General Shaf,er.
 According to late advices, oul
 American boys are shooting up
 the town of Santiago de Cuba.
 Col. Bryan has been ordered to
 join Gen. FItzhugh Lees corps, al
 Jacksonville, Florida.
 It is now clearly apparent that
 the country is going right along
 increasing in prosperity, regsrdles:
 of the war
 It is expected that LinareS will
 initiate Cervers and make an at
 tempt to escape from Santiago
 Gen. Shalter has been instructed tC
 prevent It st all hazards
 SpanIsh soldiers at Santiago were
 gwen S400 each last Saturday and il
 is said to have greatly raised their
 fighting qualities, it had been Sd
 long since they had seen any money.
 The Spanish fleet under Camarra is homeward bound. Up to the latest accounts Camarra had not bathed his flag in American gore as he promised before leaving.
 Canarra has been ordered back to Spain. The Spanish government has just heard of Cevera's fate, and do not want to run any risks with the rest of their vessels.
 General Shafter telegrsphs that the general health of his troops is good lie also adds that the wounded are all doing well.
 General Shaiter had to send a telegraph operator into Santiago to send message for the Spanish gen. eral. He had none in the city, and wanted to ask permission to surren- der.
 Speaking of the death of a man in Denver hospital, the Republican, of that city, says: "It is thought from, what he said that he has a mother living ia Philadelphia" Just where his other mother are living was evil dently not disclosed.
 One of the first things which the next session of Congress will be called on to act upon will be bill looking to the construction of the Nicaragua canal. This has be come national necessity. Senator Morgan introduced bill providing for it during the session just closed, but no action was taken on it.
 AdEices from Paris state that the Spanish government is at 8 loss to know just what 10 do with Weyler. They are fearful lest, he undertakes through his influence with the army, to overthrow the government. The best thing they can do with him is to send him to Cuba and give our troops chance at him.
 The number of war and naval strategists one finds on the street corners telling just how Sampson and Shafter ought to conduct the campaign is quite remarkable. To believe what they say one is forced to the conclusion that the real genuine, army and navy ability of the country is not in command.
 The president has appointed Sen ators Davis and Morgan and Con gressmsn HItt as commissioners to go 10 Honolulu, and accept the Sandwich Islands for the United States. They are also authorized tO name President Dole aud Chief Justice Judd, of Hawaii, as mem bers of the commission. The com missioners will probably sail in a | few days on the cruiser Philadel l phia.
 The New York Journal on Sunday night, with a delayed telegram, forced Santiago harbor and started 1 Shafter's army on its march towards l Santiago. IL was a very clever piece of journalistic strategy on the part of this enterprising paper, but 1 like most of its war guesses, 1t proved to Ss a mistake.
 An exeh-lge says that the cigar ette IS expected to yield about S3. 000,0O0 C. tLe War revenue The young meu who have been rejected from the army on account of the effects of cigarette smoking. can console themselves with the thought that fl they are not permitted to fight they eau help to pay those who are fighting with their smoke, Every puG of cigarette helps to pay the war debt.
 The lat-s., and a very probable theory ia regard to the Spanish fleet is that It Is seeking neutral waters b remain m until the close of the war. By being located in neutral ports the United States will be un- able to demand that they be turned over t2 her when the peace arrange neats are being made. The scheme $ clever one and its meaning is readily understood. It is reported rom quarters close to the govern nent that Camara's vessels will go 70 some Arabian port in order to escape American seizure. The Globe Silver Belt is pouring 'ourth the vials of its wrath and ] Ibuse on Governor McCord for his allure 10 issue a commission to Mir. Stoneman, of Globe, after having . promised 10 do so. according to the Belt Governor McCord expected 70 receive authority to raise a regi- nent m Arizona, and it was on this | basis that he promised to com c mission the man from Globe.
