On the Corso in Rome.

In the long, narrow, thronged Corso
the press of carriages. as they go to and
return from the Pincio, is so great that
walking becomes difficult. But, all the
same, | find that conventional drive
along the Corso, through the Piazza del
Popolo, up the winding terraces OF the
Pincio, the euuivalent-and how much
more than the equivalent l-of Hyde
Park or the Bots de Boulogne, one of the
most tolerable of all conventional drives.
What find specially charming is its uni
versatility, it's equality. You will see the
Queen in her carriage with the redlivery /;
the nobility, the rich bourgeois, the shop
keepers, all with their families; nurse
maids, women without hats, young
clerks and young princes, passing and re-
passing, side by side, all seeming to be
entirely contented with themselves, the
fine air, the music, the marvellous view
over Rome, in which the colors bePin to
group towards sunset. On those pictur-
esque heights, high over the city; under
those evergreen oaks by which the Ro-
mans delude themselves into thinking it
is never winter in sight of st. Peters in
the sky, and all Rome, it's roofs and
domes, below; without thought, but
idly satisfied with the sunlight, with the
band that plays to them their positive,
unshaded, soulless Italian music, Verdi
or Mascagni, they pass and repass,
proud OF being Romans, even if they do
not take the trouble to so much asglance

One of the Bravest Deeds of the War.

When Lieut.. Hobson and his men sank
the Merrimac in the channel OF Santiago
Harbor. the deed was almost everywhere
hailed as the bravest of the war. This
was as it should be, but to our mind a
deed equally brave was that represented
in our illustration taken from the current
issue of Harpcr's Magazine. Cutting
the Gables at Cienfuegos.' The illustra-
ton was drawn by r. F. Zogbaum for
the third part of the History of the
Spanish.American War" by the Hon.
Henry Cabot Lodge senator from
Massachusetts who in this nstalment
OF a most notable history discusses The
Blockade OF Cuba and the Pursuit of
Cervera," and gives an admirable
description from an historical point of
view, of the operations around San Juan,
OF Guantanamo Bay, of the bottling up
of Cervera's fleet, and of Hobson and the
Merrimac.
The gallant work OF the men who
under a CALLING fire cut the cables at
Cientuegos has been in the main lost
sight of by reason OF the more important
and decisive battles. A brief resume Of
it will certainly not be out OF place
The same day that the Winslow, the
Hudson and the Wilmington were having
their action at Cardenas, far away on
the southern coast of Cuba another fight
was taking place, in the progress OF the
work OF separating the great island from
the rest of the world. On the night Of
May TO- Captain McCalla of the Marble
head called for volunteers to protect the
cable-cutters in their work. The roll
was soon filled, and the next morning

the steam launches of the Marblehead
and Nashville, towing the two sailing
launches under command of Lieutenants
Winslow and Anderson, started into the
harbor of Cienfuegos about quarter
before seven. They carried squad Of
marines picked for proficiency as marks
men, and machine-gun in the bow Of
head then opened fire on the Spanish
batteries, and under cover of this, and
that OF the steam-launches, the crews of
the other boats went to work. 1t was
a perilous business, but the sailors
grappled and cut successfully the two
cables they had been ordered to destroy.
They also found a small cable, but the
grapnel fouled the bottom and was lost
Meantime the Spanish fire grew hotter
and hotter, pouring out from the
batteries and machine guns, and the
boats began to suffer. The well-directed
fire from the rifles OF the marines and
from the 1-pounders kept the Spaniards
from reaching the switch-house which
controlled the submarine torpedoes, but
launches could not contend with bat
teries at close range, and when the work
for which they came, and which had all
been performed under a heavy fire, was
done, they withdrew to the ships. Nine
men, including Lieut.. Winslow, had been
wounded, some seriously, and three, as
was reported later, MORALLY. 1t was a
very gallant exploit, coolly and thor
oughly carried through, under calling
fire, and it succeeded in it's purpose of
hampering and blocking in the enemy at
the important port of Cienfuegos, which
was the road to Havana from the south
ern coast. 1t was another twist in the
coil which the United States was tighten
ing about Cuba.

RAILROAD NEWS AND STORIES.
A RaiIroad Pays $4,000 for a Car Load
of Sand.

The average railroad official, from the
president down to the section boss, is
thoroughly conversant with the work
that comes in his department, but the
following incident shows that even the
higher officials can make mistakes.
Several months ago a Kansas city,
(Mo.) company bought carload of
crushed ore in Mexico. Advices we're
duly received that the ore had been ship
ped-20 tons OF it. Weeks passed and
the ore did not come. The smelling
company politely asked the local agent
of the railroad company when the ore
would arrive. The local agent said he
had never heard of it. The smelling
company then appealed to the general
agent OF the road. The general agent
gave it up Along the line the question
was passed until it reached an official
who started out tracer for the carload
of ore. A tracer is a document on which
every agent, train conductor, and every
other person who has had anything to
do with the shipment must say whence
he took it and where he laid it down.
From the mine in Mexico the car of ore
was traced from junction point to juno
ton point until it was well within the
companys local yards at Kansas City
and thence to side track by the round
house and into the possession of the
master mechanic.
A carload OF crushed gold ore looks like
a lot OF coarse yellow sand and this par
ticular carload had been knocked about
and disrespected as car of common
sand should be. When the officials were
notified that the tracer had chased the
car into the master mechanics track
they sent him note asking him about
the disposition of the car, giving itsnum-
Der. The master mechanic turned the
note over and Endorsed it on the back:
THE car contained bad quality of
sand. Some of it | used in the sand
boxes of the engines, but it was not SER
viceable, so had it scattered along the
right of way" The railroad paid the
smelter company $50 ton for the
"bad sand."-fNew York Sun.

the most auspicious circumstances at
Sherman-Clay Hall on Thursday, when
Miss Meta Asher and Harry Samuels
made their initial bow after their return
from abroad, where they spent several
years in study with some Of the foremost
masters Every available space was oc-
cupied. which was a compliment 10 the
managerial ability of Sir Henry Heyman,
under whose direction the concert was
given 1t was a most fattering tribute to
the young artists that the audience con-
sisted of San Francisco's foremost music
lovers and included many members Of the
swell" set Both young musicians have
reason to feel proud OF the cordial re-
ception accorded them.
The playing Of the beneficiaries soon
showed that they were fully entitled TO
the ovation bestowed upon them. Harry
Samuels demonstrated that he had not
only a remarkably fluent technique and
firm and sure attack, but that he has an
artistic temperament which manifeStS 1t
self in effective and intelligent execution:
His tone is large and commanding ana
both his legato and Staccato passages are
rendered with refreshing accuracy. Wh1le
he rendered every number in 81 highly
crcditable manner. 1t Will not be mistake

finest achievement for herein the tech
uioa intricacies and emphatic sentiment

as the phenomenal memory of the genius.
Any one willing to give credit to those
who deserve II will not be unwilling to
acknowledge the artistic superiority of
Harry Samuels as a violinist. 1t reflects
much credit upon Sir Henry Heyman
that this young man was his pupil. and

CANTEEN BILLS.

One Of the things brought back by the
First California Regiment from the
islands Is a debt on the canteen account,
which the officers of the command are
now trying to adjust. When the regi-
ment was In Manila eight of the COM
panies went into canteen scheme. The
plan was all right a scheme, but not
as a business proposition, and when the
regiment was ordered to Negros the can
teen was somewhere near $500 in debt.
First one battalion was ordered away and
then another, and in the hurry Of depar-
ture ard the general miXup incident to
the separation of the companies the ac-
counts Of the canteen got in a bad tangle.
The canteen was run by a board of off,
GERS consisting Of Captain ONeil, Cap
tain Connolly and Lieutenant McGurren.
Lieutenant McGurren was the canteen
officer and he did all the purchasing.
When the regiment came together again.
one of the principal matters 1t partially
settled up was the canteen account, but
when IL left Manila there was still due
TO the American Commercial Company
5000 Mexican, or less than $500 in coin Of
this realm.
inPs TO decide in what way this money
shall be made good, but in It all there
Is no proposition to place the blame upon
Lieutenant McGurren.
The money will have to be raised by
assessment or some similar way, but that
n will be secured is certain The regi-
ment las had the benefit of all money OK
nended and all supplies purchased. Ihere
are some outstanding accounts and some
Both OF these items are included in the
bill outstanding. The matter will be set
