The second division, established a
little more than two months ago, pro-
ceeded almost Immediately to embark
for the expedition to Santiago. Arriv-
ing off that coast it was the first to dis
embark and the first American military
force to land on Cuban soil. Without
delay or waiting to secure ratons, bag
gage or other necessaries and conven-
iencies of any kind, the division pro-
ceeded to Siboney, compelling the garri-
son there to retire and capturing the
town. The division then resumed in
advance of the army its progress to-
ward Santiago, laboring day and night
amid trying conditions, in marches, re-
Connoissances and scouting, and while
covering the advance, fighting the de-
cisive battle of Ell Caney. Unique in
the character of it's defenses and i'm
portance of its situation, Caney was de-
Tended with stubborn resistance per-
mitting of no surrender and was carried
by a charge such as is made only by
American soldiers, killing, woundins
or capturing almost every Spaniard.
when overtaken by the dreaded
fever, your courage, cheerfulness anc
fortitude did not forsake you. When
the history of the war for Cuban inde
pendence is written the second division

Mexico is making rapid industrial
progress. On good authority it is
stated that within the past few years
she has more than doubled the num-
ber of her cotton factories, and that
she has scored marked achievements
in other directions. In 1896 not less
than 107 cotton factories i'll Mexico
paid taxes to the Government. Ot
these, three were knitting mills, four
were spinning mills, eighty-eight were
spinning and weaving mills, six were
spinning, weaving and printing mills
and six were printing mills. The
motive power of these factories aggre-
gated 1896 horsepower, and their
mechanical outfit comprised twenty
four printing machines, 1860 looms
and 448,15 splind!es. They en-
ployed 1894 men, women and chill
dren, and consumed 53,273,397
pounds of raw cotton. Half of the
cotton consumed was imported from
the United States and half was pro-
duced at home>

Discussing the influence of de-
tendencies upon the United States
and its policy, the Spectator says;
"The worlds future greatly depends
upon the political character of the
Americans. When, in 1850, they are
two hundred millions, they can crush
any people except the Slavs. To fit
them for that destiny the Americans
should have difficulties, dependencies
and complicated relations with the re,
mainder of mankind. At present
everything is too easy to them. They
live too much to themselves. They
must learn to govern as we'll as to be
governed, and must add to their
patriotism the English gift of cold and
lofty tolerance. They must keep
subordinate governments as free from
corruption as their Supreme Court"

A notable exploit which ought not
to be overshadowed by the glorious
deeds of Dewey and Schley was that
of Commander Todd and his little war
fleet off Manzanillo. Three Spanish
gunboats, three transports and a
pontoon or storeship were completely
destroyed, and with the usual report,
'no casualties. The fire Of the gun
boats and shore batteries failed to
reach Commander Todd's vessels, and
after completing the task assigned
him he steamed away and made re-
port which for modesty and good
taste exceeds that of the Admiral
himself.

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-THE board of
directors of the National league and
American association of baseball clubs
met here yesterday and sustained the
forfeiture to the Baltimore club of the
New York Baltimore game of July 25.
imposed a fine of $1,000 on the New
York club to be paid to the Baltimore
management, and directed the Balti-
more club to suspend Player Holmes for
the balance of the season. The New
York club was relieved of the payment
to the Baltimore club of any portion of
the gate receipts of that date.
In the dispute between the Philadel-
phia and New York clubs over an al
legged agreement for the sale of Catcher
Boyle to the latter club, the board di-
rected that the Philadelphia club had no
case, and the subject was dismissed.

Professor Wheeler of Cornell Uni
versity. in the Atlantic forecasts the
coming struggle for the mastery of the
world. He sets aside the Latin races
as unstable and unprogressive, the
Teuton Germany as lacking some
element vital to success. There re-
main England and Russia, the Slav
and the Anglo-Saxon, of which last we
are and must be part. And to the
Anglo-Saxon he looks for the future
world dominance in the interests of
civilization, humanity and progress.

He refused to be interviewed and will
say nothing more than that he is going

portunity. 1t is a significant fact that
while the fastest German cruiser has
brought General Augustin she brings
only a small package of mail for the
German consul. The consul is now in
Canton, and his mail matter remains un-
opened. The precise facts are not known,
but it is supposed that Augustin fed
from the Philippines.
The Spanish consul here has not yet
sent to Manila the news that the protocol
has been signed and probably the Span
iards at Manila will discredit the account
to be brought them by the Australian,
as she was chartered by the Americans.
The opinion here is that the Germans
have arranged matters with Captain
General Augustn. The insurgents now
at Hong Kong are not satisfied with the
terms of peace proposed by the Ameri-
cans.

If the report of General Augustin he
true and its accuracy is not questioned
here. the probabilities are that official
dispatches will be received by the gov

flight of General Augustin from Manila
created some amusing comment here.
