SIMPSONS bombardmcnt Of the San
tago Moro was thought to be fearfully
destructive. Day after day cable dis
patches reported such damages from
his great shells that the country won
dered how the gunners could remain
in such a shattered heap of stones. After
the surrender 1t was found that all
the hammering had resulted only in
destroying one unimportant bastion,
the main fort being as strong as ever.
In this is lesson. II pays to fortify
our coast cities. The antebellum no
tion that modern projectiles would
made all fortifications worthless is seen
to be false.

After only three months Of war Spain
sued for peace. The war will rank as
one of the most remarkable wars In
human history. A war without loss Of
a single battle or skirmish on one side,
without loss or serious injury of sin
gle ship. with surrendered prisoners
exceeding In number the force which
captured them. and with practical ami
hilation of the available navy of one
power. Is novel enough to make an in
teresting chapter In the worlds history.
The results are the more remarkable
when 1t Is considered that practically
the finest arms and ammunition of Eu-
rope. In some respects superior to those
which Americans employed for most of
their forces, were at the service OF
Spain. Krupp and Armstrong guns.
Spaniards serious advantage, and
Spanish soldiers have never been con.
sidered inferior fighters In any locality
| where their peculiar style Of fighting
was possible. Yet good troops, with
| first-rate equipments, with ships of the
latest and best European pattern, and
men who were not lacking In courage
| were never able to make anything like
a good stand on land or sea. Holding
positions declared impregnable by the
military experts OF their own and Other
nations. these well-equipped forces
were driven out of them by the rusl

DEAlrH NOTICES IN SPAIN.

In the simple manner in which the
Spaniards announce the news of a
death are illustrated the quiet taste OF
the Latins and the simple dscorum
with which their daily lives are order
ed.
The form OF notice that is used is cal
culated to- warn the person who re-
ceives it that it is not a message of
joy A .etter-carrier whose rounds
takes him through place where a de
ceased person had friends looks like a
hearse declusd with impressive trap
pings.
The size of these remarkable death
notices does not depend on the extent
of the grief that is felt by the surviv-
ors, as cold biooded Anglo-Saxons
might think. 1t is established strictly
by custom, and every man who gets
the attention at all may be sure that
when he dies he will he notified" 10
his friends just as elaborately as the
best man ia the country.
The proper size for one of these
Spanish heart disease producers is a
double sheet. On one side are printed
the remarks which the survivors feel
called on to make. Then the sheets
are folded and the address is written
in a white space which has been left
in the middle OF a mass of black. No
person can charge that he on she was
taken by surprise by one of these
death notices, for they can be distin-
guished a block away.
1t would be true economy if Spanish
society would decide, in view of the
war, to decrease the size for there will
be some demand for them.-Nsw York

BIsMlARcKs HAsr HOURS.

The following interesting details Of
Prince Bismarck's last hours have just
been made known. The family had
withdrawn to the late princes study,
adjoining his bedroom, shortly before
p. m. on the day he died. Soon after
ward the Countess Wilhelm Bismarck
went very softly into the bedroom.
The princes valet, Pinnow, was sitting
at his bedside. The prince lay with
his eyes shut, as If in a peaceful sleep,
and the countess returned to the study
to tell the other members of the fam
lily that he was at last enjoying a re-
freshing slumber. This sleep, however,
was in reality the consequence Of alb
sOlute exhaustion, and after that the
prince had only few lucid moments.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and ask
ed for something to drink. In obedi-
ence to DR.. Schweninger' orders, Pin
now gave him small glass Of cham
pagne and mineral water. More
more" he groaned. Pinnow said: 81
am not allowed, your serene highness.
The prince then said: "But, my dear
PinnOw, Chrysander is not here now
PinnOw hesitated. and Bismarck said
imploringly: "My dear, good Pinnow
We're you never once i'll when you were
a little boy? Well, you know how one
feels when one is thirsty and not al
lowed to drink" PinnOw could not re
sist this fervent appeal, and gave th'
patient a large glassfull. Bismarcl
drank it eagerly, and then slowly an'
peacefully expired.-LOndon Standard
