CHAPTER XVIII.

The long wait for the coming of the
big transports with the regulars was
over. For the first time in history
America was sending her soldiery past
the pyramids and through the Indian
sea, landing them, after 40 days and
nights of yoyaging, upon the low, fat
shores that hem Manila bay, and shov-
ing them out to the hostile front be-
fore their sea-legs could reach the
swing and stride of the marching step;
yet, to all appearance, as unconcernedly
at home as though they had been cam
paigning in the Philippines since the
date of their enlistment. This, to be
sure, in the case Of more than half
their number, would have given them
scant time in which to look about them,
since raw recruits were more numerous
than seasoned men. But no matter
what may be his lack of drill or prep
aration the average Anglo-Saxon never
seems to know the time when he doesn't
know how to fight. So, with all the
easy assurance of a veteran, our Yankee
''Tommies''' wriggled into their blanket
rolls and trudged away to the posts
assigned them; and once more the army
assumed the aggressive.
There were changes in the compost
ton of the forces even before the move
began. The dudes and the ''toughs"
parted company; and the former, with
Stanley Armstrong once more riding
silent at their head, joined forces with
Stewards riddled regiment up the rail-
way toward Malolos. Col. Frost had
succeeded in convincing the surgeons
that he would be as much out of place
as his name itself in such cline and
climate, and was in daily expectation
of an order home. Billy Gray, mending
only~slowly, had been sent to Corregi-
dor, where the bracing breezes of the
China sea drove their tonic forces
through his lungs and veins, and the
family rising hue of coming health
back into his hollow cheeks. The boy
had been harder hit than seemed the
case at first, said the fellows of the
tenth; but the wise young surgeon

faced colonel of infantry could have
told of causes little dreamed of in the
regiment---were either given to telling

arm that, half an hour later, Mrs. Gar
rison slowly descended the stairs, her

bowed her thanks and adieux as the
doctor closed the door Of her carriage
and nodded to the little coachman. IL

City of Crime.

The Italian city of Artena, situated
about 40 miles from Rome is known as
the City of Crime. Ever since the six
teenth century every criminal who has
escaped from prison or done his time
has emigrated to Artena, and to-day
practically every inhabitant is Grim
inal Or the child of criminals. Every
family takes the law into it's own hands,
and it is reported not day passes with
out many murders being committed in
the Streets The Italian authorities
have now come to look uponsArtena as
hopeless, and remark that it is far bet
ter that criminals should kill crimina
than that innocent persons should be
their victims. 1t is said that on one
occasion, when 90 murders had been
committed in that city in one day, the
fact was reported in one of the Italian
papers in the following terms: ..'Sinca
our last issue ga hours before) there
have been % sudden deaths in Artena."

mands a return to the automatic sys-
TEN whereby the volume of currency is
dependent upon the yield of the gold
and silver mines, and that all supple
mentary paper money be issued under
the authority of the government, and
although it may be made legal tender
its qualit y must be so restricted that
convertibility on demand into coin is
always possible.
The theory of those who hold to the
automatic system of money is that the
sources of supply, namely, access to the
mines of both gold and silver, shall al
ways remain open to the people, and
that when money becomes scarce and
dear the production of the metals will
be stimulated and the evil remedied,
and that whenever. money becomes
abundant anG prices high, affording
greater returns to labor in other
fields, that the production of the pre-
cious metals will adjust itself to the
new conditions, and that the plan of
relying upon the supply thus automat-
ically furnished will be infinitely safer
than relegating the matter of money
supply to the caprice of congresses.
Those who uphold this theory do
not contend that the system is per-
feet, and admit that it is conceivable
that managed currency, honestly
and wisely managed, might produce
more uniform results, but they in
sist that the pubic has not reached
that point Of enlig htenment upon the
money question, and that govern

"a few months ago." the diver contn-
ued, I'VE had an interesting piece of work.
A boatload of dynamite had been sunk in
the North river, and the government
wanted the stuff got rid off. Two differ
ent companies, who had tackled the job
before we got it, backed out after pre-
liminary investigation. The dynamite was
packed IN with 6OO-ton cargo of coal
headed for Albany. There were 100 boxes
of gunpowder in with the rest. What be-
came of the lighters captain and crew Is
all speculation. but it is presumed that
they were smugglers carrying dynamite in
that way to dodge the laws as to explo-
sives They may have suspected that
their game was known, and so sunk the
cargo as the best way of covering up their
tracks. Had they been caught 1t meant
some years in the penitentiary. We rails
ed the dynamite, 1886 boxes of fifty pounds
each and buried it on government prop
erty, on the left bank of the river. We
left the coal where it was, but we made
use of some of it for running our boats.
Some time when we find a boatman hard
up for fuel Wen give him the tip as to
where he can get it,"
The veteran diver of New York, fully
76 years old, gave up his South street
quarters lately and retired TO the home
of his son, near Evansville. He has made
his living under the waters of the rivers
and bays in this vicinity for nearly fifty
years, and is still robust and as straight
as an arrow. He had served with distinc-
ton in many naval battles of the Civil
War and whenever a diver was needed
to examine the hull of warship arriving
a the navy yard, he was sent for. All the
principal wrecks along the coast from
Maine to Hatteras were known to HIM,
and he has accumulated many curious and
interesting relics in his old office in the
shadow of The bridge pier, where he has
been for thirty-three years.

The best authorities say there are 100000

replied Mr.. Schlesinger. early in the day
the papers are passed about, and later the
boys with specials din the leading lines
into ones years. When war was declared
the American consul issued circulars, adj
vising Britishers to leave, and declaring
he had no authority to act for them, and
the majority have done so. The town 10
crowded with people. many from the coun-
try parts. When there are rumors OF
fighting the newspaper offices are besieg-
ed by expectant crowds. The papers have
no signals, as in Cape Town. when there
is anything important on, but the boys
soon let you hear of II. The military
events are, of course, the main topic or
conversation, but other matters are not
neglected, and business is carried on as
usual.
The mobilization of the burgher
forces was proceeding rapidly at Preto-
ria a few days before war broke out. IL
was marvellous how smoothly matters
were carried out. There was no excite
ment, no singing Of the Volkslied' in the
streets, no -wagging. All the men who
turned out were stern and determined

horses or wash dishes. What struck me

aroused a hundred times more excitement
than the departure of the burghers from
Pretoria.
"Bless you. no." said Mr.. Schlesinger.
when the interviewer expressed the pre-
vaient opinion that the republics were
without big suppl es of food: THE Trans
vaal and Free State have lots Of food.
The government has taken care of that.
and what will very likely surprise you.
the mining COMPANIES have helped the
government. Before the war broke out the
capinia ists somehow or other ran away
with the .dea that they would be allowed
TO carry on operations during the war.
Acting on this presumption, they import
ed long before the declaration of war tons
and tons Of foodstuffs. These are. of
course, all available at present, but have
not been touched, since they are reserv-
ed for future use, In this matter the gov
eminent has acted very wisely in regu-
lating the price OF food, meat and -four

will be starved out for some time to
