AN EEL SKIN FACTORY.

One of the strangest factories that
ever existed, and what is more. pays
handsomely for its existence, is situa-
ted in quiet street in the neighbour
hood of London Bridge. Here are pre-
pared and manufactured various arti-
cles from the skin of the commonplace
eel.
The skins are manipulated by nu-
merous complicated processes until they
resemble and would easily be taken for
leather, although of a more gelatinous
and phable nature. This strange com
modify is cut into long thin strips and
plated very closely together for whip
lashes, and TO cover portions of the ham
dies of more expensive whips. Certain
kinds of lashes and harness laces are
also made of eel skin.
The leather is almost Indispensable
in articles of this description, where
flexibility allied with an uncommon
toughness is desired.-Golden Penny.

look in that section more Favorable.
More crops of most every kind were
planted this year than ever before and
all are in prime condition. The har-
vests of all. especially the potato and
the wheat crop. will be a great one, far
above the average, from the present
outlook and the only matter now both
cring the farmers is the price. as they

The potato raisers are also watching
the crop, ana say mat II they can onlN

weather, all will be Well This damp

potatoes to rust, and that seems to be
the greatest evil that threatens thcm
now.

and also open telegraph communication
by the way of Siboney down to near
Aguadores, to give information as to
the fall of the first Shots"
This was followed by the correspond
ence between General Shafter and the
Spanish commander at Santiago, in
which General Shafter demanded the
surrender of the Spanish forces. Copies
of this correspondence were forwarded
by General Shafter to Admiral Samp-
son. who was also advised of the terms
of the truce agreed upon.
On July 10th, General Shafter notified
the Admiral that the bombardment OF
the city would be resumed by the army
on the following morning. He inclosed
charts showing the position of the
American and Spanish lines, and re-
questing that the fleet begin the bonn
bardment at 4 o'clock p. m. on the
10th General Shafter added that il
would be very disastrous to the morale
of his men to have any Of the shells
fall near them, and he consequently
requested that the navy throw its shells
into the westward part of the city, near
the bay. promising that the falling OF
the first shell would be observed and
the results communicated to the fleet
by signal.
The bombardment was begun as re-
quested and there were several ex-
changes of notes between the General
and the Admiral as to the result of the
firing.
The following correspondence ther
took place:
Headquarters Fifth Army Corps,
s'July 11th.
Commander in Chief North Atlantic
| Squadron: My lines are now complete
to the bay north of Santiago. Your
shots can be observed from there per.
| fectly, at least those that fall in the
town. Flames followed several shots
| fired to-day, but seemed to be quickly
| extinguished. A number of shots fel
in the bay close to a small gunboat ly.
ing near the shore. At present they
are considering a demand for uncondi.
! tional surrender. / will notify you OF
| the result. l think it advisable to put
| in some heavy shots, say ten to thirteer
| inches, tomorrow, and see if we cannot
start a fire. Be careful not to shoot
| beyond the town, as my troops are
within one and a half miles of it, and
you will be firing directly toward us.
"SHAFNTER, Major General"
| Admiral Sampson notified Genera
Shafter on the 18th that he proposed
to begin the bombardment next morn
| ing with 13-inch shells. The Oregon
| Massachusetts, and Indiana were
promptly on hand on the morning oi
| the 18th, prepared to fire, but tele.
gram from General Shafter brought no.
tice of truce, pending negotiations fol
the surrender of the city. On July 10Th
| and 18th several notes were passed
| General Shafter advising the Admira
of the progress Of the negotiations fol
| surrender and Admiral Sampson ex.
pressing his readiness to render any as.
| sistance desired. In one of these notes
on July 14th. Admiral Sampson inform
| ed General Shafter that he desired tt
! be represented in the negotiations fol
| surrender as it was the result of the
combined forces
At noon on the 14th General Shaftel
| telegraphed to the Admiral that there
was apparently every prospect of ar
evacuation, and at 2:30 o'clock on the
| same day General Miles telegraphet
Admiral Sampson that the enemy had
surrendered.
