War is over" said Rear Admiral
.lntn W. Philip, commandant of the
Brooklyn Navy yard, standing be
fore a huge chunk Of iron in the yard
that was being reprinted. There
are no rebels. There never were any
rebels, Let's forget the whole
matter and paint it out"
Here is the story:
For nearly thirty years, now,
there has been displayed in a prom
inent place before The Commandant's
office at the navy yard. where the
thousauus of visitors have seen aud
inspected and shown great interest
in il. trophy OF the Civil War 1t
is a great. massive bulk Of iron,
queer in shape, weighing many tons.
The inscription. painted on it in
large letters, whiea all might read,
told how it had been the ram Of the
.'reber' vessel Mis sippi, captured by
the Union naval forces. The Iissis
sippi was enc Of the most dreaded Of
the Confederate vessels, being similar
to the ram Tennessee and tile iron
clad Merrimac.
The big chunk Of iron has to be re-
painted about once a year in order
to keep it in a presentable condition
ana to prevent the accumulation Of
rust. Workmen engaged in the ar

achieved great victory over
Gervera's squadron off Santiago. and
uttered those immortal words,

on the ram. His mind ran back
thirty years, to the time when, as u
Young midshipman, he had remained
loyal to the Union. which Was torn
