleman he would have
sent word that he was coming, but who
ever heard of gentleman among she
Yankee pigs? 1t is needless to remark
that our magnanimous government
promoted every sailor of the feet. and
ordered a medal weighing three pounds
to be struck off for every officer.
During the war there was blockade
of the port of Havana. The brave Gen.
Blanco could have gone out with half a
dozen tug boats and driven off the Yam
kee cruisers at any hour, but he had
another plan in view. He knew that it
was only question of time when the
salt water would so corrode the bottom
of the enemy's ships that they would
drop out and leave the pigs" to drown,
and thus they would perish without the
loss of Spanish life. Fifty-six of their
vessels and 5000 of their men were thus
destroyed, and the queen regent wept
because she had no further honors to
bstow upon the gallant general. AS to
the blockade, our brave people only
smiled at the idea. Thousands of ships
ran in and out at will and mutton and
champagne were never so plentiful and
cheap. Had the war lasted three
months longer whole roast turkey
could have been bought for three cents,
and the tons and tons of oysters in the
warehouses would have spoiled on our
hands. At the time our government
surrendered Cuba to get rid of buying
