Removal of the Mines?Prelimi?
nary arrangements for the removal ol
the submarine mines iu tbe Potomac
river were be^un on Saturday, and in
a few days the actual work of takine.
them up will be commenced. In the
meantime it is necessary to prepare
boats for the work, to select a place to
which the mines can be removed and
stored, and numerous other details.
The work of removing the mines is in
charge of the Engineer Department of
the War Department. Col. Allen, in
charge of that branch here, says that
the mine? in the Potomac will be
taken up early this week, perhaps Tues?
day. It was decided by the War De?
partment to take up and preserve them,
as they may be needed again in the
near future. In tbe meantime vessels
are permitted to pass through the
mined districts at all hours without re?
strictions, so long as they can find the
buoyed chaunel. Any deviation from
the narrow path indicated by the buoys
however, is likely- to send them to de?
struction, and they take the chances at
their own risk.
Miss robinson.?Tee Baltimore
American of yesterday says: "The por?
trait on the society page tc-day is that
of Miss Josephine V. Robinson. Miss
Robinson has been selected as a maid
of honor, representing tbe E;ghth dis?
trict of Virginia, in the next annual con?
vention this week of the Confederate
Society at Atlanta, Ga. Miss Robinson
lives in Alexandria, Va, being the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John P. Rob?
inson. Her beauty of face and form
are only exceeded by a sweet disposi?
tion and a winsome nature, tbat causes
even those not of an opinion tbnt she is
the prettiest girl in town to call her a
lovely girl, intellectual and well-equip?
ped in every way to fu'lill all those
things of a social nature that may be
exacted of her at Atlanta aud lie before
her in after life."
Miss Robinson is now on her way to
Atlanta where her beauty, grace and
wit will doubtless win her new laurels.
Yesterday was another hot Sun
lay. and many people kept within
doors in consequence. The mercury in
the thermometer forged its way beyond
the ninety mark and the excessive hu?
midity rendered man and beast uncom?
fortable. There was more than an
average of strangers in the city not?
withstanding, and numbers of soldiers
speut most of the day here. The
churches had slim congregations, es?
pecially at tbe night services. Between
nine aud ten o'clock at night the
heavens became sg'ow with lightning
and the rumbling t hunder gave promise
of a welcome shower. There was,
however, oulv a slieht sprinkle?not
enough to lay'the dust?and after the
subsidence of a refreshing breeze the
^titling atmosphere resumed its sway
aud the uight throughout was sultry.

Assaulted by Strangers.?Herbert
and Arthur Pudlips, two ycuug white
men living on south Fairfax street,
were beset and badly beaten by three
s'rangers about 5 o'clock Saturday af?
ternoon. The assailed parties were ly
inc under a tree*, near the intersection
of Franklin and Royal streets, where
they were approached by the three
men, and, they claim, without provoca?
tion, were unmercifully assaulted. One .
of the Phillips boys ri csived a severe i
wound near the left eye, and bis broth?
er was badly beaten ou his head. The
police were notified but wh.-n they
reached the scene the strangers had
vanished. They are supposed to be
Washingtonians, and it i3 presumed
they boarded a north bound train at
Washington or Payne streets. Tre
fit;bt occasioned considerable excite?
ment on south Royal street and a larce
crowd gathered. A younc man named
Charles Quayle followed the assailants
some distance with the hope of meeting
an officer and having the straDgers ar- J
rested, but be having but one leg could '
not keep up with them and they soon
ran beyond his ranee of vision.

THE SPANI8H PRISONERS.
Admiral Cervera, the recent com?
mander of the Spanish eqnadron which
was destroyed off Santiago, and about
40 Spanish officers were taken to An?
napolis1, Md., Saturday, and now are
prisoners of war within the precincts
of the United States naval academy.
The officers were put on parole and
have the liberty of the grounds and
city. Admiral Cervera and eight or
ten of his officers attended mass yes?
terday at St. Mary's Catholic Church.
In the brief sermon that followed the
mass the preacher made only a slight
reference to the "strangers within our
gates," asking for them the comforts of
reliuion and thp prayers of his parish?
ioners. At this all the visitors bowed
their beads reverently. Capt. Eulate,
of the Vizcaya, is the only one of the
officers who has thus far refused to
sign the parole pledge. His reason
for it is that Admiral Cervera was
only required to give a verbal promise
and that his (Eulate'?) rank entitles
him to the same privilege. The au?
thorities have no doubt that the matter
will be amicably arranged and that the
scruples of the gallant officer may be
overcome.
Annapolis, Md., July 15?The
Spanish prisoners confined at the Naval
Academy were in the city to-day mak?
ing purchases of clothing and other
articles. Admiral Cervera was among
those who visited the city and was ap?
parently interested in what he saw.
They are permitted to be auayfrrm
the Naval Academy from S p. m., until
sundowu. They are not allowed to
leave the city limits.

On account of some contemplated alterations to make room
for an enlarged carpet room and a great carpet sale in Sep?
tember, in which we propose to give three leading features?
quality, quantity and?last but not least?lowest prices ever
made for fine goods.
A Silk
We want every fancy silk and silk waist length to go.
Some fine Foulard silks, were 75c and 87c, sale price 50c
Some nice fancies, were 65c, sale price 50c. $1.50 silk waists
marked down to $1 and $1.15. $1.25 silk waists down to S5C
and$i. 85c silk waists marked down to 60c $1 silk waist
lengths marked down to 75c per yard. These goods are all
new and very desirable, but we need the room.
A Great Clean lip Sale of Dress Goods.
Early in the spring we put a large line of 50c goods on our
25c counter, and goods from 50c to 75c on our 39c counter.
They met with ready appreciation and are nearly closed out.
We want every piece of them to go so we put the prices now
to 20 and 25c
Our fihe 15c Madras and Ginghams are now all \ 2l/zc.
A large range of new wash goods from 5c to i2J/?c are
opening up during' this week.
Some special values in 19c fancy ribbons
New table linen at 50c, 60c and 75c.
When we opened up our rug sale two weeks ago we
knew it was not rug season, but the values made it so, and we
have made large inroads into the lot. On many of these
goods no duplicates are obtainable. So buy now. Large
houses in New York are asking for the same goods nearly
twenty-five per cent, advance over our prices.
Special prices to close out odd pieces of Matting during
June.
