Vesuvius took place at the entrance
of Santiago harbor, ON the 18th, about
midnight. While the Oregon turned
her search light on the batteries, a
shot was fired. There was a slight
kissing noise followed by a sort of
cough but no report, no flame to give
warning to the Spaniards. Thirty
seconds later a dull roar broke the
silence of the night. Two hundred
pounds of gun-cotton exploded on a
hillside and the blockading lines, two
miles away, shook with the explosion.
The firing of a 13.inch shell is mere
rifle crack to the deep and mighty roar.
Clouds of earth thrown up from hills
seemed to stand out against the sky.
Another package of gun-cotton was
dropped on the side of the battery,
and possibly have struck the torpedo
boats anchored below. Before the
echoes of the second died away the
Vesuvius sent third charge kissing
out. To the right, on the brow of The
hill, where the battery seemed to be,
into the air flew tons of earth, and the
smoke covered the land for half mile.
The Eesuvius retired at sixteen-knot
rate. There were two flashes from the
hin and two Spanish shells flew after
the cruiser. The test was regarded
as highly satisfactory, and there is in
tense interest in the fleet over the first
trial in war of a dynamite cruiser.
Great Britain, through its ambas-
sadOr ut Washington, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, has informed Secretary of
State Day that when the United
States captures Cuba, Spain will be
forced to end the war. Great Britain
looks on the situation in the light
that Cuba is what both nations are
fighting for, and when Spain has lost
the island there will be nothing left
for her to continue the struggle. Sir

Lecture bureau Enhancement.

The Knights of Pythias lost money
on their engagement of Burdette.
They didn't believe the statements of
those who professed to know that
there was no money these days in the
show business, and submitted the
matter to that grave and impartial
arbitrator, Experience. When a lee
turer OF the fame of Burdette demands
a guaranty, it should be a conclusive
indication that he distrusts his ability
to attract an audience that will yield
certain and satisfactory profits. The
population of each city, town and
hamlet, is first taken into account, in
arranging route, and a reasonable
patronage under good or flush times
is taken as basis for guaranty from
the local manager, ii he is new in the
business, or if by some good humani-
tartan organization, if he refuses,
which may or may not result in
systematic" work" by the agent, who is
generally provided with all the pass
words, grips and signs 50 dear to the
average "jiner." He is generally in a
hurry-has to catch train-and the
golden opportunity of laying up treas
ure for the lodge, may pass, never to
return, if an immediate acceptance is
not agreed upon. Then alluring
figures are given of the results where
other lodges have awaited themselves
Of this means of cOaxing unwilling
dollars from empty pockets, and gen.
orally the decker" hastily made, is
is regretted almost the next moment.
The expectant benefciaries are gen.
orally oblivious of the fact that these
eminent lecturers first try to secure an
engagement direct with the local
management of the theater or hall in
which they appear, and that he having
had his eye teeth cut, has declined
with thanks" the proposition to guar
antee or give first money" or has
treated the proposition with merited
silence. Then it is that the lecture
bureau goes to some organization
one, if possible, that has not had its
feathers scorched-to assume the risk
of extending a good patronage with
the remote prospect of receiving any
thing substantial in return. In nine
cases out of ten the bureau has sized
up the situation so as to absorb the
gross proceeds, leaving the organiza-
ton to hold the sack and possibly dip
down into pockets to pay expenses.
Time and again has this been the ex-
perience of our very accommodating
and complaisant people. Gen. OBrien
" went broke" on the Mendelsshon
Quintette, and Unity on Remenyi, the
former being about $50 out of pocket
and the latter $40, of which amounts
the former paid and the latter got of

Julian Pouncefote has informed Sec
rotary OF State Day that the powers
Will not permit Spain to continue n
hopeless war to the detriment of their
commerce. Great Britain's assurance
probably accounts for President Nc
klnley's orders to the army authori-
ties to prepare an army to move on
Havana. 1t is known that the Presi-
dent was imbued with the idea that
the war could be ended without TAX
ing Havana. But having been dis
abused of this idea and desiring to end
! the war, he has ordered Havana taken
as soon as possible. If Spain will not
consent to end the war after Cuba
and Porto Rico have been captured
preparations are being made to press
the war into Spain itself. Should
Spain not show desire to sue for
peace after the fall OF Santiago, Porto
Rico and Havana and the capture and
destruction of Admiral Cervera's fleet
fast and powerful fleet of warships
will be dispatched to attack the Span.

AN OFFICIAL FORGER,

A batch OF forged State warrants
have turned up as relic of the Re-
publican administration, but the num-
Der issued and negotiated and the
amount involved, are matters which
the future alone may develop. The
amount already discovered runs up to
$4,000 or $4,000, and doubtless the
aggregate is much more, for if the
work was done by the person suspect
cd, George ID. Evans, Deputy State
Auditor, there is no reason to disbe-
lieve that they may run up into the
hundreds OF thousands of dollars, with
the facilities afforded him by which to
ply his fine Italian hand in forging
the names of the State Auditor signed
in issuing and the State Treasurer in
endorsing all warrants. The blanks,
seal, and the knowledge which a con-
fidential employe possessed, all con-
spired to make his scheme easy OF ex-
ecution, and the length of time the
warrants OF general issue had to run,
enabled him to pursue his nefarious
calling doubtless for months without
fear Of detection, for State warrants
were readily brought by Eastern in
vestors, and as interest was payable
only on maturity of the warrants, they
were placed in safety vaults to await
the call Of the Treasurer, which, in
ordinary course OF rotation would not
come for many months, if not the
lapse of years.
The fo:geries are said to be exceed
ingly we'll executed, and the Treasurer
would hardly have detected them had
they not have been of duplicated num-
bers. Evans. rs might have been ex-
pected, is now out OF an officers way
and absolutely no progress has been
made in ascertaining his present loca-
ton. He left here early in 1897, after
the rotation in State Offices had thrown
him upon the cold charities OF the
wide, wide world, and for time hung
out his slingle as lawyer, at Spo-
kane. 1t was observed there that
while he had little business he seemed
to have plenty of money. Before
the time for discovery came around
he left Spokane, but no clue rs to his
destination with anybody. His wife
and an adopted child are said to he
living 1T the Dalles, Oregon.
Evans possessed Jerkel-Hyde ma
ture. He was, in the State Office, a
gentlemanly, obliging and apparently
n faithful and paiustaking officer;
but he occasionally went on sprees,
when quite a different nature was
displayed. His favorite haunts in
such times was the tenderloin district,
and he paid for champagne and
broken glassware and furniture with
princely hand, while RECALLING his
friends, male and female, with taste
OF life that seemed more coneenial to
him than the enforced life OF appar.
ent uprightness and rectitude.
An effort will, of course, be made
to capture the malefactor, but he has
probably enough cunning to keep out
OF harms way az the safest escape
from the meshes of the law. In the
meantime the holders of the spurious
warrants may endeavor to ascertain
how far the bond of the principal
may be made to protect the public
from the criminal acts of those dele
gated to perform the duties OF the
chief. There is certainly q RESPONSE
bility when position aud conditions
are made auxiliaries for commission
OF SO great q crime.

IF, as Oily says, no responsibility can
attach to either the State or the State
Auditor, for use Of the information
seal and blanks by Forger Evans,
which were available from his position
of Deputy Auditor, it will afford a
slick way for future principals having
hold the strings of the public sack to
work "shell game" The idea that
the State Auditor is not as responsible
for the acts done by deputy as for
his own, when those acts could not be
done without the tools to work with"
seems preposterous-but then what
Oily affirms must be so, whether it is
so or not so.

on the plea of non assumpsh. These
are only pair of score of instances
that might be given, wherein the
faith that has been placed in lecture
bureaus has been ruthlessly DESTROYED
by the failure of promised results to
materialize for any benefit to those
who labor zealously to make them a
success.
1t is useless now to contend that
our respected knights paid too much
for the whistle. They know it from
the inevitable logic of events, but they
probably do not know that the agent
ran bluff and that if 4 cool hundred
had not been guaranteed, a hot fifty,
or certainly warm seventy-five,
would have been accepted, leaving q
small margin for profit, or at least
playing even, as the case might be.

hibited by new member. There has

trial in the Superior Court, the larger
part of last week, closed Friday even
ing, by the jury returning verdict
for plaintiff for $962.25, the amount
claimed. The claim was based on a
stock of goods which plaintiff contend

mercial Hotel, at Rochester, many
months ago. Hedican was tried for
arson, the company contending that
he had burned the hotel to secure the

THE EFFECT ON TOBACCO AND BEER

THE EFFECT ON TOBACCO AND BEER.
The ubiquitous internal revenue col.
lector has already bobbed up to worry
our druggists, our brewers, our tobac.
conists, and nearly every other bust
ness enterprise, with a duty of pur-
chasing and affixing stamps to all pro-
prietary articles and unnecessary COM
forts. The tax on tobacco will doubt
less be met by a slightly decreased
size of packages or small shrinkage
in the form of the plug, and probably
the quality may be somewhat effected
as we'll. The duty on beer of 50 per
barrel was Immediately met by an in
crease of the price to the retailer, and
he, not to be outdone, has decreased
the size of the beer glass, so that the
abnormally large schooner" has
sailed its last voyage across the bar.
This will be benefit to " bench and
bar" as it were, to the drinker and
vender; for the stomach after a pro-
longed bout will not be so fearfully
distended and the bar-keeper will not
be obliged to handle go much of the
beverage which "cheers but not ine-
briates." There is, however, sleight-
of hand way of drawing beer, by which
the fluid retains its aeriation and half
the volume of the glass is filled with
froth. Such an artist is invaluable,
and the bar supplied with one may bid
deflnance to war-stamps without any
visible decrease in the size Of glasses.
The sealing schooner Rather lately
arrived at Port Townsend from Alas
ka, bringing down sixteen disguised
searchers for wealth in the northern
wilds. She also brought down hand
and steam dredger, taken up to
work the mines, which after a thor.
ough trial were found to be useless, as
gold in sufficient quantity could not
be found to pay for their operation.
