MANILA, Oct. 1.-The national as.
sembly at Malolos at a recent sitting
voted Agulnaldo a civil list Of SO, 900
but A.ulnaldo declined to receive
anything until the army should have
been paid. The assembly is now en-.
gagged in discussing the constitution.
Every where is seen evidence of ap.
palllng struggles. Popular opinion
favors autonomy, which it is gcncr.
ally expected will be estab lisned. The
people rather distrust the Americans.
who, beginning to realize this fact.
sent the cruiser Raleigh to the north.
western ports for the purpose Of show.
ing the American flag and making
friends with the natives.
The cruisers officers endeayored r.

ties, but the natives at first were un.
willing to visit the ship unless hostages
were landed. Finally friendly feeling
was established and the natives were
agreeably surprised at the American
attitude.

NEARLY HALF SICK.

volunteer Regiments in Porto Rico Are
in an Alarming Condition.
Ponce, Porto Rico, Oct. 5.-It is the
we'll grounded and almost unanimous
opinion Of the medical staff of the
American army in Porto Rico that the
condition Of the volunteer forces here
necessitates their removal North.
Sickness is increasing and has been
increasing during the past three weeks
at an alarming ate. The sick report
shows over 2.7oO in hospitals or in
quarters out Of a total command of
10, 600 men: that is, owe % per cent of
the troops are on the sick list. This,
however, does not mean that there is
an effective strength of 1000 men.
The soldiers discharged from the hos.
pitals as fit for duty are, in nine cases
cut Of ten, incapable of service, and if
ordered on duty are almost invariably
back in the hospitals within a few
days. 1t is a significant fact that there
is a wide disparity between the sick.
ness in the
Volunteer and Regular Commands.
In the W. regular infantry regiments,
the Nineteenth and Eleventh, the sick.
ness averages only about 10 per cent,
while in the volunteer re2iments-the
Sixth Massachusetts,, First New York
Ell Engineers, Fourth Ohio, Third Illinois,
First Kentucky, Third Wisconsin and
Sixteenth Pennsylvania lit averages "a
Ter cent. In the last named two,
where the conditions are the worst,
the sick report shows a percentage of
AZ in the Sixteenth Pennsylvania and
AZ in the Third Wisconsin. Over half
Of these two regiments. which, with
the First Kentucky, comprise General
Ernst's brigade, are unfit for duty,
and when General Ernst moved his
headquarters to Albonite it was found
that it would be impossible for the
brigade to follow. Undoubtedly the
wide disparity between the percentage
Of sickness in the volunteer and 2
lar organizations is largely due to the
fact that the latter are better able to
take care of themselves.

TO IMPROVE SANTIAGO.
General Wood Proposes to Make 1t q

General Wood Proposes to Make 1t q
Very Attractive Town.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct. 5.-General
Wood proposes to inaugurate a system
of municipal taxation, making the
taxes retroactive to Sept. l. The funds
of the customs house cannot legally be
taken fer munich al Improvements here
or in this vicinity, though the present
surplus is 500, 900. Consequently
another ource of revenue has to be
obtained. There has been a law to tax
and license every business and every.
body; but since the occupation OF San.
tiago by the American troops, these
taxes have not been collected. Now,
however, the minimum rates will be
exacted. which will bring in a revenue
of $4,000 per month, which is badly
needed for local improvements. 1t is the
policy of Gen. Wood to spend all he can
legitimately upon Santiago, which is the
exact opposite of the system adopted by
the Spaniards. Water in the dry sea.
= N costs 20 cents per barrel. General
Woods plan is to pore arte sian wells
and obtain a plentiful supply of water.
Santiago can stand the expenditure of
a lot Of money in improvements and
General Wood proposes building
boulevards around the city. thus prac.
tically extending its limits and making
the outskirts the most popular portion.
But there is no idea Of unduly taxing
the people. The general will merely
raise sufficient money to carry on the
municipal government in a satisfactory
manner. A committee consisting of
two American officers and two Cubans,
has been appointed to consider the best
legal measures to he adopted under the
circumstances.

The water supply, also, was good. He
said the men in his command were

and had found the men doing we'll.
General Wheeler said said he had no
control over any of the supplies which
were taken to Santiago on the trans
ports when he left Tampa. This was
attended to by the different staff Of.

to accident. had been adjusted. There
was suffering when the men had been
compelled to lie on the breastworks.

Gen. Wheeler said in response to q
question, that Cerve-a's fleet was the
objective Of the campaign. There was
20 reason why tia Spanish troops
should not have made a sortie from
Santiago, and he asked Gen. Toral
after the surrender, why he had not
attacked. The latter replied that the
failure to do SO was because his men
were footsore. Yet Gen. Wheeler
could not accept this explanation, for
the Spanish soldiers were not footsore. |
Gen. Wheeler's opinion was that tho
Spanish commander was not able to
face the Americans in the open. Discus.

plan could have been adopted. Speak.

81 for a Kiss.

Some OF the people who heard the trial
OF Paul Kraft at Lake Linden before
Judge Brule last Saturday in his suit for
damages, which Mrs. Remfry brought
against him say that it discounted the
"Dazzler" for real fun, and that show is
acknowledged to be one of the best that
has eyer been here. The court room was
crowded during the progress OF the trial,
many Calumet people being in attend
ance.
Mrs. Remfry wanted damages from
Kraft because she alleged II Kraft had
kissed her in the saloon and had other
wise hurt her feelings. - Kraft had al.
ready been arrested for assault and bat
terry in connection with the same case
and paid fine and the costs of court,
but now Mrs. Remfry wanted more She
went to Lake Linden and commenced
the suit before Judge Brule. Kraft
pleaded not guilty and demanded jury
trial. So six good ..men land true from
Lake Linden sat upon the merits of the
case. Attorney Hambitzer appeared for
Mrs. Remfry and Attorney Gray for the
defendant. A number OF witnesses wereex-
amined, including Marshal Beck and.msDy
who were in the. saloon OF the plain
tiff at the time.. Some.of the testimony
was conflicting, Kratt's witnesses as sert.
ing that Kraft never kissed Mrs. Remfry
and the others stating that he did. Kraft
is supposed to have entered the s-loon
and seeing Mrs. Remfry said to her hus
band: "Remfry, you have the finest wife
in town." or words to that effect When
it came to the kissing part, the testimony
was widely divergent. Thefun camew her
one OF the witnesses when asked II he saw
Kraft kiss Mrs. Remfry, stated Eyes, and
Iwould do It too, If / had a chance
From the testimony Kraft evidently
put his arm around her. but the jury did
not believe that he kissed her or at leas,
that he did her any great injury fol
which she was entitled to money rem
edy. They decided that Kraft wa.
guilty. however, and placed the damage,
ut the nominal price Of 81 for kiss and
the costs OF court.
1t is thought that the matter, which
has attracted great deal OF attention
and had a good deal Of airing in TIT
courts, when in reality IL was very triv
ial affair, will be settled for good now, a,
both parties seemed to be satisfied Will

Synopsis of a Report
Sent to Congress
by President.
Advises That Body to 60 Slow
tached 90 No One and Trusts
spain 60 Act Justly.

WASHINGTON, March 2S-The president
to lay sent brief message to congress
citing the various occurrence IN connec-
nection with explosion OF the Maine, the
the naming of the court OF inquiry and
the conclusions OF the court which are in
brief that the Maine was blown up from
the outside by a NINE placed IN the har-
Dor OF Havana, but fixes responsibility
upon no one. In conclusion the presi-
dent said 81 have directed that the find
ing of the court of inquiry and the views
OF the government thereon be cOmmuni-
Gated TO the government Of her majesty
OF Spain, and do not permit myself to
doubt but that the sense OF justice OF the
Spanish nation will dictate course OF
action in accordance with honor and the
friendly relations of the two govern
ments. Ii was the duty of the executive
to advise congress OF the result and in
the meantime deliberate consideration
is inv oked. One of the main points be-
ing let out!by the testimony in the Maine
case corrects the important impress
sion which prevails all over country
for the testimony will prove that the bat
tleship's position was not changed; after
she entered the harbor she was moved
up to the buoy and remained there until
blown up. statement has been made
repeatedly in the press that her position
was changed the night before the explo-
sion by direction OF the harbor master OF
HAVANA.
Ia the house and gsenate the message
was referred without any debate TO com.
mittee foreign affairs under rules and no
motion made. Immediately after the
announcement OF Representatives mkins'
death house adjourned at l p. N. Senate
not yet adjourned.
