My Dear Jane, read less war
news and make more jam. I'
will keep you out of a pickle next
fall.
It now develops that Lilians
had only 7,000 in the trenches
in front of Santiago. Shafter had
20,000.

.A real man can never des ;ribe
the way a woman is dressed s<
that another woman can get any
idea of her toilette.
The Spaniards allege they are
fortifying the coast close tc Gi
braltar. This is another big
bluff.
Certain accounts of the share
of the Cuban insurgents had in
things, raise the presumption
that they wouldn’t much rather
flight than ert.

Santiag >, the oldest city in the
New World, is the first to fall
from the grasp of Spain in the
war which is to free the entire
hemisphere from the Spanish
dominion.
When the war is o v er will the

There are other reasons be

supposing that the name of Ad

.become a favorite baptismal
cognomen for young America.
Shafter Ly Hat on his back
end conducted the campaign
that resulted in the capture of
Santiago. If he had only been
well enough to have sat up he
might have captured the whole
isl. nd
The British are proud toclaim '
kin with us now that we have

It is said .lie < flievis and sail
ors of U. Vera’s fleet knew
nothing of Dewey’s victory at ,
Manila until they had baet
made prisoners of war. If Tors,
and his soldiers are taken from
Santiago to Spain they may
never hear of it.

When Dewey asked ttie Germvi
commander if he had any warlike
intentions concealed about his

not answer, “You can search me,”
but Dev.’i‘v searched him, anyway.
Tbe conclusion of peace is a

Prior to tbe surrender of San
tiago a New York broker want
ed Gen- Shafter to shell the city
with rockets instead of by the
use of guns. lie has invented a
rocket which will travel 1000
yards, carrying on the tail o r
the stick a pound of dynamite;
nid he proposes to send a flight
if these curious engines of de
struction into the Spanish
trenches. The inventor claims
that his rockets are safe to han
ile ami accurate in execution.
Says the Philadelphia Times:
C. L. Wilson, of t.ie Manhat
tan club, who went to Siboney,
luba, with a flag presented by
i,he club to the first New York
egiment to reach the front,
purchased, while there, for $lO
i male negro aged 9 years, whom
ic will educate and bring up as
i good Ainericm citizen. The
boy’s parents are dead, and the
papers wrte made out by his
Uncle He is known as “Santia
go Buck.” Mr. Wilson might
mve found white children near
•r homeland far more deserving,
md that would have paid better
as an “investment.”
THREE CHEERS FOR SHAF
TER.
Gen. Shafter’s report, after
having inspected the entrench
ments of the city following Gen.
Poral’s withdrawal, assures us
' that the capture <if the place by
storm would not have been
quickly accomplished task. Ev
ery day tire soldiers were sub
jected to the hardships and fa
tigue of battle array, the greater
•vould be the opportunity for
disease, while city itself was
becoming a greater pest for the
breeding o p fatal disease. Under
such conditions surrounding
! soldiers must have died by hun
' dredsdaily and nt t from wounds.
But for the arrangements that
Gen. Shafter had made not only
would the taking of the city]
have required the lives of 5,00(U
soldiers in battle, but probably
twice that number woul 1 have
been sorely afflicted with dis

avoided ; the city can be held
