1t is broadly declared in Washington that
President Mckinley is trying hard to hush up
the Alger scandals, that he will permit the
Departments to make no investigation, and is
working on the assumption that the short ses-
sion of Congress will leave that body no time
for even the perfunctory inquiry which is all
that its more influential members will care to
make. If all this is true, it simply means
that the President takes the responsibility for
the whole Encouragement of the war, for the
barbarous treatment of the soldiers and all the
horrors of the fever camps and transport ships
upon himself The American people are in

Another Instance.

From the Philadelphia (Pa.) Ledger of September Z.
1t will be remembered that one ofthe causes
of the loss of life inflicted upon our heroic
troops at the attack upon Ell Caney was the
lack of siege guns. Our soldiers, without
siege guns, without hanking force and with :
out reserves, were compelled to carry formid-
able, strongly defensible and obstinately de-
Tended fort and inadequately armed did carry
it, and so made possible the notable victory of
Santiago.
Why they were thus forced without the
proper means of offense and defense against
powerfully entrenched enemy. into the can
mons mouth, is explained by the following
Associated Press despatch to the Ledger"
"NEw YORK, Sept. 5.-One more of Gen.
Skaters transports has turned up with some
thing in her hold. In the early days Of the
war some siege guns designed for the reduc-
ton of the land defences of Santiago had been
loaded upon the chartered transport Orizaba
and sent with Skaters army to Cuba. They
had not been unloaded at Santiago. and like
the pontoons on the Alamo and the commits
sary stores on the Breakwater, the Vigiancia
and the Grande Duchesse, they had been
overlooked"
General Shafter had the siege guns at hand
on the day that Ell Caney's fort was carried
with the loss of many precious lives, but in
stead of being on the field they were in the
hold of the transport at Santiago, and they
are there today, they never having been I'M
loaded.
