That the natives of the Philippines
knew very little about the United
States before Dewey's guns awoke the
echoes of Manila bay was plainly shown
by their attitude toward the great
American dollar. They knew absolute
~ nothing about American money when
our camp was first established at Ca
vite. Upon landing we found that our
silver dollars were of no use to them
apparently. At first they would not &C
cept one of them. but later American
dollars passed current, the same as Span
ish and Mexican This condition Of af-
fairs our boys were not slow in taking
advantage Of Whenever they received
American change for Spanish or Next
can money they exchanged on the
equality basis so popular with the ma
tives, and as every American dollar is
as valuable as two Mexican or Spanish
dollars the soldier boys often made q
considerable profit on the transaction.
The natives are shrewd, however, and
in very short time they had mastered
the new problem in finance and were
carefully storing away all their Ameri-
can money. When we captured Manila.
we found that the shopkeepers were
fully conversant with the situation and
every American dollar would buy the
same amount as two Spanish dollars or
two Mexican dollars. This fact, how
ever, was somewhat offset by the speedy
advance in prices
This is the Land of cigars and ciga-
rettes, for here every body from the over
grown pickaninny to the head Of the
family rolls the cigarette or smokes the
cigar. Smoking is not an expensive lux
ury in the Philippines. for cigars and
cigarettes are extremely cheap. One
odd feature in connection with our &C.
cupation of Manila is the fact that the
natives have taken great fancy to our
plug chewing tobacco and will give al
most anything they possess in exchange
for it. Our hard tack also seems to fill
q want with the Filipinos, and they
will fairly take the clothes off their
backs for an American onion.
In the United States the American
soldier is not particularly fond of rice,
but this climate seems conducive to an
appetite for this nutritious cereal. and
it is now popular food in the camps
Since the fall of Manila barrack life
has been very monotonous. especially to
the volunteers. There is plenty TO do
every day, but one day is just like an
other. There is the continuous routine
Of guard duty, but routines are not in
sriring to the ordinary soldier, who
since he has come into possession Of the
coveted city Of the Philippines is some
what anxious. it must be confessed, to
return home. About the only alluring
prospect at present is the possibility Of
brush with the Filipinos. Notwith-
standing the monotony Of his routine
existence, however, the soldier here has
some opportunities for enjoyment. Fo,
instance, there is the surf bathing il
Manila bay. It compares very favorably
with the bathing at Atlantic City O,

San Francisco, Nov. 15.-Additional
particulars of the terrible trip of the
transport Siam from this port to Man.
ila have been received here. The Siam
left here on Aug. 10 with 400 horses
for the army in the Philippines. All
went we'll between here and Honolulu.
but after leaving that port the vessel
ran into a typhoon on Sept II, losing
three horses. Good weather followed
until Oct. l. when terrific typhoOn
was encountered near Guam Island,
four days from Manila. At the first
roll of the vessel the horses stam-
peded. Wave after wave crashed over
the decks of the steamer, throwing
the animals about, breaking their legs
and otherwise manning them. Tho
scene was frightful, and it was i'm
possible for the men on the ship to do
anything with the terrified horses. The
vessel was uncomfortable and it was
next to impossible for any one to stand
on deck, it was so slippery with blood
and debris. There were $50 horses kill
ed, and their bodies remained on deck
Y2' four days before they could be dis
posed of. Thousands Of sharks fol-
lowed the vessel, being attracted by
the stencil and the possibilities Of a
feast. The transport was blown o.
thousand miles out Of her course.

A MistiuIn red IsInutl.

1t has recently been discovered that
the island of Madagascar is misnamed
aud should be called st. Lorenz island.
Marco Polo, in his work on Africa,
named a stretch of land on the east
coast, south of the equator, Madagascar.
Some time after this Martin Belhaim of
Nuremberg prepared chart of Africa.
using Marco Polos works as guide,
but misunderstood the report on Mada-
gascar thinking it meant m island. He
thercupon deliberately added an island
to the east coast. This imaginary island
was mapped on the charts OF the geogra-
piers Of the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries.
In 1906 the Portuguese sea captain,
Fernando Svare2, discovered the real s-
land of Madagascar and gave to it tho
name of st, Iorcnz, and for time thcre-
after two islands found their place on the
charts. In 1881 it was known that there
was really only one island, and in ac.
cordancc with this discovery the original
name of Madagascar was retained, and
the other name was dropped.

Big O share.
Washington, Nov. 15.-Before the in.
dustrial commission yesterday Mr..
John W. Gates. managing director of
the American Steel Wire company,
gave an account of his effort to effect
consolidation of all the wire produc-
ing countries. He had visited, Great
Britain, France. Germany. Belgium
other countries for this purpose. Ger
many he found to be the principal COM
petitor. The German manufacturers
first proposed that in case Of an inter-
national consolidation the United
States should be content with rs PEI
cent OF the product. This he had de-
clined, and they had afterwards in
creased the allowance to 55 per cent.
lie had run away from Berlin to avoid
accepting the proposition.
Mr.. Gates had himself represented
the possibility of increasing prices to
the extent of about $40 per ton in case
OF the proposed amalgamation, but
found that the Germans had in view an
increase OF about $40 per ton. In this
connection Mr.. Gates commended In
high terms the German method of en-
couraging the producing and export
Ing interests, saying that II the gov
eminent of the United States would

would be doing 80 per cent of the iron
and steel business of the world. He
advocated subsidies to steamship lines
and to national corporations of 35,00O,-
600 capitalization and over. He would
have the corporations pay literally for
such charters in the beginning, and
then have them pay large sums annu-
ally for the continuance OF the franz
chise. increasing the amount as the
capitalization increased until the an

FISH THAT UTTER SOUNDS.
LunGfish and Drumfish Dark, and the
DOghxh Is Quite Noisy.

LunEhsh ana DrUmnsh BRrk, ana the
DOgfish Is Quite Noisy.
It is freely admitted that fish that ut
ter sounds are not rare to remarkable
extent but to translate these sounds into
the English or hny other language and be
able to appreciate the feelings of the den
liens Of the deep at various thrilling
stages of their uncertain careers is be-
yond the ken of ordinary mortas. We
are told that a fisherman out at sea land
ed strange fish in his boat and that the
fnny captive Immediately opened its
mouth and began to grunt and groan so
loudly as to attract attention. The fish
erman took it up and was so convinced
that it was talking and begging for liber-
ty that he tossed it back into the brine.
More musical than the noise made by
any fish is said to be that of the eel,
while the oudest sound uttered by fish
is that of the dogfsh Both the lunglsh
and the drumfsh utter singular barking
sounds Of peculiar resonance, and whales
have been known 10 cry out as if for help
when they have been stranded. OF the
salmon and the trout little has been
learned so far as fish talk on their part is
concerned, but this may be due in
measure to the fact that the man with
the rod has never felt inclined to devote
his eur to patient listening of well
stocked stream. II these favorite fish
could talk. what tales they might unfold,
what regulations they might blast.
Perhaps it is best for us all that the
trout Is not gifted with eloquence like the
eel and gizzard shad. Perhaps, too, it
were better for us to continue on merely
a glancing acquaintance, astronomical
acquaintance. If fishes talk, they might
even betray us to ourselves and take
away from us the joy of our own decep-
tions. Nevertheless, it is u question for
debate whether the noises produced by
certain fish can be considered as a Ian
guagc or as expressions of the emotions
frauGht with meaning. Without doubt
we shall soon be in receipt of a batch Of
communications from mountain resorts
and watering places throwing light on
the matter Of fish talk, and it is not I'M
probable that we may learn that some
Bostonan scientist has already prepared
table Of Goldfish sounds and their mean
ings so that a fisherman may sit still
with line or net and call the fish to him
at will.-San Francisco News Letter.

"ReadyT calls the steward.

her clothes are poor, but not shabby.

remarks, while the surgeon and the stew
