THE republican Tucson Star is not pleased with the action of the demo. cratic county central committee of Co- chise. The committee is composed of representative gentlemen of the demo- cratic party, chosen by the representa- tive people of Cochise, whose actions are heartily and unreservedly en- dorsed by the rank and file of the party who protect the peoples interests and keep such men as "Pinhead" Hughes in the slough of despond, guessing if their noses will ever be able to protrudo the slime which keeps their filthy carcasses from view of decency. Cochise county has managed To, these many years to care for her own, without consulting the republican Tucson Star and it's horde of boodlers as to who shall up- hold the public's interest. Whether our judgment has been good or not can best be determined by the fact that Mark Smith has always been endorsed, has been nominated and elected, and has demonstrated his efficiency and in- tegrity by bootiug such men "Pin- head" Hughes out of the democratic wigwam. No wonder that the Tucson Star is not satisfied with Cochise de- mocracy. Aspersions from the Star source are but reflections of integrity upon the Cochise county democratic cen tral COL mittee.

"riNHEAD" huGHEs is doing cod work tor the people by attracting atten- ton to Mark Smi9h's superior ability as an attorney. In yhis mad endeavor to behttle gentleman who has obeyed the behests of the people, cleansed his skiits and endeared himself to the pub lie by reading out of the Democratic rarty one of the most degenerate of de generate. This double-dealing syco- rhant, referring to the acts of conscien. ti"us attorney, says:
 "It was during session of congress, when Smith was delegate, drawing his salary and sworn to uphold the constitu- tion and jaws of the United States, that he voluntarily absented himself from his seat in congress 10 defend the notorious Wham robbers, who shot down squad of |. S. soldiers and robbed II. z. Pay mater Wham of $50, ,00O."
 Taking it for granted that Mir. Smith did do all as attributed by "Pinhead" Hughes, those who are personally ac- quainted with the two men will uphold the man who never swerved from duty. It is sufficient in the eye of the public that Mir. Smith did not sell his clien ts, but heinz the able attorney that he is. acquitted. them of heinous offense. Mir. Smith was "sworn to uphold the constitution and laws of the United States" But how about the judge be- fore whom this case was tried? Was c not superior in his official capacity to Mark Smith? Who are the jury who sat upon the case and rendered an "im- partial verdict?" How is it that the people have time and time again heart fly endorsed the gentleman whom this -pigmy would besmirch did he carry suf! ficient weight? Such poisonous darts from the Tucson Star are relished in.the houshold of decency ;they are calculated fo purify public sentiment; to place people upon their guard against such shysters as "Pinhead" Hughes who, in order that he might be heard, would not hesitate to assassinate character. One who would palm off "fallen dove" upon an innocent brother is capable of stabbing gentleman in the back. And if this man "Pinhead" Hughes persists in imposing himself i. decsncy's circle and criticising his worthies, THE ORB's searchlight will reveal to the people of Arizona a state of affairs that even "Pinhead" Hughes will blush to recog- nize as facts. Public servants should be criticised, but the crltizism should come from those who are above re- proach; not from men who have been weighed and found wanting in every scale that judges decency, in every bal ance that weighs manhood. It is indeed a scaly scale that would leave anything on "Pinhead's" side. As the campaign progresses THE ORB will show up some of the deceptions of this republican-dem- ocratic Tucson Star.

Paxsrpssr MCKINLEY should not wal,

PHEsIDBNT MCKINLEY should not wait for congressional investigation of the war department before removing Alger. It Is his plain duty to do it now. He has paid whatever political debt he owed this person, and one would cup. pose that Alger must have paid his political debts to his supporters in con- tracts and in appointments. At all events, the country has had all of Alger that 1t can stand, and enough to swamp the administration that is responsible for him. From the start to the close |, tho arrangement of the soldiers of the United States, regulars just like volun- seers, has been one story of conspicu. susiy bad management and inhuman Incompetence. It makes no difference what shall be discovered in detail by an investigation, the incompetence of the war department is absolute in every branch, and the head of it is responsi- ble for it. Mir. Mckinley is an accom-. plice in the murder of our soldiers so lDns as he retains this unworthy person.

Secretary Alger declares that he "is distressed more than he can say" because of the sufferings of the soldiers at Santiago. His distress will not bring back the dead, nor satisfy the living victims of political war making. He could do nothing that would go so far to quiet just public indignation as to resign his place in the cabinet and relieve the president of the imputation of condoning his mistakes and misdoings.

This war has, indeed, emphasized the fact that it is no less than wicked folly to appoint man, as reward for polit- ical services, to place he is unfit to fill.

THE SICK AT PORTO RICO.
Distribution OF Supplies Sent to the Sick
Soldiers by the National Relief
Commission.

Philadelphia, Aug. Sl.-The yacht
May, which arrived in this city to-day
from Porto Rico via Newport News,
brought the report of the representa-
tives of the national relief committee
who went to Porto Rico to superintend
the distribution of the supplies sent to
the sick soldiers by the commission.
After giving details of the distribution
of the supplies, the report says:
In almost every instance we found army SUR
geons most anxious to have at their DISPOSE
tion money for the purchase of needed lux
uries for the sick, such as fresh milk, ice (when
obtainable) and canned goods, and we are hap
Ply to report that in every case we have been
able to meet the demands made upon us, There
are about 10000 American soldiers in Porto
Rico and on the day Of our departure, August
%, there were over 900 men on the sick list
or this number one-half were cases requiring
prompt and careful treatment There was q
large number Of typhoid cases, but on the 22d
inst this disease was not on the increase, a
fact which indicates that the malady had been
carried from the camp at home and is not in
digenous to Porto Rico. However, there was a
very large increase in diarrhoea, dysentery,
dengue or breakbone fever, and even malarial
disorders, due to the hot unhealthy rainy sea-
son, just commencing, which causes the water
supply to be filled with malarial germs from
constant decaying vegetation

Washington, Aug. S1.-When Gen.
Miles returns to Washington he will
be asked for an explanation of recent
interviews appearing and the publica-
ton of certain dispatches which the
war department has not made public.
Whether the investigation will take
the course of military court of in
euiry or of private interview with
the president, the secretary of war
and Gen. Miles remains to be seen.
Until the arrival of Gen. Miles the
war department will not discuss the
matter. Secretary Alger says that
the department will not enter into
any controversy with its subordinates
and he does not propose to discuss
matters affecting Gen. Miles during
his absence.

MANY SPANIARDS LOST.
Nine Hundred Endeavor to Escape on
Board Three Transports and the Vessels
Founder with All on Board.

Tacoma, WASH, Aug. 1.-The Hong
Kong daily press is authority for the
statement that 900 Spaniards, includ-
ing 16 priests, lost their lives when
the Spanish gunboat Leyte was cap
tured by a vessel belonging to Admiral
Dewey's squadron. The Leyte had
been stationed at an adjoining island.
The insurgents, who were numerous
and aggressive, were gaining ground
rapidly, causing the 900 Spaniards to
board three sailing vessels in an en-
deavor to escape from possible mas
sacre. The Hong Kong press subse-
quently caused careful inquiries to be
made, finally reaching the conclusion
that the vessels foundered with all on
board in storm which came up.
