A minister in neighboring town few
Sundays ago surprised his audience by
reading the following announcement
from the pulpit: "The regular session OF
the Donkey club will be held as usual
at the close of the service. Members
will line up just outside the church
doors, make remarks and stare at at the
ladies who pass, as is their custom. ANY
member known to escort a lady to church
and sit with her like a gentleman, will
be expelled from mem bership." The APP
plication was to the point, and the effect
was marvellous.

The Northern Paeific's New Project.

Chief Engineer f. II. McHenry, of the
Northern Pacific, has given official con6r-
nation of the report that the Northern
Pacific railway is favorably considering
plan to build cutoff from Missoula
to Pasco. The cutoff had been contem-
plated for some time and it is stated
that it will make a large saving in
distance to the coast. The route has not
been selected as vet. but the surveys have
been made in a general way. The prob
able route will be over a feasible pass in
the Rockies on direct line from Mis-
soula down the Clearwater to Lewiston
and thence down Snake river.
From Lewiston the line will proceed

down Snake river to it's mouth. which is
near Pasco. Pasco will he on the main
line of the road. The total distance
saved by the cutoff is about 100 miles.
This cutoff, although it would save con-
siderable distance, will not be used as the
main lire, because to prepare it for that
purpose would be to entail vast expense.
1t will be used as feeder to the main
line.

Mains Cut.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 29.-Lieu-
tenant Victor Blue Of the auxiliary gum
boat Suwannee returned to the fleet yes
terday from another investigating trip
ashore. He reported that Admiral Ger
vera's ships are all in the harbor of
Santiago de Cuba. With the exception
OF one torpedo boat destroyer, they are
at anchor and show no signs Of ac-
tivlty.
Lieutenant Blue went ashore on Sat
urday to the west of MORO castle, ac-
companied by some Cuban guides. He
advanced until about two miles north
OF Cabana and almost up to the enemys
batteries He Travelled 60 miles.
Lieutenant Blue was able TO accu-
rately locate the position Of each OF Ad-
miral Cerveras ships. Rear Admiral
Sampson warned his fleet yesterday to
exercise great care In shooting at the
hills east of Moro castle pointing out
that the American army had advanced
and that our troops might be deployed
on the hillsides.
The water supply of the city Of San
tiago was cut Off Monday night. and
nothing but cistern water is now avail
able to the Spaniards there. Shortly
after dark the Cuban scouts moved eau

KINGSTON, jamaica. June 29.-In-
formation has been received here from
Manzanllo to the effect that five bat
talions OF Spanish troops which left
that city several days ago to re-enforce
General Linares returned TO Manzanillo
two days after their departure
This is by far the most important
news received here this week IT Is re-
garded as Indicating the failure OF the
Spanish attempt. under command Of
General Pando to rush 10000 trained
troops to the defense OF Santiago.
General Pando, as has been told In
former dispatches. began n desperate
effort 10 get troops 10 Santiago as soon
as II was known that the Americans
would land and begin the invasion OF
Cuba In that vicinity. He commands
the most important body OF Spanish
troops aside from General l. uares'
forces. In eastern Cuba.
He was ordered by Captain General
Blanco TO proceed with all possible haste
toward Santiago, and the Spaniards
based their only hope OF repelling the
invasion on the prompt arrival Of Pan
dos forces about Santiago.
one or the nrst matters GenefU Gar
cia brought to General Skaters atten-
tion was the question of preventing
Pando from Joining Linares In Santiago
General Garcia had not at his command
force strong enough to face Pando's
10000 troops. but he felt confident that
the Cubans could hold the Spanish re-
endorsements in check until General
shafter could send troops to aid in driv-
ing them back from the beleaguered
city.
The Information received from Man
zanillo has set at rest the fears OF botf
the American and Cuban commanders
They believe that Pando's men either
were unequal TO the difficult march
from Manzaniilo to Santiago or els,
that General Linares. realizing the
hopelessness OF his position. sent wort
that Il was useless TO send these addi
tional troops to that point.

FAMINE in MADRID.
Meal Tickets Issued to Eight Thousand
Starving Families.


MADRID, June 29.-The distress In
this city has become so terrible that the
guardians of the poor, whose chairman
is Senor Aguillera the civil governor
Of Madrid, have been obliged to inter-
vene to rescue the poor from death by
actual starvation. The guardians dis
tributed tickets to 5000 of the most
needy OF the sufferers. emitting them
to a small parcel of bacon. beans, pota-
toes and bread.
The distribution took place yesterday
at the Asylum of Santa Cristina. Hours
before the time for the giving out Of the
provisions the streets leading TO the
asylum were packed with crowds Of
famishing people.
The police were entirely unable to
manage the eagerly expectant thou
sands, who saw before them the first
opportunity in weeks to procure a little
nourishlng food for themselves and, in
many cases, for their starving children.
More than 1000 famished wretches
who had been unable to procure tickets
swelled the throngs, clamoring for
bread.
The spectacle was a most pitiable' one
and clearly indicated the abyss OF suf-
fering into which the war has plunged
thousands of the lower classes, who,
prior to the outbreak OF hostilities. were
able to take care Of themselves and
their families.
