Uncle Sam as a Hustler.

Those who have grumb,ed at the delay
and slowness of the government III
carrying on the war against Spain
have done so without even the shadow
much history made in so short time.
and though Uncle Sam is a man of
peaceful pursuits he has shown the
world that he does nothing by halves, and
has put into his fighting a marvellous en-
crgy never seen in a previous war. No
wonder the nations gaze with awe and
apprehension at the exhibition of his
all-conquerng prowess and ceaseless
activity. The Santiago campaign is
good example of the speed and COM
plcteness with which he is doing things
in this war.
1t required a little more than two
weeks for General Shafter to trans
port his army of 10000 men nearly 1000
enemy's country, march inland, storm
and take important outworks and
force the capitulaton of $4,000 troops,
many of whom We're intrenched ana
fortified. All this, under seemingly
insurmountable difficulties of climate
and topography. All Europe is still.

these results were accomplished.
But it is the American way. The
United States is in a hurry. 1t is plan

rapidly as it wages war. Santiago

bids for the transportation of $4,000
Spanish prisoners from Cuba to their

Mckinley issued a proclamation pro-
mitigating a complete form of provi-

province. Wednesday a sanitary corps
began the work of cleansing the fever

York for Santiago with a fun passcn-
ger list ana loaded to the gunWales
with cargo of assorted merchandise
for the revival of trade in Cuba.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York July 20.-fhe insignificant
net changes in most stocks are fair in
dcation of the neglected condition Of the
days market. The prospects Of early
peace with Spain. the assured cheap
money and the already secured crops are
not sufficient to induce buyers 10 take
stocks. The dizziness Of today's stock
market was only varied by manipulativc
movements Of the industrial specialties.
Sterling exchange showed a heavy tone
early in the day, but anticpations Of gold
engagements for import were dlsap-
pointed.
