An interesting rumor in circulation in the
Navy Department today Is that change
is imminent in the important office Of chief
of the bureau of navigation. now held by
Commander Crowninshield. The strain
that officer has been under since the de-
nervous system and 1t has been suggested
that sea voyage would be Of great bene-
fit to him. In case his health will permit
it he will be given command Of a ship COM
mensurate with his rank, II there is one
available. His last sea service was in COM
mand Of the Inflated battle ship Maine.
which duty he relinquished when he re-
ceived the appointment as chief Of the navi-
CATION bureau. The duties Of that Office
are not wholly congenial to him. and It is
said he would prefer sea duty. In view of
his probable detachment the gossips are
active in their speculations as to his sue
cessor. They have agreed that Rear Ad-
miral Walker. retired. is most likely to re-
ceive the assignment. provided he would
take 1t. There Is considerable doubt on the
latter score, however, as 1t Is well known
that Admiral Waikershas much higher as

1t is q common experience to see " COM

of this great blood purifying medicine.

blood disease. If disease has its origin

the disease.
The great feature of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-

its use. Many medi cines only suppress

under the skin, they paint the complexion

commander. seeing that further resist
ance was useless, hoisted the white

The losses, American and Spanish
are not yet known. The Spaniards in
the trenches probably numbered 1900
men. The Anne rican attacking force
numbered 10000, and the Americans
were better armed, better trained and
in better condition.
The foreign fleets watched the bonn

American warships engaged were the

1t is asserted by Spaniards that "the
Americans lost heavily in the storm
ing, owing to the faulty construction
of their entertainments, which the
Spaniards could command from the
heights and upon which they poured a
calling fire."
The Spanish trenches extended
around Manila at distance of from
two to four miles from the walled city,
forming circle ten miles in circum-
ference, and it was impossible, the
Spaniards say, to hold so long a line
against the American attack.
Admiral Dewey and General Merritt,
it is reported, had issued orders to
spare all except the armed defenses of
the city, and consequently the town is
understood to have been but little dam

Over Seven Hundred Bodies Have Been
Thus Disposed of.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. II. = The
bodies of the dead Spaniards are to be
cremated Over 700 have been burned
so far. Yesterday seventy bodies were
to be cremated. Over two rails a dozen
bodies are stretched and across them
another dozen and about 30 corpses are
stacked in an immense funeral pile 10
feet high. The pile is then saturated
with kerosene and the torch applied
A fall of rain put out the fire, causing
the bodies to be only half burned.
Around the pile lay % coftins, contain
ing corpses in state of decomposition.
Several naked bodies were strewn on
the gro und in condition of putrifica-
ton. Altogether about seventy I'M
buried and unconsumed bodies were
there. The stencil was terrible. This
happened at cemetery within the city
limits. The authorities and the ceme-
terry officials say IL is impossible to get
men to work at the cremation. Wages
of dollar day prove no inducement
to the natives to work at this grue-
some toll.
The seventy bodies had to be left on
the earth until today, when the work
will be continued. These seventy
corpses represent two days dead from
the Spanish camp. The danger to the
from the stencil, the pres
ence of the buzzards, vultures and flies
is incalculable.

The FATE OF Two EAGLES WHO
"SHoRT- -CIRCUITED" A TRANsMIs-
SION LINE. Two eagles alighted
on an electric transmission line in
California and caused their own
demise and a short circuit on the
line The ToHIHaL Of Ekeckytcsty
(San Francisco) states that the
generating plant Of the San Joaquin
Electric Company, of Fresno, CAL,
was one day pumping 10000 volts
SerenelY into the transmission line,
when suddenly one OF the circuits
developed dead short circuit. with
the almost instantaneous open cir-
cutting and grounding OF the two
legs OF the circuit which were on
the upper cross arm. This, of
course, interrupted the service in
Fresno, and the ground thus
thrown on was so severe that il
became impossible to burn it out.
After a few minutes delay the
service was resumed over the Sec
ond transmission line which had
remained uninjured. Linemen
were sent out at once to ascertain
the cause OF the trouble and repair
the broken circuit, and after hav-
ing gone over nearly thirty miles
of line, they reached a mountain
top about FIVE miles from the power
house, where the break was dis
covered. AS to the cause Of il,
there were found the scant relics
OF two gray eagles, consisting
merely Of one skull and four feet
and parts of legs. Two Of the
talons were clutched tightly to the
line wires in literal realization OF
the grip of death, while the re-
naming two feet and parts of legs
were free from the marks of roast
ing, or rather from the burning to
a crisp, that characterized the feet
that clutched the wires. Not a
vestige OF the bodies or feathers OF
either bird, nor OF the head oil one
Of them, could be found. Another
interesting specimen was found,
however, which shows the terrific
heat of the electric arc. The soil
along the pole line at the place in
dicated consists of pure granite
sand, which, wherever the wire
touched the ground. had become
melted into glass, and even a piece
Of quartz had been fused and run
in together with the glass. The
circumstances of the accident sup-
gests a theory for it, as evidently
the two eagles alighted on different
legs OF the three-phase circuit
within close proximity to each
other; that they actually came
into contact, and, in SO doing,
formed a short circuit, which not
only incinerated the eagles, but
threw the lVIres into short circuit
and burned them off.

THE ORLoFF DIAMOND. AT the
beginning Of the eighteenth CEN
tury soldier attached to one OF the
French garTisons in India became
enamored Of the eyes of Brahma,
in the temple ofSerringham. These
eyes were diamonds, more brilliant
than ever shone under the eye
brows of Crapauds European div.
initieS. Their luster captivated his
soul. He haunted the temple, and,
yielding to the might of the god,
became a convert to his worship
AT leasthe so persuaded the priests,
who went so far as to admit him to
some care Of the temple, doubtless
trusting Brahma to protect his
own. But on stormy night the
convert disappeared, and with him
one of the idols eyes, the other
having resisted all his efforts to
dislodge it. So Brahma was left
squirting and the perhdious
Frenchman sold his prize to a cap
tain in the English navy for about
$4,000. Later:it was bought by
the Armenian merchant Schaffras
for more than FIVE times this sum,
and shown by him to Catherine of
Russia, who offered ioi it about
$500, 900, a life pension OF SIS, 1000
and a patent Of nobility. Schaffras
refused this offer, and subsequently,
sold the diamond to Gregory Or
loft for the same sum, without the
patent Of nobility. Orloff, part
author OF GATHERINGS greatness,
and raised by her to the steps Of
the throne, for whom she struck
medals, raised triumphal arches
and dedicated palaces, to whom
she offered secret marriage, and
whom in another caprice she ban
ished Count Gregory, being re-
instated in favor, offered his impe-
rial mistress two tokens of recon
ciliation, the St. Petersburg arse
nal and the Orloff diamond.
