EXTRA, IOWA.

DEs MONIES, July 16.-The last ses-
sion of the legislature intended to in.
crease the annual appropriation for the
state veterinary surgeon from $4,000 to
$4,000, and it passed law stating that
section 1886 is amended by striking out
the word three" in the third line and
inserting the word ''tive' in lieu thereof.
The auditor of state examined the law
and found that the word "three" does
not appear in the third line of the sec
ton and that it is in reality in the sec
ond line and he sent the state veterinary
the following notice: "The word three
does not appear in the third line of sec
ton 2536, but appears i'll the second line
and therefore the act of the legislature
does not amend the section and your
appropriation will remain as heretofore,
viz, $3,O00.'' The case is one of the
most peculiar on record.

swung une aoomeu ship alongside IN
stead of athwart the channel, the latter
would have been well blocked.
Commodore Schley then said he was
determined to have glimpse of Santi-
ago city and the launch was headed
along the west side Of the channel.
Punta Gorda was rounded and distant
about two miles Santiago city shone
out, the cathedral being especially well
defined, and the masts and tunnels of
not a few vessels showing at its wharves.
At that distance Santiago did not show
any traces of the destruction wrought
by the 101 out of the 106 S-inch shells
fred on the city last Monday.
Returning to the Brooklyn, Commo,
dore Schley, accompanied by his staff,
entered the harbor this evening soon
after the mines were exploded.
Captain Cook OF the Brooklyn is au-
thority for the statement that the former
Spanish flagship, Infanta Maria Teresa,
has foated off the reef on which she
stranded and that her heavy armament
was practically uninjured. The captain
also says this cruiser will surely be saved
and form an addition to the United
States, IA trophy of the glorious July g.
The Cristobal Colon may be saved,
though good deal depends upon the
weather, which is very uncertain at
this time Of the year The crew of the
Brooklyn regarded the Vizcaya as
their particular enemy, since the time
when they were both present at Queen
Victoria jubilee display, when there
fight might have been expected between
the ships if they ever met. OF the four
big ships who were in Admiral Cervera's s
eet only two are surely doomed to
destruction. They are the Vizcaya and
the Almirante Oquendo, and these, as a
coincidence, were the two cruisers
which went into Havana harbor after
the blowing up Of the Maine and were
moored near the wreck of the United
States battleship in all the bravery of
paint, guiding and bunting, seeming to
gloat over the ruin caused. "Surely,"
remarked Lieutenant Commander Vain
wright of the Gloucester, formerly of
the Maine, this avenges the Maine"
Speaking of the military victories of
July / and 2, and of the naval victory
on July 3, Commodore Schley said SER
iously: "These victories may serve not
only to deprive Spain of her colonial
possessions, but to bring about change
of frontiers in Europe. Spain cannot
get the terms now which she might have
had two months ago. What can she
hope for III six months more of such
warfare? Whom the Gods would des-
troy, they first make mad -

SABULA, Ia, July 16.-The recent re-

the brutal murderer of Nina Kiel, had
gone insane appears to be entirely with
out foundation. In a letter received this

Carlists Ready For Revolution.

LONDON, July 2O.-The English Carl
lists are most active and in hourly ex-
pectation of momentous news. The
leader Of the organization here says:
''We are quite ready for active opera
tions. Moreover, there is no doubt the
authorities at Madrid are aware that "a
Carlst rising is imminent and that it
would be successful. We are immensely
strong in many parts of Spain, and as
soon as the truth of the cowardly sur
render of Santiago de Cuba percolates
our forces will be greatly increased"

Country surrendered indicated by dark
portion.l
General Shafter and his escort accom-
panied by General Toral rode through
the city, taking formal possession. The
city had been sacked before they ar
rived by the Spaniards.
At the palace elaborate ceremonies
took place. At noon the American flag
was raised over the palace and was sa.
luted by 21 guns of Captain Caprons S
battery At the same time all the reg
mental bands in our line played "The
Star Spangled Banner after which
President McKinley's congratulatory
telegram was read to each regiment.
The Thirteenth and Nineteenth regi-
ments OF infantry will remain in the
city to enforce order and exercise mu-
nicipal authority.
| The Spanish troops are to encamp out
side of our lines.
General McKibbin has been appointed
temporary military governor. The
ceremony of hoisting the stars and
stripes was worth all the blood and
treasure it cost A vast concourse of
| 10000 people witnessed the stirring and
thrilling scene that will live forever in
the minds of all the Americans present.
A finer stage setting for dramatic cpl
sode it would be difficult to imagine.
The palace, a picturesque old dwelling
in the Moorish style of architecture,
faces the plaza de la Reina, the prin-
cipal square. Opposite rises the i'm
posing Catholic cathedral On one side
is quaint, brilliantly painted building
with broad verandas, the club of San
Carlos. Another building of the same
description is the cafe de L Avenues.
Across the plaza was drawn up the
Ninth infantry, headed by the Sixth
cavalry band. In the street facing the
palace stood picked troop Of the Sixth
cavalry with drawn sabers, under COM
mand Of Captain Brett. Massed on the
stone tagging between the band and
the line of horsemen We're the brigade
commanders of General Shafter's di-
vision with their staffs. On the red
tiled roof of the palace stood Captain
McKittrick, Lieutenant Miley and
Lieutenant Wheeler. Immediately
above them, upon the Flagstaff, the
Illuminated Spanish arms and the
legend viva Alfonso XIII" All
about, pressing against the veranda
rails, crowding to windows and doors
and lining the roofs were the people of
the town, principally women and non
combatants.
AS the chimes of the old cathedral
rang out the hour of IL, the infantry
and cavalry presented arms. Every
American uncovered and Captain Nc
Kittrick hoisted the stars and stripes
AS the brilliant folds unfurled in a gen
tie breeze against fleckless sky, the
cavalry band broke into the strains Of
':The Star Spangled Banner" making
the American pulse leap and the Amer
ican heartthrill with joy.
/ At the same instant the sound of the
distant booming of Captain Capron s
battery firing salute of 21 guns drifted
in. When the music ceased from all
directions around our line came floating
across the plaza the strains of the regi-
mental bands and the mufaed, hoarse
cheers of our troops.
The infantry came to order arms a
moment later, after the flag was up
and the band played "Rally Round the
| Flag, Bows"

DYNA MITE IN HER HOLD.
Bark Santiago Clears for Callno with . Cargo
or EXplosives.

or Explosives.
The bark Santiago was hauled up alongside
of Lehigh Valley Railroad pier d in Jersey City
between 8 and 8 O'Clock yesterday morning, and
shortly afterward a freiLh hit car which had been
lying in the yard for several days was switched
down. A gang of freight handlers prepared to
transfer the contents Of the car to the bark.
On either side of the car were cards bearing
the inscription in red letters: Powder. Handle
gently" The car contained boxes about three
feet long and twelve inches wide. They were
marked, Dynamite" Explosives" Handle
gently" They were also marked, "Callao,
Peru but did not bear the name of any con.
signce.
1t was learned that the boxes had besn shipped
gestions were freely offered that the explosives
were destined for Spain. In the office of the
freight department it was said that tho car was
billed to Jersey City, and the ultimate destina-
ton of its contents was not known. 1t was also
said in the office that shipments of powder and
dynamite are not unusual The boxes were
carefully passed from the car to the vessel and
lowered into the hold. The mate of tho Santiago
superintended the transfer. o.
A. christensen, tho Captain of tho Santiago,
said that he had instructions to deliver tho cargo
at Callao. 1t was possible, he said, that his in
structions might BIO changed. Capt. Christian
sen said he did not know where the powder and
dynamite came from, and he did not know
who the consignees are. G.. Tobias & Co. of 66
New street, the agents, had not taken him into
their confidence.
The transfer of the explosives was completed
shortly after 2 o'clock, and the Santiago went
away an hour later. She had cleared for Callao.
