It is under stood that Gen. Shafter will at once re- ceive instructions. War Department officials have been in conference at the White House and War Department. Shatter Will Await Reinforcements. All of Gen. Shafter's despatches were not made public for reasons of *impede. ency. It is understood he will withdraw to the hills near the city and await rein • forcements, which will be sent as soon as possible. Assistant Secretary iffeiklejohn Is now busy arranging for transports. Miles Calls It a Draw. Gen. Miles said the result at Santiago appears to be a drawn battle. He also saki the withdrawal of Gen. Shafter to the highlands of Slboney, near the sea, would be temporary, enabling the troops to rest and prepare for future work. Gen. Sbafter would probably give up El Caney and the plain not far from Santiago. FLEET AIDED THE TROOPS. Did Little Damage.

The other ships retained their blockading positions. At 10.15 a signal flag ashore wig- wagged to Admiral Sampson to com- mence firing, and a minute later the New York's guns blazed away at the rifle pits, and at the old fort. The Simians and Glomester joined in the echoes, whiele rumbled around and filled the gullies. Piring Without Effect. At 11.80 General Duffield signalled that his scouts reported that no damage had been done to the Spanish rifle pits by the thells from the ships and Admiral Sainpson told him that they had been hit several times, but there was no One in tho pits. , Atter that the New York, Suwanee and Gloucester threw shells every five minutes into the city of Santiago, but with wbat effect cannot yet be told.

The smile on his face grew more and more tender. Presently he sighed, and then ho spoke again to himself : "That has nothing to do with now, old man. That was long ago. You've got it to do." Edna Berson certainly had been a little disconcerted when the news came to her that her sweetheart of five years before had suddenly made his appearance in the town just at tho time when her engagement to Bristol had been made public. She was not vividly conscious of any feeling for Calvin Cortell that could have been con- strued as disloyalty to her finance, but she knew only too even how recklessly tongues will wag in a small town, where each man's—or woman's—business is the busi- ness of all, and, considering many things, Cortell's sudden appearance just then, after a continuous Absence of five years, :night very plausibly be made to bear a significance that would disturb the smooth current of her engagement. There had been rumors that Mrs. and Miss Cortell would, some time or other, go west to make their home with Calvin, but no one had expected to see him back in his for- mer home. Edna sat before the fire two days after Calvin Cortell's arrival, and was medi- tating over these things when Cortell himself entered. She was looking for a Visit not from him, but from Bob Bristol. Nevertheless she found little or no diffi- culty in meeting him with conversational care. At first, that is. Her old friend or sweetheart lost but little time in coining to the particular business of his call, and it • certainly startled her a little when he said, "I am very glad I found you alone." "Glad?' she aid. "Oh, yes. It is nice to be able to have a little chat. Tell me about your life out there?" "I can tell you about that at some other • thne, " said Cortell. "Just at present I have to discharge a d-uty. Oh, yes. It wouldn't be right. At least I wouldn't like it if 1 were in Bristol's place." "Like what?" said the girl. "This"—and he took a tissue paper package froth his pocket. Edna opened the package, wondering. When she saw the old gloves lying there with the marks of wear of many years ago Upon them, but also marked with the folds of many other--later—years of care- ful keeping, a whole procession of mem- ories passed before her mind. She Was id - lent for sorne moments. "What ought I to do with thener she asked. "I don't know. Tell me." Not the least doubt of it the whole affair Was excessively silly.

"MMut.en Then two baoltscrews allow either leg did you find that old cap Miss Berson?" "About a week ago," Edna said, look- ing a little confused. "I didn't niaow you were coming home, then." "Jack stole nay cap, didn't he?" "Yos. You latil to go borne bareheaded." "And you would pull off your gloves a.nd. try to reach for pond lilies."

"By the way, didn't it occur to you to burn it?" Then both burst out laughing once more. As for the story that Bristol and °erten had high* words after that and that mutual friends with difficulty prevented them from fighting a duel, there never was any- thing in it. Bristol was a sensible raan at bottom, even though irascible at times. He made some sort of apology to Edna Berson for his exhibition of temper. But the Bristol-Barson wedding was poetponed in a quiet way. It never came off. The Corten-Barson wedding came off instead, though not until a year after the incident of the inephisto cap.—Minne- apolis Tribune. ot the supporting tripod to be raised or lowered by the thickness of a spider's web, and even so small a change of level as that disturbs the end of the boom. And that makes a pellet of light move on a band of paper, and that movement Is photographed. so that the record shows a slight loop. As notbing is allowed to disturb the boom, once the pendulum is adjusted, it follows that if the record band shows loops and curves instead of a straight line, it is because the earth's surface has moved underneath the sup- porting column and changed its level. As a matter of fact, the earth's surface moves very frequently with tremors. like a creature of life and with long heavings caused by distant seismic( disturbances. And for eaoh of thesis movements the pendulums give an individual record, with tharacteristio waverings and loops on the band, and queer ups and downs that mean nothing to the inexperienced eye, but everything to the seismologist. In each of these records the time is marked in hours along the eage of the band, this being done automatically by watch over the slit in the red box, that shuts off the light for an instant, and naakes a line on the photographic, Ulna.
