rsssern Steamboat Company.

DIR. Davies OF Augusta brought action
In the the municipal court of that city.
Monday, against the Eastern Steamboat
Co. for damages resulting from their fail
ure to deliver telegram. Last summer
when the doctor was building cottage
at the Isle of Springs there were some
changes which he wished to make before
the construction was continued. q. L..
Wentworth was going to Bath to the train
and then to take the boat there fol. the Isle
Of Springs. The doctor sent telegram
10 him at Bath directing him to make
the changes as they had discussed them.
The telegram was directsd to q. l..
Wentworth, on boat to Bootbbay. Bath.
Ne. The messenger boy delivered the
message to the captain Of the toat and
was told to give 1t to the purser. He did
so. Mr.. Wentworth Was on the boat but
did not receive the Telegram. The con-
strus tion Of the cottage went on without
the changes being made. DR.. Davies
went down within dag or two and some
Of the construction had to b changed
causing loss Of time to the workmsn and
extra matsrisi for the cottage. He has
now brought suit for damages for the lost
time Of the workmen and his own sx.
penss.

bayonet or some such trophy picked up
among the forts or on the wrecked Spanish
men-of-war. 1t may prove that this bal
last will not have come all the way from
Manila without having some commercial
value in the eyes OF Aericans.
FTLIPINOs ARE FIGHTERS.
Mate Dunbar, Steward Hamer and those
of the crew of the Austria with whom the
reporter talked pronounce Manila a beau
tiful bay-some of them sey unhesitatingly
''the best in the world''-and the Philip
pines beautiful and rich country. In
fact, these Britishers are eXpansionists,
and without knowing American sentiment
pro and con unite in saying that America
has drawn a prize.
But" said Mr.. Dunbar, "your people
VIII have to look out as TO how you treat
the Fiipinos. They are very loyal folk
If treated well, but they have been under
Spanish rule so long and suffered SO mucn
from the Spaniards that they are natu-
rally skeptical of all foreigners. They are
good fighters and fairly well armed, and
made it hot for the Spaniards on land
Independent of any help from the Ameri
cans"
There was young Filipino who was
acting as check clerk when the Austria
began discharging her coal. and as soon
as the fighting began he swan ashore
from the ship, and told me later that he
was proud to have put two Spaniards
where they wouldn't trouble the Filipinos
again.
And that's the way with them all
They never would have stopped fighting
SPAIN"
Mr.. Dunbar speaks of the Filipino chief
Aguinaldo. as an able leader and a de-
cidedly shrewd character.
The two Filipinos now aboard the Austria
were shipped from Manila and are extrere-
ly interesting fellows much like Japs in
! their cast Of features complexion and
straight pompadour black hair. Both are
being educated as seamen and are popular
and useful members of the crew. They
made fun Of the reporters attempt at
Spanish and the younger of them, Pedro
Salabar, quite put the reporter TO shame
by breaking into short sentences of Eng
lish and in default of an English word
occasional taking refuge in Spanish.
Pedro is feet inches, while his conn
padre" Emilio with an unpronounceable
last name which was not caught. is some
two inches taller. Both are well muscled
and stockier in every way than the average
Jap, and they seem to take one lin at one
glance of their flashing eyes. Both boye
were rugged in English clothes such as
are worn aboard a snip like the Austria.
The Filipino hand and foot are small.
All in all the two specimens now down
the harbor are a credit to any island or
country. and contrasted with the ordinary
Cuban would show to no disadvantage
whatever.

CAPTURE OF THE CALLAO

Two or three days after Dewey's victory
the little Spanish gunboat Callao came
s5eam.ug into the harbor with flying colors
las game as You please as Mr. Dunbar
expressed is-not knowing that Dewey had
arrived at Manila or that the Spaniards
had suffered defeat
The Callao had been collecting revenues
at some OF the Philippine ports and was
returning-a rich prize for the Americans
She signalled the outer forts. but received
no reply. and her first warning OF the
state Of affairs was a shot across her
bows from one Of the American ships. but
on her returning the fire the Americans
lec 80 al her in earnest, with the result
that soon the Mccullough vas dispatched
