SUBMARINE MINES.
General Wilson's Instructions Con-
cerning Their Removal.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-In compliance
with the determination of the Cabinet to or
der the removal of the submarine mines
sunk in harbors and rivers before the war,
General Wilson, chief of engineers, has ad-
dressed the following letter to all engineer
officers under whose jurisdiction these
works of defense rest:
1.-The secretary of war has ordered that
wherever the interests of commerce shall so
demand, the submarine mines now placed IN
various rivers and harbors along the Attain
tic, gulf and Pacific coasts shall be removed
or exploded
you are authorized to remove or explode
as, in your judgment, will be best for the
interests of the service wherever the inter-
ests of commerce so demand. the submarine
under your charge. 1t is intended that the
cables, junction boxes, anchors. casemate
appliance, etc., shall remain in position and
that you shall have ready at each harbor,
the necessary mine cases, explosives, etc.,
so that mines to replace those removed can
be laid Immediately upon the receipt of
telegraphic instructions. In the moving OF
the mines and withdrawing the charge, the
utmost care must be observed. as 1t is pos
sible that the friction arising from UNI
screwing the plug might cause an explosion.
Should you deem best in the interests of
the service to explode the mines in position
you are authorized to do so. whenever you
have on hand sufficient materials to immedi-
ately replace them, In firing the mines you
are requested to personally superintend the
operation and to carefully observe the re-
suit in each case so that the information
gained, which will be of great value in
future operations may be carefully collated
in tho interest of the science of war;
You will please notify by telegraph the
chief of engineers and the division engineer
of your division whenever you are ready to
explode the mines so that they may have
the opportunity of being present should
their other important public duties permit.
In all this work you are requested TO use
the utmost care: to see that the harbor or

Armchair critics who think the Spanish
got too easy terms at Santiago should con-
slider that a bombardment and assault of
the city would have caused a considerable
loss of life on both sides, and after we had
captured the city it would have been heap
of ruins and ashes, whereas now we cap
ture it intact and without the additional loss
of a single life. The sending of the Span
ish prisoners home in American ships is a
novel feature in warfare, but it is good pol
icy and is likely to excite the admiration of
other governments.

DISPOSITION OF SPANISH PRISONERS

The question of the disposition of nrison-
ers OF war captured in Cuba is an important
one. 1t has been agreed that the admin
istration will send them to Spain. AS it is
our purpose to clear the country of Spanish
soldiers and rulers, returning them to
Spain would be a logical disposition of
them. 1t has been suggested, however, that
Spain will be a logical disposition of
civil employees returned. The soldiers will
be menace, and there is no use to which
10000 or 100000 Spaniards now in Cuba can
De put II returned to SPAIN Having no use
for an army and no occupation for thou
sands OF dependents who have been forced
upon the people of Cuba, what disposition
can Spain make of her troops and civil de-
pendents returned from Cuba?
If the administration undertakes to re-
turn the troops, it will probably be nee
essary for it to come to some under
standing with the Spanish authorities re-
garding the matter. An exchange of pris-
oners could be arranged but Spain has
nothing TO exchange. The giving back to
Spain, on its home soil, of the prisoners
taken in Cuba may be refused by Spain on
the ground that it takes them far from the
arena of the war.
The Spanish prisoners of war can be put
into camps near Santiago and fed and
guarded. but it would not do to parole them,
as Blanco and his subordinates might
gather them in and again arm them The
expense of feeding the thousands of people
in Santiago and other cities as fast as they
are captured will be very great, and the
care of these people and the prisoners of
war is likely to be a more difficult matter
to manage than the capture of the Spanish
armies in Cuha

STOCK MARKET QUIET.
Trading Limited and Professional
I'm Its Character

New York, July 2L-Trading in the
Stock market today was again lin
tied in volume and professional
in character. There was little outside
business which deprived the room traders
of such assistance as they might have
enjoyed in their uphill work of making
any permanent effect in prices.
In the fndustrials there was a SEM
blance of activity which was chiefly the
result of mantpulative orders, but even
the tactics of those stocks failed TO in
duce more than a limited following.
The Rubber and Leather shares were
conspicuous in this last respect, and
both were advanced. though there was
no particular gossip attending their
strength. The trading in the railroad list
was characterized by profound dullness.
The news from the war and the de-
velopments from other quarters comprised
little that was calculated to impress SEN
timent decidedly in either direction. In
a way the rumored and unconfirmed
abandonment by the Government of the
proposed attack on the Spanish coast
was accounted favorable, and the fric-
ton between the CUBAN ana american
commanders at Santiago was ignored
though it would seem to open up unpleas-
ant possibilities.
The money and foreign exchange mark
cts presented unaltered conditions. An
interesting circumstance was furnished
in the further advance in the new Gov
ernment three per cents, which crossed
10i on fairly large dealings in when is
sued" contracts.
The tone OF the general market was in
the main steady. No attention was paid
to the slightly lower range of prices in
the London market for American stocks.
The steadiest features Of the railway list
were 81. Paul. Atchison Preferred and
Southern Preferred. The Anthracite coal
shares were heavy on the very unset
tied trade condition, which in this in
stance appear incurable and Jersey Gen.
trail was particularly depressed
The market closed very quiet
