FAMOVS SAYINGS OF THE WAR.
The war with Spam has brought
forth a large number of epigrammatic
sayings which are certain to be
come famaus in our history, says the
Salem Statesman. Our American
authors have produced epigrams
which have found a permanent rest
ing place in literature, but the Amer
ican soldier and sailor is not far be
hind, and their sayings make it evi
dent that the defenders of the Stars
and Stripes are scholars as well as
fighters. The sayings of our men at
the front form a condensed but com
plete history of the war, which is as
unique as it is an honor to the men
and to the country. Uttered on the
spur of the moment and in the heat
of battle, many of them show the
culture ot the finished scholar, and
every one is thrilling to the extreme.
At what might be called the real
beginning of the war, when the
Maine was blown up in Havana har
bor, "Bill" Anthony's report to Cap
tain Sigsbee is an inspiring epigram
for a starter. Immediately after the
explosion, when an ordinary man
would have been thinking of safety,
Bill," Anthony stepped up to Cap
tain Sigsbee as the latter rushed out
of his cabin, and saluting him said,
"I have to report, sir, that the ship
has been blown up and is sinking."
That saying shpws the coolness and
discipline of the American sailor
which has been responsible for the
winning ot our great victories on the
sea. Then came Captain Sigsbee's
"I ask that the American people sus
pend judgment," which probably
saved this country from rushing into
a war for which we were poorly pre
pared. "We will make Spanish ihe
court language in Hades," declared
"Fighting Bob" Evans, of thu battle
ship Iowa, when war was declared,
and in that he expressed tbe senti
ments of ihe people. Then came
that wonderful message from Cap
tain Clark, of the battleship Oregon,
on the way around the Horn on the
most daring voyage ever attempted
by a battleship: '-Don't hamper me
with instructsons; I am not afraid of
the entire Spanish fleet." Captain
Clark expressed great faith in the
Oregon when he sent that cablegram,
but subsequent events have proved
that he knew what he was talking
about.
"You can fire when you are ready,
Gridlej ," said Dewej', and that was
the signal for tbe opening of the bat
tle of Manila, the greatest naval en
gagement in history; and a few hours
later that old hero demonstiated how
cool he was by signalling: "Twenty
minutes for breakfast." Think of a
commander ordering his vessels to
withdraw and take twenty minutes
for breakfast. A few days later
when Captain Gridley lay on his
death bed, his dying words were:
"The battle of Manila killed me; but
I would do it again." "Don't get
between my guns and the enemj',"
was Dewe3''s signal to the fleet of
Germany when it arrived at Manila,
and not long after he said to the Ger
man admiral: "1 want to know
whether your country is at war with
mine or not; if Germany is not at
war with the United States you will
Lave to move." "There must be no
more recall ; iron will break at last," re
plied Ilobson when Sampson signalled
that he must delay his trip into the
mouth of the harbor with the collier
Merrimac.
Colonel Wood, of the Rough Rid
ers, yelled at his men in the first
charge at Santiago: "Don't swear,
boys, fight," and a moment later
Captain Catron at tbe head of his
charging company exclaimed when
he was shot down and the troop mo
mentarily stopped : "Don't mind me,
boys, go on fighting." About that
time General Alger asked General
Corbin what the news from the front
was, and the reply was : "Shatter is
fighting, not writing." "I've got
them now and they'll never get
home," reported Commodore Sch.'ey
to tbe government when he discover
ed Admiral Cervera and bis fleet at
Santiago, and he kept his word.
"Afraid I'll strain my guns at long
range; I'll close in," signalled Lieut.
Wain wright of the plucky little Glou
cester, when in answer to Schley's
signal to withdraw, he steamed in
and engaged two torpedo boat de
stroyers. And then came Captain
Philip's remark on the Texas: "Don't
cheer; the poor devils are dying,"
and at tbe close of the battle tbe re
mark by the same man: "I want to
make public acknowledgment that I
believe in God the Father Almighty."
Then at the conclusion of the de
struction of Cervera's fleet Lieut.
Wainwright said: "The Maine is
avenged."
These are not all but they are the
most popularly known, and from the
beginning to the end of the war the
history in epigrams is complete.
Just as Grant's: "I will fight it out
on this line if it takes all summer," is
known by every school boy and girl,
so will these sayings of the heroes of
this war be handed down to posterity.
"You can trust the United States,"
was Consul-General Wildman's reply
to the insurgent chief Aguinaldo,
when the latter wanted to know
whether he was fighting for protec
tion, annexation or independence,
and it is a fitting climax for them all.
Many histories of the- American
Spanish war of 1898 will come from
the pens of great literary giants, but
no history will be as stirring and as
representative of the truth as that
furnished by the sayings of the men
who commanded, and the men who
stood behind the American guns.
Pereons troubled with diarhoea will
be interested in the experience of W. M.
Busb, clerk of the hotel Dorrance, Prov
idence, K. I. He says: "For several
years 1 have been almost a constant suf
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at this
hotel. About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera end
Diarhoea Remedy. Much to my sur
prise and delight its effects were imme
diate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the
disease I would fortify myself against
the attack with a few doses of this val
ueabla remedy. The reeult has been
very satisfactory and almost complete
relief from the affliction." For sale by
