Purpose of the Landing. In the dispatches from Madrid the state- ment was made that Commodore Dewey effected a landing on the west side of Ma- nila bay for the men of his fleet who were wounded in the engagement. It was sug- B. Siegert & Sous, and] gested in official circles that this landing had a two-fold purpose. It was not only that the wounded might have better care than they could receive on shipboard, in the ce of other probable engagements, but iso to carcy out what was known to be Commodore Dewey’s purpose to effect a junction with the insurgents as soon as possible. The insurgent forces practically surround Manila on the land sides of the eity, and with the intention of securing ccntrol of Manila as soon as possible, Com- iiy located from day to day, may be poder Dewey was to obtain a footing on obtained at The Star office. at the earliest practicable ment. shows the authorities at promptness. it fully understood that purpose from the outset has been to ob- serve the strictest neutrality between the United States and Spain.

The rainy sea- son has been responsible for a deal of in- convenience through the rising of rivers. From Palapye thére are no bridges fin- ished, and the‘line§ are laid in the bed of the river. Crdssi the Shashi river has been a novelty in railway traveling, there being nearly four feet of water in the river, which made it impossible for the engine fires to be kept alight. Hence the expedi- ent adopted was to make up a train—pas- sengers and ual to the length of the river, and push it across, while on the other side were two engines ready to pull it out. When the river Is only about a foot deep the engine takes the train through. The traveler must provide himself with a good supply of food, as the refreshment rooms are few and far between, and then they are unsatisfactory. Once the bridges are finished and more refreshment rooms added traveling up north no doubt will be accomplished in half the time and in com- parative ease; meantime it is much better than in the old coaching days, —_+o+—____ The peculiarity: of a cork leg: is that be gra from the name there isn’t a vestige cork about it.
