The situation in Cuba remains about
the same, both sides having forgotten the
rules of modern warfare and resOrted to
any plan that appears to meet with
the circumstances Of the occasion. II

consumed all of their ready cash and

Washington Letter
A Weekly Budget Of Interesting News
From the Capital.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Every bill oi
the republican congressional campaign
committee has been paid and the
vouchers audited and the committee has
a small balance on hand. Chairman
BabcOck, whose health Is q little run
down on account Of hard work of the
campaign, will spend the holiday recess
at the Hot Springs.
Senator Allen ia struggling hard for
not0riety. Last week he got little bit
by moving that the senate take up bill
to which he himself is opposed, and this
week he made bid for more by Offering a
resolution for the Appointment Of COM
mittee Of senators to investigate the ex-
penditure Of money in the recent presi-
Dental campaign. He claims to base
this resolution on no better foundation
than that the vote Of a number of states
carried by Mckinley was largely in ex-
cess Of what were cast In 1892, when
every well-infOrmed man knows that
Cleveland was elected by the stay-at-
home republican votes and not because a
majority Of the voters Of a number of
states he carried were for him. This
year the stay-at-hOme vote Of '92 was
cast sOlidly for Mckinley, and for that
reason this very wise pOpulist wants to
investigate the expenditures. 1t is GUS
tOmaTy for the author of senate resOlu-
tiOn creating special committee to be
made chairman Of the committee and in
that custom lies Mr.. Aliens real reason
for Offering this resolution. If he could
get himself at the head Of such a SMELL
ing committee he could keep himself
continually in the newspapers, even If
he found out nothing. Men who become
public nuisances in their efforts for no
tOriety are really to be pitied.
Senator Vest intends to use the nOmi-
nation OF Secretary Francis to help him
get back to the senate. At the meeting
of the finance committee this week,
when under ordinary circumstances the
nomination would have been reported to
the senate, Vest asked that it be allowed
to go over, knowing that the committee
would not hold another meeting until
nearly the middle Of January. Mean
while he will try to make members Of the
Missouri Legislature believe that he can
confirm or defeat the nomination Of
Francis just as he plSases. Vest made a
tariff and silver speech, which was also
intended for Missouri Legislators.

Christmas.

Christmas has come with great delight,
The last sweet token OF the year,
Hearts are merry and faces bright,
Thinking Of Gods goodness and cheer.
How many times, by Gods own hand
Has our lot in pleasure been cast;
As time rolled up its golden sand,
In the year that has just now passed.
Reviewing from last Christmas day.
varied scene our minds does fill,
Sometimes we wiped sad tears away;
Sometimes we did with rapture thrill.
In Gods kind providence we see
The blessing of this festal day,
Which He does send so full and free,
While others have been called away.
So many now with us today
Enjoying these pleasure with delight,
Will spend next Christmas far away,
In yonder land arrayed In white,
There are faces, how we revere them,
In Heavens bright triumphant throng.
There are voices, methinks hear them,
That we have loved to hear so long.
May this bright Christmas festal day,
Enjoyed so much by you and l,
Cause our thoughts to go far away,
To that one coming by and by.
Anthems of praises ON that day,
We all shall sing, both small and great;
OF Him, wh0se.birth received with diSmay,
This glad day does commemorate.
Souls who now are caused to believe
Through the workings Of our own hand,
Will be the presents we'll receive
In yonder bright and happy land.

FIRING UNDER WATER.
A Curious Experiment with Cannon In
England.

A Curious Experiment with Cannon in
England.
The most curious experiment ever
made with piece of ordnance was that
at Portsmouth, England. A stage was
erected in the harbor within the tide
mark; on this an Armstrong gun of the
110-pound pattern was mounted. The
gun was then loaded and carefully
aimed at a target, all of this, of course.
during the time of low tide. A few
hours later, when the gun and the tar
get were both covered with water to
depth of six feet, the gun was fired by
means of electricity We said aimed
at target" but the facts are that there
were two targets, but only one was
erected for this special experiment, the
other being the hull of an old vessel, the
"Griper,' which lay directly behind the
target and in range of the ball. The
target itself was placed only 25 feet from
the muzZle of the gun. 1t was COM
posed of oak beams and { tanks and was
21 inches thick. In order to make the
old ''Griper'' invulnerable sheet of
boiler plates three inches thick was
rjveted to the water-logged hull in di-
rect range with the coarse the ball was
expected to take if not DETECTED by the
water. Of all of these. the oaken target,
the boiler plates and the old vessel hull,
the effect of the shot from the sub
merged gun was really startling. The
wooden target was pierced through and
through, the boiler iron target was
broken into pieces and driven into its
backing the ball passing right on
through both sides of the vessel, making
a huge hole, through which the water
poured in torrents. Taken altogether
the experiment was an entire success,
demonstrating, as it did, the feasibility
of placing submerged guns in harbors
in the time of war and doing great dam
age to the vessels which an enemy might
dispatch to such points for the purpose
of Smelling cities.-St. Louis Republic

THE CHIEFS DOG.
Magician McAJlister's Trick Cost the Poor
Brute His Life.


Nothing SO completely mystifes an
Indian to witness the operations of
some itinerant sleight-of-hand per
former, many of whom find their way
into the sparsely settled portions of the
northwest, where they are always sure
to reap a good harvest. Prof. McAllis-
ter the magician. once visited camp
of River Crows on the Yellowstone, and,
after extracting various packs of cards
and other articles from the ears, necks
and noses and garments of the aston
ished Indians, was invited to big feast
of roast dog end other delicacies. Chief
Two Belly was so impressed with The
great medicine powers of the professor
tha: he took him to his daughter, Miss
Wicista-Neet;i (meaning Wild Cat) and
offered her for a wife at the low price of
two ponies. The feast and daughter
were both declined, but as McAllister
was leaving the tepee he spied lean,
yellow cur. He asked Chief Two Belly
how much he would take for the dog, at
the same time stroking the brute down
the back to his tail length and each time
taking Il handful of money from the end
of the tail.
Him very valuable dog" said Meal
lister, picking a coin out OF the dogs eye
and another out of his nose Two
ponies for him, chief?''
The Indians, with eyes as big sau-
GERS, stood in awe and establishment,
and shook their heads. After McAllister
had gone they carried the poor dog
down to the river side and cut him open,
but the goose had no golden egg, and
they went slowly back to camp as COM
