But they have been indulging in so many tights and otherwise so misconducting themselves that the special omnibus service has been discontinued.

They are now riding iu the public trauicars, ami tueir oe-1 liavier is angelic. Several papers dealing with the Pennsylvania coal regions appear hi the Century. Heury Edward Hood, writing of "A Polyglot Community,'' i says: More than one-half the total i number of immigrants into the United States are coming from Austria-Hungary, IJaly, Poland aud Russia. While ofiicial statistics are not available, yet careful investigation leads to the belief that perhaps fifty or sixiy per cent, of arrivals from the countries mentioned have |iiad 110 regular occupation, while possibly thirty per ' ceut.may have been servants or labor- ; ers.

Since that time there lias been no improvement in the ' class of immigrants arriving at our! ports. Says the Americas (Ga.)

FLORIDA CAMPED UNDER BRIGADIER-GENE BARKING FOR CUBA. Aud during all the hours of encasement the American fleet, although shelled by ships and shore batteries, did not lose a single man. Six sailors were slightly wounded. This represented the sum of casualties to the fleet of Admiral Dewey, as none of his ships was injured. The Spanish loss was 300 killed and 400 wounded. Admiral Montijo's ships caught lire one by one and either sank in their I positions or were run ashore to save the lives of their remaining men. The battle of Manila began at daybreak, the Spanish fleet firing the first shot. During the preceding nigut Admiral Dewey j had taken his ships past Corregidor Island and through the mine fields without disaster. 1 ne challenge to battle was flung by the Reiua Christina. The Olvmpia replied, and immediately afterward the entire American fleet was in action. The Spanish ships did not hesitate in their Are and the batteries at Cavite : loosened their heavy guns. Soon after the opening of the engage- j ment the Spanish flagship took lire and 1 Admiral Montijo had to transfer his flag to j the lsla de Cuba. The cruiser Castilla also burst in flames j under the remarkable gunnery of the j American sailors. Besides engaging the Spanish ships. Admiral Dewey directed a hot lire against the batteries. This made it imperative that every shot should tell. This was a surprise to the fleet of Ad- | miral Montijo, the Spanish Commander-inChief. who thought himself secure under the guns of Manila and Cavite. Admiral Dewey's battle line was led by ! the flagship Olvmpia and the cruiser Ita- I leigh, the Baltimore, Boston. Concord and j 1'etret. ana me revenue mu r .uuluuuvu i following at a cable length.
