the appointment of district attorneys and
was aimed at District Attorney Davis. It
provided that district attorneys who re
ceived their appointments from courts and
not from the President cannot hold office
beyond a session of Congress. In receding
from this amendment the Senate left the

Davis from retaining his office.

BALLOON ABOVE SANTIAGO
Seen Taking Observations Yesterday of
Spanish Fortifications.
It Wan Sent Up From the American
Camp, in Charge of Two
Men.
NEW YORK. July 1.?A dispatch to the
Journal from a correspondent In Santiago
de Cuba states that a balloon sent up from
the American camp was seen from San
tiago on Thursday. In the balloon were
two men. seemingly taking observations of
the Spanish fortifications about Santiago.
CHICAGO, July 1.?The balloon that Is
now in active use and sailing over the be
leaguered city of Santiago and In plain
view of 23.000 Spaniards and 17.000 Amer
icans, was shipped from Tampa with
Shatter's forces, together with the sub
marine cables and other field telegraph
equipment now being used by the Signal
Corps of the regular army in Cuba.
Mr. W. J. Lloyd, assistant district super
intendent of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, says that It is probably one of
the finest and most improved equipments
used In warfare. This balloon was shipped
from Paris early in May and Is charged
with oxygen gas from tubular reservoirs
which have been in use by the army for
experimental purposes at Fort Riley.
The balloon is first charged and then
allowed ti ascend by means of wire cables
from a large reel, made fast to a field
wagon. The cable Is used as a telegraph
and telephone conductor, and the occupants
of the balloon transmit to the ground their
observations.
There is little danger of ths balloon being
pierced by a rifle shot on account of Its
constantly swaying condition and the ex
treme difficulty of hitting anything at an
elevation of say 2.500 feet, which is the
usual limit of a cable reel. Ths French
claim to have a gun which will pierce a
balloon, but it is supposed there are none
in use either in the American or Spanish
armies. Had one of these balloons been
aboard of Sampson's fleet much anxiety
would have been prevented pending the '
final discovery of Admiral Cervera in San
tiago harbor. It is Mr. Lloyd's belief that
the balloon is in charge of Major Joseph E.
Maxfleld, who was formerly signal officer of
the departm-nt of th? Missouri, with Gen
eral Brookes of Chicago. This particular
balloon has a lifting capacity of 30f> or 400
pounds, which will enable it to carry two
signal men of ordinary weight, as well as
the necessary telegraph apparatus. This is
said to be the first time that a balloon has
ev?r been put in actual war service on this
side of the Atlantic ocean.
Gl ERRILLAS IX CASEY.
Five Hundred of Thru, With One Gnn,
in an Old Church.
Special Dispatch to The Etftn'n? Star.
Camp of the 1st Regiment, Wednesday,
June 2S? (via Playa del Este). July 1.?I ac
companied an advanced reconnaissance to
Caney today. Five hundred Spanish guer
rillas were encamped there, entrenched be
hind a barbed wire fence and a ditch.
They had one small gun. and an old church
had been turned into a fort by the Spanish.
There were no scouts or advanced outposts
and no earthwork in the direction of Caney.
This place ptobably will fall tomorrow.
General Shafter came to the front today
and camped. He has stopped the wagon
trains, because the wagons stuck in the
mud. The heavy rains yesterday will cause
further delay.
Troops are on extremely short rations, on
account of the difficulty of packing pro
visions to the front.
Working details from many regiments are
roadmaking. Our outposts are now at El
Poso, five miles from Santiago. A thou
sand Cubans, under Gonzales, hover about
our front, performing good scout service.
IMPORTANT ARRESTS.
Cliargrd With Having: Violated the
Pension Law* for Twenty Yenm.
The pension office has just received in
formation of the arrest of Margaret 11c
Carty, Ellen Casey and Eugene Casey,
charged with forgi ry in the case of Mary
McCarty, mother of Dennis, a deceased
soldier of the civil war. These arrests are
considered among the most Important ever
made by the department, as the culprits
have been sucessfully impersonating a pen
sioner for more tb.i>n twenty years.
According to a report from the special
examiner who worked up the case it ap
pears that the pensioner Mary McCarty
died ir. this city, December 28, 1877. Since
that time Margaret McCarty has personat
ed her mother and signed and sworn to
the vouchers to May 4 last. In this she
has been assisted by Mrs. Ellen Casey,
another daughter of the dei eased pensioner,
end for the last three or four years a son
of Ellen Casey, Eugene Casey, has been a
witness. Mr*. Ca!-ey has been held in $1,000
ball for the action of the grand jury and
her son. who is twenty years of age, in &00
bail. The principal, Margaret McCarty, Is
reported sick in bed with inflammatory
rheumatism and has not been given a hear
ing. She is, however, in charge of a
Vniied States marshal. Several thousand
dollars have been embezzled from the gov
ernment. the pension officials charge, in
this case.
THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE
Effort to Have It Exempted From the
Civil Service I.uw.
Senator Pritchard today talked with the
President about issuing an order appor
tioning the appointments in the govern
ment printing office, as exclusively an
nounced In yesterday's Star. The senator
Is strongly of the opinion that as long as
the printing office remains under the civil,
strvice the appointments made from the
eligible list ought to be apportioned among
the states. The senator is extremely hope
ful that the President will shortly issue an
order modifying the civil service rules gov
erning the printing office. He is urging the
President to do this as soon as possible. A
majority of the Senate has signed a peti
tion asking that the office be exempted.
The President is aware of this, and it is
believed that in the course of a few weeks
i.e will issue the order.
Senator Pritchard has the matter In
charge, and is strongly backed by Senator
Haiina and other leading republicans.
THE SENATE RECEDED.
Agreed to Sundry Civil and Indian
Appropriation Dills.
The Senate late yesterday afternoon
cleared tha legislative decks for what may
be the final action upon the Hawaiian an
nexation resolutions. Through Its action
the last of the appropriation bills that has
been pending in conference was disposed of
and was a Jaw before midnight.
After a debau lasting three hours the
Senate finally receded from Its amendments
to the sundry civil and adopted the con
ference report on the Indian appropriation
bill. Mr. Allison (Iowa), in charge of the
bills, explained that It was necessary that
the reports should be agreed to last lilght.
as that was the la&t of the fiscal year. He
pointed out that If the bills were not laws
by midnight they would have to be passed
again by the two branches of Congress.
The delay consequant upon such action
would seriously embarrass the government
and might force Congress to remain In ses
sion several weeks longer.
In denouncing the action of the conferees
for striking out the free homes provision
of the Indian bill. Mr. Pettigrew (S. D.)
charged the republican party with being
dominated by the "momy power" and with
the election of senators by the corrupt use
of money.
Mr. Bate (Tetm.) and Mr. Tillman (S. C.)
discussed at length the Hawaiian annexa
tion resolutions. The latter discussed the
rac; problem from the standpoint of a
southern man, and was characteristically
vigorous In his remarks. He accounted for
the slight interest manifested in the Ha
waiian debate by saying that the question
was fully discussed in executive session
sarly last winter, and that it was only nat
ural that there should be a lack of interest
and an unwillingness to listen to a repeti
tion of speeches delivered then.
At 6:14 p.m. the Senate went Into ?xecu
tlva session, and at 0.37 adjourned.
A DESERVED PROMOTION.
Mr. Cortelyou Made Aulntant Secre
tary to the President.
President McKinley has appointed George
Bruce Cortelyou of New York assistant
secretary to the President, to fill the addi
tional position of that grade recently cre
ated by Congress.
For nearly three years Mr. Cortelyou has
been the chief executive clerk to the Presi
dent. He was born In New York, July 26,
1862. He received his education In public
and private schools; tutored classes in
English literature at Cambridge, Mass.;
returned to New York, studied stenography
and was appointed confidential stenogra
pher In the United States appraiser's office
at New York. In October, 1880, was ap
pointed private secretary to the post office
Inspector hi charge at New York.
In July, 1S01, Mr. Cortelyou was appoint
ed private secretary to Mr. Rathbone,
fourth assistant postmaster general. He
resigned In March, 1802, upon the advent of
the new administration, but was reappoint
ed by Mr. Maxwell, assistant postmaster
\
preneraL In addition to his duties as prl
I vate secretary, he was acting chief clerk
of the office and had much to do with the
organization of the bureau of the fourth
assistant postmaster general, in Novem
ber, 1X!>5, ho was appointed stenographer
to the President and in February, 1SHJ, ex
ecutive clerk to the President.
He Is a graduate of the law schools of the
Georgetown and Columbian Universities,
receiving from the former the degree of
LL. B., from the latter the degree of LL.
M. He has been for many years a member
of the New York Press Club and has been a
frequent contributor to newspapers and
periodicals.
When Mr. Porter became secretary to the
President he assigned to the executive
clerkship mapy duties not heretofore asso
ciated with the place. He is the confiden
tial clerk to President McKinley, and to
him the President dictates his addresses,
messages and other state papers. Under
the direction of Secretary Porter, he pre
pares these documents for the public print
er and the press. He also lias charge of
Mrs. McKinley's correspondence and the
I arrangement of her receptions. During the
' busy days of the present administration
his duties have been of an exceedingly Im
portant and confidential character, and
| particularly has this been so of late, the
work and responsibilities of his position
having been greatly increased since the
declaration of war with Spain. Mr. Cor
telyou's appointment was a personal one
with the President.
ALMOST IM1I1ARAIII.E.
Humanity Sweltering From the In
tense Hen t.
When the sun this morning first peeped
over th? edge of the eastern horizon those
who were up and about realized that his
gaze was arlent to an intense degree, and
as the old fellow climbed higher and
higher toward the zenith everybody who
had arisen later came to the same con
clusion. By 10 o'clock it became pretty
evident that so far as human feeling was
concerned, which Is really the only proper
test of temperature, anyhow, today would
be the most unbearable of all the hot days
which have been experienced here this
year. The sun beat down relentlessly from
a cloudless sky, and a responsive gridiron
oT asphalt streets and avenues threw back
Its glare with almost added interest, and
to make things worse a lazy breeze picked
up and wafted everywhere the atmosphere
trade stifling and sickening by this dual
action of direct and reflected heat.
It was notlcealle that hot weather joke3
were scarce. The heat was too serious for
even the scoffers to find It a matter for
humor. It was aiso noticeable that the
streets, after the noon hour, were unusual
ly deficient in pedestrians. Few were out
save those -vhose business compelled them
to be. and these moved more slowly than
usual and made frequent stops in shady
places. Two thus met under an F street
av r.ing.
"Awful, ain't it?" queried the one in a
crash suit, swabbing 1 is brow with a hand
kerchief alread-. wet and limp from con
btant uso of the same sort.
"Yep. prett/ btd," replied the other, who
was clad in blue serge, "but just think of
our boys i'own at Santiago fighting in
weather just like this."
"Dogged if tilt re isn't some solace in
that." said ihe other man. "Less go and
get a high ball and drink to those brave
boys."
And the se -ge suit said;
"I'll go you."
MYSTERIOIS ASSAULT.
Youuk Colored Mum Beaten Into In
?eiinlbillty.
A young colored man named William Col
bert was assaulted and seriously injured
about 11 o'clock last night on a lot near
3d and Q streets northwest. He was un
conscious when Policeman Bryan and Mc
Gregor picked him up and sent him to
Freemen's Hospital. The doctors found
he had been kicked in the eye and had re
ceived several bruises about the head.
Soon after he reached the hospital the in
jured man regained consciousness ahd went
heme. A colored woman known as "Toot
ale" West was arrested on suspicion, but
was subsequently released.
Colbert and his little boy we^c walking
across the lot when the former found a
pair of slippers and an umbrelli. It was
while he was investigating his find that he
was assaulted by an unknown colored man
who is supposed to have been with the
owner of the slipper, and these were
claimed by the woman who was arrested.
She denied that she had witnessed the as
sault. Her statement was that she was
on her way home from an excursion and
stopped on the lot to rest. When the as
sault was committed she says she was at
the corner of Sd and P streets, and had left
her slippers and umbrella in charge of
the young man whom she had met down
the river.
REMAIXS THE SAME.
Breirera Did Not Advance Price of the
Amber F*lold.
A conference at which, It is stated, all
the heads of the various breweries in
Washington and vicinity except Mr. C.
Heurich was present was held last evening
at the office of the brewers' exchange, on
4'i street northwest, for the purpose of
considering the advisability of Increasing
the price of beer. One of those who attend
ed said he had interviewed Mr. Heurich as
to his views on the subject, and the latter
replied that he did not intend to change
the price from the present figure and would
pay the government tax for his customers.
In view of the stand taken by Mr. Heu
rich, the meeting adjourned without de
ciding upon their future course in the mat
ter.
Atrrencat on Sundry Civil Bill.
The House today agreed to the conference
report on the sundry civil appropriation
bill. The Senate receded from all lta
amendments. It la expected that the bill
will become m law today.
GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER
Verdict in the Owe'of Charles Kuhnert,
Charged With Harder.
Alleged to Hire Been the Cause of
Robert J. Coyle's Death?
m ?
The Sentence.
The trial of Charles Kuttnert, charged
?with the murder of Thomas J. Coyle, the
cigar dealer and subatltuteletter carrier.
March 18 last, was resumed In Criminal
Court No. 2 this morning before Judge
E^dley. The morning was consumed In
examining additional witnesses for the
government, but very little new light was
thrown on the rather mysterious killing.
The witnesses were questioned by Prose
cuting Attorney Shillington and cross-ex
amined by Mr. Sillers, attorney for the de
fendant.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon Justice Brad
ley instructed the Jury to return a verdict
of guilty of manslaughter. The d?fendant
was then sentenced to eight months in Jail
and fined $10. This action was taken with
the consent of the defense, who offered no
testimony. The tsrmlnation of the case
was abrupt.
Coyle and Kuhnert were drinking In
Geary's saloon on I street southeast, when
the former was struck. Coyle walked out
of the Ealoon, complaining of a pain In
his head. He grew worse that night, and
died early the following morning. A post
mortem examination disclosed the fact
that Coyle's skull had been fractured, and,
hemorrhage following, resulted in his
death.
Tlie Affray In the Saloon.
James A. Geary, proprietor of the saloon
at 902 1st street southeast, told of th3
drinking by Coyls and the accused, Kuhn
ert, in his place March 18, the evening of
the fatal assault. Neither was intoxicated.
Kuhnert said he was going home. Coyle
ask;d the accused if he wanted him to so
by New Jersey avenue and L. street. Kuhn
ert not answering. Coyle repeated the ques
tion, when Kuhnert was seen to turn ana
fill Coyle with a fist blow. Geary was
compelled to put Kuhnert out of the room
to av-oid further trouble. When he had
gone Coyle wanted to follow his assailant,
but was detained fully five minutes. Coyle
left the piace about 10:20 o'clock, returning
shortly before mfdnight with his brother
in-law, James Hart, and ordering drinks.
After Covle had swallowed a little he be
gan vomiting. Geary heard nothing pass
between Coyle and Kuhnert to justify the
blMrs. Mary A. Coyle told of finding her
husband about midnight in the lower hall,
unable to speak, but pointing to the bruiseB
on his nose and head. She did her best
for him, but he died early the next morn
ing. She did not hear her husband fall and
she did not think he fell off the sofa, al
though he must have been sitting on It
before she found him.
The defense claims that Kuhnert is ig
norant of how Coyle received the fatal frac
ture and that the case is lacking in every
essential of murder surroundings.
Bloiv Struck by Kuhnert.
"Witnesses this morning told of the blow
struck by Kuhnert in Geary's saloon the
night of the affray. when Coyle was
knocked down and cut on the nose.
The first witness called was John Brack
enborough, a colored man. who was inthe
saloon, and witnessed the difficulty. There
was no ill feeling apparent between the
two men when the blow was struck. He
saw nothing in Kuhnert's hand, but after
he had struck the first blow with his fist
the defendant grabbed for a bottle and
glass on the bar. but the witness caught
him and helped to prevent any further
^Georgo Chapman, colored, who works in
Geary's saloon, gave practically the s<>m?
version of the difficulty, saying t.iat when
Kuhnert struck Coyle the latter s nose: bled
a little. Kuhnert was shoved out of the
place and Coyle was, restrained from foi
l0m.ingbWGArcher of 1004 South Capito,
street, u watchamn at the railroad cross
ing at New Jersey avenue, near oearj s
saloon, saw the two men Wther
10-30 o'clock the jitght of Waich 18.JU?*
after the saloon trouble. Coyle said to
Kuhnert: "Charley, you treated me dtr'>r
Kuhnert replied. "That's all right; you had
no right to slur me." Coyle replied that
he would meet his assailant again face to
face, but would not "do him" as he had
d?ne" Cat and llrulse.
Coyle showed witness the cut on his nose
and a blue bruise on the left temple. "VVit
ness felt the bruise and found it was soft.
Coyle complained of his head.
On cross-examination. Archer Bald ?
was not sure, but thought Coyle hadon a
ass. M;,,*,,a,BKuXst vzs?5S
?cwA'sa
a young white man, who knew the dead
n an and the defendant, stated on the^lt
, CSS stand that he was near Watchman
Archer's box the night of the tragedy Ho
corroborated Archer's testimony regarding
the cut on Coyle's note and the bruise on
his left temple. Coyle did not appear to be
drinking that night, and he did not know
him as a drinking men. He did not hear
Kuhnert say anything about police pro
tection. Ho saw Archer place his hand on
Coyle's bruise.
At the Watch Box.
James B. Gallagher of 804 Oth street
southwest, a clerk at the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad freight office, was next
sworn. He was in Watchman Archer's box
at New Jersey avenue when Coyle and
Kuhnert came from Geary's saloon. Coyle
told Kuhnert he would meet him again.
The latter, walking away, muttered some
thing about police protection. Coyle, speak
ing of the bruise on his temple and cut on
his nose, said that in Geary's he had treat
ed Kuhnert several times. Kuhnert said:
"Tommy, 1 owe you 50 cents."
"That's all right; I'll meet you at River
View some time," Cdyle said he replied.
"What do you mean by that?' Kuhnert
demanded.
Coyle replied that he meant no harm.
Then Coyle declared that Kuhnert asked
him to go homo with him; that Kuhnert
had been drinking several days and want- |
ed Coyle to fix things for htm. The latter
said ho would go only as far as New Jersey
avenue and L street. He refused again to
walk home with Kuhnert, when the latter
struck him. Coyle said to witness that he
did not know how many times he was
struck. , ,
Gallagher said he felt Coyle s bruise and
found it to be soft. Coyle shook his head
constantly and said:
"Oh, how my head hurts."
The injured man seemed miserable. He
talked all right, but appeared to be
stunned.
Vomiting Canned by Injury.
Deputy Coroner Gi^jjebropk was recalled,
end stated that Ce lt's , vomiting after
Kuhnert's blow was^videgtiy due to the
brain injury. Tho fracture itself did little
immediate damage, the ensuing hemor

visiting his house Just after the saloon af
fair. He saw a cut, on nQse and discol

hand to his head, complaining all the time.
James E. Hart, another brother-in-law of
the dead man, v.-ho returned to the saloon

The presecution closed Just before the
noon recess, with the examination of James
Callahan, who was in Geary's saloon at the
time of the occurrence.
At this point Mr. Albert Sillers, attorney
for the defendant, moved that the case be
taken from the Jury, as the government's
evidence was insufficient. This motion was
overruled by Justice Bradley. Mr. Sillers
then moved that the jury should consider
the case as one of manslaughter and not of
murder. Prosecutor Shillington replied at
some length. Judge Bradley stated that he
would instruct the jury that the case was
not one of murder, tfnd that It would be for
them to determine whether or not It was a
case of manslaughter.
The defense will put ftll its testimony In
this afternoon.
The Jury Secured.
A Jury was secured after The Star'* re
port closed yesterday afternoon. It con
sists of the following: George P. Downey,
T. D. Manning, Jr., William T. Reed, John
O. T. McCarthy, Charles M. Turner, Chac.
F. Obold, Patrick Vaughn, W. H. Mlckle,
jr.. Charles B. Henson, John A. McNulty,
Charles A. McNair and David E. Jenkins.
The first witness called for the United
States was Dr. Larkin W. Glazebrook.
deputy coroner. The witness said he had
examined Coyle at the morgue and found
him to be a small, emaciated man, In the
first days of consumption. There was a
clean-cut wound on the left side of the
nose, evidently made by some sharp In
strument. On the left side of the head was
a hole, although the skin was not broken
or bruised. Opening the scalp he found a
bad fracture of the skull, the bones In the
center being depressed about three-quarters
of an inch. The man's death was due to
hemorrhage subsequent to the fracture.
Dr. Glaaebrook said he was struck with
the remarkable thinness of the skull of the
dead man, its thickness at the point of
fracture being scarcely one-sixteenth of an
inch. Held to the light It could be seen
through. Ordinarily the skull is about one
half an Inch In thickness at that point.
The farcture was made, in his opinion, by
some blunt instrument. It might have
been made by the man falling violently
against a chair. Dr. Glazebrook said, on
cross-examination, but was not by falling
on the floor or against any smooth object.
Dr. Albert E. Johnson, who attended
Coyle before death, was called, and his tes
timony was similar to that of the first wit
ness.

RED CROSS WORK
It ii Explained by the Chairman of the
Local Committee.
How the Organisation Came About
and Something of Ita Inlrr
nlia? Career.
, Mr. B. H. Warner, who is chairman of
the local committee of the American Na
tional Red Cross, waa questioned today by a
Star reporter as to the extent of the work
which the Washington committee would
undertake. He said the work would be
j confined to the sick at Camp Alger and
Fort Myer, and that no supplies would be
. furnished nor work done that was not con
| sidered necessary by the surgeons In
charge.
Headquarters have been established at
1310 G street and supplies which would be
useful In case of sickness are to be sent
| there. Mr. Charles J. Bell Is treasurer of
the committee and money contributions are
sent to him at the American Security and
| Trust Company.
In answer to a question as to what the
Red Cross stands for, Mr. Warner said
that during the past few days information
on this point had been frequently called
for. He gave the following general descrip
tion of the work and purposes of the or
ganization;
Work of the Umrantcntton.
It does not Indicate any religious creed.
Briefly stated, the Red Cross stands for re
lief, and the work of the American 2\atlon
al Red Cross now Is to relieve the recon
centrados in Cuba, as well as our own sol
I diet's and sailors who may be sick or
| wounded. Its relief will be carried to every
sufferer from war with whom any of Its
agents come in contact.
The Red Cross had its origin at or about
the time of the battle of Solferino In the
Italian war of lKult. The formation of the
society was suggested by M. Dunant. who
witnessed the large amount of suffering
incident to that terrible struggle. In which
more than a quarter of a million of men
| were engaged. A committee was formed in
| to consider the question of ameliorat
ing the suffering of the sick and wounded
| in the time of war. As a result of the de
| liberations of this committee and other con
ferences, a plan was adopted at a confer
ence in Geneva In October. 18U3. at which
fourteen different governments were repre
sented. Important measures were dls
| cussed at this conference.
A red cross with a white ground was
adopted as the insignia of the aid societies.
Resolutions were adopted as to the charac
| ter of aid to be furnished and calling upon
[ the different governments for co-operation.
Since that time there have been wide dis
cussions as to the purpose of the society.
Perhaps one of the most important accom
plishments of the society was the inter
national treaty, signed at a conference held
in Geneva, in August, lhtH. by the repre
sentatives of twelve powers. This treaty
was called tile Geneva convention. Among
Its most Important provisions Is the fol
lowing:
The Geneva Convention.
"The belligerents must take care of the
sick or wounded soldiers whom they may
find, without distinction of nationality.
Men who may be cured, but are incapable of
serving again, must, if they belong to the
enemy, be sent back to their own country
instead of being kept as prisoners of war.
Hostile acts must not be committed against
ambulances and hospitals, nor can they be
appropriated if there are sick or wounded
In them, and they are not guarded by a
military force. Ambulances cannot be de
prived of their material in any case; and
| patl?-nts discharged from them are to be re
| garded as neutrals. Hospital personnel,
administrative as well as medical and re
ligious. Is declared to be neutral, and Its
members cannot be Interrupted in the per
formance of their duties, nor kept In cap
tivity. inducements are held out to the
inhabitants of those places where battles
are fought. In order that they may be en
i couraged to assist in the sanitary service
of armies. Finally, for the personnel and
material on which the convention confers
certain immunities, as a sign by which they
may be recognized, use should be made of
a flag or an armlet bearing a red cross on
a white ground, which trie military au
thorities of the belligerents alone have the
right to grant."
Attracting General Attention.
| The Red Cross movement is now attract
ing general atter.tlon throughout the civ- j
llized world. During the early days of the
Franco-German war Miss Clara Barton, so
widely known in this country for her rela
tions with charitable work, was Invited to
go to the field and see the work of the
German Red Cross. She accepted the in- '
vltation. and since that date has devoted il
large portion' of her time to the advocacy
of Red Cro?s principles and methods. In
this country the Red Cross has been most
prominent In the relief afforded the suf
ferers from the Johnstown flood, the Mis
sissippi floods ard the lalsing of supplies
for the famine stricken ptasants of Rus
sia. For neirly six months It afforded re
lief for nearly <5,000 r.cgroes off the coast
of South Carolina. The work of Miss Bar
ton In connicticn with the massacres In
Asia Minor Is also of recent date and Is
well known.
The War and Navy Departments of the
United State-3 accepted the tender of the
services of the American National Red
Cross on the 8th of June, and representa
tives have now gone Into various camps
and also Into Cuba under tho supervision
of Miss Barton, who has already effected
a landing. The Red Cross steamer Texa3
was loaded months ago with food and hos
pital supplies, or'ginally Intended for tho
relief of the recencentrados. The mission
of this stea ner, however, owing to com
plications of war could not be carried oj:,
and Miss Barton now Intends to personally
scpei Intend the relief of the sufferers for
whom these su;plles were intended and
also sick and wounded soldiers and sailors.
WATSON' JOIXS SAMPSON".
The Commodore Reports His Arrival
Off Santiago.
Commodore Watson has reported to the
Navy Department his arrival off Santiago.
He is In consultation with Admiral Samp
son respecting the details of the cruise to
Spain, which it is expected will occupy
fully four months, provided the war en
dures that length of time. The delays to
which the Spaniards are subject at Fort
Said will redound very greatly to the ad
vantage of Admiral Dewey If Camara Is
still In reality bound for the Philippines,
for they insure the arrival of almost the
whole of General Merrltt's military force
and almost certainly of the cruiser Charles
ton and the monitors Monterey and Mo
nadnock before the Spanish squadron could
reach Manila harbor.
The Wonnded of Qnaalna.
The Secretary of War has received a dis
patch from General Shatter, dated Siboney,
Cuba, June 20, saylnfft
"Edward Marshall reported better. Oli
vette should be kept here. About forty '
men that doctors wtll send back by first
opportunity to Key West."
General Bhafter's dispatch shows that
the men wounded at the battle of Quaslna
will be sent to Key West as soon os possi
ble, but not by the hospital ship Olivette,
which will be retained In Cuban waters to
meet any emergency which may require
her services.
The Military Telegraph.
General Greely, chief signal officer, has |
received a dispatch from Lieutenant Col- i
or,el Allen, chief signal corps In Cuba, an
nouncing that a telegraph and telephone
station had been established at a point
within two miles of the city of Bantlafo.
This Information is of the highest Im
portance to the officials of the War Depart- I
ment, as it Insures to them practically di
rect communication with General Shatter.
Mr. Allen Made Wo. Sack Statement.
Assistant Secretary Allen la Indignant
on being quoted In a New York afternoon
paper as saying that Watson's squadron
would sail for Spain Monday and that the |
coast of Spain would be bombarded within
three weeks. Mr. Allen he has made
r.o such statement and repudiates tbe al- I
leged interview.
