CHASTITY SIGHTS
ON SPANISH SHIPS

New York. July 26.--Captain David
Wolcott of the Merritt Chapman
wrecking steamer /. j. Merritt, who is
i'm charge of the wrecking expedition
at Santiago. endeavoring TO float somo
OF the Spanish war ships. has sent a
letter to the wrecking company, saying
that i'm his opinion the wrecks of the
Mercedes and Maria Teresa will be
floated and safely towed into Santiago
within the next few days.
Capt. Wolcott stated that the sights
in the vicinity of the wrecks are ghast.
ly. The divers sent down into the holda
of the sunken warships experienced
much difficulty IN working. being re-
tarded, he says, by the presence Of
the dead bodies of hundreds of Spanish
sailors who went down with the ships.
Capt. Wolcott says the wreckers have
but slight hope of saving the CristobaI
Colon, unless pontoons are promptly
sent. He reports, however, that most
OF her heavy guns and other valuables
Will be brought 10 the surface.
Capt. Wolcott In closing stated that
from appearances the Maria Teresa
after she is foated and has some tenn
porary repairs made would be able to
proceed to the United States under her
own steam.

LIGHTED SIDEWALK.
One Is Being Constructed on the New
Bridge at Market Square.

The "Aberthraw" is the name OF a
new patent lighted sidewalk that is be-
ing installed on the little circular
spot on the bridge at Market Square
which surrounds O large electric light
and trolley post. The purpose of a
lighted sidewalk Is to admit daylight
to dark place underneath and as it
will necessarily be very dark under
meath the bridge when the latter is
completed, It was deemed advisable by
the city authorities to have as much
light as possible near the centre of the
bridge and the idea of alighted sidewalk
suggested itself. They also decided
that 1t would be an advantage to have
a IMAM hole" with a row boat within
easy reach in case OF accidents occur
ring and the plans were made TO con-
form to this idea.
In the "Aberthraw" sidewalk tho
glass used is very clear, and admits
considerable light. The framework
which contains the small glass circular
pieces is OF cement instead OF iron as
Is used in the construction of other
lighted sidewalks.

Across the barren level of the parade
the troopers were marching up from
stables in their white frocks, and send
ing long shadows striaing up the oppo-
site eastward slope of the narrow can
yon. The officers, in parties of three or
four, were strolling homeward past the

groups OF merry children or sedately
trundled baby carriages. Three or four
OF the bigger boys were galloping their
ponies along the roadway. fresh
sprinkled by the huge water-cart. The
band that had been playing in its kiosk
in front of the line had picked up its
music-books and gone trudging bar
backward for change of raiment before
parade, skirting on the way the circular
plat of withered grass maintained at
vast expenditure of labor and water at
the foot of the staff from whose SHIN
mering peak hung, well-nigh motion
less, the blue aud scarlet and white of
the national flag. Northwestward the
distant line of the Mescalero stood blue
black against the cloudiess sky. Away
to the east rolled the dun pillows of

the San Mateo some Indian boys and
girls were jabbering shrill expostula-

placid burros, because they had the
