BoQp a City
is Besjeged,

An explanation of just what besfeg[
ing a city means should to the average
layman prove interesting. ,,,,,
To begin at the. beginning, then, the
first purpose of besieging a city, natur-
ally. is to capture it; the purpose OF
capturing it is to hold 1t, and the pur-
pose of holding it-for the capture of a
city that cannot afterward be held may
be looked upon as useless undertaking
and waste of so much time and energy !
as have been expended upon the task
may resolve itself into many reasons
In the first place, it Is a blow to the
! enemy; with the city as base. unless he
is in force, the soldiers occupying 1t can
keep the enemy from successfully operat-
ing in that territory; if retained until the
end of the war, 1t plays great part in {
the dictation of just what the terms OF
peace shall be; and then last, but not |
least, the reader may rest assured that q :
city or town that is considered of suff1,
cient Importance bg,aenea army to de-
fend to the last, and by the opposing
army to capture, is a place of peculiar
strategical position, and this reason Of
itself would be enough for an attacking
army to come and remain before it. OF
course, the principal place to besiege Is
the capital Of the enemy's country, and
to this ultimate object all other sieges
tend
When a city Is besieged, the attacking
army is often from three to ten miles
away from it. The nearer, of course,
the attacking party can get to the place
the better they can operate against il,
and they are continually strainlng every
muscle and conceivable strategy to adj
vance as close as possible or as circum-
stances appear to them advisable; while
the opposite side is always going through
the same strain with the object of keep
ing them off.
To do this. trenches are dug mites out
to cover the roads by which. the enemy
may approach the city, and these are
called "outworkS" Behind these are
other trenches, some little way back, and
behind these are often others; while just
on the outskirts of the town are gener-
ally erected rude forts-that IS, If the city
has not massive strongholds already
built, and here the last stand IS taken,
with redoubts about them, and defended
so long as they are found tenable
Then, not only making q defensive
stand, the besieged party resorts to little
skirmishes and guerilla attacks for the
purpose of the more effectually keeping
the enemy off or driving him back
The first idea of an attacking force
Wnen a siege Is begun Is to cut or the
town 1t is surrounding from the outside
world.
1t need not necessarily maintain a
blockade, but In order to make the town
subsist entirely upon such supplies as it,
has on hand, so that possibly the CARRIE
son may the sooner be starved into SUBJ
mission-if this course is necessary-A
careful guard is maintained so that
nothing may be brought into the places
and then, to further delay and hamper
any relieving force that may come to
the garrisons aid, all surrounding rail-
ways are destroyed with the exception
possibly of one running into the besieg-
ers' own territory. And this has to be
carefully guarded.

Ireland and the queen.

Harper's Weekly.
1t was given out a few weeks ago that
her majesty intended seeking the Italian
Riviera this year, where she could at least
be sure of security from insult. The
plan was suddenly changed last week,
and the very interesting announcement
made that, after an absence Of thirty
seven years, the queen was again to visit
Ireland 1t has always been a grievance
with Irishmen, and q quite legitimate
grievance, that their country should have
been SO markedly sighted in the matter
o. royal visits. A more sympathetic gov
eminent than the English would never
have allowed such a complaint to arise.
Irish patriotism Is just as emotional as 1t
was when O'Connell declared that, If nee
essary, he could get five hundred thou
sand brave Irishmen to defend the life,
the honor and the person of the beloved
young lady by whom England's throne is
now filed" and no surer appeal could
have been made to it than by the periodic
presence Of the sovereign. Even now,
when It comes less as an act Of repara-
ton for past neglect than a recognition
of the brilliant services performed by
Irish regiments in South Africa, the visit
can have only good effects. BY the time
the present Duke of York is George the
Fifth of England, royal residence in
Ireland, annually visited, will be an as
sured fact.

gone, if there ever were any, and right
over the gable of the facade Is a small
belfry with pointed roof. The Francis
cans were the second order to come to
the Philippines, arriving here in 1877.
A little further on one comes across San
Nicola de los Recofetos, another grIy
stone church, not unlike San Francisco
in architecture, except it has on one si1e

and martyrdom of st. Nicholas of Toien-

ished that II looks like FURNISHED bronze.
This and another figure of ST. Nicolas
were brought from Mexico by the Reco-
