Automatic Salt works.

About hundred miles north of Lima,
near the town Of Huacho, is one Of the
greatest curiosities of nature-a salt
factory on an automatic plan. When
the tide comes in it fills lot of shallow
basins, and the water is prevented from
flowing back into the sea by closing the
gates. The atmosphere is SO dry that
the water exaporates rapidly and leaves
. sediment of salt in an almost pure
state, which is scraped up, packed into
sacks and shipped to market. Within
the coast little farther the percola-
ton of sea water through the porous
rocks into pits and hollows has caused
immense deposits Of salt to accumulate
The salt is taken out in blocks six OF
eight inches square and sold in that
form. As soon as the salt is excavated
the water comes in again and in year
or two has solidified and is ready for the
market. Wells driven into the sand
disclose strongly impregnated water
at depth Of 25 feet, which seem to be
a great deal heavier than the sea water
and is drawn OF into vats for evapora,

BISHOP SANTANDA'S RESIGNATION.
Comment Caused by His Ignoring
ArchbishOp ChnpelIe.

Considerable intere st is shown here in the
report that the Right Rev. Emanuel San
tanda Frutos, Bishop of Havana, has
sent his resignation direct to the pope at
Rome, ignoring Archbishop Chapelle, the
apostolic delegate to Cuba, who would nat
urally be the medium of such a communi-
cation. Considerable secrecy is manifest
ed in regard to this matter, and it is very
difficult to ascertain the facts Bishop San
tanda is a native of Spain and was appoint
ed from that country Bishop of Havana
in 1885. 1t is said that he differed with
Gen. Weyler on certain questions of ad-
ministration during the recent revolution
and that he has not since been able to
thoroughly adapt himself to the American
military government which has since been
established on the island.

voked. The revised regulations are of in
terest:
tine positions of printers assistant,
skilled helper, operative, plate printer, en-

all other positions in the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing shall be subject to such
provisions.
promotion may be made at any time af-
ter absolute appointment, but not before,
from the position of printers assistant to
the position of operative, preference being
given to those longest in the service who
have been found faithful and efficient and
are qualified for such promotion. The same
principle shall govern other promotions
within the non-apportioned service of the
bureau.
Promotion from the highest class and
grade in the non-apportioned force NAV be
made to the lowest class of any grade of
the apportioned force in the bureau. sub

The War Department has given instruc-

troops garrisoning Fort St. Philip and
Jackson barracks, near New Orleans. This
action is purely precautionary, and results
from the difficulty experienced in getting

Ashore While There.
GIBRALTAR, September 4.-The United
States cruiser Olympia, with Admiral
Dewey on board, arrived here at 9:15
o'clock this morning and fired the usual
salute in honor of the garrison. The COM
pliment was returned by the batteries on
shore and the British battle ship Devasta-
ton.
Admiral Dewey is slightly indisposed at
present and intends to live ashore during
his stay here.
Mr. Horatio l.. Sprague, United States
consul at Gibraltar, an old friend of Ad-
mral Dewey, warmly welcomed him.
At noon the American commander went
ashore and the batteries again saluted.
The second battalion of the ID Grenadier
Guards escorted Admiral Dewey in the car
riage of General Sir Robert Biddulph, the
governor and commander-in-chef, to the
palace, for the purpose of paying General
Biddulph an official visit.

Admiral Dewey reported the arrival of
the Olympia to the Navy Department this
morning by cable from Gibraltar. 1t is
said at the department that the flagship
will stop at only one more port, namely,
Funchal, Madeira, before she arrives in the
United States. While at Gibraltar, the
Olympia will probably meet the training
ship Alliance, the first vessel of the Amer
lean navy that Admiral Dewey has fallen
in with since his departure from Manila.
The Alliance left Southampton few days
ago and is due at Gibraltar tomorrow. The
Olympia will sail from Gibraltar about the
10Th instant in order to insure her arrival
at New York by the 29th instant at the
latest.
Future of the Olympia.
Although the future disposition of Ad-
miral Dewey's flagship has not been final
ly determined, it is probable that the Navy
Department will grant the urgent requests
of two or three cities along the Atlantic
seaboard that the Olympia be directed to
visit them before she is put out of COM
mission. No action will be taken in the
matter, however, until after the vessel
rives at New York and the wishes of Ad-
mral Dewey are ascertained. That officer
will be allowed to decide for himself wheth-
er he will accompany the vessel on any trip
that may be arranged or whether he will
leave her at New York. The Olympia has
had hard and constant service for over
two years and is naturally in need of
thorough overhauing. She may be fit to
make short cruise along the Atlantic
when she returns. but will not be able to
undertake another extensive cruise until
she has received necessary repairs to her
machinery and had her hull scraped and
painted. 1t has been settled therefore,
that soon she is relieved from further
service with Admiral Dewey she will be put
out of commission at the navy yard, Bos-
ton, and thoroughly overhaued and re-
paired.
Will Not BE the Flagship at Once.
The report that the Olympia will succeed
the New York as flagship of the North At
lantic squadron Immediately after the Dew
ey demonstration at New York is positively
denied at the Navy Department, where it
Is explained that she is in condition for
such an assignment, even in case it We're
contemplated. After she has been over
hauled she may, however. be attached to
the home squadron, in which event 1t is not
unlikely, because Of her superior accommo-
dations, that she may be selected as the
flagship; but that is matter for the fu-
ture. The Olympia was built at San Fran
cisco and her service has been confined to

Western Trip Given Up.

President Mckinley will not make his
projected western trip this fall. He will go
to Chicago because he had made definite
appointment to do so. 1t is not even likely
that he will go to ST. Paul. The trip is put
off owing to the condition of Mrs McKin-
ley's health. She is greatly improved, but
her health is not robust enough to attempt
long trip across the continent and the
President will not go without her.
