, examination and decided that these
were worth saving. They were raised
and temporary repairs were made. The
vessels proceeded under their own
steam to Hongkong and they had been
there for some time undergoing repairs
before Hobson ever saw them. AS a
matter of fact, never claimed that we
sunk the ships. l reported that we de-
stroyed them. But did see, with my
own eyes, an eight-inch shell strike the
stern of the Reina Maria Christina,
Admiral Montejo's flagship, and that
destroyed 1t. The statement that the
vessels were not much injured below
the waterlne is probably true. Every
one knows that it is impossible for
shells to do much execution below the
waterline, or for anything but torpe-
does to do much damage there. hard
ly think 1t worth your while to pay
much attention to this" continued the
admiral, as he selected a walking stick
and started for a stroll. You know 1t
is human nature, to depreciate what
others have DONE" and Admiral Lud-
low nodded his approval.

BY This Young Man.

statement of Lieut. Hobson creates
surprise among naval men here
Lieut.. Hobson succeeded in raising
and restoring to service two of the
smaller Spanish gunboats that took
part in the battle of Manila. In speak
ing of the Oregon he said she is very
little damaged, and a few thousand
dollars will make her all right
Dewey's Side.
Admiral Dewey, at the home of his
brother-in-law, Admiral Nicoll Ludlow,
in Oakdale, l.. l., where he is now a
guest, did not appear to be especially
disturbed over the interview with Lieu
tenant Hobson. He said: 81 hardly
think the young man meant to say any
thing unkind. The facts are briefly as
follows The three vessels which he
refers to, the Isla de Cuba, Isla de Luz
on, and the Don Juan de Austria, were
found to be least injured of all the ten
or twelve ships that were sunk. Naval

Pacific coast papers in British Col
umbia are publishing under flaming
headlines the statement that Dewey
did not earn his title to heroism; that
he did not hit a boat hard enough to
hurt in Manila bay. Lieut.. Hobson
stated to the press representatives
quite freely that in acting as superin-
tendent at the Hong Kong drydock,
where the Manila war vessels are
being repaired and reconstru ted, he
had thoroughly examined the lulls OF
the vessels sunk in Manila bay and
found that they had sustained little If
any damage below the waterline, and
that the American fleet had practically
done the Spanish no damage at all.
Lieut.. Hobson gave it as his opinion
that the Spanish admirals had simply
scuttled their vessels to prevent them
from falling into the hands of the
Americans. The American gunners
have heretofore been given credit for
sending the foes ship to the bottom
of Manila bay by the terrible accu-
racy of their cannon fire, and the

A PLAGUE OF ToADS.

A plague OF toads has descended on
several places in the vicinity OF New
York, but Hawthorne and Paterson, n.
j., are the most afflicted, or say the
most about it. A lawyer who wheels
between his home and his office, in the
two places, respectively, says that he
kills thousands Of mem every morning.
The council is considering what best
can be done to mitigate the evil. As
yet the vegetation has not suffered
from their inroads, but 1t is expected
that soon their appetites will develop.
The only remedy offered is that sug
gested by an old farmer. Get snakes
to eat them up" The toads have been
washed in great quantities into ne els
terms and wells, and soon the water in
them will be unfit for use.

The returns are comparatively quick
and much above those of any other
colonial product. According to careful
calculations, plantation of 100 hec-
tares of Sapium Tolimense would at
the end of seven or eight years attain
a productiveness of 10000 to $4,000
pounds of rubber, and at todays mar
ket price would represent an enormous
income from so small an area of

said
About what he's to do; guess she's
afraid
To let him try his way
OF watching me the day
When Pa takes care of me.
When Pa takes care of me,
He puts me on a rug,
Gives me kiss and hug,
Then brings in every pillow he can

And piles them up in front, at sides.

And then he gets picture books, and

Them down beside me, and my blocks

And says Now, go ahead; make all

You want to; l don't care"
And sit there and stare,

starts some song
About bye, Baby, Bye!"
And lie fiat and cry,
Wnen ia takes care OF me.
When Pa takes care of me,
He grabs me up at last,
And starts to walk, real fast,
And talks to me, and pats my back,
and tries
To act as If he liked it; but he signs,
And signs, and keeps a-lookin' at the
clock,
And out the window, up and down the
block,
For sight of Ma; and when she does
come in,
She grabs me quick, and says, ut is

And Pa looks mad, and-I-

COTTON DECLINES.
Great Excitement Prevails at New
York Exchange

New York, Sept. 21.-Great excite
ment prevailed at the opening of the
cotton exchange yesterday morning.
The English cables, instead of coming
higher as was expected, reported a de-
cline. Selling became more active and
the opening call was at a decline OF
IL to Is points. Selling was general
and at advices generally bearlsh, and
the decline increased to q to 30
points. The weakness was increased
by reports of unsettled southern mar
kets with spot buyers said to be re-
treating and English markets declin-
ing under pressure of increasing offer
ings for nearby shipment, which we're
emphasized by the withdrawal OF
American spinners from the spot
markets. At times the market was
very irregular, almost panicky. The
close was barely steady at a net de-
cline of rs to 20 points.
