A Gun With a History.

Could the cannon talk it would
doubtless tell tale of carnage and
bloodshed. The Maria Teresa was the
flag ship of Admiral Cervera and was
in the thickest of the fight at Santi-
ago. When finally it was run aground
several miles from the scene of the
battle several of the Spaniards were
drowned, including many wounded.
The admiral was picked up by the
Americans and later. with the surviv-
ors of the battle, was sent home to

Col. Hepburn, who is opposed to con-

delegation will support the admins

A Formidable Weapon.

When the stay-at-home citizen looks
upon this cannon and reflects that 1t
fromed only very small part OF the
armament of the Spanish ships which
formed Admiral Cervera's feet he be-
gins to realize for the first time the
courage which must have been pos
sessed by the indomitable Hobson and
his handful of men who ventured so
boldly into Santiago harbor aboard
the old shell Merrimac, Drawing the
fire of the whole Spanish fleet which
bristled with guns similar to the one
recently donated by the government
to the city of Ottumwa through Con.
gresham John F. Lacey.
The mammoth firearm is not thing
of beauty but this fact adds to, rath-
er than detracts from the value which
is attached to it by the people of the
CITY,. 1t has seen service, as shown
by the hole torn in the shield where
a missile from the American guns
wrought havoc during the memorable
battle of Santiago, on July 8, 1898.
The shield is made Of steel and Is at
least an inch thick, but this is torn
like paper at one Of the strongest
points and hole large enough to ad,
nit the body of a boy exists in the
shield. ~.
An Inscription on the front of the
shield announces that the weapon is
a trophy taken from the Spanish ship
Maria Teresa, July 8, 1898, at Santa
go, and recalls to the mind Of the
reader the never-to-be forgotten strug
gle in which the Spanish and Ameri
can patriots fought for their lives and
/ for the honor of their nations. 1t re
calls,too, the action of Admiral Schley
and the almost endless trouble stirred
lup between him and the late Admiral
Sampson, then his commander on &C
count of the famous loop" made by
Schley with the Brooklyn during the
/ battle.

Delighted With Trip.

Mr.. Hull was very much delighted
with his trip. He says New York, or
the section visited by him, is very
beautiful. The land is rolling and the
scenery inspiring. The New York
farmer is great believer in shade.
Meadows and pastures are everywhere
dotted with great trees, beneath
which cattle lie during midday, and
trees may be seen in cultivated fields.
The New York farmer believes tree
os worth more than the ground it oc
cupies.

Raises Much Hay.

Congressman Hull says the New
York farmer does comparatively little
with corn and oats and wheat. His
land is largely devoted to pasture and
to raising hay. He maintains large
herds of cattle and great diaries are
the rule. The farmer makes his mon
ey out of beef and butter and cheese.
