Thousands Of tiles and chimneys

According to his account, the leaders
of the agitation evidently had well ar

emerged from all the gates of the town
and converged on a centre, where they
rapidly constructed barbados. When
they were dislodged by the troops they
mounted to the roofs and rained tiles
and chimneys down on the soldiery.
The gates of the town were held by
troops in the evening and throughout
the night so that workmen employed
outside were unable to return to their
homes. In this way the rising was de-

complete darkness and funeral silence.

Washington, May Sit can be stated
with authority that Secretary -Alger
will continue to serve as Secretary OF

are absolutely without foundation
With equal positiveness it can be said
that it is the earnest wish of the Presi-

Of the war movement with energy and

the entire satisfaction of the President,
whose unqualified confidence he enjoys.
Based on the fact that the secretary $

attack Of the grippe, rumors have been
circulated persistently Of his retire

statement that these are baseless is
therefore authorized to put them TO

LATEST WAR NEWS.

SIMPSONS fleet has whiled away the
time while waiting for the troops by
pounding away at various Notifications
at Santiago and vicinity.
The great fleet of more than thirty
transports and dozen war ships with
$4,000 men arrived off Santiago Tuesday
after SIX days trip without incident or
accident and in pleasant weather. The
troops began disembarking next day at
points on both sides of Santiago without
serious opposition from from the Span
lards II is thought that there will be
severe fighting before Santiago is taken,
as the Spanish have a large army there.
Scouts say that Cervera is preparing for
dash out Of the harbor with the hope of
escape.
The third expedition TO the Philippines
will sail soon. Nothing new from Ma
nilla except that the insurgents are still
successful in capturing Spanish soldiers.
Manila is expected to capitulate as soon
as the first American troops arrive which
will likely occur at any time now as they
are about due.

NO PLAN NO NAVY.

For long time our government was
puzzled to know what the Cape de Verde
fleet under Admiral Cervera was going to
do. Later events has shown that there
was good reason for this, as it proved
that Admiral Cervera had no plans. He
was simply forced to sail because of the
popular feeling in Spain. The Spanish
had Systematically lied and deceived
their people as to the relative strength
OF the Spanish and American navies and
therefore Cervera was compelled to sail
with four cruisers and two torpedo boats
to meet fleet of at least four times his
strength, and in going to Santiago he did
the very best thing possible to prolong
the existence of his fleet, for while he is
completely and effectually bottled up in
that harbor, yet on the other hand it is
difficult matter to pull him out of the
bottle Since the sailing Of the first fleet,
there have been daily telegrams:of a Sec
ond terrible fleet fitting out, sailing out

is really not any stronger on paper than
the Cervera fleet, and for actual service,
except possibly one or two ships, is of
very little use. If the Spaniards had any
reserve navy they wouldn't have sent
Cervera over here with only four fighting
vessels. When Sampson captures these
four cruisers, or they are destroyed by
Cervera, what is left of Spain's navy will
be practically nil from battle stand
point. Two modern built, but probably
broken down battleships, three or four
iron-clads and dozen or
so of armed ocean steamships are all that
will be left. Spain is practically at the
mercy of the United States for the rea-
son that she has no available navy left.
She cannot reinforce Cuba even if she
had the men because she has no battle
ships to convoy the transports. And
Uncle Sam can take his time to finish the
war.

A registered bond is one of which the
ownership is kept on record at Washing
ton. 1t cannot be transferred from one
owner to another except the transfer is
made on the government books. This
sort of bond is the safest, because only
the owner can use it or receive the inter-
est. If lost, stolen or burned, the gov
ernment will issue duplicate.
A coupon bond is the most convenient
as it is payable, interest and principal to
bearer" and can be transferred from one
owner to another just like bank note,
but if lost, stolen or burned, the govern
ment takes no responsibility and the
loser stands the loss.
Applicants can get either kind of bonds
desired. Persons who may want to rea-
lize on their investment in short time
would find the unregistered coupon bond
the most convenient as they will "pass''
as conveniently as bank note. For
those who want long and safe invest
ment the registered bonds are best.

A. PATRIOTIC LOAN.

Elsewhere we publish some extracts
giving the principal features of a circular
issued by the department, on the new
popular loan to the government.
During the war of the rebellion, in the
darkest days, when doubt as to the per-
petuity of this government was felt all
over the world, the government made
direct appeal to the people for cash to
pay the expenses of the war and the re-
suit was grand success. The people
went to their hiding places, and brought
out their savings and took government
bonds in place thereof. Not only did
this help out the government directly in
financial way, but the moral effect OH
the financial centers and in the govern
ment circles of European nations was
equal in good results to series of VIC
tories by our soldiers. 1t showed the
patriotism of our people, and so empha-
sized their confidence in the government
and their determination to uphold our
nation, that foreigners realize the revers-
es of the North were but temporary, and
that in the end the South would have to
capitulate.
The necessities of the government at
the present time, are, we are glad to say,
nothing like they were at the time men
toned, but war is an expensive thing,
and while as yet Uncle Sam has a good
sized cash balance on hand, still it is 60
ing fast, and we know not how long the
vast expenditure may continue.
If you have little money laid by, that
you want to have absolutely secure with
small interest, there is nothing safer
than U. S. bond and at the same time
you will have the satisfaction of assisting
in a patriotic way, Uncle Sam in his pro-
secution of this present war for humanity,
