THE AUDIENCE LIKED IT.

"The song that touched their hearts"
is as old as the hills, almost. The
leading man in THE Dazzler" combi-
nation, which has just closed sue
cessful engagement, made big hit
every night with his bicycle song. He
never failed to bring down the house
when he reached the verse telling
about the good qualities of the Sterl-
ing bicycles. The audiences were all
ready to hear good word said about
these wheels, and heartily encored the
singer each night. The song was al
most as much of hit as the Sterl-
ing wheels have always been. Pacific
Cycle and Manufacturing Company,

ST. ELMO'S FIRE.
An Extraordinary Electrical Display
is Shown.

Just after Paahau, the native sal
lor, went overheard from the Kinau
on Saturday morning and Capt.
Clarke had signalled to the engineer
to stop and reverse, a ball of fire ap-
peared on the flagstaff of the Kinau,
which the skipper at first mistook for
steamers electric light. The decep-
ton was only momentary, however,
for Capt. Clarke soon saw that it was
merely an electrical phenomenon,
known as st. Elmo's fire. 1t remained
until daylight. Capt. Clarke says that
he never lost the sound of Paahau's
voice from the time he went overheard
until he was picked up. BY backing
the vessel instead of bring her around
the vigilent skipper kept track of the
man. Capt. Clarke thought that a
boat could scarcely live in the sea that
was running, but as the crew were
all picked men and powerful swim
mers he knew that he could pick them
mp if the boat was capsized. Very
few of the passengers knew anything
of the accident until it was all over.

grained. They only fear the death OF
thousands of friends at every postpone

that property owner in Havana are not

surrender as soon as our landing shall be
secured and the fleet near. They say that
Gen. Garcia is satisfied with the garrison-
ing of Santiago and that it gives satisfac-
ton to the Cubans generally. They con-
tradict the published falsehoods, cspcc-
tally those inspired by the few Spaniards
and their friends at Key West. Seventy
per cent. of the Cubans proper can read

EFFECT OF WAR ON HARVEST.
Help Scarce. in Dakota Because the
Boys Joined the Army.

The farmers of the Northwest are con-
fronted by a hard proposition us one Of
the results of the war. With so small a
percentage of soldiers from the West it
would seem that their absence could make
no difference in the affairs of the States.
But the situntion is serious for the farm
er who is ready to harvest his grain.
Heretofore the help has not been large,
but with the assistance of trumps during
the harvesting season the farmers have
been able to care for their crops. Now
not only are their own Sons away in the
army. hut there are no trnmps in the
Northwest.
II have never known anything like it,
said one of the largest farmers in South
Dakota. II Went into IL town near my
farm last week to get harvest hands. I
could easily have secured 200 men there
last year. but now l could not get one.
The town has Il population of 500, but it
sent 30 men to fight against Spain. If
there are any idle men in the East looking
for plenty Of work they should come out
here. We must have help or some of us
will lose our crops."

Lieut.. Col. Angel Resell, who, after
taking confirmation Of the instructions to

military governor of Guantanamo, re-
turned to Santiago Wednesday and said
that the first intimation that Guantanamo
lad OF tue surrender and terms there was
on July q, when Rear Admiral Sampson
sent a letter to Gen. Paroja, asking what
number Of rations should be sent TO his
garrison, as they had been surrendered Oh
the 18th. Gen. Paroja, being ignorant of
the surrender, refused to credit the mes
sage and dispatched Lieut.. Col. Resell to
Santiago to confirm the report. lie re-
turned with confirmation and the surrcn-
der of Guantanamo took place Thursday.
Col. Resell says the conditions of Guam
tanamo are awful, and the troops are lit
orally starving. For the last eight days
they have had no food. On mounting
guard the soldiers were obliged to sit,
being too weak to stand, and it was inn
possible for them to build trenches, as they
fell from exhaustion. There are 1000 sick
In Guantanamo, suffering from diseases
increased by hunger.
The French cruiser Rigaulte de Guinilly
was refused permission by Admiral Samp-
son to land grain and provisions for the
relief of the French colony at Guantanamo.
All hope was abandoned, and the sufferers
were awaiting death from starvation. The
conditions of Guantanamo, Col. Resell says,
are worse than those ut Santiago.

and demonstrative satisfaction. +,
Never was vessel more truly n gospel
ship, bringing good news to those who
heard 1t gladly, than the Coptic when she
came In last Wednesday afternoon, July
IL, with flags tloating from every mast
and streamers and pennants FROM every
shrOud and stay. While she was still far
out at sea the message she bore was read
IN her signal pennants, and to every viii
lage n plantation and house OH the isle
and of Oahu the news was sent, by tele-
phone and messenger, and by that subtle.
mode of swift communication which ev--
cry primitive people has, and which the.
native Hawaiians have not forgotten.

The whole population was awake, alert,
each to assure himself that the news so.
long hoped for, SO often deferred, had
come at lust; to grasp its full meaning
and to exchange with his ncighbors mu-
tual congratulations. Business ceased.
Buyers deserted the stores and merchants

only theme upon which men would talk.
The steamship Coptic arrived from San
Francisco on the evening Of the 18th
inst, with the important news that the
United States Senate had ratified the
Newlands resolution, making Hawaii u
part of the United States. Long before
the vessel had reached the harbor it was
known that the steamer brought annexa-
ton news, the information being signalled
to the Mohican.
After the Coptic was locked the official
message of Minister Hatch announcing
annexation was read from the balcony OF
the Government building and was greeted
with intense enthusiasm. The Govern
ment band played American national airs
and the people went wild. Then there
was an informal procession and cheer
ing thousands marched through the
streets. 1t was far in the night before
the patriotic jubilee ended.
