LAID DOWN THEIR ARMS.
Spanish Garrisons at Baracoa and Sagua
de Tanamo Surrender-Had Not Heard
OF Cervera's Defeat.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The war
department has received the following
| from Gen Shafter:
Maj. Miley has just returned from
| Baracoa and Sagua de Tanamo. At
| both places there was ,156 officers and
| men surrendered, 2,331 stands of arms
| and 100000 rounds of ammunition and
| five Krupp guns. Troops were very
short Of food, but - days rations
were given them by Mai. Miley and a
large amount of Red Cross supplies
landed at the same time at both
places. These troops knew nothing
whatever of the destruction of Ger
vera's fleet, the fall of Santiago or any
later events. They accepted the situ-
alton, however, and appeared to be
glad of the opportun to go home.
Maj. Miley states that on the door
of the commanding officer was posted
bulletin, purporting to be a tele-
gram from the naval commander at
Manila, informing Sagasta of his
great victory over Dewey at Manila
and Sagasta'S thanks TO him for the
same Country in the vicinity of these
towns is in the same condition as that
here--utterly destroyed and grown
up. Inhabitants said that in Is
months they would be able to harvest
their crop of bananas, which is the
principal product of BaracOa. A reg
iment of insurgents was found in
the vicinity of each place, camped
within a few hundred yards of Span

An awkward situation.

AT this point the Spanish forces retreat
ing from Santa Ana came into view, fully
1850 strong, followed by Insurgents wlsO
had euded Gen. McArthur's troops, and
row opened fire for brief period. The Sit
uat.oE was awkward if not critical both
sides being slightly suspicious Of treach-
cry. The Spanish troops lining the citadel
Tamparts, observing the Insurgents action,
opened fire on the Californiaus, killing one
and wouEding three. The confusion, how
ever. soon ceased by the advance of the re-

Gen. Greene ordered them to enter the

THE STATE PRINTING MIDDLE.

THE State Board of Examiners, the Governor
 and the members of the coming Legislature, III
 their preparations for opening the State Printing Office, confronted may remark, by condl- tion not a theory. In connection with the condition one thing may be stated with reasonable certainty; The legislators who become responsible for delaying the session in order that political vengeance may be wreaked upon somebody will be held to strict ac- countabity by the people
 It is true that Governor Budd Democrat, vetoed the State Printing Office appropriation but that is now past history, and 1t need not be used by the politicians for the purpose of damaging the Demo cratic party Governor Budd IS about to retire from office, and for his acts history will hold him respon- sibe. What the State authorities and Legislature should do is to guarantee State Printer Johnston de- hciency appropriation and authorize him to mme- datey open his office and prepare for business Ii this is not done two three valuable weeks of the coming session may be wasted
 Governor Budd and Mr. Johnston have composed their differences and prepared to cooperate. It will not do for Republican Senators and Assem- bynen to disturb this entente cordiae for the pur pose of making a little worthless political capital. Business is business and States business IS en- titled much consideration at the hands of the men elected to conduct 1t as the business of indi- vidual
  be endangered by the refusal of certain Republican leaders to support State Printer Johnstons deficiency appropriation the charter of this city That srument will demand the services of great many printers in its publication and if it is prepared and presented promptly 1t may fall in the crush of legislation and fail of ratification. This would be a disaster which would greatly damage the Republican party of San Francisco-an organization that will be held accountable for the safe passage of the in strument through the Legislature.
 Besides this there is great deal of legislation which ought to be enacted, and if the Legislature does not get to work promptly much of it will fail and the remainder be crudey enacted The Senatorial contest IS not the only interesting feature of the coming session. The members can get together any time and elect Senator, but 1t requires industry and thought to enact laws What the Headers" should do all around is to sink their differences and CO., operate in promptly opening the State Printing Office If these men are not willing to do so State Printer Johnston should open his office regardless of them. majority of the Legislature will sustain him.

AN EDDY IN THE MONEY MARKET

IT CURIOUS condition of affairs prevails in the / \ money markets of the Eastern States and Of Europe Something like an eddy has been formed ill the channels of finance, and considerable sums of money have been whirled around and d- verted to directly opposite to that in which they would naturally flow.
 A late report of the Treasury Department in re- viewing the effects of the favorable balance of trade between this country and Europe says: "A year ago 1t was estimated that the United States had balance of $Sooooooo to $ooooo GOO in Europe and is sup posed that the amount has been increased. This money is left in the Old World because it can earn higher rate than in the United States. In Germany it commands as much per cent while call loans are being made in New York as low l # per cent and time loans at 3 per cent. The great banks of Europe have been forced to advance their discount rates to prevent such flow of gold to America as would embarrass foreign money centers"
 It is further to be noted that so much money has been accumulated in the money centers of the East that there has been simultaneous movement in New I ork and New England to reduce rates of interest paid on bank deposits There has been marked de mand for bonds of all kinds, bankers and capitalists complain of the difficulty of placing good loans and
 the opinion is freely expressed that the United States have reached point where they can become the banking nation of the world able to furnish money di Africa or any other land that may need it.
 fhis condition is unnatural. It can hardly be more than an eddy in the current that turns money from New York to Germany instead of to the Western and the Southern States There are far better opportu- mites for investment in the United States than any where else at the present tme and if the New York capitalists enterprisng as they rich, they would seek them out and by building up their owr country get better of interest than they ever get in Europe
 California alone absorb large amount of ths
 idle capital of the East and proftably employ it Within her domain are thousand opportunities fo
 investment. She has rich mines still undeveloped forests uncleared and lands untitled More than that She has abundance of raw material that could b, proftably worked up by the construction of factorie
 in her cities The State ships fresh fruit and import preserves it ships leather and imports shoes 1t send forth wool and imports cloth
 The whole of the West and the South IS in a con diton similar to that of California Every State ant Territory in that wide domain lying west of the Mis-

RESULT OF HOBsON'S CHOICE
The Young Naval Hero May Become Admiral at 1ie
 Age of 40,

It is not surprising that Naval Con- structor Hobson should have signified his desire to the Navy Department to be transferred to the line, for more honor and emoluments await him in that branch of his service than in his present corps. If the original proposition regarding his place in the line corps is adhered to MT. Hobsop, who now has the relative rank of lieutenant and as such takes prece- dence immediately after Lieutenant Roger Welles of the line; will be advanced to the rank of lieutenant commander and placed at the foot of that grade.
 It is equal to a jump of 250 numbers or twenty years service and no doubt, there will be some opposition made to this ad vancement, chiefly upon the ground that such jump is unprecedented in the ser vice. Lieutenant Cushing, who blew up the Albemarle, was advanced only fifty six numbers and made lieutenant com mander, and while Hobson's S advancement of 250 numbers is unprecedented the act for which he is to be rewarded was also unprecedented and would probably have made the gallant Cushing turn green with envy.
 Naval Constructor Hobson now receives salary of $3200 a year, which after five years is increased to $3400, thence advanc- ing by five-year stages until after 20 years service as naval constructor he Will re- ceive $4200 a year. At the end of twenty years he would, if still in the construc- tors corps, pernaps have reached the relative rank of commander, but the high est position he could attain in his present grade would be that of Chief Constructor with the relative rank of commodore and a yearly salary of $5000 As, however, there are twelve ahead of him as con- structor, his chances of closing the thirty four years yet remaining before he retires without reaching a higher relative rank than that of commander is more likely than his becoming Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repairs. When, therefore, MT. Hobson selects the line corps as his future place of useful ness in the navy he does so with a clear understanding of the not far-off ultimate result. His pay as a lieutenant command CT will only be s2S00 at sea and s2400 while
 on shore duty, but in less than six years

CUNNING AS MORAL CENSOR.

C BLOOM have the senses been shocked by the
 exhibition of such foulness as is embodied in - the man Cunning, in jail, where he threatens the thief and the assassin with the danger of contamination. He seems to be the essence of depravity a being without conscience, rocking with the stench of the abandoned-a who betrayed his trust who turned from his faithful wife to sort with lewd and lecherous creature beyond the reach of shame; who, pretending to reform, in suited this wife by continuing to write messages of love to the uncean outcaSt who had supplanted her.
 Cunning says that the morals of San Francisco are low. Surely 1t is not because they are low people look upon him with loathing and horror it is not because of this distressing failure reach the Dun ming standard that San Francisco views his presence much as it would the presence of leper, shvdders to know that he is here and will breathe easier when he has gone. Cunning, presuming to lecture San Francisco, would polute cesspool.
 San Francisco IS not perfect. There IS wickedness here, as in all great cities. There persons who steal who neglect their homes who by innate de pravty are led into forbidden paths But search Of the sums, raid upon the resorts of the criminal would not bring to light another vile as this Dunnng who from the witness-chair, which for him is degraded position that of the prisoner at the dock dares to criticize the morals of the city from which his own ndecency drove him.

IN DEFENSE OF
 REV. HENDERSON

To the San Francisco Call: In looking over the contents of your worthy paper of the 14th inst. I was astonished to see a remark made by some one regarding the character of the Rev. J. E. Henderson. I feel it my duty to pen a few lines 1n vindication of that gentleman's charae- ter The Rev. J. E. Henderson was sent by the conference to take charge of the work at Angels Camp, and during his stav on this work l was with him fre- ouently I can say that during the time that I have been member of the church in different countries (which is over fifty years) l have never met with more Christian gentleman than MT. Henderson. MT Henderson lives in the hearts Of the people in this little town to whom he preached.
 I am conscious that our people would vindicate the character of MT. Henderson at the risk of their own lives. His name is the household word in our town. 1 am prepared to vindicate MT. Henderson in every way that my assistance might be required. There is not a person in this community but would put his signature to this statement. Now, MT. Editor, would you be so kind as to insert this simple statement in your paper? In so do- ing you will confer a favor on your sub- scribers, who wish to speak in vindica- tion of the character of a good man and one that is beloved by us all. Hop ing that you will comply with the re- quest of the citizens of this place I am yours most respectfully.

TOO LATE FOR REFORM.

THE proposition to bring Rosser back and put
 him on trial for less crime than that of which
 he was unjustly acquitted is not a good one. The man has gone He disgraced the State enough by once showing the nefciency Of the police and the courts Brought back, he would doubtless repeat the humiliation
 Concession has been made to the Tennessee soldier that he had right to kill citizen His lawyer sob bngly made clear this point. The Judge agreed, and the jury stamped the decision official and final. If Rosser had a right to kill Hdebrand, he surely had a right to take harmless shot at the lad Walsh.
 Bringing Rosser back would entail great expense, and it would look like attempt of the lax authori- ties to acquire the respect that they deliberately cast away. There are better methods of accomplish ing the same end. There are more criminals than Rosser, and in the majority of cases their defenses are as imsy as that which took him from the shadow of imprisonment.
 Local jails fairly bulgng with murderers Probably five out of six of these deserve to be hanged Doubtless five out of six expect only tc be hanged but to go absolutely free. The proper method of the authorities will be to prove to these that assassins and thugs cannot rise superior to the law Let the police do their duty. They will find the sensation novel and pleasing Let the Chief be gal vanzed of his senle trance Let the District At torney perform serious functions than the draw ing of an unearned salary. Finally, let maudlin ana fearful enthusiasts, loving man-killer be deprived o influence and dullards, dotards and incompetents be barred from the jury-box.
