Shatter was instructed br a special cablegram to cheer up the soldiers by publicly informing them of Mis determination. It was rather h question of ways of means thau lack i,( intention to remove this force that caused delay. As far as removing the troops hack into the uiountalus was concerned (the question which seems to have precipitated the iudiuatlon meeting among the American com manders at Santiago! it was learned tliat the medical department here made no such recommendation. All that it had to say <>u this subject was that if ue troops must remain near Santiago, xu effort should he made to remove tlieui at once »•* some healthier camp iag ground.

Malarial fever, it Is stated. i no more protection against the yel utt fever than would be a raze of imusles against smallpox, while the 'earful debility resulting from the naJariaJ fever would certainly tend to makefile victim an especial mark for elkiwjaek. The "round robin" above t'ferred to was an appeal signed by lithe brigade -ind division command rs at Santiago and addressed to Hen.

Expected Thai Sputa Will Sab- mlt one. Washington, Aug. ff.-There was an expectation at the state department yesterday that perhaps toward the close of the afternoon some word might be received from Spain through the I* rench ambassador in reply to the president’s deliverance VVeduesday upon the subject of peace conditions. This expectation was based upon the fact that the terms themselves had not been modified in any essential con dition. so that there was uo necessity to prolong discussion by the Spanish cabinet, which was supiiosed to have thoroughly considered this matter he fore rendering the first reply. How ex er. it was perceived from the news dispatches that the Madrid cabinet meeting had been inconclusive, so tt was expected that nothing deiiuite could be know’ll by noon at the earli est. There Is a confident belief among administration officials that the Span ish cabinet may accept the terms lain down by the president and not delay, lint it may be opposed by the Spanish foreign policy, which would uot coun tenance acceptance without a show of resistance in a hope of a change of the terms. This, of course, cannot l>e accomplished, and the French ambas sador is well aware of that fact; un questionably lie lias so informed the Spauish cabinet, and tin* government is no doubt preparing itself to meet tlie criticism of its political opponents by submitting a counter proposition through M. Ctttubon. While negotia tions are going on. war preparations are also l>Hng made. Hen. Randall was assigned only yesterday to com mand tlie military camp at Montauk I’olnt. Navy department officials also insist that uo change lias been made in the orders to the Watson expedition. Indeed, there now seems to be evident a. purpose to dispatch this flue squad ron to European waters regardless of the termination of the war. the idea being tliat tlie splendid display which would be made by tlie American ships would have a beneficial effect in in spiring respect for our naval strength. NOW TKDIIV, HK GOOD. Si*cri*tnrv Al»t**r Sharply Hrlml.t*. tilt* Culiinrl of tht* Huukli Rider*. Washington, Aug. o.—The following correspondence lias passed between Col. Roosevelt and Secretary Alger; Santiago, July 23. My Dear Mr. Secretary; I am writing with the knowledge and approval of Hen. Wheeler. We earnestly hope that you will send us—most of tlie regulars, and at any race tlie cavalry division, in ch.ding the rough riders, who are as good as any regulars, and three times as good as any state troops, to IVirto Rico. There are 1,800 effective meu in this division; if those who were left behind were joined to them, we could land at Porto Rico, in this cavalry di vision. clost* to 4,000 men. who would be worth, easily, any 10.R00 national guard armed with black powder. Springtlelds or any other archaic weap ons. Very respectfully, —Theodore Roosevelt. The following reply lias been cabled to Col. Roosevelt: Your letter of tlie 28d is received. The regular army, the volunteer army and the rough riders have done well, but I suggest that unless you want to spoil tlie effects and glory of your vic tory. you make no invidious compari sons. The rough riders are no better than other volunteers. They had an advantage in their arms, for which they ought to be very grateful. U. A. Alger, Secretary of War. HUDSON UIKKKKD.

Santiago, Cuba. Aug. 7.—Manznuillo. blockaded by the Hist and Hornet, with the wrecks of six gunboats and three large merchant vessels strung along the beach, and.with the insur gents under Salvador Rios pressing the city closely from the east. Is anxious to surrender to the American troops. Negotiations to this end have already been started aud Commander Lucien Young, of the Hist, sent a communication to Admiral Sampson suggesting that another demonstration be made before Manzanillo by u part of the American fleet, to pavev tlie way to the city’s surrender. Col. San cliez Pirrou, tlie Spanish governor of Manzanillo, is cut off from all com munication. he has only 2,000 troops, n any of whom are sick, and he recog nizes tlie futility of further defense. He is ready to surrender Manzanillo unconditionally, provided the Ameri can fleet will make a demonstration before tlie city of such force as to save him from being court martialed for surrendering. "I'liist information was obtained by a New York Herald correspondent who was aboard the vessel sent under flag of truce to remove, tlie families aud baggage of Hen. Baca no’s office. In both the town and harbor could be seen the terrible effect of the bom bardment by the American vessels Against a wooden pier lay the steam ship Jose Harem, only her smokestack, boiler and a tangled, twisted iron post remaining visible. This vessel had been gutted by tire. The Purissinia Concepcion is on tlie beach a hundred yards to the south, while a little fur ther out, witli only the top of the fuu nel and masts visible above the water, is the Hloria. This vessel had been Filled With Explosives, set a tire and allowed to drift out of tbe harbor, ivn tlie hope tliat an Ameri can ship would take it alongside and be blown up when tin* Hloria was de stroyed. To the disappointment of the Spaniards no American vessel took the bait aud the Gloria was sunk alone. The pontoon Maria and the most for midable water battery in the harbor was burned aud is now’ a charred mass. Tlie gunboats Cuba, Espaguola, Guantanamo. Estrella, d’Legado, Pa rego and Seatiuella were all sunk or beached in front of the town. Little damage was done in Manzanillo by the shots from the American vessels. All of the Spanish soldiers in Manzanillo envy their comrades in Santiago, who are destined to return to Spain. They hope to surrender to the Americans, and declare that they will not give up their arms to tlie Cubans, believing tliat a massacre and a sacking of the town would follow. Three hundred Spanish guerrillas, commanded by Orjau, with three small field pieces, are operating against the insurgents in the vicinity of Santa Cruz. KIOTING WOOimOHKKRI Striker* nl O»hko*li Reauuie L»n* lew* Proceed Inu*. Oshkosh, Wis., Aug. 7.—Rioting, has been resumed by tlie striking wood workers here on account of the sash and door men trying to run their plants with non-union labor. At the Morgan plant hist night a crowd of 1,000 strikers and sympathizers gath ered to abuse and maltreat non-union workmen as they left the mill. Chief Weisbrod, with a force of police, suc ceeded in preserving a semblance of order until darkness set in, when a serious onslaught on the police was made in which several officers received bruises and cuts, and the chief was brought to his knees by a stone strik ing him above the heart. Several shots were fired in the air and the po lice finally w ithdrew. At <5 o’clock in the morning the mob again congre gated and clubbed and stoned work men trying to reach the Morgan mill. Thirty policemen were dispatched to reinforce the small squad on duty there, but when the police arrived the crowd set on them with sticks and stones in a vicious manner. The police used their clubs freely, and the street was finally cleared at the expense of many broken heads and a score of ar rests made, including nine of the wo men ringleaders. The non union crew* finally reached the mill under police protection and the factory was started up with a strong force of police to keep the streets clear around the plant. The strikers are far froinAiub dued. however, and more trouble is promised. Qur a of Denmark'* Health. Loodnu, Aug. 7.—The health of the queen of Denmark Is fairly satisfac tory.

The farmers are so anxious to see their fine crops safe from possible bail storms that they are cutting many pieces of wheat comparatively green. Those who have enough horses to make shifts are working their binders and headers long into the night.

Water C'onteat. Sturgia. S. D.—The cane of Furwell et. al. va. the Sturgis Water company was coinim-nceil in this <-ity at an ad journed session of the circuit court. This is an action wherein Farwell et al. are farmers who seek to estop the water company from changing the na tural course of a stream, or by means of a dam carrying water that would, if unhampered, run across or rise on the land of fthe plaintiffs. It is sup posed the case will last the entire week. There are several similar cases in the state and a great deal of interest is manifested over the outcome. The case has been in the courts for two years, and lust winter the supreme court remanded it back for a new trial. If the water company loses, it will be a severe blow to it, and perhaps cause it to sro out of business. Si'll I < T t KNSOHSIIIP. Spit nl*li Pnper* Not Allowed to Mfn- tlon Peace \»*»roH:itioii*.
