To Cure Creaky Boots.

"Cheap shoes are not necessarily Of
poor material said a shoe store
clerk. "Creaking often accounts for
the low price. Cheap double-soled shoes
nearly always creak. and h reason Is
that the two soles do not quite ft or
one is OF more pliable material than
the other. so that they rub against each
other. Among the remedies usually
tried is soaking the shoe i'm water or
oil. This is effective for a time. but
the cure is only temporary. The creak
invariably returns in a few days. How
ever. there is one certain and simple
remedy. 1t is to drive three little wood
en- pegs into the sole. The pegs pre-
vent the friction of the solcs. Any

tablishment to be maintained in the islands, pending their ultimate dispo- s1tion. The basis of the new tariff IS the draft of the present Spanish GUS toms schedules as supplied to the de- partment by the International Bureau of Customs at Brussels, but certain i'm portant departures from this code have been made for reasons set forth by the Secretary. The export charges levied on certain articles produced in the Phil lppine Islands the department has not thought 1t wise to continue, and it has also been deemed advisable to elimi- nate certain shipping charges which are regarded as too severe a tax upon com merce, and especially as likely to limit or decrease the revenue to be derived from the customs schedules. In clos ing his letter the Secretary makes a highly significant observation with re- gard to the exemptions provided in the Spanish schedule which have been eliminated from the new code These cover the entry free of duty of all ar ticles imported by or for the use of the Catholic church in the Philippine Isl ands, and in diplomatic terms the Sec retary states that this feature of the code had been stricken out, as 1t is not the purpose of the Government to dis criminate in favor of "any religious so- cieties"
 The latest estimate of the receipts from the Philippine tariff is given by the Treasury Department at $20,000.000 per annum It is calculated that the fact that state of war exists in the islands will cause a diminution In GUS toms collections which will be practi- cally offset by the more or less spec ulative tariff directed toward the isl ands as the result of the impression which seems to have gained general currency that large opportunities exist for making money.

Call Office, Riggs House,
 Washington, June Is.
 The announcement made exclusively in The Call last week that the Presi- dent had decided to appoint a Col lector of Customs at Manila, and that Joseph F. Evans of San Francisco would be the man selected for this i'm portant post, was verified to-day when the nomination of MT. Evans to be commissary of subsistence, with the rank of captain, was sent to the Sen ate. 1t is understood that it is the intention of the Treasury Department to have MT. Evans sail with General Merritt on the third expedition to the islands.
 commander in-c chief of the United States army, is now being prepared, and, unlike most documents, it will not be attested by the Secretary of State, but by the Secretary of War; for instead of being state document it is military proclamation. In the preparation of this paper the form of international law is followed, for since military government is to be estab- lished in the Philippines the laws be- tween nations must be observed. Whar- ton, the recognized authority on inter- national law, embraces in this code of nations all laws formed for provis- ional governments. This proclamation will follow closely general order Mo- 10l, promulgated by Secretary Stanton in 1863. In the collection of Philippine duties the Spanish tariff now in vogue will be closely adhered to- although certain oppressive international taxes will be abolished. The import and ex- port duties will remain much the same as at present. It is a singular fact that while the constitution of the United States expressly forbids the laying or collection of an export duty 1t will be levied and collected under the proposed Philippine regime, for un- der military government, based upon international law, 1t has always been the custom to continue in force laws as nearly as possible like that of the Government which it superseded, so that trade amongst the family of na- tions will not be disturbed" Thus, the export tax will be continued for a time at least, so that no injury will re- suit to the mercantile interests of any nation.
 In transmitting the new tariff to the President the Secretary makes some in teresting observations as to the spirit of the new code of customs, and in very frank terms gives his reasons for the notifications of the present Span ish tariff which have been made by the department. In acknowledging the re- ceipt of the Presidents request for the drafting of the tariff schedules the Sec retary repeats the Presidents state ment that the schedules are designed to enable the United States to secure from the trade of the Philippines a portion of the funds necessary to defray the expenses of the civil and military es-

NO FURTHER FEARS
 FOR THE MARINES
Officials at Washington Expect Im- portant News Shortly From
 General Shafter.

WASHINGTON, June 16-The off, cials are resting secure in the belief that the marines at Guantanamo can easily maintain themselves until the troops arrive.
 The officials in the War Department do not give out any specific informa- tion as to when General Shafter will land in Cuba, but from certain signs of restlessness exhibited by them it is evident that they would not be sur prised to have some very important news within the next twenty-four or thirty-six hours. The naval officials are confident Sampson will re-establfsh cable communication within that time, so news of the American ships off San tiago should not be longer delayed than the time required for a dispatch boat to make the run of forty miles east ward along the coast to the shores of guantanamo Harbor, where the cable will be working under the protection or Colonel Huntington's marines.

were badly treated, and were be- ing paid no wages. Many others were ready to surrender, but were told by the officers that the Americans would slaughter them mercilessly. The prisoner also declared the Spaniards were massing for an attack on Camp McCalla, and that they were try ing to bring field artillery to bear on the American position. As there was no attack last night our men suspect some surprise is be- ing prepared by the enemy. They assert, however, they are not afraid of any number of Span iards who may be sent against them.
 They placed a three-inch field gun and Colts rapid fire moun- tain battery on a hill during a temporary cessation of hostilities and now are prepared to give the Span1ards a warm welcome. The Americans spent the morning cutting and burning the under growth about the camp to de- stroy the hiding places to which the enemy .resorted during the opening engagements. The Span 1sh troops are not expected to fight in the open, as they are practically helpless if they have nothing behind which to hide.
 The funeral of Juan Suarez, one of the Cubans killed in yes terday's engagement, took place this morning, and was very inn [ esslve. The body was taken to the Dolphin and there sewed in canvas. The Cuban compatriots then brought the body ashore and, wrapping an American flag about 1t, proceeded up the hill, followed by sailors and detach- ment Of marines. The body was laid fifty yards from the trenches and Captain McCalla read the bu- rial service. The squad then pull ed the triggers of their guns, but no cartridges were used in order not to draw the Spanish fire. The men then marched away, leaving half a dozen behind to dig the grave and lower the body.
