The administration is taking

The Spanish prisoners who
were taken to Portsmouth, N.
IL, and put in a prison camp at
Seavey’s Island, were very much
surprised when they were not
taken there to be shot. They ex
pected death, and when they
found they were to enjoy a com
fortable camp, with inatresses
and clean blankets, and with
the privilege of moving about
the grounds, there - was a happy
surprise. These poor devils never
heard ol such treatment to sol
diers, especially prisoners of
war.

Last Monday Secretary Alger
issued orders attaching the
Hawaiian Islands to the military
department of California. The
First New York volunteers, Col.

tation of the troops to the island.

The administration seems de
termined to stand by its pet,
Sampson. It can’t get out of
giving some recognition to
Schley for winning the victory
at Santiago, and so it is going
to make him an admiral.- But
Sampson must be made an ad
miral too —because he didn’t
win a victory.

This is a good pointer from
the Denver Republican : With

Among the novelties to be ex
hibited at the Paris exposition

A shoe manufacturer with a
head for figures has calculated
that the hides of the following
number of animals would be re

goats, 90,084,548 sheep, 25,-

At a convival gathering of
widowers recently held in Berlin
a beer seller, whose wife had
just died, remarked that her
coffin had cost him S6O. A man
ufacturer of coffins happened to
be present, and said that he
could furnish as good an article
for sls; whereupan the beer
seller replied that he would take
a thousand at that price. The
manufacturer took the matter
seriously, and sent the coffins,
together with a bill for $15,000.

Joseph Leiter’s father calcu
lates that after paying out the
young man’s indebtedness, there
will remain $y,000,000 for the
family. It is to the old man’s
credit that he came to his son’s
rescue and made vast sacrifices
of the wealth he cherished. And
the average man would suppose
that Mr. Leiter might have most
of the necessities and some of
the luxuries of life with $9,000,-
000 left. Mr. Leiter has felt
obliged, howeyer, to abandon
the Newsboys’ Mission, which
he had kept going with contri

No peace propisitions from
Spain which do not include the
indepence of Cuba, the annexa
tion of Porto Rico, and the abso
lute freedom of the Philippines
from all European domination,
will be acceptable to the Ameri
can people, The administration
which concludes a peace with
Spain on any other basis will
sign its political death warrant.
The Toledo, Ohio, Evening
News has evidently been study
ing the war revenue bill. It
says : “How nicely ail the reve
nue stamp tax is shifted by the
corporations onto the producers
and the business public. How
was it done? Dead easy. The
railways, telegraph and express
companies, and the like had
representatives in congress. The
people had a few, but they were
in a hopeless minority.”
Col. James Hamilton Lewis,
member of congress from the
state of Washington, who has
been identified with the militia
for many years, and now hole’s
the rank of colonel, has offered
his services as a field officer in
the volunteer army. Col. Lewis
is an American of the bold and
resolute type, and assigned t<>
duty will not disappoint his
friends and admirers.
