Admiral Schley attempted to cap ture the Colon without destroying her. Hence his orders had been given not to fire. It was a race of a swift cruiser against a heavy battleship, one manned by an. In efficinet and intoxicated crew, and the other by sober, efficient and seriousminded Americans. Captain Clarke from the Oregon finally signalled: "Strange ship looks like ah Italian in the' dis tance," referring to the Colon, for I she had been purchased by Spain r . t sitting on the edge of an 8 Inch turret, on the Brooklyn signalled back; "Tell the Oregon she can try one of those 13 inch railroad trains on her In a moment a I terrible roar; a shell burst from that gun, and almost reached the Colon, about four miles away.

VV. r r,-; The war of ,'98 was a battle Sctween a living and a dying race. As the smoke of battle cleared above Santiago it marked the final Spain; The victories at Manila Bay and Sant iago settled forever the question as to the fighting ability of out navy. It also settled forever the position of the i United States in 'he affairs of the world. From that moment America was no lon ger an isolated' nation.' but a part f the world's civilization. A new sra had dawned, and in the march of nations America took 'hei place in the foremost ranks in She shap ing of the civilization of the en Mr e world. ;Our victory earned for us the respect of all foreign aatlons, the admiration and hom- ige of the American people. It was not a war of conquest. The heroic dead who fell , in the war with Spain were but sacrifices laid tn the alTars of freedom and humanity. It was the day of reck oning ' against Spanish misrule: igainst oppression; against cruel ty, corruption and despotism. When Spain forgot the teachings of : the Nazarene, her standards -t morality were lost, and her flag in the Western hemisphere became he emblem of pillars and plunder, ier love of poetry and art, so evi dent in the years gone, before, as replaced! by lova of money; he demon of gold bad taken hold of j her very vitals.

OSK KILIJ-'I) 1X CRASH Bagdad Comments Keenly on 1925 Model Motorcars ' BAG CAD Tourists are show ing; and Increasing fondness for travelling over the desert in auto mobiles, and the, recent death of a French woman at the hands of desert marauders does not deter them. The traffic is growing, and the various cross-desert services have recorded a total of 1,000,000 miles of transit. r; " Something of a mild motor boom is beginning in Bagdad, to which the arrival of cars of recent model from- Sytla has added meas urably. New hotels are going up. one English .and one French, and better tourist business confidently la expected. Nevertheless, general business is far from satisfactory. Poverty among the working class es la acute in both town and coun try, though the advent of warmer weather has done somthlng to ameliorate conditions. Since the opening of the desert line between Syria and Mesopota mia two routes have been follow ed by. automobiles travellingbe tween : these two countries. , In leaving "Damascus , one follows straight line, through the desert to Bagdad, while the second route points slightly to the north to pass hrough Pannyra; the well known historic site, which attracts thou sands of -tourists and the comes direct to Bagdad.
