made preliminary arrangements for the

and the proper officer also secured beau
tiful white pigeon. which forms a prominent
part in the ceremony. Judge tho surprise of
tina merabers when they saw the pleasant

left the hospital on his own account.

were the Iowa, Indiana. New York.
Terror, Amphitrite. Detroit. Montgom-
cry, Wampatuck and Porter. The
enemys firing was heavy, but wild. and
the Iowa and New York were probably
the only ships hit. They went right up
under the guns In column. delivered
broadsides. and then returned. The line
passed thrice In front OF the forts, pour
ing tons OF steel on shore.
1t is impossible to judge the amount
OF the damage done TO the buildings and
forts. They appeared to be riddled with
shot. but the Spaniards were plucky.
The after turret of the Amphitrite got
out of order temporarily during the en-
gagement. but she banged away with
her forward guns. After the first pas
sagt before the forts the Detroit and
the Montgomery retired, their guns be-
ing too small TO do much damage. The
Porter and the Wampatuck also stayed
out OF range.

Trade Conditions the Opposite OF What

pany's weekly Review Of Trade says:
Hostilities have lasted long enough to
kill many predictions, II but few Amer
leans. The European notion that the
United States would begin by having q
bad half hour; the theorists notion that
everybody knows a great panic must
follow the outbreak OF war" the COM
mercial buyers notion that everybody
would be ready to sell everything cheap
IL war came; the notion that 1t would
pay to hoard money until the emergency
had passed. have all been made laugh
able already. The only panic was when
money lenders were wondering what
deadly impossiblllties the unknown
might have In store for them. The only
hindrance Of industry has been due to
the waiting Of buyers who looked for
lower prices.
Nothing dlsheartenlng can be seen In
the industrial situation except the clos
ing OF some cotton mills owing TO over
production, and the fall OF print cloths
TO 1.6 cents. Cotton has not risen above
6.37 cents. and many stories Of reduced
acreage are current. as year ago. but
they DO not weigh much In view OF actual
receipts OF 10 100000 bales. Prices for
wool are somewhat more Arm. and there
