boat boilers were completely wrecked
for lack Of water. One of the boats
burned all her boilers so badly that
when they were taken out the work
men, the contractors inspectors and
everybody else who saw them were
amazed at the temerity of the men who
had kept steam in them. The COM
handing officer of one torpedo boat
prepared an elaborate report on the
constructive defects Of the machinery
OF his craft. A judicous friend pointed
out that his report really proved the
nlshaps in his engine room to be due
to the inexperience of the men who
had been allotted to duty there.
THE OREGON
was not favored by position at half
past nine that Sunday morning off San
tiago. She was, if anything, farther
from the harbor entrance and the
course of the Spaniards than the other
battleships, but in the long chase her
shells told the Colon that the game
was up. The Colo1, in spite of her poor
mechanical condition, was nearly hold
ing her own with the Brooklyn. But
the oregon, noninally of five knots
less speed, was steadily gaining. Mill
gans work brought the ship into po-
sition where the man behind the gun
could use his biggest armament The
Oregon was running at rate exceed
ing sixteen knots. Her shots sent the
Vfzcaya to the shore in flames Her
thirteen-inch shells compelled the Co
lon to surrender Every official report
paid tribute to her work It is even
officially conceded that, but for the
Oregon, the Colon and probably another
Spanish ship would have escaped So
much for having engines in order, boil
ers ready, fires burning. Here was a
ship after a 15,000-mile run, four
months out of dock, with foul bottom
and increased displacement, almost
equaling her trial-trip record for speed
And she fought as she ran Inside of
fifteen minutes after the full-speed sig
nal was given she was making fifteen
knots. Within an hour she was max
ing nearly seventeen.
Coming down the Pacific, the Oregon
had Cardiff coal under her boilers-the
best quality of Cardiff for steaming.
When she turned the corner of the con-
tinent and got into the Atlantic, she
picked up in the coal-ports the best
fuel she could buy, but it was much
inferior to Cardiff Milligan had
few hundred tons Of Cardiff left He
shovelled them into the fighting bunk
ers. This will do for emergency
said he. Then he locked the bunkers.
On the blockade the coal supplied to
the ships was-well, less fiery than
patriotism. On the day of the battle
Milligan unlocked the fighting bunkers,
and the Cardiff coal helped the Oregon
to make her burst of speed. Besides,
there were fires under all her boilers
when Cervera slipped out. For Gods
sake. get on more boilers!" That was

New York started on the westward
chase she had steam in all her boilers.
Her engines are like those in the
Brooklyn. Their condition at $50 that
Sunday morning was precisely similar.
The New York's running time, forty
five miles from the MORO to the Colon,
was four hours and eight minutes-a
speed Of 11.06 knots. Her rated speed
under natural draught full power is
sixteen to seventeen knots; under
forced draught, twenty-one knots.
When the flagships set such sea-
manlike, workmanlike, fighting exam
pies, what can be expected from the
rest of the fleet? Chiefly. at the last
minute, dependence on the fighting
engineers to overcome needless obsta-
cles, put the ships into position, and
hold them there.
Untilthat morning the Brooklyn had
never been under forced draught since
her contract trial trip. 1 have said
that the service relations require fore
ed-draught trials at least twice
year. The relations also provide that
forced draught shall never be used.
except by order of the commanding
officer
The Iowa, under orders to carry
steam enough to give seven-knot
speed at night and a fve-knot speed
by day, was bent chiefly on coal econ
onny. The Oregon passed her like
racer. Perhaps that is why the Ore
CONS erratic chaplain thought the
Iowa was going in the opposite direc-
ton. The Indiana was more complete
ly unprepared than the Brooklyn, If
possible; as deliberately so as the Iowa.
The torpedo boats had a hard time in
the Spanish-American war. Officers
who were on them, and officers who
were not on them, but who know the
facts, tell truths unfamiliar to the pop
ular ear. At the outbreak of the war
the number of engineer officers in the
United States navy was so ridiculously
inadequate to the duties required that
the navy department was compelled to
experiment at running torpedo f1otillas
with single engineer. Not one engi-
neer to a boat. but one engineer to six
OF eight boats! Young line officers had
to look after the engines in the inter-
walls of their other duties. They are
not to be blamed for the defective re-
suits. They were faithful enough and
ambitious enough. but you cannot

st. Paul has rarely been visited by
a lecturer on art subjects who would
compare with Fred Hovey Allen, of
Boston. Mr.. Aliens series of lectures
to be given at the Peoples church, I'M
der the auspices and for the benefit
of st. Paul School Of Fine Arts, are
replete with the true art spirit. Mr..
Allen is an authority on modern art
which he has studied exhaustively in
every country in Europe. His stereop-
ticOn illustrations are Of exceptional
value, having been secured from the
artlsts themselves or by their direc-
ton. The lecture on Vienna, It's Art
and Architecture would alone be
worth the price of the entire course
But when this is followed by lectures
on italian and Russian Art and
American Art" the series is seen to
be feast such as only comes to one
once in lifetime. Mr.. Allen, 1t is said,
puts personal element into his lee
lures which brings the listener close to
the artist and leads him to realize the
thought he has wished to express in
his pictures. The first lecture will be
given at the Peoples church next Sat-
urday evening, but on Tuesday the
course tickets can be reserved at the
HlcSfc store OF Howard, FarWell & Co.
The ladies' of the school of fine arts
here, up to date, disposed of 992 course
tickets. Every effort will be made to
sell 1,500 before the end Of the week,
and If this is done the greatest lecture
audiences in the Peoples church will
be seen during this course
Mr. Allen is the author of several
books on modern art and Is consider
ed the finest critic of contemporary art
In this country. The subject of his
nrst lecture will be Art and Archi-
lecture of Vienna the second will be
on Russian and Italian Art" In this
lecture Mr.. Allen will compare the
northern school of art with the south
ern. The last lecture of the series will
pe on American Art"
Inc three lectures will be very fully
illustrated with stereopticon views.
The lectures will be given for the
benefit of the St. Paul School of Fine
Arts and the ladies having charge of
the series hope to realize several hun
dred dollars from the sale of tickets.
The tickets for the course are 81. Sin
gle tickets, so cents.
Mr.. Allen will also deliver three lee
lures in Minneapolis.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Referring to
the article in the Engineering Magazine
Capt. Chadwick, commander of the
New York. says:
The New York and Brooklyn have four
engines, all of which together can only be
York was using forty-five tons of coal day
in blockade as 1T was. 1t was the practice to
keep steam on four of the six boilers, fifth,
filled with water, kept hot by the hydrokime-
ter and prepared for firing, and sixth clean
ing This was the condition the day of the
nction. The sixth boiler, as were all the
lest, was filled with fresh, not salt, water.
To have kept fire sufficiently to use efficiently
all the engines coupled would have occa-
stoned an expenditure Of coal which would
have forced the New York from her station
as it did others. AS 1t was, she was hanging
on by her eyeli6s, so to speak, avoiding as
long possible. going to Guantanamo for
coal. The use of her engines and the Brook
lyns coupled before the moment of full power
would have been very serious detriment,
and after full power was on it would have
been very absurd to have stopped to couple
when going sixteen or seventeen knots, and
thus lose from four to FIVE miles when 1t
was SO clearly apparent that the chase was
being rapidly overhauled. Stringent orders
existed regarding the use of fresh water in
all ships; it was not singular to the Oregon.
The New York never had any but fresh water
in her boilers, and q circular order of Ad-
miral SIMPSONS ofgMays 20 covered this mat

kept at all times 1t would simply have meant

ship is a fighting machine; her eff
cheney depends upon the engineer.
The engineer of the merchant service
has authority which the naval engineer
does not possess. 1t is now proposed,
in the United States navy, to improve
on the practice of the merchant service.
Enlightened opinion favers the plan for
abolishing the distinction between line
and staff. Engineer officers are to be
officers of the line. All line officers are
to be taught engineering.
A generation hence the anomalies of
the present service will have passed
away. The line officer of the future
will know the engine room as well as
the wheel-house and the bridge, for he
will serve below as well as above.
Meanwhile nothing will be lost, If we
remember what the fighting engineers
did to save the day at Santiago.
