The size of the Spanish army and
the position of the several squadrons
of their fleet seem to be unknown
quantities. If Cervera is at Santiago
de Cuba, as is believed to be the case,
it is probable that his squadron will
spend the summer at that point.

WASHINGTON LETTER,
From our regular Correspondent

is Just now exasperatingly coming
snt in its Importance upon 'it's." If
Commodore Schley has that Spanish
fleet bottled up in the harbor of
Santiago de Cuba, as the administra-
ton confidently believes that he has,
the invasion ofCuba can be proceeded
with, as it has been definitely decided
and officially announced that the In
vasion is not to be postponed a min
ute longer than is considered absolute
ly necessary to ensure the safety
from capture by Spanish warships Of
the transports that will carry our
soldiers. The transports to carry
%, 900 or 10000 men are ready and
waiting, and that many men thorough
ly equipped for service are at the
points of embarkation ready to start.
But, if the Spanish fleet is not bottled
up, and there are doubters in high
circles, the country is in for vexatiOus
uncertainty and guessing.
1t is contended by Gen. Miles and
others that nothing will be gained by
invading Cuba until we can send at
least 100000 men. Because it will
be useless to make an attack upon
Havana with a land force much
smaller than that. Although nothing
official has been or will be given out
on this subject, there is excellent
authority for saying that it will re-
quire at least three or four more
weeks to equip enough of volunteers
to make that number. Although
extra efforts were put forth to make
good showing at Camp Alger when
the President went to review the
volunteers there, the lack of equip
ment was made painfully apparent by
the fact that only two-thlrds of the
10000 men in camp could take part
in the parade, and the equipment of
many that were in line is utterly
worthless for fighting purposes. The
same condition exists at all the mo-
billing points. The men are ready
and anxious to fight, but they are not
yet properly prepared to do so. But
the work of preparing them is not be-
ing allowed to lag.
Senator Teller always has positive
opinions, and they are usually interest
ing. OF the war be said in a short
speech; "Those who ought to know
estimate that the present war will
cost $500, 100000 lift be prosecuted
one year. 1t ought not to last a
year; it will not last year. 1t is not
a war of conquest, but war of
humanity. However, since, we have
taken the Philippines we ought to
hold them until some decision can be
reached as to their disposition. We
ought to take every foot of Spanish
soil, outside of Spain ITSELF whether
it be in this hemisphere or in the
other We ought, believe, to drive
the Spanish flag from the waters Of
both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans"
Senator Germans statement in
speech on the war revenue bill, that
unless that bill authorizes an issue of
bonds, the President will issue bonds
under the same law that President
Cleveland did-the resumption of
lS75--is regarded as one Of the most
significant that has been made dur
ing the Senate debate on that bill.
Although Senator German is demo-
crat, he has enjoyed the confidence
of President Mckinley and has been
called on for advice constantly since
the war troubles began; consequently
his statement is regarded as an
official notification that the admins

three high priests on sacred ponies bring
up the rear.
The procession after passing the hotel
booths descends the hill, first by the broad
smooth avenue already described. and then
by the stony road which leads to the sacred
bridge. But before the river is reached the
procession turns to the left in order to de-
scend to the temple, where the palanQuins
are deposited until all the offerings have
been made and the tedious services have
been completed. Then the procession re-
verses las route and starts on the return of
the sacred palanquns to their accustomed
resting place. The return trip. though up
hill, Is made at a much livelier gait than
the descent, and in comparison with its
tortoise movements earlier in the day the
parade in the afternoon shows much of the
hustling animation of mourners returning
from a funeral
At this time 1t resembled somewhat in
gait religious procession of the Inari tenn
pie that saw at Kioto, in which the rich
palanquins were borne quickly along by
host of half-naked men and boys, who in
terrupted their march only to dance and
sing and wave their hands, drunk with re-
fgious enthusiasm and sake. They seemed

To the spectator from this point looking

blue on one side and line Of pink on the
other, followed by confused mass of
yellow and white. The blue line resolves
itself into a file of men with spears,
sv ords, brocaded helmets and vestments
of blue or green the pink line is composed
of men similarly armed, wearing red
dish overdress. There are perhaps seventy
five in each file. Then comes a grotesque-

under the brocade, furnish legs and mo-

panied by the six sacred kagura dancers
with bells and fans, a white handkerchief

skirt, and brocade obi or sash. These

Pitiful Causes of Cheap Bibles.
ron the New York Times

Why are Bibles cheap? The labor
question seems to enter into consideration
Of the subject. The printing of the Sacred
Word is subject to precisely the same laws
Of supply and demand as the printing OF
the strip OF calico. Some one asks: lis It
not the zenith of Inconsistency to find
clergymen in their anxiety to have cheap
religious books encourage the manufacture
Of Bibles by inadequately paid labor?" The
trouble seems to be that In binding women
do the work in Scotland at from 10 10
shillings a week, whereas in London the
men can barely live when doing the same
work at 30 shillings- There does indeed
seem to be something pitiful when family
OF Bible binders may be starving on to 10
shillings a week. The general secretary Of
the English Bookbinders' Society In an APP
peal to the public writes: Before landing
the cheapness Of Bibles, the officials Of
Bible societies should make sure that they
have been produced by labor for which fair
and proper wages have been paid"

advancement.
'One pleasant day in 1853 the two had
gone hunting together. A flock of part
ridges flew over a fence where the father
had no right to shoot; but as he was NOV

son. The father, so eager to bring down
bird that he did not think of his sons
danger, fired. Several shots entered Henry's
breast, and one went through each glass OF
q pair OF spectacles he wore. In an in
slant he was stone blind for life.
But within ten minutes from the time
of the accident which deprived him OF

determined that even blindness should not
swerve him from his purpose.
