OUR FOREIGN POLICY
A CONVENTION TO DISCUSS 1T.
The Civic Federation of Chicago Initiates
an Important Movcmrnt-Mnny Promi
ncnt Men Sign the Call.

Chicago, July 2i.-The Civic Fedora
tIon OF Chicago tonight gave out n call
for national conference, to be held nt
Saratoga Springs, New York. August
/ 10Th and Goth, to discuss the future
foreign policy of the United States.
The call is signed by over 1000 men
in every state In the Union. 1t says:
1.-The undersigned deem 1t necessary
| that a national conference be convened
Mt nm early day to consider the future
foreign policy of the United States.
| The war with Spain gives promise of
the overthrow of Spanish power in
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and
other of the country's colonial posses
sions. The question of what DISPOSE
tion the United States should make of
these possessions when peace Is
reached Is none too soon In engaging
the thought of Onr people. The Ques-
tion impresses us as being one of the
most serious the American people have
had to consider. 1t Is now n question
on which heretofore very little thought
has been bestowed by the great ma
jority of our people. Whether the for
eign policy of the Fathers should be
adhered to or departed from is enough
to challenge the most considerable of
our ablest and thoughtful men. In our
opinion, this conference should be
composed of men from all parts of the
country, without respect to party or
affiliations, whether they are for or
against II policy of territorial eNpan-
sion, and men whose ability, position
and character entitle their opinions to
the respectful consideration of the
people,"
The circular letter sent out by Chair
man Henry Wade Rodgers and Secre-
tary Ralph NJ. Eastlcy, asking for sig
natures, stated that neither the genesis
nor conduct of the war should be dis
cussed, nor any political cast be given
the proceedings, the object being en-
tirely educational.
The responses were prompt and en-
thusiastlc. Among the signatures are
the governors of Indiana, Oregon, Ne
braska. Delaware, Vermont. West Nir-
ginia, Wyoming, South Carolina, and
the following:

dance about with the grace of houris,
the abandon of maenads or of nymphs

Wants the Contract Annu,ed.

New York, July 23.-George Osgood
Lord to-day brought suit in the Su-
Preme Court against the Compagnia
Transatlantique Espanola, ]. NJ. Cebal-
los, agent, who, in behalf of the Span.
ish line, made the bid for transporting
$4,000 defeated Dons from Santiago to
Spain for $50 for officers and $40 for
enlisted men.
The suit is to annul the contract the
Quartermaster's Department made
with the enemy's steamship company.
The ground for the suit is that the CON
tract is against public policy and gives
aid and comfort to the enemy of the
United States. Technically. Mr.. Lord
sues for 100000 damages, but the real
object is to secure The annullment of

"Adjutant General Of the Army, Wash
ington:
Lieutenant Miley has returned from
San Luis and Palma Estrlnao, where

General Toral reported. Three thou

volunteer guerrillas gave up their arms
and gave parole and have gone to
work.
"Three thousand stands of arms were
turned in, loaded on ox-carts and
started for the railroad, Spanish troops
accompanying them to San Luis, and
all apparently greatly delighted at the
prospects Of returning home. They
were on the verge of starvation, and 1

IF the numbers keep up as they
have there will be about $4,000 to shin

YELLOW FEVER SITUATION.

CAib ~ AAuVt iOr tue beSts
Washington, July PA dispatch re-
ceived tonight by Adjutant General
Corbin from General Shafter says that
39G new cases of fever of all classes
were reported in the camp before San
tiago yesterday.
AS the same dispatch reports only
four deaths, and none of them from
yellow fever, from among the hun
dreds of cases of fever known to ex-
ist in the camp, the war authorities are
more than ever inclined to the belief
that the cases of yellow fever are of a
mild type.
Previous dispatches from General
Shafter and the medical officers of the
corps have indicated the existence in
the camp of very large amount Of
cases of malarial fever and dengue
fever, the latter being peculiar to the
Cuban climate.
Some clear cases of yellow fever are
reported, but the officials say they are
few as compared with those of other
fevers.
General Shafter's dispatch, as made
public by Adjutant General Corbin,
follows:
Santiago de Cuba, via Hayti. July "a.
Number of new cases Of fever of all
classes for yesterday, approximately,
396. Deaths not previously reported:
Private Daniel A. Stone, company D,

ish Prisoners Means.
New York, July 24-The World saws:
A lawyer has been retained by the
steamship companies who were unsuc-
cessful bidders for transporting the
$4,000 captured Spanish prisoners from
Santiago to Spain and will begin action
to have the contract made by the gov
ernment with the Campagnia
Transatlantique Espanola set aside.
The ground taken is that the successful
bidder is n licensed corporation of a
nation with whom we are at war, and
that according to n measure passed by
the Spanish Cortes, one-half of the re-
ceipts of every corporation doing busi-
ness under the Spanish government
must be surrendered to the government
to help defray the expenses of the war.
By letting the contract to n Spanish
corporation the government Indirectly
pays into the Spanish treasury an
amount equal to onc-half of the con-
tract stipulation. Also. that the gov
ernment thereby releases from block
ade al, of the enemy's vessels to be
used in the transportation from the
neutral. ports where they are now in
shelter.
