WAR NEWS OF THE WEEK.

moment in the progress of the war
Lieutenant Hobson, with seven vol
unteers, ran the collier Merrimac
into the harbor of Santiago and
sunk her across the narrow chan
mel near the entrance, thus pre-
venting both ingress and egress to
the harbor Many shots were fired
ut the vessel from the shore batter
les, but without effect, and the men
on board escaped without injury,
except two who were slightly
wounded by flying splinters when
the torpedoes were exploded. The
men were all taken prisoners, but
the Spanish Admiral was so pleas
ed with the extraordinary courage
displayed that he sent a flag of
truce to Admiral Sampson, inform
ing him of their safety and Of
fering to exchange.
The Navy Department June G
posted a bulletin announcing that
Admiral Dewey reported the insur-
gents had been actively engaged
within the province of Cavite dur
ing the past week. They have won
several victories, taken about 1900
prisoners. fifty officers of the Span
ish troops not native. The Arsenal
of Cavite has been prepared for oc-
cupation by the United States troops
upon their arrival on transports
The Cadiz fleet has not left that
port, nor is it likely TO, being need
ed to prevent insurrection.
No troops have yet been landed
in Cuba, the policy of the Depart
ment being to make ample prepar-
alton to land q sufficient force in
Cuba, when the invasion is com
menced, but the embarkation of
5000 troops is expected to shortly
begin.
On Monday the American fleet
bombarded and silenced nearly all
the fortifications at the entrance to
the harbor of Santiago. The engage
ment lasted three hours and fifteen
hundred projectiles were thrown
by our ships, which riddled the de-
fences, and killed several Spanish
officers, out as the men deserted
their guns it is not thought the loss
was heavy The Spaniards showed
poor workmanship, and only hit
the battleship Massachusetts, once.
Her fighting top was struck. Not
one of our sailors was killed, and
only one, a man on board the
Suwannee, injured.
Admiral Sampson telegraphed the
Navy Department Bombarded forts
at Santiago de Cuba, half past seven
to 10a. M, June 6. Have silenced
works quickly, without injury of
any kind, though within 2O0O yards.
Admiral Cervera sent an official
dispatch to Madrid, that six Ameri-
can vessels bombarded the fortifca-
tions of Santiago and along the ad
jacent coast. Six were killed and
seventeen wounded on board the
Reina Mercedes three officers were
killed, and an officer and seventeen
men were wounded among the
troops.
During the bombardment five
hundred American troops were land

junction with the insurgents, driv

LONDON, May 24.-Lord Wolseley,
the commander in chief of the Brit
ish army, in conversation today said
The United States would make a
mistake in attempting to invade Gu
ba with the volunteers who are not
fully drilled and disciplined. If that
were done the United States might
expect heavy reverses when those SOL

TYPHOID FEVER.
Some Facts About the Dre""
md How IL II
Spread.

Typhoid fever is generally reg"i"e"
at the present day, along with eho'efa
md some other diseases, as belonging
10 the class of 'water-borne ane'
lions. In other words, 1t IS oeie'eu
hat the germs Of such diseases are
carried. and perhaps prophea'eu' ia
,y,ter There is little doubt that inns
theory of typhoid fever Is correct
and that in tracing any EXTENDED ePi-
,l.,nic NJ tbe disease 10 its source we
must first of all examine INTO inc 'o"
dition of the water supply.
pr;plsing water has been proved TO
H.. tho cause Of the spread OF typhoid
fever in many epidemics in this coun-
80 md England; but there is nttle
.omfort i'm this for those who habitual-
IL drink something stronger than wa
,sr because. although during an cpl
demic the drinking water may be made
safe by boiling. this is not enough.
If the water is contaminated the
germs may be introduced into the body
while brushing the teeth or washing
the face. Or, again, salads and fruits
which are eaten raw may be contami-
mated by the water in which they are
washed. Typhoid fever has sometimes
been spread in Il city whose water sup
pIy was above rcproach by means of
milk or ice.
Milk need not be watered in order to
become vehicle for typhoid germs;
the germs may be introduced into cans
and bottles while these are being
washed in water drawn from n con-
taminated well or brook at the CARRY.
Although destroyed by boiling. ty-
phod germs will resist freezing tenn
perature for n long time, and have
been found in ice cut from pond poi
soned with sewage containing the
bacilli of this disease.
Another means Of the spread Of ty-
phoid has recently been discovered In
oysters. Oystermen frequently place
oysters in brackish water near the
mouth Of creek or river in order TO
fatten them before them are brought
TO market. II this place happens to
be near the mouth of sewer contain
ing typhoid poison. or If the creek wa
ter be contaminated. the oysters will
take the virus within their shells, and
SO revenge themselves on those who
eat them raw.
In some pulling cases of typhoid
II has been supposed that the food
was infected by flies. which had car
ricd the germs a long distance on their
fcet--a strong argument for the prop
sr care of food in the fly season.
These are only few of the way.
in which this disease may be spread,
but they are enough to show that. so
far from feeling surprise that the dis
order should be so common, we may
rather wonder that we are not all its
enthusiastically Companion.

PAID HER FRIEND.
She Owed Her Good Turn ana
Promptly squared the
Account.

The first girl had been owing the
second girl good turn for nearly a
year. The second girl had invited the
first girl TO attend lawn party at
her house, stay all night with her,
and go on a wheeling trip in the morn
ing When they were dressing to-
gether on the evening of the party
the hostess triumphantly announced
that she had new organdie frock
for the occasion. and that it was as
precisely like the gown just laid out
by her visitor as could possibly be.
only mine has a pink slip for a
foundation. and your slip is blue, isn't
it?" she presently inquired.
"No." responded the visitor, who
had been looking troubled for few
moments. with happy smile. mine
is pink, too"
\ moment later she invented an ex.
cuse to get the other girl from the
common dressingroom for moment.
and. by and by. the hostess walled
that her foundation skirt was nowhere
20 be found. Hasty searching, anger,
tears. and the bitter donning of an
older gown followed. Through all the
unpleasant scene, the visitor, daintily
and perfectly gowned herself, behaved
beautifully.
Next morning as the two girls ex-
changed "reminiscences Of the affair
the visitor confessed her share in the
incomprehensibc accident of the
night before.
II discovered while YOU were talk
ing of your new gown" was her ex-
PLANTATION of the matter "that my slip

dressing-room all evening. and didn't
know what in the world TO do until
you gave me an idea by talking of the
color OF our respective foundations.
SO, while you were out of the room,
calmly slipped into yours. which was
hanging in the closet, and which just
fitted me, and | not only enjoyed the
party extremely, dearie. but also got
even with you for getting frock just
like mine. and for several other things
as well."-Chicago Times Herald.

has been is, Of course. Just 70 much
reduction Of our foreign debt.
1t being manifest then that we have
annual payments to make in Europe
Of from $4,000 900 to $500, 1000. 900. il
follows that the prices at which we
sell our products are of vast and vital
importance TO the American people
Making due allowance for the rise
OF breadstuffs last year, IL may still
be truthfully affirmed that the aver
age prices realized for our exports
were fully 40 per cent. below the prices
Of ls70-7i-72-73. Hence products sold
for 81 zoo, 100000 would have brought
al the former price-level So, 600, 600, 900.
The 5000, 0o0, 900 of imports at the same
higher range of prices would have been
worth 100000 900, and our balance,
instead of being sGO0.0o0,ooo. would
have been $1,000 100000. Deducting
the annual charges Of, say $500, 0oo, 900,
we would have had $500. 900 900 left TO
pay on the principal of the foreign de-
mand. Or. If the annual charges only
amount to $500 .000,0 900 there would
have been 5000, 100000 TO be SO applied.
II is easy to see that under such con-
ditions we could soon pay Off the en-
tire debt and become ourselves cred
| itor nation.
Having this great debt, with its an
nual charges TO pay, it is certainly
| good thing that we have so many prod
ucts to sell. With 100000 in de-
mands to meet, it is better for us to
have balance of 5000, 000 900 than one
of only $500. o0O, 900, because in the lat
ter case we would be sinking deeper
and deeper into debt, while in the for.
mer we may pay little.
But IL would be better still IL prices
were 80 or rs per cent. higher, because
it would greatly increase the balance
in our favor and thus tighten the bur
den of our debt.
since 1873 has been almost entirely
owing to the demonetization of silver
and the adoption of the gold standard
is scarcely denied by reputable au
thority in the world.
Hence the act was wrong, and IL Sc
il cannot be wrong to undo that wrong
bv restoring silver TO its former none
tary position.
Nay, more 1t is absolutely essentia
for us TO do so. The United States Il
very rich and productive country
but il is not rich enough TO permanent
ly stand such drain. 1t means in th'
end national bankruptcy and the pau
perizing of the industrial classes.
Understanding debt is. at the best
necessary evil. 1t is direct tax oil
productive industry, and has ruine'
millions of industrious, intelligen
men. But when the debt and interes
represent money that is rising in value
1t is infinitely worse, becoming al
insupportable burden under which tn
debtor class is doomed TO financial ant
industrial slavery.-National Bimeta'

Just so long as prices are stated in
figures representing multiples and
fractions of a common money unit the
number of such money units must de-
termine the exchange power OF the
individual unit If the combined gold
and silver of the world suflices to make
5000, 000, 900 money units, the value of a
single unit would be cnc-eighth bill
lonth Of the whole. But il one OF the
metals is outlawed and no money
units are made OF il md the other
metal will only make 4.000,OO0,o00
units, other things remaining un-
changed. the exchange power OF each
unit will be twice as great as before,
prices will be only onc-half as high,
and mortgage or bond win call for
money units twice as valuable as be-
fore. A thousand dollars means .
thousand money units of equal size.
II money units are all of thesame value
and equalize In value regardless of
the total number OF them in existence
and the total number that exists make
the worlds prices, il Is clearly evident
that the exchange power Of each unit
must vary inversely as the number OF
units is increased or diminished .--Sil.
