No SLOW BattIe.hip..

Nrom the New York Tribune.)
One lesson Of the Santiago engagement seems
to be that the battleshp must not carry tor
petloes. Another is that, particularly in a sea
engagement. torpedo boats and their nominal
destroyers count for little. and that the rapid
fire batteries Of the ships are Of supreme impor-
tance. To these may be added the crowning les
son that We want no slow battleships. Every
one henceforward built should be as swift as
any in its class in any navy in the world, and rs
swift as the highest art Of shipbuilding can make
Il.

Santiago, July 20.-In all probability
within less than three weeks the tattered
and Falstafiian-appearing army Of Gen.
ToraJ, II not absolutely landed. will be
in close proximity to the Spanish ports,
where they are to be set ashore. Every
soldier of his decimated phalanxes is
heartily glad of the prospect Of going
home. whatever may be his fate when
he gets there, and the American army
officials will be no less rejoiced at getting
rid Of them. Preparations for their en-
barkation are progressing rapidly. and
there b no doubt but that when :he
transports are ready their human freight
will also be In readiness to go aboard.
There have been long conferences he
tween Gen. Shafter and Commodore
Sampson upon the subject Of transporting
the Spanish troops. One OF the conclu-
sions reached was that several of = the
vessels taken as prizes in this harbor
are found available for the work. The
Mexico, on which 1.000 of the troops can
be sent back home, will be the most use
full Of the prizes. The Reina de los An
geles can carry 600 men. as can the Nor
terra and the San Juan. II still will be
necessary to provide other transport for
all but about 5000 of the Spanish troops.
Santiago has been like a city enjoying

welcomed the Americans, and have gone

Toral will be punished for surrendering

All Of the contact torpedoes have been
removed from the channel, but the cable

For the first time in the history OF the
City of Barre, battalion of real United
States Volunteers will march through
our streets and beneath the triumphal
arch on September 9TH. 1t is with a
certain degree of pride that the citizens
of Barre have taken hold Of The matter
and are laboring one and all to make it
a success for, so far as known, it will be
the first affair of the kind to take place
in the United States since the close of
the recent war. That the cause is a
good one and that the people of sur
rounding towns are inspired with the
same whole soled patriotic spirit is evil
dent from the interest which they are
taking in this occasion. 1t is not for
the city or town of Barre that this pro-
iect was instituted but for the benefit of
the brave boys who have suffered so
much at Chickamauga, and upon that
basis we respectfully invite every one
of our neighboring townsmen to lend
their efforts to make the day a grand
success.

How Jim Adkins Went to War. Got Buried

old colonel, "did any of you ever hear
the story of Jim Adkins?"
"NO."
"Well, I'm surprised. Everybody in
the settlement knew it. Jim was no

was anxious to get rid of him, so when
the war broke out and they were look

him away"

they were about to leave without him
when the old man winked and pointed
to the barn.
"That was enough, and they got him
and marched Linn to the front.
1.-THE old man was sorry after Jim
was gone and his conscience hurt him
bad. But he hoped for the best, until
one day he got a message that told him
Jim had been killed and buried on the
battlefield.
"Then he packed his grip and started
right off to bring Jim's body home, if
possible, for the grief stricken mother
would have nothing else and made life
miserable for him with her reproaches.
"He went to Virginia, and was there
informed that it would be impossible to
remove tho body. So he stood over the
spot where it was buried and wept for
three days. Then he went sadly home.
"And, 10 and behold, the first man
he met as he neared his gate was Jim
safe, sound and right side up with
care!
"It was some time before the old
man could say word, but when he
found it was really Jim-in flesh and
blood-that they had got Jim mixed up
with some other Adkins, and he hadn't
been killed at all, the old man was

coat, then rolled up his sleeves and
made for him! 1t was the liveliest scrap

girls and two stout darkies to pull the
old man off.
"He never did explain why he did it,
and Jim didn't ask any questions, but
the next morning he told his mother
that while his furlough wasn't out still
he knew his country needed him and
he couldn't stand to stay at home under
those circumstances, so he left his
