PANIC IN SANTIAGO.
BUSINESS Demoralized by the Uncer
tainty of the Future.


Santiago de Cuba, Aug. IA pan
lcky feeling prevails in business cir.
cles here, owing to fear that the
Americans will turn the city oven to
the Cubans for self-government. No
confidence exists, owing to the uncer-
tainty of the future. Orders that
we've given during the first davs of the
American occupation have been conn.
termanded by cable. European mer.
chandise on through bills of ladine via
New York has been ordered unshipped
and sold in New York, even at a sacri-
fee.
The same feeling extends to the
Cuban merchants themselves. who
seem to have lost faith in the ability Of
their own people to control affairs. The
rebels demand independence, but the
better classes, the merchants and land
owners, dread such a possibility, and
fervently hope that the United States
will retain the reins of government in
the island, as the only guarantee OF
stability or prosperity.
Senior Julian Cendoja, agent of the
Ward line of steamers, says that a
hundred Spanish merchants have ap-
piled for cabin and baggage room on
the return trip of the steamer Philadel-
phia, which is expected today, and
they will leave the city unless there is
some assurance from the American gov
ernment that it intends to control the
administration of public affairs in
Cuba.
This is the question uppermost in
everybody's mind. Spanish, foreigners
and natives are all alike anxious for a
definite expression from Washington of
the policy of the United States with
regard to Cuba, and until the express
sion is made, no resumption of trade or
commerce can be expected in Santiago,
where today both are in demoralized
and chaotic state,

Assignment. of war Loan Bonds.

Washington, July 30.-The treasury
department today issued the following
statement authorizing the assignment
of the new bonds:
"In order to save vexatious embar-
rassment to large subscribers to the
war-loan bonds-meaning by this sub
scribers for more than $500-the de-
partment has arranged to recognize
transfers of notices OF allotments, so
that persons receiving notice of the
amount allotted to them will be in a
position to realize on them in case Of
necessity substantially as readily as if
they were in possession of the bonds
allotted to them. This has seemed to
be the duty of the treasury department
in view of the unavoidable delay in
placing the actual bonds in the hands
of the larger subscribers.

APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT.
Filipinos in Europe Ask Us Not to
Abandon Them.


London, Aug. 1.-Natives of the
Philippine islands and British subjects
who have interests there are alarmed
by the reports that the peace terms in
clude the return of the islands to
Spain. As a result they have held a
meeting here, and after consultation
with the Filipinos in France and Bel
gium, have cabled to President McKin-
ley and to Senator Davis, chairman Of
the senate foreign relations committee.
The message to President Mckinley is
as follows
"The Filipinos resident in Europe
pray you not to abandon the Philippine
islands for the sake of peace with
Spain. Our loyalty and trust in the
honor of America entitle us to your
consideration and support. To hand
over our country again to Spain is con-
trary to the humanitarian proceedings
of your noble nation, and the wish Of
all classes. Civilization, trade and all
will be lost if Spanish authority is re-
established in any FORM"
The message to Senator Davis says:
ga castiron agreement, binding
Spain to form government satisfac-
tory to the inhabitants, is preposter-
Gus. To retain her sovereignty means
deception, oppression and bigotry. We
place our rights in your hands, and
pray you to induce the president and
senate not to abandon in the hour oi
peace people who. trusting in Ameri-
can honor, fought for their common
interests.''

Warrington, July 30.-The cabinet
.,n.sed the presidents answer to
l,ns peace proposal, and reached
,.ou to demand the following gen.
4 conditions;
Absolute surrender of Porto Rico to

sdonendence of Cuba, cession of one of

b:itiOn will be made of the Philip
|ns 1t can be stated that there is
Esctically no difference of opinion in
cabinet on the retention of the
|biippines as whole, all the men,
rs being opposed to our acquisition
4 these islands. There has been no
ecisiOn on the extent to which the
bvernment will go in its decision re-
beCting the future of these islands,
ut it is expected the answer of the
resident will express the willingness
t this government to leave the matter
/ the future government of the Philip
ines entirely in the hands OF a joint
OmmissiOn, to be appointed by this
overnment and the government of
pain. The probability is that the
Inited States will insist on certain re-
rms in the government of the Philip
ines.
Our answer will make no mention of
money indemnity. Neither will
lere be any armistice at all. The
lsWer will be In the nature of an ulti-
atum, and if Spain does not accept it
le will fare worse in the future.

pne Of the foremost merchants of Cuba,

nany on visit. In an interview,
Mr. Grupe said:
when l left Havana two weeks
agO, the inhabitants were not in the

OOmOarded. In fact, everything was
going on the same as usual. The the
A'ers, dancing halls and business of
every character were fiourishing, and
Out lor the presence of troops in the
city you would never know war was
'in progress.
The blockade at Havana has thus
af not proved very effective. The
afms around the city furnish all the
supplies necessary. The soil is so fer.
vie that crops can be produced in 80

IN BETTER AIR.
shafter's Army will Be Brought Back
A Fine Camp Site Secured.

army W brought BACK
A Fine Camp Site Secured.
Washington, July 80 Secretary AL
ger is deeply concerned over the welfare
OF the gallant troops under Skaters
command, now encamped on the out
skilts OF Santiago. The health report
shows surprisingly large number of
cases OF sickness, but army surgeons
authorize the statement that these
figures are misleading in a certain sense,
and that the situation may not be
nearly so bad as they would seem to
indicate. The slightest ailment of the
most temporary nature suffices to place
soldiers name on the sick reports,
which, in their present shape, would
not distinguish between such case and
one of mortal illness. The inference
is that many Of these cases in Shafter's
camp are of a trivial nature, but 60 to
swell its grand total of sick and wound
ed.
Notwithstanding this mitigating
fact, Secretary Alger is going to remove
the soldiers at the earliest opportunity
to more healthful cline. The surgeon
general, under the direction of the Sec
retary, few days ago, inspected
tract of land adjoining Montauk Point,
Long Island, belonging to the Long
Island Railroad Company, which has
been offered to the government as suit
abe for large encsmpment The
tract is three miles square, contains an
abundance of fresh water, a considera-
BILE lake, hill 10 feet in height, and
many other sanitary advantages, in.
cluding salt water bathing.
The necessary orders to equip this as
a camping ground will 60 forward i'm
mediately, and every advantage will be
taken Of the experience gained in the
formation of the great camps at Chicka-
mauga and Camp Alger, to make the
conditions as comfortable as possible
for the battle-scarred veterans in Shat
teI's army.
The time for their removal is left to
General Shafter, the only limitation
placed upon him being that he shall
not delay the homeward sailing of his
troops beyond the moment when it
shall be safe for them to leave San
tiago, having regard to the fever condi-
tions.
Meanwhile, details are being made
of troops to supply the force that shall
garrison Santiago so long as it shall be
found necessary to continue troops
there. This force will be made up
almost altogether OF immunes.
General Skaters daily bulletin, as
posted by the war department, follows:
