An incident of the Spanish-American
war which for 14 years had been a pro
found mystery came to light last night,
when nearly 200 veterans gathered
around a banquet board in the Subway
Cafeteria to celebrate the 14th anni
versary of. the battle of Manila. All of
those present had told of various hap
penings. In .whlehthey had takers a
part," when C8Plrn"'vVTIIIam Oaffaby of
the Second Oregon started his tale
which ended in a complete solution of
a 14-year-old mystery.
"While in Manila," said Captain Gads
by, "several of the members of my
company discovered a large cask of
choice ,jvlne8 and liquors. Our com
manding officer when he heard of. the
find, ordered the cask taken to the hos
pital for the use of the patients. I
was given charge of the guard to tske
It where the commanding officer had
directed. First I saw that the catik
was securely padlocked. It was out of
my sight for a short time and when 1
next paw the cask the thing was empty,
although the locks were still Intact Of
course, the patients at the hospital never
got a drop.
"Later the owner of the liquor, an old
Spanish, started suit against the gov
ernment for the cask, and congress start
ed aq Investigation. The matter was
finally settled, but the disappearance
mystery has not been solved."
"Kred Bohn, also of the Second Oregon
and one of tha members of the guard
that was to have taken the cask to the
hospital. Jumped to his feet. "I can
not tell a lie. It Is a mystery no long
er," he ssm. "i aia u witn my little
hammer. It was quite a simple matter
to pry off the staples, extract the wine,
and then return the staples without dis
turbing tha lock."
The story and the confession brought
forth many hearty laughs. A committee
consisting of "Duke" Salisbury, Geo. Mc
Cerd and II. Wells had charge of the
affair. IV". B. D. Dodson, of the Second
Oregon, was master of ceremonies
