MADRID, July 5.-The following semi-official statement was issued yes terday afternoon: s'The semaphore from Morro castle to Santiago says the Spanish squadron, after cannonade with the Americans, showed no signs of injury; therefore the American news of the rout of Admiral Cervera must be utterly untrue.

The nuryiaE Hectic.

This curious beetle derives ia name
from liz habit OF burying any small
dead animal left on the surface Of the
ground. With such rapidly does II
work that two beetles have been
known TO cover up a sparrow within
a few hours; and so unwearied are
they that II several burying- beetles
are placed In vessel filled with earth
and kept constantly supplied with
dead frogs. mice. etc, they will con-
tinue to bury them as long as the sup
ply Is kept up. The object OF this re-
markable Instinct. 30 beneficial In It's
effects. is TO furnish food for the
young who are hatched from eggs laid
In the body OF the animal during It's
burial. In this wsy lnnumerable car
caases. which would pollute the atmos-
phere. are removed and made bene-
nclai to the soil.

Mr.. Rufus Smith, who arrived to-
day, brought a petition signed by the

which requested the government to
send troops there at once. Governor

The weather on the passes has been
unusually severe. A small steamer

been frozen to death on the Chilkoot

The following beautiful lines are
clipped from a speech recently made
by Rev. Sam Jones, on kissing snd
character
A young lady's lips ought 30 be as
sacred as her character. Touch
not, taste not ought to be the
motto of every pure girl. There are
too many wrecked already, and too
many characterless duds.
"Modesty and purity are the two
pillars that uphold women's chArac-
ter. You knock either of these pill
lars out from under her character,
and down she goes, and after the
devil gets a woman down and puts
his foot on her neck she never gets
up.
"Our girls devote to much time to
beauty of the face and the fashion of
dress. But after all, beauty of charac-
ter is the thing, for by and by the
roses Will fade from the cheeks and
the luster will fade from the eyes,
but beautiful character, upheld by
pillars of modesty and purity, will
shine on when the stars have grown
dim and while the dateless calendar
of the future is wearing away"
