mand. The last named officer does not

Kirkland His rank as captain, which
he now bears in the naval register, would
not ordinarily entitle him to higher

miral F. s. Bunce, commanding the New

miral Miller, all of these officers are likely
to be retained in the present places after

time my advicee left Manila, the fighting
had been continuous and the Spantards
were being gradually driven in.
The fall of the city seems imminent
before the arrival OF the American forces.
Manila Is absolutely incapable of re-
sisting bombardment. Admiral Dewey
Is surprised at the pebel progress; but
the Spaniards suspect that the insurg-
ents are fighting under American guild
anoe. The defenders OF the city have
suffered severely from the incessant at
tacRs and from want of food and rest,

company A, Newburyport; William w.
French of company 1, Lynn; Melvin P.

posts that night rests in the fact that the
regimental paymaster had SIS, 0GO in cash
in camp and $4,000 rounds of ammuni-
ton were in stock. The five men are to
be tried by a general court-martial, or
dered by Major General Brooke. Ac-

The Cotton Spinning Industry.

The increase of the Cotton Spin
ming in the south is proceeding
with great rapidity. In 1880 the
south had 1870 cotton mills, with
S21, 10000 capital. The average
capital to the mill in 1880 was 1922,
OOO in 1890 it was 100000, and in
1897 it was $255,OOO. If the mills
now IN the south had only the av-
erage capacity of those in exis-
tence in 1880, the number instead
of being 400, would be over one
thousand. A recent investigation
shows that over 81 per cent of all
the money invested in manufactur-
ing in the south is home capital.
From 1880 to 1896, inclusive, that
is, seventeen years, $4,000, 600 bales
of cotton were sent abroad and 30,
900, 600 bales sold to northern
mills at the low price of $40 per
bale, this brought $1,000, 900, 600
from Europe, and 81 1900, ,000,0 600
from the north into the cotton
growing states.

find space for notices in this pap

all notices must be paid for at reg
