A REMARKABLE PRODUCTION
The remarkable letter OF capitulatlon
addressed by General Toral 70 General
Shafter. and by him cabled 70 the WAY
Department this morning, had the initial
effect of completely mystifyng the re-
cipient. Every reader gave different
INTERPRETATION 10 the letter, and only on
one point did they al first agree-that the
translation was wretched. This 4 not
the first time that General Shafter has
failed 10 convey TO the department

ing dispatches and especially OF the brief

Gals finally concluded that this letter,

attempt OF the Spanish commander 10

Spanish commander had admitted his

WHAT WILL THEY DO IN CUBA.
Troops Campcd i'm Charleston Play Ont
on q Ten Mile March.

CHARLESTON. S. c., July 16.-At Z
o'clock this morning the three regiments
camped here were ordered out for ten
mile tramp in heavy marching order
The day was an excessively hot one and
the men suffered greatly. Before half
the journey was accomplished the ranks
had been decimated by men falling from
exhaustion. Before they returned TO
camp some companies lost half of theiI
men.
Some Of the men are seriously sick as
a consequence of the march. Nineteen
OF them are in the city hospital and
several OF these are thought 10 be In a
critical condition. They are having con-
vulsions and will need the most careful
attention.
The trouble seems 20 be that the men
have been kept on travelling rations for
over a week. Before starting on their
tramp this morning they had breakfast
consisting Of hard tack. coffee and canned
tomatoes. This was not sufficient food
10 sustain them through the task set for
them. The sympathies OF the town folk
were greatly excited by the spectacle
presented by the soldiers returning to
camp and their officers are being harshly
criticised for sending them out on so
long march without better food and on
SO hot day.

DEN OF RATTLESNAKEs.

Twelve of the Reptiles Captured at East
 Hampton.
 Will Farrel, who lives on the Penfield hill, East Hampton, two two synott brothers and three companions started out last Sunday morning morning to look for ratt1esnakes. 1t was an ideal day, just warm enough to bring the rattlers out, to bask on the lodges in the bright sunlight. The course chosen lay over the summit of Great hill, Co., bait, and north to Bald hill When about one and one-half miles north of Great hill they reached we'll known den, one long famed for it's numerous and deadly inhabitants.
 The whole colony seemed to be at home, and in short time the party had captured twelve live snakes, besides killing three in the scrimmage. For a few minutes it was lively work but the hunters made the capture without any one having been bitten. The largest snake, about five feet long, had eleven rattles and button. It is said that g. rattler has no rattles until the third year, so this would make him fourteen years old. He repeatedly coiled and struck at his pursuers until pinned to the ground by the prongs of forked stick; the rattlesnake hunters favorite weapon.
 The twelve snakes were of all sizes and lengths and seemed to include the whole family. At present they are on exhibition at the home of the Synotts, who live in Cobalt near the old feld- spar quarry. Upon approaching the wire cage the snakes begin loud rat ting, not unlike the sound of many locusts, while their brigth eyes peer out upon their would-be victims. MT. Syn ott kept three or four rattlers last win- ter, but expects to dispose of the ma jority of his present stock. The snakes are usually caught for their handsome skins and their oil, which bring good prices in the market.
 l Del Reeves. Portlands famous rattle snake hunter, also caught six on Sun | day without assistance. Just at this | season of the year the snakes are not so active and their capture is therefore less dangerous than during the summer months.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
VERY LARGE BUSINESS APPEARS
 TO BE DOING.

south Is the Only Exception and There
 Trade is Retarded by Heavy storms
 and Yellow Fever-Narrow Margins of
 Profit.
 New York, Oct. 7.-Bradstreet's re- view will say to-morrow: With the exception of some parts of the south, where heavy storms and yellow fever check distribution, very large busi- ness appears to be doing, though com plaints of narrow margins of profit are well-nigh unanimous. The volume of distribution, as a whole, is well up to or above that reported year ago in most sections, and therefore far in ad- vance of recently preceding annual pe- riods. Unseasonably warm weather is credited with checking the retail and wholesale demand for heavy winter goods, particularly clothing and shoes, but cooler weather since has imparted a better tone to this business.
 Accompanying the increase move- ment in wheat this week have come some rather better advices as to col lections, particularly in the spring wheat sections. At leading eastern markets recently favorable reports are fully maintained, with business in tex tiles, particularly cotton and woolen goods, least favorably situated.
 The general industrial situation is a very favorable one. Marked activity continues to be a feature of the iron and steel trades but the immense rate of production at present, in the absence of immediate new demands has caused shading of some few grades of pig iron and steel billets The situation as to prices generally is one of sustained strength, wheat being prominent in this respect while the most important re- duction is that growing out of the re- fined sugar war.
