bashfulness, Il want to get my soldier
boys out of the guard-houses. They
don't like il these hot days. and I'm
sure they will be good if you let them
out for a Fourth of July present. / am
SO happy that 1 want my boys to be
happy, too
Tn. general was so pleased with the
Il tie Ehrs eagerness that he sent her
to Gen. Arnold with a note. The latter
tha anked the little girl for her interest in
the soldiers. and at once issued an order
that was read that afternoon at parade
releasing all soldiers confined for court
martial sentences. The soldiers were
pleased at this, and during the Fourth
they paid their little friend many com

London. July 9.-The weekiies pay high
tributes TO the American navy. The
Speaker says:
The Santiago fight proves that. SO far
as the fleet is concerned. the United States
need not fear comparison with any coun-
try in the world
The Spectator draws conclusion
from the battle the conviction that the
American fleet could face even the French
fleet without great risk of disaster, and
says:
so far as the German and American
navies go. there would be no comparison.
A struggle between them would be very
short and very complete. and it would
surprise Emperor William, who thinks
himself inyincibe but his self-reliance
cannot alter history"

claring the Americans are unable to cap

the town is perfectly quiet.
Continuing, he says that there are no
signs of popular excitement, and no inti-
nation of general massacre of foreign
ers, which had been foretold.
The correspondent also says there are
no signs of famine in Havana. though he
admits 1t is true that provisions are very
dear and that there is distress among the
poor. who are without work. owing to the
blockade. But he adds that the distress
Is no greater than Is sometimes experience
ed in London.
OF the present attitude of the popula-
