Tht battery is composed or a five-Inch siege gun aad a seven-inch howitzer and a ! be, mortar. . When in use there iuns are mounted on heavy wooden jiaiiorius surrounded by fortifications made of sandbags. A shrapnel tired from a five-inch "lego gun will bust into 500 pieces, which fiy with terrific force in all directions, and the shiapnel from a howitzer bursts into nearly 1 00 pieces. To destroy fortifications to five-Inch seige gun Is used, as such work calls for a straight fire, and th howitzer and mortar are used for angle firing, with the intention of dropping a death-dealing projectile in the. midJt of the enemy protected by forts. To j handle these guns and to move thsm from place to place requires a large j number of men and heavy draft horses. i i Going-to China. i Anay surgeons are In demand In tic Philippines and China just at present. 3 the City of Peking are- nineteen ihysicians and surgeons on the way , fa the far east.

Cragiu, the esir. v f which vas proclaimed by Pret-J".! ITelaya, said today that the compa y to construct the canal -d u id ar the laws of New Jersey would proceed to carry out the terms ot its contract w ithout delay. The capTtul needed has been secured, and if the edimate of cost made for this government is correct, the canal can be built for the same money and probably for leas. This estimite is about 130,000,000. Cnnimins said that the companv would prefer to have the government leave the matter in the company's hands, so as to permit private construction and operation of the canal for the benefit of the whole world. Hovjover, he added, the syndicate had no desire to embarrass the government, and would defer to its conception of policy. The route has not been selected, and the company has liberty to choose auy withiu the domain or Nicaragua. That preferred by this government would cei Utinly have preference. The probability is that the route will be that hitherto called the Niciraguan. Coats Off in Hawaii. Hawaii has felt the first throbs if the male shirt waist problem.
