companies in such an event would be to advance their rates so as to indemnify themselves for the extra outlay in fur nishing revenue stamps. At least, this would be following the example of other business concerns.
 But the express companies, by reason of the character of their contracts with the railroads, in order to indemnify them selves completely, would have to adyanee their fates beyond the actual Cost to theinsefves of the reTeehue stamps. Their contracts with the railroads call for the payment of a certain percentage of their gross receipts to the railroads. The lat ter, if they chose to do so, would certain ly have the right to insist upon comput- ing payment upon the increased rates. Should they insist upon the carrying out of the terms of their contracts with the express companies, it is apparent that the latter, to indemnify themselves, would have to advance their rates not merely to a figure covering the cost of stamps, but to meet the increased payment to the railroads as well.
 In view of all these details, 1t may be nice question for shippers to decide as to which is the less costly course to pur- sue. to pay for the revenue stamps them selves or to insist upon the express com- panies doing so

Express Companies and the Tax

From the Memphis Scimitar.
 It appears that all the express companies in the country have entered into an agree ment whereby each will insist upon the shipper paying the war tax required by the new law. In doing this the express com panies are merely doing what other cor porations whose business is affected by the law are also doing.
 Without discussing the question as to what were the intentions of congress as to who should pay the tax, or whether congress concerned itself at all in the matter except to insist that the tax must be forthcoming, it is pertinent to inquire what the probable effect would be ulti- mately should the matter be carried into the courts and the decision be against the express companies.
 Of course, the first move of the express

 They got up close to their forts, so We had to get close to the forts to fire at them. The Spanish boats and forts started to fire at us at 5000 yards. We reserved our fire until within 5000 yards; then we turned our broadsides onto them, with a heavy fire all of the time, making three circles, the first one from 5,000 to 6,0oO yards, the second one from 5000 to 4,OcO yards, and third one from 1,2O0 to 2,5oO yards, away from the fleet and forts The shot from one of the S-inch guns killed forty Spaniards, and wounded others, and they stopped firing at us. think the rest ran away.
 '"Then we steamed slow and then we went off and had breakfast, and the ad- miral captains held a council of war, and at 10:30 a. m. we made another at tack, the Baltimore taking the lead, going bow on to the fleet and forts within 12oO yards, and sinking the rest of them. Before they were sinking at all you could see the Spaniards going over the ships into boats and making for shore, leaving thelr banners flying, to make other people think that she fought sinking, like the Cumber- land did, with her banners flying high. They were dirty towards and there was not a Spaniard aboard to hauld down thelr colors."
 'The guns on the Spanish ships are stili
 out of the water and are in fine order. They could have been firing them yet. We
 fired about thirty shots at the forts and at the entrance of the harbor, so they cannot be used any more, and we are dis mounting the guns on the ships and put ting them aboard Spanish steamer that we captured.
