Events are beginning to move more rapidly at the seat of war, and we are inclined to think that the end is not faroff. The entire force under General Shafter landed in the Santiago province on the 23rd, considerable fighting has since taken place, and it is possible that the cityâ€"the defences of which were said to be very weakâ€"has been cap- tured by this time. In an engagement last Friday over twenty of Roosevelt's “ Rough Riders ” were killed and sev- eral wounded, but the Spanish loss was much heavier. It was said in Tues- day’s report that from 10,000 to 15,000 more men would embark for Santiago on Thursday and 4,000 troops were to leave San Francisco for the Philippines early in the week. On Monday last the water supply of the city of. Santiago was cut off, leaving the inhabitants to depend upon what was in their cisterns, and some of the artillery from the ships has since been brought up. A. strong squadron under Commodore Watson is to sail in a few days to bombard forti- fied places on the Spanish coast, and if ; this had been done some time ago it would probably have put an end to the war. _â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"_ Klondike Gold. An exchange says :- “The gold output of the Klondike for the season is estimated at 820,000,- 000,which is divided among the follow- ing creeks and tributaries: Bonanza $7,000,000, Eldorado 810,000.000, l’unker 82,500,000, Dominion $250,- 000, Sulphur $150,000. The estimate is said to have a solid basis in facts, and not to be rose-colored." What a good thing McKenzie 8.: Mann at 01 would have hadâ€"wouldn‘t they ?â€"â€"if the Senate had not blocked the attempt to give them a big piece of the Klondike in exchange for a tram- way. Those who favored the “deal” always eoutended that there was prob ably only a little gold here and there and that the railway men mi_'ht lose by the bargain ; but Mr. Ogilvie insist- ed that the Klondike was " the richest gold bearingr territory upon earth.” and the above figures tend to prove that he was right. But we shall now probably be told that the season's output cost to extract a few hundred thousand dollars more than it was worth. ‘Do Not Gush.

A little while ago the Americans were the reverse of complimentary to England, and the sudden change in their tune is due rather to the exigencies of their position than to a change of heart ; but it is to be hoped that they will never again become as virulent as they were “ before do web " with Spain. The Telegram is right. Canadians can be friendly with the Yankees without going to play in their back yard. Presentation. On Monday afternoon, the last day of school, the pupils in Mr. Maybee's room presented their teacher with a gold-headed cane and an address. Mr. Maybee, who for the last five years has been principal of the F enelon Falls public school, is giving up teaching after a very brilliant career in the pro- ~fession. ‘ The following is the address, to which Mr. Maybee replied in a very feeling manner : Dear Mr. Muybce : Now that the time has arrived that our relation as teacher and pupils is to be severed, we would be thought- less and negligent of our duty were we to allow you to step out of your posi- tion as headmaster of this public school without showing you in some tangible way that all your painstaking efforts to advance us in the various branches of study; your patience with us in ways too numerous to mention here; and the great kindness you have always shown us, have been appreciated by us, per- haps more than you are aware of. ‘As teacher you have been pre- eminently successful, having passed a larger number of pupils in the same length of time than any previous teach- er; as master you have been kind and forbearing almost to a fault. Instead ’dclighted with Prof. Vonmm’s rendition of» of resorting to the old-time methods of discipline by physical force or corporal punishment â€"- which frequently only serves the purpose of avengiug wrathâ€" you have appealed to the intellectual, and treated us as responsible beings. Many times we have worried you, and no doubt grieved you by our conduct, and apparent indifference as to the im- portance of ourtime and studies. For such actions we now humbly apologize, assuring you that anything of that was due neither to disrCSpect nor to lackol interest, but to the infirmity of our youthful nature. We now beg to present you with this cane, which we ask you to kindly ao- ‘cept, simply as a token of our personal regard for you as a faithful teacher and a gentleman, and as a souvenir oi the years you have spent in this room and especially of the cennection with the classes of 1807-8.

Haying has commenced in this local- ity, and the crop ofit is heavy. Mr. Robert il'ewie got the thumb of his “left hand jammed at Mr. Brown's raising. Mr. Lewis Robe is making prepara- tions for building a barn to replace the one burnt on Good Friday last. Mr. W. Gillis will have his straws shed raised this week. Mr. John Lane, is doing the carpenter work. Mr. L. is a first class workman. Mr. John Brown had his straw barn raised last Saturday. It sits on a stone foundation built by Mr. Thomas Lane and Mr. Warren Hill, and these masons are now busy building a foundation tor Mr. James Pcwles’ new house, size ill by 34 feet. Mr. J. C. Parrish and a few assist- ants have been very busy lately with a concrete wall which he is building un- der his barn. It is a nice wall to look at, and we hope it may give good snti~=~ faction, and that the expectations re~ gar-ding it may be fully realized. Much sympathy is felt for M r. & Mrs. William l’owles in the loss they have recently sustained by the death of their daughter, M rs. Simon Cooper, who died ‘ rather unexpectedly on Tuesday, the let. Two children are left, a boy and a girl, scarcclv old enough to realize their irreparable loss.

Erom planting time until now there has- becn a good shower of rain every ll-w days, and we doubt whether the crops as a whole ever. looked better at this time of year than they do at present.
