CURRENCY REFORM LEGISLA-
TION.
San Diego Union: Now that a Re-
publican Senate, as well as a Repub
lican House, is assured after the 4th
of March, the outlook for currency
reform legislation is the subject of
much speculation Papers which OPP
pose the Administration are predicting
that nothing will be done, and the
New York Evening Post" which Is
funniest when 1t is most pessimistie,
hastens to remark: How can we get
time to do anything for American
bankers and merchants when our first
duty is to Cuban Nanigos and the
Kanakas and Sulu pirates? We very
much fear that currency reformers are
again going to play the role of the for
gotten man, while Cuffee and Quasho
have the ear of Congress and absorb all
it's time and wisdom This is clever,
but it may be asked whether these
frantic currency reformers would have
Congress ignore the problems which
are a legacy of the war; while none
tary system under which the country
is financially strong, is undergoing the
process of being more or less amended?
Should Congress take this course, what
an opportunity the resulting compli-
cations would afford the Post" and
papers of it's kind!

Spaniards Attempt to Recapture Cape
San Juan LighthOuse-Defeate
by Marines and Warships.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Records spe-
cial from its war correspondent, off
Ban Juan, says:
A force of 500 Spanish soldiers made
desperate attempt to retake the
lighthouse on Cape San Juan early
Tuesday morning. They were re-
pulsed by a heavy fire from American
warships and by gallant charge of
sailors fighting on shore. The Spanish
loss in killed and wounded was very
heavy. After the Americans gained
possession of the lighthouse recently
it was garrisoned by 40 sailors from
the monitor Amphitrite. This force
was commanded by Lieut.. Atwater.
The battle of Cape San Juan was dis
astrous for the Spaniards. One hun
dred dead bodies were strewn along
the shore where the enemy had fought
and then retreated. In the final rout
they left behind them the machine
gun and many rifles and ammunition
boxes. which were thrown away while
the Spaniards were running for their
lives Not one American was killed.
but Cadet William II. Boardman. of
Lawrence, Mass. was so badly wound
ed that he will die. 1t was deemed
prudent to withdraw the garrison
from the lighthouse, but it still flies

Spanish attacks by the guns of the
