Brockton, Oct. 4.-The threatened
strike Of the lasters in the shoe towns

as could be learned this afternoon, has
happily been averted in most OF the
shops affected by the new price list.
Very many of the firms have accepted
the list and several have already made
arrangements to do the lasting by

to a fight between the Lasters Union
and the Consolidated Machine COM

day and the United States gunboat Hugh
Mccullough was sent after her to ask
her to stop. As the Irene refused TO
obey shell was sent across her bow and

tested and insisted the German ships
had right to onter the harbor without
being searched. claim which Dewey
declined to recognize.
It is reported that Admiral Won Died

squadron at Manila interviewed Capt.
Chichester of the British cruiser, I'M
mortalite as to what he would do il tho
Germans interfered with tho lombard

piled that only Dewey ard himself

The number Of men surrendered at
Santiago by Gen. Toral was 22,7S9, ac-
cording to the Spanish roster. OF this
number less than half comprised the
garrison in the city, the remainder be;
ing scattered over the province. tAt last
accounts these last troops had not laid
down their hrms, and it is not definitely
known when they will. The prisoners
taken at Santiago are under g uard two
miles out OF the city pending their de-
portion for Spain at the expense of the
United States, one of the conditions Of
their surrender. 1t will cost the govern
ment the enormous sum OF over $780,
600 to feed and transport these $4,000
prisoners to Spain. One steamship com
pany has offered to carry 5000 OF them
for s5OO,000. This is expensive, but it is
cheaper than siege, and had Santiago
been taken by assault it would have cost
the liyos Of thousands OF bravo American
soldiers.

Dakota Farmer: Brule county, South
Dakota is one of the best farming coun-
ties in the state. To begin with it is
blessed with q fine soil, but 1t seems also
blessed with an energetic lot Of farmers.
We were told that farmers there never
grow wheat unless the field was we'll
prepared for it. and the acreage Of cul.
:iyated crops is certainly very large
there. 1t seems to the writer that fully
one-half of tho cultivated area was
planted to corn, and over one-balt Of this
corn is listed. The county contains a
large amount of stock and the creamery
enterprise is growing.

So far, in the war between the United

failure-or more strictly writing, q
waste Of money. The war ships Of the
present-and doubtless Of the fu:ure-is
the fast cruiser armed with rapid fire
guns Of medium calibre and handled by
expert seamen and gunners. A ship Of
this kind is capable of doing rapid and
terrific fighting, or running away, as
circumstances may demand. The cruis-
er BROOKLYN gave a splendid object Of the

the engagement with the Spanish tlset

cruisers couldn't run away from. As it
turned out, the Brooklyn proved more

was her fire from her secondary battery
that the Spanish gnnners could not stay
BY their guns aud there could not be but
one result.
