Il hesitated for time, disliking the
Idea Of having to give up my coffee, but

Holton's crew had been augmented
by four extra seamen, sent to him from

Colts strapped about their waists.
Toward midnight most Of the noise,

kled Holton - he slipped on his uni
form coat over . marines drab shirt
and prepared to visit the hotel.
Life at the hotel was made moro
brilliant by the arrival OF shafter and
his star. but Holton, who had had all
the brilliancy and inactivity he want
ed. found himself praying fervently for
orders that would send him out a.
omcer on one Of the vessels Of Ad.
miral sampson's North Atlantic
Squadron. But no such orders came,
and Holton had just about attuned his
mind to q weary grind to last at least
several months longer. when some
thing occurred to chanNe very materi-
ally the attitude Of the government in
regard to the movement Of the Troops
as Tampa.
In. short, Admiral Sampson cabled
<h0t al
the Atlantic ocean and Caribbean sea.
Admiral Cervera and his squadron
Of battleships and cruisers were bot
tied up in Santiago. He could not at
tack them because Of the forts and
mines, and he requested that troops
be sent at once to cooperate with the
navy from the land side.
It was then that the Secretary of
War wired General Shafter to proceed
forthwith to Cuba.
Flat-cars laden with General Ran
dolph's artillery. rumbled down the
slip. and the guns were hoisted into
yawning ports In the sides Of the trans
ports; provisions, supplies Of all sorts
bore them company. and no one doubt
ed any longer that at last the army
had received its bid to the field Of bat
tie.
A new strain was put upon Holton.
for now, If at any time. attempts at tho
destruction Of the transports would be
made. there being no secrecy what
ever as to the intentions Of the United
States government. Then arrived the
day when the boys in blue came In

Perhaps the most candid criticism

by king himself. There is that story
Of George III. who, leaving the lords
after opening parliament, turned to
his lord chancellor with the remark:
Lord chancellor, did deliver the
speech well?"
Every well indeed, SIR" was the re-
ply.
Il am glad of that" said the king,
"for there was nothing in it,"
George II, too. did not always feel
himself bound to praise his minister's
efforts. In 1856, for instance, when a
spurious speech was circulated, he
pleaded for mercy for the printers of
it, because, he said, he had compared
the spurious with the real, and, so far
as he could understand either, he "in-
finitely preferred the former to his
