CURRENT MISCELLANY.

Guanajuato, you must know, is one
Of the oldest and richest silver mining
districts in the world, Founded nearly
$50 years ago, this picturesque Mexican
city has produced more than $1,000
900, 900 in bullion and is not tired yet
In 1897 a Spanish miner invented in
Mexico the cheapest and simplest meth
cd yet known for reducing silver ores
the so called "patio process by which
the great bulk of the silver Of Mexico
and Peru has been extracted for so many
centuries. To this day the great hacien-
das for patio reduction are among the
most interesting features of the great
silver camps of Spanish America. Each
hacienda is little walled city, with
its strong ramparts and corner towers
loopholed for muskets, its huge sheds
for the primitive ore grinding, its pleas
ant offices and home for the administra-
dor, it's quarters for employees, its sta
bles for hundreds of mules and it's enor-
nous stone slzillets wherein the hughest
omelets in the world are cooked.
Torta in Spanish America is the usual
word for omelet 1t is literally q ''cake, "
and "of eggs is implied But the min.
ers use it specifically for the ''omelet'
of wet ground ore seasoned with the
necessary chemicals to assemble the sill

mud pie.-Harper's Round Table.

Value and Uses Of Cottonseed Waste.


Cotton seed waste, which genera
ton ago accumulated at the ginhouses,
filed up the streams, rotted in the fields
and became an irritating nuisance, is
now worth about $50, 100000 a year, :"
writes William George Jordan on
Wonders of the Worlds Waste" in
The Ladies' Home journal Every
bale of cotton leaves legacy of half
tone of seed, which, it is said, brings
the planter nearly as much as his cot
ton The oil is used for finer grades of
soap. as substitute for lard and is SO
near olive Oil that an expert can hardly
detect the difference The bulls are fed
to cattle, make an excellent fuel, are
valuable as paper stock, and when burn
ed the ashes make fertilizer which is
most efficacious 1t has recently been
discovered that cottonseed oil, with the
addition of Is per cent of crude india

Washington. July IL, noon.-seere-

Mahan and Captain Crowninshield of
the navy board are now in conference
with the president at the White House.
Secretary Long stated on reaching the
White House that in his opinion the

Admiral Sampson would have reported
which he had not done.
On leaving the war conference at
o'clockSecretaryLong said that nothing
had been received indicating that a
decisive engagement was on at Sanu-
ago on the part of the army or fleet.
In answerto an inquiry. the secretary
said that he expected to get news OF the
fall OF Santiago at any hour, but
added that his expectation was based
largely upon his hopes. The indica-
tions are that all truces are off and
that the final struggle may even now
be in progress.

FROM
GEN. SHAFTER

washington, July 1.-THE war de-
partment to-day made public three dis
patches from Gen. Shafter, received
in the early hours of this morning and
about o'clock this afternoon.
The following was received at 1870 a.
M: Playa del Este--The navy has
promised after the bombardment be-
gins TO get in close TO the harbor with
some OF their light draught boats. IL
the bombardment tomorrow (o-day)
is not quickly conclusive, they will
make the attempt. AS soon as Henry's
reinforcements arrive we will surround
the town and knock IL 10 pieces without
light guns. Capt. Goodrich of the st.
Louis assisted me very ably in disem-
barking troops"
Twenty-three minutes after the fol-
lowing was received:
My plans for tomorrow are to keep
up the bombardment of the trenches
and city and complete the investment
on the northwest by the troops which
have just arrived at Siboney, one regi-
ment of which the First Illinois, has
now reached me-
Soon after noon to-day the following
was received:
II regret to report that Capt. Rowell,
Second Infantry, was killed late yester-
day afternoon"

THUNDER STORM
DURING FIRING.

When the bombardment began a
heavy rain storm was in progress. with
thunder and lightning. but artillery fire
could be heard on shore indicating that
Gen. Shafter had resumed hostilities
Immediately on the ending of the ar
mistice.
Following the roar of Commodore
Schley's guns could be heard the
chrieking of the shells as they sped on
their way to the doomed Spanish city.
Then came long echo from the hills
back of Santiago. and sometimes peal
of thunder prolonged the reverberation
and gave the impression that the city
was bombarded from sky. sea and land.
The situation must have been appall-
ing to the Spaniards. and IL Gen. Shaf-
ter made the demonstration for the
moral effect which it would have on the
wavering enemy, he probably attained
this end.

WIENER WON.
Musnick Sued Him For $45 on Ac.
count of Horse Trade.
Plaintiff Claimed III. Horse Was Not as
Represented by Seller.

1t was as fine a specimen of horse
flesh as ever stood in Kane street, when
looked on from a safe distance, ad-
mitted Simon Musnick in the Sixth
District Court. when speaking OF
horse he had purchased of John Wei
ner OF Pawtucket two months or so
ago. The reason Simon made this
statement in the court was that after
he had the horse a little time 1t de-
and the result of an exhibition of the
animals proficiency was two holes in
Mr.. Musnick's leg. Mr.. Musnick paid
$40 for the horse and got a wagon and
harness thrown in, besides a riding
lesson.
The horse when 1t was driven into
Kane street, which is one of the lanes
running off Gladstone avenue, that is
about as wide as a three-foot rule is
long, looked so good that Musnick
wished to drive II around bit, but
Weiner, who had the sale In hand, said
he would teach Musnick how TO drive
IL. The lesson was given and Musnick
claimed he had no chance TO try the
horse, and that not only did Weiner
deny that the animal kicked. but said
1t was as gentle as IL looked.
A day or so after, while Musnick was
driving the steed, IL kicked and for a
time Musnick had dreams. When. af-
ter weeks attendance at the hospital,
Musnick felt we'll enough to travel he
went to Pawtucket and had an in
terview with Weiner and he claims the
latter told him If he would lose SO the
sum of $50 would be paid back to him.
Musnick did not want TO lose more
than S. after thinking over the visits
TO the hospital and the loss of an
average earning OF SIS week for five
weeks. so the compromise did not take
place and hence the law suit. Mus
nick denied on DISCRIMINATION that
IL was his brother. not he. that bought
the horse, but the defendant, Weiner,
swore that he sold the horse to Sim
on's brother. and on this point he was
SO well corroborated that Judge Sweet
land gave decision for the defendant,
WeineA for costs.
