from their present commands. The de-.
tachment, it is said by the
naval authorities, will b. only
temporary. In the absence Of Admiral
Sampson, Commodore Philip will have
comamnd of the squadron OF vessels in
New York.
Repairs on the ships will be pushed
with vigor and as rapidly as possibl"
they will be put in excellent condition
for sea duty in either war or peace. No
determination has yet been reached bp
the naval authorities on tn" question
of reorganizing the naval squadrons on
a peace footing in view of the new con-
ditions which now confront the United
States. 1t is scarcely likely that any
considerable change will be made be-
fore a successful termination of the
pending peace negotiations shall have
been reached.
During the day few of the Of
ficials of the war department were at
desks for longer than an hour or
two. A little routine business was
transacted, but the officials generally
were taking a long-needed rest. Early
in the afternoon Adjutant General
Corbin received the following dispatch
from General Merritt:
Manila, Aug. 2l.-Adjutant General.

steamers Peru and City of Puebla. has
arrived; all we'll: no casualties.

This was the second dispatch ~roceiv-
ed from General Merritt since the
of the cable communication
with Manila, the first, received late last
night. announcing simply that cable
communication had been restored.

NOT A BILLION DOLLAR WAR.
There Will Be Money Left Over From
the Appropriation.

lHe Appropriation.
Washington, Aug. 21.-The expenses
OF the war against Spain will prove to
be considerably less than is generally
supposed and will not approximate the
billion dollar mark" When accounts
made necessary by the war between the
United States and Spain are settled
said Assistant Secretary Vanderlip of
the treasury department., at will be
found that the war has cost a great
deal less than many people have fig
ured it would. All this talk about ex-
penseS reaching billions of dollars is
vast nonsense and cannot be substanti-
either by facts or figures. 1t is
more than likely, however. that the
expenditures by the treasury depart
ment on account of the war with Spain
will be inside Of the s40O, 600. 900, which
was set aside by the congress for carry
ing on the war to the end of the pres
ent year. Indeed, it is probable that
this sum will not be found neces-
sary in the event of peace being finally
declared. Another matter to be taken
into account is that the money appro-
priated by congress has been of great
benefit to the country in doubling the
number of vessels in the navy as well
as materially improving and strength
ening the coast defenses of the United
States"

Notwithstanding the peremptory or

much to the annoyance of the Marquis

received the new from Sagasta's lips
that he could not succeed in deferring
the opening of the cortes later than
September 20. 1t is painfully evident
that, except those Immediately about
the queens person, the nobility and
courtiers are disposed. with true Cas-

Carlos.
The attitude of the army is one of en-
Dectancy, and the division of opinion
among army leaders and military dis

the return of troops from Cuba. Cen
Arolas, a violent partisan and con-

this Spain has lost its trump card.

region more than forty bears teeth with
pearls set in them were discovered. From
a mound in the Little Miami Valley Prof.
F. w. Putnam obtained over $4,000 pearls,
nearly two bushels, drilled and undrilled.
Two other deposits yielded upwards of
100000 pearls.
Plenty of evidence as to the possession
of great stores of pearls by the early alb
origines of this country is afforded by the
writings of the first explorers of the new
world. The attention of Columbus and
other Spanish discoverers was attracted
to the matter, and story having bear
ing on the same subject is told of the
followers of De Soto, who came upon an
Indian town near what is now Tampa
Bay. AT one end of the town was a tenn
pie, on the top of which was ,perched a
wooden fowl with gilded eyes. In these
eyes were pearls of huge size. When the
Indian queen, whose name was Ucita.
welcomed the strangers, she drew from
over her head a long string of pearls and
threw 1t around the neck of the leader
of the expedition. The Spaniards return
ed this courtesy by robbing the tombs of
the neighborhood, obtaining from them
about $50 pounds of pearls. ~ t

consideration he was sent as committee
of one 10 New York city to personally in

greeted at the hour named by an assist

strongly impressed upon MIN lilt utCCS-
sity OF stating his case briefly and p.ainly.
He also limited that Greeley's tempe. was
none Of the best. and urged him To con-
sumo as little time as possible. With
these injunctions in his ear he was ad-

discovered the editor seated alone at a

BUSHELS OF PEARLS.
Precious Gems That Were buried in
Prehistoric Earthworks.
Frorl The Boston Transcrii


Immense quantities of prehistoric pearls
have been discovered during the last few
years in the ancient mounds erected by a
forgotten race in the Mississippi Valley,
especially at certain points in Ohio. and
the evidence thus obtained proves that
some of the chiefs whose people formerly
inhabited that region did actually possess
treasures in this form which far exceeded
in value those owned by the richest
crowned heads today. In fact, there are
no collections of pearls in existence at the
present time that would compare at all
with those gathered by the aboriginal
connoisseurs referred to. In some of the
mounds pearls have been found, not by
hundreds or thousands, but by bushels
large numbers of them approaching or
even exceeding in size a hazel nut.
How such enormous stores of them were
gathered is problem not easily solved
The pearls were certainly obtained from a
species of mussel called the 'unio," which
is still found in great abundance in many
of the streams of this country; but in
those days the shellfish in question must
have been far more plentiful than now.
No more beautiful pearls exist in nature
than those yielded by the unio, and the
collections described must have been
magnificent indeed in the period of their
glory. Unfortunately, all of them have
been ruined by decay due to long burial,
though an occasional specimen reveals
something of its pristine beauty when its
outer layers are peeled off. nt'
In the famous Effigy mound, near Chill
licothe, Ohio, was found more than gal
lon of pearls with two skeletons All had
been drilled with holes, made with a
heated copper wire. This drilling was
undoubtedly for the purpose of attaching
them to clothing or belts, as illustrated
by the fact that 400 or 500 had been sewed
originally upon shirt worn by one of
the skeletons. In other places in the same
