ip~!on Government may see fit. In that
cent Germany, IL is said, will undoubt-
edly Insist that she shall have a share
in the disposition OF the Philippines.
AS to the question of the United States
retaining Manila and small portion of
adjacent territory as coaling station, IT
is believed here that Germany will find
grounds for protest in the fact that, in
holding Manila. the port having the bulk
of the Philippines trade. and not assum-
ing control over the rest of the Island Of
Luzon and the group, this country leaves
the islands without a settled form of
government, thus leaving the way clear
for continual disturbances. which might
result in Interference by great powers
and perhaps bring on war involving
most of Europe.
AS most of the Manila trade is con-
trolled by Germans, an arrangement that
would leave the United States in possess
sion of the only great shipping point
without undertaking TO be responsible for
the maintenance OF order elsewhere does
not. 1t is said, find favor at Berlin.

HOSPITAL SHIPS SAILS.
No Time Lost In Sending Help for
the Wounded.

"A ship bearing army surgeons and med
ical supplies is already on its way 70
Cuba. the War Department having been
informed that the steamer Relief left
New York yesterday afternoon. It was
ordered that the ship should stop at Nor
folk where she is expected to arrive this
morning TO take on board number of
surgeons. It was planned also that Sur
geon General sternberg. OF the Army.
should go TO Norfolk 10 meet the steamer
and provide for her sailing with abundant
supplies for the wounded of Skaters
army. The full text of the dispatch from
Gen. Shafter this morning, which caused
the hasty preparations for sending hos
pital ship to Santiago is given below:
Secretary OF War, Washington:
fear have underestimated casualties. A large
and thoroughly equipped hospital ship should
be here at once. Chief surgeon reports ne
bring launch and boats. TO transfer from
sHAFTER.
The message seems to have been in
terrupted in transmission. for it evidently
lacks two or three words to make the
final sentence complete.
Officials worked as If ;heir own brothers
were among the wounded on the field.
The ship will carry full supply of RENE
dies and appliances used in the army and
about forty surgeons, who. with the
eighty or more medical officers already
with the corps at Santiago, viii probably
be able to attend to all needs of the suf-
fering soldiers.
II is presumed by the Administration
that much distress exists in the army on
account of the terrific heat and that many
prostra tions have occurred. These latter
call for special remedies and IL is prob
able that the drain on the supply orig
inally carried with Skaters corps has
been severe and constant The anxiety
OF the Administration on account of the
heavy losses in the attacking force al
Santiago viii. IL possible, still further
hasten the dispatch OF re-enforcements
from the Florida coast.
Gen. Shafter assured the War Depart
ment Friday night that a number of
transports sent to Santiago with the first
expedition would return 10 Tampa imme-
diately. As soon as these arrive they will
be loaded with troops and supplies now
waiting at Tampa. and the re-enforce-
ments will be sent forward with all speed
Although keen anxiety is felt by every
member of the Administration. few are
willing TO admit the possibility that the
American arms have met with serious
| reverses at Santiago In the absence of
official dispatches giving details of the
two days fighting. the officials are un-
! willing 10 believe that chances for an
| early and successful conclusion of the
Santiago campaign are not bright.
Gen Miles was in army headquarters all
day. wearing for the first time in Wash
ington since the war broke out the full
| uniform of the general commanding the
army Late this afternoon he said that
so far as the official dispatches indicated
there was good reason for encouragement.
