Torai's Army In Unhealthy Position.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. G. General
Toral, the commander of the Spanish
troops, has sent letter to General
Shafter advising the latter that the
camp of the surrendered Spanish troops
Is in an unhealthy condition. The Span
ish officer also reported that there were
several hundred sick in the hospitals
and an average Of IL deaths daily. The
transports expected here to carry the
Spanish troops back to Spain have not
yet been heard from. General Shafter
will take action at once in order to i'm
prove the sanitary condition of the
soldiers and their camp.

Tho Sixth Massac CHI usetts' Row

Washington. Aug. 6.-An inquiry has
been started by the secretary OF war in
regard to the trouble Of the Sixth Mas

SLIM CHANCE FOR WADE,
His Provisional Division Will Probably
Not Go to Porto Rioo.

! His Provisional Division VIII Probably
Not Go to Porto Ricu.
Washington, Aug. 6.-There is a
strong possibility that the Is regiments
selected to go to Porto Rico in a pro-
visional division, to be commanded by
General Wade will not embark on the
expedition at all. The news from Porto
Rico encourages the belief that the
Spanish garrison in the island will be
| disposed Of soon after General Miles
| reaches the end OF his march from
Ponce to San Juan. Meanwhile the
Quartermasters department finds itself
unable to provide promptly a sufficient
ly large number OF transports for Cen
eral Wade's expedition, and the time
when there will be no excuse for send
ing more troops to Porto Rico is ap-
preaching.
Another reason exists for the aban-
donment Of the expedition. The admin
istration has been accused in many
quarters of projecting the Wade expe-
dition for political purposes, and. how
ever groundless the charge may be, the
officers are unwilling to incur censure
unless there Is necessity to do SO.
A telegram has been received at the
war department from the governor of
Vermont, informing the department
that he does not wish to have the First
Vermont volunteers sent to Porto Rico
unless the regiment is needed for the
campaign.
Another strong objection to the dis
patch Of General Wade's division ia
that the transports are urgently needed
to convey Skaters corps from SANTIAGO
to Montauk Point
When the administration learned of |
the desperately bad condition of the
army in southeastern Cuba, it was de- |
cided to withdraw the troops as rapidly
as possible, and this action calls for
nearly all the transports which the war
department can command.

The troops in camps in their own

There has been gossip as to the nee

doubt Of its existence. Representative
Hull Of Iowa, chairman of the house
committee on military affairs, is of the
opinion that no additional legislation Is
necessary for maintaining the army.
Mr.. Hull does not believe that all the

says that the war is not over as long

HOS. HENRY o. DAvIs
Isnow Being Mentioned as the
Democratic Nominee for Gov
ernor in 1900.

The Democratic press, as we'll as
the Democratic organizations. in
the different portions of'the State.
are bringing ex-senator Henry g.
Davis. of Elkins, before the pub
lie as the next Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor of West Virginia.
Mr.. Davis has again entered ac-
lively into politics, and is making
speeches and doing good work for
the cause of Democracy in the
First and Second Districts.
He has been lifelong true and
loyal Democrat, and is firm be-
lever in the Chicago Platform and
the free coinage of silver, and is
not afraid to let,his opinions be
known.
MIR. Davis is identified with the
material interests of this State. in
developing it's railroads, its timber,
its coal and its oils. He probably
has done more than any other half
dozen men to develop the richness
of West Virginia, and all his in
vestments- are made in this State
Through his influence capitalists
have been attracted to the State
and have made large investments
in many portions of it, and are
opening up our mines and timber
lands, and building railroads, every
where within its borders.
He was twice elected to the
United States Senate, and during
his terms. was ever watchful of the
interests of this State.
No man in the State could
WELD the influence that Mr.. Davis
would as Governor of West Vir-
ginia, and we endorse the move
ment now on foot to make him the
Democratic nominee for Governor
in 1900.
We have known Mr.. Davis since
our boyhood days, when he was an
employee on the B. & o. Railroad,
and the same business habits he
adopted then, he carries out now,
that of performing every duty and
trust imposed upon him. he
would make a model Governor.
He should receive the nomina-

With such man as Mr.. Davis
Governor of the State, West Vir-

A quarter of q century ought TO
be long enough to test a theory In
1873 the republican party led by
John Sherman and backed by the
Vaccinations of Wall Street struck
down the last vestige of silver as a
standard money of final redemp-
ton in the interest of the money
changers here and In Europe. Now,
after twenty-five years of a partial
and modified gold standard, it is
time we stop and take our bear
ings. What is the result to-day
compared with of quarter of a
century ago? Then three-quar-
tiers of all the wealth of this coun-
try belonged to the great masses
of the people, but today, after all
these years of misruIe, only one
quarter of the wealth is let to them.
The capitalists of the land have
gathered golden harvest indeed
during these years; they now have
fully three quarters of all the wealth
which is SO hedged about by law
by trickery and by misrepresenta-
ton, that it pays less than one
fourth of the taxes. while the mere
pittance left in the hands of the
ltoiling masses is made to pay fully
three-fourths of all the taxes.
