more enjoyed than the Ger
man given on Friday night
by Mrs. Mamie Hankins at
her beautiful home, Mari
Brook, near here. The house
was very tastefully decorated
with evergreens and ported
plants, and the mellow lights
from the blue and pink can
dies reflected a picture of low
illness and beauty which will
ever linger in the memory OF
those present as one OF the
most pleasant events OF their
lives. Music was furnished
bv a Richmond orchestra and
was of a high order. The
German was very gracefully

men, his ships and have the city of
Santiago burned and land in waste.
Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated
and placed in exile, yet his name
shines as bright today on the pages
OF history, as it did when he was
leading a victorious army. Robert
E. Lee was defeated, and surren-
dered an army that would have
fought to the death, but he had the
moral courage to offer his own name
as a sacrifice, tor cause he saw
would be surely lost in the end.
Cervera has, we believe, taken the
right view OF the matter aud sur
rendered the harbor aud town of

is the case, as it will come TO this in

TROOPS OFF SANTIAGO.
Sampson May be Able to make al
Easy Capture.

Washington June 9.-It is believed
here that the first re-inforcements
for Simpsons fleet have arrived
today off Santiago. These are 800
marines under the command of
Lieut.. Col. Huntington, who sailed
three days ago from Key West on
the steamer Panther. These ma
rines had been encamped on the
beach at Key West for several
weeks undergoing the most severe
drill and military training. They
are intended, not for distribution
among the fleet, but as a.landing
force pure and simple. Naval
officers are confident that with this
small but we'll disciplined landing
force, Admiral Sampson will be
able Immediately to take possession
of such points on the coast in the
neighborhood of Santiago as he may
deem necessary to serve as a base
for the occupation of the regular
United States troops when they
arrive With the marines in posses
sion of the beach and the American
war ships with their shells clearing
the country behind the Spaniards,
there will be little danger in effect
ing the landing of the troops.
Though no official confirmation has
yet reached the navy department
of the newspaper reports that come
from SIMPSONS fleet to the effect
that they landed marines at Caima-
manera, and that they are in poses
sion of a stragetic stronghold on
the hills near by, the naval officers
are inclined to accept the reports
as accurate. They feel a pride in
the fact that the navy, through its
marine adjuncts, has earned the
distinction OF being the first to oc-
cupy in force territory in Cuba.
The marines who effected this nota-
BILE feat we're drawn, it is believed,
from the entire feet and were
thoroughly capable and well disci-
plined troops.
The officials here express the be
lief that the regular troops have
already sailed from Tampa, but no
one is authorized, if advised of the
fact will make such statement
public

Sees a BoOger,

Washington, D. c., June 9.-The
naval officers were stirred up again
today by a report gaining currency
that some strange Spanish crafts
we're seen off the coast of Florida.
1t is thought these boats are moth
ing but small Spanish crafts with
few crnnon mounted, and are lying
in wait for the transports, that are
loaded with troops and are moment
arlly expecting orders to sail for
Santiago. 1t was pointed out that
Admiral Sampson had sufficient
force to capture Santiago without
additional troops on the sea unless
they we're heavily conveyed by
some of the best fighting cruisers
in SIMPSONS fleet.
1t was was pointed out by naval
officer that the admiral, since the
| arrival VI luC ludl luC OdIulllOh Oh
the Panther, has at his disposal
what he may regard as sufficient
force of men to. capture Santiago
even before the troops arrive. The
899 marines on the Panther, added
to the marines already with the
feet, would make a total of about
1900 men. Without impairing the
efficiency of his ships Admiral
Sampson could spare 1000 blue
Jackets for a landing party and
with this total force of 2400 men if
the insurgents who have been
armed by the United States govern
ment do their share it seemed pos
sible for Sampson to capture San
tiago at short notice. There
seemed to be very decided air of
expectation this afternoon among
the officials who are acquainted
with the governments plans in the
campaign that almost warranted a
conclusion that an engagement OF
some kind was expected at any mo-
ment.

SANTIAGO FALLEN,

The bulletins received here today
bring the news of the surrender of
Santiago. When we come to think
that Cervera is above the mediocre
of the Spanish commanders in learn
ing, and being a gentleman withal,
the news smacks of something like
truthfulness. Cervera has learned
that his position in the bay is not a
tenable one, from a military point
and he knows that his name will
shine brighter in history should he

 Patronage of Americans

ese merchants Discourage the
 fatronage of Americans.
 The worst salesmen in New York are 'ne Chlnese whose shops are in Dovers ana Mott streets, whose windows are nlieo with Chinese handiwork as a bid TOT the curious to enter. When T would De purchaser once gets sinside shop the proprietor treats him as an intruder. Most Of these shops are modelled on the same plan. Near the door is a little box Ike o1iice, and from this extends coun- ter half the length of the store. The pack of the store is shut off by a board partition, and if the visitor is curious and pokes his head around it q China man is very likely to appear from the darkness and gently push him toward the front of the room. If the store keeper rchooses to entertain few friends back there it is no one's business, and he doesn't propose to have intruders get any idea of what sort of entertainment he may be furnishing The dull, heavy odors that fills most of these little shops makes 1t possible to guess pretty accu- rately as to what is going onbehind the partition. Each shop has about the same collection of wares. Chinese edi- bles fill the shelves, and in the windows are brightly colored Chinese vases, bowls, fans, children's toys, and occa- sionally piece of carved ivory. There isn't much demand for carved ivory in Chinatown, and the small dealers say that it is too expensive to carry in stock An American customer who enters one of these shops is greeted by the pro- prietor with an indifferent Hello" and a perfectly expressionless face. The proprietor stands behind the counter, but he isn't anxious to sell his goods.
 Have you any carved ivory?" asks the customer.
 The Chinaman stares at him suspi- eiously and answers
 "No. No ivly. No got"
 There are three pieces in the case be- hind him, and the customer points them out. The Chinaman turns and looks at them as if he had never seen them be- fore.
 Let me see them?' asks the customer.
 Want to buy?" says the Chinaman, still without interest.
 The customer mods, and the shop keeper goes over to talk to a Chinaman who has just come in. Incidentally he looks at the customers shoes to see if they are the heavy soles and the square cut toes which stamp the wardman. If his conversation with the other China man proves uninterestihg he will come back to his customerand eye him suspici ously. He emay even be persuaded to take the worries out of the case and tell their prices. He shows no interest in it and it apparently doesn't occur to him that it is his business to sell his wares.-N. Y.

bought coupon bonds of small denomi- nation, so that the pile would be bigger to look at, and there would be more coupons to cut off. The old mans chief delight in life was cutting off these coupons.
 'I don't suppose that one needs to be miserly, though, to find enjoyment in such work as that. As matter of fact, I know of very few people, whatever their condition in life, or their temper ament, who would not find pleasure in plying the coupon shears. Not tso, how ever, with Silas-his name was Silas Saggleby-he was too lazy even for that; he used to hire a man to cut off the coupons for him. But the first thing he did after coming into the property was to change all the little bonds into the fewest possible big ones, so that there would be fewer coupons to cut and he could get the work done for the smallest possible amount. So you see that, lazy as he was, and he was the laziest man I ever knew, he had some thing of his uncle's thriftiness, too"
