|r > ? I HUMORS | WITH SP | America's Last Conflict ^ .... As a Trs i A war produces its humor no less than its tragedy, and sometimes the dividing line between the two is so faint as to be almost unrecognizable. ^ Some wars are more humorous than others, Just as plays vary In the number of laughs they get over. In this respect our late war with Spain and the resultant Insurrection in the Philippines might be classed as Uncle Sam's funny war. It began to produce humor before a shot was flred and continued to produce long after peace was established. There is the tale of the Spanish dlplomat who was bragging about the prowess of his nation to an Englishman. The war, which the world hourly expected, would be only an outing for the Spanish army and navy, ac* cording to the enthusiast He had never visited America. The English man had. "It will be simple," he said. "We will capture a city on the seacoast somewhere, say in Georgia, land an 1 army of 30,000 or 50.000 men and march up the coast to New York, taking all the cities on our path". 1 The Englishman smiled. 4,TT " 1 ^ "I* wlcrhf hft Hnno ICS, lie 9aiu, 11 iu<eu% ??..v that is. if the police in thos/- rlous i cities didn't arrest you." Most of us can remember the flurry r of fear that manifested itself in every 1 city on the Atlantic coast when war l was a certainty. Every port wanted guns and ships to defend it. Delegations besieged President McKlnley, ' ^ asking that battleships be sent to stay in their harbors and defend their cities 1 Such a policy would have been suicidal. but still the nervous people both- ' ered every official in Washington. One 1 delegation, headed by a polltican with ' a "pull." was particularly insistent. 1 Finally President McKinley sent for < his secretary of the navy. < "Send them a ship of some kind," he ordered. So an old obsolete, useless < g monitor was manned with naval mill- < _ tiamen and sent to that port. The peo- ' pie forgot their fear under its protec- ' tlon. Fortunately no one told therr. ! that the monitor couldn't have whip- ' ped a large-sized row-boat. < W All the organized naval militia was ^ called into active service during the ' war. The New York contingent inrich men. One of them, ' a naval enthusiast, went as a common < seaman. One day several naval offl- ' cers on a warship were admiring a I fine steam yacht that was coming in < the harbor. 1 "I wonder what palace that is?" one * officer asked. "Some millionaire's, no doubt." "That's the yacht Exeter, sir," a seaman spoke up. "How can you recognize her from % here?" the officer inquired. "Because I own her and have orders for her to be here just at this time," was the reply thai astonished the officer. Colonel Roosevelt relates a story of the first day's fighting at El Caney. After the battle a number of officers . were telling their experiences. "How did you get in the fight, Roosevelt?" a regular army officer asked. * "My men were marching in columns of twos and I deployed them as skirmishers when the firing began," Col^ onel Roosevelt replied. "But," said the regular, "that can't f be done." According to parade ground ^ tactics it couldn't, "There is no order P for you to give," But Colonel Roosevelt had found an order. This is what it was: "Scatter out there now, quickly! Scatter! Some right and some left!" A similarity in the flags of two nations almost caused a tragedy just after the naval battle of Santiago. The American fleet had destroyed all the Spanish vessels, it thought, when a strange warship appeared and steamed directly toward the American fleet. It flew a red and yellow flag that looked like the Spanish ensign. The American ships immediately concluded that it was a scout ship for the fleet Spain had started toward America a rew days before. Guns were trained on the ^ . stranger and everything made ready to blow it out of the water. Fortunately it was discovered in time that the new arrival was flying the Austrian flag. One of the best laughs of the war came from Guam, a small island in the Pacific that Uncle Sam overlooked until the war was nearly over. Then Admiral Dewey was ordered to send a ship to Guam to capture it. The Char, leston sailed from Manilla to perform ^ the task. It arrived before Guam and began to bombard the hills back of the city, where, it was naturally supposed, batteries would be hidden. There was no return fire. In a few minutes a gayly decorated barge could be seen leaving the shore and heading for the Charleston. The firing was stopped. The Americans supposed the Spanish governor was coming to surrender; but the Spanish ensign, not a white flag, flew from his boat. The Spanish governor came over the side and began profuse apologies for not returning the salute. k "Salute?" the American captain asked. "Ah, yes; your beautiful salute from the big guns, instead of the little ones ordinarily used. It was superb; but + we have no powder to answer with." He had never heard that his nation and the United States were at war. A somewhat similar case was that of the Spanish gunboat Callao. It came steaming into Manilla Bay a fen days after Dewey had demolished the Spanish squadron. Admiral Dewey P sent the gunboat Petrel to meet the Callao. The Petrel fired a shot across the Callao's bow. The Callao came on. Another shot went through the Callao's rigging. It stopped and began to signal. An officer from the Olympia y j went aboard and conveyed the first news of the war to the Callao. The Spaniard had been cruising for months in the southern part of the island and knew nothing of world events. A few days after the battle of Manila Bay Lieutenant Bradley A. Fiske, navigating officer of the Petrel, was * sent with fifty men to capture the Spanish transport Manilla, which had been run on the mud flats by the Spaniards. The capture was effected without bloodshed. Thirty cows, a very welcome meat supply, were a part of the spoils. | OF WAR I AIN | Had a Funny As Well j igic Side .... | Lieutenant Flske went to bed late. Hardly had he dozed off when a sound disturbed him. He looked out a porthole and was amused to see a sentry fighting off mosquitoes with his rifle. Then sleep was wooed again. Soon a low moaning sound was heard. The whole crew was aroused and tried to locate the "ghost." After an hour's search it was discovered that the whistle cord had been tied to an awning and a freshening breeze was jerking it. After this the now thoroughly tired crew went off to sleep without difficulty. But not for long. A noise like a cavalry charge brought every man to the deck fully armed. The cattle had broken loose and were stampeding on the decks. The only other incident that disturbed the night was when the seamen on watch discovered a wine cask and drank enough to start them singing. The gunboat Yorktown was a participant in a farce which was staged at Balabac, a port in the southern part of the Philippines. Balabac had been quite an important city. When the Yorktown reached there It was decided to land 100 men and attack both from sea and land. The sailors landed in approved military style. Skirmishers svere sent out and the little force stormed the city. The Yorktown kept its guns trained to support the attackers. But no support was needed. There wasn't a person left of the several thousand that ordinarily lived there. They had all decamped to the hills the day before. Another humorous naval "battle" was when three American ships of the Cuban blockading squadron spent a day bombarding the port of Matanzas on the north coast of Cuba. Many hundreds of shells were fired. The entire casualty list was one mule. The volunteer regiments in camp at Camp Thomas, Ga., were given a scare one night by a sudden commotion and uproar. Were Spanish spies blowing up the camp with dynamite? Had Spanish soldiers in disguise, attacked them? After awhile the melee stopped and explanations were given. The Fifth Missouri regiment and a New York regiment had declared "war." The Missourians, it seems, had brought a pig from their native state and kept it for a regimental mascot. One evening while they were on dress parade the New Yorkers stole the pig and roasted it. The Missourians immediately charged the New York regiment, partly wrecking the camp of the Minnesota contingent in the rush.? Kansas City Times. WAS KNIGHTED FOR PIRACY Sir Henry Morgan waa Rewarded Instead of Punished for Buccaneering. Ho! Henry -Morgan sails today To harry the Spanish Main With a pretty bill for the Dons to pay Ere he comes back again! Sir Henry Morgan, who won a title by able work at piracy, has long since ceased to sail, and his name is only a whiQnor in th** cmith^m aoaa tnrlnv Ypt it is not wholly forgotten, as was proved the other day, when several Kansas City men announced their intention of starting on an expedition to Sabine Pass, Texas, where they believe Captain Morgan buried some gold a few centuries ago. They mean to find it by the aid of a wonderful scientific instrument that shows just where to dig for buried treasure. To return, however, to Sir Henry Morgan. He wasn't Sir Henry to begin with?just plain Henry Morgan, son of a Welsh farmer, and he ran away to sea because he didn't like to stay at home, and the sailing master with whom he sailed sold him into bondage in America at the end of the voyage, which proves the unwisdom of running ou'Qu frr^m hnmo with Bnllinf*' mnotors about whose characters you are not informed. An active lad like Henry, however, soon succeeded in getting away from the sweatty bonds of toil, escaped from Barbadoes and went to Jamaica. There he started in the buccaneering business, and eventually demonstrated what W. S. Gilbert later announced that "It is, it is a glorious thing to be a pirate king." Tou must understand that piracy, or buccaneering, as it was called, was a much more respectable calling in the seventeenth century than it is today. Spain was the natural enemy of England, and it was considered perfectly good form to rob and murder a Spaniard wherever you found him, whether England happened to be officially at war with Spain or not. There might be times of peace between His Most Catholic Majesty and the King of England on the other side of the Atlantic, but in America the two nations were always at war. Henry Morgan, after a trip or two on other men's ships and thriftily saving his share of the booty, went in with a number of other ambitious young pirates and bought a ship of his own. He was elected captain, and from that day on Henry Morgan continued to be captain of every expedition he attended. His first big success came at. Porto Doll" Dak?a DoIIa m-oo q Inrcro Cnnniuh town in Panama, whence the treasure ships sailed every year for Spain. It was strongly fortified by two castles, one on either side of the harbor mouth, and had it been prepared, would have been almost impossible to capture. But Morgan took the place by surprise. When he left Jamaica with a fleet of the small ships carrying 460 ruffians of assorted races, he did not tell even his captains where he was going. A secret wasn't a secret if more than one man knew it, the astute captain believed. Not until the coast of Central America was reached did he pass around the word that Porto Bello was to be taken. The ships themselves were left in a harbor some miles from Porto Bello, and, under cover of dusk, the pirates moved stealthily upon the doomed town in long boats and canoes. At midnight, when no human sound disturbed the chorus of the southern jungle, they reached Porto Bello. They seized a Spanish sentry?so swiftly and so effectually did they gag him that he had no chance to cry out or to fire his flintlock. Brandishing their long knives they made him describe to them all the defenses of the city. Then the pirates I surrounded one of the castles which guarded the town and commanded the garrison to surrender, lest they should every one be put to death. The Spaniards replied with a volley and the fight began. In a short time Morgan's men had battered down the defenses and were swarming through the castle. All the Spanish officers who were not slain at once were shut up In one great room and then the powder magazine was fired. Not a Spaniard escaped. But this was only one of many castles. The fighting continued from dawn .to noon of the next day. The Spaniards defended themselves gallantly. When Morgan's men tried to set fire to the doors of their castles, they hurled down great stones and home-made bombs, earthen jars packed with powder. The governor of the town commanded the last castle that fell. Morgan tried time and again to take it; then he had great ladders built, so wide that three or four men could scale a ladder at once. These he forced J U ~ A lite nuns unu iiiuuns wiiuiii uc nuu i.aptured in Porto Bello to drag up and place against the wail. He did not believe the Spanish governor would kill these people. But the old Spanish governor was as lion-hearted a fighter as Henry Morgan himself. He killed the monks and nuns unhesitatingly, rather than slack his defense. They called to him piteously begging him to surrender and save .their lives and his own. He only ordered the firing to be redoubled. But at last the ladders were placed, with tumbled heaps of priests and nuns nrone at their feet. "Then the pirates," runs an old account written by one of the pirates himself, "mounted in great number, and with not less valor, having fireballs In their hands $nd earthern pots full of powder; all which things, being now at the top of the walls, they kindled and cast in among the Spaniards. "This effort of the pirates was very great, insomuch that the Spaniards could no longer resist nor defend the castle, which was now entered. Hereupon they all threw down their arms and craved quarter for their lives; only the governor of the city would crave no mercy, but killed many of the pirates with his own hands, and not a few of his own soldiers, because they did not stand to their arms. And. though the pirates asked him If he would have quarter, yet he constantly answered, 'By no means. I had rather die as a valiant soldier than be hanged as a coward.' They endeavored as much as they could to take him prisoner, but he derenaea nimsen so oDsunaieiy mai they were forced to kill him, notwithstanding all the cries and tears of his own wife and daughter, who begged him on their knees to demand quarter and save his life." Don C. Seltz has described his death in "The Buccaneers." With blade at throat and pistol at heart The proud old governor stands, Rather to die than yield his sword To such scoundrelly outlaw hands. Wife at right and daughter at left, Their pleadings are in vain? Mercy's not the buccaneer's creed; He tumbles with the slain. And thus fell Porto Bello. The pirates occupied the town for several weeks, stripped it of every scrap of loot and made the citizens pay a ransom of 100,000 pieces of eight before they would leave. When the governor ^yf ^"anama sent out a force of Spanish soldiers to drive Morgan and his men away the pirates, instead of fleeing to their ships, as every one supposed they would, went out to meet the soldiers, defeated them and drove them back to Panama. Morgan sent word to the governor of Panama that he would pay his town a visit within a year. As a matter of fact, it was three years before he made good his boast. The capture of Panama was a far more remarkable achievement than that of Porto Bello. For Morgan and his men marched nine days through tropical Jungles before they reached the city. Most of the time they had no food, for the Spaniards, who knew they were coming, drove every cow out of the country and burned or carried away every sack of grain. So reduced were Morgan's men that they ate strips of rawhide bags, softening the leather by The Snnninrds had nlentiful warning moistening- it and pounding it between stones, then broiling It like bacon, of their coming, and made elaborate preparation for defense outside the city of Panama; Indians aided them and drove wild bulls against the English buccaneers, thinking to break their ranks. Morgan's men laughed and killed the bulls, and were glad to have their meat for food. John Esquemeling, an old pirate who was with Morgan and who wrote a book to which we are indebted for most of what we know of this prince of buccaneers, tells of that feat. The pirates hacked out great chunks of meat and threw them into the camp fire they had kindled; then, when the meat was charred outside and still raw within, they fished it out and devoured it. "Such was their hunger," writes Esquemeilng, "as they more resembled cannibals than Europeans; the blood many times running down from their beards to their waists." Thus nourished and encouraged they swept into Panama, a ravening pack, and scattered far such of its defenders as they did not slay. They stayed there a month, and burned the city and carried away everything movable, and sent out ships to ravage the nearby towns on the Pacific coast. Now, this attack had been made just after England had concluded peace with Spain, and as Morgan bore the title, bestowed on him by the British governor of Jamaica, of "Commanderin-Chief of all the ships of war in Jamaica," Spain demanded that he be brought to punishment. He was sent to England in 1672 aboard a British frigate, but he took along enough pirate gold to smooth his way at court, and instead of being punished he was knighted and returned to Jamaica as lieutenant governor. That marked the end of Morgan's days of active piracy. He continued as a servant of the British governor of Jamaica. Great were the rewards in those thrilling days.? Kansas City Star.
