AMERICAN VESSEL ESCAPES.
Detained by Canadian Authorities
for Illegal Fishing

Montreal, July 1.-THE American
schooner Redhn, held at Philippsburg
Quebec, for Illegally fishing in Canadian
waters, was cut out last night from the
dock and made her escape.
The schooner was seized a month ago
by the collector Of customs and fisheries
for fishing in Canadian waters of Missi-
qoi Bay. contrary TO law She was
brought into Philippsburg and tied up
and night watchman placed on board.
on Sunday night Cadorette, the watch
man, and his twelve-year-old boy were
on board as usual. The night was clear
and brisk breeze was blowing from the
northwest.
Shortly after midnight Cadorette was
aroused by four men who came aboard
and, at the point of revolvers, took pos
session. The boy scrambled TO the dock.
but his father was carried out a couple
OF miles, where ne was put ashore. The
four men proceeded south with the
schooner and escaped across the line into
Vermont waters. The schooner likely
proceeded up the lake and is now thought
10 be in hiding in the secluded parts of
the Missiquoi marsh.
The case will be at once laid before the
Canadian government

Treatment of Prisoners of War,
From the Lynehburg News.)

(FrOm the Lynchburg Nevs.)
The treatment of prisoners of war is a good
test of the civilization OF a nation. In ancient
times il was the custom either 10 put them to
death or reduce them to slavery. In these days
it is regarded as barbarous and inhuman to
subject helpless prisoners to needless privation
and hardships. II is not only barbarous and in
human but il is impoltic. If the enemies
know in advance that captivity means great
personal suffering. they will fight all the harder
to avoid captivity. If they know that they
will be treated with humane consideration. they
will not be so willing 10 endure starvation and
all the hardships of hopeless struggle when
a surrender would put a finish to all their suf-
ferinos.

THE GARRISON AT ToRTUGAs.
Military authorities Convinced That
Its Necessity is Over.

The Secretary Of War Is considering the
advisability of withdrawing the military
garrison from Dry Tortugas, southwest
of the Florida peninsula, and sending
it to the front. He has asked the Sec
retary of the Navy if the Navy Depart
ment considers the presence of troops at
Tortugas necessity for the protection of
the naavl coaling station, distilling plant,
at the same time suggesting that the de-
struction of cervera's fleet has removed
the necessity of such photection.
The garrison at Tortugas consists of
three companies of the Fifth Artillery

New Orleans Blind shoehIack.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat)
New Orleans has novelty in blind shoe
black. He is negro, and has a stand at the
corner of Dryades and Common Streets. Ii is
amusing TO see him at work. and, by the way,
he is a shoeblack OF mean ability. When a
customer takes his chair he will ask: What
kind of shoes are these, captain? Is dey brown,
waller or blaek?'' He will get the polish to
fit the answer and proceed with his work. When
he has also completed he will polish away until
he hears vehicle passing the street, when
he will generally say: well Jest look at dat

The War Department has received but
brief mention of the District troops, be-
cause sentiment is at a discount in war
and the fact that Washington is in
tensely interested in. the welfare of its
boys at the front is overlooked when
il comes 10 filing official reports. The
District troops are in the best of health.

The market yesterday was satisfactory
to the bulls though there was no great
rise in prices or demand for stocks.
There was some advance in prices in sew
eral parts of the list and there was ap-
parent a disposition to show confidence
in the future that is encouraging. There
is good reason to believe that the market
this week will be a strong one and will
grow stronger as every day brings its
good news from the war. The fall of
Santiago is now very near. Careful in
quiry among officers of the War Depart
ment makes 1t very clear that they be-
lieve the position of Shafter absolutely
certain to give him a swift victory. They
are far better pleased with the reports
received yesterday and last night than
with any before. The other factors in the
situation are the return of Camara now
assured, the certainty that Commodore
Watson will sail for Spain within a few
hours, and the continuance of the peace
talk. These rumors that Spain is almost
ready to sue for peace are excellent tonics
for the market even If there is yet
very little foundation of fact in them.
omaha was the fea afe Of the early
trading again and scored another ad-
vance There are many conjectures as
to the cause of the rise in this stock, but
nothing has been offered as yet that
seems satisfactory. a northwest director
identified with the yanderbilts has re-
turned to this country - within a few
weeks. and it is surmised that he has had
a hand in the recent movement in the
Vanderbilt shares. The street is inclined
to believe the rise in the stocks may con-
tinue point or two further at least.
There was not so much pressure on the
coal stocks yesterday. obut the Reading
issues were the only ones in which there
was any amount of trading. There is
some friction in the trade and the Lacka-
wanna has met secret prices of other
countries at western points. The COM
pany, however, is not giving options al
these figures for future delivery, the
companys officials say.
There was continued activity in Ameri-
can Steel and Wire and another advance
in the price of the new stock. 1t will be
remembered that last week l advised pur-
chase of this stock for time at least.
Manhattan has the largest net rise for
the day. No legitimate reason for the
movement is easy to find and 1t would
be well not TO buy very heavily on the
hope that it will be continued. There is
a look of the customary bald manipula-
tion in the recent movements of the stock.
The London Statist predicts that there
will be a dividend on Reading first pre-
ferred. The company will probably show
about 8 1-2 per cent earned during the
| year.
