We wish there was some way of ac

We sometimes think the growling of
the New York Kventng Post h dogs of

dogs of war.
When a girl talks a great deal about

During our late war Robert Toombs.
If we remember rightly, declared that
the south would welcome northerners
into the confederacy with bloody hands
to hospitable graves. It was a cruel
declaration, and It seems strange now
that It was uttered by a brother with
regard to brothers; but war Is war.
But If Weyler gets back Into Cuba the
Cubans will probably translate It Into
Spanish, and It will seem quite pleasant
and commendable.
The captain of a Spanish vessel at
Manila who wnnted the fight postponed
until he could get some ammunition was
treated with great severity by Commo
dore Dewey. The courtesy was brutal
ly refused, and presently the poor fel
low excused himself and went down
with his crew. We learn from this
how cruel war Is. It destroys all man
ner of politeness, and substitutes death
for the amenities. And yet Commo
dore Dewey, ho far from being dropped
from the service, la promoted. No
wonder the Evening Poßt howls.
Young John C. Fromon*. who recent
ly acted as a pathfinder In Cuba of a
dark night, recalls the romantic cam
paign of flfty-aix. when his father wae
the first national candidate of the
brand-new Republican party. Colonel
Fremont had run away with and mar
ried Je«s!e. daughter of Senator Thos.
H. Benton. oth< rwlse known as Old
Bu.lion; and the lady accompanied
him on one of his expeditions overland
to California. One battle-cry of the
campaign was "Fremont and Jessie,"
and It was frequently remarked by Re
publicans, "We'll give 'em Jessie.
And. on the whole. If those of our wo
men who want to fight are serious, It
might be well to let Ym do It.
British foreign-trade returns nro not
as satisfactory as those of our own
country, and English Journals com
menting on this fact do not hesitate tc
say that the lack of demand from this
country Is being seriously noticed. The
export trade of the United Kingdom in
March this year was valued at £20,834.-
000, a decrease of 3.75 per cent, from
March a year ago. For the first three
months of the present year the export*
were more than £1.500,000 smaller than
In 1897 and £3.000,000 smaller than in
1896. * The Import trade, on the other
hand, shows an Increase, the higher
price of cereals being a not unimpor
tant factor in this latter result. Thr
total Imports for the first quarter ag
gregate £119.099,000, an Increase of £l.-
400,000 as compared with last year, said
to have been due almost entirely tc
the higher price of wheat and flour
imports.
According to latest mall summaries,
which are not refuted by later cables,
there Is not a country In Europe that
does not hold out the prospect of a
good wheat return, says San Franclscc
Commercial News. In England farm
er* feel confident, and In France a very
large and early yield Is looked for. All
the smaller producers make favorable
reports, and even Russia, regarding
which 60 many adverse reports and
surmises have been industriously and
persistently launched, comes to the fore
with a prospect that is particularly dis
couraging to tho extremists, who have
all along drawn and Insisted upon the
least favorable conclusions. The Ar
gentine is shipping freely, and there is
no prospect of an early shrinkage In
exports. India ha« not been releasing
wheat on so large a scale lately, but
there can be no question as to the ca
pacity of that country If crop reports
were anywhere near the facta.
The specie holdings of the sixty-font
National and State banks composing
tho Clearing-house Association of New
York, now amount to 91*9,402.800, of
which It was estimated but about l
par cent, or. approximately, 85.000.00 C
fa stiver. The remaining 9164.400.00 C
la tte greatest total of gold ever held
by the Naw York banks. Eleven of the
tanks have $107,175,300 of the total
gpada holdings, and one of them, the
IfiltPhtl City bank, baa nearly one
ffk ef tba total, and a greater
anasat than any single bank has ever

PUEBLO'S ANNUAL FESTIVAL.
A Wraith of llniorulnmnit Kittadlßf
Ovrr TUrrr Day* la July.
Pueblo, the second city In the state
of Colorado a** to ixipulatlon. aud the
greatest smelting renter In the coun
try. takes well-earned pride In Its an
nual festival known ns the Pageant of
States and Nations. Though this cus
tom is hut a year old, the enterprise
Ik of such a popular nature that the
entire southern i*ortlon of the s'tate
has taken an Interest In it. and Rocky
Ford, Colorado Springs. Denver and
fieveral other eltl»*s will Ik* represent
ed with floats. In Pueblo all the res
idents nre organized Into clubs of jh-o
ple having the same native state or
country. Thus there are the Pennsyl
vania club, the Missouri club, tie*
Germany club, tlie Italian club and
even the Chinese club. Each club
trl> s to outdo the other In the grand
eur of Its display, and the friendly ri
valry thus created results In flue ex
hibits. In addition to the clubs, there
is a central committee well supplied
i with funds which looks after the fir*
works, music and other sin-rial feat
ures.
The dates not for the pageant are
Sunday, Monday ami Tuesday, July
3. -1 and f». During the winter Just
over *hc Colorado Mineral Palace, the
rnos wonderful building «>f Its kind,
haw l**en completed, renovated and
surrounded by a park That will Is*
the srene of all the Indoor features of
the program. The pageaut opens Sun
day at 2:.'k> o’clock In the afternoon
with a fine red concert at the Mineral
Palace, and the national hymns will
Is* sung by choruses composed of na
tives of the several countries, accom
panied by several large brass bands
and stringed orchestras. For that
evening there will Im* amusements at
Mlnnoqua lake and other music about
town.
With sunrise Monday opens the real
old fashioned Fourth of July, the an
niversary of the day when the* llfM*rty
bell, from the belfry of Independence
hall at Philadelphia, proclaimed the
message that tin- Stars and Stripes
were supreme. With thousands of
men In th** flehl lighting for the honor
of old Glory it is not strange that the
patriotic citizens of Colorado have a
desire to celebrate the coming na
tional day with unusual enthusiasm.
A national solute will announce th**
da.w and then th*- fun begins In real
earnest. First thing on the program
Is a parade of all the bands, and that
will merge Into the Pageaut *»f States
and Nations, which forms at the Min
eral Palace at RrTIO a. in. This event
gives promise of a celebration that
will rival the Mardl Gras at New Ur
bans or th** Festival of Mountain and
Plain at Denver. No more need Is*
said. Monday* afternoon there will Is*
a display* of day fireworks, something
new in th** llehl of pyrotechnics. There
will Im* fireworks in the evening «»f
Hu* kind that make the heavens bril
liant with splendor, and tc* close th**
day a masked dance in front of the
grand stand.
But that will not close the program,
for on Tuesday there will Is* an iudus
trial display such as can only la* fur
nished by* the home <»f tlie Bessemer
stwl works, the Philadelphia smelter,
the Pueblo smelter. the Colorado
smelter, the Igannon foundry, tho Iron
City foundry and a score of other
plants which work day and night
converting the wealth «*f the Rocky
mountains Into commercial products.
With It all then* will Is* mush*. Tues
day afternoon the masked carnival
takes place. That eveulug the naval
combat will take place on Lake Min
tiequa. This lake Is three aud one
half miles in circumference and lms a
deptti of thirty foot. An entire fleet
of sldps have Im*oii built, und explo
sion of all these at th** grand climax
cannot help but remind the spectators
of the Spanish fleet after they met
Admiral Dewey In Manila harbor.
The program close* with dances at
both the Ink** pavilion and the Mineral
Palace. During th** pageant th** Ho
ver Wheel and Athletic Flub gives a
state bicycle meet at their track on
Lake avenue.
On account of the Immense crowds
assured, the Colorado Passenger As
sociation has made very low rates to
Pueblo for the celebration.

New York. June 17.—Savings batiks
depositors have been withdrawing a
great deal of money with which to buy
government bonds, but while th** sum
has been large In the aggregate it has
been evenly distributed and no com
plaints have been heard from the
banks.
It Is pointed out that the savings
banks deposits In New York stare
alone exceed $700,000,000.
It Is reported here that financial In
stitutions that want some of the bonds
and fear they will all Ik* gone before
their turn comes, are giving wads of
s7*oo each to their clerks. The clerks
are to buy the Iwnds and will turn
them over to the banks later. To-day
there was a line of buyers more than
a block long at the Wall Street sub
treasury.
Th* Big Wheat DttL
Chicago. June 17.—The tangled inter
ests of Joseph loiter have been swept
from the wheat pit. I*. I>. Armour Is
now in complete control and the final
settlement of the big wheat deal is only
a matter of detail.
All Lelter books and memoranda
have been transferred to the office* of
Armour, together with contracts and
bills of lading for 7,000,000 bushels of
cash wheat. Amour has begun to dis
pose of his large holdings.
The bankers now think that Letter's
losses, as they stand now, will not ex
ceed 82.000,000, while Lelter expects to
make quite a bit out of Armour's hand
ling.
The wheat market showed consider
able weakness this morning. Sales
were heavy, bat at general decrease*.
The project la discussed of building a
railroad which will extend entirely
«cross northern Sweden and Norway
from the northern *.wl of the Golf of
Finland northwest to Ofoteu on the At*

Arctic circle. It will connect through
Finland with the whole system of Bus

raised to their plan**.
'l'here ha> In-en a gfWHI deni of fr •
tlon lM*r\\ecn General Mlhm nml the
secretary of war from tin* In-glnulng.
a* I have frequently stated in these
dispatches, and then* was never more
than at present. The Alger plan In
brief 1* to molMillze 20.000 or 35.<»m
at Fernnndlnn. Florida, and ship
them to Form Rico from that jHdut tin
d**r command of Major General Cop
pi nger.
In the first place, there has l»een con
siderable objection to Coppinger. He -
a foreigner; In* N not a graduate of
West Point: In* was m't n citizen of tin*
l nited State* until he became a brlga
tiler general, nml even then took out
naturalization papers only for the pur
pose of joining tin* Loyal Legion; In*
Ik a Catholic, and It Is argued he
should not Ik* sent In command of
troops to a Catholic country like Porto
Rico. But General Coppinger ha
strong friend**, who contend that tin*
objections raised contain tin* very I*—:
reasons why he should Ik* selected. H«*
has the strong (Kicking of General
Miles and Adjutant General Corbin,
and, although wheu he was appointed
a brigadier general four or five years
ago. In* did not stand very high prof*-*
filonally, it is claimed at tho War De
partment no man In the list of depart
incut commanders has made a better
record than he. I: Is almost certain
that the President will ai.*oept the rec
ommendations of Miles axnl Corbin and
let Coppinger lead the Porto Rican ex
pedition.
General Miles, however, will not ul*
low himself to b< drawn into the rail
road fight, and has made a recommeu
dntion which, although it upset* the
plans of tin* War Department, seem*
to be practical and sensible. lie rec
ommends that'the.troop* and supplies
now at Tampa Ik* shipped from that
place, where temporary facilities have
been provided and the experience of
the Cuban orfped.tlon lias taught many
valuable lessons. He sees no n-aron
why these facilities should Im* aban
doned and the troops and supplies
transferred to another point simply for
the purpose «»f hauling them on nans*
jH»rtM. He suggests that the troops and
supplies at Jacksonville Ik* started
from Fernand I mi. those at Chicknmau
gn from Brunswick and thos** at
Washington from NcwjKirt News or
Baltimore or equally convenient in.rts.
General Miles argues that It Is use
less expense to take troops out of one
camp and establish them in another
unless they are to remain permanent
ly at the second place. Nothing can be
gained, for example, in taking troops
from Chlckaumuga to Fermi ndlna and
allowing them to remain there mitil
they nre ready to go to sea. He urges
that they Ik* retained nt Chlckauumga
until the transports are ready to re
ceive them, *o that they can march
alxmrd from the car* as soon as they
arrive. Nor does he see any advantage
In sending the entire expedition from a
single place. It will save a long and
ex pensive Journey to ship the troops
now at Washington from Newport
News or Baltimore instead of taking
them to Fernnndlnn or Tampa, and at
either of the former places better fa
cilities exist for handling men. live
stock nml supplies.
General Miles has been spending the
afternoon trying to convince Secretary
Alger of the advantages of his plan.
The President and Cabinet regard it
very favorably and It will probably be
adopted.
There Is no intention of sending a
fleet across the sea. The matter has
not even been seriously considered.
Several persons have suggested at dif
ferent times that it would be a g<>od
Idea to bombard Cadiz or some other
of the Spanish ports. The capture of
the Canary* Islands has also been ad
vocated In various quarters, but the
president thinks our army and navy
have plenty to do nearer home at pres
ent, and that they will he kept busy

SUNDAY AT CHICKAMAUGA.
Major 1‘arkhlll IIm* Arrived ami la In

ChickaJtinupn. <■?».. June 10.—To-day
was an except iounlly I m-xiutiftil day at
Camp Thomas. and a eool breeze eon
tiniiotis]y astir, made park life a de
light.
It was sipniflcantly a day of rest
among the soldiers. AH drills were
omitted and the Sabbath was generally
observed. Iu this respect, the day was
somewhat in contrast with many of its
predecessors. The chaplain* of the va
rious repl incuts It* Id services and the
V M. ('. A. and evangelical cohorts
were actively at work. The reverence
with which these services were listened
to and the general pood order which
prevailed amonp tlie camps were sip
niflcant of a hiph moral tone which
pervades the entire army.
The soldiers were forbidden to con
prepate at points of amusement and
practically all remained in camp, with
the exception of some who had permis
sion to spend the day ou I.ookout
mountain.
The effort of General Boynton and
the Goorpin authorities to restore order
at Lytle and rid the outskirts of pain
bllnp houses has been productive of
pood results. At Lytle to-day all sa
loons a ml pnmbllnp bouses were her
metically sealed.
Six hundred recruits for various rop
imonts arrived durinp the day. makitip
a total for three days of nearly 1.800.
TiitH the 10.000 more have reached the
park the dally arrivals promise to in
crease rapidly. Prominent amonp to
day's arrivals were the followinp:

WAR NOTES.
The Cadiz fleet Is sill! cruising along
the Spanish coast.
New Mexico will furnish fifty re
cruits for the cavalry regiment now
In Cuba.
The latest reports from Manila are
that the Insurgents nre still gaining
victories ami that the condition of the
clly is so critical that It wll fall
speedily after the American troops ar
rive.
A cable to the Herald from Berlin
says: "I am expressly authorized by
the foreign office to repent the assur
ances already given the rtilted States
government that (lermauy has no ob
ject in the ritillppines except the pro
tection of the lives and property of
the Germans, the Swiss and the Por
tuguese. Oermauy has absolutely no
Idea of Intervention.
According to estimates made by Ad
jutant General Corbin, the total num
ber of troops left at Tampa after the
sailing of the Santiago expedition ia In
the neighborhood of 23.0U0. At Jack-
Kinvllle it is estimated by the adjutant
general that there are about 0.000
men. This would make the entire
.strength of the forces most eligibly lo
cated for. embarkation to Porto Blco
32.000 men.
The big American liners, Paris and
New York, now converted Into the
auxiliary cruisers Yale and Harvard
of the Culled States navy, are to be
used as troop transports for the Puer
to Rican expedition. These Teasels are
now at Newport News receiving the
armament which was Intended for but
not placed upon them when they were
first ordered to sea. The use of the
Yale and Harvard In the new rapacity
has been decided upon owing to diffi
culty encountered in securing proner
troop ships for the Puerto Rican ex
pedition.
