Many Cities Secure Trophies Of the
Spanish War.

Many Cities Secure Trophies Of the
Spanish War.
Few trophies of the war with Spain have
been more keenly sought for than the guns
captured from the Spanish feet destroyed
by the American squadron near Santiago
There are about fifty of these guns and
they vary in calibre from 1-pounders to
the and S-inch guns mounted in turrets
on the Spanish warships.
To secure an equitable distribution of
these trophies board was appointed, con.
sisting Of an army and navy officer, to de-
eide the allotments that should be made
by each department. and which pieces
should be distributed by the army and
which by the navy. This board has re-
ported, and the guns will be loaned to a
number Of cities. where they are to be
mounted with inscriptions telling from
what vessels they were taken.
The Navy Department has already made
its allotment. Secretary Long has been
deluged with petitions from cities and
towns asking that guns be loaned them
for exhibition purposes. Under the distri:
button, municipalities will be held respon-
sible for the care of the guns, which must
be returned at any time on tho demand

ed by Admiral Bradford. Chief Of the
Equipment Bureau. to officer and man
these craft with persons from the mer-
chant service. There are about twenty
large vessels now serving as colliers. All
are now manned by officers and men of the
navy. and to put them in charge Of mer-
chant skippers and crews 1t would be
necessary to contract with such parties to

Admiral Bradford contends that the work

formed by merchant captains and men.

the peak and large admiral's flag was
hoisted at the main. The Olympia sailed

even for circnses. q
Maine generally seems to have been the
hottest state In the Union during this in

Passport as usual maintained calm ~

The surprise of the day came at about
eight o'clock IN the evening, when as II
by magic the wind suddenly shifted to
the northeast and poured an Arctic blast
fresh from the icebergs into the over
heated atmosphere.
People who were not at the circus, were
on the street or upon their lawns, wear
ing their lightest clothing and trying In
vain to get comfortable breath of air.
If some one had suddenly turned ice
water onto these sweltering groups OF
humanity, they could hardly have been
more surprised.
AS soon as they had recovered from
their shock there was sudden bolt for
cover, and wraps If they were available
were Immediately produced.
The people who went to the circus were
caught in the worst predicament. 1t was
regular midsummer party, girls and
women In thinnest of shirt waists. and
men in the lightest apparel at their COM

a burden Tor the big tent Was like an
oven and notia breeze was stirring. When

temperature inside to q comfortable
point, but the full effect of the north
wind was not felt.
Once out doors the people realized that
something had happened. The wind
pierced their light clothing with ease,
and the ride in the open cars didn' help
matters. 1t didn't take long for the
shivering and halt frozen men and
women who were landed at the head of
Preble street to reach their homes If they
had any.
The temperature is said to have taken a
drop of thirty degrees in very short
time. Portland hasn't known any such
sudden change in the temperature for a
