OUR VICTORIES OVER SPAIN.
Senator Jones is Not Prepared to
Discuss the Results.

LITTLE ROCK (Ark.), July 31.-Sen-
ator james K. Jones left here tonight
for Washington. The Senator preferred
not to discuss too freely the disposition
Of Spanish dependencies conquered by
the United States, inasmuch as the ques-
ton is one that the Senate will have to
pass upon when a treaty is presented.
Yet he is so thoroughly an anti-expan-
sionist that he could not attempt to
deny that he is opposed to what the
British and part of the American press
term IAN imperial policy.
Il believe in the principle embodied
in the declaration of independence that
government must be by the consent Of
the governed said the Senator.
while it may be true the inhabitants
of the Spanish Islands are practically
savages and incapable of self-govern-
ment. as a matter of sentiment l would
not feel like seeing them continue under
the domination of Spain. But as 10

Secretary Alger is Fastening the prep
arations at Montauk Point for the re-
ception of the Fifth Army Corps, now
at Santiago.
Surgeon General Sternberg has just
dispatched Colonel Forwood, of his bu-
reau, to the site of the camp with in
StructionS to erect at once a hospital
capable of accommodating no less than
500 soldiers
General Shafter has been authorized
by a cablegram from Secretary Alger
to notify his soldiers of the good for
tune in store for them, in order that
the men may be cheered up to wait
with patience for their removal. This
cannot be effected Immediately, owing
to the condition of the men themselves.
The present plan is TO begin as soon
as possible the transportation to Mon
tauk Point of such Of the soldiers as
have recovered from the fever and
those who have not yet contracted it.
The sick must wait, for the physicians
say that the climatic change involved in
bringing them north would prove fatal
in many cases But the delay is not
likely to be extended
Surgeon General Sternberg says that
convalescence in fever Of a type as
mild as that at Santiago does not usu-
ally occupy more than ten days. al
though as the season runs on and the
virulence increases this period is great
ly extended. AS soon as that period

this work is already under considera-
tion and is likely to be adjusted very
satisfactory.
The Navy Department has concluded
that it can dispense with the four big
American line steamers formerly
known as New York, ST. Louis. ST
Paul and Paris, and the War Depart
ment has begun negotiations for char
tering them. Mr.. Groscom. the Presi-
dent of the line, will meet Colonel
Hecker in charge of the transporta-
ton tomorrow by appointment at the
War Department to make the neces-
sary arrangements by which the SOL
diers of the Fifth Corps can make flying
trips on these vessels from Cuba to the
north.
The War Department has corrected a
statement made yesterday as to the re-
markable casualties among the officers
of the Twenty fourth Infantry in con-
nection with the death of Captain
Dodge. What was meant to have been
stated was that every Captain of the
regiment has been either killed or in
capacitated by wounds or disease since
taking the field in the present cam
paign.

the news at second hand.
The only American ships known to
have been in the vicinity of Nuevitas
lately are the Prairie and Badger. The
latter captured three Spanish ships
coming out of Nuevitas harbor, and

American troops.
Senor Castillo will take the protest
to Washington.
La Lucha," commenting on the
above statement, says: we do not
know what effect the protest will pro-
duce on President Mckinley and his
Cabinet, but we hope it will not preju-
dice the General who gave the order,
because it cannot be supposed that
President Mckinley will try to weaken
the moral strength of the army chief
at the beginning of the campaign, nor
even indirectly the military authority
needful to all chiefs to whom are in
trusted the wars direction, and who on
the ground can better than any one
else appreciate the necessary DISPOSE
ton and measures to be dictated

Fever Among Americans.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 3l-6
p. m.--This afternoon many officers
from the American regiments outside
the village met at the palace for a pre-
liminary discussion of a proposal TO
found what would be known as the
Military Society of Santiago, the
members to be officers in the recent
campaign.

American Peace Terms Are Hard.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times" says: The
conflicting accounts of the American
peace terms, and a. suspicion that the
Washington Government was tempor-
izing in order to confront Spain with
the occupation OF Porto Rico and the
capitulation of Manila originally,
caused irritation and provoked strong
language, but it is now seen that the
suspicion was unfounded. The terms,
however, are regarded as very hard.
and the annexation of Porto Rico and
the repudiation of the colonial debt is
characterized as fiagrantly unjust.
Happily the question of the Philip
pines is reserved. and / am confident
that the more it is considered, the less
will America. be inclined TO annexation.

Two Important cases from the court

0f the government. One involved title
- the Chavex grant Of 10000 acres
IN New Mexico. made In 1925 by the
governor and departmental assembly
q the territory Of New Mexico while
Tie land was part OF the public do
main Of the republic OF Mexico. The
ousrt found that the grant was made
by olaciais without authority to issue
4. and therefore the title OF Martin d.
Hayes. claimant by mesue convcyances
through Chavez. Is not good as against
that Of the United States. The other
vas the case of Earl b. coe. involving
the title to the Algondones or Rodri-
gsez grant In Arizona. comprising A0.-
90 acres. Rodriguez claimed to have
Q patent or grant Issued In 1888 under
Q sale authorized by the officiais of the
State OF Sonora. Mexico. The court
found that. As In the other case, the
grant to Rodriguez was made without
authority and confirmed the title OF the
