From a well-known Canadian Pacific of ficiaI 1t was learned that the sale of yes sels had been consunlmated several days ago. Three weeks ago Captain Edwards of the Vancouver CWash.) Barracks, visit ed Vancouver, B. C., and thoroughly in- spected the steamers.

NEW TREASURY DECISIONS. All Food Products Coming Under the Head of Mixed Flour Must Be
 Slammed

According to one of the recent decisions of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue all mixed Hours must be stamped. Mixed flour is construed by the department 10 mean any food product made from wheat mixed or blended In whole or in part with any other grain or other material, or the manufactured product of any grain other than wheat.
 Bottles filled with wine must be stamped without regard to the fact whether, the vessels they were filled from have been stamped or not.
 Transportation and warehousing bonds issued on and after July l must be stamped without regard to date or eXecu- tion.
 Bonds and instruments which are re- quired by law to be in duplicate or tTlpll55 cate must have the proper stamp ainSe9 to each copy. Where the law is saushed with the single execution of bond or other similar papers one stamp IS, o5 course, sufficient.

SANTIAGANS KICK ON
 UNCLE SAM'S SILVER
Suggestion That Tradesrnen Refus- ing Our Coin Should Be Moved
 to Other Territory.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Major Sniffen of the Pay Corps will sail from New Iork tomorrow on the Olivette for Santiago, accompanied by three paymasters. They will begin the payment of troops on thelr arrival and in @ very short time Will De joined by other paymasters, who will as- sist in paying off General Shafter's army and will then proceed to Porto RICO to pay of the army of General Miles.
 A rather Interesting question has arisen in regard to the payment of troops. A telegram has been received from General Shafter requesting that gold and paper be sent to Santiago, as tradeSmen there re- fuse to accept American silver dollars at their par value and rate them at 50 cents, as with the Mexican dollar. It was Pay master General Stanton's intention to send as little silver as possible, confining it mostly to subsidiary coin for the pur- pose of making change, on account of the greater convenience of takn~ gold and paper, and he will continue to do so. Considerable indignation Is expressed that American money of any kind Is discount ed, and suggestion has been made to the Secretary of War that any tradesman who refuses to accept United States money of any kind at 100 cents on the dol lar should be removed from any territory over which the American flag floats. It Is not known that any orders will be sent to General Shafter on the subject.
 The supposition is that the refusal 10 accept silver dollars is the result of the long use of the silver of Mexico and the South American countries which have never passed for more than half Its face value.

The woman was knocked overheard. When Hansen recovered consciousness he called for Miss Allen. Getting no reply he started to rise, but fell. He was unable to do more than crawl around the deck in a semi-dazed condition.
 A flag was flying on the mast Of the sloop, and, to attract attention, Hansen lowered it to half-mast. The next morn ing two young men boarded the boat to ascertain what was the matter, and they sailed the sloop into Stockton. The drowned woman had not been at nome very much of late.

Last of the Issue Will Not Have Been Forwarded Until After the Beginning of Sep

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The fol- lowing statement concerning the new bond issue was made at the Treasury Department to-day:
 The first shipment of the new war bonds was made to-day. It consisted of 1000 bonds of S20 each and 5000 bonds of $5O9 each. Tha public mind Is poorly prepared to comprehend the enormous iaoor ana aho multitudinous delays connected with this great popular loan. In the hrst place, ar ter the reJection and return or thouSands of subs criptions to which no allotment ona I1d could ba made, there remain about S00,0 persons to whom bonds will be allotted and forwarded in due course by express. It is not question only Of SOOOOO names. The name, includlng State, county, town and street number of each subscriber must be transcribed and rewritten in va rious ways at least ten times. This Is equivalent to entering once. thus fully eX- tended, 3,0O0,00 or more names.
 The mere clerical work, however, is but a part of the problem; the collection or checks and drafts received as. payment for bonds, the computation of interest, preparation of cheeks in settlement TOT same, the engraving and printing of ten curate disposition of these in envelopes properly addressed, all these are a part Of the problem that must be solved without error or omission. One simple fact will impress the mind with the magnitude or the operation. Each envelope must be sealed with three seals, which means that
 
 outgoing bonds.
 Another important feature is the limita- ton the ability of the express agency to receive, forward and deliver the bonds after they are committed to their care for this purpose. This limitation is estimated by the express company at 5000 items a day. ~
 While subscribers in the sums of s4500 or less may rest secure in the certainty that the bonds will come to them all in due time, they must patiently await the opera tion of the Government machinery. It IS understood that deliveries on the sub sCriptions of $500 and less, for which the money has been all received will be made before the larger subscriptions are at- tended to. Of these small subscriptions there are 230 900. and 1t is estimated that forty days will be required for their deliv- cry.
 From this 1t will appear that subscrib- CTS in amounts larger than $500 will not begin to receive their bonds until after September | From that date on the bonds will be put in the hands of the larger subscribers quite rapidly. since, nu- meTically speaking, they aggregate less than one-third of the number of smau subscribers. In the meantime the larger subscribers will be officially notified by the Treasury Department when and how payments in addition to the per cent de- post will be required and before remitting funds they are requested to await such notice. Much confusion will thereby be avoided.
