MosT of the sensational charges of mis-
conduct in connection with the war with
Spain are generated in the office of the
New York World. During the war of
the rebellion the government found it
necessary to suppress that newspaper,
and, under its present management, the
World has made itself a stencil in the
nostrils of every self-respecting news
paper man.

The statement that there is upwards
of s305, 100000 of available cash in the
treasury, and gold reserve of over SPA
100000, will start up again the old howl
about the danger of a surplus. The
only thing necessary TO change the
surplus into deficit at any time, will be
the placing in power of democratic
administration, and the enactment of a
democratic tariff.

BEFORE the committee investigating
the war department, General Graham
testified that he thought that the criti-
cisms of citizens concerning the conduct
of the war, were due to the people who
meddled, without sufficient information
to enable them to speak wisely. General
Graham was right, and the American
people are now coming to see that the
criticisms were for political effect only,
and not founded on facts. The war was
the most successfully conducted of any
war of modern times.

Aspirant for Honors.

Special to the Register
steubenville. Ohio, July 14-H. H.
McFadden, editor of the Steubenville
Gazette, who made such a gallant race
for Congress in 1896, has the following
editorial in the Gazette to-day in which
his individual views are given about
the proposal Of his name as a candidate
this year:
Long ago Mr.. McFadden announced
that if there should be contest for the
nomination he would not be in any
body's road, as he would not contest
for that which he thought he had fair
ly earned by his campaign of 1896. If
the Democratic party Of the district,
or any considerable part Of 1t, is Of
other opinion, then Mr.. McFadden is
neither in the lead nor in any sense a
candidate, and the party may nominate
Judge briggs, or any other man deem
ed the strongest, without contest so far
as the free silver candidate of 1896 iS
concerned"

Of this surrendered tract u about
ITO miles and the extreme width
about so miles. tapering to less
width, making in all 5000 square
miles.
1t is a rugged, mountainous
country with very few towns Of
any size. Santiago with it's fine
harbor is the main point, while
Guantanamo is second in import
ance.
M. H. ]. Allen, of Kansas City,
who had just come from Santiago,
was with Secretary Alger during the
afternoon and gave him some in
terestirg details as to the charac-
ter of the country now surrender
ed to our troops. He said the
country was SO wild and rocky that
it afforded practically no camping
ground for a considerable number
of troops, and in his opinion there
was not point in this sweep of
country suitable as base of oper-
ations for an army.
Except the Spanish force at San
tiago numbering about 10000 men,
MIR. Allen says there are no Span
ish troops within the surrounding
zone, as it has been overrun by
Garcia forces. The Spanish gar
risons are at Manzanillo and Hol-
gum, to the west of the surrender
ed zone. Mr.. Allen says these
Spanish garrisons do not exceed
5000 men. This, he says, is Gen.
Garcia's estimate. MI. Allen left
Santiago only last Saturday. At
that time, he says, there were two
suspicious cases thought to be yell
low fever In the hospital at Stb-
oney.
The Navy Department had not
heard up to close of Office hours to
what extent the American fleet was
participating in the Spanish sur
render. With Santiago in our
hands, the way Will be clear for
Admiral Simpsons feet to enter
the harbor and proceed UP to the
wharveS as soon as the torpedOes
and mines at the harbor and en-
trance are removed. The fortifica-
lions of Moro Castle, Socapa,
Cayo Smith and others are includ-
ed in the surrendered zone. The
possession of these fine fortresses,
particularly MORO Castle, will at
ford valuable garrison points for
large number of men.
Great attention will now be given
to the care of our sick and fever
stricken soldiers on the island.
Secretary Alger IS anxious to bring
the entire army back as soon as it
can be done with safety to the men
themselves and without jeopardy
to the other troops in Florida and
to the general public. The active
preparations made to deal with the
emergency are such that 1t is felt
the question of disease oan be COPIED
with successfully, now that the mill
itary situation has been simpM-
fed.
In the matter of transports the
department is fully prepared for
the next move.
The plan of the War Depart
ment for returning the surrendered
army of Gen. Toral to Spain will
not necessitate the use of Ameri-
can vessels. 1t Is the purpose Of
the department to ask for propos-
ais from all steamship companies
which desire to compete for trans
porting the Spanish troops to
Spain and the most advantageous
bid will be accepted. The advices
of Gen. Shafter state that the num-
Der Of Spanish prisoners will be
between $4,000 and $4,000.
