van. Ten minutes after u midnight,
May /, 1898, the Raleigh was abreast
of Ell Fraileroek, with its three gun
battery of IL inch Hontoria rifles. The
Spanish opened fire, and the projectile
passed between the Raleigh and the
Petrol. A second Spanish shot, and
then, at 1915 Il. M, the Raleigh turned
loose. She fired only a few shots, but
they were the first of the battle.
At daybreak Dewey engaged the
Spanish fleet, the Raleigh still third
in the circfng line of United States
ships. In the second attack, latter

and later several small vessels.
After his return to this country in
1899 Rear Admiral Coghlan got into
trouble with the navy department for
reciting Il satirical ditty called 'Hoch
der Kaiser at a dinner given in his
honor in New York, but the matter
finally blew over without serious con-
sequences.
The admiral was at Colorado Springs
a couple of years ago., when President
Roosevelt was in the west on his ia
nous panther hunt. The two men
met on the hotel veranda, and the adj
miral pressed forward to shake hands.
For a moment the president peered
at him and then passed on to the next
person.
Joe" said the admiral's wife, 'he
didn't recognize you. Go up and tell
him who you are" Obediently the ad-
miral returned, saying, Il don't be-
lieve you remember me. Mr.. Roose-
velt."
Again the president peered at him.
As he looked a broad smile spread over
his face, and, ~clapping the admiral On
the back, he fairly shouted, "Hoch der
kaiser!'
Rear Admiral Coghlan is a native
of Kentucky, but was appointed to An
napolis from Illinois. He was grad
uated in 1868. reached the grade of
captain in 1896 and was made real
admiral in April, 1902. Rear Admiral

was affected with kleptomania. lie was
a good-natured fellow, but ne would con-

upon, and consequently the pilot and
engineer OF the boat had TO be care
full about how they left their property
lying around One morning Captain Ross
missed a pair of new shoes. which he
had left in the pilothouse the evening
before. He asked the negro If he had
seen the shoes. mo, sah." said the ne
gro, II hain't seen yo' shoes" Not
withstanding his denial, Captain Ross
was confident that the fireman had the
footwear. He called his engineer, and
they laid a trap for the negro. The
next morning, when San showed up,
he was addressed by the engineer, who
said:
Well. Sam. the cap'ns goin' to bring

Why. Sam, haven't you heard about

Well. this rooster continued the en-
gineer, is a kind of detective. When
ever the cap'n's missed anything about
the house he calls everybody in the
house into one room, then he points TO
them one after another When he
points at the right one the rooster
crows, and then he knows who stole
the missing article"
This seemed to worry Sam a great
deal Tina. evening. just before knock

and said: ''Marse Joe. 20 amt got no

'Well. cap'n. for the Lawd's sake

The captain then told Sam If the shoes
were returned he would not bring the
rooster down The darby agreed TO this.
The next morning the captain received
