mite gun, which has been in position for
several days, is now in better working order

trenches when it opens fire.
Twelve mortars in one battery are
mounted and ready for use and they are re-
lied upon to do effective work in shelling
the city. Three batteries of artillery are
now posted on Ell Paso ridge, 2.4OO yards
from the town, and the Capron and Grimes
batteries are 1,5O0 yards to the north of
the road, in the rear of General Lawton's
division. In firing, the field guns will be
compelled to shell the town over the heads
of our own men, but the artillery officers saw
it can be done safely and without injury
to our soldiers. The dynamite gun has been
so placed that if will be able to enfilade
several of the Spanish lines.

Proposition May Be Submitted When the City
is Captured by Americans.
No Aid Expected from Powers Even if Peninsular
Ports Be Bombarded -Carlists Source of
Anxiety-Campos Not Ready to Quit.

MADRID, July 10-Information received
from the most reliable sources is to the eff
feet that the darkest pessimism pervades
Madrid officialdom. The hopelessness of the
war is finally recognized. The peace idea
now seems to predominate in the Cabinet
and negotiations are considered urgent The
Cabinet is likely to cohere until peace is
secured.
1t is now recognized that Santiago de
Cuba is completely beleaguered and cannot
hold out, owing to the lack of provisions
and munitions of war. 1t is considered GER
tain that the Americans will blockade Gu
ban and Porto Rican ports, cutting off their
supplies, while the authorities are convinced
that an American fleet is coming to the
peninsula. There is no confidence felt that
the powers will interfere, even if defense
less seaports are bombarded, and, therefore,
what measures of defense are possible are
being adopted.
Ell Impartial says the Carlists are a great
source of anxiety to the government. 1t

Gomez has asserted that there will be new
insurrection in Cuba against the Ameri-
cans, "as the Cubans believe the Americans
do not desire the independence of the ISL

Ell Liberal says peace is impossible if the
United States claims possession of Cuba
''The Spanish army is determined to repel
such claim, but, even should the army
cease to exist. there would be 10000 volun-
teers, fully resolved to uphold the Spanish
flag and to reject peace

are expected from the navy. Admiral
Sampson is quoted throughout the army as
saying that he will drop one shell into the
city every five minutes, and If that is not
sufficient to do the work he will drop one
into the city every two minutes. This fire,
in addition to what the land forces will turn
in, it is thought will be sufficient to reduce
the Spaniards to a point where they will
surrender.

Coast Signal Services work.

WASHINGTON, July 10-The auxiliary
cruiser st. Louis arrived to-day at Ports
mouth, N. H., with 800 Spanish enlisted
sailors and forty officers aboard. captured
from Cerveras squadron Her coming was
heraded by the United States coast signal
service. The fidelity with which the course
of the big ship was traced and reported to
the Navy Department at short intervals
from the moment she was first sighted off
the coast affords a striking illustration of
the perfection which this branch of the
naval service has attained under the ener-
getic direction Of Captain Bartlett. Every
life-saving station and every lighthouse on
the coast which sighted the ship flashed its
report by telephone and telegraph straight
into the headquarters of the service in the
Navy Department, where skilled operators
are on duty every minute of the day anc
night. The incident is gratifying as show
ing the remote danger of any hostile ship
approaching United States ports without
the knowledge of the Navy Department.
Admiral Cervera himself was among the
unwilling passengers on the st. Louis. He
will not remain at Portsmouth,. however,
but as soon as the enlisted men are landed
on Seave's island in the quarters prepared
for them at short notice by Captain Crow
ninshield, he, with the officers of his squad
ron, save the surgeons, who will be left with
the men, will be sent to Annapolis to be
confined within the limits of the Naval
Academy reservation. Captain Cooper, the
superintendent, has prepared very comfort
able quarters in the cadet buildings, and
will come to Washington to consult Secre-
tary Long as to the exact measure CT In
diligence to be shown his charges The
bringing of Admiral Cervera to the United
States does not signify that the proposition
to parole him has been finally dismissed
1t has been simply postponed for tlme'
though it may be surmised that the adE'lral
will be much more comfortable here until
the feeling of unnatural resentment dis
played against him in Spain has snDslded.

been bombardment of the city, General
Corbin replied: "You know as much about

should say, however, that the firing to-day
was but the preliminary to the more serious
business of tomorrow" This being the
case, the attempt to take the city will prob

Other dispatches received by the War De-
partment during the day reported that the
ST. Paul. with General Henry and his COM
mand and quartermaster's stores, and the
Catania, with the First District of Columbia
Volunteers, had arrived.
The belief is held by the best informed
officials that General Toral, the Spanish
commander, will surrender when he finds it
will be impossible for him to evacuate the
city. Upon what grounds this belief is
based could not be ascertained, but that IN
formation to that effect is in the hands of
the war officials there is no doubt. General
Skaters dispatch tonight shows that he is
engaged now in strengthening his position,
with final assault upon the city.

THE OCEANS AUTUMN TINTS.
Seaweed Is More Beautiful Now
Than Foliage.

All through the summer the ocean
has been harboring innumerable
plants, and its edges have been fringed
with a vegetation that seemed coarse
and unsightly to the eye. But now
that autumn has come, marsh grass
and seaweed have ripened and taken on
all the tiuts of the forest leaves. When
the tide goes out this margin of colors
deepens and intensifiies. In place of
the fringe Of meadow grass a border of
seaweed, flowerless plants orscryptogams
extend down to the waters edge and
far out on the floor of the ocean.
We never see the full beauty Of
these howerless plants until the
autumn's storms wash them up on the
beach. The finest and prettiest OF the
cryptogams hide themselves in the
deep water, where they grow and
blush unseen. Some of them grow up
on the rocks and lodges, others cover
the bottoms of ships; a few grow upon
the surface of the sea without any
other visible means of support, and
certain varieties, furnished with small
bladders, float about until they attach
themselves to whatever of vegetable
life they come in contact with. When
the storms blow the waves roll upon
the beaches laden with all these diff
ferent forms OF sea plants. They have
reached their full growth now, and
they are more worthy of collecting and
pressing than the leaves of the autumn
woods.
The beauty of these seaweeds cannot
be appreciated until they are fioated
in water or properly pressed upon
cards. As they come in on the waves
they look like great masses of mottled
green, red and yellow. Then, as they
are thrown upon the sand or rocks, the
sun dries them up and ruins their
beauty. 1t is necessary to gather them
quickly to retain their colors.
In the early spring the bright green
moses first make their appearance in
the water along the coast. AS the
season advances the red and brown
moses make their appearance, and the
tender green moses either disappear
or take on a richer hue. Late in sum-
mer and early in fall the bright yell
lows, scarlets and vivid reds tinge the
bottom of the sea with their brilliant
heads and sprays. If one could but go
down to the bottom of the sea with
q water glass, such as sponge divers
use, he would see brilliant scene
among the lsbyrinthine woods of these
howerless plants. Many of the pink
moses would be mistaken for flowers,
for their colors are fully as deep and
attractive as any bloom of rose bush or
lily stalk.-New York Sun.
