should attempt to make CienfucGoS it was
believed Commodore Schlcv would be able
to intercept him. At Santiago it was i'm
possible for Cervera to land supplies for
Blanco, as Havana is 500 miles away and
there is no railroad communication between
the two cities.
A Madrid special to tho London Chron-
icle announced that after getting coal and
water at Santiago de Cuba Admiral Ger

A correspondent AZ San Domingo City
cables that the Spanish Governor OF Porto
Rico wired to the Spanish Consul-General
ut San Domingo that a Spanish squadron
(Cerveras) had arrived at Santiago, Cuba.
The Spanish Senate unanimously adopt
cd n resolution extending congratulations
to Admiral Cervera
Berlin newspapers regard Cervera's en-
plot OF running into Santiago strategic
victory over Sampson, the result OF bril-
liant seamanship and Il distinct gain for
the Spanish cause.
The London Chronicles despatch from
Kingston, jamaica, says that four vessels
OF Schley's squadron renewed the attack
on Santiago de Cuba, that the bombard-
ment was heavy and the result in doubt.
Cuban refugees ut Kingston report that

and Castillo are closing in on Santiago de

TIE OREGON A MARVEL.
After Wonderful Trip the Floating Fort
ress is Safe In Home Waters.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Special. bat
tleship Oregon has now passed the danger
line and has joined her sister ships in Cuban
waters. The big battleship was seen and
reported by the United States Consul ut
Barbados, passing that point at full speed.
The fact that she did not put In there Is
simply proof that Captain Clark was in no
need of coal and was not letting the bar
nacles grow on his ships bottom while
running to the assistance Of Sampson and
Schley.
The Oregon left Bahia, Brazil, on Nay 8
and covered 257S miles between that point
and the Barbados within eleven days.
No apprehension is entertained that the
battleship will run out OF coal, rs Captain
Clark, her commander, ..before the depar-
ture OF the vessel from Bahia loaded her
bunkers to their utmost capacity and be-
sides took on "a deck load in order that
there might be no need for his stopping at
any OF the West Indies to renew his supply.
1t was flfty-seven days ago when this
great floating fortress OF steel left San
Francisco. Since that time she has trav-
ersed nearly $1,000 miles OF sea, passing
through every climate, from north temper
ate totorrid. to south temperate to frigid
to south temperate aud torrid again, and
finally into our own waters.
On one stretch % 6200 miles she steamed
continuously without stopping for coal or
for anything else.

Judging from o recent article ii q
leading English magazine, the politi-
cal job is not as unknown in Great
Britain as some Of our fellow country
men would have us suppose. There is
at present scheme on foot to build
over and remodel q large portion Of
Westminster, the district of London
in which Parliament Houseis situated.
New streets are to be opened and old
ones closed; houses are to be pulled
down and new ones erected. 4 bill
has been prepared which Parliament
is expected to pass that will give the
promoters OF the scheme the right of
eminent domain in the section to be
improved; and while the bill contains
provisions for the preservation of his
toric churches and other like edlfces,
it places no restrictions on the sort Of
buildings that are to surround them,
or the sort of streets that are 10 ap-
proach them. The region contains @
large tenement district, and tits osteu-
sibly to clear out this district that the
undertaking is planned. But the tene-
ments are not especially unhealthy
and considerable sections not covered
by tenemcnts are included il the
scheme.

presence OF Admiral SIMPSONS warships
of that station, there were many reasons
to believe that the American commander
was in reality several hundred miles away
from Santiago. and that the zone OF naval
operations had been greatly narrowed by
Admiral Cervera's bold dash north.
Whether some single ship OF the Spanish
squadron merely touched at Santiago or
whether the Spanish Admiral carried his
whole command into the harbor is not de-
finitely known here. but for reasons OF
their own Navy Department officials,
though suspicious of naval news OF any
sort originating in Madrid, are disposed to
think that the Spanish forces have at last
cone within short range ofthe Cuban coast,
prepared to risk the relief OF Havana on u
single flght.
Admiral Sampson in despatch to the
Navy Department confirmed the Madrid re-
ports of the arrival OF Admiral Cervera and
his Cape Verde squadron at Santiago de

war is abroad and that it is war that
means business.
Fifty-three regiments OF volunteers are
modified here. In the way the army Is
being put into shape three briSades go TO
form q division and three regiments form
brigade. Three divisions are the reGula-
tion number placed in an army corps. AS
twenty-seven regiments will be consumed
in the organization Of corps, nearly, il
not quite, two corps, will be mobilized here.
The work Of organization IS now going
on steadily in Chickamauga Park, and or
der is being rapidly brought out OF the
seeming chaos OF the last few days. EX-
ercises in practical instruction are held
daily. Field and battle exercises are held
also. The time allotted to practical in
struction is divided among the various eX-
ercises at the discretion Of brigade or regl-
mental commanders, having due regard 70
the principle that short, brisk, spirited
drills give the best results.

A writer in the Shoe aad Leather
Reporter from Lynn, Mass, notes this
peculiar incident: A manufacturer en-
pleying cutters by the piece reduced
the prices for cutting. The workmen
accepted the cut. The manufacturer
then gave them stock to cut that cost
him two to four cents per foot more
than the kid he had been using. What
was the result? The men, under the
reduced scale of prices, using the bet
ter grade of stock, earned more wages
the first week under the new schedule
than during any week for months past.
The manufacturer did not put any
thing into his pocket by making tie
reduction. He made it go toward
purchasing a better grade OF upper
stock, with the result above noted.
Previous to the cut the men had to cut
a spongy and very unsatisfactory
grade Of skin, but under the new az
rangement they are provided with
stock that does not require planning
and stretching, thereby consuming
much time in the endeavor to get ont
satisfactory uppers. This was case
where themen displayed common sense
in accepting the reduction.
