The Chilean Crisis.
1T was a dramatic situation, ting

were on the point of open war. Evans
had only the guns and crew of the lit
tie Yorktown, for the Baltimore had
gone away. He was confronted in the
harbOr with ten powerful forts and
modern Chilean squadron. Yet in the
teeth of that peril. he twice saved his
flag from insult and twice cowed the
naughty Chileans by threatening to
open fire without further parley.
No Chilean dared trifle with that
intrepid American officer and there
can be no doubt that it was his firm
ness and his open readiness for battle
that prevented the Chilean navy from
seizing the refugees taken on board
the Yorktown from the American le
cation.
When the United States and Spain
were trembling with passion over the
situation in Cuba. Captain Evans was
in command of the battleship Indiana.
The Mckinley administration was do
ing everything i'm its power TO allay the
popular desire for armed Intervention
in cuba. One morning Captain Evans
called on Secretary of State John Hay.

" Mr.. Secretary, / wish you would let

Jnfolded before them. and the heart
burnlngs of long parting with rela-

amount Of appropriation asked foi.
the advance in the cost of wages
and supplies aBd the fact that from
the great pressure for the admission
of patients the board filed the hospu
al to its utmost capacity. This r.
suit forced the board to order more
admissions in the future than the
frlos in hand will care for.
4 committee consisting of Messrs.

a committee of the board of North
Carolina School for the Deaf and
Dumb upon the matter Of road be-
tween the institutions.
The matter of the election of spe
cial wards for tuberculosis patients,
for which an appropriation of $4,000
was made by the last Legislature, was
taken up, discussed, and upon motion
il was ordered that the work of cree
ton be proceeded with as early as
possible.
The superintendent, DR.. John Nc
Campbell, in his able report, sug
gested as the most economical way to
the erection of a nurses home, and
the utilization of the old laundry
building for industrial purposes, stat
ing that the conversion of the rooms
used by the nurses on the wards, the
sewing rooms, and one or more of the
day rooms into sleeping rooms for
patients would make room for about
one hundred more patients, and estl-
mated the cost of the nurses home
and other changes necessary at $751;
geo. He also suggested the erection
of new colony building for one
hundred men, the cost of which he
estimated would be 100000
The wards were examined by the
board and they, together with the
othe2 buildings and grounds, were
fund in their usual excellent condi-
ton.
