Washington. Oct. 1'J. -Noaariniiccd
lie felt that horiom unPic:iUol,s )U
tweuu this uvoniinuut aiin Spj will
grow out of the liberation, of am;s Cls
neros from the Spanish dungeon at
Havana by the reporter for a New
York newspaper. There Is notiiiug in
the existing treaties under widen shu
can be extradited. In an excess of
friondlined-. for a foreign nation the
president, in the discretion vested in
him as chief executive of tlie republic,
might turn her bad: into the hands of
the Spanish authorities if tin urgent
demand were to be madj upon him.
For President iMcivinley to take such
action would be to arouse the American
people into a high state of excitement
and, with a knowledge that such would
be the ease, it is extremely doubtful
whether the Spanish government
would insist upon such a course. It
would be useless to deny that the in
cident has caused great excitement in
the state department, where it was
discussed yesterday to the exclusion of
almost everything else. The opinion
is there, however, that nothing serious
will come of the incident and that the
Spanish government will not attempt
any grand-stand play looking to the
return of the escaped prisoner, ller
status to-day Is that of a political ref
ugee, and as for her liberators, noth
ing whatever can be done with them.
A trio of daring young Americans un
dertook her rescue from prison, and
succeeded in their most audacious en
terprise. At the risk of their lives
they effected her escape from a Span
ish prison and have brought the young
girl in safety to this country.
Tin: TJtKASUKEK MAKKS HIS IlKI'OltT.
Washington', Oct. IS. The annual
report of the treasurer of the United
States will show that on June .'10, 181)15,
the total available assets of the treas
ury were S8r5,(18fi,:i'2l, and on June 150,
1897, they had increased to S87l,7(54,:57".
Of these sums S;iOS,:i."it,418 was avail
able on June HO, ISMS, and S28:i,S05,424
on June .'50, 1SU7, for the strictly fiscal
operations of the government. On
June SO, 1811(5, S."47,330,73. and on .June
30, 1807, S5l,4(8,.rj3 was held on deposit
against outstanding certificates and
treasury notes. In addition to the net
ordinary revenues, the treasurer re
ceived 815,448,970 In deposits for the re
tirement of national bank notes, and
3,200 in refunding certificates for con
version into bonds, so that the total
income available for the fiscal opera
tions of the year was S3I53, 173,925. As
against this there was disbursed be
sides the ordinary expenditures the
sum of 811,378,502 on account of bonds
and fractional currency, and the
further sum of 811,092,355 in the re
tirement of national bank notes, mak
ing a total of S:SSS,215,017. The net
loss of available cash arising from
these operations therefore, was S25,
071,091. In the issue of paper cur
rency, the operations of the year, which
amount to 374, 818,000, were exceeded
in only one year 1S92 and then only
by a narrow margin. The redemp
tions, amounting to 8330.710,020, were
also relatively higher. The presenta
tion of national bank notes for redemp
tion increased to such proportions sis
to overtax the capacity of the force
employed in counting and assorting,
and required considerable advances to
be made out of. the general funds of
the treasury. Uy an increase of the
force, however, the arrearage of work
was brought up before the close of the
year.
A SOLDIER'S PUNISHMENT.
I'liviito Iliiinmomi Tied by tho 1'Vct. and
I'roddcil with it -word liy Ills Captain.

insensible soldier with his sword,
drawing blood at every thrust. A deep
furrow marked by blood was left whore

The enlisted men who witnessed the
barbarity were In a state bordering on
mutiny, and dispersed only when told
by their non-commissioned ollicers that

THE LAST OF COBB'S ISLAND.
The Son Hum Nearly DcNtroycil n lit
1 overt ItcNiirt on the Yliulnln Count.
Slowly but fiurely the sen Is sweeping
Cobb's island from the map of Virginia.
Only a pitiful little sand spit remains,
with a few straggling houses fighting
with the fickle sand. Uncle Nathan
Cobb, the sturdy noble lionmn of the
beach, has moved his last outhouse oil',
and only goes down every day or so to
look for his heart that he has lost soine
w here on that beautiful bench, and then
comes wnnderjng bnck with the tide,
glancing over 1,'ts shoulder through eyes
that are wet with the dew of a great
love.
They had the sale of all that is left of
the hotel property down at the landing
a few days ago and they sold for a trifle
to white and black the beds that have
brought sleep to thousands of this old
world's tired travelers who from far-oil
steaming cities have come to its shin
ing shores to breathe the sweet breath
of the sea and feel the pulse of Its
mighty tides. Uncle Nathan only
stopped a moment at the sale as he eanie
up the ereek from his day's pilgrimage
to the island. As his eye caught the
sight of the auctioneer crying olf a piece
of furniture and the joking jostling
crowd he turned and said, with a voice
full of pathos: "Well, it looks like the
old island's gone this time. We can
look on and long and hope, but the old
ocean is unconquerable. She has her
way. Ah! man, but it's hard forme."
His eyes filled with tears and he pushed
his little boat on up the creek to get
away from the sound of the auction
eer's voice.
Uncle Nathan is not alone in his
great sorrow. The hearts of thousands
who love nature and who with him have
felt the thrill of her close touch on
those white sands and beautiful waters
mourn their great loss also. They will
dream of its cool breezes, it.s solemn
marshes, its sands, its tides, its birds
and fish, and wake in the world's
fevered life with a sigh and tears at the
realization of their loss. The earth is
poorer for the ruin of that bit of sand.

DEEP HOLES IN THE OCEAN.
They Are .Not Found In the Center
Hut AltvuyH onr I.iuid.
The deepest spots so far sounded in
the ocean were found a year or two ago
by the surveying ship Penguin while re
turning from the Tonga group to New
Zealand. In three places a deptli ex
ceeding 5,000 fathoms was found. Till
these soundings were made the deepest
water found was to the northenst of
Japan, where in 1874 the United States
steamer Tuscarora obtained a cast of
4,(555 fathoms.
The Penguin's soundings are 5,022,
5,147 and 5.155 fathoms. The increase
is therefore 500 fathoms, or 3,000 feet.
The soundings are separated from
one another by water much less deep,
and the holes may not be connected.
The distance from the two extreme
soundings is 450 miles. Specimens of
thebottom were recovered from the two
deeper soundings, and prove to be the
usual red clay found in all the deepest
parts of the ocean.
These soundings afford additional
evidence of the observed fact that the
deepest holes are not in the centers of
the ocean, but are near land, as two of
them tire within 100 miles of islands of
the Ivermaudee group, and the other
not far from a shoal.
Doubtless deeper depressions in the
bed of the sea are yet to be found, but
the fact that this sounding of 30,930
feet shows that the ocean contains de
pressions below the surface greafT
than the elevation of the highest
known mountains is worthy of record.
