THE MARINE CORPS
One Hundred Years of Peerless
Bravery and Heroism.
CENTENNIAL DAT APPR0ACHIN8
Brief Resume of lis Ever Satisfac
tory Accomplishments.
A BRILLIANT RECORD
The peerless heroirm shown by the
United States Marine Corps in the face of
aimost overwhelming cdds at Guantanamo,
where they mads the first landing of Amer
ican troops in Cuba and raised the first
American flair o\er Spanish soil, only adds
another dazzling page to its already bril
liant history. It Is peculiarly appropriate
that this most recent proof of the un
daunted courage and magnificent manhood
of the officers and mer. cf the corps should
be given at this time, as it is approaching
the close of its one hundredth year, the
centennial anniversary of its organization
as a corps falling on July 11.
In view of its recent achievements it is
generally hoped that the government will
publicly acknowledge this occurrence in
seme distinct and marked manner, and it
is believed that an executive or depart
mental ord?r reciting its services would be
an appropriate i.-.eans for this recognition,
its services have certainly been illustrious
Every war in which the United States has
|^en engag?d has shown the superiority of
the corps to meet and overcome apparently
insurmountable obstacles, and its magnifi
cent discipline has met every test and ear-a
demand.
Heroism In Tripoli.
During the war with Tripoli, February
lt>. 18tM. when the gallant Decatur in the
ketch Intrepid eiltered the harbor of Trip
oli filled with cruisers, gunboats and gal
leys and surrounded by forts and batteries
and assaulted and burned the Philadelphia,
which the Tripolitans had captured from
us the year before, the roll of honor of
the volunteers for that hazardous expedl
tion included eight marines, a sergeant, a
corporal, and six privates. Later, in Au
gust, 1n>4, When the desperate fighting
which accompanied the beginning of the
bombardment of Tripoli was in progress
Decatur boarded a Tripoiitan gunboat and
engaged its captain in hand-to-hand com
oat. hiie the leaders were thus fighting
an enemy raised his sword to cleave Deca
tur s skull, when a marine interposed his
arm and saved his commander's life at the
cost of that member.
.k". -a!so durir-g the Tripoiitan war
that the first American flag was raised
upon an old world fortress, and a marine,
Lieut. O Cannon, did it. This was at Derne
upon its capture by the forces under com
mand of General Eaton.
The Florida and Mexican Wars.
When the Indian war in Florida broke out
in 1836 and the disposable portion of the
aimy was inadequate to stop the Indians
ravages of the country. Colonel Command
ant Archibald Henderson of the marines
volunteered the services of himself and all
marines stationed at the different navy
yards, and they were accepted. All through
the war the marines did valiant service,
and v.ere constantly complimented by Gen
era! Jessup. In the Mexican war the ma
rines again performed rervlce that were
conspicuous, while it would require a vol
ume to recount their heroic deeds during
the civil war. They assisted in the cap
ture by boarding her of the confederate
privateer Judah; they were with present
Rear Admiral ??~^mes E. Jouett when he
destroyed the Royal Yacht. In the deadly
duel between the Merrimac and the Cum
berland the last shot fired at the Merrimac
was by the division of marines on the
Cumberland, commanded by Lieutenant
Charles Heywood. now the colonel com
mandant of the corps, and the first shot
from the Merrimac killed nine of his ma
rines. At Fcrt Sumter. Mobile Bay, every
where the navy was "engaged during the
war the Marine Corps showed its courage
and discipline and its ardent desire to ever
be in the hottest part of a fight.
Since the War.
After the war, in countless instances, the
corps proved its value and efficiency. In
Corea. at the great fire in Boston and in
other Instances it kept up its record. This
was particularly the case during the revo
lution on the Isthmus of Panama In 1885.
In accordance with the treaty of 1848, the
United States guarantees protection to
travel across the isthmus. During the
trouble the railroad was obstructed and
traffic prevented. Rear Admiral Jouett
then in command of the North Atlantic
squadron, proceeded to th? scene, and April
11. 188o. a battalion of murines, under com
mand of Lieut. Col. Heywood, the present
commandant, arrived at Aspinwall ? rnd
were immediately ordered to Panama to
protect Americans there. At 6 o'clock the
same night Col. Heywood and his men
were at Panama, 47Vi miles distant, and
transit across the Isthmus was opened.
In the face of this glorious record, the
Marine Corps has been the object of jeal
ousy and envy, and in some Instances
downright hatred on the part of navy and
army officers.
Sumpxon's Singular Silence.
Despite the glorious heroism shown at
Guantanamo by the marines under Lieuten
ant Colonel Huntington, Captain Elliott
and Lieutenants Newell, Shaw and Brucli,
which the newspaper correspondents have
described in such high terms, no official
recognition of it has been made by Ad
miral Sampson, and while this has occa
sioned universal remark, the reason Is not
far to se'ek. He is an avowed and bitter
opponent of the marine corps. This will
doubtless seem remarkable when the
achievements of the corps are considered,
but it is true, and many other naval offi
cers cherish the same sentiments. The
majority of naval men, however, are earn
est admirers of the marines and hold "views
Identical with those of the late Admiral
David D. Porter, which will be found fur
ther on.
Sailor* and Marines.
Between the bluejackets and the marines
there is little lovo lost. The marines love
to deb the sailors "flat foots," while the
sailors return the compliment by contempt
uously regarding the others as "land lub
bers." Probably the intense feeling on the
part of the sailors is that the marines do
not have to help in coaling ship or the
other hard work and do not conceal their
glee at seeing the bluejackets sweating un
der such duties. Then, again, the sailor*
remember many ebullitions of discontent
among themselves, sometimes narrowly bor
dering on mutiny, which the marines have
promptly subdued. And thex are also jeal
ous of the superiority of the marines at gun
practice. It is an established fact, shown
by the records In the Navy Department
but sedulously kept from public notice, that
whenever the marines have been placed at
the big guns of a war vessel Its target
practice record has shows a wonderful In
crease in efficiency.
. T5f n""?*'8 are superior to the sailors
In discipline and as land tightens for the
reason that they are thoroughly drilled
ana trained and given long nsactice in
shooting before they are put In service
afloat. I,ast year the marines at the Wash
ington barracks developed wonderful skill
at the long-distance rifle ranges at Ordway
under the instruction of Cant. M C flnoH.
rell and GoodrsU and all these men were
at Guantanamo.
Admiral Porter's Tribate.
Therj have been many attempts by It*
enemies to abolish the marina corps, and
one of particular bitterness was made In
IStE, when it v as proposed to make It a
part of the army, and legislation to that ef
fect was Introduced In Congress. Major W.
B. Slack of the marina corps antago
nized this movement, and wrote to many
nsval officers for their opinions. Admiral
(then Acting Rear Admiral) David D Por
to, Slack, wrote Jan
n? u! . ' teing then in command of
the Mississippi squadron, as followa
c.0">rounlcatlon." wrote Admiral
Decwnber 10 has been received,
and In answer I beg ieav* to mv that t
would consider it a great calamity it tha
marine should be abolished or turned over
to the army.
"In its organization It should be naval al
together. A ship without marines la no
ship of war at all.
"The past efficiency of our marinj corps
fills one of the brightest pages in the his
tory of our country, and the man who pro
pcses such a measure cannot know much
about the service or Is demented.
"When thjy take away the marines from
the navy they had better lay up all large
1 vessels.
"I wish any one could see the difference
between the marines out here and the peo
! pie they call soldiers; they would not talk
; of abolishing the corps. I can only say,
God forbid it should come to pass."
Another Letter From Porter.
Some stress has been laid by opponents of
the corps on the strictures Admiral Porter
made upon the conduct of the marines at
the attack on Fort Fi3her. It will be seen
from the following letter, of Admiral Por
ter that their fault was that they were too
anxious to lead the attack before all others.
It Is a complete reply to the strictures al
luded to. It was written on the flagship
Malvern of the North Atlantic squadron.
Cape Fear river, February 4, 1805, and Is
in full as follows:
"My Dear Slack?I received your kind let
ter of the 23d ult.," and thank you for your
congratulations. I assure you that I attach
no Importance to the silly articles that ap
peared in some Philadelphia papers, though
I was sorry to sec it on account of the
corps which might be supposed, from what
the writer says, to entertain the same sen
timents. I do not think it was written by
an officer, though I may be mistaken. My
sentiments toward ths Marine Corps are
too well known for any one to accuse me of
maligning it. What I said I should have
said of the sailors or naval officers, which I
believe you will And in my special report of
officers. I have done full justice to Daw
son. Walace, etc., who were all In the front,
and, indeed, were so eager for distinction
that I am afraid they pushed ahead with
out looking to see whether the marines
were coming up. Now. that Is all very well
to push ahead, but the officers should al
ways stay with their men, who are mere
machines, after all, and want to be told
what to do. Officers should never look for
personal distinction at the risk of destroy
ing a combination that would likely prove
successful. Marines are just as good as
any other men (and should be better) and
Will no doubt go anywhere they are told to.
"I must confess that was a hot place
they were going Into; still it would have
been a great event to have it said that the
sailors and marines carried the fort. My
p!an was a good one, and I am grieved
that it was not carried out. Our assault
(unsuccessful as it was) was the cause of
our triumph after all. The rebels had col
lected their strongest force there, and
while pouring all their fire into our men
: they were taken in the rear by our sol
diers, so it all turned out right.
"The first chance I get J am going to
put the marines at it again and you will
see that they will make-up for their last
affair. It requires a little practice to learn
how to assault, especially such a place as
Fort Fisher, which is the strongest place
I ever saw.
"Rest assured that my feelings toward
the Marine Corps are not changed by this
little matter. I have too many friends
among them to be anything but their
friend. Your sincere friend,
"DAVID D. PORTER."
A Specimen Letter.
Scores of other letters from naval offi
cers, voicing sentiments similar to those
expressed by Admiral Porter, were writ
ten to Major Slack when the movement in
lWtiJ-GJ to turn the corps over to the army
and abolish It as a naval organization was
made, and the following, written by Com
modore Foxhall A. Parker, January 14,
186:1, is a good sample of all:
"My Dear Slack: Nothing could be more
detrimental to the interests of the public
service, in my Judgment, than the abolish
ing of the Marine (Slorps as a naval organi
zation, and turning it over to the arrny.
"God forbid that unwise legislation should
ever deprive the navy of that corps which
forms so essential a part of It?whose gal
lantry is proverbial. Very truly yours,
"FOXHALL, A. PAKKKR."
The present war promises to give the
corps many more opportunities to prove
anew its rare value to the government.
THE DIVER OX WARSHIPS.
A Very Jfeee*???ry Adjanet to the
Modern Mnn-of-Wnr.
Firm the Philadelphia Times.
If Paul Jones in ghostly guise wanders
around the warships of our new navy he
must see many surprising accessories to the
fighting and working forces as organized in
his day. One novel and necessary addition
to the crew of a warship of the present
time is the submarine diver." The impor
tance of this individual to the welfare of a
warship has been amply shown during the
recent operations against the Spanish tleets.
Speed has been the most important point in
the maneuvering during the opening events
of the war, and this has rendered it neces
sary for our ships to be in the best possible
trim for fast work, as owing to the lack of
dry docks to enable us to clean the foul
bottoms of our vessels when they come off
a long voyage it has been necessary to send
divers down to do the work as best they
could.
It has not been done well, but it has been
the best kind of substitute that could be
found for the proper article. The sub
marine divers are able only to scrape away
the barnacles and seaweed, and even then
they are so handicapped by the heaviness
and unhandiness of their dress that it Is
impossible to do the work in any but a
clumsy and Incomplete way.
But good or bad, the diver has become a
necessary part of# the ship's crew. Many
warships carry one or more trained divers,
lie must be possessed of an exceptionally
strong constitution, and, above all, without
the slightest tendency to any heart weak
ness.
Every foot the diver descends, the great
er, of course, becomes the pressure, and at
the deepest descent made, namely, 200 feet,
the pressure was as much as eighty-eight
pounds to the square inch. It is. however,
only but rarely that it Is necessary to go to J
such depths as this, but even working in
shallow water most men suffer very severe
ly at first, and emerge from their diving
suit with racking head and a bleeding from
the nose and ears. In truth, every time he
descends the diver takes his life in his
hand, for anything going wrong with the
air suppling gear would place him in a very
hopeless position. ]
The diving apparatus in use In our navy
is a costly affair. The method of Its work
ing Is simple. A long coil of tubing supplies
the diver with oxygen, and by means of a
coil of rope attached to his person he can
signal by pulls to the surface, and be raised
when the work is done. To descend, the
diver has, of course, to be heavily weight
ed. The weights carried on breast and
back weigh some eighty pounds, while the
heavy leather boots with their leaden soles
weigh another twenty pounds. The weight
of the helmet, which is ingeniously fitted
with valves to allow the vitiated air to es
cape, is no less than forty pounds, and to
this must be added the weight of the rub
ber dress itself, and the weight of the
heavy underclothing worn by the diver.
He is not a prepossessing sight, this mon- l
ster wiih the huge headdress and the glar- I
ing eyes, but his usefulness is immeasur
able.
Modern Conversation*.

"I thought the bride looked well, didn't
you?"
"Fairly welL But lavender is never so
good as white, to my mind."
"I don't know but you are right. How
much d?r you suppose it cost?"
"Her maid of honor told me privately it
was over two hundred dollars."
"I'm! It didn't look it. Who were those
people on the right?"
"You mew those awful lookers?"
"Yes."
"Soine of her relatives, I believe. One

"That's so. I'm glad I didn't have to I

"Well, they didn't miss much."
"No. Still, the refreshments were fairly

Washingtonians Scatter From At
lantic to Pacific.
OTHERS STAY AT HOME
Official Washingtonians are looking: for
ward generally to spending the Fourth
here. The cabinet families have. In fact,
no other Idea for the entire summer, or at
least until the capital becomes much less
interesting as a news center than It has
been lately. The Vice President's house,
with its green vines and bright-hued flow
ers in the garuen and around the porticos,
suggests a Newport villa, and when Mrs.
Hobart emerges to take her carriage, ex
quisitely gowned in the daintiest and fluffi
est of summer attire, the illusion would be
quite complete If it were not for the waves
of heat from the asphalt. With the de
partures announced for the coming few
days, as well as the great scatteration
which has been going on all the past week,
the assumption is somewhat general that
nobody who Is anybody in particular will
be left here during July. Connecticut ave
nue and adjacent streets seem deserted, al
though the late evenings do bring out a
number of familiar faces, whose owners
can also be seen hurrying and skurrying
through the shops in the mornings. The
usual amount of information current at
this season, engagements, divorces and
other chatter of an exceedingly personal
character, Is drifting around as usual and
helps to pass an idle moment. Today all
this has given away to the hopes and fears
embodied in the story of the gallant light
at Santiago.
There were many pretty weddings the
past week, and although custom has or
dained that rarely any of the prominent
events of this kind are ever arranged for
this or next month, there are always a few
which can be safely counted upon and a '
few otners in the nature of a surprise.
Looking forward to the fall, of the engage
ments announced there are not many of the
weddings likely to take place in this city,
since the fair brides-elect have homes else
where.

EXPERIENCE WITH LIGHTMNG.
Marvelous Antics la a Metal
Stored Shop.
Frcm tbe Baltimore American. - ?
Mr. Thomas Kelly, a machinist employed
at Mt. Clare, had an experience with light
ning during the heavy storm which last
prevailed, and which for its peculiarity has
been seldom, if ever, equaled.
Mr. Kelly has charge of all repairs to
the Selden-Ott block signals which are In
use on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
and has a workshop fitted up for his own
use and separate from the other shops.
The shop is a small room annexed to one i
of the larger buildings, and when It was
erected the lightning rod. which runs down
the side of the main building, was not re
moved, but. allowed to remain In Its place,
running through cne end of Mr. Kelly's
shop, and this oversight was the probable
cause of his narrow escape.
Mr. Kelly was at work In the shop during
the storm and was holding In his tongs a
piece of Iron which he had Just heated.
He laid It upon the anvil and raised his
hammer to strike It. Just at that moment
a ball of lire flashed across the room to
the anvil, the hammer descended, striking
it and scattering fragments of the ball In
al! directions with a loud report. Mr. Kelly
was thrown across the room against his
workbench and the hammer flew from his
hand and struck the celling with consid
erable force.
Every piece of metal In the shop which |
was struck by the fragments was either
burned or melted at the point of contact,
and the hammer, tongs and other tools
about the anvil were strongly magnetised,
as the men about the place afterward found
they would attract small pieces of metal
and filings. Mr. Kelly was not seriously
Injured, but did not recover from the shock
until late at night. It is supposed that the
lightning came down the rod and, in pass
ing through the shop, was attracted by the
large amount of metal stored therein. The
lightning also set fire to a small leak ta the \
gas pipe In the room, which, previous to the
storm, was not known to extst.
. In Canada the man or woman who wants
to sever the bonds of matrimony must go
before the dominion parliament, when the
committee on divorce in the senate takes
up the case and goes over the details very
thoroughly, and If, in tbe opinion of the
committee, the testimony warrants th*
granting of a divorce, the report to that
effect Is mede and both houses concur la a
bill giving the required relief.

five or more yes re ago lie the remains of
one who, it is ctalmed by his descendants,
came "very near" being the "father of his

It is related as a chapter of early but

chief of the continental armies was held
the candidates were George Washington
and Andrew Lewis. Both were regard-id
as famous fighters, and the vote by the
convention was a tie. The able but eccen

Lewis, v as the chairman of
the body, and consequently had the decid

The Old Sweet Springs property Is a mag

of which is under the highest state of cul

o\er 100 acres in corn, an equal number in
g;.i3s, and othen farm products are raised
on a correspondingly large scale. Some
idea of the extent of the Old Sweet Spring
tray be gleaned from the fact that 800 or
mere guests are readily entertained at a
time, and at the height of the season it

The estate Itself is a part of a gift of
500.000 acres granted by King James I to
John Lewis, the son of a French Huguenot?
Count Lewis?who was an intimate friend
of the English king. With his family he
*as forced to leave France by reason of
the tetms of the revocation of the edict
of Nantes, and found homes In other lands.
The Gen. Andrew Lewis above mentioned
was a grandson of the count.
Those who have seen a splendid monu
ment erected in Capitol Square. Richmond.
* nave doubtless noticed the four fig
ures heroic size, grouped around the base
and it has occurred to many that it was
strange that one, that of Gen. Andrew
Lewis, should have been sculptured in his
hunting shirt.. The generally accepted rea
son for this is that Gen. Lewis was one
ol the most famous hunters of his day as
well as a soldier. He was an Intimate
friend of Washington, the Washington Mid
Lewis families being related.
THOSE MORRO CASTLES.
How So Many of Them Happened to
Be la (aba.
From the Clevlai <1 Leader.
Readers of war news must be struck by
the number of "Morro Castles" with which
cur forces have to deal. Havana's fort of
that name Is the best known building ln
Cuba. When Admiral Sampson went down
to Porto Rico to shake up the Spaniards
there the principal fortification he had to
deal with was another Morro Castle. And
cow comes word of an attack by American
warships on a third Morro Castle at San
tiago de Cuba, the most important port in
the southeastern part of the island. Some
readers Lave probably wondered how it
happened that no such castles were en
countered at Matanzas, Cardenas and Cien
f uegos.
The expls nation of this occurrence of the
name "Morro Castle" Is found in the fact
that the word "Morro" means "promon
tory." Many of the harbors of Cuba are
remarkable landle?cked bays, opening to the
sea through narrow channels, usually long
and deep. They are shaped somewhat like
a man's hand, with the fingers more or less
spread and the wrist reduced In slse. At
Havana, Santiago and some other parts,
one side of the channel connecting the In
ner bay with the eea ends in a bold, rocky
1 headland. The opposite point Is lower and
less conspicuous. Where the higher and
steeper angle of the shore, between the
channel of the harbor entrance on one side
and the open sea on the other, is crowned
by an elaborate fort, formidable in the
times when It was erected, this fortification
Is usually and naturally named Morro Cas
tle, or "The Castle of the Promontory."
At Cienfuegos there Is no such fort, al
though the harbor Is one of the typical
bays of the Cuban coast, with a narrow en
trance. One reason Is that the city Is com
paratively new, and It has become a place
of importance since the era when Spain
fortified her American possessions with the
massive and picturesque stone castles
which modern artillery has rendered near
ly useless. Besides, the shores are much
lower there than at Santiago, or even Ha
vana. San Juan, the chief city of Porto
Rico, has plenty of room tor a "Caatle of
the Promontory," and it was natural that
there should be a "Morro Caatle" to light
at that port. Ifataaaaa and Cardenas are
on rather low parts of the coast, and the
latter la a small place. So they have no
"Morro Caatle."
This explanation is sufficient to show why
the name made familiar by Havana's pic
turesque old fort to appearing continually
? in the dispatcher and why it to necessary
to discriminate between the various "Mor
ro Castles" which figure In the asws of the
<ujr.
