Army Promotion..
From the St. Louis Globe. Democrat.

Casualties at Santiago will necessitate many
promotions Of officers Of the regular army. And
when the promotions have been made there will
be between fifty and hundred vacancies Of the
lieutenant rank to be filed by transfers from the
volunteer officers or from non-commissioned off,
GERS of the regular army. No matter how short
many from civilian to permanent military life.
Twenty-four officers have been killed at Santiago.
There were two colonies, one major, seven cap
tains and fourteen heutenants. For each of the
higher positions there will follow half a do1en
promotions, as the grades are successfully filed.
Seventy-seven officers have been wounded at San
ately and retired being incapacitated for further
service. This will mean more vacancies. It will
be the Presidents policy to make promotions Of
regular officers and confne the transfers Of vol
unteer officers chiefly to the lower, grade lieuten-
ants The transfers will not take place until the
volunteer officers have had opportunities to earn
these life appointments,

Baltimore. July 3o.-War risks on ves-
sells leaving here, which was a feature Of
the insurance business for several

TWO MOONS IN AUGUST.
The Orb of Night VIII BE Fall Next
Month ON the First and Last Day.


There will be two full moons in Aug
ust, one occurring on the first day and one
on the last Full moons occur twice in the
same month only once in about three
years, and there will not be two full
moons in one month again until 1901.
The time which elaDses between the
two consecutive full moons or new moons
is termed a synodical month. and con-
sists of . days, II hours. A minutes and
seconds. Consequently all the phases
proper to the moon must occur during
that interval If. therefore, a new moon
occurs on the first of a month. and the
month has more than . days and II
hours, the same phase of the moon may
occur again. The same rule holds good
for the full moon.
A Baltimore man has compiled the fol-
lowing statistics of new and full moons
occurring twice in month during the
past eighteen years:
1850. new moon. December / and 80.
1852, full moon, June / and 80.
1883, new moon, August and 81.
1884. full moon, December and 81.
1856. new moon, July ! and 80.
1889. new moon, January and 80.
1891. new moon, November l and 80
1885, full moon, January and 81
1894. new moon, July 2 and 81.
1895. full moon. December 2 and 81.
1897. now moon. May and 81.
1895. full moon, August 4 and 81.

The world has heard much of the

been: however, so generally known
that the famine Was one uf money
rather than food; that The contrib
utlOnS were chiefly forwarded to
ludla in the form OF money, not grain.
and that during the whole period of
the famine rice was abundant wntre
men were starving aud It's price was
but trlfie over d cent pnund, les,
than The price OF wheat in Eug and.
For all these evils the loss H. the value
of the savings Of the people, the dis
advantage of different purchasing
value for silver 10 India from that
which prevailed in China, the evils of
an insufficient volume of money and
the enormous injury which commerce
suffers through violent fluctuations

what We believed to be remedy.

must be considered as final until the
failure of theexperiment upon which
the India government has entered

The fight between the Denver

gan nine days ago, ended last week
with the unconditional surrender of

papers have agreed upon a new scale
of rates somewhat higher than the
previous one and this has been ac-

was precipitated by demand fr"n
the advertisers for a reduction Of
about 80 per cent in the rates OF I'D
