on deck. and from the flames Of the
burning vessel. and the water sur
rounding it, could be heard cries Of
help me-" save me-" He called to the
men to mention the name of Jesus, and
as a Catholic priest, gave them ahSo-
luton. They wondered why the Span
ish boats did not come TO their assis-
lance. After a time they did come,
rowing in and out, gathering the pree-
ious freight of human lives. One man,
wounded unto death, cried out from
the water Don't cry. boys; don't let
the Spaniards hear you." In a few
moments he gave his soul to God. The
officers remained aboard, with the
knowledge that the magazine under
them was liable to explode at any

asked to be taken aboard the ship

vivors were taken aboard the Ameri-

the rain fell. in plying accord with
the awful scene. 1t appeared as IL the
angels in Heaven were weeping over
the awful holocaust of lives.
Father Chadwick gave a description
of the funeral, and took occasion to
praise the Bishop of Havana, who al
though a Spaniard and loyal to his
country, as a priest of the Church
knew neither Cuban nor Spaniard nor
American. He described the grewsome
scenes at the wharf and in the hospit-
ais, and hen related several incidents
to show the mettle of the men, some
of them bringing smiles from the audi
ence, others moving his hearers to
tears.
The lecturer had no patience with
those who said the government had
forced the wal upon a weak nation.
He said the world should admire the
patience of the people. No other ma
ton would have made such a thor

was only when Spain denied the right
of Intervention that war was declared.
1t had been said that with such a he-

lack of patriotism; but patriotism had
been sleeping thirty years, sleeping
like a giant, and when 1t was awaken

told of the prompt response to the call
for volunteers, and eulogized In glow

To Re-EstabIish Posts.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The di-
rector of posts at Manila has reported
to the Postmaster General under late
of February 5, that in order to re-es-
tablish mail communication between
towns in the province of Pangasinan,
a meeting of the local presidents of
the town was held at which it was
agreed that communication should be
r~e-established upon the same lines as
during the Spanish regime and with
out expense to the department. 1t is
not considered advisable, however, to
use these carriers for army mails. On
account of the fear expressed at the
meeting that insurgents might inter
fere with the courriers, the director of
posts has requested Gen. Macarthur to
extend all protection possible to the
carriers.
