1t would be difficult to imagine a sue
cession OF events in war time more dra-
matte than those which occurred in the
early days of this week. 1t was known
on Sunday that Gen. Shafter and the
American troops had fought their way to
a complete investment of Santiago, but on
Sunday evening came the depressing news
that his line of investment was so weak
that he could not carry the city with his
present forces and must fall back and wait
for reinforcements. Next morning-and
on the Fourth of July of all other days
came the news of the annihiation of Ger
vera's fleet, and the demand by Shafter for
the surrender of Santiago The demand
was refused, but with the Spanish ships
gone to destruction there is no doubt of
the ability of our army and navy to con-
troll the situation absolutely. The relief
and exhiaration were sensibly increased
by the news, which came the same day, of
the arrival of the first expedition for the
reinforcement of Admiral Dewey at Ma
nila
This turn of events makes the cause of

Justus Cobb, S3, who died Wednesday
at Mddlebury, had been prominent in
politics over so years, and had held many
offices. He was engaged in the publica-
ton of newspapers at Middlebury a large
part of the time from 1886 to 1888.
John McHugh, 81, while on his way home
from Middlebury Monday night fell from
his wagon landing on his head and shoul-
der, breaking a blood vessel which caused
his immediate death. Mr.. McHugh was
an old English soldier and veteran of the
civil war.

One OF the correspondents tells an anus
ing story, good enough to be true, of what
happened when Capt. Glass of the Charles
ton. on his way to Manila with the first
relief expedition, stopped at Guaian. the
chief town of the Ladrone Islands, and
demanded their surrender, The blank shots
fired by the Charleston were taken by GOV.
Marin ato be a salute and he sent off a
boat to carry his thanks and to say that
he had no powder with which to return
the compliment. Nobody on the islands
knew anything about the war between
Spain and the United States, and when
Capt Glass sent Gov. Marina orders to
come aboard the Charleston that official
innocently answered that he could not ac-
cept the invitation because the law of
Spain forbade him TO set foot on the
islands. His surprise may be imagined
when a force of United States marines
was landed, the stars and stripes were
run up, and he and his subordinate officers
were carried OFF to Manila. The Ladrone
are a group of small islands with popu-
lation of about 10000.

Spain in Cuba absolutely hopeless. Her
forces in the island are completely isolat-
ed, they can obtain no reinforcements, and
can receive no supplies of food or ammu-
milton. Further resistance is useless.
However obstinate in acknowledging the
hopelessness of her cause Spain may be,
the events of the week have brough. Wis

Il looks very much as if the claim that
the United States has been building up a

soutely incredible that in a fight like that.

AN UNWELCONE GUEST.
This HOtel-CIerk Cannot Ec

troublesome q Visitor.

After the battle of Waterloo, when the
allied forces lay in and around Brussels, every
conceivable sort of coin was in circulation:
One day an Irish soldier walked into hotel
with a British shilling and asked the clerk
if it would 90. GOOD for anything l have"
was the reply. The lrishman took him at
his word and ordered dinner. When he had
gotten outside of an astonishing amount OF
wine and victuals he rendered the shilling in
payment. Explanations followed, and the
clerk, taking in the situation, said,
"Here, my good man, misery loves com.
pany. Keep the shilling, my friend, and
play the same game on our neighbor, down
the street" AS the shilling was p5cketed
the owner coolly replied: Cant, my friend,
worked it on him yesterday, and he sent
me to you to-day" Now this anecdote has
nothing earthly to do with Mr.. G. Carl
Smith, clerk at the Williamson House,
Lebanon, N. II. We merely introduce him
in this manner so that the readers OF this
paper, who have regular visits from relatives
of the guest in question, will know how to
dispose of the intruder. Read what MIR.

DR.. Nansen as a Traveller.

A Liverpool despatch represents DR..
hansen as saying that lecturing in Amer
ica is as bad as exploring, and that the
American style OF travelling is not to his
taste. Major Pond, who saw a good
deal of DR.. hansen the last fortnight he
was in this country. feels constrained to
disbrlieve that Nansen has been truth
fully reported. He says that our late
visitor spoke most sweetly OF everything
American, and dotted esw cially on sleep
ing car berths and diningcar victuals.
Every one is counseled to disbeicve ]
reports of sentiments casually expressed
by DR. Nansen about this country; but il
he cid say that lecturing was hard work
and American travelling not to his taste,
that was all right; the sentiments were
reasonable, and no one need apologize
for them.

ans beauty fades very rapidly if she is
troubled with some arrangement of the

causes great suffering and irregularity in
