SCHLEY IN THE HARB0R
Our Commodore Pays a Visit to MORO

santiago de Cuba, July II delayed In
transmission).-Ate exactly 9 o'clock this
morning the Spanish flag was lowered
from the staff browning the heights up-
on which battered Moro Castle spreads
half way. The ceremony was witnessed
by the few Spanish and American troops
on shore and by the Brooklyn, New
YORK, Vixen and Vesuvius, lying within
few hundred yards of the harbor en-
trance Almost Immediately after the
nag had been hauled down steam
launches commanded by Lieutenants
Hobson and Palmer entered the harbor,
penetrating as far as the firing stations
of the submarine mines. Those mines
were judged to be not as formidable as
expected, and later in the afternoon they
were all exploded under the supervision
of the Vixen.
1t was seen that two mines had been
exploded at the time the Merrimac en-
tered the channel Of Santiago, but it is
not thought probable that they had any
thing to do with the sinking of the
craft. Six or seven fine steamships in
the harbor fall as prizes to the navy and
army. The Spanish gunboat Alvarez

Soon after noon Commodore Schley,
with Captain Cook of the Brooklyn,
Lieutenant ]. II. Sears, the flag lieuten-
ant; Lieutenant B. W. Wells, the flag
secretary, and three newspaper CORE
spondents, went into the harbor on a
steam launch, which moved slowly in
order to make close observation of the
Spanish forts and batteries. Every one
expressed satisfaction at the fact that

captain Cook of the Brooklyn is author
lty FOR the statement that the former
spanish flagship, the Infanta Maria Te-
resa. has floated off the reef on which
she stranded and that her heavy arma-
ment is practically uninjured. The cap
tain also says this cruiser will almost
surely be saved and form an addition to
the United States navy. a trophy of the
| glorious July 3.
The Cristobal Colon may also be
saved, though a good deal depends on
the weather, which is very uncertain
at this time Of the year. A heavy
storm might drive the cruiser so high
on the coral reef that it would be i'm
possible to float her. Many of the naval
men are outspoken in their criticism Of
the treatment of the Colon Immediately
after her surrender. They believe the
ship could have been saved when she
slipped back from the reef into deep
water had divers. carpenters and ma
chinsts, with competent prize crew,
been sent on board OF her.
Only Two Doomed.
The crew of the Brooklyn regarded the
Vizcaya as their particular enemy since
the time when they were both present
at Queen Victoria's jubilee display,
when there was much comment abroad
On what a good fight might be expected
between the two ships If they ever met.
Of the four big ships which were in Ad-
miral Cervera's fleet only two are sure
ly 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. gliding and bunting,
seeming to gloat over the ruin caused
while the people of Havana shouted
themselves hoarse, fired myriads of
bombs and Dragged increasingly of what
the two formida BILE armored cruisers of
Spain would do with the United States
navy should ever fair fight be possible.
Surely" remarked Lieutenant Com
mander Wainwright of the Gloucester,
formerly of the Maine, this avenges
the Maine!"
Speaking of the military victories of
July 1 and 2 and of the naval victory Of
July 8, Commodore Schley said serious
ly:
"These victories may serve not only
to deprive Spain of her colonial possess
sions, but to bring about a change of
frontiers in Europe. She cannot get
the terms now which she might have
had two months ago. What can she
hope for in six months more Of such
warfare? Whom the gods would de-
stroy they first make mad"

THINKING ALOUD.

A Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley and
Formed Friendship.
One Of the earls Of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice Of thinking
aloud, found himself In very awkward
predicament on certain occasion, If a
story told of him may be credited. He
was to spend the evening at the house
of friend and ordered his carriage
early, as he had long drive back to his
own home.
When the hour arrived, the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that Lord
Dudley was considerably annoyed by
the delay, one of the guests, whose way
homeward lay past his lordship's house,
politely offered him a seat in his car.
riage. The gentleman was almost a
stranger to Lord Dudley, but the offer
was accepted.
Tho drive did not prove very So
ciable one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and Immediately relapsed into silence,
his thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unpleasant subject. Presently he
began to speak in low, but distinctly
audible tone Of voice, and his compan-
ion, to his astonishment heard him say
"I'm very sorry accepted his offer.
I don't know the man. 1t was civil GER
tainly, but the worst is suppose I
must ask him to dinner"
Silence followed this bit of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon the
same unpleasant subject when the voice
of his companion broke the stiffness.
Apparently this stranger was afflicted
with the same malady from which his
lordship suffered, for he exactly initial
ed Lord Dudley's tone as he said:
"Perhaps he'll think I did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, l would have
done tho same to any farmer on his
estate. l hope he won't ask me to din.
ner, for shan accept his invitation. "
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gone. He listened to the others words,
Immediately compromising the joke
against himself, and frankly offered his
hand to his companion, making many
apologies for his involuntary rudeness.
The stranger proved magnanimous,
and from that night tho two became
fast friends YOUTH Companion.

Wrinkled and old are those hands At

bard and full Of the seams
OF labor and the years,
Knotted the knuckles
And creased and crinkled
The skin on the backs Of them,
Dark veined and large,
With splotches of brown
Between the drawn tendons,
As If scared by tears,
Thick the nails and blunted,
Rough and with little ridges
Running the length Of them,
Callous the palms
And lacking all pinkness and prettiness.
Old are those hands Of hers,
Wrinkled and hard.
But, oh, what story Of
Infinite tenderness
And love
Could they tell,
Those hands Of a woman
Whose threescore years anu ten
Have been passed in doing the good

Binding Irvine is going up in price

The rapid advance, according to one
of our local agricultural implement

twine is made comes from Manila and
of late the supply has been shut off
entirely. Last year at harvest time
twine retailed at eight cents. tbs now

steadily going up. By harvest time it
is expected that it will retail at twenty
cents. A certain Milwaukee dealer is
buying up all the twine he can get hold
of and claims be will not sell pound
of it for less than eighteen cents
Many farmers throughout the country
are holding off buying this years sup
