e leu Honolulu June 4, after a
most hospitable reception. Our voy.
age han U-en very eventful since thai
lime. Soon after leaving, the sealed
orders Lrought by the mail steamer
were opened and it wan lound that
we were ordered to the Ladrone In
lands about 12iK) miles this side of
Manila. It apiwars that there is a
Spanish coaling station and also a
lenal settlement. There are also ten
smai; wooden gunboats in thone wat
ers which the Charleston, will take
care of. It Is also said that the 2d
batallion will be left there for garri
son duty which I don't like so well.
We, that's all the Washington
county lioyn are well and our chief
trouble is getting enough to eat. This
sea air giv. un all good appetites.
Iulien on hoard are usually nominal.
Many of Him boyn sleep on deck but
I have'nt deserted my bunk below
yet. Keveille comes at 6:30 a in
when we must be up and have our
bunks fixed ready for Inspection at
J a m. 1 lien comes roll call anil at
7 a m entree and biscuits. Breakfast
in at 10 a m and in pretty fair grub.
SupMT in at ft p m anil retreat sounds
almut (1 30 or Huunft. Darkness falls
very soon alter sunset and in an hour
from the last sight of the sun all is
dark as midnight.
I have to go on guard atxiut once
a week. I have two hours on and
four hours off and can't leave the
guard house or take tiff my licit
without permission. We go on guard
at 10 a m and stand guard for twenty
four hours. The next morning after
being relieved, police duty is the or
der of the day, w have to clean up
la low and do ail the liltle jolw to
ward keeping the ship clem. There
is a hath tub rigged up amidxhip and
all have lo bathe twice week. It
isn l any tianlslnp to do thin as the
air and water are so warm. Hut
thin is a sleepy life, in fact the w hole
crew went to bed last Thursday nignt
and didn't get up until Saturday
morning. You see, we crossed the
meridian of IsO" west longitude that
tiny and so lost a day. Coming the
tither way we shall have two days
the same in one week.
It isju.it a month now slice I was
mu-tcred into I'ncle Sam'a service
and I don't regret it so far.
It i-' said we will heat (iuam, the
chief of the Ijtdmiies by Sunday
night or Monday morning. We
could get there before then but our
speed is the lowest, only about nine
knots an hour.
This Is a very unfrequented part of
the tst an as we havent sighted a K it
since having Honolulu.
June it. -Well, we have met with
our tir-t victory,
morning the island
along over the water and crashing in
to the tn.i.sonery aoon chatted their
mind. The transports were then
signalled to iiiu inside and we cast
anchor not half a uiile from the cliff
but four wile from the landing
place. The governor wan absent at
the time but a message wan aent to
him to surrender. As he waa rather
low about it, companies A and D
and details from other companies and
the marines from the Charleston
started on a Is sit expedition to bring
him to his senses. The Charleston
steam launch led Before they were
half way to land a boat came off
bearing a w hite Dig and the govern
or' submission. Many of the officers
went on shore in the ships boats and
got fruit, but not many of the pri
vates got that permiss'on.
There were about sixty Spanish sol
diersautl a hundred natives. The
Spanfsll soldiers are now prisoners ou
hoard the Sydney and an American
residing there was appointed govern
or. 1 here In no love between the
natives and the Spaniards, so they
all welcomed the coming of the "Am
ericanos." The Pekin transferred
some of their coal to the Charleston
and yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock
we recrossed the bar, bound for Man
ila. We found none of the convic's
or coal that win said to be there.
The people there had not heard of
the war as they only got mail about
once in two months unless a stray
trading vessel or whaler comes in
port. The last news they had of the
outside world was April tf.
Guam was at onetime a port of
considerable call to the whalers but
now not many ships call there ex
cept a line of trading ships to Japan.
One of these vessels lay in harbor
when we were there.
We are now on the deep and lu-
side of a week expect to be in Manila.
Off Luzon, June 2tf. We are n ear
ing our destination after Ave weeks
of ocean travel. The appointed ren-
lecvous wan sighted yesterday morn
ing and in (he afternoon the long ex
pectad dispatch boat came out. It
was the Baltimore with the scars of
battle still with her. She had been
waiting for us nine days. We were
behind time owing to the stop at
Ouam and the slow speed mi! ti
ed from Honolulu. We !."ive !.er
three cheers and three mi re he.' re
she left us to report our coming to
iJewey.
This morning is the roughest yet,
but the boys are all well seasoned
now and scorn seasickness. There
han not been much sickness on board
and but one death in the expedition.
This was a member of company M.
on board the Sydney. He wan suffer
ing from appendicitis, was operated
on but died just outside the harbor of

Aboard Australia, June y, liK
We had good weather all i f the
way after we left Honolulu and did
not see land until we reached the
Ladrone Inlands. The Charleston
went into the harbor and captured
the island. They fired a shot at the
fort that the Spaniards had there. It
was occupied by three or four native
soldiers. They thought that the
Charleston wan friendly did sot
know that war had-been declared, o
they got ready to fire a salute. S hi n
the Charleston commenced to give
them some lead they got their eyes
open and went scrambling out with
out firing a shot. Then the trans
ports steamed up into the harbor
and lay there until next mom in,'.
By that time they bad found "out
that there were fifty Spanish soldiers
with guns and ammunition. We t r
dered the Spanish governor to come
aboard the Charleston and make a
surrender, but he said that he would
not do it, because it was against the
Spanish law for him to put his foot
on American soil or a I . n. snip.
He told un to come ashore to make
the arrangements. S i we got ti iwn
the boats and with two or three
hundred men started ashore to see
what we could do with them. About
the time we got half way there the
governor came out aud met us with
a big white flag and made a surren
der. They put him on hoard the
Charleston and the soldiers on tlx
Pekin.
When the Charleston went into
the harbor, the town did not know
it an it Tk as behind a ridge and when
they heard (be guns they did uot
know hut what the world was com
ing to an end. The town that was
made up of natives, could see the
whole thing and were nearly scared
to death, thitu at night the Charles
ton turned her searchlight un theiu
and again scattered their wits around
over the country.
After we left there we did not sec
anything to make an excitement un
til yesterday when we saw the smoke
of a steamer toward our right. The
Charleston struck out after her and
the transports lined up aud followed.

The amazing progress of ihe Iron
in lusiry may uot be wholly appreci
ated. It in nut so much that we are
doing more in one industry than we
have ever done. That is to be ex
pected every year when democrat.
I i not prosirrle American industries
Bat Ihe increase of product iou over
any previous year is surprising, for
we have not merely produced more
iron than in auy other year,
moie but more by over half a mll
llou tons or lu per cent. Nor is this
accidental. It Is not the sort of thing
which may appear oue year and not
again, lor 1 lie American output of
iron is not only larger lhau that of
ny oilier country, but It is certain to
remsiii larger.
Comparison with Great Britain is
out of date, for this country passed
the mother country years ago in the
manufacture of Iron, and no other
natiou has ever appnmched either. Io
dManciug itself, America dliiiut
the world There is nothing to lie
said of an output amounting to near
ly one milliou tons per month, ex
tvpting that no other country has
come any where near it, and theie is
milling to lie said of the consumpt
ion in manufacture except that uo
oilier country has approached it
" Hundred thousand tons
per month. The Uuited Stales not
only leads the world In this manufac-
iuir, iiui snows useu superior over
other couutries in securing the most
valuable contracts that Hussla and
Jaan have placed for armor plates
and rails and other manufactures.
he ifuasrans want rails In order to
cross Siberia; the Japanese want rails
in order to economize the move
ment of products in their wonderful
ly productive country. Both want
American products for self-defense.
But the American works which help
them to self defense, as their contract
show, better than the work of any
other country are able to surpass that
work in filling contracts f ir the Unit
ed Stales. We shall not find better ar
mor plates anywhere else than in the
United States, coming from Ameri
can woras, uor snail we nnd anv
where else cheaper material for ships
r railroads.
It is easy to say, as many men do,
that the superiorly of the Uuited
Males in this particular matter Is a
natural result of its advantages in
supply of the raw materials. The
reasoning is somewhat logical. But
what is to be said of the expansion
in cotton manufacture, this country
having a practical monopoly of the
world's markets in cotton? What is
to be said of the woolen manufacture
this country having enough wool to
provide for its own consumption and
ar more thtn any other country pro
luces, being not obliged to rely upon
;he altogether uncertain yield of
Australia? What cau Great Britain
expect, relying upon the product of
South America or South Africa for its
woolen industry? Or what is to be
said of the copper manufacture in
other countries the Uuited States
supplying the world with over two-
thirds of its material? What Is to be
said of ihe lead manufacture, the
United States having for many years
produced more than it requires for
iM own consumption?
The truth Is that must Americana
1 1 not yet understand the magulQ-
it resources of their own couutry.
'.e United States has shown that it
. an beat the world In food products.
-i-uding more than four hundred mil

Paget look ed ou impassively. Fin
ally came the great rush to the crest
of the hill against a position which
ought to have beeu capable of sweep
ing them all back Into the sea, and
he saw them at last occupying that
position, completely victorious. He
lowered his spyglass and clooed it
anappily, and turning said with im
mense solemnity : "By God, gentle
men, this has been a great day for
Anglo-Saxons. There hat leeii noth

An old word, almost obsolete, has
within a fortnight been revived. Ii
is "round-robin" meaning a ti
tion the signatures of to which are
arranged in a circle about the suhje-t
matter of the prayer so as to make
the signers equally responsible for
preferring the request, that in no sig
nature oould be designated as first or
none as last. The round-robin that

War has its humorous as well
pathetic aide. It looks a little strange
and odd that the United States
should enter Into a contract involv
ing more than half a million of dol
lars with the citizens of a nation with
whom we are at war- And the fur
tber fact that this iioor weak nation
has ships enough flying her fltg
make a bid for the carrying of some
24,000 prisoners home, while the
great Yankee nation did not secure
a single tender from its own citizens
owing to the fact that it is to poor to
own a merchant marine. Would
not be a good plan to let pioteclion
protect American shi, ping for
while. Sheridan Sun.

nounced eipansionist says it will
never do to let the Philippine I
lands go back to Spain. He suggests
that public meetings be held in every
neighborhood center at which resolu

have great weight and the idea is
good one.
