the lottery is operated under the di-
rect authority of the state. There are
Il number of prizes of 800, 900 marks,
and it is an annual affair in the line
of revenue raising. In Italy this year
in the annual budget for 1898 was the
item of revenue 81, 900. 900 lire from lot
teries, about equivalent to $l3, ,000, 600 in
American money, and it is somewhat
curious that in nearly every country of
Europe, with the exception of France
and Belgium, lotteries as a means of
revenue raising are the rule rather
than the exception.
Denmark made last year a profit on
it's lOtteries-a net profit over and
above cNpenSeS-Of 100000 crowns,
equivalent to about $4,000 In HOl-
land too, there is a state lottery, the
net proceeds of which are figured each
year at 659, 900 guilders, or about $780,
O0C. PORTUGAL is another European
country which recruits its revenues
from this source, In the year 1897 the
Portuguese lottery gained l,I500O0 mill
reiS nearly $1,000 ,000l. But Portugal
has At least some justification i'm it's
adherence to lotteries by reason of the
fact that the finances Of that country
are i'm an unsettled condition, that
creditors are pressing against 1t. and
that the expenditures have, for a num-
ber of years, exceeded considerably
the revenues.
In the European countries lotteries
are state mOnopolies, as much as the
sale of stamps or of cigars and tobac-
co, and the government makes usually
considerable profit from them. The
Spaniards are great believers in the
advantages offered bv lotteries, and
the financial plight of that country
now being most serious there will be
started soon under the auspices of the
Spanish government a great lottery
scheme, the receipts of which, minus
the prizes will be turned over to the
government for its needs. Circulars
are being sent out, and 1t is expected
that 500, 000.0 600 nesetas, or about 800
600 600 will be netted for the govern

WILL IT END WITH SANTIAG02
Predictions Made That Spain Will
Make Her Last Stand There.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Hope Is ex-
pressed in official circles that Spain will
realize, with the fall of Santiago and the
consequent capture or destruction Of
Cervera's squadron, that further struggle
is useless. The knowledge that this gov
eminent is considering the advisabiity
of extending its conquests to the Cana
ries will, it is believed here, do much to
bring the authorities at Madrid TO a
realization Of the futility of prOlonging
the war. Predictions are being made by
some officials that Santiago will be the
last stand made by Spain, and while
many do not share this opinion, there is,
nevertheless, an undercurrent Of belief,
almost general in its scope, that Castil-
ian pride only stands in the way OF a
surrender. and that this will be salts
fed with the ending of the battle for
which both sides are preparing.
All this peace talk mas not interfered
with the preparation OF the War Depart
ment for the seizure Of Porto Rico. The
sentiment i'm military and naval circles
Is in favor of an early beginning OF the
operations there, and. unless Spain makes
oyertures for peace with the fall of San
tiago. there Is little doubt felt that Porto
Rico will remain i'm cORtrol Of the enemy
for any length Of time thereafter. Mill
tary men do not believe that Spain will
succumb so easily. and they are figuring
on a long and hard campaign that Will
not end until Havana has surrendered TO
the American forces.

ENGLISH ACCOUNT OF THE FIGHT
The Spanish Loss Hcavy-Native Sol
diers Kill Their Officers and Desert.

LONDON. June IA dispatch TO The
Times from Manila, referring TO the
fighting OF May 30th and June LIST. says
the Spanish loss in killed. wounded and
prisoners was very heavy, but that the
most serious feature OF all for Spain is
the detection OF hundreds OF native aux
iiiaries. The dispatch says
"One native regiment deserted after
killing its officers and massacring COM
pany OF Spanish infantry, and rebels ana
ex-rebels on both sides have been shot
because they were suspected of treachry
to their respective generals.
"The Spanlards are endeavoring by
every means to win over the rebels who
are attracted by promises OF pardon and
high Offices. But Aguinaldos attraction
is stronger.
"He has completely surrounded Mani
In by cutting the railroads and holding
the rivers by which food had previously
reached the city. II the city is not
starved into surrender the rebels may
carry Il, having now an increasing num-
Der OF rifles and field guns.
PRISONERS WELL TREATED
"Aguinaido's treatment OF the Spanish
prisoners Is exemplary. Few excesses
are reported except where priests were
mutilated before being killed.
Admiral Dewey Is not assisting the
rebels but II is probably due to him that
Agulnaldo's forces avoid excuses.
Foreigners. with the exception of the
French nuns remain I'm Manila, but are
ready to board the refugee steamers as
soon as the necessity arrives.
