THE SQUADRON BULETTIN.
Second Edition of the Tiny Paper
Reaches Washington.

Washington, July "A second edf-
ton Of the Squadron Bulletin, publish
ed on the flagship New York, off San
tiago, has just reached the navy de-
partment and for a tiny sheet, four
by seven inches, it abounds in news of
its date, that is June II. Most of the
facts set out in the bulletin have al
ready been treated by the press cor
respondents with the squadron ashore.
A large part of this particular issue is
made up of a letter written by Felix
Pareja, at Guantanamo, addressed to
the Spanish military commander at
Santiago, which was captured by the
CUbans en- route. The latter gives a
description of the Spanish point of view
of the attack by the American fleet on
entrance to Guantanamo bay. The
writer said that as Playa del Este had
only two muzzIe loading guns and sand
entrenchments, the detachment could
do nothing before the ships firing on
them from all sides so the soldiers were
obliged to retire. The writer speaks
of the shortage of ammunition among
the Spaniards and comments with an
air of wonder upon the serenity with
which the American squadron took pos
session of the outer bay "as if for a
harbor Of rest" He declares that he
has no -four and is serving out half ra-
ttons and is in hard straits generally.
A paragraph from the Bulletin an
nounces that Garcia is on his way with
5000 men, all well armed and supplied
from the expedition OF the Florida He
was said to have left behind number
of his men to prevent any junction with
the Spanish forces at HoIguin.

PULLMAN PROFITS.
Big Dividend Deolared-Stock Rises
to $211.

Chicago, July 2.-The board of direc-
tors of the Pullman Palace Car COM
pany have adopted resolutions for
quarterly dividend of 81 per share, pay
able on and after August Is, and also a
special dividend of $50 per share. The
clared on the capital stock should, in
the opinion of the directors be at the
rate of per cent per annum. They al
SO recommend that the surplus assets
Of the company to the extent of $1S,-
100000, existing at the end of the cur
rent fiscal year should be distributed to
the stockholders of the company and
should be increased to the sum of $54,-
900, 900 and that the increase Of stock
should be issued to share holders in the
ratio Of one share for each two held by
them.
Pullman stock rose to $211 a share.
'Deducting the two cash dividends
amounting to $22, which are payable in
should sell at 1S9.
The stock dividend of so per cent in
creaSes the capitalization of the Pull
man company from SS6 000, 900 to $54,
900 600. Therefore the ex-cash dividend
price of the stock at 1873 is III times
what the price per share should be aft
er the stock dividend is paid.
On todays price basis, therefore Pull
man stock after the payment of the
three dividends should be worth S127-
probably fair price for a per cent
rate.
The object Of this capitalization of
surplus, distribution of cash dividend
and decrease in future dividend rate is
undoubtedly for the purpose of warning
off hostile legislation in the future and
Of preventing undue" taxation on
earnings.

fifteen miles TO Palma Sorani Had the
line run due north Il would have passed
west Of Holguin, thus taklng the Span

General Toral wished TO avoid the in
cluSlon OF Holguln, so the line turns a.
bruptly TO the northwest CT Palma and
then runs 10 the coast town OF Del casa

OF this surrendered tract is about 10
miles and the extreme width about 80
miles. IL is a rugged mountainous coun-

Santiago, with its fine harbor, is the main
point while Guantanamo Is second In i'm
portance.
Except the Spanish force at Santiago,
numbering about 1900, there are no
Spanish troops within the surrendered
zone, as 1t has been overrun b. Garcia's
forces, The Spanish garrisons are at
