SILL In HE TRENCHES

Before Santiago de Cuba, July Is. via
Kingston Jamaica, July l6 g q MI
The Spaniards this friday morning are
still haggling over the terms of the ca
| pltulation- They now claim that there
has been DO surrender and allege that the
work of the commissioners is entirely pre-
Hminary and must be ratified by the gov
| eminent at Madrid in order TO be effect
| i've. This is clearly bad faith and not in
accordance with General ToraTs repre-
sensations to General Shafter. that Cap
| tain General Blanco had authorized the
| full surrender Of his forces.
The commissioners, in the meantime,
| have concluded the arrangements Of the
| terms covering the evacuation entirely OF
the province OF Santiago. They have been
! signed by both sides and now await the
approval Of Madrid.
! In the meantime the two armies remain
in the trenches.
General Shafter said this morning, re-
ferring 20 the situation:
THE Spanisrds claimed that the sur
render must be confirmed by Madrid. I
refused to consider any such contention,
for the surrender was complete and au-
thorized by Governor General Blanco and
was made by General ToraL This morn
ing General Linares sent me a letter beg
ging that the Spanish soldiers be permit
ted 10 take their side arms back to Spain.
He asked me 10 intercede with the presi-
dent, and If possible to arrange for re-
turn of the arms to the prisoners after
they had surrendered them"

Playa del Este, Province of Santiago
de Cuba, July 15.-(Delayed in transmits
sion.}-The commissioners appointed by
General Shafter and General ToraI to ar
range the details OF the surrender of the
Spanish forces in eastern Cuba are still
hard at work and probably their labors
Will not be completed before tomorrow
Saturday.
Though the understanding was that no
concessions were to be granted with the
exception ST allowing the officers to retain
their side arms. the Spanish commission
ers have been disputing and raising many
objections 10 the proposed arrangements.
The Spanish officers wish to have their
men march out of the trenches with their
arms, which they also insist are TO be
boxed up and shipped back to Spain with
the prisoners. This of course, has been
refused.
There is also much argument over other
details of the surrender.
The total number of Spanish troops in |
volved in the surrender will, it is said, |
run close to 5000. of which about 1900 |
are benin dthe entertainments of Santi- |
ago. The rest of the Spanish troops are
stationed at Sagua de Tanemo, Guanta- |
namo, Baracao and other seaports and |
fortified cities.
The $1,000 Spnish troops include about

Experiments Necessary.

To stop experiment is to stop action,
for the modern world is new world
and in it there are no tried and beaten
paths. The floods and glaciers of in
novation have carried away the an
cient landmarks, and by raising new
barriers and structures largely shut off
from all progressive peoples, even the
kindly rays Of the lamp Of experience.
No agitators, but science and inven-
ton, have pushed us away from the
ancient world, with Its well-worn roads
and lighthouses, and where we walk
now human feet never trod before. The
light from our foreheads Is our only
lamp, and eternal truth our only guide,
prefer to experiment, or to be expert
mented on; to be the surgeon, or the
corpse.--Walter Vrooman. in New

that no girl can. "She can merely ex-

comfort" Yet, as Miss Banks discov-

sands, of girls in this city who earn
50 a week and must keep themselves
from death or worse on just this sum
and no more. By publishing Miss
Banks stories and typical letters she
has received from despairing girls, the
evening edition Of the World has

VERSE FOR THE TIMES.

SHALL GREEDY LORDS THE LAND
POSSESS?
What means this cry Of dire despair
That rises up on every hand.
And fills the startled ambient air
Is red war lurking in the land?
No, not war where swords ami guns
And cannons smite and heroes lead;
But where our loved and helpless ones
Are ground beneath the heel Of greed.
The money-lender's selfish haad
Is outstretched wide for farms and
homes;
Starvation stalks within the land,
Despair throughout the nation roams.
The cry we raise for help, alas!
Our naughty masters proudly spurn;
What power ordained pampered class
To thankless spend what others earn?
Shall greedy lords and land possess.
And revel in their sordid gains?
Shall those we love, In sore distress.
Toll hopeless on while life remains?
No, by the shade Of Lincoln, no!
A proud and fearless patriot band
Shall rise and thwart the common foe,
And rescue yet our native land!

The Merry Bankers.

The banks demand that the govern
ment furnish them money with which
to carry on their business without
charge, says the Silver Knight Watch
man. The boldness Of the demand
makes our head swim. All the tailors
in the United States should now de-
mand that the government furnish
them cloth to carry on their business,
the shoemakers should demand leath-
er, the carpenters wood, the bricklayers
bricks, and so on ad infinitum.

This debt means an annual interest
charge of about 5000 for every family in
the nation, but it means much greater
burden than this to the farmers and
workingmen upon whose shoulders the
whole Is shifted. This annual interest
charge is payable in legal money only,
hence, as prices Of products Of labor
fall, as they must under the single
gold standard, the burden becomes
heavier each year. Something must be

The poultrymen of the United States de pend chiefly on the enormous home market, and they have rivals in the export of American eggs in the Cana dians, Canada ranking next to France and Italy and ahead of Denmark and Holland as an egg exporting country. Canada exports to other countries 300, ,000, 900 in a year. For the fiscal year of 1895 the treasury figures give the total exports of American eggs to foreign countries at 151 900 dozen, which is equivalent to 1,812,000 eggs. In the fiscal year 1896, however, the total exportation of American eggs in creased to 2S2,000 dozen, or 3,936,000 eggs, a lille more than twice as much
 The export figures for this year indi- cate still further increase, and a mar ket for American eggs is likely, there fore, to be secured in what the political campaign orators are accustomed to call. soms mswhat vaguely, the near fu- ture. It is somewhat curious fact that the weight of eggs is materially larger in northern than in southern climates.

STRIKE MAY LAST MONTHS.

J. W Barnes and Rcdy K5nehan members of the sta,e board of arbitra- tion, went to Marshall and Louisville yesterday for the purpose of investi- gating the strike in the Marshall mines and attempting to induce the miners to return to work in those mines if possible, but they were compelled to return to Denver last evening without having accomplished their mission.
 The two members of the state board were accompanied by Austin G. Cor ham, the operator of the Marshall mines. He went with them to again assure the striking miners that he stood ready to pay the schedule Of wages demanded by the union if they would go to work; and not only that, but he was willing to employ nothing but union men. But the proffers of MT. Gorham had to be rejected by the Marshall men because the union would not let them return to work unless all the miners in that district can get the scale demanded.
 When we went to Louisville yes terday we expected to meet the dis trict committee, composed of twelv9 men, two representatives from each of the unions in that district, but we saw but four, three at Louisville and one at Marshall" said MT. Barnes, the sec retary of the board, last evening. ''We learned that the two members of the board from the Marshall district, and the men they represent, are only too anxious to return to work, but the other ten members of the committee have repeatedly voted down any prop oslt1ons to that effect. The majority of the committee say that none of the miners shall go to work until the de- mands of the miners in the other dis tricts have been agreed to by the mine operators in their districts.

BENEFITS OF IRRIGATION.

Joel Shoemaker, a practical irriga- tion farmer of Utah, says that a "per- feet irrigation system constitutes a surface soil scavenger for carrying away all impurities and poisonous odors from decaying vegetation. Ma larial troubles are unknown in the land of irrigation because the spores do not form and cannot exist in a pure atmosphere. The watsr thor oughly washes the surface, deposting the decomposed substances in the waste ditches, from which it is carried to the streams and borne away, or, in case the vase does not return to the streams, the soil absorbs all disease germs and .emits healthful ozone to be waited upon the breeze into the fields and homes of the farmers In all cultivated areas, where irrigation is practiced, the surface soil is filled with channels cut by the water in it's rush to the subsoil strata, preventing loggy or sour soil and furnishing a means for sslf purifcation in the air cham bers beneath the low point. This ef- fects perfect drainage from the high lands and marshes, and leaves no stag nant pools to form miasmatic germs or diSease."

peculiar one, as he is in no way con- nected with the other mine operators in that district, and stands ready to pay the miners the scale of wages de- manded by them. He is willing to do anything within the bounds of reason to work his mines, but the representa- tives of the union say no; he cannot work them until the other mine oper- ators agree to pay the miners the wages they demand.
 You can readily see that our mis- sion amounted to nothing. We found the conditions as I have just describ- ed them; the men in one district will ing to go to work, but cannot on ac- count of the majority of the district cmmittee refusing O allow them to. The men in the Marshal district are afraid to go to work for fear of losing g their standing with the Western Fed eration. Our mission is now at an end, unless something new turns up, which I think very doubtful The mat ter has now sifted itself down to long drawn-out fight between the min CTS and operators, which will end no enc knows when. The men are better 10 strike during the summer than they are in the winter, and when it com mences to get cold there may be a change in affairs, if it does not come in the meantime.
