some $4,000 square miles, and the
proposition has been made 70 erect in

electric plant which would consume

equivalent to the amount yielded by
200 acres. One acre Of bog averaging
ten feet in thickness contains about
1000 tons Of dried peat, and the
amount produced on 40 square miles
would afford as much heating power
as the $4,000, 900 or more tons Of coal
annually mined in Germany. The
proposed plan contemplates using the
energy on canal and in the manufac.
ture Of calcium carbide.

Greedy, chief signal officer, received a
dispatch Thursday night from Lieuten-
ant Colonel Allen, chief signal officer,
stating that telegraph and telephone
station had been established at a
point within two miles OF the city OF
Santiago. This information is of the
highest Importance to the officials OF
the war department. as IL insures to
them practically direct communication
with General Shafter.
The information was significant,
too, as II showed that the American
troops were in rifle shot Of Santiago.
The telegraph station being. Of course,
within the American lines, its location
conclusively indicates that the forces
OF General Shafter have established
themselves in advance Of the telegraph
station.

Meeting Siboney by cable with Guam

There was nothing for her to do there.
She was sorely needed on the Atlantic
side of the continent, where there was
work in plenty in prospect. In order
to get here she had TO steam 10, 900
miles, occupying fifty-seven days in
the passage and consuming coal
enough to supply feet for any or
binary course. Had there been q
Nicaraguan or any other isthmian'

TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS PLEASED.
The State Convention Accomplished Its
Labors Harinoniously.

LaDors HarfnOniOusly.
A Chattanooga special says: The
state democratic convention Wednes-
day and the harmony and tranquility
with which it accomplished its labors
is still matter of felicitation to the
departing delegates. The convention,
beside the nomination of statehouse
officers, had for consideration several
important issues, and thus additional
interest was lent its deliberations.
1t did not take the delegates long to
get down to hard work and permanent
organization was soon completed by
the election Of Hon. Alfred s. Dead
erick, of Washington county, as per-
manent chairman, and other prominent
democrats in subordinate positions.
The convention heard several speeches
and then committee on platform re-
ported. The following plank declar.
ing for free silver, is strong enough to
leave no doubt of the financial senti-
ments of the delegates:
"We hereby indorse the enunciation
of principles contained in the demo-
cratic platform adopted by the national
democratic convention at Chicago In
1896, it being true expression of the
democratic creed. We especially reaf-
firm our demand for the restitution of
the money of the constitution by q law
providing for the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at ratio OF
Is to l, without waiting for the con.
sent of any other nation"

'CAUGHTF|VE SMALL VESSELS |
THE DIXIE KAKES A BIG HAUL
AT CAYAELA.
CORRALED BOATS IN A BUNCH.
Spanish Crews Abandon Their Vessels
and Make For the shore-Two Men
Captured and Liberated.

A dispatch OF Wednesday from Hs-
vana says: The commander OF the
Spanish gunboat Ardilla reports that
while accommodating on June 26th at
Coloma, Punta Cortes and other places
at Coyaola, he was informed that q
strange steamer with one smokestack,
apparently q warship of 5000 tons,
was in sight. The stranger soon
caught sight OF the Ardilla and pur.
sued her. The gunboat kept within
the blue sea and succeeded in keeping
out Of range Of her pursuer. To the
southeastward the stranger, which
turned out to be an American warship,
appeared to be in company with other
vessels.
!. The Adrilla made reconnaissance
on the following day, June 9th, and
discovered that the American ship had
captured the sloops Nemesis, Of Bata-
BANJO, province of Havana; Amisda
and Msnuelito, Of Coloms, province
Of Pinar del Rio. and the pilot boats
Luz and Jscinto. 1t is claimed that
when the sloops were sighted the
American ship hoisted the Spanish
flag, believing he had to do with Q
Spanish warship. The pilot also ap-
preached the American vessel and did
not find out his mistake until o blank
shot and afterwards loaded shells were
fred at the pilot boat.
The shells, it is exclaimed, eip loded
near her. The American ship by this
time seemed to have driven the Span
ish craft into q bunch, including the
Luz, Jacinto and Amistad, Nemesia
and Manuelita. The latter, it is fur.
ther alleged, let go their anchors and
were abandoned by their crews, who
made for the shore, going in the direc-
ton Of Punta de Piedras, on the south
western extremity of Pinar del Rio,
between the Isle of Pines and the
mainland. The commander Of the
Nemesia, with one Of his crew, re.
NAMED on board his sloop and was
captured and taken on board the
American ship. Later he was set at
liberty after having been questioned
in regard to the Spanish feet and gen.
eral situation OF affairs.
The American ship is described as
carrying one forward gun, one. ct her
stern and four guns on each side. She
is said to have been commanded by a
"frigate capain" and to have "carried
about six hundred men with blue
pants and red fringe" who said they
were going to Cuba and afterwards to
Key West.
IL Was the Yankee.
A Washington dispatch says: The
American auxiliary cruiser referred to
in the dispatches from Havana was un-
doubtedly the Yankee, manned by the
naval reserves, which arrived at Kew
West from Cienfuegos on Monday last.
She then reported that off the Isle of
Pines, southwest coast of Cuba, she
captured, burned and destroyed five
Spanish small craft loaded with fish
and that she also captured two prison.
ers, who were released.
The auxiliary cruiser, which was
formerly the Morgan line steamer Ell
Norte, also reported having been en-.
gagged with Spanish gunboat, un-
the Ardil!a, referred to in
the dispatch from Havana.
