CARRIED BY SPANIARDS.
TORAL' MEN TO BE TAKEN HOME
By COMPATRIOTS.

The Contract for Their Transportation
Awarded to the Spanish Transatlantic
Co. at $50 Piece for Men and
$50 for the Oficers.
Arrangements have been concluded by
the government for the transportation of
the Spanish prisoners at Santiago from
Cuba to Spain.
The contract was awarded to the Span
ish Trans Atlantic Company, represent
ed by j. NJ. Caballos d Co., to carry the
prisoners from Cuban ports to Spain at
the rate of $40 for each enlisted man and
$55 for each commissioned officer, sub
sstence to be furnished by the company
on the army ration basis, as provided for
in the governments advertisement for
bids.
The award provides also that the com
pany shall have five ships at Santiago in
nine days, two in seventeen days and
enough to complete the transportation Of
the prisoners In twenty-0ne days
Two days ago Colonel Hecker, in
charge of the transportation of troops in
the quartermaster's department of the
army, went to New York to consult with
shipping companies concerning the
transportation of the Spanish soldiers
surrendered at Santiago. Bids which
he bad previously advertised for were
opened at the army building in New
York, Colonel Hecker returned to
Washington and had conference at the
war department with Secretary Alger,
Quartermaster General Luddington and
Adjutant General Corbn. Three bids
of the several companies were cansider-
ed, that of the Spanish Transatlantic
Company finally being accepted, as in all
respects it was regarded as the best
made. On the basis of $4,000 enlisted
men and 1000 officers, it will cost the
government $685., 900 to transport the
prisoners.
The ships will fly the colors of Spain
and will be manned, PROBABLY, entirely
by Spanish crews. 1t was remarked as
one of the curious developments of the
war that the United States government
should enter into a friendly contract
with a company many of whose vessels
are auxiliaries to the Spanish navy and
some of which haYe been captured or de
stroyed by the navy of the United States.

NOVEL LETTER DELIVERY.
Experimenting with a Unique system in
SWItZerl md.

Switzerland.
In Geneva, Switzerland, a novel system
for delivering letters in high apartment
houses is being tried On the ground
floor is arranged cabinet having as
many compartments and boxes as there
are floors in the house. When a letter
is deposited in any box it makes a con
tact which rings bell on the core
spending floor. The bell can only be
stopped by the removal of the letter.
The same current that rings the bell
opens valve connected with water
tank in the top of the house, Here are
located cylinders attached by cords and
pulleys to the letter boxes and so ar
ranged that when they are filled with
water they will serve to haul the letter
box with its contents to the proper floor.
When the box arrives the letter is auto
matically dumped into a stationary re-.
ceptacle and a the same time the cylin-
der is discharged of its water. The let
ter box then descends to the lower floor.
the bell stops ringing and it remains in
position, waiting for the next visit of the
pOStman.
