(Tinnol Shatter's army. by its victories in gffry engagement that any portion of it bw h«d wtife the 9pwina?ds shine ite landing it* Cot*, is demonstrating ta the world whet we knew aii the time: that the Araerinto soldier io no whit behind the American sailor hi fighting qualities, and as a fighter the American sailor has never been surpassed. Shatter has driven the enemy into thwnaaitt fortifications surrounding Santiago, and if is not interfered with from Washington will soon capture the town by «**«ttlt. For the first time during the war we have laid a considerable number of killed and wounded, but every man who volunteers to fight must take bis chances. It is claimed br friends of the adminis (ration that Shatter is being allowed to conduct the campaign against Santiago in his own way, without orders from Washington, but there have been several things

mid and done by members of the administration which have been sufficient to cause a doubt of that claim to be entertained, and if it turns out that Shatter waits for the reinforcements that hare been eeut, and are to be sent him before attacking tbe main, fortifications at Santiago, it will be rery safe to wager that the will be the result of Washington orders. For some mysterious reason the administration has become alarmed lest the garrison at Santiago should prove strong enough to defeat an attack by Shafter, and members of it hare publicly expressed tbe hope that he would pot make a general attack until the reinforcements reached him. This feeling was so strong that arrangements were all completed to send Getters] Miice to Tampa for the purfaase of taking about 15,000 troop* to Santiago, but for some equally mysterious reason Mike did m>t go. Some sav that Miiee feared he would be charged with trying to piMter glory that properly belonged to Shatter, and persuaded the administration to change its plans—not a difficult task, in view of its habit of making changes from day to day. Such a hubbub has been raised among the republicans of the llou9c by the manner in which that alleged currency reform bill was reported to the House from the committee on banking and currency—trickery it openly charged by some members of the committee— tliat it has been found necessary to recall the bill from the calendar, in order that radical changes may be made in tbe wording of the report and of the bill. Many of the republicans of the House were .unwilling to be so strongly committed to the perpetuation of the single gold standard as this bill and report them, on the ere of a congressional campaign. Some of them •ay, with a wink, that after the election the bill can be taken up and ppssed without danger. The announcement that ex-Senator Blackburn of Kentucky, is to be a brigadier general in the volunteer army was a positive pleasure to many persons, for few, if any, ever made more warm friends during their long service in Congress than Blackbum did.

The Senate committee on claim* nas begun the investigation directed by resolution of the Senate as to the payment to a lobbyist of a large percentage of the $288,000 recently paid to the Southern Methodist book concern, by act of Congress, for war damages to its property at Nashville, Tenn. The investigation was dead easy, as Mr. Barbee, agent of the book concern, told the committee that 35 per cent of the money received had been paid to Mr. Stahlman, who bad been the attorney at Washington of the book concern; and he added that he considered the employment of an attorney to aid in pushing the settlement of the oid claim was a matter that concerned only the book concern, and that he had not at any 1 time considered himself under any obligations to inform Senator* or others of the nature of the contract made with the attorney. Mr. Stahlman, the attorney, told the committee that he had received the pay for his services, and that be did not mention the nature of his contract while the matter was pending in Congress, because to have done so would liave been to prejudice the claim, and to prevent its being voted upon its merits. Those two witnesses appear to have told the committee everything it was directed to hod out. There is some curiosity to know whether the comin it tee will recommend any action, and if so, what. If it be a crime to employ an' attorney to lobby a claim through Cong re** about every claimant who has had or now has claims before that body has been or is guilty. It will be eeeo this week whether the thirty-odd Senators who are opposed to the annexation of Hawaii can succeed in preventing Lite fifty-odd senators who favor annexation getting the annexation resolution to a vote. The screws are being put on by the majority. Some of the opponents of annexation frankly admit that they will not aid in filibustering to prevent a vote, but others still say that they will resort to any sort of tactics to stave off a vote. But-ting-vone’s head against a brick wall is neither please ut uor profitable, and the chances are that the opposition will gracefully throw up the sponge and allow the resolution to be adopted without attempting a lengthy filibuster, after they have all had their say against annexation. Tried and Trie. Thousands have tried Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin for constipation, indigestion and sick headache and have found it true to the1blaim made for it, rix: that it is the best remedy now before the good people for the relief of stomach troubles.
