the returning vessels should arrive here
this week, and it will take ut least a
week for them to recoal and load supplies,
so that they could not hope TO get away
under 10 days after they make this

and on that basis the levy was fixed at
81 on the 500 of assessed valuation. Last
year the levy was 80 cents. The. increase
Is made necessary by numerous addition
al expenses in the way Of improvements
at the school buildings, and by reason OF
the fact that the district assessment is
100000 below what it was last year.
The total assessed valuation of the district
is $l,934,0o0. The levy will raise $l9,340,
and the money received from the appor.

ONE SPANISH WARsHIP RAISED
The Infanta Maria Teresa Has Been
Successfully FIoRted.

Playa del Este, Guantanamo, Cuba,
Sept. 25.-The wrecking company en-
gagged under Lieutenant Hobson in the
work of raising the wrecked Spanish
war ships, has succeeded in floating the
cruiser infanta Maria Teresa. The cruis-
er, after being got afloat, was taken in
tow by the Potomac, and conveyed by
the cruiser New York, the Scorpion and
the Alvaado, proceeded to Guantanamo
bay, where she arrived last night.
The successful issue OF the attempt 20
float her was greeting with the blowing
Of whistles. the fire Of national salutes
and by cheers in which the Cubans join
ed, disturbing the noon siesta.
OF Siboney the barometer and the
wind indicated the approach OF hurri-
cane, and the towing power was increas-
ed.
The Newark under Captain Goodrich,
rendered valuable assistance in the work
Of saving the Maria Teresa.
The cruiser is being put in condition
for her trip north by the repair ship Vul-
can.
ohHy HEOpHy u shhtAm8os
The Infanta Maria Teresa has always
been one of the favorite war ships Of the
Spanish people, possibly because of her
name. She is an armored cruiser Of
about 1000 tons displacement. Her speed,
when in fighting trim, is believed to be
something over 20 knots an hour. Her
battery at the time of the battle of San
tiago consisted Of two ll-inch, 10 5.5-inch
and number of rapid fire guns. She
has an armor belt of IL inches over her
most vulnerable parts.
1t cost Spain over s2.Oo0,0oo to build
her, but she was sunk by Admiral
Schley's flag ship Brooklyn in 20 min
utes. OF the six war ships Spain lost
on that memorable day in July the In
fanta Maria Teresa is the only one that
will ever float again.
