ssTERsvILLE TYLER COUNTY W. vA JULY 1898

Cervera. A feeling of the highest
admiration prevails here at the gal
lantry displayed by the old warrior
and the noble spirit exhibited by
him under misfortune. The dispo-
sition is to treat him with as great
liberality as the conditions will
permit. 1t has been proposed that
he be released on parole, not to
engage in hostilities against the
United States until the end Of the
war, but it has not been decided
whether to do this, or to continue
the admiral technically within the
limits of the naval academy reser-
vation at Annapolis. All the other
captured Spanish officials will be
allowed to remain with the enlisted
men at the prison station, at Seavey
Island, Portsmouth harbor, New
Hampshire. The st. Louis is due
here tonight or tomorrow with the
first lot of prisoners, while the Har-
vard is just about to start from OF
Santiago with the remainder.
The report of the appearance OF
a Spanish receiver off the coast OF
British Columbia, which appears
to have created such commotion
on the northwestern coast, came
from one of the government agents
in that section of the world. More
over, the same person said that two
vessels were taking on coal at a
British Columbian port, which, 1t
was presumed, was intended for the
Spanish feet should it have made
its way into the Pacific ocean
through the Snez canal.
The failure of Congress to act on
the naval advancement special acts
may after all be beneficial as ena-
bling the President to arrange with
more deliberation and justice a
scale of rewards for meritorlous
officers.

Of Santiago de Cuba, via Playa
del Este, July II.-At half past 9
this morning, alter several range
finding shots over the ridge protect
ing Santiago from the sea, the
United States cruiser Newark
opened fire into the city with her
Aeight-inch guns.
The signal corps stationed on
the top of the ridge reported the ef-
fects of the shots.
The New York. Brooklyn and
Indiana participated in firing at in
tervals of FIVE minutes.
The bombardment lasted for two
hours, when General Shafter re-
ported that the shells were mostly
falling into the bay and doing but
little damage. The last shot, how
ever, struck a prominent church in
the heart Of the city which was
heavily stored with powder and
ammunition, causing tremendous
explosion. The extent of the dam
age is not known.
When the warships ceased firing
, and before General Shafter had be-
gun a land attack a flag of truce
was seen coming from the city.
The object of this was not known
at noon today when the correspon-
dent of the Associated Press left
the front.

west beyond the reach of our SOL
diers to follow. His dispatch writ
ten late last night indicates clearly
that he has been trying to COM
plete his line of investment SO as TO
prevent such an escape, and as he
appears to feel satisfied that he has
accomplished this, the final assault
will not be delayed much longer.
General Shafter is disposed to save
every life possible in the war, prob
ably having in mind the particular
Ily large proportion Uf killed,
wounded and missing compared to
the total strength of his army in
the battle of Caney, which the Of
hcials figures promulgated today
shows was exceptional in modern
warfare. 1t is to save our troops
that he desires to make free use
of artillery before the assault
proper begins, and also to secure
the co operation Of the navy in the
attack.
MORE SERIOUS THAN SUPPOSED.
The little artillery duel of yes
terday appears to have been more
serious in it's results than was at
first supposed by General Shatter
himself, for during the afternoon
he was obliged to report as one re-
suit the death Of Captain Charles
| W. Rowell, second infantry, one OF
the most gallant and popular Off,
GERS of the regular establishment.
Captain Rowell was born in New
York and appointed to the military
academy in 1870. He became
secoud lieutenant in 1874, first
lieutenant in 81 AMI was placed il
command Of the company which he
lied to his death in 1895. His death
caused deep grief among the officers
Of the department, who respected
him for his soldierly qualities as
manifested in his hard service in
the west.
The cable communication be-
tween Washington and General
Skaters headquarters has now
been gotten in excellent condition
so that it has been possible to re-
ceive at the department message
in twenty minutes afterit had been
dispatched by General Shafter
Colonel Allen who is in charge al
General Skaters end of the line,
has reported to the department that
he is now engaged in laying a cable
from Guantanamo to Playa del
Este, which will still further reduce
the time required for the exchange
OF communication.

Washington, D. c., July IL
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, command
ing the United States army, ar
rived off Santiago bay shortly after
noon today. Upon the arrival OF
the auxiliary crusier Yale, on which
Gen. Miles was a passenger, COM
munication was opened with Ad-
dmiral Sampson and the two
commanders were soon in confer
ence.
During the early afternoon Gen.
Miles landed at Playa del Este and
communicated with Gen. Shafter,
commanding the American forces
before Santiago, by telephone.
What the nature and result Of the
two consultations were is not dis
closed at the war department but
General Miles doubtless was placed
in possession Of all salient points OF
the situation from the view point
of both the navy and the army.
It is understood to have been
General Miles purpose to proceed
Immediately to General Skaters
headquarters at Siboney and after
discussing with Shaitcr the latter's
plan Of campaign, to make a per
sonal examination OF the American
position. 1t is not to be understood
that General Miles is to supersede
General Shafter in command Of the
United States forces before Santa
90. General Skater is operating
there under written instructions
from the secretary Of war, approved
by the President, and as long as he
is physically able to direct the
troops, he will retain his command.
A prominent official of the war
department said late tonight that
neither the department nor General
Miles had any desire to detract an
iota from the credit due to General
Shafter for the plans by which he
hopes to achieve victory at Santi-
ago.
The notably fast run made by the
cruiser Yale from Charleston to
Santiago, is particularly pleasing
TO the naval officials. She left
Charleston Saturday morning at 2
o'clock, making the run in trife
less than two days and a half. She
had on board the Sixth Massachu-
sets. one of the regiments Of Gen.
eral Garretson's brigade. The Co
lumbia, which left Charleston pTac-
tically simultaneously with the
Yale, carried one battalion of the
Sixth Illinois, also a part OF Garrett
sons brigade. So far as can be
learned at this writing, the Colum-
bia mas not arrived off Santiago.

EARLY ADVICES
From the Seat OF WAR Say Nothing
About n BOmbardm ment-Cause OF
Skaters Delay.

About N NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
Skaters Delay.
Washington, D. c., July IL
General Skaters report from ST.
boney, sent just before midnight
last night, caused officials in the
war department to wait all day
with the expectation Of hearing
that the bombardment Of Santiago
| had begun. No word to that effect
came, however, up to the time the
department closed, and though
there is little reason to doubt that
the general carried out the pro-
gyam of which he had notified the
department, it was regarded as pos
sible that he had consented to a
further extension under the flag Of
truce in view Of certain signs OF
weakening on the part Of the
Spanish commander.
General Miles, with additional
reinforcements, arrived off Santa
go today, and if a surrender has noi
heen secured it IS believed that the
assault upon the town proper will
be prosecuted at once with the
greatest energy and determination.
Tests made recently of the naval
ordnance gave very unsatisfactory
results when it was attempted to
project shells over the high hills
! from the open sea into Santiago
Ssty.
Possibly better results may be at
tanned tomorrow if they attack is
resumed then, but there is more
likelihood that the main reliance
will be upon such of lighter draft
vessels of Admiral Simpsons feet
as may succeed in getting closer to
the shore and in 2 better position
than the heavy battleships.
CAUSE OF SKATERS DELAY.
The officials here are satisfied
that what appears to be delay on
the part of General Shafter, was
really caused by his efforts TO car
ry out strictly the presidents in
junction to prevent the Spanish
army from escaping from Santiago.
He might have attacked the town
several days ago with the result
that if the Spaniards were over

His wife had asked him to hang a

do it "in jiffy."
you just get me the cord and
picture hook" he said to his wife,
'and tell the servant girl to run down
cellar and bring up the stepladder
and carry 1t into the parlor; and
where's those two little screw thing
a-ma-jigs that go into the back of the
through? Look them up for me; and
I'll need the gimlet to bore a little
hole for the screws. Somebody get
the gimlet or maybe l can drive them
in with the hammer Johnny, you
run down cellar and get the hammer.
Il don't know but a chair will be
better than the stepladder for me to
stand on. Somebody go out into the
kitchen and get me chair. l don't
want to stand on one of the parlor
chairs.
Got that cord? Just measure off
about the right length and fasten it
in those little things at the side.
There, now, there's your picture,
all hung up in good shape, and no
fuss about it. The difference between
us men and you women is that when
we have anything to do we go right
ahead and do it, and make no talk
about it."-Youth's Companion.

STOPPING THE RUN.
Ingenious Way of Saving tho Credit Of
Spanish Banks.

Ingenious Way of Saving the Credit Of
Spanish Banks.
A man who recently left Lisbon tells
an interesting story of the manner in
which the Bank of Spain checked the
run upon that Institution several weeks
ago. The circulating medium of Spain
consists of the notes of that bank and
the silver which is held to redeem them
to rs per cent, believe, of their par
value. AS the public were losing con-
fdence in the financial stability of the
government, crowds Of people took
their paper notes to the bank for re-
demption. Under ordinary circum-
stances, they will exchange silver for a
paper note without any delay, but when
the run commenced the managers
found it necessary to adopt some meas
ures to restore confidence and to save
the specie in their own vaults. 1t would
not do, Of course, for them to show the
white feather or refuse to redeem their
own notes, so they adopted an ingeni-
GUS plan which ultimately tired out the
people and stopped the demand for
coin. Thousands Of people surrounded
the bank-many of them were in bad
temper-and stood in lines several
blocks long awaiting their turn at the
cashiers counter When one of them
finally reached him and laid down the
note he wished to exchange for silver
coin, he was held for five or ten min
utes and subjected to cross-examina-
ton such as might have heen given
him by census enumeration. In the
meantime, a clerk wrote his answers
down upon blank form-his age, &C.
cupation, residence, birthplace, the
names of his parents, etc. Then he
was required to sign formal spplica-
ton for the exchange of twenty pesetas,
for example, in paper, for their equiva-
lent in silver. Then he was sent away
and told to return in three days.
On the third day the man would re-
turn and, after standing in line again
all day and all night, perhaps, would
reach the cashiers counter. He would
be required to bring somebody to iden-
tify him and to certify that he was the
person described in the paper present
ed. This took couple of days more,
perhaps, and finally he was given a
| certificate or draft upon another cash.
| Ter, who, he was told, would pay him
the money. This made 1t necessary for
| him to stand in another line for day
or two, and when he finally reached
| the proper place he would be required
| to sign receipt ard make an OATH OF
allegiance to the government and an
Endorsement of the financial saupduess
| of the bank. THIS by this circum-
locution arrangement man had to
waste seven or eight days to get a pa
per dollar changed into silver, and the
transaction was so tedious and compli-
Gated that each consumed fifteen or
twenty minutes. As there was emily
one cashier rot mere than forty or fifty
persons at the utmost could be served
in a day. and the i'plor finally sub
sided from exharsti.n

To confuse witness is generally an
easy task and lawyers know no easier
way than to make a witness explain
the meaning of his words, knowing
that very few people can do so with
out getting excited. Occasionally, a
victim resents nagging and answers
in spirited and unexpected manner
A lawyer was cross examining q
young girl Of rather naughty temper
She had testified that she had seen
the defendant shy a book at the
plaintiff, and the lawyer had seized
on the word.
"Shy-shy a book? What do you
mean by that? VIII you explain to
the court what the word shy
means?'
The girl leaned over the desk be-
meath the witness box, picked up
'aw book and threw it at the lawyers
head, who lodged just in time.
Il think the court now understands
the meaning of the word shy" said
the judge, gravely, and the girl was
allowed to finish her testimony with
out further interruption.-Tit-B
