Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
can not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the bestp
If both articles are brought proml-
uently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.

boisterous in their greetings that they
could not be restrained by their officers
The cheering soldiers literally fell upon

Hobson, so far as possible. grasped each

Of the ebond-hued troopers Of the Ninth

thanks for the patriotic welcome with as
much heartiness as ne displayed towards
men Of his own race. He and all his men
were completely overcome by the recep-
ton accorded them, and tears rolled down
their cheeks as the soldiers crowded
around them.
At General Wheeler's headquarters

Hobson had an interview with General

To the correspondent of the Associated

of his adventures on the Merrimac, stat
ing that he must first make his report to
Admiral Sampson. but as to his expert
ences in Santiago he said:
During the hrsl four days We were
prisoners Of war we were confined in
MORO Castle. and can assure you those
were extremely uncomfortable and disa-
greeable days. The Spaniards did not ex-
actly III treat US, but II took them some
time TO recover from the shock caused
by what most of them considered our
Yankee impudence in trying 10 block
their harbor.
LAS a result the officers and men who
came in contact with US were gruff IN
speech and sullen in manner. For Ad-
mirsl Cervera l have nothing but the
highest admiration. His act in Informing
Admiral Sampson Of our safety L regard
as that of kind-hearted, generous man
and chivalrous officer. He repeatedly
spoke to me of what he called one OF

the communication we received. for there
were hundreds of other men on our ships

FOURTH MANlLAEXPEDlIlOM

San Francisco, July THE departure
of the fourth Manila expedition before the
middle of next week is now assured.
There is some doubt however as to
whether 1t will be commanded by General
Miller, as has been announced. There are
only two transports now ready to sail,
and these cannot carry more than 1900
men. Therefore the expedition may be
placed in charge of Major Sanford c..
Kellogg Of the Fourth United States cav
airy the ranking officer of those chosen
to go. The fifth feet will consist of at
least four vessels and will probably be
under command of General Miller 1t will
sail before July 20 and will corey to
Manila four volunteer regiments and sew
era1 battalions of regulars. The favored
volunteers are likely to be the Twentieth
Kansas, First Montana, First New York

Major General Otis. it is said. Will accom-
pany the fifth expedition.
