These men will form the nucleus of an Important service composed solely ot enlisted Filipinos. Rear Admiral Crownin- | shield, chief of the bureau of navigation, | believes that, besides resultiog in the government obtaining efficient service, the employment of natives will spread respect for the American flag and create a strong feeling of loyalty. Reports received from Rear Admiral Remey have shown that Americans, espe | clally those serving in the fire rooms, be- come badly debilitated and it fs necessary to send them to the United States to re- cuperate. It is belleved the health of the Filipinos will rot suffer because they are | acclimated and if they do become ill it is an easy matter for them to recover in the Philippines. No difficulty will be experi- | enced in obtaining tralned men. During the | fall of 1899 Lieutenant Commander J. V.| Coltman, now in charge of the cnlisted | men’s branch of thg burcau of navigation, opened the “Escuela nautical” or nautical | chool, to train Filipino youths to carry on | thelr inter-island commerce.

Suddenly Miss ‘ottman felt a strange, uncanny move- ment under hor feet. Again it was felt, this time so strong that the pupils looked up in terror. Stepplng to the doorway, Miss Cottman witnessed a sight that stirred her soul. The White river was out of its banks. The school bullding was already surrounded and the rising flood was swaying the school ! house. Miss Cottman instantly formed a plan of action, Across the expanse of water, tugging at his long rope, was a horse ridden by one of the pupils to the school. Springing out fearlessly into the muddy and debris-filled water, Miss Cottman waded more than waist-deep to the horse's side, then she began the struggle back, her belpless schol- ars watching her in terror and admira- tion. It was frightful at best, but when a great wavo struck the bullding, causing it to totter and break partially loose, Miss | Cottman's courage almost failed. Herole Iy, however, she pressed on, fastened the rope to the saddle and then to the bullding, giving the building the ald of the horse . strength For three quarters of an hour she stood at the horse's head and almost up to her armpits in the chilling torrent, urging the horse to tug against the current until one of the largest students waded across (o land and returned with assistance from neighbors. The children were rescued, tha building was saved. It is suggested fo- night that sume #ignal roeognition be given Miss Cottman by the comuty, but what form the testimonial will take has mot been decided.
