Mail for Soldiers,

Washington, June 26.-The Postotfice
Department is making arrangements
to run daily mail boat from Tampa
to Santiago fer the benefit Of the army.
At present there is no regular time for
departure or arrival of mail, for the
department has had to depend upon
the dispatch boats that are sent in
from the fleet for supplies. An enor-
nous quantity of soldier mail is re-
received at Tampa daily. 1t comes by
the carload. The 10000 soldiers re-
ceive great many more letters than
would be sent to the same number of
citizens in the ordinary walks of life
The postal agents at Tampa hurry
them as much as possible. They are
assorted by regiments. and upon their
arrival at Santiago are delivered to the
proper officers on board the transports
Thus far it has been impossible 10
handle all the newspaper mail but it
is being forwarded as rapidly as facili-
ties will allow. AS fast as camps are
established in Cuba postal facilities
will be furnished. There are now sew
eral hundred men employed exclusively
to handle the soldiers mail.

IGNORING PORTO RICO.
Army Authorities Giving Their Whole At

Army Authorities Giving Their Whole At
tention to the Santiago Campaign.
Washington, ID. c., June 24.-The
project to occupy Porto Rico is now re-
garded by prominent officers Of the
army and navy as practically removed
from immediate consideration. They
say that unless the death rate of Gen
eral Skaters army from diseases in
digenouS to Cuban soil is exceedingly
high. the President will authorize the
prosecution of IL general aggressive
campaign throughout the entire island
of Cuba the moment Santiago is cap
tured.
When General Miles returned he is
said to have convinced the highest au-
thorities that the best of military rea-
sons existed for concentrating every
resource of the government, for the
time being at least, to the support of
General Shafter.
His campaign was of a more hazard
GUS nature than had been generally
appreciated Notwithstanding the ex
cellent equipment and the trained
forces which had been provided in this
army corps, the fact that 10000 men
were to be landed in Il strange country
in the face of numerous force whose
exact strength could only be estimated.
would probably prove the crucial
event of the whole war. Its success
might be expected to result in Spain's
prompt realization of the futility of
further resistance, while serious re-
verse even of n temporary character
might indefinitely prolong hostill-
ties.
The Illusion that the actual posses
sion of Porto Rico constituted any
valid advantage from an international
law point was speedily dispelled by
the citation of precedents. 1t was also
made evident that the United States
had absolute justification for exacting
the surrender of Porto Rico by Spain
as an indemnity against part Of the
cost of the war.
1t now appears to be settled that no
attention will be paid to Porto Rico for
the present. unless it develops strategic

The liberal government in Canada is
preparing to hold a referendum on the
subject of prohibition. A bill is being
prepared which will provide for vote
by the entire people of Canada on the
advisability of passing a federal pro-
hibitory act. forbidding the manufac-
ture. Importation and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. Since 1878 there have been
plebiscites in the four provinces of
Manitoba. Prince Edward Island, On
tario and Nova Scotia on the subject,
each of which gave majority for pro-
hibition, the aggregate in the four be-
Ing 1898 votes. 1t seems more than
likely that prohibition will receive a
majority at the proposed plebiscite for
the whole dominion, but 1t is not sure
that the government will then pass a
prohibitory law.

TAX ON PAY CHECKS.

Chicago, June 27.-Employers who
pay their help with bank checks are
concerned over the war-revenue law.

properly Cancelled and dated.
The Stockyards Company has not
far from $4,000 employees who are paid
by check every two weeks. The war
revenue stamps therefore would In
volve an extra expense of S1,4OO, and
the company may abandon the check
arrangement and pay in currency.
In the case of railways, however,
where employees are scattered about In
many districts. payment by check Is
almost Imperative. The Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe Railroad Company
has already ordered 100000 1-cent and

other railroads the Chicago. Rock

st. Paul, with 1000, and the Chicago
Il Northwestern. with 6,OOO checks,
have decided to pay 2 cents to the gov
ernment rather than distribute cash to
their employees.
The Chicago board of education,
which distributes each month over D.
300 checks, will hereafter pay 2 cents
each for the privilege. So will the

Our Troops Were Fortunate In Landing

Washington, ID. c., June 25.-The
President was decidedly pleased when
he learned from Cuba that all of the
troops were on land, and he regards
the good fortune that has followed
them from the start as dispensation
of Providence. He realizes fully the
degree of danger to which they have
been subjected at this season, when
hurricanes of terrific force are fire.
quent. Weather observers say that
many years have passed since the an
nual summer hurricanes were post
poned as long as they have been this
year. There is usually one. and some
times two, destructive storms about
June 21st, which have often destroyed
plantations, factories. railway bridges
and other artificial structures on shore,
and sometimes wide forests and entire
cities have been swept away by the
force of nature AT these times 1t is
often impossible for shipping to sur
vive unless it happens to be sheltered
in well-protected harbor.
Such a hurricane, which may be ex-
pected any day, would not only have
scattered the fleet of transports, but
might have sent n dozen of them to the
bottom. The men-of-war, and particu-
larly the battleshps, are better able to
resist the force of these gales than
merchant ships. because of the heavy
materials of which they are construct
ed and the fact that Il larger portion
of their hulls are submerged in the
water. The danger to the fleet is not
over yet, but the President feels that

congratulation that the troops are all

1t has remained for the dynamite

the entrance to Santiago harbor was
not completely blocked by the sink

Dor few nights ago. the yesuvius dis
covered ample room in which to pass
the wreck of the Merrimac. She went
in, made observations along the inner
harbor and then came back to sea,
getting around the wrecked collier
without difficulty.
Not only did the dynamite cruiser
pass the wreck, while deconnoitering
about the outer forts the other night,
but 1t gave Admiral Sampson news
which resulted in closer examina-
ton of the wreck as it now lies. 1t has
been asserted that two battleships can
enter the harbor abreast one passing
to the right and the other to the left
of the Merrimac wreck. This is an op-
pOrtunity that will be of great ad-
vantage to Admiral Sampson when the
final attack on Santiago begins.
Lieutenant Hobson and his men are
still in communication with the fleet.
There is little prospect that they will
be exchanged before the attack on
