The otherday in Melrose a prominent
German was boastingly telling how his

when a patriotic fellow stepped up and
floored him with one blow, telling him
that that was sample of the way the

THE AWFUL GUNNERY,
Opinion of Spanish Understandable
Given by Eyewitness.

Given by Eyewitness.
Capt. Beach, the District Engineer Com
missioner, has brother on the Associated
Press boat Dandy, which vessel has been
in Cuban waters for several weeks In a
recent letter home the young man describes
Commodore Schley's first engagement with
the batteries of Santiago de Cuba The
shore batteries We're aided by the Spanish
fleet under Admiral Cervera within the
harbor, and young Beach writes that the
fight was very pretty one, he having a
good view of it about two miles distant
from the American feet, which was about
five miles off shore He says:
1T was simply wonderful to see how
close the Americans put their shots to the
mark and how rapidly they fired. 1t really
seemed as though not one shell was wasted.
The gunnery of the Spaniards was actually
comical. Sometimes they would miss our
when the American vessels We're in plain
sight and easy range. The sailors on our
boats, after the fight was over and the
Spanards were still banging away, would
watch for the Spanish shots and yell in de-
light at their awful shooting.
Il see no chance of our getting back to
Key West until after the Spanish fleet is
business, once the American ships get past
the mines at the entrance to the harbor,
and then the war will be over as far as the
south side of the island (Cuba) is concern
ed This place, Port Antonio, Jamaica, is
one of the most beautiful places I have
ever seen, but the telegraph system down
here is fearful and w6nderful thing The
methods of these people in doing business
are something awful They simply cannot
get move on then"

New York Exchanges Action VIII
Probably BE Followed Here

The question which has been raised
whether the broker or the customer I'm a
stock transaction is to pay the tax OF two
cents on every Slo0 of face value OF the
stock, which is levied by the war revenue
bill, has been settled by the governing
committee of the New York stock ox-
change. This action is of local interest. for
the reason that the governing committed

tion of the new law were referred will. it

Resolved, That i'm the Judgment of tho
governing committee any member of the
eGchanGe who. by agreement or otherwise,
ulfectly or indirectly, assumes or bears for
nus own account or relieves his principal

upon any sales or agreements fer sale OF
any stocks sold agreed to be sold for
account of such principal, rs guilty of a
violation of Article XIII of the constftu-
ton of the exchange, relating to commits
sions."
This means, it is stated. that the broker
will continue to receive his regular com
mission on all transactions, and will under
no circumstances, be allowed by himself
assuming the tax or any part of it, to give
his customer what in effect would be a re-
bate upon commissions
The governing committee also adopted the
following rule. recommended to il by a
subcommittee:
'on and after July /. 1895, all deliveries
for sales of stocks must be accompanied by
a sales ticket stamped in accordance with
the United States tax law"
Under this ruling the tax Is paid by the
sellers of stocks.

MAIL CLERKS SALARIES.
There VIII he No increases I'm Them
This Year.

No increases will be allowed in the sala-
ries of mail clerks during the present fis-
cal year.
This is the substance of an order issued
yesterday 10y Mr.. Perry Heath, first assist
ant postmaster general 1t has been Gus
tomary for postmasters throughout the
country to submit to the Postmaster Gem
eral on the first of each July a new roster
of the clerks in the respective offices to-
gether with recommendation for in
creased salaries. No attention will be
paid to these lists this year. The reason
given is that the heavy drains made by
the army fer experienced clerks to handle
the soldiers mail has SO depleted the
regular force that anything in the nature
OF an increase would take that much more
money from the available appropriation
an expense which the Post Office Depart
ment cannot stand. Towards the close of
the fiscal year, IL IL is seen that the ap-
preparation can stand IL, there will be
some increases, but none to those clerks
receiving 81 200 per annum.
