thor not only OF the memorable dispatch that
turned Dewey's fleet loose upon Spanish
sovereignty over the Philippines but of most OF
the other dispatches that directed naval opera

and for several years before that time as we'll
Lieutenant Whittesey came TO Washington as
Admiral Ramsays aid in the Bureau of Navi-
cation in June 1896. and he became so valua-
BILE that he was not permitted to go to the
front afoat when war began. notwithstanding
his plea for a chance to fight, but was retained
in the most important office held by young
man under the entire government until after
the peace treaty was signed. 1t was Lieuuten-
ant Whittlesey who received long after mid
night, the famous dispatch from Captain Sies-
bee, at Havana, announcing the destruction
of the Maine, and laid it before the Secretary
of the Navy and the President and also the
dispatch Of July from Admiral Sampson at
Santiago, telling of the victory won by the
feet under his command. In fact, Lieutenant
Whittlesey, the sole custodian of the secret
naval cipher, was the first in the United States
to all the important dispatches including
that dated May 1, which arrived from Hong
Kong May Z. week after the Philippine
cable cut. which began:
THE squadron arrived at Manila at daybreak
TINS ana ended, i request the de-
partment will send Immediately from San Fran
cisco fast steamer with ammunition"
Naval officers regret that Secratary Long in
his speech at Boston, commencing the wording
of the order to Dewey, failed to make clear it's
strongest sentence. AS Lieutenant whittlesey
wrote it. as the President approved 1t. as the
Secretary signed it. and Dewey received 1t
and obeyed it. the order read as follows:
Washington. April "a, 1893.
Dewey, Hong Kong.
War has commenced between the United
States and Spain. Proceed at once to Philippine
Islands, commence operations at once, particu-
larly against the Spanish fleet You must capt
ure vessels destroy. Use utmost endeavors.

trict of Columbia, but went to the Naval Acad-
emy in 1880 a Hooser He is regarded by
many as the most efficient flag lieutenant in the
service.

At present the other roads will content them
selves with making the rates as the santa

stated by one Of it's officials follows:
I'VE have known for some time there was cutting
going on secretly, but steadily. We decided the
best thing do TO announce the reduced rates
openly, instead OF making them in secret We are
the first It. but all the other lines will
be forced to take similar action. l do not see how
they can do business otherwise
The traffic manager of another road said; We
are making out a traffic list on the same basis as
the Santa Fee and all the other roads will take
the same action The new rates are simply ruin
GUS and the outlook is very blue There is no pos

the cutting had TO be stopped, and war to

this will end II. Some of the roads will cut
these rates in before the affair is ended

MODERN BOILER MAKING,
The Ola Way with ITS DeafeniRE
Noise Hns Been Almost Entirely
Done Away with.

We prepared for dcafening sounds.
But there was comparatively little
noise, for the old boilermaker who
hammered away all day on rivets is,
in Baldwin's at least, a thing of the
past. His place has been taken by
powerful machinery that presses in
stead of hammering. We began, says
Theodore Waters in Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly, to get larger
glimpse of the machinelilie precision
of the works, and from what we saw
it would seem that the making of
locomotive boiler is the work of few
minutes. For instance, we went over
to where big machine was drilling
holes round the edges of some large
slabs of metal. The slabs measured
q dozen feet each way and were an
inch thick, yet the drills went
through several of them superim-
posed, AS though they were 50 much
felt While we looked, travelling
crane came rapidly up the aisle and
stopped by the machine. Two fiat
hooks, like those used to lift barrels,
IL
caught one on the edge of ii metal
sheet which had heen drawn from the
machine, He deNterously threw the
other hook across to the opposite side
| OF the sheet, and it caught neatly
over the edge Immediately the crane
| lifted the sheet into the air and car
ried it swiftly down the shop, per-
haps n hundred feet, to where roll
ing machine was working. One edge
of the sheet was dropped into the
rolling machine, which bit it as be-
tween teeth, The crane hooks slipped
off and the sheet began to slide in be-
tween ttfe rolls. There was a heavy
| grinding sound, and then we could
see the sheet coming up from the
rolls. 1t was no longer fiat, but
curved into a great tube. Workmen
slipped it out of the end of the roll
ing machine, and another crane came
along. picked it up, and started away
with it. We followed after.
