Fru the New York Sun.
The surrender of .santiniro is now
couijileU'd, aud ttie Aiiioricau tla
llHbi ovt-r the rpauih (Jovernor's pal
ate iu the heart of the city and over
Morro Clle at the etitrauee of the har
bor. The ccvupatiou of the Civil
Guards and th Orden Publico ia gone,
and the swaggering ypauish oltk-er no
longer hold the city as though it was
their own persoual property.
Order in maintained by African sol
diers, who g about their woik as
though it was quite the usual thing for
them to patrol the streets of 8pauish
cities. It ii a strange esperieuee to
these soldiers from the .North to do
guard duty iu tlie old .Spanish city
from which Cortez started on his con
quest of Mexico, and to stand in the
shadow of the nneient cathedral where
ii4 and his fellow coiinii.-tadorca at
teuded nias ju.-t prior to sailing for
the laud oi the Moiihrrunia; but there
is nothing in their behavior to indicate
that there is anything ia the work
that is novel to them.
The Americans are iu complete pos
session of the city aud all the Govern
ment property ia it. The SpauUh sol
diers have given up their arms and are
now encamped outside the town. They
frequently walk near the American
lines and converse with our troops,
many of wbomr particularly those
from the Southwest, speak Spanish
with more or less fluency.
General Snafter sent word on Satur
day to General Tonl, the Spanish com
mander, that he would take possession
of the city at 9 o'clock this (Sunday)
morning. He left the camp shortly be
fore that hour, accompanied by Gener
als Last ton and Wheeler, Colonels
Ludlow, Ames and Kent, and eighty
other omcera. The party walked slow
ly down the hill t- the road leading to
Santiago, along which they advanced
-until they reached the tree outside the
walls under which all the negotiations
for the surrender of the city had taken
place.
As they reaclred this spot the cannon
on every hillside and in the city itself
boomed forth a salute of twenty-one
gun, which was echoed at Siboney
and AserraoVn.
The solJiers knew what the salute
meant, and cheer upon cheer arose aud
ran from end to end of the eight miles j
of the American lines.
A troop ol colored cavalry and the
Twenty-fifth colored infautry then
started to join General Shafter and his
party. Tlie Americans waited under
the tree for ten minutes, when Gen
eral Shafter sent word to General Toral
that he was ready to take oiesBiou of
the town.
General Toral, In full uniform, ac
companied by i!00 Spanish officers,
shortly afterward left the city and
walked to where the American officers
were waiting their coming. When
they reached the tree General Shafter
and General Toral saluted each other
with grave courtesy, aud salutes were
also exchanged by the other A merican
and Spanish officers. Tbe officers were
then introduced to each other. After
this little ceremony the two command
ing Generals faced each other, and
General Toral, speaking in Spani.h,
said:
TORAL'S FINAL SI KKENDER.
"Through fate I am forced to sur
render to (Jcneral Shafter of the Amer
ican army the city aud the strongholds
of the city of Santiago."
General Toral's voice trembled as he
spoke the words giving up the town to
his victorious enen y. AahefinUlied
speaking the Spanish officers present
ed arms.
General Shafter, in reply, said:
"I receive the city in the name of
the Government of the United States."
ieneral Toral addressed an order to
his officers in Spanish, aud they wheel
el about, still presenting arms, and
General Shafter and the other Ameri
can officers, with the cavalry and in
fantry following them, walked by the
Spaniards and passed on into the city.
Tbe soldiers on the American line
could see all tbe proceedings, aud as
their commander entered the city they
again ave voice to cheer after cheer.
The Governor's palace U situated in
the centre of the city, fronting the
Plaza de Armas, at the other end of
which stands the cathedral. General
Shafter Immediately proceeded to the
palace, where a crowd numbering 3,000
persons had gathered. The Civil Gov
ernor, Leonardo R ss; Mayor G jbriel
Ferrer, Clrief of Police GJtierrez and
fifty minor city officials were waiting
in the plaza. As the Americans en
tered tbe little park, for each the Phut
de Armas Is, they were subjected to
running comment by the epectator,
most of whom were Spanish. There
were present, however, some English

b'iuanU, with the result that ther
were several nt flht In the crowd,
but the trvuhlft Waft quelled alllMrftt aa
aooil as it I leMI.
After th American had arrived at
the iialsc the Art hbinhup of Hautlsgn,
Fray (Urotbi r) Jowe du Slum ) Ia
Inay CrexjH, the iixmI powcnul eo-
ieMlatIc iu Cuba, artmmpAiiiel by ten
prlexta, came on the nvne, gravely
saluted General Shafter and entered
into con vemtlon ith him.
TI'H.VINU OVI'K TIIK tiTV.
Prior to the formal ceremony of hand
lug over the city to the Amerlcaus a
lunch was served at the palace. The
only Cuban present at any of the cere,
monies was General Joaquin Castillo
and one of hi aid-, who were the
jH-rwinal gueeta of General Shafter.
The reason that no Culan partlclated
In the ceremony was that General Ca
llxto (iarvia did not like to enter the
city while it was still uii.b r the rule of
such eucmie to the Cuban cause as the
Santiago officials had been.
Very little time was txrupied at the
luncbeou. Jut U-fore noon Lieutenant
Mi".ey, carrying the American flag,
went to the top of the palace. General
Shaficrand the other Americans, fol
lowed by the Spanish military officers
and officials, went into the P.aza,
where the American cavalry and Infant
ry were drawn up. Lieutenant Mi Icy
with two other officers bent the Hag to
the halyards attached to the palace
flagstaff.
When Admiral Cervcra's fleet ar
rived at Sautiago the Civil Governor
gave great public banquet At that
time he had put up ou the front of the
building letters two feet diH-p, made
of gas pipe, which read, "Viva Don
Alfouse XIII." These were illumlu
ated at night The letters were still
there. Tluy stood twit black but dis
tinct, immediately under tho stair
where Lieutenant Mlley was ready to
11 oat the Stars aud Stripes. As the
great bell In the tower of the cathedral
gave the first btroke of 12 o'clock Lieu
tenant Miley ran the fl-tg up to the top
of the stair and it broke out, its folds
fpreading to the wtuthwest breeze.
CHEERS FKoM THE PEOPLE.
l!y this time every house around the
Plaza was jammed with people, and
as many were in (he square as could
crowd themselves into iu As the rlair
floated to the bretre all hats were re
moved by tbe tqieclators, and the sol
diers presented ar.ns. As the last stroke
of the hour tolled out a military band
played the Stir Spangled I (an tier,
which was followed by three cheers for
the lied, White, aud P.lue. The sol
diers cheered, and they were joined by
more than half the ptople, who yelled
"Viva los Americanos.". The crowd
was composed of half-starved-looking
wretches, whose appearance told more
plainly than words the sufferings they
had undergone since tbe beginning of
tbe siege. They all seemed grattful
that the Americans were in posseesion
of the ity, evidently anticipating that
their days of hunger and misery were
over.
As ths American flag floated over the
city, Captain Capron's battery, at the
right centre of the American liue, tired
national salute. As the guns thun
dered, our 20,000 men, from the Third
Regiment, on the left of the line, to the
Eighth Regiment, far off on the EI Co
bre road on the west, yelled, cheered,
roared, threw their hats into the air,
and jumped up and down.
By following with the ear the salvos
of cheering, one got an idea of how
completely Santiago and the Spanish
army were hemmed in. Our soldiers
stood on the crests of the trenches.
which they had won at the cost of so
many lives, as far as the eye could
reach.
The hills were alive with men danc
ing with joy. The regimental flags at
the centre, waving in the gentle breeze,
lent color to the sombre uniforms of the
army.
Tlie Rough Riders were the most con
spicuous of all the troops. The First
Illinois Volunteer Regiment started to
cheer hem, when Private Hughes, of
the Rough Riders, called for three
cheers for Colonel Roosevelt.
Tbe response was electric, and a
mighty roar went up. Colonel Roose
velt, in response, called for cheers for
the army, and they were given with.
hearty good will. Tbe cheering was
heard In the city.
After cheering the flag on the pa' ace,
tbe soldiers In the city cheered General
Shafter.
The ceremony of taking over the
city being completed, General Shafter
and his officers left for the American
camp. Soldiers were assigned to patrol
duty in the city.
LAUNCHES ENTER THE HARIOR.
Meantime the navy had determined
to take part in tbe ceremonies of sur
render. Admiral Sampson had receiv
ed requests for permission to enter the
harbor from every small boat in the
fleet. He, however, refused permis
sion to all on account of the danger
from submarine mines, but he permit
ted launches to go in.
Three of them entered, feeling their
way along up into the harbor past the
wreck of the Spanish cruiser Reina
Mercedes, with which the Spaniards
had tried to block the harbor; past the
Merrimac, which Lieutenant Hobson
had almost succeeded ia sinking across
the channel, aud up into the bay, at tbe
bead of which Santiago lies. They ar
rived ia time to take part ia the final
cheering. They found the army al
ready in possession of everything.
The only war vessel in the harbor
was the small gunboat Alvarez, which
mounts a modern four-inch gun for
ward and a machine gun aft. The
Spaniards requeued that the American
flag be not raised on her until all her
crew had left her.
Lieutenaut Marble, who was in com
mand of the lauuehes, gave his con
sent to this, and the Spaniards ran the
boat up to the dock, where they disem
barked. Lieutenaut Marble then ran
up a new American fl-ig on tbe vessel,
and a ship of war was added to our
navy.
Lieutenant Marble also took posses
sion of the other vessels in tbe harlior.
One of them was a big steamer named (
Ju-ina de los Angeles. She bad been
used (o transport troops by the Span-
erset

SpanUh defeat they would Dot have

W E MOVE INTO MollKO.
llefore the gunboat reached the sta
the men on our slilpaaaw American In
fantrynieti and cavalry ou the hills at
Morro Castle and the ide batteries.
They knew then that the surrender
was complete, and they cheered heart
ily. The ship moved up close under
Morro Castle, and It was then seen
what awful havoc the guns of ourahlp
had wrought The Morro was literally
a pile of ruins. It was smashed every
where, and the rock of which it was
built had been crumbled Into dust.
Houks on the hill had been torn to
pieces. There were a doxen holes In
the lighthouse on the Morro. The
building around the semaphore had
been compleUly destroye.!. There was
a lottery to the eat which had mount
ed six guus, all but two of which were
wrecked.
The hill itself had been torn up by
the exploding shells. This battery was
protected by barrels of samL The rea
son that the Spaniards had shot too
high In replying to our fire was that
some of the sand-barreUIn front of the
guns were so high that It was uecessary
to greatly elevate the guns in order to
shoot over them. Of the guns In the
battery four were modern and two an
cient. The western battery was in the
same condition.
Several of the guns were dismounted
and the earth was all torn up. The
sand-bugs used to protect the guns were
ripped oeu in many places. Not a gun
was seen ou Smith's Bay. The battery
there was apparently uuinjured.
Inside the harbor entrance some tre
mendous holes were seen that were evi
dently made by the guns of the Vesu
vius.
The first - close Inspection of the
wrecks at the entrance revealed that
the Rciua Mercedes does not block the
channel.
She has two 12 inch holes in her side,
showing that she was sunk by the
Texas or some other of our ships, aud
not by the Spaniards.
While the ships were inspecting the
entrance Lieutenant Marble arrived on
the captured gunboat He had a great
reception from all the ships.
General Shafter Never FreU-
Everybody Is wondering how (Jen
era! Shafter mauages to survive tbe
blistering calorics in Cuba with bis 310
pounds. The explanation is simple, be
never frets. He is not less cool on the
heights of Santiago than he was at
Fair Oaks, where, notwithstanding
severe wounds, he voluntarily remain
ed on the field of battle, taking an ac
tive part until the close of the engage
ment for this Congress gave him s
medal of honor, which he wears on the
biggest chest in the army. Notwith
standing his great weight, he is, at 63
years, as active as a lieutenant of 3J.
"Pecos Bill" is a fine old chap.
Shafter beingaMichigander, and not
having reached the command of the
department of the east, is generally un
known to Xew Yorkers. For a good
many years he was stationed with his
command, the F'irst infantry, on Angel
island, seven miles from San Francisco,
afterward going to the Presidio, where,
in I8!)7, be commanded tbe department
of California, with the rank of briga
dier general. He was colonel of tbe
First infantry for IS years. 1 ought
to know all simut volunteer soldiers, as
he served with' the Seventh and Nine
teenth Michigan, and as for the colored
troops, why, he was colonel of a black
regiment iu 1S04. New .York Press.

The minister had reached the critical
point iu his "missionary" sermon. He
had finished his firstlies and second
lies, and with one neat figure would
link them to an impassioned appeal
that would strike bis congregation's
hearts, and make their tears fl j w like
water. ,
"If," he declaimed, "it has truly been
said that he who makes two glades of
brass to grow where one "
. The puzzled look ou the face of a deaf
old member iu a front pew led him to
pause and reeat:
"That he Is a benefactor who makes
two trades of blass "
Smiles throughout the bouse, and his
own sense showed him there was some
thing wrong, but, with an, attempt at
lightness he said, airily:
"As I meant, two braids of glass."
Tbe choir was now keen-eared, and
the pastor felt as if he bad met Dewey.
So be shouted: "Two binds of grace."
Ther the senior deacon had pity on
him and arose. "My brethren," he
spoke, "our pastor has been upset by
the intensity of bis emotions, and has
tripped on two blades of grass." San

The landing of the Spaniards was
without ceremony or display. Two
black, fiatiron-Mhaped barges were
brought up, one after the other, from
tbe big liner, about a mile away, and
made fast to LleuU firefly's landing

of a sword, but went at hi work with

Famoni American Saying.
"Don't swiar; fight!" The phrase
baa the ring of sound metaL The
American army of Invasion advaucing
upon Hautlago de I'ulni was preceded
by a body of Rough Riders. Suddenly
tlie Spaniards, who were lying in am
bush, fired a deadly volley, and the
startled Rough Riders replied with au
outburst of curses. "Don't swear ;
fight!" called Colonel Wood. Tim
phrase will live.
America Is a big country; Hi des
tined to liecomc a greit country, for
there is luaulini-Mt and vigor in tho
memorable phrase coined by celebrat
ed Americans. It was S'.tpbeu Deca
tur who originated tlw toast, "Our
country, right or wroug." Henry Clay
said : ' Sir, I would prefer to l; right
than to be President." The last word
of Nathan Hale were : "I only regret
that I have but one life to lose for my
country." William IVnn coined the
phrase, "I prefer the honestly simple
to the ingeniously wicked." And it
was Henry Ward lieecier who uttered
the words, "The mother's heart U the
child's schoolroom."
When nations bewme artifically re
fined lb phrases which theiagreat mm
coin are generally either cynical or t!ip
paut. - Thus to Talleyrand is attributed
the phrase. "Mistrust first impressions,
they are always good." Voltaire declar
ed that "ideas are like beard ; children
and women never have them-" T
which be might have added, "except
when they are monstroities." Antoino
Rivarole said : "It is an immense ad
vantage' to have done- nothing, but am
should not abuse it." Samuel Roger
said : "When I was young I said gwd
natured things aud nobody listened t
me ; uow that I am old I say ill-natured
things and everybody listens t
me." To Sydney Smith we are indebt
ed for the following ungracious de
scription of a fashionable-woman ; "I
not mind the caprices of fashionable!
women. They are as gross as poodles
fed on milk and muffins."
Whether Colonel Wood uttered them
or not, the words "Don't swear ; fight!"
will ring for long in the memories cf
many generations. London Truth.
A Welsh Sermon.
The Welsh are noted for their fond
ness for sermons and music. The an
nual Eisteddfod, the national bardic
congress, is attended by thousands,
who, ti the great day of festival,
"chaiq' the fortunate bard, the winner
of the prize. -
A similar enthusiasm greets the
Welsh preacher who is eloquent iu
speech and practical in expounding
the scriptures. The following story of
a Welsh preacher, told iu the "Journal
of Walter White," illustrates the graph
ic, simple exposition, which com
manded the attentiou of the congrega
tion :
"Noe worked at the ark, driving iu
nails, plump, plump, plump. Tbe
haythen came and said, 'Nov, there's
good bunting in the woods here, hares
and foxes, leave your work and come
and hunt. But Noe kept on hammer
ing, plump, plump, plump.
"Tbe liaytheu came again : 'Noe,
there's good beer at the Red Lion, leave
your work and come and drink.' But
Noe kept on hammering, plump,
plump, plump : and then the rain came,
and the fixl lifted up the Ark, and
carried Noe away, and left the haytbeu
all screaming and squabbling iu tbe

Some Orders for the Guidance of Gen
eral Shafr-
President McKlnley has issued a slate
tmper containing Instructions to Gen
eral Shafter for the government of the
captured province of Santiago, Cuba,
In the course of which be says:
It will lie the duty of the commander
of the army of occupation to announce
and proclaim in the most public man
ner that we come not to make war upon
the inhabitants of Cuba, nor upon any
party or faction among them, but to
protect them iu their homes, In their
employments, and ia their personal
and religious rights. All persons who
co-ojerate with the United States in its
effort to give effect to this beneficent
purpose will receive the reward of its
Bupp,rt aud protection. Our occupa
tion should 1 as free from severity as
imssihlc.
Though the powers of the military
occupant are absolute and supreme and
immediately opt rate on Ihe political
cotnlitioii of the inhabitants, the mu
nicipal laws of tbe conquered territory
such as affect private rights of person
and property and provide for the pun
ishment of crime, are considered as
continuing iu force so far as they are
compatible with tbe new order of
things, until they are suspended or su
perseded by the occupying belligerents,
and in practice they are not usually ab
rogated, but are allowed to remain in
force and to be administered by the or
dinary tribunals, subsOautially as tbey
were bef ire occupation. This enlight
ened practice is, so far as possible, to be
adhered to ou the present occasion.
The judge and tbe other officials con
nected with the administration of jus
tice may, if they accept the supremacy
of the United States, coutiuue to ad
minister the ordinary law of the land,
and as between mau and man, under
the supervision of the American com
mander in-chief. The native constab
ulary will, so far as may be practicable,
be preserved. Tbe freedom of the peo
ple to pursue their accustomed occupa
tions will be abridged only when it
may 1-e uecessary to do so.
While the rule of conduct of the
American commander-in-chief will be
such as has been defined, it will be his
duty to adopt measures of a different
kind, if, unfortunately, thecourseof the
people should render such measures iu
dispeusable to the maintenance of law
and order. He will then possess the
powtr to replace or expel the native of
ficials in part or altogether, to substi
tute new courts of his own eonstilution
for those that now exist, or to create
such new or supplementary tribunals
as may be necessary.
One of the mont important and most
practical problems with which it will
be neceary to deal b that of the treat
ment of the property and the collection
and administration of the revenues. It
is conceded that all public funds and
securities belonging to the government
of the couutry in its own right, and all
arms and supplies aud other movable
projurty ot such government, may be
seized by tbe military occupant and
converted to bis own use. The real
property of the state he may hold and
administer, at the same time enjoying
the revenues thereof, but he Is not to
destroy it save in the ease of military
necessity. All public means of trans
portation, such a telegraph hues, ca
bles, railways and boats, belonging to
the 6tate, may be appropriated to his
use, but unless in e-se of military ne
cessity they are not to be destroyed.
All churches aud builPngs devoted to
religious worship and to the arts aud
sciences, all schoolrfouses, are, so far as
possible, to b protected, and all des
truction or inteutioual defacement of
such places, of historical monuments
or archives or of works of science or
art, is prohibited, save when required
by urgent military necessity.
Private property, where belonging
to individuals or corporations, is to be
respected, and can be confiscated ouly
as hereafter indicated. Means of trans
portation, such as telegraph lics and
cables, railways and boats, although
tbey belong to private individuals or
corporations, may be seized by the mil
itary occupant, but unless destroyed
uuder military necessity, are not to be
retained.
While it is held to be the right of the
conqueror to levy contribution upon
the enemy in their seaports, towns or
provinces, which may be in his mili
tary possession by conquest, and to ap
ply the proceeds to defray the expenses
of the war, this right is to be exercised
within such limitations that It may not
savor of confiscation, As the result of
military occupation, the taxes aud du
ties payable by the inhabitants to tbe
former government become payable to
the military occupant, unless he sees
fit to substitute for them other rates or
mode of contribution to the expenses
of the government, The moneys so
c )l!w ted are to be used for the purpose
of paying the expenses of government
under the military occupation, such as
the salaries of judges and the police,
aud for tbe payment of the expenses of
the army. Private property taken for
the use of the army is to be paid for
when possible in cash at a fair valua
tion, aud when payment in cash is not
possible, receipts are to be given. All
ports and places in Cuba which may be
in the actual possession of our land and
naval forces will be opened to the com
merce of all neutral nations, as well aa
our own, ia articles not contraband of
war, upon payment of the prescribed
rates of duty -vbich may be In force at
the time of the asportation.

THE OLDEST CIIY.
Make a National Maenm oat of San
tiago de Cab.
With the fail of Santiago one of the
oldest cities la Cuba- and tbe former
carltal of the 'lalaud bfeCTKs eujact
to a civillcatioa for which bpaniih ad
ventuieridii so much to jr-A the way
tn tho -MiUtnth tentury. Velasquez
discovered tbe l:itR of iU harbor
and the strength of nature's fortifica
tions and founded the towu in 1-"M,
only enrtit years arter tne ueaiu m
Columbus. It w as given tbe dignity cf
a city in r.i, later becoming tbe capi
tal of tho lalaud, as it is now the capi
tal of the eastern department of gov
ernment. Historically the city Is noted
principally for its occupation by tbe
French in 1"3 and for the ransom paid
to that government for lis evacuation.
More than 3(10 years later it was the
scene of the execution of the officers
and crew of the Virglnius, a ship sail
ing under United States colors, but
which was captured by the SpanUh
gunboat Tornado as a filibuster. Fifty
three men were executed, for whoe
death Spain was forced to make repar
ation. The present city, of pet haps 30,000
population, slopes upward to a height
of 1j0 feet above tbe bay. Its barbor
is large enough to bold the shipping of
the entire Island. It will float tbe larg
est vessels, though the slit in the nar
row channel which Hobson attempted
to block is a bar to some extent. F rom
the heights the harbor prospects are
beautiful, but its stagnant atmosphere,
pent In by surrounding bills, makes the
heat of summer almost unbearable.
The steep cliff of the Sierra Mac sirs,
which cut off" the city from tbe rest f
the Island, have been a bar to railroad
buil-liug, so that the commercial im
portance of the place has dwindled to
third rank. It is a telegaaph center
from which radiate submarine cables
to the western department, to Mexico,
to Jamaica, South America, Haiti,
Porto Rico and the lesser Antilles.
Two-thirds of its expert values are
represented by sugar, with cocoa, rum,
toliacco, cigars aud copper ore iu order
of importance.
With the surrender of this south
eastern center of population the great
est stronghold of tbe eastern provinrts
is lost to Spanish arms. Holguin and
Manzanillo remain, but they are of
small importance as compared with an
cient and strongly fortified Santiago de
Cuba.
A Pretty Cool PriTate. .
Daniel Davis, of tbe Sixth Unihd
States infantry, is at his home in Allen
town, Pa, ou a furlough. He partici
pated iu the fighting before Santiago
and among otht r stories, relates this in
stance of the cool daring of tbe num
bers of his regiment :
"I was lying iu one of the trenches.
About eight feet to my left was a French
military attache. I a frontof the mili
tary attache and myself was a member
of my company. Disdaining to lie
down, and buugry for a smoke, he
reached Into his pocket and took out a
clay pipe and some tobacco. He had
just lighted the pipe and taken a few
whitfs when a iuauser bullet clipped
the stem close to his mouth. Looking
down and seeing that the bowl was not
broken and that sufficient stem remain
ed to afford a purchase for his lips, he
picked up the pipe, filled it with to
bacco, agaiu lit it, and proceeded to
smoke. The French attache's eyes
gleamed with admiration as he ex
claimed : "What stu ff are you Amer
icans made of, anyway?"

deeds of kindness and mercy were the
eomjaonplace of Mr. Gladstone's life.
He does uot say : "I am great ; therefore
I may be absolvvd. from the duties cf
lesser men." To him, as to every tf ue
soul who sees life as it is, the human
was worth more than any mere intel
lectual attainment.
"Has any one been to see you?" asked
tbe vicar of St Martins-in-tbe-Fields
of a poor crossing sweeper who was ly
ing ill.
"Yes," was the answer, "Mr. Glad
stone." "Which Mr. Gladstone?"
"M.r. Gladstone' repeated the sick
mau.
"Bit how cams he to visit you?"
asked the vicar. He could uot under
stand why the Chancellor of the Ex
chequer, though be was then living in
that parish, should call upon a creating
sweeper.
"Well," said the invalid, "he always
bad a word for me when be parsed my
crossing ; and when I was not there,
be missed me. He asked my mate,
who had taken my place, where I was,
and when he heard I was ill, he put
down my address on paper. So he
called to see me,"
"And what did he do?"
"Why, be read to me out of the Bible,

I Million a Say far War.
A Washington special to the New York
Herald says; Nearly tlOO.OOO.iHH) in can u
has already been paid out of ths treasury
on account of tbe war with Sain. It is
im possible to obtain an accurate estimate
of tbeooai of the war for tbe reason that
it is difficult to draw tbe line exactly be
tween what would be tbe ordinary ex
penses of the army and navy aod.tbe
expenses directly chargeable to the war.
However, tbe expenditure on account of
the army and navy since tbe passage of
the national defease set have run uk re
than fT.i,(XX),0iX over the expenditures for
the same period of last year. Tbe greater
part of this was expended for tbe war
department, tbeexpeo.se of which have
Increased more than $JO,OUO,000. Tbe in
crease in naval expenditure has been
over "j,C&0.0U0.
These figures represent actual cash pay
ments, and do not include contract ou
which payments have not yet fallen due,
as Is the case with many of the contracts
made under the national defense act.
Since July I the war expenditures have
averaged about tt.Oon.Ou) a day. and it Is
expected they will run far over this
amount when more of the army is actual
ly in the field, the cost of niainuiniug It
there is much greater than intbeeauips.
Heavy aa is tbe drain upon the treasury
there will be no diiftcnlty in mooting all
demands as they become due. Within a
few days the proceed of tbe tJOO.'JOO.OUO
bond sale will be oovered into the treasu
ry, running the cash balance far beyond
iu present fls.re of $0,000.otiG.
The war revenue law i also in full op
eration now, and receipts under it are
coming fully up to the expectations of the
treasury department. It b too early ye
to make predictions as lo what will be the
average tnouthiy receipts from the new
monthly taxes, but the indication are that
they will amount to fully HaCOO.Ouo,
Thiawiii not be enough to meet all the
expenses of the war, and the proceeds of
the bond sale will have to be drawn on
largely, while, if tbe war Is continued in
definitely, more bonds will have to be
Issued.
