CURIosITIEs OF THE BANK OF ENG
LAND.-Some Of the curIosities Of
theiBank OF England are well worth
describing. In the printing room
a man sits at a little table, and
every three seconds a machine
hands him two complete five pound
notes. If he sits there six hours
he receives over seventy thousand
pounds, and in 900 days over
twenty millions in paper money!
1t is a strange duty for a man to
have to periorm--to sit at a table
to receive from machine twenty
millions a year.
The vaults where the gold is
stored are still more curious. In
the nte-chamber to the gold king s
throne room are few men attired
in almost medieval costume, COM
manded by a very modern person
age, who wears irock coat and a
silk hat. The latter, with the as
sistance OF another, who is also
sprucely dressed, unIocks the iron
gates Of the vault. Around the
we'll whitewashed cellar are ar
ranged trolleys, upon each OF
which rest bars Of pure gold to the
amount of $50, 900, the particular
vault to which visitors are admit
ted containing two millions worth
Of bullion. Through the thick
wall can just be heard the confused
murmur ofthe mYriads above, who
are hurrying, working and worry
ing, eagerly endeavoring to obtain
some trifie Of the treasure which
rests so placldly on the trollevs.
Has there ever yet been a million
aire miser who has built tor his
gold such a throne room7 and did
he sit there through the days think.
ing out the good and all the evil
which these millions might be made
to dor But millionaires seldom
are imaginative.

PEACE NOT IN SIGHT.

Washington, d. c., July 2O.-The
probabilities of peace are as remote to-
day as ever. NomOve in that direction
has been made by any foreign officials
here, and despite the pitif1l condition
of Spain, her pride appears to restrain
her from making any direct overtures.
A cabinet official, in speaking of the
situation today, said it was amazing
that Spain seemed to lack all compre-
hension of her deplorable condition.
The government is perfecting ar
engagements to transport the Spanish
troops who surrendered at Santiago to
Spain according to the terms of surren-
der. The work will probably he done
by neutral steamship company under
contract.

EQUALLY MATCHED.

Admiral Cervera's despatch to his
government that he had been over
powed by triple force" is riddled by
the facts of the running fight off San
tiago as terribly MS were the Admiral's
ships by our gun fire. The truth is
that it was four Spanish ships to four
Americans, the Brooklyn, Oregon, Tex
as and Iowa, with the latter retiring
very soon after the fight began. Our
heavy guns, also, did not bring the
victory, but the guns of small calibre,
of which the Spaniards had just as
many. So the brittle Santiago. with its
seemingly miraculous difference in the
numbers of men killed on the two
sides, was won by the men behind the
guns.

Movement Against Porto Rico Begun
by General Miles.
THE DOVE OF PEACE BRINGS NO OLIVE BRANCH,
Troops are Leaving Chickamauga to Embark

With the United States Troops Be-
fore Santiago de Cuba, July IA, via
Kingston, July 15.-The reverses to
the Spanish arms in eastern Cuba are
complete. Santiago has fallen, and
with it all the eastern end of the is
land. General Toral, the Spanish COM
mander, agreed to the general terms of
the surrender at a personal interview
with General Shafter this afternoon, at
which General Miles was present.
The victorious American army, after
campaign of three weeks of almost
unprecedented hardships for both Off
GERS and men, accepts the news with
heartfelt relief.
The victory is greater than appeared
at first. All the Spanish troops in the
Fourth corps, the military division of
Santiago province from line drawn
north from Acerraderos, eighteen miles
west of Santiago, through Las Palmas,
Palmas Soriann, Alcantara, to Sagua
de TanamO, on the north coast and
eastward to Cape Maysi are surren-
dered, and the territory is abandoned.
Between 1900 and 10000 Spanish pris-
oners are taken, about 10000 of,whom
are in Santiago. The remainder are at
Guantanamo and others are garrisoned
in the towns of eastern Cuba. All
these troops are to be embarked and
sent back to Spain under parole.

A GENERAL DUTY.

"A NJEN Email ~
While other parts OF the country
have to bear the annual infection of
Oyerfows, back waters ond other
causes which deposite filth and de-
bris in their midst, we, in the upper
part of Sequachee Valley, being high
and dry, are protected from such in
flictions, and we have nothing to fear
from such causes, which is a matter
of satisfaction, or at least, should be
to all.
But if we are protected in these
particulars, our duty Is none the less
plain, at this time of year to clean
up and every one should be respon-
slble for the part Of the place they
inhablt. There is a certain amount
of debris and impedimenta which III
every home and its surroundings are
the result of winter, and which have
gradually accumulated, and it is the
duty OF every citizen to clean up lis
property.
Fever germs are eBgendered by
filth. The action of he sun develops
them, and sickness is the result If
we do not do our duty, we may ba in
measure responsible for the afllict-
ions which may come to others.
We know some will say they have
no time to clean up. Let them use
the time spent staying around the
stores. Get your homes cleaned up
and the chances of paying doctors
will be less.
1t is true that what is eyerybody's
business is no ones, but on the
grounds of personal benefit, we APP
peal to every reader of this paper to
do his or her duty, and later on we
believe they will admit they have
been benefited, and your homes be-
ing neat and clean will command re-
spect from the outsider who passes
by,
The first impressions of stranger
coming into a place is made by the
appearance Of houses, and their sur
roundings, and health is out of the
question, but of cleanliness is evi
denced on the premises it creates in
the mind Of any stranger a respect
for its owner or occupant, which he
naturally withholds from the occu-
pant Of a dirty, disordered place.
The beauties of a fine landscape
are often married by the neglect and
Iaziness Of an individual, and to
make blotch on a beautiful p cture
we regard as n crime.
So, therefore, let us all take hold,
and clean up. Do it not only as a
matter of duty but as showing pride
in the town in which we live. Con-
tinue and remember that anything
which is done and worth dong,
should be done we'll
Home, no matter how humble is
what the occupants make it, and tive
wife who has to occupy it most, will
appreciate it more, if the outside
part, which properly belongs to the
head Of the family are made neat and
nice, as if in sympathy with the neat,
ness as we'll kept interior But
when the outside conditions are not
cared for, and disorder prevails, can
one wonder if woman sometimes get,
discouraged, but we trust such cases
are few.
So then, IN these spring months
let us all take hold and do our duty
not only to ourselves but to our
neighbor5. And let as all, everybody
take pride in a good, clean town.

little else than sift the wheat from the chaff of rumors that reach the depart ment, cutting out the most reliable re- ports and cabling them to the admiral commanding for his information.
 Admiral Dewey to-day reported to the Navy Department under date of Cavite, May 25, via Hongkong. May 27, that the blockade of Manila was eff fective and the people of that place are unable to procure any provisions ex- cept rice. This news has caused the War Department to redouble it's eff forts to send re-enforcements to Dewey at the earliest possible date, as the President is very anxious that there shall be an ample force of troops at hand to command order in case the city of Manila is surrendered. He is spe- cially solicitous that there shall be no rioting by the insurgents.
 In this connection General Schofield has made a suggestion concerning the question of transports that may have a wide reaching consequence. Enough ships cannot be secured to take the en-
 
 tire 15,000 soldiers to Manila, and 1t Is feared there will have to be wait of several weeks for the return of the transports that take the first two expe- ditions to Manila.
 General Schofield has suggested that all the vessels of a class not fitted for a voyage to the Philippines, but able to make Honolulu, should be impressed and troops in addition to those sent di rectly to Manila should be rushed over to Hawaii. Then the returning trans ports from the former place could coal and pick up the waiting forces at Hon olulu, thus saving three weeks on the round trip.
 But of course that cannot be done unless the stars and stripes are hoisted at Honolulu, for under no other cir cumstances can the islands be used as a military base. The President is more anxious to have the resolution of an- nexation pass the House sthan the Sen ate. But Speaker Reed does not agree with the President in this matter, and Is determined not to permit tne IeSolu- ton to come to vote.
 The adoption of General Schofeld's plan, therefore, rests upon the ability of the annexationists to dispose of Speaker Reeds opposition, task that Is by no means light one.
 The Presidents plans of conquest over Spanish territory were amplified by rumor to-day to include the seizure of the Caroline Islands, which are said to be suffering from Spanish misrule. Careful inquiry fails to disclose any basis for this report. The administra- ton has it's hands full without under taking another comprehensive e. oedi- tion.
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-29

Itself reliable thus far, and for that reason the news received to-day was accepted etS positive. It did not come rom any naval or State Department officials. There is little doubt, how ever, that it would ba supplemented by ofhc1al advices from Admiral Schley, if, indeed, such advices have not already been received, though up to the close or office hours the Navy Department | had not bulletined anything from Schley. The officials were in a state of expectancy, having learned from the press dispatches from Kingston that the scouting vessel Harvard was there with reports
 Relying on the advices received the naval officials feel that the entire mili- tary situation is simplified. With the SpaniardS inside and the Americans outside of Santiago harbor 1t is said that the power of mischief by the Span- ish fleet is at an end. One distin- guished officer remarked that as a re- suit of the information received he felt ten years younger since yesterday. He said Commodore Schley could now spare several of the ships from his squadron to permit them to join in of- fensive demonstrations elsewhere.
 All Schley needs, it is pointed out, is a small force to watch the entrance of Santiago harbor. Two battleships and two cruisers would be ample for this service as such force would largely overmateh the four arnlored cruisers in the Spanish squadron. In this way Cervera's fleet can be kept pocketed without keeping a large number of American ships out of active service at other needed points.
 In calculating upon keeping the Spaniards penned up in this fashion the officials have taken into account the possibility of the dispersion of the American blockading fleet by one of the tropical cyclones that are almost due at this season. The American fleet in such case would be obliged to cut and run for some neutral port or to make it's way by force into one of the Cuban ports for shelter. In either case there might be an opportunity for the Spanish fleet to make it's escape. pro- viding the commanding officers were willing to take the desperate chances of going out in weather heavy enough to compel the big American ironclads to seek shelter. and we failed to block the harbor by scuttling barges in the chan nel.
 On her way to this country the Viz caya passed through some very heavy weather, almost approaching the cy- clonic, and proved that her. class ' able to withstand such storms with perfect safety
 During the day the Navy Department posted bulletin giving reassuring ad- vices from Admiral Dewey This was the only specific bit of information given out during office hours. It was a day replete with rumors, some of them of very sensational nature, but the various reports of sanguinary bat ties failed of verification
