 CAMPAIGNING ON LUZON.

The Perilous Exploits of Our Soldiers.
 Below we give an extract from let
 ter written by Lyle l.. Knox, a Coffey- vile boy with the Twelfth Kansas, and | from it may be gathered some knowl-
 edge of the hair-raising exploits in
 which our soldier boys are constantly engaged
 After we had gotten up to the river | at Calumpit the second lieutenant of my company took five of us boys on
 an expedition up the river to find some
 way of getting party across the stream in order to flank the negroes out of
 their position at the bridge. We found a bamboo bridge but it had been swung
 along the river bank on the negroes
 side, so the lieutenant told me to swim
 across with him to cut the bridge loose
 and swing it across the stream
 Well he and swan over and on
 looking the bridge over we found that
 it needed some fixing before 1t could be
 used, so we went up among some of
 the nipa huts to find poles to work with,
 but we ran into bunch of bolomen'- that is, negroes who pretend to be neu-
 tral or friendly, as may suit the occa- y ACA the fun of seeing your blood run. They surrounded us, but were scared to tackle us, although we were unarmed. Finally I caught chance to take one of them off his guard, so l jumped on him, knocking him off his feet This gave us an opening and we made run for it. They gave us pretty hot race for it. but the white man is best, even in foot race, and when man is run- ming to keep a gang of negroes from splitting his skull he doesn't need much urging. We beat them to the river, and in we went heels over head. The boys on the other side opened fire on the ne- groes as soon as they could see us GO they could tell where to shoot. They | knew we were mixed up before they | could see us. but1could not shoot for fear of hitting us The river here is about | 200 yards wide and we had to swim it; | that is the way we came to be caught | unarmed. I didn't like the idea of go- ing unarmed, but it was impossible to | swim and carry gun, SO when the lieu- tenant told me to go with him jumped | into it and beat him across. He got | away unhurt, but 1 got a small cut | across my left arm and shoulders from one of the negroes The deep part of | the wound was only four of five inches long, and the whole thing was diagnosed | by the doctor as follows: Superficial knife wound, ten inches long, trans- versely across left shoulder on a line with armpit; also posterior surface of left arm. It was seWed up and will | soon be healed up enough so I can go back to the lines, ,''-Kansas City Jour- nal

THIRD VICTORIA AND ALBERT.
The First Launched in 1S43 and the Sec
 ond in 1855


 The First Launched in 1S43 and the Sec ond in 1855.
 The new Victoria and Albert is the
 third royal yacht of that name which has been built in Pembroke backyard. The first was launched in 1843 and the second in 1855. The present one is con- structed of steel, and Is divided into q number of watertight compartments. It has been designed by Sir William White, in accordance with the queens wishes in every respect It was decided that comfort should not be sacrificed to a very high speed. and a sustained sea speed in fair weather of about sevenI teen knots was named in the design in association with a speed of twenty knots in the measured mile trial of eight hours. The coal supply was fixed at a quantity sufficient to steam about 2,000 knots, say from Portsmouth to Malta. at a speed of about fourteen knots. The accommodation of her mai esty and the members of the royal fami- ly with their suites and servants, is considerably greater than that existing in the present Victoria and Albert. The new yacht moreover, has been fitted throughout in manner adapted for longer voyages. Her high speed and greater size neeessitated a larger com pliment of officers and men, for whom it was necessary to provide accommo- datiOn on a scale and of a character suitable to modern conditions. As a result, the new yacht is of much larger dimensions than her predecessor As compared with the royal yacht now ly- ing in Milford Haven the new vessel has an additional deck and the "state

 above the water. Between it and the
 upper deck are situated her majesty's
 apartments and those of the royal fami-
 ly, the cabins assigned to their suites
 and those appropriated to the eorn-
 manding officers and the principal nav
 al officers attached to the vessel The
 apartments of her majesty resemble in
 their general arrangement those of the
 old Victoria and Albert. but they are
 more spacious, and a private dining
 room has been added. These rooms oc- cupy the central portion of the state deck, where the minimum of motion in a seaWay should occur. The apartments of the members of the royal family are placed abaft those of her majesty, ex- tending over a considerable length on the state deck. They are succeeded by
 the apartments of the royal suite. Rather more than half the length of the vessel is occupied by these three series of apartments, and a wide corridor ex- tends from end to end with convenient staircases leading to the upper deck. Above the upper deck, toward the af- ter part, is a large pavilion or saloon, besides reception and smoking rooms. and the top of the pavilion forms a promenade.

It rs hoped, however that she will be ready and furnished for her steam trials towards the end of the present year, when she will leave Pam hrOlxa for portc. mouth. Early in 1900 she is expected to be ready for service, and the whole empire will join in wishing her a career as happy and fortunate as was her first l essay in salt water-London Post.

HE HAD BEEN TO SEA.
But HIS FNperience nlt1n't Fit Him
For Sailing n Yacht.

tOr Sailing n YACHT.
n A government o.licinl tells this story of
Sam Alerton's experience with his
yacht:
Mr. Allerton built himself fine coun-
try house on the shores Of Lake Geneva,
Wisconsin. 1t was as fine as anybody s
home in that locality. When he had the
house about finished, some one told him
that he would have to have a yacht, not
one of the modern steam yachts such as
you see down east, but sailing boat.
He ordered one raade and was up at the
lake when it reached there. He was
very proud of his yacht, and although he
had never been on one before concluded
that he would like to take sail right
away. In his younger days he had gone
fishing a time or two in a canoe and in
that way had learned the rudiments Of
steering boat, so he concluded to take
the helm. Looking over the group Of
loungers that had gathered about, he
shouted out the inquiry:
"Who among us has been to sca?"
II has, sah," said a tall, rawboned COL
cred man, stepping forward.
you'll do for one,' said Mr.. Allerton.
"Now, who else has been to sea?"
Nobody answering, he turned to the
colored man and ordered him to jump
aboard. saying: 1--WE two will be enough.
We can handle her"
The sails were set, the boat released
from its mornings, and start was made.
The wind was directly offshore and
blowing brisk. Mr.. ..llerton enjoyed the
sensation hugely a:ld congratulated him
self on the investment he had made He
was sailing directly before the wind, and
he doomed ahead in splendid style. BY
and by they approached the opposite
shore, and. after making several frantic
efforts to change the course of the boat,
Mr.. Allerton called out to the colored
man "who had been to sea-"
''Here, you! How are we going to |
turn this blamed thing around? I can't
do anything with her.
"'Deed, mister, don't know what to |
do. don't know nothing bout them |
there sails"
The two men pulled and hauled and |
perspired, but to no effect, and the yacht |
went on the rocks with a smash. AS |
Mr.. Allerton waded ashore he turned |
angrily to the colored man, who dragged
himself drippingly after him. and said:
II thought you told me you had been
to sea?''
Il was, sab; eight years.
"What the deuce did you do at seaT'
Il was cook, sab. "-Chicago Post

The Dsuma In OIL

The announcement that 5000, OOO
Of English capital has just been invest
ed in American oil lands as a side
move Of an English syndicate against a
Russian monopoly that has long had
control of the English market is only
one page of long and interesting story
Of petroleum. Russia for a long time
has had her eye on the oil lands of the
orient. 1t is we'll known that the rich
est oil lands, so far as geology can de-
termine it, lie somewhere between the
Persian gulf and the Armenian range.
There is historic evidence that cities
were destroyed by petroleum in that
region, and most of the asphaltum Of
commerce still comes from that domain.
But the whole country is under the
sitting blanket Of Turkish apathy and
tyranny. The jealousy of the great
powers has prevented any one of them
from exploiting that country as it de-
serves. What is known al the Manta-
schef syndicate Of Russia has In a
measure been the analogue Of the
Standard Oil company Of America. and
these giants have locked horns several
times in q struggle for the markets Of
the world. It will therefore be seen
how important this move is on the part
Of English capital. which has secured
30, 900 acres Of what is supposed to be
the richest oil land in America.
