captain, i've will move to this hill, which
 is quite near. The-ah-Spanards are in- fernally-ah-bad gunners and there is no -ah-danger, unless-ah-they are worse than usual" Sir Arthur screwed his mon- ocle firmly in his eye, and, pushing his way through the chaparral, secured a good place on the neighboring elevation, where he could observe all the movements of the day. He could see things where the ordi- nary field glasses failed, and insisted in re- maning there all day long in spite of the sing of shrapnel shells.
 Grimes battery had been silenced, but not the captain. When the charge was made up the hill of San Juan the captain became enthusiastic in his praises. He talked about ''our boys" He never got over the habit afterwards It was always "our fellows" or "our boys" and "how we did it.' W
 This same Sir Arthur Paget exhibited shrewdness and cunning which is supposed to exist only this side of the Atlantic. On July 2 Sir Arthur Paget began acting queerly. At this time he was stopping at General Shafter's headquarters, about two miles back of the firing line. The captain began packing up his equipment What is the matter??' inquired the French at tache. "I-ah-am not being treated right" said the captain. "The-ah, American off, cers have not treated me right. They-ah, have not invited me to mess with them and-ah--have treated me shabbily. I am going away" Really, you are unfortun- ate," said the French attache, commiserat- ingly; q have been treated excellently." Here is the true story of the captains sud- den flight: That morning the English con- sul had come out of Santiago and had had an interview with Captain Paget. The con- sul had told Captain Paget that Admiral Cervera had informed him that it was his intention to move out the next morning. Sir Arthur consequently made up his mind to see the naval engagement. It was too good thing to give away to the other attaches. He proceeded with great speed to Siboney, where he boarded boat which carried him to bastleship. The next morn- .ii ,,i,. ne. ..ersc5sce ssc- tes.-uetion of the Spanish fleet. He was the only foieieh attache who was lucky enough to be on hand during the engagement.

COPPlNGER TO GO T..
 TO PORTO RICO

Tampa, Fla, Aug. 1.-The transport Michigan sailed yesterday from Port Tampa and crossed the bar of the bay to- day. She was loaded with fresh meat for General Shafters army, besides a large jquantity of other supplies. 'N -''''@e
 General Enrique ,Collazo, commander-in- chief of the Cuban cavalry, was on board and will take command of his forces in Cuba again. General Collazo has been in this country since the beginning of the war, having been called here by General Miles to consult about the work in Cuba. He has spent some time in Washington with the officials and now goes to Santiago under orders from the department with which he has been cooperating.
 General Coppinger. of the fourth army corps with headquarters in this city, re- ceived orders today to go to Porto Rico at once He will sail on the transport Aransas tomorrow unless another boat ar rives from quarantine before that time This order was something of a surprise as General Coppinger was expected to go to Fernandina with part of his corps, which has been moved there.

A 1ETTER FROM
 COMMODORE SCHLEY

Indianapolis, Aug. 1.-Shortly after the great naval victory off Santiago in which Cervera's fleet was pursued and destroyed by othe American vessels of war under Commodore Schley, Captain John Schley, cousin of the commodore, wrote letter of congratuation for the victory won. To- day he received a reply which in part was as follows:
 "F'agship Brooklyn, Off Santiago De Cuba, July 22, 1898
 t"My Dear John-The victory of July 5, so complete in results and so rich in glory for our country was the joint product of every one fortunate enough to be engaged and I ought rather to thank you in their name than to appropriate the congratula tions to myself
 Surely 1t was large enough to win lau- rels for all and I assume no other pride in t than that the lucky place of this ship in the line was where the first heavy as- sault was made on afterward by the speed and her direction to keep in the scrap to the finish. which occurred three

Little c ,mforts for the soldier Boys

The dire distress of Spain for money with which to carry on her war with this ceun- try has eEcited from one of her republican journals the suggestion that an immense e:r aunt of wealth yet remains to her to be drawn upon, in the shapes of private fortunes, church property and art treas ures. How much. could be raised from the first two of these sources we have no means of judging but the Spanish national art treasures are well known, and their value could be readily estimated in case of ne- cessity. In pictures alone Spain is exceed ingly rich and possesses numerous master pieces, worth, ;n the aggregate, millions Of dollars.
 In the Royal Picture Gallery, situated on the Prado, at Madrid, says the New fork Sun have been collected from the other Spanish galleries more than 1000 paintings the property of the crown,a all of dnem good and many of them great. The gallery contains ten works by Raphael, forty-six by Muir To. sixty-four by Velasquez, twenty two by Van Dyck, sixty two by Rubens, fortv-three by Titan, twenty-five by Paui Veronese. ten by Claude Lorraine and doz- ems and scores by other as nearly ceiepra>eo painters. The Murillos and Velasquezes es- pecially present the finest and most com- plete series of the productions of those mas ters anywhere to be seen ana, lhueeo' .hey are all of unequaled merit.
 Out of these 2,OOO paintings in the Prado gallery there are some fifty for which II would be impossible to fix an adequate price. Holy families by Raphael and py Murillo, portraits by Velasquez and ngutes by Titan and by Paul Veronese are beyond appraisement in money. It Is safe, however, to say that the whole 2,Oo0 in lot would he cheap t s2oS 900 0O0, and would bring that sum if they were put up at auction.
 Let us hope, however, that the Spanisn government will not avail itself or ihis means of providing the sinews of war. when we get through with her we shall have claim upon Spain for indemnity of not less than $500 900 900, which she will be utterly unable to pay in money. The Prado gallery will then come in very acceptably. We could take it in a lump for, say $2Oo,OO OoOoo and then bring it over here. A gallery could he built for it in Washington, which, with its contents, would serve at once as tro- phy of victory and useful school of art education. .1>

Bloody Encounters Between Soldiers
aud Cfvilians-Awfhl Bptchsry.
!, Loadon. May M.--A dispatch to The
Daily Mail from Lugnac. Switzerland,
dated yesterday. says: At Potedera.
In Tuscany. the bread riots were very
serious. The commander of the troops
ordered eight trumpet signals before
he gave the word to fire. The effect
then was OF the deadliest character.
Those who were foremost in the crowd
could not move and received the charge
In full.
Then men fired who never thought of
firing before. Revolvers were used In
sheer despair. One frantic woman ad-
vanced with a pistol. pushed aside the
soldiers rifles, pressed her weapon
against the breast of a soldier and
shot him dead. His comrades ran
their bayonets through her body and
one shot through the head. Among
the dead were five children under 10
days.
Rioting was renewed in Naples yes
terday. The troops fired upon the
rioters, who tried to build barbados,
and were pursued by the soldiers with
fixed bayonets toward the railway sta
ton. where four cannon were waiting.
A dispatch to The Daily News from
Vienna says the people who are arriv-
ing at Trieste from Italy declare the
riots have nowhere abated, but that
the government suppresses the news.

HEAD OF THE ARMY.
GENERAL NELSON A. MILES THE
MAN OF THE HOUR

He 10 Born Fighter, Disciplinarian and
Tactician - Career and Personality In
His Strong and Skilled Hands May Rest
Our Nations Honor.
General Miles was a mere boy when
he entered the Union Army, and he
rose SO rapidly during the con-
flict that he came out of the
army with the title Of brevet major
general, although he was but twenty
six years old. After the war, when
Jefferson Davis was sent to Fortress
Monroe as prisoner, Miles was Sc
lected by Secretary Stanton to take
charge Of the noted captive. Those
were uncertain times, and the young
officer took every precaution to see
that his prisoner did not escape.
In whatever light one chooses to
view the matter, General Miles is
most interesting personality. He won
the confidence of the principal men in
the civil war by his conduct during the
four years cofict, and he since has
made worldwide reputation as
fearless Indian fighter. To the casual
observer General Miles appears to be
man who has had successful bust
ness career, rather than a man who
has been fighting for two-thirds of MS
active life and who has recovered from
four serious bullet wounds.
