BATTLE UNDER. WATER.

Moved FOrWard)
he again went down into the sea. This
time his object was to fight to death
the ugly monster that interfered with
his work, or die in the attempt.
Slowly the serpentine creature moved
forward and reached out with one of its
long arms. Its rounded eyes were
stretched wide open, and it looked we'll
worthy its common name.
The Shiny arm was met by vigorous
blow from the harpoon. The creature
was quick and drew the arm back.
Again it swung out and this time hit
the diver on the hip, but lost the arm.
for one blow had severed it. Infnriated
by the pain, the animal began to fight
in earnest.
One or two heavy blows proved of
little consequence, but Capt. Conrad is
strong man, and swung the harpoon
with well-directed aim, finally driving
the weapon into a vitalspot.
When injured the octopus discharges
fluid which blackens the water near
1t. This seems to be the provision ma
ture had made for the creatures pro-
lection, in this way making 1t impos-
sible for an enemy to continue the bat
tie; but the fatal blow had, fortunate
ly, been inflicted by the diver before the
b.ackness surrounded him. AS soon as
the inky water cut off his vision Capt
Conrad rushed for place of safety and
managed to get beyond reach of the
deadly arms. He gave the danger sig
nal once more, but this time returning
TO the surface victor.
After remaining some time on the
boat, until the. nky fluid rose to the
surface and cleared away, the diver
started down for the third time. He
did not know that his work was COM
plete. but when he got down he found
the devilfish dead, but close under the
hull of the vessel, where the work had
TO be done. The harpoon was driven
fast into the body, but the weight was
too much for the captains strong arm,
and rope attached to the harpoon and
pulled by the men in the boat failed to
dislodge it. Wher the captain was
quite sure that the animal could work
him no further harm he lay on its back
while driving the rivets over the hole
In the hull.
The captain says that the creature
was three feet across it's back, with q
body twice as long. and its arms meas
!. ured eight to ten feet.

that the banks of New York have

ASIDE from all questions of consti-
nationality or mere expediency, it is
the moral situation in which we find
ourselves placed IN the PHILIPPINES,
which it seems to me ought to distress
evsry true American heart. 1t is so
utterly un-Americgn in spirit, so al
most inhuman. How any genuine
American, with the principles of the
Declaration of Independence IN his
can look complacently at what is go

understand. With every fresh battle
fought, I want to hide my face in
shame and horror at what my country
is doing there. What crime have those
FilipiIos committed that, under the

out hope to a good many, of inter-

more would have deserted. Now
that Mckinley has recommended a
