mounting a horse. They opened fire
again and the young general fell dead
The horse was wounded and galloped
Off, but a native boy, who had been
holding it by the bride, picked up a
gun, stepped across his dead mas
ter's body, and returned the fire of
the American soldiers. He fired two
shots, then stopped; his ammunition
was gone.
The Americans, admfring his brav-
cry, wished to take him alive, so they
ceased firing. But when they reached
the boy he attacked them so fiercely
with the butt CT his musket that they
were obliged to shoot him after all. 1t
developed later that this boy was no
soldier at all, but the valet of Pillar.
At the battle of Bocave a Filipino SOL
der astounded the Americans by his
cool display of bravado. AS usual, the
Filipinos were defeated, and were scat
tering into the bamboo copses. Sudden
ly one of them halted on a slight emil
nence and fired what was evidently his
last shot. Then he deliberately laid
down his gun, spread out the fingers of
his hand and held them up to his nose
at the advancing soldiers. A whole
company was concentrating it's fire at
him, but he remained unhurt There he
stood for fully two minutes, alternately
Wagging his fingers before his nose and
sticking out his tongue. At last, with
gesture of his arm that said plainly,
You make me weary" he sauntered
quietly off and disappeared behind the
hill.
At the battle of San Jacinto. one of
the fiercest fights of the war, the Fill
pinos displayed exceptional courage.
San Jacinto lays on the coast, and it
was garrisoned by several hundred in
surgent regulars and a few militia vol
unteers. When Wheaton landed a bril-
gade there the insurgents made de-
termined resistance, although only
half of them had guns that would
shoot.
The Americans landed under the guns
of the warships. The shells raked ev-
cry street of the town; still its defend
ers stuck to their post. When the sew
eral thousand soldiers under Wheaton
advanced, the insurgents charged them
and fought hand-to-hand. Many Amer
leans were cut with bolos, and some had
broken bones where they were struck
by the butts of muskets One man was
killed by being dubbed over the head
in this fashion.
1t developed later that the insurgents
had only four rounds of refilled cart
ridges apiece. Most OF them had not
been in a serious fight before Still
they held out until just two-thirds of
their number were down. Then the
rest retreated in an orderly manner

PANAMA THE UNKNOWN
A Land of Fantastic Mysteries
and Strange Lost Mines and
Cities.

OF the new republic of Panama the
outside world knows little and hears
little excepting that which pertains to
the narrow, settled strip from sea to
sea along the line of the railroad and
the route of the proposed and partly
dug canal. But the republic comprises
many square miles besides this strip,
and in 10 are many interesting regions
and localities, some Of them once ia
NOUS but now forgotten.
The new republic has about 5000
more square miles of territory than the
neighboring republic of Costa Rica and
100. 900 more inhabitants. The canal
strip is thickly populated. but eastward
extends mountainous wilderness in
terspersed with swamps and jungles,
through which Indian trails are want
ing.
The greater part OF this region is
practically uninhabited, a few scatter
ed Indians here and there being the
only population.
There are only two exceptions to the
almost universal desolation. One is
found on the San Bias coast forty or
nifty miles east Of Porto Bello, where

an expedition which conquered the
country and established a colony. The
colony was not a success, however,
and most of the colonists died. Final
ly, during the Spanish colonial period,
Veragua was partially settled and
brought into the state in which it re-
mains to this day. In this region,
also, lies the bay called the Chiriqui
Lagoon, where the United States has
long contemplated establishing a naval
station.
The present city of Panama is not
the city of romance that was sacked
by Morgan. That city of gold, pi-
rates and conquestadors stood on the
beach some five miles to the eastward
of the present city. It's ruins are
overgrown with a dense tropical jun
gle, above which rises the tower of
the church where Pizzaro offered his
vows before setting out for the con-
quest Of Peru.
A ride along the hard beach in the
moonlight from the new town to the
diversions of the foreign colony in the
present city.
The Panama of to-day was built
upon its rock promontory three years
after Morgan had burned the old town.
There are many popular beliefs, which
may or may not be true, among the
negroes employed on the canal con-
corning the wilderness stretching to
the eastward Of the canal strip.
One is that. hidden in the forests,
Is an ancient and mysterious city 10
which the Indians repair once year
to take part IN the heather rites Of an
old prehistoric religion. When things
get settled down on the istnmus and
the canal is IN operation, much explor-
alton and archaeological investigation
may be expected IN the iong-neglected
regions which form part OF the new
republic.

American cocoanut importers have es-
tablished trading stations.
The San Bias coast is great coun-
try for cocoanuts, and the Indians
bring large quantities of them down to
the beach for shipment, receiving in
return cloth. knives, flour, trinkets and
a thousand and one Yankee notions"
Some years ago an attempt was made
by the Colombian government to es-
tablish a customs service for this coast,
and one or two American trading Ves-
sells were seized. The Indians were
excited, and after holding a council,
declared their independence of Colon
bia, ran up the American flag and sent
word to the first captain who touched
at the coast that they had annexed
themselves to the United States.
They were little ahead of time;
after awhile no more was heard of a
customs supervision of the San Bias
coast, and the Indians forgot their tenn
porary annexation"

miles.
Another oasis is formed by the viii
lage of Yavisa, on the river Tuyra,
and the neighboring settlements about
Darien Harbor on the Pacific side
of the isthmus. These are small
squalid collection of huts, inhabited
by Indians and halfbreads almost en-
tirely. A genuine white man is a
curiosity there.
But this region was once populous
and busy with industry. Not far from
Yavisa stands Pine Mountain. rising
1000 feet from level plain. On the
further side of the mountain are gold
mines, deserted now for centuries. and
below them the ruins of a prehistoric
city still called by the natives THE
City Of the King.

outpost OF the Incas at the time OF the
greatest extent of the Peruvian en-
pire, and when Peru decayed and fell

fell with it.
The conquering Spaniards seized
the mines and worked them and built
on the nearer slope of the mountain
a considerable Spanish town. the
vestiges of which are still to be seen,
though the site has long been aban-
doned. Espirito Santo, the Spaniards
called the mines. They were closed
by order of the King of Spain, be-
cause they used TO attract buccaneers.
No archaelogist has explored this
lost "City of the King" and no one
knows whether the mines of Espirito
Santo are still rich in gold and silver
or are practically exhausted; for when
the edict of the King of Spain went
forth the region relapsed into a will
derness. such as 1t was before the
northern march of the Incas had stop
ped on the shores of the Gulf of San
Miguel.
In 1854 an American exploring ex-
petition crossed the isthmus at this
point. OF a party of twenty-seven
officers and men who started on the
expedition only sixteen survived the
journey and got through, which took
over two months. though the distance
Travelled was only about fifty miles.
A French and English expedition
which started to cross at about the
same time was Obliged to abandon the
attempt.
To the westward Of the canal strip
the republic Of Panama is much more
accessible, is fairly well populated and
contains some towns OF considerable
size. There, on the Caribbean coast,
lies the old Spanish province Of YER
aqua, Of the riches Of which the Span
iards once had the highest expecta-
tions. Columbus discovered and named
this region, and when his son aban-
doned the title of Viceroy OF the In
dies he was made Duke Of Yeragua,
a title which the descendants Of the
Great Admiral have borne ever since.
The natives drove on the first Span
iards who attempted 10 colonize YER
aqua, but Columbus widow, Maria de
Toledo, acting for her son, lifted out

Just why the pancake should have
been so indissoluhly linked with the

matter of conjecture, but the con-
sensus OF opinion seems to be that It
is derived from one of the old Saxon
names for February, which is trans
lated "the month of cakes" because
the ancient pagans used to offer cakes
to the sun in that month.

While the roll call of pancakes ap-

more delicate without them.
