Santiago de Cuba, July 2l.-It Is
stated here that General Linares cabled
to Madrid on July 3, before General
Skaters demand for the surrender OF
Santiago, long message setting forth
the inability of the city to hold out
against an enemy superior in numbers.

for the sake Of humanity, to offer to
capitulate, but added that, II ordered

their duty, although realizing that
mistake had been made.

Antiquity of the Mirror.

An ingenious archaeologist says that
the Oldest evidence OF civilization is the
mirror. The japanese and Coreans dis
covered the art Of making one from
iron at least $500 years ago. This long
period Is dwarfed by the Chinese rec
ord, which shows that mirrors, large
and small, made of brass, copper or
silver, have been In use in that land
over 1000 years. De Morgan found a
mirror that seemed to date from the
second dynasty in Europe about 5000
years ago and the latest Investigations
In the civilizations Of Akkad and Nip
pur show that the bellies Of those half
forgotten countries used to admire
themselves in glasses of some sort or

Spectacled Cows.

Cows with spectacles are to be seen
on the Russian steppes. The steppes
are covered with snow more than six
months Of the year. The cows subsist
on the tufts Of grass which crop above
the snow, and the rays Of the sun on
the snow are so dazzling as to cause
blindness. To obviate this calamity,
1t occurred to kind hearted man to
protect the cows eyes in the same
manner as those OF human beings, and
he manufactured smoke colored spec
tacles which could be safely worn by
cattle. These spsctacles were great
success and are now worn by upward
Of 10000 head of cattle, which no
longer suffer from snow blindness.
On an average. every woman carries
forty to sixty miles Of hair upon her
head,

His story Is so full Of details that prove

There is decrease Of 5000 to 1000
year In the shore pay Of naval OFF,
GERS, and still further decrease when
they are on waiting orders. In the
army mounted officers receive little
more than those who are not mounted.
The table shows that all the naval
ranks below commodore receive a
larger compensation than the corre-
spending ranks in the army. In the
cases Of naval captains and command
ers it is easy to perceive the reason for
this. Captains and commanders are
command ranks, and the officers in
these grades are usually placed in po-
sitions Of the gravest responsibility as
commanding officers Of ships. Further
more, they are compelled to do con-
siderable amount Of entertaining, which
puts them to much expense. Again,
naval officers when afoat are obliged
to maintain separate establishments

dispatch sent out by the war depart

not filled their quota of men under the
presidents call for volunteers, which
stated that Massachusetts, had furnish-
ed only 54l men under the presidents
second call, has caused considerable
indignation among the militia of the
state. Adjutant General Dalton said to-
day: This report does Massachusetts,
a great injustice. The statement is alb

PUMPING OUT COAL.
/ WAY OF TAKING OUT THE CARGO OF
A SuNKeN CANAL BOAT.

n oONNGN SANAI bOHJs
The ola Way Of Raising tho Boat Hal
Keen Dispensed With-The Coal IL Now
Taken Out by Means Of Pump and the
The old way Of recovering coal from
. sunken canal-boat was to raise the
boat, with the coal in it, to a point
where the coal could be reached.
Chains were worked under the sunken
boat from pontoons moored alongside
of it. At low tide the chains were
made fast on the pontoons, which, ris-
ing with the tide, lifted the sunken
boat clear of the bottom. At high
water 1t was taken inshore as far as
possible, until it again grounded. This
operation was repeated until the boat
was brought to the surface. The new
way, or, rather, the modern way, Is to
pump the coal up from the boat, wher-
ever it may lie, and then raise the boat,
II 1t does not raise itself. By this
method the work is all done in very
much less time and at very much less
expense.
The pump used has no pump valves.
1t is centrifugal pump, the suction be-
ing produced by means of a disk, with
wings attached, turning at high speed
within the pump shell, circular
chamber to which the suction pipe is
attached. An eight-inch pump Of this
kind will pump crate or broken coal
easily, and pump up a load OF 800 tons
In a day. 1t will raise coal from a
boat sunken at any depth from five
feet to 200 feet.
The pump and engine are installed
on wrecking boat. which is moored
near the sunken boat. In this use the
pump has long flexible section of
suction pipe attached to 1t, and to that
are attached the various additional
lengths of pipe that may be required to
reach down to the coal. The pipe is
made OF wrought iron, and 1t is made
In sections of different lengths, so that
1t may be Joined to make pipe Of any
length desired. At each end Of each
length of iron pipe is fiange. AS
lengths Of pipe are jointed, the danges
are bolted together. with a rubber
gasket between. to make the joint
tight. The flexible suction pipe is held
out over the water and over the sunken
boat from the wrecking boat by gaff.
and iron pipe is added to the needed
depth. By means Of the gaff the pipe
may be raised and lowered as occasion
may require, as, for instance. to raise
the lower end of the suction pipe from
one part of the canal-boat UP and over
q crossbeam connecting the sides, to be
lowered into the coal in another part
of the boat.
When the pipe is all Joined on 1t is
not at once lowered into the coal. The
pump is first charged with water,
which is done in an exceedingly brief
time and in a very simple manner by
means of siphon attached to the shell
of the pump. When it has been charged
the pump Is started and the lower end
OF the suction pipe is then lowered into
the coal, and the coal and water are
pumped up together. and thrown out
through the pumps discharge pipe in
q continuous stream. A boat to receive
the coal is made fast alongside the
wrecking boat, and the coal from the
pump is discharged upon screen set

New York, July IA dispatch to The

respondent for the New York World,
who at the formal capitulation of San.
tiago slapped General Shafter in the
face, has probably got into deeper
water than he was ever in before Out
side of the unparalleled effrontery of SO

apparently stands alone. From the ac-
counts of the occurrence that have
reached this city, it would seem. how
ever, that the articles of war cover the
case completely, and that Scovel may
be even sentenced to death, should a
court martial SO decide.
AS to the incident itself, 1t is said
that when the time came to raise the
flag Scovel attempted to make his way
to the roof of the palace, with the in
tention of participating in some way in
the ceremony. He was ordered down by
the guard. Immediately after the cere-
mony Scovel pushed his way to Gen
eral Shafter and slapped the generals
face. He was promptly arrested and
confined. The act would seem from this
to have been purely wanton.

IS STILL INSANE.
Minta Goosey Tells Tales About Her
Stepmother.

Minta Goosey, a girl IS years of age,
who was tried for insanity in the pro-
bate court here a year ago and sent to
the state insane asylum at OsawatOmie,
was sent back to her home in the city
a few days ago as entirely cured. Yes
terday she applied to Probate Judge
Dolman for aid, stating that her step
mother had abused her and driven her
from home. She also said that the
abuse Of her step-mother was alto
gether responsible for her insanity
year ago.
Judge Dolman sent her to Police Mat
ron Thorpe, who secured her a place TO
live in exchange for doing light house
work.
The step-mother of the girl denies
that she ever abused her or turned
her out of the house, and says that the
girl is still insane and should not have
been sent home by the asylum author
tiles. The GoOsey family live in Au-
burndale.
The girls insanity at the time she was
sent to the asylum was in the form of
melancholia- MatrOn Thorpe says that
the girls mind still appears to be un-
balanced at times
