Santiago has surrendered on terms
eral Miles. The conditions agreed
upon include the surrender of all of
the Spanish forces and war material
in the vicinity of Santiago, the United
States agreeing to transport all of the
Spanish troops to Spain as soon as
possible. The Spaniards are to leave
all their war material in as good condi-
ton as VIII en- the surrender occurred.
There was hitch in the program for
a time but everything has been set
tied and the American flag has been
hoisted over the city ere this.

SPAIN'S FINANCIAL COLLAPSE.

1t is estimated in Madrid that tn,
war is costing Spain S2S, 5000, 900 &
month in direct expenditure, no,
reckoning indirect cost.
Since April the Bank Of Spain has
advanced S40,OOO,OO0 on Treasury
bonds, taking mortgage on the rev
enues, and S75.OOO,OOO on a nominal
S200,OO0,0 900 of Government per
cents, worth about 500, 900, 900 in the
London markets.
Thus Spain has borrowed $115, 900, :
600 for which she sacrifices her reve-
nues and promises to pay S24O, 600, 900
besides interest. The sum thus Sc
cured will last barely four months
from April, or, say, till Sept. 1.
In the mean time, in order to secure
even these small loans, Spain has per-
mitted the bank to increase its issue
of deprecated notes so enormously
that tinanciers everywhere regard the
collapse Of the bank Itself as an i'm
pending event, and SO closely are the
banks affairs and the national fnan-
ces connected that the banks collapse
would involve that of the Treasury it
has so long and SO painfully support
ed.
From the first every fnancier in
Europe has seen clearly that Spain
dould not carry on war with the u. S.
without invoking financial ruin. Now
every financier sees that Spain can
not long continue the war even at
that risk. The time draws near when
she will not be able 10 buy food or
arms or a nm unition for her troops,
or to pay for their transportation
from one point to another
So the financiers and bankers and
business men of Spain are added to
the list of those who call upon the
Ministry to make peace as the only
means Of preventing universal bank
ruptcy throughout the kingdom.-N.

Princes slow to Marry.

Heirs to thrones seem incHnednowa- days to prolong their baehelorhood instead of starting in quest of the fairy princess as soon as they are out of their teens. The present czar, the prince of Naples, Prince Christian of Denmark, the late duke of Clarence, the duke of York, all fingered on the way, as though something were not quite to their minds. The Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria is yet un- wed. Prince Alfred of Coburg and Prince Albert of Belgium, each in his 24th year, are still bachelors, though the death of either might bring about tiresome dynastic complications. Per chance their highnesses enjoy the fuss over them by mothers of marriageable princesses, and the uneasiness dis played by their own folk when firta- tions with lovely baronesses and actresses are reported. Maybe, they refuse to settle down unless a few debts are paid without question, and a most handsome allowance Is guaran- teed. Anyway the heirfsh is difficult to land.--N. o. Picayune.

GIVEN BY TREES.

Tar distilled furnishes wood vinegar, creosote and pitch.
 The cinchona is robbed of it's bark for the sake of the quinine which it contains.
 Car and tram wheels have been made of wood pulp and it is taking the place for roofing of corrugated iron, tiles and slates.
 Vanillin, an artificial substitute for vanilla, is made from the sap of the Scotch pine, while kind of rubber has been obtained from the common birch.
 Some industrious statistieian has calculated that in the United States 100000 cords of maple are used annu- ally in the manufacture of shoe pegs and 8O,00o cubic feet of pine in making matches.
 Charcoal factories yield other prod ucts than charcoal, notably wood naphtha. In some the smoke given off Is used as fuel. On the continent the hopbine, which we burn to waste over here, is used in the manufacture of textile fabrics.
 1t is curious to note that wood tar Is prepared just as it was in the fourth century before Christ. A bank is chosen and hole dug into which the wood is placed covered with turf. A fire is lighted underneath and the tar slowly drips into the barrels placed to receive it.
 Wood has had an important influence on the papermaking industry. Young saplings, which before were not worth cutting down for fuel, can now be con- verted into pasteboard. A tree was cut down in Galveston, Tex, at ten o'clock in the morning and converted first into pulp and then into paper, by six o'clock in the evening. At six o'clock the next morning it was being distributed as a daily paper.

A JIJMBLED LOT.

The drill of the Roman soldier was exceedingly severe. It comprised not only the use of weapons, but running, jumping, climbing, wrestling, swim- ming, both naked and in full armor.
 There are now 34 centenarians in Europe, of whom g are women. Sta tistics show that for every two male centenarians living during the last ten years there have always been three females over 100 years Of age.
 The bottom of the Pacific between Hawaii and California is said to be so level that railroad could be laid for 800 miles without grading anywhere. This fact was discovered by the United States surveying vessel engaged in making soundings with a view of lay ing cable.
 The erookedest brook in America is the No-Name Pond brook in Maine, be- side which an electric road runs for some distance below Crawleys. The Congo is no instance to this crooked little stream. It is so crooked that suckers caught there have curvature of the spine.
 War correspondents were employed as far back as the time of Edward II. Scribes specially commissioned were sent up with the English army which invaded Scotland at that time. But, incredible as it may sound, not one of the London newspapers was specially represented at the battle of Waterloo.
 Books used by the blind are very ex- pensive. Most of them cost about four dollars each. The Bible, in raised let ters, is comprised of 40 thick volumes, the price of which is $25 dollars for the set. This is an exceptionally low price, because the Bible seems to give more solace to the blind than any other book.
