and red flag of Spain swapping defiant
ly from her tack-staff, appear from be-
hind the hills. and then, as n panther
dashes from a cave in the mouth OF

turned to the right and dashed into
the open sea.
1t seemed an age. but 1t was not
more than few seconds, when ter
rifle roar shook the waters, and a
burst of fame and gases rolled from
turret of one of the American ships.
Holton marked the course of the
great thirteen-inch shell, saw the
great, dark shape dart with lightning
speed toward the Vizcaya. saw it hur-
tie over the deck, ricochet on the wa
ter. and explode in the woods beyond.
Then the earth shook with fearful
noise.
From all the American ships. and
from those of the Spaniards. great
guns vomited forth their messengers
of death and destruction. The sky
grew dark. and yellowish pail set
tied upon the sea.
AS Holton stood tense, following the
combat us in a trance, he heard a tre-
mendous explosion, and saw the Ma
rie Theresa list sharply. and then saw
her turn in toward the land. where she
soon grounded. He could see men
clinging to her decks.
1t was clear that the American ves-
sells were overhauling the enemy's
ships. although Holton had under
stood that, as regards speed. our ves-
sells were inferior. The discharge of
guns was incessant Almost directly
beneath him he saw two Spanish de-
stroyers disengage themselves from
the larger vessels and swing about.

How you hated them. how you fought

committee. The usual course has
been to start the bill in the House,

hat 1t must decide the legislation this
session and might as well start things
off right.
The short appropriation bill is
passed to enable state departments to
operate until all appropriation bills
lave been passed and the long appro-
oriation bill is drawn up. The short
appropriation bill. therefore. covers
,ne-sixth of the biennial period, the
ong appropriation twenty months.
Appropriations for the various de-
