Washington, July 25—The follow

war department hem General Shalter :
“Santiago, via Hay ti, July 24.—Ad

number surrendered was largtt than
General Toral reported—s,oos Spanish
troops and 350 volunteer guerillas.
The volunteers gave up their arms and
gave parole and have gone to work.
Three thousand stands o( arms were
turned io, loaded on ox carts, and
started to the railroad. The Spanish
troops accompanied him to San Luis
and all Were apparently greatly de
lighted at th* prospect oi returning
home. They were on the verge of
starvation and I will have io send
them rations tomorrow, If the num
bers keep up as they have, there will
be about 24,000 to ship away. There
are nearly 12,000 here—3,ooo from
San Luis, 6,000 from Guantanamo and
over 2,000 at Sagua and Baracoa.
“Shafter, Maj . Gen. Com.”
A dispatch received by Adjutant
General Corbin says that 396 new
cases,of fever of all classes developed
in Shafter's camp yesterday. As only
four deaths occurred from yellow fever

Previous dispatches from General
Shafter and the medical efficers of his
corps have indicated the existence in
the camp of a very large number of
cases of malarial fever and dengue
fever, the latter being peculiar to the
Cuban climate
Some clear cases of yellow fever are
reported, but the officials say they are

Three southern regiments have been
picked from General Coppingeria corps
and have been selected to go to
Porto Rico. These are the Second
Georgia, the First Florida and the
Fifth Maryland.
General Corbin said Ibis morning
that they would certainly not go to
Santiago and could not see how the
mistake could come about. .
He could not tell what day they
would get off, but thought it would
not be later than Thursday. General
Shafter wired Saturday that ten trans
ports had already left' Cuba for this
coast and that they would get to
Tampa today or tomorrow and that
not more than two days would be res.

The Endlege Chain-
The endless chain may become a
fad, since the lady of Long Island has
made so great a success of it, and I
expect to hear of old aid indigent
citizens persuading intimate friends
to give them a lift by starting the
wheel at five or ten cents. It is a
first-rate way to make a beginning in
life, where a man is not proud. He
can suppress ecuplea by saying that it
is such a small matter for the individ-
W ' -iU *' ' • .
And endlegs chain starting With
four friends, eaeh contributing a dime,
and persuading four of his friends to
, do likewise, then each of tbe sixteen
inducing lour of bis friends to keep
{.he good worg going and so on up to
the twentieth geometrical progression,
would make, tbo last contribution to
the Bed Gross .'ynd $109,128,921,977.-
60. AB the contiibutiona added to-1
gether would amount to more than
$144,000,000,000.
Take a small matter of cents. If the

WATSON MAY JOIN DEWBY
General Baeokq Sails for Porto Rtoo
on the St- Louis.
• ■
Washington, July 25 —There tea
growing belief that when Commodore
Watson sails fin will not return to thia
country untjl he has visited the Phil
ippines Ipdeed this would seem to be
his destination from remarks which
are dropped from time to time by va
rious members of the administration.
One member of the strategic board
says there is no doubt about an Amer
ican equadroa going to Spain. In fact
he said it was likely that when Watson
sailed he would go much further
No further explanation was given,
btst from other sources the i'-formation
comes that Wateon’s destination will
be the Philippines The administra
tion denies that it will attempt more
than the destruction es Camara's fleet.
That accomplished, the squadron will
centinue through the Suez and join
Adm.iral Dewey to further protect the
rights of this country in v the Philip
pine archipelago.
Major General Brooke, commanding
the First army corps, will sail this
afternoon from Newport News to join
General Mile# at Porto Rico.
The general will embark on the St.
Louie, and he Will proceed immediate
ly without waiting for the whole of his
command, he should arrive off Porto
Rico some time Fiiday or Saturday.
The St. Louis will be accompanied on
the run down the coast by the St.
Paul, ou which will be the headquar
ters of General Hains. The remainder
of the troops in Chickamauga will be
embarked at Hampton Roads as rap
idly as possible, and it is expected that
the last of them will be aboard ship
by Wednesday.
s?he department has no maMer of
donM that Mlles is off Porto Rico, and
as all of the details of the expedition
are moving with precision, there is
every reason to believe that the troops
will be all ashore by the end-of the
week. Col. Hecker, who is directly
ia charge, ®f the transportation ar
rangements, has returned to Washing
ton from fortress Monroe entirely sat
isfied with the progress being made
there in the embarkation of General
Brooke’s command.

Chesterfield Superficiality-
Chesterfield's idea of excellence was
essentially superficial, fpj bis praise of
solid acquirement and genuine princi
ple is always coupled with the asser
tion of their entire inutility if accom**
panied by grace, external polish, and
an agreeable manifestation. He omits
all consideration of tbeir intrinsic
worth and absolute dignity; their
value t<« the individual, according to
him, is wholly proportioned to bis skill
in using them in a social form.
In one of bis earlier letters to Philip
Stanhope he writes : “What an advan
tage has a graceful speaker with gen
teel motions, a handsome figure, over
,ona who shall speak full as much good
sense, but who is destitute of these
ornaments.
' “In business how prevalent are the
graces; how detrimental is the want
of them! If you should not aequire
manners, all the rest will be of little
use to you. »’ By manners I mean enx
gaging, insinuating, shitting;
a distinguished politeness, an almost
irresistible address, a superior grace
fulness in all you say and do.” He
would have manners overlay individu
ality, and gees so far as io declare that
a soldier is a brute, a scholar a pedant,
a philosopher a cynic without' good
breeding.—-Gentleman's Magazine.

A Queer Habit. j
A Cleveland man has set aboup
, teaming the use of the
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Up
to the present time he bps had some
body to do his typewriting for him,but
i uow he wants to know how to run it
all by himself. He admits that ‘be ia
not an apt scholar. It comes slowly.
The letters are hard to find, and the
spacing is so easily forgotten But
there ia one thing that amuses him.
He is learning to spell, and learning
the same way he did in the early 60s.
Os coarse he oould spall when he tack
led .the typewriter, but not in the
same way. Now he distinctly enum
erates each letter, and does it, too,with
the greatest care. It is a funny thingy
but be finds himself spelling out the
words in the newspaper, and bis wife
says he spells them in bis sleep.
The other day the minister met him
and asaed him bow he was.
“V-e-r-y w«e-l-l,” he gtavely spelled
out, and when the pastor looked
amazed he realized what he bad done
and hastily explained the cause of the
peculiarity. And the minister pro
fessed to be greatly intetested and
wanted to know all about it, and the
speller is now greatly worried for fear
the parson will write a special paper
ou it for.some magazine.
Wken the minister finally left him
he shook hands and said “Goodby.” z
“G-o-osd,” began the speller, and
then recollected himself and hastily
added “by.”
He hopes in time to wear out this
peculiarity, and when he increases hie
speed on the typewriter he no doubt
will.
Costly Blenheim Palace-

which required $4,000 werth df putty
a year to keep the window panes in
order.
Money went a good deal further in
the last century than it does now.
Consequently when the House of
Comtnons veted $1,500,000 to build
the first duke a residence there pres
ently sprang up an edifice 348 feet
long, with an interior so vast that
when a government messenger once
came post baste there to the late
Lord Randolph Churchill during one
of his visits with a dispatch 'it
overhalf an hour before his lordship—
who, for exercise, had been exploring
the palace, with its fifteen staircases—
was found-
The last time it was repaired the
late duke was obliged to apply to Par
hament for permission to sell the pict
ures and library to pay the bills,
which amounted to more than $7,500,*
000. It is, therefore, not surprising
that, although the estate yielded S2OO,
000 a year, the expenses of keeping up
this preposterous residenee kept the
duke a poor man.—Ex.
Children With Neryes-
A word about nervous children! Os
course there might be nene, but there
are thousands of them. Never scold'
them nor “make fun” of them. They
suffer enough without your threats or
sarcasms. Pretend not to see tbeir
awkwardness when in company, nor
thbir grimaces when along. A case
was discus sed the other day of a boy
of 10 years old, who, on being vexed,
and often without any apparent prov*
ocation, will clench his hands and
make the most frightful contortions of
the muscles of the fsc« and head. His
poor mother fears he is an idiotic. By
no means. He is the brightest boy in
his class at echool fond of reading and
of nature] bistory, but he is of a high
ly nervous temperameut, and has not
been taught to control the little wires,
so as to speak, on which be is Strang.
This is no single case, There are
thousands of children who give way to
their nerves in a like fashion. Talk to
them about these curious little fellows
that should bo tbtir servant, not tbeir
masters. Never chastise them.

A New Story of Germany’s War Lord.
Emperor William, of Germany, dis
likes nothing more than to see his offi
cers excited or In the least ruffled at
parade or manoeuvre He frequently
bad occasion to criticise old General
ven Meerscbeidt on that account,
and at a recent review in. Berlia the
Kaiser reprimanded him for losing his
self-possession at a trying moment.
“If Your Majesty thinks that I am
getting too old I beg of you to allow
me to resign.”
“No, no,” replied the Kaiser, “you
are too young to resign. Indeed, if
ybur blood didn’t course through your
veins quite so fast you would baa
more useful army leader.” j
On the evening of that day the Kai
ser and the general met at a court
hall The general was talking to some
young ladies who, for lack of room,
were not dancing
“Ab, Meerscheidt,” cried William,
“that is right, get ready te marry.
