sPANIARDs IN A HOLE.
A Curious Feat Performed by the Gunboat Dolphin at
 Santiago. i

Ono of the interesting details of the second smelling of the coast defenses at Santiago was performed by the gun boat Dolphin. popularly known during Mir. Cleveland's administration as sthe presidents yacht and further known to naval men as the ship which broke John Roach Fhipe had ceased, and the vessels taking part withdrew off shore. Presently she Dei pnin, break- ing from the rest, steamed back and began a spirited action against some thing or land. There was railroad bridge B sight, so the supposition was that she'was trying to knock the slen- der steel supports from under 1t. But presently her business was plain to sight. At one end of the bridge there was short tunnel; into this a train had hurried and stopped, having escaped the solid shot with which the Dolphin had attempted to strike it. It was, as I say, short tunnel. When the engineer had his locomotive hid den, the rear of the train was still ex- posed, and when the conductor ordered him forward so as to cover the rear, the locomotive as liar as it's hell projected from the tunnels mouth. Thus the Dolphin kept it lodging until shell to the rear tore up rails and bed, and another to the front detached a piece of the hill, and stuffed the tunnels mouth with it. Having (actuaIly) put the enemy in a hole, the Dolphin turned back to the flagship, and reported that she had captured prize, but found it impossible to tow it to port.-Santiago ] Cor. \. Y Post.

THE PASSING OF GOLD LACE.
Common as They Formerly Were.

The sober-tinted and workmanlike appearance of the American army service uniform has attracted much attention among the representatives offoreign armies. Big gold epaulettes, startling rows of brass buttons, sashes and shakes used to hold the military mind in spell, even in this country; but the gold lyce and the tinsel had to

'Yes, they had Boston woman's phalanx all picked out to annihilate the Spanish warships."
 How were they going to do it?"
 By standing in row along the wharf and letting the blazing sun strike against their spectacles. Then they would concentrate the rays upon the Spanish ships and set the maga- zines on fire. ."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

OfInterest to Lodges.

The question whether drafts ordered
by lodges, church boards and other
chartered bodies, were liable to the
stamp tax of two cents under the war
revenue bill, was raised by one
of our citizens, who wrote to the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue protest
ing that such drafts or orders were not
within the intent of the law. He based
his protest upon the ground that they
were issued only for the convenience
of the lodge, and was merely evidence
for the treasurer that the lodge or cor
poration had ordered the payment.
The Commissioner referred the mat
ter to w ID. Rutan, Collector of Inter
nal Revenue, who wrote as follows
THAT such orders when drawn by
one officer of the lodge or church board
the secretary for instance), on the
treasurer of some lodge or church
board, and said order comes directly
to the hands Of the treasurer or paying
officer without the intervention of some
third party, i. o., without some third
party presenting the same for payment,
and said order is used simply as II
voucher by the paying officer, then no
tax il imposed. But where an order
Tor the payment OF money IL urhWn ny
an officer of n lodge or church board,
and given to the person to whom it is
made payable, and he or his endorsee
in turn presents it for payment to the
treasurer or paying officer, then it is
subject to stamp tax as provided for by
the provisions OF the war revenue act. "
Lodges can now see their way clear
to avoid the payment of this tax, which
is quite II heavy burden in the aggre-
gate. The secretary or president can
hand them directly to the treasurer as
soon as executed The party to whom
IL is payable suffers no inconvenience.
