PUTNAM PHALANX.
Proposed Visit to Paris Exposition in
 Doubt

Doubt.
 The war has put damper on the proposed visit of the Putnam Phalanx to the Paris exposition in 1900. A com mittee was appointed at the annual meeting, but no action has been taken as yet. It is expected that when the war is over the matter will be agitated, as a good many members of the com mand are anxious to go, and some have for some time been saving money for the purpose. It is said that H. B. Phil brick and Charles E. Andrus have each agreed to give one thousand dollars to- ward a fund for the trip, and that an- other member of the company has of fered to give five hundred dollars. The plan that has been talked of Is to have trip of six weeks, to cost each man two hundred and fifty dollars. If @ large fund is raised part of it will be devoted towards assisting some who cannot afford to pay their whole share. There are a number who want to go, but it is quite an undertaking and will be the most expensive trip ever made by the Puts

DEATH OF DANIEL GRACEY OF
 CHESHIRE.

Meriden July 22.-David Graeey of Cheshire died at the local hospital last evening. He was brought to the insti- tuition some time ago suffering from gangrene. About week ago his limb was amputated in hopes of saving his life, but his vitality was not sufficient to recover from the strain of the opera tion, as he was over eighty years of age. The doctor says that he would not, however, have lasted so long as he had but for the operation. He leaves a son, David James Gracey of this city, and two daughters, one in New York and the other in the west.
 His remains were taken from the hos pital to the undertaking apartments of c. M. Sturgis, where the funeral ser vices will take place tomorrow after noon. The burial will be in the West cemetery.

BLANCO ON THE FALL OF SANTI-
 AGO.
The Captain General Issues a Procla-
 nation to His Army.

The Captain General Issues Procla-
 nation to His Army.
 Havana, July 22.-Captain General Blanco has issued the following procla- nation, announcing the equalization of Santiago. It is dated HavaRa, July 1T:
 After three months heroic defense and many bloody combats, owing to a scarcity of ammunition and victuals, the garrison of Santiago de Cuba has been forced to capitulate under honor- able conditions and with all the honors of war. This occurred on July 16, when it was recognized by the brave Spanish general of division, who was acting commander of the place, that resistance was useless and that he could no long CT hold the place. Notwithstanding that endorsements were possible, and that he could receive such from Manzanillo, and that he could still stand further losses in a combat, and although he might put the city in a better condition of defense, he was still face to face with the fact that endorsements would only make further inroads upon the already greatly consumed and nearly exhausted store of provisions of the Spanish gar- rison. The city was thus placed in a very lamentable condition. The situa- tion was anticipated, but caused great depression to the Spanish forces.
 'The occupation of the city of Santia- go by the military forces of the Ameri- cans is lacking in strategic importance owing to the fact that the city had previously been closely blockaded for a long time by the American ships, and will have little or no effect on the fu- ture development of the Spanish cam paign, which is to decide Spains fate. The Spanish army is intact and eager for glory. It is willing to measure arms with the Americans, and in this army the King of Spain, the Spanish government and the whole country places it's trust for defense at any cost of the integrity of Spanish terri tory and the honor of Spains immacu- late flag.
 This army is sure to be triumphant and victorious at the last, in spite of so many dangers and impediments, and to show once more the indomitable Spanish character and the well known military talents of our people. This is the hope and expectation of your general-in-c -chief. Blanco."

ENGLISH NAVAL INCREASE,
Announcement of the Supplementary
 Naval Programme

Ol lHS ouPPASAhlNNtS'AS
 Naval Programme.
 London, July 22-The eagerly await ed statement of the first lord of the ad- miralty, George J. Goschen, on the sup elementary naval programme, was made to-day in the house Of commons, He reviewed the original programme which was considered sufficient, when it was framed, being based upon the tWo-poWer system, that the navy or Great ritain must be equal to the com bined fleets os any two powers. But, in consequence of the action of Russia on the same system, the government was compelled to present a supplement tary programme, paralleling the Rus sian increase of six battleships which Russia proposed to begin in 1898. Only two battleships were taken into account in the original British programme, and the first lord of the admiralty now asked the house to grant four more battleships. (Cheers).
 Continuing, MT. Goschen remarked: 'The Russian programme provides for four cruisers. We propose to build four (cheers) and also twelve destroy CTS. It is estimated that the cost of the new programme will be GS,000,000 ($4O, OO,O0O), making the entire expen- diture for the new ships 15,000,000 ($75,OO0,000). The battleships will be es- pecially adapted for the passage of the Suez canal"
 MT. Goschen pointed out, during the course of his remarks, that her ma JeSty'S government desired Europe to note that the proposal was not aggress- i've but essential to maintaining prin- ciple laid down. Nor was Russias ac- tion menace to Great Britain. She had the right to build such fleet as she thought her position required.

How dear to our hearts are the Fourths
Of our childhood, as fond recollection
presents them to view. The picnic, the
flags that we're dropped in the wildwood
and zen the firecrackers which our in
fancy knew. The bald headed man who
read the Declaration, and moPped great
beads Of sweat from his shining pate;
the fat fellow congested with an oraticn,
who made us most weary Of anything on
the slate. We think Of the band and the
music 1t killed, and how each one receiv-
ed their full moneys worth. Our eyes
were with dust, and ears with noise filled
but everything went at the old fashioned
Fourth. The creased pig and creased
pole, the shell-game nigh il; the sack
Fscs in which the runners all fell fat;
the cane-stand, the shooting gallery close
by it. and cen the rude benches on
which our first swssthsarts sat. Then
in the eve came that display OF fireworks
the likes of which never have been since
that night; the rockets and candles in
memory still turks. though many are the
years since they skyward took flight.
The old fashioned Fourth that has for
ever gone, to the shades of the morning
where youths joys have flown.
