With a small escort, he led the way

distance of Is miles, over hills and
through canebreak and deep mud, the
horses climbing the rocks and sliding
down the hills. Before daybreak the
command had reached the head of the

San NIateo was attacked at 8 o'clock
and a three hours fight ensued. This
resulted in but few casualties on the
American side, apart from the death
of Gen. Lawton; but the attack was
difficult because of the natural de-
lenses Of the town.
Gen. Lawton was walking along the
firing line, within three hundred yards

"But l see nothing there but some
smoke, captain!"
ut is the smoke of the Teresa burn
ing, lieutenant; she is wreck upon the
beach,"
He was silent and continued:
CLOSE to her on the beach you will
see another column OF smoke; that is
the Oquendo burning. On this side,
nearer to us, is the Pluton, sunk in the
breakers; and the Furor is near her,
but is on the bottom in deeper water,
and is not visible"
But" he interrupted, "you have
then destroyed half those splendid YES
sells of Cervera's"
"Wait, lieutenant" l continued, "and
look few miles farther to the west,
ward, and you will see another column
of smoke; that is the Vizcaya, on the
beach near Aserraderos. As to the
Colon, she is still farther to the west
ward, out of sight from us here, but
you will see her presently as your cap
tain steers in that direction to find Ad-
miral Sampson, who is at that end of
our line"
His eyes ranged along the shore as
pointed out the different vessels.
"Mein Gott!" he exclaimed. "Then
you have destroyed the whole OF that
splendid squadron! l did not think it
possible"
Alter moment more of silent aston
ishment, he said, with polite sympa-
thy which concealed eager professional
curiosity:
"And your injuries, captain? What
losses has the American squadron sus-
tained?"
None I replied.
"But, captain, you do not understand;
it is what casualties-what ships lost or
disabled-that l ask"
"None, lieutenant" I said. "The In
diana was struck twice, suffered no in
jury, no loss. The other ships are vir-
tually in the same condition. We are
all Of us perfectly ready for another
battle-as much so as before Cervera
came out this morning"
His establishment was now complete.
"Mein Gott!' he exclaimed again.

these great Spanish ships, and without
injury to his own squadron! Sir, it is

from Santiago Austrian refugees desir-
ing to leave that bcsieged town. After
referring him to Admiral Sampson, and
telling him he would be found some

WILLIAM LUDWIG.
The Noted Irish Baritone on His Way
to America.

to America.
William Ludwig, the greatest of bari
tones, is expected to reach New York
in few days. He is under engage
nent to sing at the leading May musical
festivals, which take place in the lead
ing cities of the United States during
this month 1t is now five years since
Mr. Ludwig's superb voice was heard
in this country In this interval he has
been singing the leading baritone parts
with the principal opera companies of
Europe
Great as has been his success upon
the operate stage and in the domain OF
oratorio work, he takes more pride in
the fact that he has been the humble
means OF creating what one may justly
term new school of Irish music. Prior
to his advent upon the concert stage,
it can be asserted with truth that while
the Irish people possessed the richest
store OF music in Europe very little OF
it was harmonizcd to suit the most
prevalent voices among men-the bari
tone and bass. Ludwig, as thousands
who have heard him can testify, was
the first to introduce in a manner
worthy of their themes "The Boys of
Wexford" "The Croppy Boy" Carroll
Malone" "Who Fears to Speak of 'o8?"
*The Rapparees," "The Lament for the
Milesians," "My Mary Dear" "Fineen
the Rover "Our Own Little ISLE"
''Billy Byrne of Ballymanus," "The
Priests of 49," "Orange and Green"
up with the Green Flag Twenty
Men from Dublin Town." not to speak
of mis- masterpiece, "The Wearing of the
Green" The melodies of Moore and the
ballads of Lover and other Irish song
writers have been invested by him with
a new meaning to students of Irish folk
music. His supernal voice and marvel
ous phrasing OF this class OF Irish music
have done more to popuarize it than
any living artist
In the operate world Ludwig is best
known as the creator of the leading
character in '"The Flying Dutchman,"
and "Mephistophile," in both of which
he stands to-day without rival, and in
oratorio his elijah" is admitted to be
without a peer. His rendering of the
leading baritone roles OF "The Rcdemp-
ton" est. Paul." Nazareth" and Ber-
liozs Domination of Faust" have also
evoked the highest encomiums from the
musical critics of America and Europe.
During the year of 90 Mr.. Ludwig
gave series of Irish national concerts
throughout ireland, England and Scot
land, the programmes OF which were Sc
lected from the songs and ballads of
that famous year. They were OF meal
culable service to the Irish national
cause, as they told the sad tale of Ire
lands wrongs in manner that went
direct to the heart. 1t is possible that
Mr.. Ludwig may have few open dates
during his coming visit to this country,
and any parties desiring to repeat on
: this side one OF his Irish national con-
certs should communicate with Mr..

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY.

State Superintendent Harvey has issu-
ed the annual for Arbor and Bird Day,
the date of which for this year is May ".
There is something suggestive of young
life IN the month, and the forms of life
which the observance Of the day Is de
signed to preserve and protect have IN
innate association with that period OF
life when care sat lightly on MS. The boy
who does not love the forest is a boy only
in years. All of Us can recall favorite
tree, shady nook in which dreamy re-
Fiction took possession Of us, when the
fitting and the song of birds was the
movement and the voice of Nature And
WE are the better that we can recall these
experiences, as they are resting spots for
the mind when oppressed by the shallow
ness Of life.
There is no child who has formed
friendship with nature who has not
thereby injected some purity into his
life And the fountain is ever fresh with
the waters of content when our imagin-
alton takes us back to the early time
when Nature spoke to us III the Ian
guage of the soul There is no day set
apart for special observance which should
appeal to us more strongly than Arbor
and Bird Day Ii should not be observ-
ed in noisy demonstration or formal cere-
mony The heart should guide the con
duct and the thoughts of the past should
sanctify the purpose and bring MS III
touch with nature through her represen-
tatives, the birds and trees.

RAILROAD BUILDING,

There is nothing more indicative of
prosperity than extension of railway
lines This comes in response to de-
mands for increased facilities for trans
portation or the perception that develop
ment is simply awaiting these highways
Of commerce.
For several years railroad building has
been at stand still practically The
financial policy of the country was un-
settled and enterprise was held i'll check
to await detiniteness. The paralyzing
effect of the panic of 1898 was felt in
every line of business and extreme eau
ton marked every movement Fortu-
nately the days of disy.ust are over The
best indication of this is the railroad
projects for this year.
A technical paper estimates that there
will be 5000 miles of road built in the
United States this year, which will be an
increase of go per cent. over the CON
struction of last year and that there is
total mileage of 40 600 projected and
which will be completed in the course of
few years In Wisconsin and Upper
Michigan the construction of 900 miles
Of road in extensions and connecting lines
is decided upon There is already great
demand for labor and contractors are
busy III fitting ont for the seasons work.
