WAR NOTES.

II is said 10 be the intention OF the
navy department 20 send 1000 ma
rines 10 Cavite to take care OF the
navy's interests there. This seems to
toe very large number OF marines to
station al one navy yard. but the eN-
PLANTATION is that the Cavite station is
the largest in the possession OF the
United states. including about 90
square miles of land with IL miles Of
water front. On the government lands
are many squattrrs and some small
towns and large number of men viii
be required 10 thoroughly police the
territory.
a change in the command OF the
United States forces at Iloilo will occur
on March - resulting from the retire
nent of Gen. Marcus Miller who ON
that date reaches the age limit OF Ga

tiremeut is a matter of regret to the

first move in the advance was made by
Gen. Wheaton. who after a hard fought
battle, succeeded in capturing Pasig.
The engagement lasted one hour. In
Surgcnts lost 30 killed: Americans
killed and il wounded
Another engagement has taken place
near Manila. Gen. Hale. determined
TO clear away the enemy from the right
front of his wing. met with fierce
lighting but the American casualties
are light II is estimated that at least
80 rebels were killed and 10 insurgent
sharpshooters laid down their arms
without firing a shot and were taken
prisoners.
The report that Admiral Dewey's
health is breaking down is not sub
Stimulated by Secretary Long. Under
the great strain the admiral has been
subjected to in the past year. and the
fact that hc is past 81 years of age,
makes IL no wonder that his hair is
turning whittier and his figure showing
signs Of weakness.
Rear Admiral iIigginson has de
clined the promotion offered him by
the department ON the ground that his
services have not been OF such conspic-
uous merit as to warrant it, Lieut..
Aaron Ward has also declined promo
ton because he would by accepting it
prevent his claSsmate from ever reach
ing flag rank.
1t is a gratifying fact TO the war de
partment to know.that all of the rein

The total number of American deaths
in the present war from May /. 1898,

SWELL BOOK AGENTS.
They Sell Works of Rare and Antique
Character and Make Large
Incomes.

The really swell book agent is one
who sells books of rare and antique
character. There is fortune in this
class of books. The prices range from
$50 to $500 or more, and the persons who
buy the works are only too glad to re-
ceive a visit from the agent who makes
this class of books his speciality. They
leave their addresses at all book stores
and advertise their hobby far and wide.
A rare edition they will pay almost any
money to obtain, and there is a CORE
spondingly large profit for the agent
Works of art or classics in limited
editions are disposed of only in this
manner. They cannot be obtained
through the usual channels of trade.
The sale of rare old books in England
last year amounted to more than $780,
900. There is no report of the sales of
limited editions, which are never adver-
tised, but are disposed of only through
agents. These limited editions are
printed on the richest materials and
they are works of art as to the print as
well as illustration, which is often in
etchings and water colors. Vignettes
are often tinted by hand, and the ar
tist'sproofs of etchings are also finished
in water color by hand
1t is more easy to dispose of this class
Of work than is realized by the cam
vasser for ordinary books, and the
agent sometimes makes $4,000 a year
in the business.-N. Y. Herald.
