lieh oldsr q Enha without dispos1ea-
ing the Cuba1s. There can Be AZ order
without law. and the Cuban patriots
evidently have very primitive COM
prehension of law as yet.
The same conditions in different de-
grees exist in Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines, to say nothing of Hawaii.
The regular army numbers about Co.
eco men, hardly enough to garrison
our own coasts under the conditions
that preceded this war. The regular
army is to be Increased to
at least 100000, and it will
be recruited largely from the
volunteers, to whom two years SER
vice will serve as an excellent intro
duction into the regular establish
ment.
There is little chance for the vol
unteers to quit the service soon, and
before they are discharged they will
probably see all they desire to see Of
army life, if not great deal more,
which they did not bargain for.

PHANTOM MINES.

/ It is noticeable that the Spaniards
are always very careful to allow the
impression to get abroad that the APP
proach to any of their coast strong
holds is thoroughly mined and tor
pedoed. If one would stop to think
over the fact that this information is
always cheerfully furnished from Span
ish sources he would Immediately be-
come suspicious as the wary man is of
all voluntary Spanish utterances.
The submarine mines of the Span
iards have been advertised in the press
of Spain and also to large extent in
the United States as honeycoming their
colonial harbors and prepared, at the
press of a button or the touch Of a
keel, to hurl the soul Of the Yankee
invader into kingdom come and his
corporeal fragments into the maWs Of
waiting sharks.
A CHASTITY hue of truth was lent to
the exploited perils of submarine eX-
plosives when the Maine was blown
up and over $50 or her crew hurled to
death, which has done more than any
thing else to make our sailors chary of
entering Spanish harbors. But since
actual hostilities began some things
have come to pass which indicate there
is a considerable amount of scare
crow in the Spanish submarine mine
defenses.
Dewey demonstrated this when he
boldly sailed into the harbor of Manila,
which was said to be heavily mined
and annihilated Montejo's fleet before
breakfast on a Sunday morning.
Not long ago one Of our cruisers
slashed into a mine in Guantanamo
harbor with her screw and a dispatch
boat struck another mine with her
rudder In both instances no harm was
done and the mines were fished up.
The latest disclosure concerning the
Spanish mine bugaboo occurred at San
tiago. The vessels of Admiral Samp-
sons fleet have been riding off the
harbor there for months. The main
reason given for their not entering and
bombarding the city was the fear Of
submarine mines-althOug Commo-
dore Schley held the idea in contempt
and was anxious to- enter the harbor as
soon as he had bottled up Cervera
there When some days ago the steam
launches went to pick up these dan
gerous explosives, it was explained by
the willy Spaniards that they had been
removed the day before Cervera and his
fleet left the port. Our naval officers
now doubt if ever there was a really
dangerous mine ever planted in San
tiago harbor.
The Spaniards are first-class buffers
and they have doubtless done some
large bluffing on this subject, which
has saved them well.
Admiral Sampson should bear this in
mind when he gets ready to attack
San Juan de Puerto Rico.

TO PURIFY SANTIAGO.

It now devolves upon Gen. Wood, the
military governor Of Santiago, to en-
ulate at least one phase of Gen. Ben
Buffers military rule of New Orleans.
Whatever else may be said of Butler
he found the city of New Orleans dirty
and left it clean. He found Yellow
Jack there strongly entrenched and he
drove him out.
What Butler did in New Orleans the
military administrator of Santiago can
do for the capital of eastern Cuba.
Santiago is unspeakably filthy, not
simply as result of war conditions,
but from generations, cent lries, of neg
lect of the most ordinary sanitary pre-
cautions. Not even the most primitive
of sewer arrangements have been pro-
vided. Filth and unspeakable abom
nations reek in the streets or are
swept in the rainy season into the
closed harbor, which has become a
huge cess pool While the surrounding
hills have a reputation of exceptional
healthfulness- Cuba-Santiago, in
the pocket formed by the harbor is the
nesting place for yellow fever germs.
Thorough cleansing with the assist
ance of sanitary engineering will in
time make Santiago as healthful as any
well kept American city. In due course
Havana can be subjected to similar
treatment, and with the example Of
these two chief cities of Cuba before
them all the other towns on the island
may be taught to understand that pre-
vention of yellow fever is better than
attempted cure, and that healthful
cleanliness Is great profit to a COM
munity
When that is understood and acted
upon there will be possibility of
stamping out yellow fever altogether
and Cuba will no longer be dangerous
neighbor to be guarded against every
summer and watched with suspicion at
all times.
The question naturally suggests it.
self can this absolutely necessary re-
form be accomplished if the city is
turned over to the Cubans? Would
1t be for the best interests of the Gu
bans themselves to give them COM
plete control until these reforms had
been accomplished? Plainly, the an
swer is emphatically No!

SECURED a DOCK.
VIII Be Sent to Key West Where a Place
Has Been Provided for 1t.


WASHINGTON, July 25.-Chief Endi-
colt, of the bureau of yards and docks,
has just returned to the Navy Depart
ment from New York, where he succeed
ed in arranging for the purchase by the
government of a floating dry dock a ma
val adjunct very much needed at this
time. The dock is capable of lifting YES
sells up to 200 tons displacement which
will bring within it's scope most of the
gunboats of SIMPSONS fleet and large
number of the auxiliary vessels. This
dock is not sectional, but in one piece, so
that it may be easily towed to the point
most available for naval use. The first
journey will be TO Key West, where the
Navy Department has found a suitable
site with plenty o. water in what is
known as quartermasters harbor, a cove
not far distant from town. The dock will
be started on it's way at the earliest pos
Sible moment.

They Are Ready for Shipmsnt, But Il
Will Be a Long Time Before They
Are Delivered.

Washington, July 25.-The follow
ing statement concerning the new bond
issue was made at the Treasury De-
partment to-day:
THE first shipment of the new war
bonds were made to-day. They con-
sisted of LOCO bonds of $40 each, and
LOCO bonds of $500 each. The public
mimi is prepared to comprehend the
enormous labor and multitudiIous de-
tails connected with this great popular
loan. In the first place, after the re-
lection and return of thousands OF
subscriptions to which no allotment
could be made, there remain about
300 600 persons to whom bonds will be
allotted and forwarded in due course by
express. 1t is not question only OF
900, 600 names. The name, including
State county, town, and street num-
Der of each subscriber must be tran
scribed and rewritten in various ways
at least ten times. This is equivalent
to entering once, thus fully extended,
three million or more names.
Another important feature is the
Limitation in the ability of the express
agency to receive, forward and deliver
the bonds, after they are committed
to their care for this purpose This
limitation is estimated by the express
company at 5000 items per day.
1.-THE facts thus cited go to show
that while subscribers in the sums CT
$4,000 or less may rest secure IN the
certainty that the bonds will come to
them all in due time-they must pa
tiently wait the operation OF the gov
eminent machinery. 1t is understood
that deliveries on the subscriptions OF
$500 or less, for which the money has
been all received, wiz be made before
the larger subscriptions are attended
to. Of these small subscriptions there
are $50 600 in number, and it is estl-
mated that forty days will be required
for this delivery From this it will
appear that subscribers in amounts
larger than $500 will not begin to re-
ceive their bonds until after Septem-
Der l. From that date on the bonds
will be put in the hands of the larger
subscribers quite rapidly, since, numer-
ically speaking, they aggregate less
than one-third Of the number of small
subscribers. In the meantime the
larger subscribers will be officially
notified by the Treasury Department
when and how payment in addition
to the 2 per cent. deposit will be re-
CURED, and before renting funds
they are requested to await such
notice. Much confusion will thereby
be avoided"

A FINE SHOWING.

1t was predicted before the first bat
tie was fought that the surgical and
medical department of the army would
be found so much more perfect than
ANYTHING in that line ever known be-
fore, that the list of those who died
of wounds or disease would be found
proportionately smaller than ever be-
fore was known in great war. This
prediction has been borne out and the
skill and devotion to their duty which
have been shown by the surgeons in
the field arouse the admiration OF
everybody. They have worked In the
most exposed places az calmly and

"EVENTS" FOR JULY.


The midsummer number Of Events
that for July-put in somewhat be-
lated appearance yesterday, but met
with a no less welcome reception.
The fTontispiece is a portrait OF Miss
Mary Irwin PAUL, daughter Of Mr.. AID
Mrs. Alfred PAUL, a young lady whose
ciety is set for the coming autumn,
and who will receive an enthusiastic
welcome.
The table of contents contains
most interesting sketch by Prof. j.
MICH. Jones, a contribution OF much
merit by Jos. L. Rhees, the continue
tiOn of Mr. Posts serial and other
good things, including several spark
hing bits of verse.
The departments of Society" "The
Clubs and Music" are unusually in
teresting in a month which affords the
ordinary cleaner for events under
these heads very little reward for the
most patient effort. These depart
ments are not only very faithful
chronicle of happenings of local in
terest, but have a piqlrant attractive
ness and vivacity which is distinctly
happy, and which adds greatly to the
charm Of this appreciated publication.
A feature Of THE Clubs" is a sketch
of Mr.. John Frew, Of the Intelligencer,
which correctly delineates a genial per-
sCnality and a successful business man
The whist department this month
is also of more than ordinary interest.

son, which wan so marked during the
civil war, Is not noticed. The surgeon
Of to-day shows his skill by keeping
his patient in possession of his arms
and legs and not in divesting him Of
them. It is said that some marvellous
operations were performed by the sur
geons in front of Santiago, and the
small percentage of deaths recorded is
proof of the wonderful advance made
in surgery and medical science In the
last thirty ears. It is said that few
cases of suppuration Of wounds have
occurred; there is little fever and
wounds heal rapidly. This due, no
doubt to the antiseptic treatment now
used so freely in al surgical cases.
