Total Obliteration of Shaffer’s
Men Threatened.
WHOLE ARMY IS SICK.
Not a Perfectly Well Man Among Ameri
can Troops at Santiago.
War Department Finally A wakens to
Necessity of Action— buffering Fol
diers to He Sent North ;s Rapidly as
I’ossihlc Are to He Transported to
Montaulc Point, L. I.— Sensational
Petition Signed by All the Leading
Officers at Santiago.
Washington special:
Gen. Shaffer’s artuy will be brought
home to the United States as rapidly as
possible. Infoimation that the division
commanders at Santiago, led by Col. The
odore Roosevelt, had addressed a letter to
Gen. Shatter urging the immediate with
drawal of the Fifth corps from Cuba, was
eaiitaim-d in a dii iteh which was carried
to the White House after 1 o’clock Thurs
day morning, nml a council of war was
held at once when the full purjtort of the
letter became known.
In the statement presrfntcd to Shatter
by Roosevelt, and which\ is indorsed by
all the general officers atl Santiago, it is
the declared belief that llnilf the army
will die if kept in Cuba, aitd tliut the men
must be sent north to snvci their lives.
For some days buck Gefi. Shatter’s re
ports of the sickness in Vis army have
been alarming. Nearly fonc-fifth of his
men are in the Most of them
are disabled by muluriat fever. Fortu
nately there are not many* cases of yellow
fever ns yet, but Col. IS msevelt alleges
that these figures, distrct*dng as they are,
do not give an adequateiidea of the con
dition of the army. 110 states that not
10 per cent are lit for motive work, and
that the men are so wertkenod by mula
rinl fevers thnt if a genuine yellow fever
epidemic were to break, out it would
sweep through them like fire through stub
ble. The opinion has been generally held
that if the army were moved to higher
nml healthier ramps in the interior its
sanitary condition would improve at once.
(V I. Roosevelt is of a contrary opinion,
lie asserts that “every shifting of camp
doubles the sick rate in our present weak
ened condition.” Thnt is, the men are so
run down that the labor involved in mov
ing camp is too much for many of them.
He states also that “the interior is ra” -
er worse than the coast.” and that *'
present camps are as healthy as ~ny
camps at this end of the island can be.”
The sick 1. s show that those camps are
most unhealthy.
Col. Roosevelt declares that if the San
tiago troops, with the exception of the
immunes, are sent nort* 1 i six weeks the
malaria will he out ui meir systems and
- n

they will he ready for a fall campaign.
From present appearances there will not
he one, but in either event the army
should be moved.
It had been intended for some time that
the Santiago troops should be withdrawn
as soon ns the yellow fever should he
stamped out, the War Department believ
ing that the disease could he overcome
without too great cost of life. Steps had
been taken for the immediate movement
of a part of the troops, an order having
been prepared directing thnt all of the
cavalry forces at Santiago, and all of
those nt Tampa, except the Fifth regu
lars and. the First Ohio volunteers, be
moved to Montauk Point without delay.
The council of leading officers of the
War anil Navy Departments held at the
White House was called to consider the
withdrawal of all the military forces in
Santiago as promptly ns possible, in the
light of the revelations made iiy Col.
Roosevelt and the other officers. It was
decided after some discussion that the
Santiago troops should be transported to
Montauk Point with as little delay as pos
sible.
In accordance with Secretary Alger’s
order Gen. Shatter's corps, numbering
21,000 men, exclusive of the 4.000 suffer
ing from fever, who will have to remain
in Cuba until they are convalescent, will
be moved to Montauk Point as soon as
transportation can be secured, and until
the evneuation by the Spanish will permit
of a reduction in the garrison of Santiago.
The camps nt Montauk Point are in read
iness for occupation.
When Shatter’s army has evacuated
the province Santiago will be turned over
to the First and Second United States
volunteer infantry regiments (immunes),
commanded by Cols. Roche and Hood.
The Third and Fifth immune regiments,
Col. P. 11. Any and Col. Herbert Sar
geant, have also been ordered to Santiago,
and will soon depart. Two other immune
regiments yet to lie selected will be or
dered to embark in a few days. Four
more immune regiments are in process of
organization, mid will be sent to Santiago
if those now under orders prove inade
quate in maintaining a garrison nt the
provincial capital now under control of
Americans.
In Secretary Alger's order the fact is
mentioned that Shatter’s army will re
main at Montauk Point until fall, and
will then be used in the campaign against
Havana. This confuses persons not fa
miliar with army affairs, but military offi
cials explain that this phase of the order
was compiled in accordance with the orig
inal plans of campaign, in wbieJh no
charge will lie made until peace is de
-1 dared.
BECAUSE HE DIDN'T FIGHT.
Spanish Commander ot Ponce Ha#
Been Conrt-Martialed.
Gen. Macias has telegraphed from San
Juan, Porto Rico, to Gen. Correa, minis
ter of war at Madrid, that Col. San Mar
tin. who commanded the Spanish troops
at Ponce, has been court-martialed for
evacuating the place without a fight. The
penalty imposed up on him is not announc
ed. )*ut one report says thnt he has been
dismissed from the army, while another
says he has been shot. It is also said
that Col. Puig, who was second iu com
mand at Ponce, committed suicide tijsin
hearing of the sentence imposed upon his
superior.
Approves of Montauk Point.
Surgeon General Sternberg arrived in
Washington from New York, and made a
full report to the Secretary of War in
regard to his examination of the Mon
tauk Toint site as a proposed camping
ground for the soldiers that the depart
ment hopes to withdraw from Santiago

MEETING OF GENERALS SHAFTER AND TORAL AT THE CAPITULATION OF SANTIAGO
—New York Herald. "
TO INCKKASK DEWEY'S FLEET.
Oregon, MaawachiiHctt, and Newark
Are Likely to He rent.
On account of their protracted stay in
equatorial waters, some of the ships of
Admiral Dewey’s command need over
hauling, and before long they must be
cleaned and otherwise put in order. The
Navy Department is considering the
question of withdrawing some of Dewey’s
vessels to Mare Island and Port Orchard
for dry docking and assigning other ves
sels to iake their places. The probabili
l MAJOR ORNKBAL JAMK9 F. WADE.
|li. are that the Asiatic squadron will be
*gr ally increased in the number and chnr-
Tncter'of ships. When the Spanish Gov
ernment has complied with the terms of
the United States concerning the evacua
tion of Cuba and Porto Itico. there will
he no necessity of keeping so large a fleet
l in West Indian waters. The sending of
re-onforeements to Dewey will begin as
soon trs vessels have been cleaned and
overhauled at New York. Norfolk nml
Port Royal. The cruiser Newark and the
battleships Massachusetts and Oregon are
llikely to he the selections for service on
(the Asiatic station, forming, with the ves
fsels now at Manila, a powerful fleet of
four armorelads and seven other fighting
(ships, not inemding supply and dispatch
'boats and the Spanish gunboats picked up
{by Dewey in the Philippines.
WADE MUST WAIT.
(proposed Expedition to Porto Klco
Has Been Postponed.
1 “According to the present understand
ing there will be a suspension for the
present of the proposed expedition to
• Porto Rico under the command of Maj.
'Gen. Wtide.” This statement was made
!by an official nt the War Department.
'Gen. Corbin denied thnt any such order
Lhnd been issued in writing, hut it was said
Iby others that a verbal order thus itndcr
l stood had been repeated to officials iu
icharge of some of the departments. One
/reason given was that the removal of the

now. Another reason stated was thnt the

Isary a second Forto Rican expedition.

Gen. Shatter is released from all hlume

■ Santiago in the filthy transport Concho.
‘ln a statement signed by Secretary Alger
it is said that the commander of the Con
!cho did not report to Shatter that he need

TROOPS FOR WADE’S DIVISION.
Regiments Selected, hut List Is Subject
to Change.
The list of volunteer regiments to he in
cluded in the provisional division to be
sent to Porto ltieo has been made by the
President. Secretary Alger and Adjutant
General Corbin. It is subject to change,
and until it is definitely determined on
♦he administration will not ailow it to he
published Great difficulty is being expe
rienced in selecting regiments in such a
way as to satisfy the strong pressure
which is 1 eing exerted fi m a large num
ber of commonwealths to have organiza
tions sent to the front.
ROOSEVELT IS REBUKE \
Secretary Alger Thinks the Colonel
Unjustly Criticised Volunteers.
Secretary Alger has made public cor
respondenee between himself and Col.
Roosevelt, in which the latter asks to
have his regiment of rough riders sent to
l>„rto Rico. Roosevelt makes reflections
upon the merit of the State troops as a
whole. Alger’s reply is curt and cautions
Roosevelt against making invidious com
parisons. He says the State vohinE—
are as brave and capable as the rough
riders or any other troops.
ALGER MAY GO TO PORTO RICO.
War Secretary Planning a Two Weeks'
Trip to the Fair Island.
Secretary Alger is contemplating a two
weeks’ trip to I’or'o Rico for the purpose
of gratifying his desire to see that beau
tiful country soon to lie a part of the
United States. He thinks that the war
will be over soon, and that when hostili
ties cease nml the terms of peace are being
arranged he will be aide to get away.
Spain Denies statement.
The Spanish Government denies that
it Ims asked the King of the Belgians
to expel Don Curios from Belgium.
FOR DIO EUROPEAN SQUADRON.
Uncle ' un. Will Soon Be Well Repre
sented In Foreign Waters.
The naval officials are considering the
formation of a big squadron to no sta
tioned in European waters after the war
is over. The intention is to reform the
European squadron, but to nmk > it much
stronger than ever before. J st before
the war began all the American warships
were withdrawn from foreign stations
except the Asiatic* for service ia the West
Indies, and since then the officials have
not had time to bother about arranging
for a resumption of naval representation
in alien waters. In late years the Euro
pean station has dwindled in importance
to the United States, until only three
ships, none armored, were kept there.
With the end of the war believed to be
near, however, the navy officials have be
gun to talk over the character <>f the new
European squadron and have practically
reached the conclusion that a strong and
formidable force should lie sent there, not
because of any likelihood of trouble with
European nations, but to show the people
over there the ships that whipped Spain’s
navy,
FALLING SICK BY HUNDREDS.
Delay in Transporting Prisoners
Causes Embarrassment.
The delay in transporting the Spanish
prisoners from Santiago to Spain is em
barrassing the War Department in many
ways, as it •interferes with the carrying
out of plans in regard to our own troops
and involves the Government in increas
ing daily expense. The contract for trans
porting the Spanish prisoners was award
ed to the Compnnia Trans-Athintique Es
panoln, but at the end of two weeks not a
prisoner had been embarked for the voy
age to Spain. The contract provided thnt
■several of the ships be delivered at San
tiago within five days. Meanwhile, the
prisoners have to be fed nt great expense
to the Government. They are fp'.'mg sick
by hundreds.
WATER POISONERS EXECUTED.
Treacherous Spanish Sympathizers
Caught in Gomez's Cemp.
News bus been received in Washington
that four Spaniards have been vet uted in
the camp of Gen. Makhno Gomez, after
a court-martial, for poisoning the water
in several cisterns in the village of La
Refornm, and that several otlu rs siqe
posed to be in the conspiracy have been
turned over to the Cuban civil authorities
in that part of the islund, to lie given a
civil trial. Several families were made
seriously ill from drinking the water, and
a number of deaths are reported. The
men executed were ’’presentados,” who
had deserted from the Spanish camp and
entered the Cuban lines, ostensibly to join
their army.
FEVER DEATHS FORTY A DAY.
Frightful Sanitary Condition of the
City of Snntiago.
The rejKirts regarding the healthfulness
of Santiago are not borne out by facts;
There is little yellow fever among the
residents, they being acclimated. Hut oth
er diseases are causing a high death rate.
The’sanitary inspector lias made a report
to Gov. Wood which says that dysentery
and malarial fever are epidemic in the
city. The deaths from these causes aver
age forty a day. Under Spanish rule no
attention whatever was paid to sanita
tion,
MEN ON YALE FARE POORLY.
Officer of the t hip l olls of the Voyage
to Cu ha.
An officer attached to the auxiliary
cruiser Yale, which recently sailed for
Cuba with n regiment of troops aboard,
stated that the troops were detained
aboard the crowded decks for three weeks,
two weeks of which time was spent after
the ship had reached Cuban waters. He
said the men got soaking wet every time
it rained and were herded like sheep on
lx>nrd; that there was but n ton of ice
aboard, which was kept for the sick and
the captain’s table; that water was scarce
and its use restricted, and that there were
sixty cases of typhoid fever aboard, re
sulting in several deaths.
PROMOTIONS FOR BRAVERY.
Fchley, Hobson nnd Others YVill I’c
Substantially Remembered.
President McKinley hns decided to fully
recognize the meritorious and gallant con
duct displayed in the war by American
officers and men. They will be rewarded
by promotions. Tl <se known to be slated
for advancement are Schley, Sampson,
Hobson. Wainwright, Clark, Evans, Phil
lip and many other brave officers and men.
EIGHTEEN CUBANS KILLED.
Put to Death Because They Fought
for Spain.
Cubans bring reports to Santiago of the
revolting • .lighter of eighteen of their
country men who Imre arms for Spain.
The guerrillas were captured at Gibrnra,
and were put to death by machetes for
bearing arms against the patriots.
Returns the Money.
To such of the contributors of the
Maine endless chain as give their ad
dress Secretary Long is returning the
money, with a note informing them that
he has no authority under the law to
receive it. The object seems to be other
wise provided for, as Congress has spe
cifically appropriated money for the con
struction of another battleship to lie
known as the Maine.
Garcia Captures Mayor!.
Couriers report that Gen. Garcia has
captured the town of Mayan, near the
north coast, taking 2T)O prisoners. One
cannon fell into the hands of the Cubans.
THIS IS A BURNING SHAME!
Horrible Ti-atmcnt of Sick Soldiers
on Their Voyage to New York.
New Y’ork spccla.: •
There are many bright pictures in the
present war, and some, unfortunately,
that can create no other feeling than that
of stern cond< lunation. Of tlu* latter class
is the incident of the transport Concho,
which reached New York with 172 in
valids from Nihoney, Cuba. The misery
which these unfortunate men endured
during tin* voyage is almost incredible.
Before the vessel sailed from Siboney
177 sick and wounded had been shipped
aboard and it never occurred to any one
to find out what accommodations there
were for that number. Hardly had the
vessel got to sea before the men began to
suffer with seasickness and fevers of va
rious kinds. 1 tysentery, diarrhoea and
oth diseases also broke out and the
vessel was a pest stiip from the first day.
Within twenty-four hours all the ice had
been used up. There was no fresh water,
the water in the storage tanks being near
ly putrid, and there was not sufficient dis
tilling apparatus. There was not even
food for the sick to eat. the vessel having
been supplied with army rations, some
thing which even well men do not greatly
relish. There was also a lack of sur
geons and nurses to cao for the sick and
almost no medicine to administer.
From the first the m -n suffered horri

to live or die.
Before reaching Fort Monroe three had
died and this fact was reported to the
quarantine doctor early Thursday morn

out hearing from Washington, and lie
went ashore after examining the ship to
telegraph the authorities. No answer was
received. The dead lay on the second
deck, with the living lying around them,
until Friday afternoon, when the captain
went to sea and buried them in the waves.
That evening another death occurred nnd
another sea burial. Meanwhile some sup

CABINET COUNCIL ACCEPTS
CONDITIONS OF PEACE.
Formal Reply Is Sanctioned by the
Queen Regent-Conditions Imposed
by the United States Are All Com
plied With- Hostilities May Stop.
War's End Approaches.
Stain's reply submitting to America’s
terms has received its finishing touches in
Madrid. In its final form it was formally
sanctioned by the Queen Regent and offi
cially approved by the council of minis
ters. It vas telegraphed to the Spanish
ambassador at Paris. Scnor Leon y Cas
tillo, with instructions to convey it
promptly to the French minister of for
eign affairs. M. Delensse.
The Spanish peace note, prepared by the
Sagastn cabinet, accepts without discus
sion the four conditions imposed by the
United States preliminary to a cessation
of war and the making of peace. The Sa
gasta cabinet, however, takes care to in
dicate that the Castilian Government
gives way to the force of events and
again asserts that the nation had neither
sought nor done anything to provoke the
war into which it was driven by the con
duct of America. The note suggests a
suspension of hostilities with a vi -w to
make easier the course of negotiations. Iu
the note the Spanish Government agrees
to appoint commissioners in concert with
the United States to consider the future
regime in the Philippines.
The consultations between Premier Sa
gasta and the various Sp.tnish leaders
were finished Saturday night. All the per
sonages consulted except Romero y Roble
do and Gen. Yeyler admitted the extreme
urgency of early peace, consequently there
was no motive for the change of policy
by the Sagastn cabinet or the formation
of anew cabinet, as Sagastn still enjoys
the confidence of the Queen Regent. The
Madrid papers admit that Sagastn has
come out of the crisis at this stage in good
order. The finishing touches were given
in the cabinet council Sunday night to
the Spanish note. Duke Almodovar, be
fore the council, crossed the court to the
royal apartments and placed for the last
time before the Queen Regent the text
of the momentous document that marks
the official assent of Spain to the loss of
the last remnant of her empire in the new
world. The queen and her minister were
equally painfully moved when Duke Al
modovar left the royal apartments to con
vey the document to the council, where
the ministers also showed a deep sense
of painful, mournful solemnity in the act
imposed by necessity upon the rulers of
Spain.
BLANCO GIVES UP.
Proclaims that Powers Have Forced
Sjmin to fnc for Peace.
News has reaeher Washington that
Gen. Blanco at Havana has recently is
sued a proclamation of amnesty, in which
he makes known to the Spanish people
of Cuba that Spain has, through the in
tervention of foreign powers, been forced
to the disgraceful issue of suing fur peace,
and that there will be no more war and
no further use for soldiers. He offered a
pardon to all Cuban political prisoners,
and more than 150 have been released in
Havana.
In explaining Spain’s defeat ’ t his proc
lamation Gen. Blanco informs his credu
lous readers that Spain, having suffered
so much in the present war, could not re
sist the interference of the foreign pow
ers and go to war with all countries at
oic.e, so she was compelled to accede to
their dictation and sue for peace. Ha
vana, he says, will be given over to the
Americans ami Cubans nnd the Spaniards
will he forced to evacuate.
He assures the soldiery and all Spanish
residents who wish to return to Spain or
to go to other Spanish possessions that
they will he given free transportation by
their mother country to their destination
nnd will he protected from interference
on the part of (other Citlmus or Ameri
cans. He suggests that the Cubans he
forgiven and he no longer regarded as
enemies, and that no unkind feelings be
cherished.
STANDING ARMY OF 100,000.
After Peace Is Declared, Hull Will
Favor the Proposition,
Chairman Hull of the House Military
Affairs Committee thinks a standing army
of 100,000 men will be necessary after
peace is brought about. The status of
the regular army will be one of the im
portant subjects to be determined by the
next Congress, and during the recess Mr.
Hull will frame a measure for submission
to his committee for action as soon as it
meets in December, so that early action
may be had. Troops would he needed in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines,
and in his opinion 100,000 regulars will
be needed for some time to come.

Coal Production of United States la
Larger than Kvcr.
From advance proofs of the report of
the geological survey it is learned the coal
production of the United States in* 1897
reached 200.221,665 short tons, worth it
the mines $195,869,178. This is the first
time the 200,000,000 ton mark has been
passed.
Colorado and New Mexico furnished
69,076 short tons of anthracite last year.
Including Alaska thirty-one States and
territories product coal, Idaho and Ne
braska furnishing lint 045 tons. Pennsyl
vania continues to rank first, with an out
put of 54,507,85! tons of bituminous and
52,431,703 tons of anthracite; Illinois sec

Illinois suffered most from strikes of
miners, 206 mines being affected. The
total number of working days lost there
are calculated at 2,000.334. an average of
101 days to each of the 20,407 mines idle.
Pennsylvania was the next sufferer, with
strikes at 118 mines, at which 20.112 men
were idle 72 days and a total of 2.1 <'2,356

PUBLIC DEBT DECREASES.
Cash in the Treasury Increases Be
cause of War Revenue.
The monthly statement of the public
debt shows that at the close of business
July 30, 1898, the debt, less cash in the
treasury, amounted to $0 >7,081,000, a de
crease for the month of $40,004,486. In
dependent of the cash, the statement
shows an increase in the debt of $182,150.
The cash in the treasury increased during
the month by over $49,000,000, principal
ly from receipts on account of the new
war loan. The debt is recapitulated as
follows:
Interest-bearing debt $847,567,740
Debt on which interest has
ceased since maturity... 1,260,050
Debt bearing no Intelest. . 384.207.441
Total $1,232,025,221
This amount, however, does not include
$559,497,083 in certificates and treasury
notes outstanding, which are offset by an
equal amount of cash in tin* treasury. The
cash in the treasury is classified as fol
lows:
Gold $225,186,593

Bonds, deposits in national
banks, disbursing officers’

Against this there are demand liabilities
outstanding amounting to $655,225,718,
leaving a net cash balance of $254,814,-

DELAY IN DISTRIBUTING BONDS.
Investigation of Suspicions Fnbscrip
tions Retards the Work.
The work of distributing the war lean
bonds is not going on as fast ns the offi
cials wish it would. Much ii> - is occu
pied in the investigation of subscriptions
that aroused suspicion as to their genuine
ness. These amounted altogether to $19,-
000,000, and as they arc scrutinized and
passed the number of the subscriptions
that will receive allotment of bonds is
constantly reduced.
It was believed last Friday that the last
of the suspicions subscriptions had been
disposed of. but a number of them are stiff
undergoing investigation. In addition to
these, numerous subscriptions contained
errors, such as unsigned checks, checks
where the amount was not and .ignated or
incorrectly filled in, etc. Efforts are be
ing made to rectify these mistakes, and
when the work has been completed the
officials will be able to make a compre
hensive and accurate analysis of the sub
scriptions.
A report has been circulated that tho
additional $200,000,600 of bonds authoriz
ed by the war revenue bill would be is
sued within a short time. Assistant Sec
retary Vanderlip says that there was no
immediate prospect of the issue of these
bonds, not even as early as in November,
when Secretary Pago had previously in
dicated as the probable date.
UNCLE SAM WILL RETALIATE.
Importation of German Toys Will
Probably Be Prohibited.
The Government has at hist determined
to meet the German commercial edicts
of prohibition with similar acts. Ger
many says American food products are
forbidden to enter the empire because
they threaten the health and interests of
the people of that country. The chemists
of the Agricultural Department are now
engaged in analyzing paints and color
ings on all toys imported to this country
from Germany, with a view to ascertain
ing whether or not poisonous matter
forms a part of the coloring compound, a
general impression prevailing that such
is a fact. If they determine oiot the toys
are dangerous forchildr* -. to handle, their
further impoPation will cease. The I nit
ed States abs >rbs about all the surplus
production of Germany in the matter of
toys, and if the t.i t tire cut off from
this market it will prove a serious blow
to a large number of people there whose
livelihood depends upon the sale of their
handiwork in this line.
GOVERNMENT BALANCE Si EET.
Report of Receipts and Expenditures
for Month of July.
The monthly comparative statement of
the Government receipts and expenditures
show's that during July the receipts
amounted to $43,847,108, a gain as com
pared with July, 1897, of $4,827,000. The
disbursements aggregated $74,2(53,47*. an
increase of a little more than s24,l*so,'**>**.
The receipts during the month from the
several sources of revenue are given as
follows: Customs, $15,109,080. a loss of
about $1,800,000; internal revenue, ?&!,-
170,730, a gain of about $0,400,000; mis
cellaneous. $2,500,730. shout the same ns
u year ago. The expenditures during July
on account of the war amounted to about
$30,000,000 and to about SIIO,OOO/too since
the war began.
BURGOGNE’S VICTIMS AFLOAT.
Passing Vessel Fees Bodies Buoyed by
Life Preservers.
The Austrian steamship Aquileja,
which arrived in Xew York from Medit
erranean ports, passed, about 120 miic-s
south of Sable Island, on Thursday, a
large number of dead bodies kept afloat
by life preservers. Near the bodies w ere
a small quantity of wreckage and a life
buoy marked “La llonray*'<- Havre.*
The bodies were doubtless from La Bour
gogne, which was wrecked in the neigh
borhood. The British steamer Hiawatha
left Halifax on the same day the Aquileja
passed the bodies to search for them.
Must Deposit the Bonds.
In answer to inquiries from national
banks as to whether after allotment of
the new bonds to purchasers the receipts
of the treasurer of the United States ’or
deposits made on account thereof would
be considered as a proper basis for de
posit as security for circulating notes,
Comptroller of the Curreney Dawes has
ruled that such allotment reeeipta cannot
be received ns a basis for circulation.
A movement has been started in New
York for organizing a national league,
whose object will be the furtherance of
the project for bringing about an Anglo-
American alliance.
