BribinG SpurHeon.

The recent autobiography of the late
Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon contains an
account of what might be termed al
early business venture, and it's in
tluence on his character. Spurgeon was
brought up on Watts hymns; but not
altogether willingly. His grandmother
coaxed him with money to learn them
At first she gave him penny, but when
she saw how easily it was earned, the
old lady reduced the prize to half
penny and then to farthing. There
is no telling how low the amount per
hymn might have fallen, but just at
this time his grandfather made dis
covery which seemed more desirable
to Spurgeon. He discovered that his
house was overrun with rats, and of
fered his grandson shilling a dozen
for all he could kill. The occupation
of rat-killing gave him more money
than learning hymns. But" Mr.. Spur
geon characteristically says, 81 know
which employment has been the more
permanently profitable to me-

Gen Miles on the Surrender.

Gen Miles said today 70 a rep
resentative OF the Associated
Press:
81 am most grattticd over the
surrender of Santiago. The terms
are just as good as an uncondi-
honal surrender. The Spanish
troops would eventually have to
be sent to Spain; by sending them
at once we feed and keep them
only for n month or so, instead
of perhaps year. 1t would be
hard work to keep them in Cuba,
where, it must be remembered,
they would be constant agency
for the spread of yellow fever.
"ln Spain they will have no
chance to break their oaths nor to
fight against us. They will new
er get back to Cuba, that is Ger
tain. -
I WHAT HE SAYS OF YELLOW JACK.
Asked as to the yellow fever
among the American troops.
Gen Miles said:
"The doctors report 237 cases
today. OF course it is a serious
matter, but | hope by camping ON
the hills to stamp u out, as it is a
mild form Of the fever and ONLY
few deaths have yet occurred
"Our troops fought SpIcndidly.
nobIy. The entire campaign was
a complete success.
Rear Admiral Sampson said to
the correspondent: ~ am de-
lighted at the successful tcrmiYa-
ton of the campaign.
"Thc question OF transporting
the Spanish troops will undou5t.
eddy be settled by the Washington
authorities without delay. If
the troops go on the transports
now of Santiago, or in other
American transports sent for that
purpose they will need no convoy,
the safety of our transports on
their arrival in Spain naturally
being guaranteed" "
All the American troops now on
tho south side of Cuba will remain
ashore probably for some time,
until the Spanish troops are on
the transports. Their task is
like y to be an arduous one. The
marines will keep the camp at
guantanamo, where they have
done such excellent work and
which has proved such an inval-
uable harbor and base.
For the force employed and the
lives lost, it is doubtful whether
in the history of all wars so much
benefit has been derived as from
the work done by this handful of
marines backed up by the ships
at Guantanamo. Admiral Samp-
son is inclined to believe now that
it would be advisable for Guam
tanamo to he made an open port.
TIE WORK OF THE NAVY.
AS far as the navy is concerned.
its work off Santiago has been
done we'll and the unbroken
blockade kept by the fleet and the
consequent hunger and distress
among the Spanish troops had
much to do with their surrender.
These are the negative causes
that contributed to the victory.
