Notwithstanding most of the shells from the ships fell short, enough were dropped into the doomed city by the ships and army to illustrate the horrible brutalities of war. Many of the finest buildings in Santiago are now but masses of ruins Indeed, the slaughter of innocent people and starving soldiers, and the de- vastation to property were so sickening that General Shafter again begged the Spanish military governor to surrender before the city was entirely de- stroyed.

For weeks post fleg raisings have been frequent in this city, and during the last two or three days flags have been going up in every direction so fast that it has been impossible to keep count of them. This demonstration of devotion to the government and love for its flag has come spontaneously from the hearts of our people. The beauty and music of Union sentiment pervade the community, filling the hearts of old and young alike. THE EVE) |G NEWSPAPER. The Boston (Mass.) Transcript presents the following argument in favor of the evening newspaper as an advertising medium :— ‘The valueof the evening news- paper is not exhausted when it bas given the news of the hour, or has helped the business men over the tedium of travel from his office to bis home. Copies are seldom found littering the seats of steam or electric cars, a3 it is taken to the household for perusal by the whole family, Of course, the evening is the time when it can be most thoroughly read and discussed. Moreover, so rapid has become every medium of intelli- gence from world’s end to world’s end, that the evening paper is more favorably circumstanced than its morning contemporaries for keeping pace with the genuine news of each day. The faculties for extracting the bestessence of the world's history for the day, and the world’s thought upon passing events, have been brought to such a high state of de- velopment that itis enabled to keep even pace with daily events, furnish- ing a brief resume of such morning news as may have been expanded by other sheets beyond real value and keeping the record clear and un- broken.
