The siege of Santiago was brought to
successful conclusion in two weeks. The
siege of Petersburg lasted ten months.
There was this radical difference between
the two campaigns however, that in the
former case it was American against Span
lard, while in the latter it was American
against American.

The idea, which has apparently got
abroad, that the American ships were not
hit during the fight off Santiago, is a mis-
taken one. The Spanish fire was not eff
fective, but a good deal OF it was accur-
ate. The Brooklyn was hit between
twenty and thirty times, and one of the
hits lacked little of being a very serious
one. An eleven-inch shell pierced her
side near the water line, and one of her
compartments flied with water. Another
line and stuck there imbedded in the
armor. The Texas was also struck sevara'
times and a good portion of her super
structure was torn away.

was able to make the loan was 21k per

is half a cent lower than the federal gov

The inquiry into the disaster to the
Bourgogne seems so far to have developed
the facts that she was off her proper
course, that she was sailing through the
fog at a high rate Of speed, and that
after the collision proper efforts were not
made for the safety of her passengers.
Should these facts be substantiated, the
owners OF the ship would probably be
mulcted in heavy damages by the suffer-
ers from the disaster.

The Populist party is certain to find

The Cuban volunteers Of the Spanish
army viii be the very last persons to
agree to a cessation of hostilities. For
them peace means annihilation as an or
ganization, and possibly also as individ-
uals. The volunteers are intensely hated
by the Cubans, and are despised by the
Spaniards. They are irregular troops and
soldering, or rather legalized robbery by
force of arms, is their business. They are
extremely cruel to the unfortunate island
ers who have the " fortune to fall into
their hands, not hesitating to put to death
any who oppose their wishes. The voIun-
teers would be shown little mercy if the
Cubans were 10 come into possession of
the island and the Spaniards would not
have them in Spain. The end of the war,
therefore, means much to the Cuban vol
unteers.

Of the decisive assertions which have
been made by Senators are for the
purpose OF securing relief from
pressure instead of being an accurate
statement Of their position.
The opposition Senators, under
the leadership Of Senator White, OF
California, are apparently more
aggressive, more actively belligerent,
than the proponents of annexation.
They have the advantage of requir-
ing only one vote where the other
side needs two. Thirty negatives
will defeat annexation and thirty
six are claimed. The list is known
to contain thirty-one, and the con-
test has only begun. Affidavits, pro-
tests from native Hawaiians, charges
of undue influence, and other.
methods of parliamentary warfare
are still held in reserve. Confident
OF their strength, the opponents Of
the treaty are ready and willing to
vote, but under the rule OF the
Senate they cannot force decision.

nexation delay. They believe that
the struggle to capture two more
votes will eventually result in their
favor. Argument, persuasion, and
personal appeal will be employed.
No one can now predict whether
their endeavors will be successful or
whether they are to fight in vain.
When they have added the all-essen-
tial two votes to votes in their
column the daily debate will cease
and the treaty be fastened to its
triumphant consummation. When
this point will be reached or when
Senator Davis will conclude that de-
feat is inevitable is question that
only the future can determine. AT

The Creature Pecrcd ut n Nan from
n Lump Of Coal.
Cincinnati Encuirer.l

George Emig Town Clerk Of Bellevue,
Ky, made a discovery yesterday which
has set scientists to looking up works on
reptile life during the antediluvian age.
Emig, whose reputation for truth and
veracity is unQuestioned, was breaking
a lump of coal at police headquarters
He had split the lump in half, and was
lust about to put the larger halt IN
the stove, when a cavity - the lump at
tractcd his attention. He carried 1t TO the
window, and was surprised to see that
IL had an occupant in the shape OF frog
different in appearance from any he had
ever seen.
The reptile had no eyes, but where these
should be were simply two holes. The
hind feet were very long, and terminated
in slender points. The skin was OF a
blacksh hue The reptile was unusually
lively after il had been released from
its prison cell, where it had doubtless
reposcd for thousands of years. 1t hop
ped about in a lively manner and at
tracted considerable attention. Emig was
willing 20 swear that the lump of coal
in which the reptile was confined was
solid, and had not been tempered with
before he broke the mass and released
his toadship from his long captivity.

The Inside Wafer Route.
Savannah Newsl


The Morning News has time and again
urged the Importance of the inside water
route along the Atlantic coast as an ad-
iunct 10 the national defences. With the
exception of a few miles, there is a con-
tinuOuS succession of sounds, bays, rivers,
creeks, and canals for nearly the entire
length of the coast. These waterways
are for the most part now naVlgable 10
light-draft vessels. With the eNpendi-
ture OF a reasonable sum of money, an
unbroken inside water route reaching
from Boston 10 the capes of Florida could
be opened. y year or two ago the torpedo
boat Cushing made n cruise OF eXamlna-
ton through the inside route from Wash
ington TO Biscayne bay, with the eXcep-
ton OF lap by open sea from Beaufort.
n. c., 10 Bulls Bay S. G.. Tho trip was
slow and tedious, but IL demonstrated
the practicability of an inland channel.
The advantage Of such a channel in the
event of emergency is too obvious TO
need comment.
Attention is drawn TO this matter by
the fact that the government has char
tered q barge for the transportation or
guns from the Watervliet arsenal, by
way of New York to the South through
this inside water route. This means of
transportation is safer than sending the
heavy guns by sea on sailing craft, as
witness the recent loss Of two heavy
guns off Tybee from a freighting schoon-
or. and is cheaper than sending them by
rail The barge in question is SS Feet

200 tons draws feet of water. She VIII
