Efficiency of It's Service VIII Soon Be

President Mckinley has on his desk the
draft of an order for making the greatest
extension Of the weather bureau service
ever made in it's history. The general
deficiency bill carried an appropriation of
$4,000 to enable the President, in his
discretion, to authorize the establishment
Of observing and reporting stations at va
rious points on the Caribbean sea, but
the promulgating of the order has been
withheld pending the conclusion of nego-
tiations with the Governments interested
for the right to locate observers and sta
tions These have mostly responded ia
vorably, and in few days the order Is ex-
pected.
The scheme contemplates the location Of
stations on the island Of Trinidad, at st.
Kipps, Barranquila, the islands of Cura-
Goa, Martinique, Hayti, the Barbados
and San Domingo. There are already in
operation stations at st. Thomas, Kings
ton, Jamaica and Havana. The latter
has not been interrupted a single day
since the trouble began. When the pro-
posed belt Of stations shall have been To-
Gated and are in operation the entire coast
of the Gulf Of Mexico, the Caribbean sea,
the passages adjoining will be covered by
daily reports. The benefits resulting there
from in the publication Of storm notices
will be to the commerce of all nations

there was fighting all along the front,
which resulted in the capture OF San
Juan and the driving back Of the Span
iards from their outer line of defenses.
July 8 Gen. Shafter demanded the sur
render Of the city, and the demand was
emphasized by the destruction Of Ger
vera's fleet in it's desperate effort to es-
cape from Santiago harboY. An armistice
was arranged, which was successfully ex-
tended to July 9 and 10. On the last
named date Linares refused unconditional
surrender, and the fleet bombarded the
city. July IL re-enforcements came up,
the investment Of the city was completed,
and a second demand for surrender was
sent. July ID overtures were made by
the Spanish general for the appointment
Of commission to arrange terms Of peace
and the armistice was extended again to
noon of July IA. On that date, convinced
of the hopelessness of further resistance,
Gen. Toral surrendered the city and his
army.

still remain in the western part of the
province the garrisons at Holguin and
Manzanillo, about 5000 strong, under
Gen. Pando, which are outside the zone
of capitulation, but there is no danger
from this force. Torals army will be
shipped to Spain, where it will be harm
less to us and an object lesson to Spanish
fre-eaters on the peninsula. Meanwhile
it is the intention to garrison Santiago
with immune regiments, and every effort
will be made to get the sick into safer
and more comfortable quarters. It will
be matter for congratulation that this
important result has been achieved with
out the necessity Of a general engagement
and the storming Of the city. Our loss of
life has been comparatively small,
amounting to about $50 killed, while we
have about 1000 wounded and sick in
hospital. The Spaniards have suffered
much more severely, thousand of their
sailors having been killed or drowned.
several hundred of their soldiers killed.

ulation that the Government proposes to
push the expedition forward to Porto
Rico with all speed. Gems. Miles and

be allowed to return to Spain. These

had been informally decided at the con-
