In connection with the speeches the fol-

Sprague, was read, and enthusiastically
received:
THE BATTLE OF MANILA.
It was May day off Manila, just before the
mornings dawn,
When our gallant little squadron into bat
tie line was drawn;
The Olympia was our flagship in that
devil-dare array;
On her bridge stood brave George Dewey,
the commander of the day.
Following close in line of battle, the Olym-
pa in the lead,
Moved the Baltimore and Raleigh, cruis-
ers of the swiftest speed;
Then the gunboats Petrol, Concord took
their places side by side;
Just astcrn came cruiser Boston, gliding
smoothly on the tide.
Sudden flashes Dewey's signal: "Ships, in
eight-knOt time advanced
Forward then upon Cavite! Give the
Spanish boats no cbance.'
Now the Spanish Admiralfs flagship, the
Cristina, first is seen;
Through the mist the Isle de Cuba rises
from the sea OF green.
As our squadron fronts Manila, Spanish
guns let forth their roar,
And the iron hailstone smites us from the
batteries OH the shore,
On speeds Dewey toward Cavite, Spanish
mines exploding near,
Sailing over damned torpedocs," never
faltering through fear.
Look, Cavite bclches thunder! Shells
around Olympia fly;
One bursts DER her, now FIVE hundred
tlroats send forth thrilling cry;
Now we hear it louder, louder, echoine
again, again:
Still the battle-cry grows fercer, Boys
remember, now, the Maine"
Sec Olympia's Captain Gridley; in his con
ming tower he stands,
Looking eagerly toward Dewey, to receiv,
the first commands;
sYou mag fire when ready, Gridley," salt

Gridiey gave the order, "Fire" Then be

And Castillo fast was crumbling 'neatl
the blows our gunners dealt;
Noise Of screaming shot Is mingled witt

But resounds above them all. the battle

DROPPED MEMBERS.
One resolution presented by the Depart
ment of the Potomac asked that the 2lst
National Convention provide Il limit to the
time in which dropped members can be
kept out of the Order by the Corps that
dropped them. The Committee did not
approve this resolution.
The National President stated during
the discussion that followed that she had
ruled in the case brought up by Potomac,
that dropped member had some rights,
and that after being reelected for rein
statement in her old Corps, such dropped
member would be eligible for admission
to any other Corps, by making written
statement of facts to the Corps which she
wished to enter. Mrs. Taylor said that
this was the rule of the Grand Army of
the Republic as cited in the decisions in
Beaths' Blue Book, and was good law for
the Woman's Relief Corps.
The report of the Committee on Reso-
lutions was adopted, Mrs. Isabel Worrell
Ball protesting that the Rules and Regu-
lations of the w. Il. G. gave a finality
on the method of procedure and that it
would be wiser to amend the Rules in this
particular than to adopt the Blue Book
ruling, which she declared to be dIa-

This amendment is thought by many to

and asked that the National w. r. G. pc
tition Congress to purchase, and hold all
of the memorials and relies of the life AMI

known as the Oldroyd Lincoln Memorial
Collection.
The Committee on Resolutions for some
reason did not approve this resolution, but
Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball, of the Depart
ment of the Potomac, where the OIdroyd
Collection is located in the house in which
Lincoln died, made a ringing speech in
favor of the adoption of the resolution.
She explained that it was in this house
that the department President, Mrs. Ida
A. Oldroyd, and her staff, had given a re-
ception to the National President, Mrs.
Taylor, in February.
The National President then left the
chair and in few remarks spoke of the
value of such collection and her belief
that the Nation should own it, She was

Vice-President of the Department of the

of the resolution, and it was finally adopt.
ed by unanimous vote of the Convention.
Resolutions were presented by seven
