REFUSE OUR SILVER.
Santiago Tradesmen Glass It With
Mexican Coins.

washington, July 25.-Major Sniffen
of the pay corps, will sail from New
York tomorrow on the Olivette for San
tiago accompanied by three paymasters.
They will begin the payment Of troops
on their arrival and in a very short
time will be joined by otherpaymaster
who will assist in paying off General
Skaters army and then will proceed to
Porto Rico to pay off the army of Gen.
Miles.
rather interesting question has
arisen in regard to the payment of
troops. A telegram has been received
from Gen. Shafter requesting that gold
and paper be sent to Santiago as trades
men there refuse to accept American
silver dollars at their par value and
rate them at so cents on the dollar,
like the Mexican dollars and dollars of
South American countries. It was pay
master Gen. Stanton's intention to send
as little silver as possible, combining it
mostly to subsidiary coin for the pur-
pose of making change on account of
the greater convenience of taking gold
and paper, and he will continue to do
so.
Considerable Indignation is expressed
that American money of any kind is
discounted and a suggestion has been
made to the secretary of war that any
tradesmen who refuses to accept U. S.
money of any kind at 100 cents on the
dollar should be removed from any ter
ritory over which the American flag
floats 1t is not known that orders will
be sent to Gen. Shafter on the subject
although the suggestion has been made
that American money should not be
allowed to be questioned by the coun
tries occupied by United States troops.
The supposition is that the refusal
to accept silver dollars Is the result of
the long use of the silver in Mexico and
the South American countries, which
has never passed for more than half
it's face value.

WAR ON AMERICAN PORK.
Germans Use All Means to Inspire
Prejudice Against It.

Washington, July 25.-COnsuI Warner
transmits from Leipsic, under date Of
June 4, 1898, a report from Consular
Agent Neuer of Gera, in which the lat
ter says:
Under the pretense of protecting the
sanitary condition of the people, an IN
Just and systematic war is waged
against American pork in this city.
Warnings are published by the magis-
trates against the consumption of raw
American pork, though every piece of
bacon and ham is subject to an inSpec-
ton by duly authorized examiners be-
fore entering trade. Dealers in our hog
products are required to hang signs in
conspicuous places in their stores bear
ing the inspection: Americanische
Fleischewaaren' american meats). No
means are left untried to create wide
spread prejudice, and all local papers
take up the subject of trichinae in
American pork as one of their favorite
themes.
mot one case of death or even of dis
ease can be attributed to the cOnsump
ton of American pork, while know of
several cases of trichinosis from the use
of freshly slaughtered German pork, in
spite of microscopic inspection"

extraordinary success has made quite
sensation. Already it is proved that there
are immense numbers of whales around
the coast, and that the Norwegians know
how to capture them. These whales are
not nearly so valuable as the Greenland
or fright whales" because the bone in
their mouths is an inferior article, though
of considerable commercial value. The oil
is excellent. The correct estimate of the
value of one of these whales is 800 to ST.
900. The Cabot company has erected a
factory for the manufacture of the oil at
Shocks Arm Notre Dame bay.
The Cabot carries a gun in her bows,
from which is fired harpoon. On strik-
ing the whale bomb explodes. killing the
whale instantaneously, and developing
gas which prevents it from sinking. The
loss of a whale by this method is very
rare,

BRUTAL BALL PLAYER.
Hardy, of Wichita, Assaults Salina
Boy With His Fist.

Salina, July 25.-Claude Hardy one of
Wichita's base ball players, committed a
brutal assault on small boy, Raymond
Larkin. Hardy struck the boy in the
face and on the nose with his fist, caus-
ing the blood to flow freely. It is said
that the boy made some remarks about
Wichita's club which offended Hardy.
Later the police arrested Hardy. although
no complaint had been made, and released
him on the promise of McCloskey, man
ager of the team, to sign a bond for $50.
When the bond presented to McClos-
key he refused to sign il and by this time
Hardy had left town.
1t is thought that he went to Wichita,
and the police of that city have been noti-
fed to hold him. state warrant for his
arrest was issued today.

KILLED BY BOMBS.
Season of Successful Whale Fishing
Near Newfoundland.

Montreal, July 25.-Advices from New
foundland give further information about
the whaling venture which was started
some time ago under the management of
Mr.. Nelson, late superintendent of fish
cries at ST. Johns. The company is called
the Cabot Whaling company. A small
steamer was built in Norway, manned
with experienced Norwegian whalers, and
fitted up with all the modern improve
ments for whaling, arrived at St Johns
a short time ago, and after landing some
cargo and coaling, began operations about
the mouth of Conception and Trinity not
far from St. Johns.
In a week or ten days she had brought
in no less than seven whales, ranging
from 60 to 100 feet in length, of the fin
back and sulphur bottom species. This

FATAL TARANTULA.
Indiana Man Bitten While Unloading
Bananas

Chicago, July 15.-Death from the sting
of a tarantula is probably the fate that
awaits George Meckilini, an italian fruit
dealer at Hammond, Ind, who has been
in a semi-cOnsciOus condition since yes
terday morning as the result of a sting he
received a few days ago while unloading
bananas. The next morning his upper
lip and nose were so swollen that he was
not recognized by his neighbors.
A number of physicians have visited the
young man. but, with the exception of
brief period, they have been unable to
arouse him. Mekilini does not seem to be
suffering any pain. DR.. John c. Pannen-
borg, secretary of the board of health at
Hammond, will make an experiment with
a photograph fn a few days to arouse the
sleeper from the Iethargy into which he
has sunk.

BABYS FACE
And Neck Looked Like Raw Meat.
Mother and Child Had No Rest
Day or Night from itching.
Blood Would Flow Down Cheeks.
Doctors and Dispensary No
Use. Awful Suffering.
Cured by CUTICURA REMEDIES
Now Entirely Healed With
Lovely Clear Skin.

Our baby, when one month old, had raw
place on her neck which spread slowly over
the whole face, the face and neck being all
raw meat, sometimes dry and then wet, and
something awful to look at. The way the
child suffered, mother and child never had
any rest day or night as it constantly itched,
and the blood used to flow down her cheeks.
We had doctors and went to the dispensary
without any result. BY using part of bottle
of CUTICURA REsOLvENT, three boxes of CUTI-
CURA (ointment), and CUTICURA SOAP, the
child eoas entirely healed. Now she is two years
old and has lovely skin, which we can be
thankful to CUTICURA REMEDIES and nothing
else. Mrs EMIL F. GARNJOSS,

Reform School Band No More.

The reform school band has passed out
of existence. After the instructor, Chas.
Gormly, joined the army it left the band
without head. Several members joined
the colored battaHons, which further de-
moralized the organization, and now the
reform school boys are marched around to
the music of one bass and two snare
drums and two bugles. superintendent
Hurst used the band as a means of dis
cipline and it has been an important ad-
junct of the school for years. It ought
to be reorganized.

The market was quite aggreSSiyeiy

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. March S.-rhe tone of the
stock market was improved to-day as
compared with that of yesterday, the
ground for the greater confidence in
values being the apparent desire of the
Spanish government to deprecate any

or that they sought to irritate the United

The Finest Grain and Stock
Farm in Eastern Va.

Situated twenty miles west of Peters
burg and within four of the Norfolk and
Western Il. r. The tract contains two
thousand three hundred and fifty-seven
acres. about One-fifth of which is table
land and rich creek bottom, the uplands
are gently undulating; not hill on the
place. Soil is q clay loan and very pro-
ductiVe, the bottoms are as fine timothy
lands as any in the State and produce
heavy crops of grain. The farm is
beautifully watered by springs and
streams. There are two residences
(about one and a half miles aparO one
contains eleven large rooms, several
halls, closets, pOrches, &C., the other
six rooms. There are the usual farm
houses such as barns, tenant houses,
granary, &c.
Some excellent fruit-Apples, Peaches,
Cherries, Grapes, &c. There is not
a more delightful home or healthier one
in the State. l am too old to manage
it, and to make a speedy sale offer it
at the low price of Twelve dollars per
acre, less than | have ever offered it.
This tract would cut up into a dozen
fine farms, but l wish TO sell it as a
whole. Deer, Turkey, Quail, &c, in
abundance.
JOHN G. GRIFFIN, Owner,
Petersburg, Va.
The above is from the Turf Field
and Farm" of February 18th, '9S. II
is a fairly good description of the farm
called ''NIill Quarter" / purchased it
last fall and am now the owner instead
of J. G. Griffin. l have offered it for
sale at seven dollars and fifty cents
nor acre instead of Twelve Adjoining
lands are held at higher prices. Capt.
Griffin was offered twenty-five thous-
and dollars cash for the farm and re-
fused it. holding them at $500 per acre.
There is a fine opportunity for some one
to buy this place, cut it up into small
farms and make five thousand dollars of
farms and make five thousand dollars
clear of all expense in a short time.
