reports of the death of General Garcia.
They trake a mystery of it, saying it should
not be made known in the United States or
Cuba for reasons of state and give no de
tails except that he was shot. Spaniards
here who are officially connected with Gen.
Blanco believe the story.”
May Have Fell In Battle.
NEW YORK, July 20.—The last word di
rectly received by the Cuban Junto in this
city from Garcia was dated before San
tiago, July 11. It was a cable message, and
stated briefly that he was well and that the
progress of events was satisfactory. At
that time Garcia was to the west of San
tiago, guarding the approaches from ex
pected reinforcements to the city.
Horatio S. Rubens, counsel to the Junto,
when given the information contained in the
Evening Post’s dispatch, said this after
noon that news of Garcia's death had not
been received at the Junto, but that, at best,
the communication with the Cuban forces
in the field was irregular. ‘‘l am greatly
surprised. ’ he said, “but I do not find it
hard to credit the dispatch. During the last
assault on Santiago Garcia was in the west
with his command, with the special duty of
intercepting reinforcements and cutting off
the retreat of the Spanish soldiers. When
the city fell his duty there was at an end.
But, it appeals, the attack on Manzanillo
was tnen planned. Manzanillo lies to the
west, and, it is said. Shatter detailed Gar
cia’s command to cut off the reinforcements
•from there. Holguin lies near Manzanillo,
and was garrisoned by a considerable force,
as the American general must have known.
It is not unlikely that Garcia and his men
came in conflict with a body of Spanish
soldiery bound from Holguin for Man
zanillo.”
Gen. Garcia's Career.
Calixto Garcia was in his sixtieth year,
and was regarded by the Cuban insurgents
as one of their most intrepid soldiers. In
the ten years’ war his skill, bravery and
energy won him continual promotion until
he received a general's star. In action in
1874 Garcia was surrounded by Spanish
troops. Rather than surrender he shot
himself through the chin with suicidal in
tent. He recovered and was sent to Spain.
He was released in 1877, when the peace of
Zenjon was declared. Garcia at once set
out for New York and organized an expedi
tion to Cuba. He landed in Santiago de
Cuba, but was taken a prisoner a second
time. He eluded the vigilance of the prison
guards in Spain one night after a fifteen
years’ imprisonment, and fled to England.
Garcia was the promoter of the Hawkins
expedition which left New York in Janu
ary, 18!#), with three hundred men and a
large quantity of supplies and ammunition.
The vessel sunk. He next fitted out the
Bermuda, which was seized on the eve of
her departure, in February, 1896, by a
United States marshal and his deputies.
Garcia was arrested and released in J 2.500
bail. He at once made another start, and
landed in Cuba several days before the day
set for his trial in New York. For the last
two years he has been engaged in conduct
ing the campaign of the Cubans against
Spain in the province of Santiago de Cuba.
THE WAGE SCALE.
Increase in the One Mettled On by
Flint Gla** Workers.
• --
ZANESVILLE. 0., July 20.-The National
Flint-glass Workers’ Union was busy to
day hearing reports of the committees and
officers. These showed that the organiza
tion is harmonious in all branches and that
only sixty men are at present being paid
benefits because of being locked out. The
grievances of the finishers that machines
were taking the places of men were ad
justed. To-morrow the officers will be
elected and the place of the next meeting
decided. A canvas of the delegates to-night
discloses a sentiment favorable to the East
and It wouM not be surprising if some ex
treme Eastern city were selected. The old
officers will be elected with the exception
of the executive board and there is a large
number of candidates for membership on
the board. The wage scale as arranged pro
vides for substantial increase and this
will be presented to tho manufacturers in
side of a week.

Fraaee and Haiti Qnarrellng About
the Naughty Woman.
PORT-AU-PRINCE. Haiti, July 21—It is
rumored here that some friction is likely
to arise between France and the Haitian
republic. In spite of the remonstrances and
urgent demands of the French minister, the
Haitian government still refuses to abro
gate the recent decree of expulsion issued
against Mme. Hermance, a French subject,
who was expelled as a person dangerous to
public security shortly after her notorious
collision in the cathedral with Mme. Simon
Sum, wife of the President. The govern
ment is much, irritated by certain articles
damaging to Haiti that have recently ap
peared in the Matin, the Libre Parole, the
Autorite and other Parisian journals. At
tlie dinner given by the President at the
palace to-day to the members of the diplo
matic corps, the only foreign representative
absent was the French minister. The rela
tions between the two governments are evi
dently much strained.

HUNTING DOWN REBELS
CHINESE TROOPS NOW MAKING IT
W ARM FOR INSURGENTS.
*
Cities Taken by the Malcontents Re
captured—Mach Concern Over De
mands tor Concessions.
LONDON, July 21.—The Hong-Kong cor
respondent of the Dally Mail says the re
bellion In the province of Kwang-Si is be
ing rapidly suppressed. The imperial troops
are dispersing the rebels and recapturing
the cities they had seized.
The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Mail, telegraphing Wednesday, says: ‘A
slight Chinese outbreak occurred this morn
ing in the American settlement. The police
charged the mob and arrested five leaders.
It is reported that an arrangement has been
made with regard to the Ning-Po josshouse.
The French agree to abandon their scheme
for carrying a road through it in exchange
for an extension of the French concession.”
CHINESE RESTLESS.
Excited Over the Demand** of For-
for Concessions.
VANCOUVER, B. C., July 20.—Advices
from Hong-Kong by the steamer Empress of
India say: Dark reports come from all over
China. Everywhere the Chinese are becom
ing excited over the (Jemands for posts and
concessions. Central China particularly is
restless and serious rioting has taken place
at Ning-Po. Two rebellions have broken
out in Quansl and one in Launeho. The
governor of Quansi has sent soldiers to the
rebellious district. Troubles are heard of
In Manchuria. Some think that the author
ities are doing all they can to drive the
people into rebellion, or, as some say, into
the hands of Russia. Private letters speak
in strong language about the doings of the
Tsi-Li-Ti, a powerful sect, something like
the Lao-Hui. These people are gathering
in bands and defying the petty local au
thorities. They are strongly anti-foreign.
Reports are circulated that China intends
the opening up of Chan-Hai-Yuen, near
Canton, as a treaty port, to prevent Ger
many or any other power from getting it.
The island in question is better known as
St. Johns. It is situated to the southwest
of Macoa, between that colony and the new
French colony of Qnang-Chau.
As indemnity for the Shashi riot, Japan
claims from China tho right to establish
separate battlements at Y'uehow, Santu and
Foo-Chow, and demands also 106,000 taels.
Chin Quang Bok, a rebel chief of For
mosa, was enticed by Japan to surrender
under a false sense of security and barbar

When the Empress left Canton, July 7,
Prince Vladamir, of Russia, was expected
to arrive on the Russian war ship Russia,
from Vladivostock. He will proceed imme
diately to Tao to be received in audience
by the Emperor.
Official information has been received by
the Japanese government from the Corean
government to the effect that Musan-Pho
and Song-Jin-Phoe, in Corea, will soon be
opened as treaty ports. The Japanese gov
ernment will dispatch a commissioner to in
vestigate matters in connection with open
ing the ports. One of the native Chinese
papers says Germany, being dissatisfied
with Kiao-Chau as a naval station, and
fearing it will be injured by the proximity
of the English and Russian possessions at
Wei-Hafc-Wei, Port Arthur and Ta-I-ien-
Wan, has entered into an agreement with
Italy. It is proposed that Italy should take
over a strip of territory, 100 miles in length,
at Kiao-Chau bay, from Germany. The
proposal ’ having communicated to the
Tsung-Li-Y’amen, that body has appointed
a commissioner to proceed to Shan-Tung
and there determine what the boundaries
shall be between the German and Italian
possessions.
Rumor has it that the Russian minister
to China has demanded from the Chinese
government the privilege of passing through
Chi-Li and Kwansi provinces, and he is said
to have proposed to lend' troops to China
in order to Drevent British aggression. In
Shanghai it is reported that Russia also
intends to demand the lease of Kin-Chow,
in Liao-Tung.
A Peking telegram says England has ob
jected to the borrowing of funds from Rus
sia and France for the construction of a
railway between Peking and Han-Kow.
Two important features of a treaty just
concluded between Japan and Siam are the
retention by Japan in Siam of a consular
jurisdiction and the adoption of a stipula
tion for deciding by arbitration of a third
party of questions arising out of the inter
pretations of the provisions of the treaty
or any violation of the treaty. The last
named feature constitutes Japan’s first ac
ceptance of the principles of arbitration in
connection with any treaty.
Mr. Otan. president of the Yokohama Tea

pay to the members of the family of the re
gent of Lippe-Detmold the honors he con
sidered due, the fegent, who had vainly ap
pealed to the general in command, referred
the whole matter to Emperor William, who
s) nt him this reply: ‘My general had orders
to render to the regent what belongs to the
regent, nothing more. As for the rest, I ob

yourself to couch your letter.’ There seems
reason to believe that the story has some
foundation.”

A HOME FOR SCHLEY.
His Maryland Fellow-Citizens Talk of
Bnying Him One.
Baltimore American.
In his brief address to the great meeting
held in Cumberland to honor the work of
Commodore Schley the suggestion w r as made
by General Sprigg. the chairman of the
evening, that the tribute be a silver service
or a homestead. The idea is timely, and it
should be acted upon at once. The silver
service sounds well, but, under the circum
stances. it is out of the calculation. It is no
discredit to our hero to admit that he is not
a rich man. He has served his country mag
nificently on modest pay, that at best pro
vides little above living expenses. He is not
a person of affluence, although he has done
more for the government, more for the Na
tion, more for us all, than thousands of
persons who have got rich out of political
service and contracts. Schley has attained
glory, but he is far from wealth. And. al
though he won the greatest victory of mod
ern naval warfare, the lion's share of the
prize money will go to the officer who was
not in the fight at all.
Here, then. Is Maryland's opportunity. In
other wars it was the habit of grateful peo
ples to show their appreciation of their he
roes by presenting them witii mansions and
palaces. After our civil war several of the
high officers on both sides were given
homes by popular subscriptions. The prece
dent has ruled for centuries. It should not
fail now. To give Schley a home in Balti
more would be to show in the best, most
practical and most material way our grati
tude and our love. It is not a matter for
any one newspaper or any one city to take
up, but it should be a full, generous and
immediate movement, headed by the Gov
ernor of the State, and participated in by
every man, woman and child who can spare
a penny for so noble a purpose. We do not
doubt for an instant that the response to a
call properly started would more than sup
ply the means necessary for the end.
That the residence should be in Baltimore
will be agreed to by the State. It is the
metropolis of the South, to which the peo
ple of every county come, and it is the cen
tral point In all respects. A home for Schley
is the form our appreciation should take,
and it will not interfere in the slightest
with the sword which will be presented to
him by the State. The sword from the State
and the home from the people will be just
the thing.

OUR NEW CITY, SANTIAGO
CLEANING UP AFTER SPAIN WIL.L BE
A VERY SERIOUS JOB.
The British Have Shown In Jamaica
that Yellow Fever Can Be Kept
Down-Strong Defense*.
New York Sun.
-The old-time fortifications, with their
modern guns, that command the narrow
and tortuous channel leading into the har
bor of Santiago deserve special mention,
and can be made into splendid defenses.
The chief of them is El Morro. It occupies
a commanding site on the right as the
steamer enters the channel. While it is
very old it is very' strong. Spain all through
the West Indies has selected the strongest
strategic points and fortified them, as may
be seen at Havana and Santiago, at Fort
Augusta and Rock Fort, in Jamaica, at San
to Domingo and at San Juan, Porto Rico.
In the past these forts were equal to all
emergencies. To-day modern artillery has
the supremacy.
El Morro is an exception to this general
rule. That old two-terraced fort in part has
been hewn out of solid rock. It Is part and
parcel of a bold, rocky' headland. The ocean
washes its base. El Morro can be modern
ized and made a small Gibraltar. Its upper
sea battery, with some Krupp guns, is near
ly one hundred feet above sea level. Owing
to its elevation it has an all-around fire,
commanding the sea front for many miles
due east and west along the coast, as well
as all the land within sight. The lower bat
tery is specially constructed to command
the very narrow entrance to the harbor.
The entrance there measures only 580 feet
across. Opposite El Morro there is another
bold headland, surmounted by La Socapu,
another old-time fort. The guns of the low
er battery of El Morro face the entrance.
Short of blowing that headland of rock into
the sea, El Morro may be deemed almost
impregnable.
The guns of El Morro for the most part
are ancient, but many rapid-fire Hontoria
and Ordonez rifles have been added to them,
as well as the Krupp guns already re
ferred to.
La Socapa is an admirable vis-a-vis of the
old fortress type. Its elevation being less,
it has neither the natural strength nor the
range of El Morro. but it has a usefulness
all its own. It and the guns of Estrella
Point battery can rake any ship that may
pass the entrance. While El Morro and La
Socapa are specially designed to keep ships
out, the Estrella Point battery is specially
devised to deal with such ships as may have
forced an entrance. It is built of solid
masonry, the counterpart of Fort Augusta,
built by Spain in Jamaica over three cen
turies ago.
Cayo Smith, or Smith’s island, nearly op
posite Estrella Point, has been fortified. Be
yond Estrella battery, on a small eleva
tion, there is an old-time earthwork, admir
ably placed to attend to anything that
might have escaped the forts and battery.
Between the latter arid the city there are no
fortifications.
In times of peace the topmost wall of El
Morro is used as a semaphore station. It
and a series of hill stations extend to the
city, the distance between the two being
five miles. Owing to the narrow channel
one vessel only is allowed to enter or leave
at a time. Hence the signal stations. A
point near El Morro is the pilot station.
Os late frequent reference has been made
to Cayo Smith. It is a pretty island prac
tically under the lee of La Socapa. in times
of peace a picturesque spot dotted wdth
tropical villas. There the upper classes of
Santiago have their banos de! mar or sea
bathing. It is the local Coney island.
If the old-time city had been as well for
tified against diseases as the channel is
against enemies—what follows would be
superfluous—where nature has been so
bountiful only man seems vile. The health
fulness of any tropical city squares w'ith its
cleanliness and a due observation of its
sanitary laws, the purity of its drinking
W'ater. and other well-known essentials.
Santiago and Havana are hotbeds of dis
ease, and this is due almost entirely to a
negligence that should be deemed criminal.
The city of Santiago, the oldest in the West
Indies—dating back over three centuries—
built on a hillside, inclining toward the har
bor, with all the recognized elements in
favor of perfect drainage—has none. During
the rains nature does what she can to flush
the surface, but that is not enough where
the subsoil is saturated with the filth of
the city. Questions of public health seldom
have any serious attention at the hands of
the Spaniards or their descendants. *
Fieore amarilla—or yellow fever—is a
standing joke ih the theaters of Havana.
W hen it kills a native the dead man’s
friends speak of it as tifoida, when it kills
a Spaniard fieore amarilla. To the ordinary
Cuban, the death of Spaniards by yellow
fever is a cause of rejoicing.
Yellow fever has been endemic in Cuba
for over one hundred years. The public
records show it yearly for over 100 consecu
tive years. Dr. Arbano Guimera has devoted
years of study and research to its history.
In all that time Spain has taken no known
measure to stamp out so dire a foe to her
own children. The vast public presidio, or
prison, at Santiago has no outlet for drain
age. At night, after the people are in bed
its accumulated filth is allowed to run down
a public street to the sea. The military
hospital, situated on an elevation in the
upper and iback part of the city, near
Concha avenue, is a vast establishment. It
occupies a large space. Within the in
closure there is a vast cesspool with no out
let. It poisons the air and infects the soil.
As one would suspect, yellow fever is a
constant quantity when susceptible material
offers.
While Spain has lost tens of thousands of
soldiers and sailors in Cuba from pre\ ‘'St
able disease, that has taught her no less*;''.
The w'icked loss of life and its cost to hei
as a nation has not been weighed. In times
of peace her soldiers have died in thou
sands; in times of war in tens of thou
sands. The ten years’ war—lß6B to 1878—cost
her 200,000 men, the flower of the Spanish
army, of whom 191.000 died in hospital—
largely of climatic disease—while less than
10.000 fell in battle or died of wounds re
ceived in action.
Spain’s neglect of sanitation in Santiago
de Cuba is duplicated in San Juan de Puerto
Rico. Her methods seem almost incredible.
The main military and naval hospital in
Havana has 1,5)3 beds. It is a substantially
built place, near the end of the foul and
pestilent harbor of Havana. All patients are
sent to it from the army and ships. Yellow
fever patients are not Isolated. For many
years the building has been a center for dis
tributing the poison of yellow- fever. That
hospital is the medical storehouse for the
island system of hospitals. All supplies, in
cluding bedding, are sent from it. Yellow
fever may be found at some port or town all
the year around.
In IS7S that Cuban fever reached New Or
leans. costing thousands of lives and a mon
ey loss estimated at over $2-X),000,GOO. The
ideal Holt maritime quarantine system has
enabled New Orleans to shut it ou: since.
England had her experience with Jamaica
after Spain w-as forced to abandon it. Eng
land’s sailors and troopers died there in
thousands. It was a pest hole. Pure water
was Introduced, the soldiers and sailors
were instructed and watched, unhealthy
sea-level camps were abandoned, the death
rate fell from 121 per I.COO to 11.13, or less
than half the death rate of New York, and
this was due wholly to sanitary measures,
camps in the mountains, and the introduc
tion of black regiments (West Indian ne
groes). officered by white men. Had Spain
kept abreast with England, Chiba to-day
would be healthy and fairly safe for Euro
peans and Americans.
PROF. HAILMANN’S NEW PLACE*
Ha* Accepted the Sjiperlnteitdeney of
the Dayton, 0., Schools.
Washington Post.
Prof. William N. Hailmann. until recently
superintendent of Indian schools, has been
tendered the position of superintendent of
the public schools of Dayton, 0., and has
accepted the position. Professor Hailmann
is at present iri Colorado, whither he went
at the request of his successor in the gov
ernment service, to further the work at the
Indian institute there which was estab
lished by himself. He will return in a few
days to his home at Cleveland Park, in this
city-, and will not assume his new duties in
Dayton until the fall.
Professor Hailmann Is one of the best
known educators In the country-, and had
been connected with the Interior Depart
ment sine* the beginning of President Cleve
land's second administration. He was ap
pointed at the request of Dr. W. T. Harris,
superintendent of education, and his work
In behalf of the red man has been of the
highest order. It was the aim of those who
secured the position for Professor Hailmann
to have it taken out of the political arena,
but in this they failed, and the latter part
of last month a successor was named to
Superintendent Hailmann In the person of
Miss Eatelle Reel, one of Wyoming’s lead
ing woman suffragists. Miss Reel was also
state superintendent of public Instruction,
and was state director In the National Edu
cational Association which recently met in
this city.
Dr. Hailmann, prior to his advent in
Washington, was superintendent of the pub
lic schools of Uaporte, Ind. He had pre
viously been connected with the schools of
his native State. Kentucky, and also with
those of Michigan and Minnesota. He
brought to the work of educating the In
dians an invaluable experience, and his suc
cess is evidenced by the great improvement
of the branch of the service presided over
by him. Dr. Hailmann was recently unani
mously re-elected president of the depart
ment of elementary education during the
convention of the National Educational As
sociation in this city. A peculiar fact in
connection with Professor Hailmann’s ap
pointment is the fact that it came unso
licited. he having had no correspondence
regarding the matter. He had, however,
been considering offers from Massachusetts
and other States.
THE CLIMATE OF Cl BA.
Timely Meteorological Report for
that Country and the Philippines.
New York Post.
With remarkable timeliness comes a gov
ernment publication from the Weather Bu
reau relating to the climate of Cuba, with a
note also upon the weather of Manila. Most
of the precise meteorological information
upon Cuba available is summarized in this
pamphlet. An interesting comparison is
made between the average summer temper
ature of Havana and Washington, showing
eighty-two degrees for the former and but
seventy-five degrees for the latter, while the
average amount of rainfall in the Cuban
city is seven incnes more than at our capi
tal. Though systematic meteorological ob
servations seem to have been begun at Ha
vana about 1850, the first regularly pub
lished observations, instituted at Helen Col
lege, Havana, in 1859, have been continued
to the present time in annual volumes. For
other Cuban localities facts are very scan
ty, fragmentary observations only having
been made at Übajay (242 feet above the
sea), at Matanzas, the San Fernando mines,
Santiago de Cuba and Trinidad de Cuba.
The extreme length of the island is about
750 miles, with an average width of one
tenth that amount, the country gently un
dulating, not unlike England, though its
highest mountain, Pico de Tarquino, rises
7.650 feet, and a lesser ridge practically di
vides the island into two watersheds, whose
rivors flow north and south. Variations in
temperature and rainfall are caused largely
by differences in altitude and position, with
reference to the prevailing winds, which
blow’ for the most part from the east, the
“northeast” trades being especially regular
and uniform. The warmest month is July.
At Santiago the temperature is higher than
on the northern and western coasts. In
Havana sudden changes are frequent, one
record showing for three hours a drop from
eighty-nine degrees to seventy-four degrees.
The warmest hours are between noon and
2 o’clock. Absolute humidity is very great,
while the average rainfall is about fifty-two
inches for the year, the rainy season ex
tending. as in other tropical countries, from
May to October, and the greatest rainfall
occurring in the months of October and
June. About one day out of three in the
summer is rainy at Havana, showing heavy
downpours of short duration, but with al
most no clouds except during the showers.
The wind velocity is about eight and a half
miles hourly in winter, six and a half in
summer, and somewhat more in the north
ern than in the southern coast. Little dam
age is said to result from the frequent
thunderstorms, while tropical hurricanes,
usually occurring once or twice in a sum
mer, are most liable in August, September
and October.
Although regular observations have been
made and published for many years at the
Observatorio Meteorologico de Manila (rain
fall for thirty-two years and other phe
nomena for seventeen), general information
upon climatic conditions are meager. The
average temperature is 80 degrees F.: April,
May and June are the hottest months. May
showing 84 degrees ns an average and some
times rising to 100 degrees. September, the
most humid month, shows 85 per cent, of
moisture; April, the driest of all. but 70 per
cent. The rainy season, as in Cuba, extends
from June to October, the largest average
fall occurring in September. Curious varia
tions in amount are recorded, one year
about 121 inches, another but 35 inches. De
spite the dispassionate statements of con
cise scientific publications, imagination is
still left much freedom in portraying the
climatic conditions under which are now
living so many unaccustomed Americans.
KNOWS SAMPSON AND SCIILEY.
A. Leighton Howe, Who Studied Under
Both at Annapolis, Tells of Them.
Kansas City Star.
“You ask me to compare Sampson and
Schley and I hardly know how to begin,
because T think so highly of both, and yet
the two men are entirely different.”
A. Leighton Howe, of the Pittsburg &
Gulf Railway, is a graduate of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, and while there he
had ample opportunity to study the two
commodores ahout whom the entire Nation
is now gossiping. They were instructors at
the school and Mr. Howe's diploma, which
gives him the rank of midshipman, bears
the signatures of Schley and Sampson.
“Yes.” he continued. "I know them very
w’ell and especially Admiral Sampson, and
1 want to say right at the beginning that I
am sure the reports about the strained re
lations between them are grossly exagger
ated. That Sampson is acting in a manner
which some of the correspondents say he is.
I know cannot be true. He is too big and
brave a man and there is absolutely noth
ing narrow about him. I kr.ow that when his
report is made all the facts will be there
and told in a simple, straightforward man
ner, without the slightest attempt at color
ing. Credit will be given where it is due.
“Now. about the two men. Both are of
unquestioned bravery. Sampson is cool and
collected. Schley is aggressive, with a good
deal of the dare devil spirit in him. Both
are sticklers for discipline, although Samp
son is much more the reserved of the two.”
“Was it on account of favoritism that
Sampson w r as made acting rear admiral
over Schley, his senior officer?”
“Positively no. In my opinion Sampson
was given that station because the Naval
Department considered him the most com
petent officer in the service. He is looked
upon as the best informed man in the navy.
He is considered authority on ordnance and
torpedoes. In fact, he was instructor in
these bra-nches.
“Now as to Schley,” went on Mr. Howe,
“he is looked upon as the best Spanish and
French scholar in the navy. His department
at the academy was modern languages. I
remember one thing in particular about him
and that is his long legs. He is not notice
ably tall, but his legs are of wondrous
length and he can run like a deer.
“In Hie navy they never tire of telling
about Schley in Korea. During the trouble
there we sent a landing party ashore in
charge of Schley. The boat had no more
than reached the shore when out jumped
the marines to make a dash for the para
pets possibly half a mile away. In the lead
was Schley. In a jiffy he was far ahead of
everybody, his legs working vigorously.
And when the embankments were reached
he had practically distanced all the others.
I mention this not so much to call attention
to the old man's legs as to illustrate his
dash and absolute fearlessness-.
“No one is going to take away any of
Schley’s glory in the destruction of Oer
vera’s fleet and I am positive that Sampson
will be the very last man to ever think of
such a thing.”
Gift of Wsir to Be Kept.
New’ York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
There is no more cautious or conservative
newspaper in this country than the recog
nized financial and commericial authority,
the Journal of Commerce, of this city, and
to-day it speaks with most serious import
of this Philippine question. It believes that
it expresses the best, the most serious pub
lic opinion when it says that it is absolutely
essential that, in view’ of the purpose of
some of the other great commercial powers
to exclude, so far as possible, America and
England from the trade which the vast
Asiatic population offers that the United
States reserve for itself unobstructed ac
cess to the Celestial Empire.
“For such purposes of protection it is in
dispensable that we be equipped with a
naval base in the Pacific. That necessity is
opportunely met by our control of the Phil
ippine islands, and we are bound to see to
it that this vitally needed acquisition is not
allowed to slip from our hands. So large an
extent of territory may not be needful for
defensive purposes, but we cannot attempt
to divide it without inviting serious interna
tional quarrels. We therefore must hold the
whole, sharing, when and so far as it may
be safely done, political power with the in
habitants. If anybody chooses to call this
colonizing or imperialism they may be safe
ly allowed all they can make by such a per
version of terms.”
That, it is believed, expresses the ma
jority opinion as it has finally been formu
lated among thinking and conservative men
here, and it is an opinion which, it is be
lieved. the administration must take Into
consideration when it comes to the negotia
tion of the treaty of peace.
On Board the Chinu.
Honolulu Letter In New York Post.
Among the interesting things to study on
board this transport is the development of
the volunteer. The volunteer officer has it
all to learn; his ignorance, however, is re
deemed by the splondid eagerness with
which he goes at his work. He finds it
especially difficult to determine what his po
sition should be toward his private. I over
heard a private say to his officer, who spoke
to him sharply, "That is no way to talk to
a man.” The officer did not know exactly
what to answer. During the first few days
it was not uncommon to see volunteer offi
cers and their men walking the deck arm
In arm, or slapping each other on the back.
On the other hand, the regular officer is al
ways on friendly, but never on familiar,
terms with his men.
The difficulty of the volunteer officer is
aggravated by the presence of a number of
newspaper men. who have*eniisted und con
tinue to work for their papers, which in this
way save the expense of sending out corre
spondents. Some of these newspaper pri
vates do not take kindly to hard work, and
do not understand the necessslty of strict
discipline. They grumble, and will, un
doubtedly, use the prtss to relieve their feel
ings. Many of the officers have political as
pirations and do not wdsh to become un
popular at home. The newspaper private Is
bound to prove a danger to discipline. He
is not tolerated in any other army, and he
should be suppressed in ours.
Dollars for Sale.
Philadelphia Record.
A firm in Kansas City has on hand a
small supply of silver dollars which can be
obtained on reasonable terms. The firm re
cently filled an order of a mine owner in
Mexico for a machine valued at $919. A
few days after shipping the machine the
firm received payment not in gold or in a
bill of exchange, but in 2.040 Mexican dol
lars in several bags, weighing 175 pounds,
on which the express charges amounted to
$11.50. The firm took the coins to a bank,
but the bank would not receive them as
money or merchandise. They then offered
the dollars by telegraph to the treasury at
Washington, on the supposition that the
currency might be available in the Philip
pine islands. Receiving no answer, they
piled up the silver in their counting room
and put out a sign: “Silver dollars, 45
cents each.” According to the latest reports
they had no customers.
The Soldiers* Pay.
Washington Post.
There has been more or less talk around
the paymaster’s office of the War Depart
ment about allotting the w’ages of soldiers
so that soldiers in the field can have a por
tion of their pay sent to their wives and
families. General Stanton, however, does
not think it necessary to do that at present.
Arrangements have been made so that sol
diers in Cuba, for instance, who want to
forward money to their families will be fur
nished by the paymasters with New York
drafts. The pay of the soldiers in the Phil
ippines and Cuba will be given them
promptly and will be in gold and silver. Ten
paymasters have been sent to the Philip
pines and eighteen have been sent to Cuba.
This force is thought to be sufficient for
disbursing the wages due.
Bad for Beet Sugar.
Philadelphia Press.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, a chemist of inter
national fame and the best authority on the
sugar question In the United States, makes
the astonishing statement that it is possible,
with all the advantages of climate and soil
in Haw aii and Cuba, to bring the maximum
yield of sugar cane up to eight tons to an
acre, where to-day It is from one and a
half to two tons, with an occasional phe
nomenal yield of four. Dr. Wiley has long
been recognized as. the foremost of beet
sugar advocates, but he declares that with
the free admission of sugar from Hawaii
and Cuba the beet sugar industry will die a
natural death.
Tenting His Eyesight.
Chicago Journal, i
“Just sit down in that chair.” said the
oculist to the patient, whose reputation for
financial procrastination aid repudiation
was well known to him; “1 will test your
eyes.” Then he held a primed schedule of
his prices, with a “No trust” line at the
bottom, in front of his eyes, and asked:
“Can you read that?"
“I am afraid," replied the patient, reach
ing for his hat, "that my case is beyond the
reach of human skill.”
Nobody Cares.
Baltimore American.
The Populists in some of the Western
States are laboring under the mistaken idea
that the people are Interested in their petty
quarrels. No one outside of their own dis
cordant family cares a picayune about these
contests among people who, while they may
not be avowed enemies of the government,
are constantly protesting against the man
ner in w’hich the business of the country is
being conducted.
Took It for a Tip.
Philadelphia North American.
A customer in a Chicago hotel gave a
waiter a SSOO bill in payment of his bill.
The waiter hasn’t been seen since. It’s
more than likely that, being a Chicago man,
he understood that he was to keep the

There are medicinal preparations nowa

The final triumph in this respect is Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It
was first given to the world thirty years

time. It cures 98 per cent of all cases of
consumption, bronchial, throat and kindred
affections. Thousands who were hopeless
