eral Charles Emory Smith to restrain him

tween the Government and the envelope

Department from permitting any other

tract with the Hon. James A. Gary to
furnish the Postoffice Department stamp

THE SPANISH TRANSPORTS
Prisoners Will Be Conveyed Be-
yond Porto Rico.
A SAFE LANDING ASSURED
No Danger of the Captive Spaniards
Being Put Ashore Before Their
Destination Ii Reached-Comno-
dore watsGn's Fleet to Keep .
Close Watch On Them.

The decision of the War Department to
allow a Spanish firm to transport the
Spanish prisoners from Santiago to Spain
has given rise to much comment among
army officers and others. There are sew
eral interesting suggestions Of complica-
tions that may arise, and of apparent
short-sightedness on the part of the de-
partment.
The question was asked an officer OF
the adjutant generals Office this morning
what guarantee there will be that the
prisoners will ever reach Spain. The ships
will be ofiicered by spaniards and every
body aboard will be Spanish.
There are two excellent reasons, and
perhaps three. why We fear no trouble in
this nne," was the answer. The feet
will be conveyed at least well beyond
Porto Rico by American warships. There
will be no chance for a landing at Porto
Rico to re-enforce the Spanish army there.
Then the Is, 600 prisoners will have no
arms and even II landed anywhere on this
side of the water would be a detriment,
almost, rather than a reinforcement.
Cuba Is blockaded SO efectually that
there could be no chance of a landing on
any part Of the island.
I'm addition to this the company that Is
taking the contract gives bond OF ESQ.,
900 for its fulfiilment, and does not re-
ceive a penny Of pay until 1t has proven
the army to be landed on Spanish SOIL"
There is a well-defined rumor still per-
sistent that Commodore Watson's squad
h. IN
the Spanish prison-ship neet The hints
of delays all point to the fact that the
squadron will not start until after Porto
Rico is occupied by the American forces.
The transports for the prisoners will not
we ready until August 10. The statement
has been made officially. as heretofore
stated, that the fleet will be conveyed "at
least well beyond Porto Rico"
Senior Ceballos, the American head OF
the Spanish Transatlantic Company that
has taaken the contract, was one OF the
great peace-at-any-price. autonomy men
who attempted to influence President Nc
Kinley before the war began. He was
introduced to the President at that time
by the peace party in America. 1t Is q
CURIOUS ldtdllty that winch SSosA1ioS
wanted the contract to transport his fel-
low-countrymen home to Spain he was
introduced to the War Department by a
prominent senator who was the head OF
the old peace party. II the Government
has been hoodwinked in any way by
Senior Ceballos this American gentleman
is to a certain extent indirectly respon-
sible. of course.
The chief complaint against this plan
of transporting the prisoners IL that sew
eral Of the Spanish transport ships to be
employed have been, up to this time,
tied up in Mexican ports. unable to get
away for fear of capture by American
warships. They are now assured safe
conduct to Spanish waters. where they
can again become useful to Spain, either
as merchantmen or as auxiliary cruisers.

The failure of the Southern States to

RAILROAD BUILDING OF 1905.

From reliable reports of the amount of
railroad construction in the first five
months of the year it Is estimated that
the half year will show construction Of
1,092 miles of neW tracknge in the
United States, Since construction is
generally larger during the last half of
the year II is believed that mt least 200
miles Will be built in the whole year.
This will he greater than the total of
last year or of any year since 1891.
About tW0-thirdS of the new trackage of
the year is in the southern states. OF,
making the division the other way, con
siderably more than half in the western
states, Alabama is doing the most there
having been laid in the state the first
half of the year 125 miles of track. New
Mexico, Texas, Louisiana and Missouri
are also building lines of new road.
The lines that are doing most in rail
road building are the FL PaSo 4 North
ern, the Mobile Il Ohio, Shreveport 4
Red River valley. Kansas City, Pitts
burg X Gulf, Astoria x Columbia river,
Kansas City. 0SceOla & Southern,
Central of Georgia and San Francisco 4
San Joaquin valley. 1t will he observed
that the principal Of these lines run
north and south, While the east II west
transcontinental lines are not out OF
date nor in danger of abandonment. II
is evident that railroad builders ant
promoters are trying to supply the de
mand for connections between northern
markets ana southern ports.
Much of the new trackage opens NJ
comparatively new country. The line,
in Alabama, Georgia, Texas and othel
southern states enter territory that ha,
