Colonel of Engineers, Spanish army,

beard from the French Consul there that
Santiago had surrendered and that they
bad been inaladed. Not crediting it, he
was sent here to verify the fact. They
will be very glad to accept the terms of
surrender. Very short of rations and I
shall have to begin feeding them at

New York. July 25. -The Journal
;stays: Although the contract for carrying
the Spanish prisoners back to Spain has
apparently been awarded to the Spanish
Trans -A Mantic Company, by Secretary
Alger, the other bidders are not disposed
to let it go without a fight. George
Osgood Lord, representing an English
-steamship company, one of the bidders,
has engaged lawyers to contest the
validity of the contract, and they have
notified Secretary Alger that proceedings
tvill be begun at once to dissolve the
contract. The contentions are:
1. That tbe contract is illegal.
2. That it is against public, policy.
3. It gives an enemy ships and naonar
to arm them.
4. It compels Uncle Sam to furnish
eonvoys to protect an enemy's shies
against himself. -

SIR WILLIAM DENIES IT.
His Western Visit Had No Connection
With Rate War.
Montreal, July 25. -The rumor has
been very active and persistent for the
past three days that the trip of Sir
William Van Horne, president of the
C.P.R., to the western railway centres,
had something to do with the rate war,
but that gentleman says it is not so. The
story went on to say that the highest
official of the big Canadian road has gone
so far as to settle the matter with Mr.
J. J. Hill, the leading man of the great
western railway interests. 16 was a state-
ment of that nature which was banded
to Sir William On his arrival here in bis
private oar at Windsor street station.
The President bad just arrived from the
west, the Saskatehewan being attached to
the Chicago train.
"I don't know anything about the rate
war, and my trip to the west was on
entirely different business," was the reply
which Sir William gave. That was all
he had to say on the matter, and ought
to be explicit enough to settle the reports
which have been active for some days.

LOVE IN MIDAIR,
-Kruger Proposed After Me Sweetheart's
Leap Isor We.
Swingi»g in Midair, In full view of
curious thousands, Charles Kruger wooed
and won bis wife. Ile was a performer on
the topaz° and she was bis professional
partner. He tells the story as follows; •
"I bad boon doing a trapeze act for
sone) weeks witivthe elms when the pro-
prietor said to me; 'Why don't you double
up? There's more MOnoy in it, and I'VO
got just tbe kind of a partner for you. She
was born in a circus, liko yourself, and
bas been tieing a turn with her brother.
Ho was killed at Scranton last woolt, and
you two will double, up all right'
"I thought the owner's advice was good.
The next day he introduced me to zny
partner. Her name was then Clara Den-
nison. Sho was beautiful. She had splen-
did black hair, flashing eyes and a superb
figures We talked about our partnership
and. soon came to terms. She was full of
Ideas and daring. She proposed the leap
for life act, and 1 agreed to work with
her,"
Itrugerand his partner shortly appeared
in public. Their act became the most sue-
cessful feature of the show. He was strong
and handsome and she was lithe and beau-
tiful.
"I was beside myself with love," con-
tinued Kruger, "We rehearsed every day
and did our act every afternoon and night,
but those times were the only moments I
saw her.
"Her mother was always with her while
WO practised, and she waited in the chess -
Ing room for her during the performance.
I had no opportunity to see her alone save
when we were in midair. Never did bash-
ful lover suffer so much as L
"I made up my mind that I must speak
without delay. The opportunity came to
me by intuition.
"One night she leaped, and I caught
her. The clasp of her dear hands seemed
to encouraeo noe to speak. There swing-
ing in micrair I told her that I loved her.
She, hanging below me, looked up to me
MIDAIR LOVEMAKING.
and, blushing, whispered that she would
be mine. .A tightened grasp of the hands
was the best answer I could make.
"From that time she always whispered
something to me as I raised her up to
catch her own trapeze on its return. I
carried on iny courtship in midair, obliv-
ious of all whosaw us.
"Then I mustered up courage to speak
to her mother. It was hard work. At
first she opposed my marrying her daugh-
ter, but we both pressed her so hard that
she consented. No marriage could have
been happier than mine. I have had a bad
accident, but even in misfortune my wife
makes me happy."
Kruger is now a watchman in the St.
Louis Female hospital. He broke his leg
recently, and, although he has recovered
from the accident, it will probably prevent
him from ever being a circus performer
again.
His beautiful wife is still appearing in
public to help support her husband and
their child. She does nightly "the leap
for life" act, in which the dives front a
platform 60 feet high and is caught by a
man swinging head downward from a

leprising Against a Derbaroui Custom In
Northwestern Ilungary.
Throughout the northwest at Hungary
the noble landowners aro in the habit of
denutuding 50 days' work in the yem. from
each laborer or peasant on the estate with-
out any remuneration whatsoever. To
such an extent is this tyranny carried that
many of the lamlowners are accustomed.
to use their peasants as beasts of burden,
harnessing four nien to a plow instead of
a pair of horses or a yoke of oxen. When
the landlord has any work to be done, he
sends a dreramer through the Vilinge, and

PEASANTS BITCHED TO I PLOW.
San m of servitude, and accordingly in the
district of Nyiregihanza the peasants
bave organized a movement to abolish
these ancient usages and rights of the
landowners, and have, moreover, refused
obedience to the latter. The landowners
In consequence appealed to the govern-
ment, which responded to the application
by sending troops to the disaffected dis-
tricts. The movement has been suppressed
with no little bloodshed, the leaders have
been either lodged in prison or expelled
from the kingdom, while those who re-
main are forced to comply with every de-
mand made upon their labor by the land-
owners.
Large Versus Small Warships.
One argument that, has been made in
favor of building a comparatively large
number of small warships rather than a
smaller number of large vessels, with
largo crews, is that the smaller ones afford
the greater number of independent com-
mands and opportunities of training for
emanoand. Between 1872 and 1888, 76 sea-
going fighting ships were launched for the
British navy, varying in displacement be-
tween 430 and 2,000 tons, and the number
of men and officers in these ships ranged
from 59 in the snaadlest to 220 in the las-
gest These ships wore to be found all
over the world. Admirals, captains and
leading officers of today were all trained
in them, and splendidly trained. These
ships, however, have been displaced dur-
ing recent years by larger vessels, with
larger crews, makieg, for each command,
larger claims on naval estimates and on
the reserve of men. Some of the foremost
authorities now lean to the opinion that
too much trust is placed in big ships and
gues and too little in the skill, enterprise
and valor which may be had in the three -
ton and naanag,ement of a ship of moder-
ate size. To xnultiply such smaller ships
is to multiply the cbanoes of getting good
onen in command. Piling up armor and
guns condemns many such men to sub-
ordination to their inferiors.-Cassier's
