COAST DEFENSES
Against War Ships as a Harbor Pro-
lection.

Washington, July 19.-The military
and naval experts say that several i'm
pOrtant lessons in ordnance and forth
ficatiOns are furnished by the campaign
against Santiago. 1t is pointed out that
long contentious between the relative
merits of land Notifications and naval
ships as a means of coast defense have
received much light by recent opera
lions. When Admiral Sampson was
chief of the ordnance bureau of the
navy department he held that the most
effective means of defending coasts was
by means of war ships, rather than
coast defenses. It is said, however,
that the Spanish defense of Santiago
harbor has demonstrated that coast
defenses are even more effective than
war ships.
The batteries of Moro castle, Socapa
and the others, aided by the mining and
torpedoing of the harbOr, was effect
i've in preventing the American fleet
from entering the harbor and this de-
spite the fact that the Spanish guns
were in no sense fertilization arma-
ment 1t is said by some of the experts
that if MORO had possessed the large
modern guns such as those protecting
New York or Boston, it would have
been able not only to have defended
Santiago but to have done serious dam
age to the attacking fleet.

Horton, July 19.-The work on the new

has passed since the work was taken up,
yet in that time over fifty box cars have
been completed and are now doing good
service bringing grain to market Su-
perintendent Fitz Gibbon informed us that
he expects to have over 100 of these cars
in service. So far the work has been at
a disadvantage owing to the men
not having been previously engag-
ed in this branch. They are now
rapidly catching on and it is an interest
ing sight to see them at work. Five
gangs are now building these cars, and
more will be put on as soon as convenient.
superintendent Fitzgibbon is making an
effort to secure all the car work on the
Rock Island for the Horton shops At
the present time the company secures
many of them from contract companies.
AS the company has about 1,200 cars built
every year it will mean much to Horton

HIS EYE FOR SECURITY.
Ohio Man Attemps to Make a Loan in
New York.

New York, July 19.-About six weeks
ago Lawrence Hanna, of Dayton, Ohio,
a well dressed young man of twenty,
called at Grace church rectory, on
Broadway, and asked to see DR.. Hunt
ingtOn. The doctor was engaged and
Hanna was told to wait. He did so for
a little while and then left. On his
way out he picked up an umbrella

a young clergyman gave chase, and a
block away overlook the thief. A police
man placed him under arrest.
Justice HOlbrOOk, in special sessions,
gave the young man three months in
the penitentiary and a fine of $500. The
prisoner, however, told such a pitiful
tale and gave letters to show that his
people are respectable and prominent in
Dayton that the justice interested him
self, and yesterday he suspended the
unserved sentence and the fine.
When Hanna was released he asked
to see the justice privately. The JUS
tice consented, and the young man was
profuse in his thanks. Suddenly the
young man asked him for a loan of S25
to take him back to his Dayton home,
there to brace up and be man..

Justice Ho1brOok beat back the tears

WAY OPEN FOR PEACE.
Suggestion That Toral and Shafter
Could Start Negotiations.

Washington, July 19.-One of the
ablest members of the diplomatic corps
in Washington, the ambassador of a
continental power, suggested to-day
that If Spain or the United States were
DESTROYS of inaugurating a peace move
ment, necessary and effective means
of so doing was now at hand without
recourse to any foreign intermediary.
This he pointed out could be done
through the American and Spanish gem
erals at Santiago, who during recent
days have been brought into close COM
munication concerning the details Of
the surrender of Santiago. The Incl
dent has served to show that General
TOral was in direct communication
with Madrid, and his action was re-
SpOnsiVe to the wish of the Madrid
government. On the other hand it was
pointed out that General Shafter had
at all times been guided by the direct
advice and instruction of the Washing
ton government. This for the first
time in the war brought the two gov
ernments into direct communication.
and while the communication had thus
far been confined to Santiago it was
suggested that it offers the OppOrtuE~
ity for a much wider range Of inquiry
between the two capitals. II Madrid
desires to take the initiative in learning
what peace terms are possible then
such an official inquiry through Cen
era1 TOraI to General Shafter would
doubtless bring a response. This mode
of action was suggested in cOnjec-
turaI way but as one Offering the most
practical means of direct communities
ton on the subject of peace. Whether
either government will avail itself OF
the opportunity remains to be seen, as
there is no intimation thus far that
Madrid desires to make peace over
lures, and certainly there is no purpose
at Washington to initiate such move

united, or rather reunited, in the bonds
OF matrimOny.
In 1859 Mr.. Adams, then a resident Of
Prince Edward Island, removed to East
Richland, Wis, where he met the then
Miss Van Alstine. The attachment then
formed ripened into love, which result
ed in their marriage in 1852, tnirty-s x
years ago. Twelve years of happiness
were allotted to them. Three children
were born, all of whom are living, one
in Illinois, one in Wisconsin and one in
Minnesota Later a divorce followed,
Mr. Adams going to California, while
Mrs. Adams remained at the old home
in Wisconsin, where she has resided all
these years.
In 1879 Mr.. Adams located in Mitchell.

Mrs. Adams, located in Mitchell About
a month ago Mrs. Adams went to
Mitchell to visit the family of her
brother. Last week Mr. Adams made

her pride appears to restrain her from

the extent of her defeat and losses. I'm

only thing left for this country to do,
is to press on until Spain reaches some

with this end in view that active steps
