ONE can easily find the guiding pur.
pose of the silver mine owners in their
contention for free coinage in the re-
port of Secretary of the Treasury Gage
The profits on coinage of silver by the
government for the year covered by
the report is not far from $4,000, 600.
Under the present system the govern
ment reaps this benefit Under tree
coinage the owners OF bullion would
secure it.
But this is not all. The government
limits the amount of silver coined.
Under free coinage the limit would be
fixed by the amount of bullion on hand.
1t is Nd wonder that the silver mine
owners were rampant for free oliver.
Fortunately their schemes have been
frustrated. -Manitowoc Pilot.

YOUR anti expansionists' argument
of inconsistency is a good one. How
they used to drill into us the sturdy
virtues of our torefathers with tales of
such men as Franklin and Adams
walking miles, or riding hundreds of
miles in an old numbering coach,
through all kinds of roads and weather,
to attend to the slightest duties pf
state. But now our leading statesmen
ride in a railroad train and maybe on a
pass. Oh, frightful inconsistency!

IT would seem that French diplo-

many shocks of late. Not long ago they
were complaining of the Americans lack

France and some of the other European
powers experienced several such shocks
in the course of coming events.

THOSE who SO persistently urge the
inconsistency of our new policy with the
traditions of our country either harbor
the mistaken thought that to adopt a
colonial policy we must resort to the
methods of George III and Spain, or
else they reduce the heroic struggle of

and confess Republican government a
failure.

The other side .

| At the request of Mr.. Sieg the rep
resentative of the News called at the
factory this afternoon and met the
managers of the company. They all
stated that they had very little to say
in regard to theGstrike, as they did not
believe shat it was the desire of the
men to strike, but they had been
caused to strike in sympathy with two
polishers who had been discharged on
Tuesday. Mr.. Sieg said that some
trouble had been caused by the
appointment of Mr.. March as foreman,
but that his actions had been based on
his instructions from the head office.
Mr.. March said that but one cut in
wages had been made since he had
been superintendent, and this cut was
made in order that one of the workmen
might be able to hold his position in
the shop in another department until
material arrived to keep him employed
at his old work.
Mr.. Thomson stated that no cut
had been made, nor would be made
until the men had been notified OF it
in advance The wages now being
paid are higher than those paid by any
of our competitors, and we are ready
to meet any scale presented by any
laborer as the scale of factories turning
out product similar to the Windsor
bicycle, but we cannot and will not pay
the old Sieg scale. .....
All the men refused to say anything
against their employees, but stated
that the most kindly relations had al
ways existed between the men and the
head officials. LEXIS" @ 9<"@ I'D"
q At the request of Mr.. Sieg the RE-
porter examined the pay roll of the
shops for last Tuesday and with the
exception of six boys who received a
weekly pay of six dollars the wages
ran from $3.50 to 1915 a day. The
managers have made arrangements to
pay off all employees on Thursday, but
all men will be taken back who apply
in person.
The strike coming at this time is
greatly to be regretted and it is to be
hoped that speedy settlement of the
strike can be made on basis satisfac
tory to both managers and employees.

Damp Weather Causes Large Amount of
Plaster to Fall.
The beautiful new decorations on
the ceilings of st. George church were
badly damaged on Tuesday morning
by the falling of a large amount of the
plastering of the ceiling and the acct
dent is more to be regretted because
it will probably delay the completion
of the work until early spring.
The accident happened when no one
was in the church, and in this manner
no ore was injured by the falling
plaster. The falling of the plastering
is said to be the result of the church
being left open so much during the
recent damp weather.

Washington, July lathe first
chapter in the land campaign OF
the United States against Spain
closed to-day, when the Spanish
colors gave place over Santiago 10
the American flag.
Next will follow the trensporta-
ton of the Spanish troops back to
their native land and the capture
of the island of Porto Rico, unless
peace soon intervenes.
The siege of Santiago had lasted
two weeks and was remarkable in
many respects, and in none more
than the heavy percentage of loss
through death wounds or sickness
of the soldiers and sailors engaged
on both sides.
Looking back over the record OF
these two weeks, it is seen that
great ironclad squadron has been
destroyed, that nearly a thousand
Spanish sailors have been drowned
or killed by shell or flame, and that
an untold number Of Spanish SOL
diers have died in the trenches OF
Santiago.
On the other hand about $50 Amer
lean soldiers have been killed and
in round numbers 1000 or more
have been sent to the hospitals
from wounds, fevers and other
ailments.
Our fleet had a remarkable ex-
emption from disaster in the many
engagements it has had with the
forts at the entrance of the harbor
and with the Spanish squadron.
Next is Porto Rico" said Sec
rotary Alger, after receiving news
of Santiago's formal surrender.
"And then, if need be, Havana"
The Secretary was in excellent
spirits. He has been more anxious
than he dared to show as to the
condition of our sick soldiers, and
looked with apprehension upon the
possibility of prolongation of the
struggle in the unhealthy valley of
Santiago.
The Secretary said that the Porto
Rican expedition would go forward
Immediately. 1t will comprise new
men entirely. The warriors in the
trenches before Santiago have dis
tinguished themselves, and it is not
deemed prudent to bring them into
unnecessary contact with new
troops in view of the danger of
spreading contagion.
The sick soldiers will be nursed
back to health and brought to the
United States as soon as they can
be safely removed. Immune regi-
ments will be ordered to Santiago
to garrison the town, and, as
stated in these dispatches yester-
day, two of these regiments are al
ready under orders to proceed.

General Wheeler's Headquarters,
Before Santiago de Cuba, July -,
p. m, via Kingston, Jamaica,
July IA, 1870 p. m.-White flags
still flutter over the opposing
lines. The truce has been extended
until tomorrow noon and negotia-
tions looking to the surrender Of
Santiago are proceeding. Both
sides have yielded somewhat. Gen.
Toral, the Spanish commander,
realizes the hopelessness of further
resistance, and the American COM
mander, General Shafter, is in
clined to reduce the harshness OF
the terms which he at first pro-
posed to impose upon the enemy.
1t appears that on Monday Gen.
Shafter did not again demand the
unconditional surrender which
Gen. Toral had refused on Sunday,
but offered, as an alternative prop
osition 10 accept the capitulation OF
the army and transport the Spanish
officers and troops to Spain, they
to leave all their arms behind and
he to accept their parole.
1t was this proposition which
Gen. Toral declined yesterday.
This morning 1t was decided TO
hold personal interview with
Gen. Toral Gen. Miles and his
staff, who got no further than Gen.
Skaters headquarters last night,
accompanied by Gen. Shafter and
his staff, rode out to the front
shortly before o'clock under flag
of truce. A request for a personal
interview with the Spanish COM
mander-in-chief was made and ac-
coded to, and at about Q o'clock
Gen. Miles, Gen. Shafter, Gen.
Wheeler, Gen. Gilmour, Col Morse,
Captain Wiley and Col. Maus rode
up, passed over our entertainments
and went down into the valley be-
yond. They were met by Gen.
Toral and his chief Of staff, under
a spreading mango tree, at the bot
tom Of the valley about half way
between the lines. The interview
that followed lasted an hour.
The situation was placed frankly
before Gen. Toral and he was Of
fered the alternative OF being sent
home with his garrison or leaving
Santiago province. The only con-
dition imposed being that he
should not destroy the existing for
tifications and should leave his
arms behind This latter condition
the Spanish General, who does not
speak English, explained through
his interpreter. was impossible. He
said the laws Of Spain gave a gen.
eral no discretion. He might aban-
don a place when he found ii un-
tenable. but he could not leave
his arms behind without subject
ing himself to the penalty OF being
courtmartialed and shot His gov
eminent, he said, had granted him
permission to evacuate Santiago.
That was all. Further than that,
he was powerless to go.

Torals remarks all becia
realization that he could nc
out long. When Gem Shafter ex-
planned that our reinforcements
were coming up, that he was COM
pletely surrounded and that new
batteries We're being posted, Gen.
Toral simply shrugged his Shout
ders.
Il am but subordinate" said
he, "and / obey my government
If it is necessary we can die at our
posts"
Gen. Toral is a man of sixty
years OF age, with a strong, rugged
face and fine soldierly bearing His
brave words inspired a feeling of
respect and admiration in the
hearts Of his adversaries. Never
theless the Spanish generals anx-
iety TO avoid further sacrifice of
life In his command was manifest
and he did not hesitate to ask for
time to communicate the situation
to Madrid, although he obviously
shook his head when he spoke OF
the probable response.
In the course of an interview
Gen. Toral said the bombardment
of Sunday and Monday had done
little damage. He admitte.th that
shells from the guns Of q ~
had destroyed four houseS
asserted that only half L.
dfers of the garriyon nan been In
jured. He also volunteered the In
formation when Gen. Miles gallant
ly inquired after Gen. Linareg
condition, that the latter would
probably have to undergo the am
putation of his left arm at the
shoulder.
Gen. Miles at the interview did
not attempt TO assume the direction
OF the negotiations, but as general
of the United States army he
youched for the conditions Gem
Shafter offered. Upon the return
OF our commanders to the Amer1-l
can lines an important consulta1
ton was held at Gen. Wheeler

expected to be his main depend
ence.
The size of the expedition will de-
pend upon Gen. Miles's wishes, al
though it is believed that $4,000
men will be sufficient for the pur-
pose.
At San Juan the navy will be Of
greater assistance than it was at
Santiago, owing to the possibility
of approaching the town more
closely without risking contact
with mines.
Gen. Brooke is now on his way
to Washington by direction of Sec
rotary Alger, so that he will be in
a position to make his views known
to the department. The experience
gained in dispatching Skaters ex-
petition, it is expected, will aid
the officials in their determination
to make short work of the Porto
Rican affair.
There will be plenty of transports
available for the expedition as the
government has devised other
means of removing the Spaniards
captured at Santiago to Spain than
by carrying them on these trans
ports.
That the navy is ready to do its
share at short notice goes without
saying.
Porto Rico is not expected to Of
fer a very formidable resistance.
1t is believed that the mora effect
of to-day's surrender at Santiago
will be to discourage the defenders
of San Juan. There is, however,
always the prospect that peace may
ensue before hostilities have prog
ressed against SPANS easternmost
West India island.
Rumors were afloat this after
noon to the effect that the Spanish
government had at last made over
lures in that direction, but their
basis probably was the current be-
lief that one more reverse to the
Spanish arms would be sufficient
to compel the Spanish government
to sue for peace and this reverse
was furnished by the surrender of
Torars army.
The territory surrendered to us
by Gen. Toral makes about 5000
square miles. The Spanish soldiers
to be sent to Spain is estimated at
10000 men.
Major Hopkins. the military aide
to Secretary Alger, this afternoon
had spread before him huge map
of Cuba, showing the surrendered
zone turned over to the American
troops. The line begins at Ascer-
raderos, about fifteen miles west
OF Santiago harbor, and then runs
a-'o north about twenty-five miles
to Palma Soriana Had the line
continued due north it would have
passed west of Holguin, thus TAX
ing the Spanish garrison at that
point Evidently Gen. Toral wished
to avoid the inclusion OF Holguin,
