/ do not exaggerate in the least
when l say that, as we hauled off into
the bay, the gloom on the bridge of the
Olympia was thicker than a London
fog in November. Neither Commo-
dore Dewey nor any of the staff be-
lieved that the Spanish ships had been
sufficiently injured by u fire to pre-
vent them from renewing the battle
quite as f~uriously as they had pre-
viously fought. Indeed, we had all
been distinctly disappointed in the re-
suits of our fire. Our pro,ectiles
seemed to go too high or too low
Just as had been the case with those
fred at us by the Spaniards. Several
times the commodore had expressed
dissatisfaction with the failure of our
gunners to hit the enemy. We had
begun the firing at too great a dis
lance, but we had gradually worked in
further on each of the turns, until we
were within about 2500 yards at the
close of the fifth round. At that dis
lance, in a smooth sea, we ought to
have made a large percentage of hits;
vet, so far as we could Judge, we had
not sensibly crippled the foe. Conse-
quently Commodore Dewey hauled
out into the open bay at the end of
the fifth round to take stock of am
munition and devise a new plan of at
tack. Joseph L. Stickney, in Harper's
Magazine.

GET A RAISE IN WAGES.
New England Mil Workers Secure
an Advance Of II IL Per Cent,
MANUFACTURERS AVOID A STRIKE

Representatives of the Operatives Held a
Conference with the Mill Owners Mt
Fall River and Won a Signal Victory
The Advance is Generalj and Over
10000 Workers Are Benefited.
FALL RIVER, Mass. (special).--Concerted
action on the part Of the textile labor
organizations OF this city has forced the
Manufacturers Association, representing
the mill owners, to increase the wages 1915
per cent. 1t Is q signal victory for the
trades unions in New England, and its In
nuence will be felt In every mill town east
Of the Hudson River.
Already news Of a corresponding increase
in wages comes from Providence, r. l.,
Lowell, Lawrence, New Bedford and nearly
all the great mill centres in this section OF
the country. The advance In wages takes
effect in this city on April 8. Its direct eff
feet in Fall River will be to add S25, 900 a
week to the wages of 80, 1000 operatives en-
ployed In eighty-one cotton mills, owned
by forty corporations.
There is no doubt about ninety per cent.
OF all the mills in New England following
the lead Of this city, and that means many

pockets OF the mill operatives, and there.
fore additional prosperity throughout this
section.
1t was for this identical raise of 1915 per
cent. that the New Bedford mill workers
waged the greatest strike In the history of
the industry just one year ago. Led by
able representatives, Fall River operatives
resorted to diplomacy and played a wait
ing game. Without a loss of one days
work they nave won where New Bedford
failed; won not only for themselves, but
for their fellow workmen throughout the
country.
Fifteen representatives of the labor
unions, known as the Textile Council, met
by agreement the subcommittee OF the
Manufacturers Association to discuss the
demand which the operatives had made for
an increase of 1873 per cent. in wages. The
manufacturers showed no disposition to
restore wages willingly, and 1t was only
after the hardest Kin OF a fight that the
representatives OF the labor unions were
able to make terms with them.

SPANS OLD, GRIM JEST.
Requests Great Britain to Give Her Back
Gibraltar, as a Part of Trade.

Snnin has repeated its almost annual re-
Quest to Great Britain for q transfer OF
territory, including Gibraltar. The story
comes to Washington from the highest Of
acial sources In Spain that England has
been asked to yield up thethe historiof fort
fled neninsula. Spain Offering to cede to
England her possessions in Airlca, notably
Ceuta, Rio de Orc, the strip OF territory on
the west coast OF Sahara, the Island OF
Fernando Pc and some smaller possessions
on the Guinea coast.
The Spaniards maintain that the African
possessions of Spain are OF far greater in
terest n strategic Importance TO Eng
land than Gibraltar. The English can
readily transform Ceuta into a new Glib
ralta. they argue, on the south or African
side. thus putting England within striking
distance OF some OF the treasured territory
of France. and at tn g front OF all northern
Africa. Ceuta Is already Il strongly forth
ned seanort. Its defences are naturally
strong and have been reinforced artilcially
by tbs Spaniards. 1t is directly opposite
Gibraltar.
1t is an interesting fact that the masses
OF the Spanish public do moi know that
Snain has no title whatever to Gibraltar.
They are fed with repeated stories OF lease,
TEMPORARY occupation. and so on. 1t is
probable that the request now made Is for
home political purposes only. No ministry
in Great Britain, 1t is suggested, could out
live the storm which q serious proposal to
give up the Rock would arouse,
