ships were reached The Spaniaris
had the range, however, and five Gu

the Peoria, the men reported that the
vicious fire had come from a grove of
cCcoanut palms which extended east
ward from the fort. The Peoria then
turned her guns on the place, indi-
Gated and must have killed many
Spaniards for her shells dropped into
the smoke and flash Of her adj
yersaries' fire and. silenoed it at once
and forced them to send up rockets
for help.
The next day the gunboat Helena
arrived and Friday she and the Peoria
steamed in toward Las Tunas and
shelled the fort and entrenchments.
The fire of our ships vas accurate and
destructive. The Spanish gunners had
not fired 20 shots before their guns
were flying in the air, their earth
works mass of bloodst aimed dust and
their gunpers running for their lives.
Both the Peoria and Helena were
struck several times, but no one on
either ship was injured. AS they
withdrew several buildings on the
shore were in flames. The iron block
houses were strack repeatedly and the
earthworks destroyed
The Spaniards burned the large
wharf evidently expecting landing
would be made. 1t was learned from,
various sources that reInforcements,
were pouring into Las Tunas from all
directions, by the thousands. 1t was
determined to proceed during the
right vita the expedition to Falo.

Helena lay off shore making a lively
play with her searchlights toward the
shore, the Peoria, Florida and Fanita,
with lights out, slipped away. There
was not a Spaniard to be seen when
they reached Patio Alta at daybreak
and the men and cargo put ashore
without single obstacle.

With the United States Troops Be
fore Santiago de Cuba, Thursday, 6
p. NJ, via Kingston, Jamaica, July IS
The reverse OF the Spanish arms in
eastern Cuba is complete. Santiago
has fallen and with it all the eastern
end Of the island. Gen. ToraI, the
Spanish commander, agreed to the
general terms of surrender at a per
s0nal Interview with Gen. Shafter this
afternoon at which Gen. Miles was
present. The victorious American
army, after a campaign of three weeks
Of almost unprecedented hardship for
both officers and men, accepts the
news with heartfelt relief.
The victory is greater than it ap-
peared at frs. All the Spanish
troops in the 4th corps Of the military
division Of Santiago province, from a
line drawn north from Asseraderos,
Is miles west Of Santiago, through
Las Palmas, Palmas Sorian, Alcantaza
to Sagua de Tanamo on the north
coast and eatward to Cape Maysi, is
surrendered and the territory aban-
doned. Between $4,000 and 10000
Spanish prisoners are taken, about
10000 of whom are in Santiago. The
remained are at Guantanamo and the
garrisons IN the towns Of eastern
Cuba. All of these troops are to be
embarked and sent back to Spain IN
der parole.
Shafter bears his honors modestly.
To the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press he said: The enemy has
surrendered all the territory and
troops east of Santiago. The Santiago
campaign was one Of the hardest I
ever saw. The difficulties to contend
with were very great. The roads made
it almost impossible to advance. The
transportation problem was hard, but
all the difficulties have been success
fully surmounted. Our troops be-
haved CALAMITY. They fought like
heroes, and I an proud to have COM
manded them. During all the hard
ships they suffered they showed res
olution and spirit. They deserve to
conquer. The resistance has been ex-
SSSO1AS1y STUBBORN. GSu. 1OIdI proved
himself a foeman worthy of any mans
steel. The negotiations which have
eliminated in the surrender of Toral
have been dragging on for ten days
with the intermission Of Sunday and
Monday, when our batteries and fleet
bombarded the enemy's position.
Throughout these periods Of truce
Toral shrewdly played for time,
always declining to surrender uncon-
ditionally, and falling back when
hard pressed, upon the statement that
he was simply a subordinate without
power to agree to the proposals with
out the sanction Of his sUperiors, I'M
der penalty Of being courtmartialed.
At the same time he seemed to init
mate that he personally thought it !
useless to hold out longer. But he
and the garrison soldiers, he said, |
could die if necessary obeying orders
It was at a personal interview held !
by Shafter with Toral yesterday that |
the American general made the Span !;
lsh commander understand that tenn !

Sentences, for Life.

Harrison Moore, the colored man
who tried to poison the family of
Judge Jackson, at Parkersburg, was
sentenced yesterday to be confined
in the state penitentiary for life.
This makes the third time he has
been in the penitentiary and under
how state laws if man has served
two terms and is sentenced the
third time for any offeuse whatever,
he must be sent up for life. AS
Moore has been in the pen twice,
prior to this time, the court had no
discretion in the matter only to send
him up for life. 1t is perhaps, the
best place he can be kept in.

themselves as much pleased with
the plan and arrangement.
A half hour was spent in this
way ard for this reason there was a
shorter program of work carried
out.
After the singing, lead by Mr.. A.
B. Moore, county superintendent,
T. P. Hill discussed the subject Of
History Through Literature. 1t
was clearly shown how history may
be learned through a study of the
works OF Irving, Hawthorne, Low
ell, Whittier, Longfellow, Scott,
SHINES and many others. The
speaker was full Of his subject
and made it very interesting
to his hearers, the teachers being
called on to name the best books
written by the authors mentioned.
The active interest taken and
prompt and correct answers to all
the questions asked was highly
creditable to the teachers, showing
they are quite familiar with Amer
lean literature.
Prof. Crago explained that the
influence ior good, which a book
or poem mas on mankind, deter

Valuable Ware.

At the Saveton sale in London, few
wears ago, q service of old Sevres ware
was sold for So, 900. The genuineness
of this set was proved by certificates is
sued to the owners by the French gov
eminent, writes +. Vizetelly in Godey's.
But by far the most valuable service
turned out at the Sevres pottery Tin
1879 was made for the Czarina Cath
crime II of Russia and consisted OF 745
pieces, which cost So, $50
The Sevres ware old or modern, is
usually light in color and daintily dec
Grated with flowers or figure subjects
tastefully arranged. The porcelain
itself, although Of good texture, is in
ferior to that of the English potteries.
Decorated pieces generally bear pic
torial panels on white ground, SKY
rounded by frames of gilt scrollwork.
These, as we'll as the tableware, are
quite in keeping with the national char
acter. Although the Sevres works are
still in operation, they are kept busy III
copying ancient Chinese and japanese
models instead of increasing their rep
utation in the manufacture Of the wares
which made them famous.

Questioning is Not Conversation.

The man who imagines that the art
of conversation consists i'll asking ques-
tons spo;ls conversation as much as the
man who never asks any. People OF this
description will interrupt a speaker as
frequently as they do in the French
chamber, and run anxiously from sub
ject to subject with their interrogatories,
like a cackling hen that is going to lay
an egg Horace Walpole, when exlled
at Houghton, bemoans the existence of
such a pest in the person OF an aunt
Writing to his friend Sir Horace Mann,
he says: Il have an aunt here, family
piece of goods, an old remnant Of in
quisitive hospitality and economy. She
wore me so down by day and night
with interrogations that l dreamed all
night she was at my ear with who's
why's, when's and what's, till at last
in my very sleep | cried out, For
heavens sake, madam, ask me no more
questions.
DR.. Johnson's dislike of being ques-
toned is we'll known, and he gives the
classic refutation of the habit in his
own inimitable style: "Sir, questioning
is not the mode of conversation among
gentlemen. It is assuming superiority,
and it is particularly wrong to question
a man concerning himself. Cham

How to Keep Grapes Fresh.

The first requisite is that the fruit be
in perfect condition. If the grapes
bought in the market are to be used,
they should be as fresh as possible when
received. Remove any imperfect ones
with sharp pair of scissors, put a lay,
er of cotton in a pasteboard box, then a
layer of grapes, the punches not touch
ing each other, another layer of cotton,
and so on until the box is full, with a
layer CT cotton on top. The cotton
should be tucked down at the sides after
each layer. Put Oh the cover, tie secure
ly and put away in a cool, dry place.
A good cellar does very we'll.

How to Prevent PARALYSIS.

Threatened paralysis is.lot thing to
be very greatly afraid of. Paralysis gen.
orally does not threaten, but makes its
appearance without threatening and
without warning. Paralysis is not
hereditary, but there may be hered-
itary tendency to certain forms of paral-
ysis. The only way to cure a tendency
to disease is to build up and fortify the
general health in every way possible.
1t is not best to live in constant fear OF
a paralytic stroke or something of that
sort, as this will be very efficient
means Of bringing topass the very thing
apprehended. Numb sensations tingling
sensations, etc., are seldom precursors
Of paralysis, although often thought to
be such. They are usually the result
simply of disordered digestion, giving
rise to disturbance of the sympathetic
nerve.
