Government's Disposal.

Washington, July 1.-The govern
ment is highly gratified at an offer re
ceived from the Chesapeake and Ohio

the fleet are the Rappahannock, the

IF SANTIAGO Is NOT SURREN-
DERED TODAY.
PROPOSITION TO SEND SPANISH ARMY
TO SPAIN

Washington, July 13.-While the long
expected fall OF Santiago did not take
place today, it is evident that the crisis
has been reached. Within the next TWEEN
Nyfour hours Santiago either will surren-
der or will receive such IA baptism of fire
as seldom falls to the lot OF besieged
town. III he refuses will open on him
ut II, noon, tomorrow with every gun
| have, and have the assistance of the
navy, who are ready to lombard the
city with thirteenth shells"
That is the program laid down 10y Gen
eral Shafter and is to be carried out to
Vt he letter.
THE GOVERNMENTS OFFER.
The public, in one of these kilograms
from General Miles, was given the first
notice that our government, in the
course of negotiations with General To-
raj, had offered 20 send the Spanish
forces in Santiago back to Spain. A few
days ago it was stated that the l'resi-
dent would iusist upon unconditional
surrender, but it appears that conditions
have been modified, ar indicated by Gen
cral Miles. This was done from N desire
q, avoid useless bloodshed, for General
Torafs army, removed to Spain would
b'. harmless to prevent our further oper-
aiions in Cuba, and would serve as good
apurpose as would be- the destruction of
the Spanish army.
Our government is also moved to
make this proposal to move the Spanish
forces to Spain through strong desire
To close up the operations at Santiago at
the es vst possible moment.
/fEl.Low FEVER CAUSES HASTE.
This desire has been materially
strei gthened by the appearance of yell
low fever in the American lines. 1t was
az IL ~ SulltoStu tHSil the llleil were l tli-
ing ill with malaria and climatic fever
so that the cases were reported as sim
pie suspicious. Now. however, comes
the final admission that they are genu-
ine yellow fever cases.
1T is expected by Shafter that the navy
will cooperate, and while Secretary
Long has received no direct advices on
thar point from Admiril Sampson, he full
lv crr,!its expectation.
R"Iuctuant as the War Department is
tHSaci ifice the many lives that might be
lost in an assault it is deemed the better
~ IIniicy To make it than allow the men to
rot away with fevers and other diseases
during the long period that would be re-
quirrd to perfect the reduction of the city
Am expectation is still entertained here
however, that the assault will be I'M
n crssary through Toraj's surrendering
before it begins.

COMMENTING upon the work of the
Democratic state convention, the
New York Sun says 'In Pennsyl-
vania a platform plank r%eaiirming
the principles of the Chicago plat
form and eXtolling Bryan as the
tribune of the people, offered by
the minority member of the com
Inittee, was rejected by II vote of 23S
to 1884; but George a. jerks, specifi
cally the Bryanite candidate for Gov
ernor, was nominated by 300 to 116
for Gordon, a gold Democrat. More
over, %absurdly enough, all of the Cor
don phalanx supported the rejected
Bryanite free silver plank, while the
jerks majority voted against it. This
was because the game of the jerks
delegates was to fight the campaign
on state issues solely. That is, the
majority simply played the trick OF
hiding away their Bryanite princi.
pies with II view to temporary eX.
%pediency."

that it is about time Alaol,d was or

there haye renewed interest in our
vast possessions. Hardly anyone

When the war is over and the spirit
of our people turns more to branch
ing out, naturally much attention
will be paid to this hitherto neglected

THE Scranton Tribune regards the
coal industry as the M calling for
the most energetic defense by those
who have become opulent in its pro
secution, and who owe all they have
and hope to have to IA continuance
of its activity. 1t places all other in
dustries in the anthracite region as
subsidiary to the one great interest.
1t asserts that Scranton will scarcely
participate at all in the coming big
revival of business throughout the
country, so long AS the great anthra-
cite fields are bottled up by the rail
way companies. And what applies
to Scranton applies equally to Shen-
audoah, and all other towns depend
ing for their prosperity on the coal
mines.
