4 BALLAD OF MANILA BAY.

From a poem by C. G.. D. Roberts
republished in hQnor of the Spanish
war veterans now in Pendleton:
Your threats how vain, corregidor;
Your rampired batteries feared no
more;
Your frowning guard at Manila gate
When out captain went before!
Lights out. Into the unknown
gloom
From the windy, glimmering, wide
sea-room.
Challenging fate in that dark strait
We dared the hidden doom.
So through the dark We stole our
way
Past the grim warders and into the
bay,
Past Kaltbuyo and past Salinas
And came at the break of day
Where strong Cavlte stood TO oppose
Where, from a sheen Of silver and
rose,
y thronging of masts, a soaring of
towers.
The beautiful city arose.
How fine and fair, But the shining
air
With a thousand shattering thunders
there
Flapped and reeled. For the fighting
We had caught him in his lair.
Manila Bay! Manila Bay!
How proud the song on our lips to-
day.
a brave old song of the true and
strong
And the will that has its way;
OF the blood that told in the days OF
Drake
When the fight was good for the
fighting's sake!
For the blood that fathered Farragut
Is the blood that fathered Blake;
And the pride of the blood will not
be undone
While wars in the world and a fight
to be Won
For the master now, as the master OF
old,
Is the man behind the gun"
TIL dominant blood that daunts the
foe,
That laughs at odds and leaps to thc
blow
1t is Dewey's glory today, as Nelson:
A hundred years ago.

HoNoRED GUESTS.

Twelve years ago the men who are
in Pendleton today for the annual
encampment Of the Spanish war vet
Grams were in the Philippines and in
Cuba fighting in war that was
Brought ON by the American people
through a desire to end Spain's ty-
ranical rule in Cuba.
It was not a big war and it really
did not last long, Yet when the
war was started people did not know
how it would end. When the boys of
the old Second Oregon enlisted and
took the oath of service they did not
know where they would go or what
they would be called upon to do. They
We're ready though to follow the col
ors of their regiment wherever they
might be taken. They were ready
to lay down their lives, if needs be,
for the glory of their country. They
did serve the United States well. The
record made by the Second Oregon
i'll the Philippines was one of which
Oregon was justly proud at the time
and of which this state will ever be
proud.
To keep alive the comradship form
ed in the days when they chased in
surrectos through the rice fields OF
Luzon, drank water from holes where
the native buffalo wallowed and ate
what food they could find the veter-
ans have an association and meet al
fixed periods. This year the state
association has honored Pendletor
with its session and the people OF
Pendleton appreciate the presence OF
the veterans. They are the men whc
went to the front when men were
needed. For what they did they are
entitled to deep credit.
