This war promises to hold the pre-
for daring exploits. Ensign Cald-
well, of Admiral Dewey's feet, was to
take a steam launch up river empty
ing into Manila bay, and in the dark
ness Of night affix a torpedo to Spanish
torpedo boats secreted there and leave
the rest to a kind Providence. But the
Spaniards suspected such an attempt
and sank ship across the rivers
mouth, bottling up their torpedo boats
and preventing an attack. Caldwell
had the spirit of llobson, or of Gushing
when he made his dash upon the Abe
marie. And the American navy is full
of such men, waiting for their oppor-
tunities.

bardment of Santiago furnished the
fireworks artists with new field for
the exercise of their skill this year
and both of these events were repro.

made set pieces of the battles, 40 by
100 feet, showing the forts. tropica
landscapes, and ships. Dealers re

The recently enacted war tariff
places duty of ten cents per pound on
teas. In many cities there are now
stored large quantities of free teas
imported under the former tariff. In
a number of instances importers and
warehousemen have desired to bond
warehouses for the storage of inn
ported teas without being required to
remove the free article now stored in
such premises. The regulations of the
treasury department forbid the use OF
bonded warehouses for any other pur'
pose than the storage of imported
merchandise in bond. In view, how
ever, of the emergency and the expense
and annoyance which would be in
volved by the removal of free teas, the
secretary has consented to the bond
ing of warehouses, provided the free
teas now stored therein are kept en-
tirely separate from all other goods
and that they be removed therefrom
within six months, when the ware
houses are to be rebonded. The con-
cession applies only to teas.

This is the second time in the history

This is the second time in the history
Of this country that an army has been
landed on foreign soil. The first was
at Vera Cruz, Mexico. in 1s47, under
Gen. WiAfield Scott. and consisted OF
10000 men. They marched direct from
Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico, dis
tance of about 300 miles, defeated 30
GOO Mexicans, and held the city for full
nine months, or until peace was de-
clared. This was a bold stroke on the
part of the United States, but was en-,
tirely successful. There can be no
question but that the present invasion
will be equally successful and even
more extended in its influence.

The first issue of $500, 100000 of gov
eminent bonds seems likely to be over
subscribed, five times over at least. The
subscriptions already in amount to
nearly $900,000,oO0, and the books are
open until after The 14th of July. Those
who subscribe early will get the bonds
at par. They are sure TO be worth sew
eral per cent. more than this within
year. 1t is estimated that 101 and per-
haps 1902 could have been got for them
If they were left TO open bidding. But
what is called open bidding is now so
controlled 5y syndicates that the small
capitalist has little chance to get
bond. But to have the bonds taken by
half a million more or less small hold
ers is perhaps enough better for the
government to warrant this loss. The
moral effect of such popular subscrip-
ton is great. 1t was this spirit which
the French people showed after their
war with Germany, when the indemnity
money was paid by the mass of the peo-
pie, who took bonds in small amounts
for more than the large sum needed.
