match. Roth is yet in his teens and,
if he continues to improve in his play
ing he will be a wonder. He has dem

supremacy over the remainder of the
players of the city and over the senior
members of his own club. However,
there is no disagreeable feeling enter-
tninoH fnr him for the boys are all
glad to see the boy win. He is a quiet,
unassuming young fellow who never
braes about his playing and vLd is
ni-tt-nvs readv to concede a doubtful
point to the other side. In this man
ner he has won himself a place in the
hearts of the members of the P. T. C.
who all join in giving three cheers for
the vouthful winner of the tenuis An

The club house of the P. T. C. and

to the effect that the joint resolution

two have published aboard the Balti
more a pamphlet of fourteen pages giv
ing some new matter on tne iamous
battle of Manila. The little book is a
very creditable production, with "Old
Glory" in correct colors on the first
page of the cover and this couplet on
the last page:
When the din of battle was o'er
Revenged were the boys of the Maine,
We had made the enemy lower
The flag of ancient Spain.
In enclosing the pamphlet to a
,i rm thp Advertiser. Mr. Hum-
11 1V.11VI Wi. ,
phrey writes a characteristic note
He says:
This little pamphlet will tell you
-ii ni.nnt ti,p v.nttip of Manna. ine
town is at our mercy. We are only
waiting for troops to occupy it after
wp tnkp. it. We are not having mucn
of a variety in the line of eating, but
all are well. The beer is all gone ana
lots of the bovs miss it. Please send
us a few Advertisers occasionally. We
want Honolulu news very much.
Following are some interesting ex
tracts from the work of Messrs. J. A.
Wisner and H. I Humphrey:
flppt ipft .Mirs Bay at 2 p. m.
Wednesday, April 27th, after this ship
had been taken on board tne u. fc.
Consul to Manila as passenger. That
evening our suspense was brougnt to
rinsP hv Cantain Dyer assembling
all hands on the quarter-deck, reading
us a statement from the i,oernoi
General of the Philippine Islands to
a Hong Kong newspaper, in which he
stamped the United States as a "Na
tion without a history, populated with'
thp srnm and offal of Europe, ana a
Nation capable of any dastardly deed,"
adding numerous other insults tenumg
to ignite a spark of hate for all tnat
was Spanish in the heart of even the
most conservative American, ue n
such bv right of birth or by adoption.
When 'Captain Dyer in closing said:
'Men we are now going to .Manna un
der orders from our Government to
r-nntnre and destroy the Spanish neer.
on,i ran r!o it." the ships company
fairlv went wild with excitement, the
.if was vent with loud cheers, ana
-hon hP added: "Jf I ever entertained
such a thing as a doubt about the
inv? of the Baltimore at a time liKe
hi it had been entirely removed,
and' I know now that we'll succeed,"
he was given three cneers witn a win.
He then introduced Mr. Williams, U.
S. Consul to Manila, who in a few well
chosen words told us about the situ
ation at that port and gave us a brief
outline of the work before us. He was
also loudly cheered. Everybody turn
ed in that night with his mind per
fectly at ease and if there was any
body among us that was the least
bit 'afraid, he did not show it.
We were now at sea steaming slow
Iv in the following order: Olympia,
Baltimore, Raleigh, Petrel, Concord,
and Boston, forming one column, and
the McCulloch, Nanshan, and Zafiro,
forming another to our starboard. The
time was taken up by getting every
thing ready, sending spare gear below,
throwing woodwork such as mess
chests, tables, benches and partitions

overboard, securing and covering
boats, etc. On Saturday night wo
were nearing the entrance to Manila
Bav. and a .sham lookout was kent-
We were going in under cover of dark
ness and right below and in range of
their guns frowning down from forts
on both sides of the entrance. No
lights were shown except a stern
light on each ship. All hands were at
quarters and all guns loaded, with ex
tra charges ready at hand; every eye
was strained and every ear was on the
alert to catch the slightest sound. Now
and again lights could be seen Hashing
from the surrounding hill-tops and an
occasional signal llared up at one mo
ment to be swallowed by the unbroken
darkness the next. At twenty minutes
past twelve there was a sudden flash
inshore and abaft our starboard quar
ter, followed a second or two later by
a dull report and that peculiar awe
striking swishing sound of a flying
projectile the first shot had been fired
and the game was on! Owing to the
darkness or to the poor marksmanship
of the Spaniards, that shot flew wide
of its mark, as did two more fired
in rapid succession from the forts and
answered iby the Raleigh and Boston.
When day broke on that never to he
forgotten Sunday morning. May the
1st, Manila harbor Avith its handful
of merchant vessels bore right ahead,
and off our starboard bow we could
make out the enemy's fleet dimly
looming up in the early dawn lying
outside of Point Cavite, their forti
fied Navy Yard and general strong
hold. The Olympia was steaming
slowly at the head of the column, the
Baltimore a couple of ship-lengths
astern of her, and the balance of fleet
following. The McCulloch and the
transports were left standing off in
bay. The most critical moment of our
lives was drawing near, and when at
r.:0.-j the flagship made signal: "Pre
pare for general action," when the
Stars and Stripes were, broken at
every masthead and every peak, when
Captain Dyer solemnly pointing up at
the waving folds of "Old Glory," said:
"There it goes, men; we have an empty
stomach this morning, but we have
a full heart; now let us see, what we
can do under this flag," when every
man silently took his station, there
was nothing but grim determination
to "do or die" to be seen written on
every face. The Spanish were again
on the aggresive for nt oiiTt they fired
a shot from one of their forts, follow
ing it up by a regular fusilade from
their vessels and shore batteries. The
most of their shots fell short and a
few caried over us, dropping into the
ibay all around the ships, too far off
to do any damage, but yet too close
for comfort. We seemed in no hurry
to return the fire, and fully 25 minutes
were spent in maneuvering for posi
tion, the range being diminished stead
ily if slowly by our fleet steaming
closer and closer right in the teeth of
the enemy's fire. Those minutes seem
ed hours, and some our men were ac
tually begging permission to shoot.
At last the first shot was fired by our
ships at about 0,000 yards range, and
the battle was on in earnest. A small
torpedo boat was seen to emerge from
the shore making for our transports
at a hieh rate of speed. The second
ary batteries of our ships were made
to bear on her, shells fell around her
n a veritable shower, and finally
turning she was rung nigh and dry
on the beach and abandoned. Our
fleet was now steaming back and forth
off Cavite Bay, making three "legs"
to eastward and two to westward,
forming a large figure "S" and deliver
ing broadside after broadside with
snlendid results. All this time the
enemy's vessels Reina Christina (flag
ship), Castilla, moored head and stern
with port battery in use, Don Antonio
de Ulloa, Isla de Cuba, lsla de Euzon,
th elarge transport Mindanao and a
number of smaller gunboats were
keeping a steady fire, the smaller ships
retreating inside of mole several times
during action. The forts were not idle
but kept thundering forth their tribute
with no noticeable effect. The enemy s
f!re seemed to be concentrated on the
Baltimore, and she was hit six times.
A 4.7 inch armor piercing shell punc
tured our side on main deck line, tore
up the wooden deck and, striking the
steel deck under this glanced upwads,
went through after engine-room hatch
