a great practical joker. Several
years ago he was on board a river
steamboat, and having made
friends with the engineer, was al
lowed the freedom of the engine
room. Presently n certain part
OF the machinery began to creak.
The engineer oiled it and went
about his duties. In the course
of few minutes the creaklng was
heard again, and the engineer
rushed over, oil can in hand. to
luhricate the same creak. Again
he resumed his post, but it was
only few minutes before the
same old creak was creakinq
louder than ever.
"Great Jupiter"' he yelled,
'the thing is bewiched. "
More oil was administered, but
the engineer began to smell a rat.
Pretty soon the crank squealed
again, when, slipping behind
Maccabe, he squirted Il pint of oil

Nothing From Shaftnr or Samp-
son rs to the Fighting.

Washington, June %. -Up to
1890 tonight neither the war nor
the navy department had received
any news from either the troops
or the fleet in the vicinity of San
tlago. The navy department had
several messages during the even
ing from Admiral Sampson, but
all OF them related to purely rou-
tine matters of no possible interest
to the public. Admiral Sampson
made 10 reference to fighting, or
even 10 skirmishing, and his ST.
lence on that nnint. togeth or with
the fact that nothing has been re.
ceived by the war department
from Gen Shafter, is taken by the
officials of both departments to
mean that no engagement in the
least way serious has occurred
since the landing of the forces.
