by the guard to the mob.
The men then walked around where
they could get n good look ut the
trembling, pleading, terror stricken
negroes, begging for life and declaring
that they were innocent.
There was moments pause OF
deliberation. The negroes thought it
meant that the assassins hesitated in
their bloody deed, but the men only
hesitated because they wanted deliber-
ate action ana n clear range for their
bullets.
The negroes, helpless, tied together
with ropes, begged for mercy, for they
saw the cold gun barrels, the angry
and determined actions of the men,
and they knew it meant death to
them.
On leaving the horrible scene Of
their work the whitecaps turned to

them in the open. The spanish ships began
firing, but did no harm.
mot a shot came from our ships said
Mrs. Dexter. They steamed on steadily.
As the olympia came under the guns Of the
fort the big guns let loose. Then as each
ship came into close range she followed
the Olympia's example. They were about
a mile from the forts or Cavite and took
about another mile heading towards as, de-
scribing circles. We could see With each
circle where the shells had struck each
ship. The gray paint was knocked en-,
showing bright white spots.
when the Spanish admiral saw that his
guns did no harm he dashed at the Olympus
to ran her. jumped down, covered my
eyes and screamed. That was the only time
we really feared for the American fleet.
Then the Olympia sheered off and poured n
broadside into the admiralis ship. 1t made
holes clear through her. The boilers or
magazines exploded. Then the Spanish ship
blazed up, and after burning an hour sank.
We could see the Spaniards take to the
boats.
when the third circle had been described
the Olympia drew off from Cavite past us.

Manila forts. The forts opened fire and
the shells few directly over our heads, strik-

is saying all that could be said on the sub
ject. Commander Lamberton was President
Cleveland's constant companion on bis
shooaing trips, and the lighthouse tender
under Lamberton's control has more than
once figured in the political Trades of
Cleveland's enemies.
Personally Commander Lamberton is a
genial, companionable fellow, a hale fellow
well met in the best sense. He is a native
of Pennsylvania and a graduate of the
academy in 1865. He has seen a variety of
service, net only a full complement of sea
duty, but has had plenty of experience in
navy yards and the departments. He
served at one time in the bureau of equip
ment, and he recently left service with the
bureau of yards and docks. He has seen
navy yard service at Boston
and Norfolk.
Commander Lamberton now stands at the
head of the commanders list.
The Commander
Commander Dyer of the Baltimore is one
of the few men Of high rank in the navy
VINO are not graduates of ANNAPOLIS.
Mustangs" these men used to be called by
the graduates of the Naval academy. but
the term has almost died out of navy
vernacular.
Commander Dyer got his first sea ex-
perience in the merchant service. He is a
hatlVe OF Massachusetts, and when IA years
old ran away to sea, serving until he was
20. When the war broke out he went into
the army, but early in 1862 he was made an
acting mate in the navy, and for gallant
conduct in capturing and burning the con-
federate schooner Isabel was promoted to
acting ensign. He was again promoted to
acting volunteer lieutenant in 1865, and in
Xxx hnpDmn a 1iontn,auA L., A.. -
navy.
Commander Walker of the Concord is
known throughout the navy particularly as
a student of mathematics. He graduated
from the Naval academy in 1866 and since
then has seen a variety of duty both at sea
and on shore. He is described by his friends
as n typical Yankee and when II Is told that
he Is a native of New Hampshire it will be
easy to see how well the description fits.
Commander Walker, though a student, Is
one of those energetic, thoughtful men who
meet the description of the old admiral who
paid tribute to the silent men of the navy.
Much Of Commander Walkers duties have
been in connection with the Naval academy
and he has not been much in Washington.
Commander Walker has been in charge os
the Concord for about a year.
Commander Wood, chief officer OF the
Petrol, comes from Ohio. He was graduated
In 1867 and has been in mman of the
Petrel for about a year and a half. He has
seen a variety of sea duty and has also
done special work for the government In
Europe. Commander Wood was with tho
Bureau of Navigation when Commodore
Ramsay was in charge of the bureau and
the commodore always gave him high praise.
There Is Lieutenant Commander Sumner
Paine. for instance. who was with Gridley
upon the Olympia. His family lives in
Washington. He married a daughter of tho
late Prof. Coffin and Is particularly we'll
known as a student of mathematics.
There is Lieutenant Calkins, also on the
Olympia, who is a talented man in a literary
way and who has won two or three prize
essays at the Naval institute.
Lieutenant Montgomery Taylor. also on
