Rev Dr. j. /. Vance, Of the First Pres

saying:
II wonder II the time is not at hand

must be admitted, that while Mason and

Simple Subtraction.

An 1rishman was hauling water in
barrels from small river to supply the
Inhabitants Of the village, which was
not provided with waterworks. AS he
halted at the top Of the bank to give
blow before proceeding to peddle the
water, a gentleman of the inquisitive
type rode up, and after passing the
time Of the day, asked:
How long have you been hauling
water for the village, my good
man."
Tin years or more, sor," was the re-
ply.
"Ah! and how many loads do you
make day."
From tin to fifteen, accordin' to the
weather, sor."
YES. Now, have one for you, Pat"
said the gentleman, laughing. How
much water have you hauled altogeth-
err"
The Irishman jerked his thumb in
the direction of the river, at the same
time giving his team the hint to start,
and replied:
"All the water that yez don't see
there now, sor."

HObSon to Have His Choice.

Washington, June 1.-THE president
has not yet decided what measure OF
reward shall be melted out to Lleuten-
ant Hobson for his brave achievement
at Santiago. The men he led have been
taken care Of. Secretary Long attend
ed to that himself, because it was a
matter entirely within his authority,
and they have been made warrant Of
ficers, the ideal of a sailors ambition.
The department called upon Admiral
Sampson for recommendation in
Hobson's case, but in advance Of its
arrival had about decided to advance
Hobson 10 numbers, which would have
placed him just below Constructor Lin
nard, when a doubt arose as to whether
the young man would not prefer
transfer to the line, and it was decided
to allow Hobson to make his choice as
between the line and staff.

Jacksonville, Fla, June 1.-THE Nm.
Yelling of the $4,000 Confederate menu.
ment here yesterday marked a chapter
In history strange In coincidence and
remarkable in surroundings.
Eighteen years ago, on the piazza of
one Of the hotels of this city. sat SOL
der, ex-president. while the citizens
of Jacksonville passed and repassed,
marking the presence Of q statesman
who had made the laurels of a victor
unfading forever by proclaiming over a
sea Of bitterness, LET US have peace"
Yesterday his grandson, as a member
of the staff of General Lee, stood
within few feet of the same spot re-
viewing an army of soldiers In blue,
veterans who had opposed each other
on the battlehelds, and thousands of
Floridians marching TO do honor to o
Confederate soldier in bronze.
A regimental band from the land of
the old Yankees stepped proudly to the
strains of march, and Old Glory
waved in the southern breeze. The new
Yankees from North Carolina and Vir-
ginia came in blue, too, and took up the
echoes with the spirit stirring refrain
Of Dixie. Behind trooped the old fed
eral veterans, and then came the old
Confederates under the stars and bars
floating peacefully beside the Stars and
Stripes.
A federal army in Jacksonville march
ed past the reviewing stand occupied
by a Lee and Grant, under the eyes
of Harrison, whose father was a fed
eral general and Republican presi-
dent and of nephew of the vice pres
ident, to unveil a monument dedicated
by ex-Confederates to the Confederate
who Is dead except on the pages of
history.
Through the streets of southern city
tramped an army in blue from the
north, south, east and west, led by
Lee, and at the foot Of pedestal that
lifts up the typical southern soldier to
the reverence Of the ages stood Sartors,
who is Grant to us now, and a Harri-
son, at home with the people from
whom his ancestors sprang.

The Porto E!co Invasion,

Washington, June 1.-THE war de-
partment expects to utilize approxi-
mately 35 transports in the expedition
for the invasion of Porto Rico. This
seems to indicate that the Porto Rico
army will equal, if not exceed in num-
bers that which left for Santiago The
estimate is made that the IS vessels will
carry between $4,000 and 10000 men,
with their equipments and subsistence.
Army officials say that reports which
have been rec ived from reliable sources
show that the number Of Spanish SOL
diers in that country is probably TO-
600 men, although other statements in
dictate that there is considerably less
than that number

THE SANTIAGO EXPEDITION.


Omcials Expect Some Important News
Within Twsnty.four Hours.
Washington, June l7.-In the way Of
actual events there was little to record
yesterday No word came from Samp-
son at Santiago or from Dewey at
Manila. This absence of affirmative
news from the respective seats of war
gave rise to no apprehension. The Of
ficials are resting secure in the belief
that the marines at Guantanamo can
easily maintain themselves until the
troops arrive, and the worst that can
be feared at Manila is not harm to
Dewey. but to the Spaniards In the city.
The officials of the war department
do not care to give out any specific in
formation as to when General Shafter,
with his troops, will land in Cuba, but
from certain signs Of restlessness ex-
hibited by them It is evident they
would not be surprised to have some
very important news within the next
"a hours. The naval officials are con-
fident that Sampson will have estab-
iished cable communication within that
time, so that news Of the arrival of the
American troop transports off Santiago
should not be longer delayed than the
time required for a dispatch boat to
make the run Of 40 miles eastward
along the coast to the shores of Guam
tanamo harbor where the cable will
be working under the protection Of
Colonel Huntington's marines.
There was an exhibition of feverish
activity at the war department yes
terday 30 pronounced as to attract at
tention even In these stirring times. 1t
was apparent that renowned efforts
were making to complete the equipment
of the troops already gathered at the
concentration points, and that prepara-
tions are in progress to move a number
of troops. So far, however, it is stated
that no orders have gone out for the
actual movement, and what has been
and is being done in that direction is
merely preparatory. General Miles ar
rived here today for conference with
Secretary Alger and the president.

Bear Panic on Wall Street.

New York, June 17.-There was a
small bear panic yesterday which
caused an upward rush of prices in the
first hour such as has not been seen on
the Stock Exchange for days. Blocks
Of 1000 shares and upwards of leading
stocks were snapped up with avidty.
The prominent specialties and tho
grangers had the most conspicuous ad-
vances, but the strength was quite well
distributed in the list and gains in the
railroads We're nearly uniform. After
the opening rush the market fell into
dizziness and drifted rather aimlessly
below the high point, but without fall.
ing to the opening level.
