\ MEMORY OF VIRGINIUs
Ceremony Over Graves of Americans
Shot While Aiding Cuban
InsurrectiOn.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. May 29.-Decora-
tion day will be elaborately observed here.
Notwithstanding the fact that there are few
graves Of American soldiers in this part OF
Cuba. Joseph G.. Saunders has arranged an
impressive ceremony to be carried out over
the graves of the victims of the Virginius
tragedy Of 1873, where some thirty Ameri-
cans and six British subjects, with many
Cubans, who were conveying assistance TO
the Cuban insurrection on the Anne lean
schooner Virginius were captured by the
Spanish gunboat Tornado and soon after
ward shot by the Spanish. The graves have
been located with considerable difficulty by
Major Saunders, a near relative OF a mem
ber OF the unfortunate crew.
Flags Will fly at half mast, a salute will
be fired at noon and a regimental band will
play a drge.
The Cubans are favorably impressed with
the idea of decorating the graves of their
own soldiers and will probably do SO to
some extent.

The prospects for the installation OF IN
electric stamp cahcelllng machine at the
new postofRce are brighter now than they
have been for some time past When this
matter was first brought up Postmaster Etter
was unable to secure bids for the electric
current needed to run the apparatus, as
the local electric light company does not
operate a continuous day circuit and the
current could not be supplied from the
motor wires for the reason that the street
car company has no franchise for furnishing
power. A storage battery was considered
until it was found that this method would
be too expensive. Yesterday Postmaster
Etter received a bid from the Thomson
Houston company of Omaha for supplying
all the current needed to operate the stamp
cancelling machine. This bid has been for
warded to Washington for action by the
heads of the department
Captain Etter is very anxious to have the
cancellng machine placed in service, as
1t will save a great deal OF time in the
mailing department and will virtually take
the place of one clerk, thus tightening the
labors OF the present force slightly. Thou
sands OF circulars are mailed by the packing
houses and commission men and these come
