trance Lieut. Marble arrived on the cap
tured gunboat He was given a great re-
ceDtion by all the ships. The Spanish Off
GERS volunteered to help remove or ex-
plode the mines in the harbor. They said
that there were six dangerous ones, and
that four had been exploded against the
Merrimac. There were also some contact
mines to the right of the Merrimac going
in The officers said that the mines to the
left of the Merrimac had been removed
to let Admiral Cervera's fleet out.
Looking for Mines.
Lieut.. Capehart, with some other Off
GERS, was sent in at 2 o'clock to explode
the mines. All this time the Red Cross
ship, State of Texas, was lying near wait
ing to be sent in. Admiral Sampson re-
fused, however. TO let them in despite
their imDatence Half a dozen launches
from the warships accompanied them in
TO explode the mines. They worked all
the afternoon, but no explosions were
heard
AT o'clock a number of Cubans were
seen at the western battery. A few min
utes later Cuban flag was raised at
that point. wig-wag flag was worked
for half an hour and then the Cuban flag
Was hauled down. The Brooklyn then
sent party of marines ashore
The Spanish gunboat, which had re-en-
tered the harbor, came out again at 5
o'clock and word was signaled to Miss
Clara Barton that she could go in on the
State of Texas. The State or Texas start
cd in and it was followed by she dis
patch boats. There was not time TO go
all the way TO the city before dark.
The Refugees Return.
Long before this the soldiers had re-
stored order in the city From y o'clock
on there was continuous stream of refu-
gees crowding back over all roads to
their homes, while streams of Spanish
soldiers were crowding out of the town.
Gen. Shafter assigns the latter places
near our lines. They did not observe
much order as they marched from the
city. As they reached the rifle pits they
stacked their rifles and went 10 camp
They spent the time in good-natu tured
chatting with our men and eating the
hard tack which the Americans gave
them. The exact number of rifles turned
in was not known when the special boat
left
Gen. Linares and Gen. Toral were not
in the city when our flag was hoisted.
They stayed in houses outside the town.
Gen. Shafter has ordered that our troops
change their camp tomorrow and go into
camp on the ridges and mountain peaks,
where the country is far more healthy.
There is much comment on the absence
OF Cuban flags in any part of the cerc-
monies attending the surrender, when so
many of them are seen around the mill
tary camps.
Spanish ohIcfnIs Retained
Gen. Shafter has telegraphed Gen. Gar
cia that he would leave all Spanish Off
cials in office until the Spanish soldiers
were all sent away He did not know
how long this would be The Cubans are
considerably dissa tisfied with Gen. Shat
ter's decision. but their discomfort viii
soon blow over.
Gen. Linares and Gen. ToraI will re-
main out Of the city until transport is
ready for them TO go aboard.
The refugees from the city found on
their return that all their houses had
/ been looted by Spanish troops.

The Range of Prices.

A tabular statement prepared by
Geo. A. Newett, commissioner of min
eral statistics for Michigan, shows
the average sales price of ores to 1893,
since which year the minimum and
maximum sale prices are stated. In
1856 the average was So a ton and in
1893, SIS to $3.50 per ton. This year
the prices run from 1926 to 1855.
This and the preceding season the
prices are given in odd cents for the
maximum. Ten years ago the frac-
tional difference In quotations was
quarter Of dollar. but the hard times
of panic years have brought both
mine-owners and consumers to point
where the pennies are figured on as
carefully as the quarters once were.
The analysis of all standard ores fur
nished by the leading mines were
made the bases OF last years prices
and this season further advance was
made In basing all prices on cargo
analysis OF the entire preceding sea-
son. A certain price is allowed for
each unit Of iron and a premium al
lowed fer each 1-looo of per cent Of
phosphorus below the Bessemer limit
Of .070 There are also charges for
moisture and other undesirable fea-
lures and the schedule, as adopted
this season by the Bessemer Ore asso-
citation is as scientifically exact as
could be devised by the best metallur-
gists and mathematician of the ore
and iron trades. Each consumer
knows exactly what he is getting and
pays for what he gets-nothing more
nor nothing less.

We may be here all summer-we NAV
be away In a week. They may march
us to the coast to season us-they may
send US to Washington, Tampa, Porto
Rico or Cuba.
But from appearances /. e. two big
reviews, one Friday and one Saturday
and we are nearly equipped. Last
night they gave US rubber blankets,
which would seem to indicate BUSH
ness. They also took back the haver-
sacks and canteens which they had
issued US and which they probably
had had in store since 1865, and will
soon reissue us first class ones.
For my part I do not care where
they send US as long as they give us
enough to eat which they are doing
just at present but how long it will
last is the question. l guess it Will
be all right now as the former bad
food was probably due to some of these
high collared 'stiffs'' who with good
pull" had gotten into some high
Office in the comissary department..
The boys all hope for a quick dash,
get the war over and go home again
Since the hope Of going to the Phillip.
ines has vanished, the boys differ
somewhat. Some hope to go to Fort
Monroe or Point Comfort; some again
hope to go to Porto Rico.
For my part / kind of hope fol

Another Session of the District Court In
This City.
The Judges of the district court
have decided to hold some more adj
journed sessions of district court at
the various range toWus in the near
future for the purpose of permitting
those who need the advantage of
second papers before they become
voters to qualify themselves. This
will be the last chance before the
November elections for many of the
range residents to make themselves
voters, for the trip of the court will
be made about the second week in
July, and the limit Of time prior to
election before which papers. must be
secured will be up on the first Satur-
day in August.
1t has not yet been decided which Of
the judges will go. The exact ter
ritory to be covered has also yet to be
fixed, but it will probably be about
the same as on the first trip. The
coming trip is not expected to pro-
duce so much business, as it is
thought that the eligible applicants

The lumber companies are protest.
ing that their cut over lands are as
sessed at more than Z 81 per acre they
will abandon them and let the state
have them, but none of these threats
have been carried out so far. 1t is
possible for them to do this if they de-
sire to, though in Wisconsin it would
not go. There the laws are so that
any property can he attached for any
taxes. One assessor recently got him
self into all kinds Of trouble with a
lumber company because he taxed
some Of its lands at $3.50 per acre.
The company protested that the lands
were not worth anywhere near what
they had been valued at, but short
time latter. when the assessor hap
pened to want to buy some land he
was astouned at the company's refus-
ed to take cent less than IS per acre.
That assessor has different opinion
now Of lumber company's kicks on
taxes.
