HUMORS OF WAR
WITH SPAIN.
Americas Last Conflict Had Funny AS Well
-. As Tragic Side go.

As a Tragic Side

Lieutenant F'iske went to bed late
Hardly had he dozed off when a sound
disturbed him. He looked out port
hole and was amused to see sentry
fighting off mosquitoes with his rifle.
Then sleep was wooed again. Soon a
low moaning sound was heard. The
whole crew was aroused and tried to
locate the ghost" After an hours
search it was discovered that the
whistle cord had been tied to an avn
ing and a freshening breeze was jerk
ing it.
After this the now thoroughly tired
crew went off to sleep without diff
Guilty. But not for long. A noise like
the deck fully armed. The cattle had
broken loose and were stampeding on
the decks. The only other incident
that disturbed the night was when the
seamen on watch discovered a wine
cask and drank enough to start them
singing.
The gunboat Yorktown was parti-
cipant in a farce which was staged at
Balabac, a port in the southern part Of
the Philippines. Balabac had been quite
an important city. When the York
town reached there 1t was decided to
land 100 men and attack both from sea
and land. The sailors landed in ap-
proved military style. Skirmishers
were sent out and the little force storm
ed the CITY, The Yorktown kept its
guns trained to support the attackers.
But no support was needed. There
wasn't a person left Of the several
thousand that ordinarily lived there.
They had a.! decamped to the hills the
day before.
Another humorous naval battle
was when three American ships of the
Cuban blockading squadron spent a
day bombarding the port of Matanzas
on the north coast Of Cuba. Many hum
dreds of shells were fired. The entire
casualty list was one mule.
The volunteer regiments in camp at
Camp Thomas, Ga, were given a scare
one night by a sudden commotion and
uproar. Were Spanish spies blowing
up the camp with dynamite? Had
Spanish soldiers in disguise, attacked
them? After awhile the melee stopped
and explanations were given.
The Fifth Missouri regiment and a
New York regiment had declared
war" The Missourians, it seems, had
brought a pig from their native state
and kept it for a regimental mascot.
One evening while they were on dress
parade the New Workers sto!e the pig
and roasted it. The Missourians i'm
mediately charged the New York regi-
ment, partly wrecking the camp of the
Minnesota contingent in the rush.
