the letters public.
"They were not written for publica-

the matter. My lawyers fully under

sured me that signing this paper would

FUsIONISTS AND DEMOCRATS.
Proposition That One of the Nomi-
nees Withdraw.

BUTTE, Sept. 24.-Charles H. Hart
man, nominee Of the Populists and
Silver Republicans for Congress, has
sent an open letter to A. J. Campbell,
nominee of the Democrats, proposing
that one or the other withdraw in the
interest of the election of a Silver man.
Mr. Hartman proposes that they sub
nit their case to Chairman Jones of the
Democratic National Committee, Chair
man Towne of the Silver Republicans,
and Chairman Butler of the Populists.
The subsistence of the offer is this:
'If two of the three arbitrators shall
decide that the success of the cause in
the nation will best be subserved by
my retirement, I will willingly with
draw from the race and cordially sup
port your candidacy. If all three of the
arbitrators shall decide that it is best
for the cause for you to withdraw, then
you are to govern yourself accordingly,
and thus unite the silver forces in sup
port of one nominee for Congress"

movement comes. No time has yet
been fixed, and none will be until the
department is advised by the Military
Commission that the health of the
troops would not be in danger from
the Cuban climate. 1t is stated by
an official of the War Department that
the troops would go to Cuba about the
middle of October, certainly not later
than the 1st of November.
The matter of barracks for the troops
has been considered by the depart
ment, and Acting Secretary Meikle-
john said to-day that the Spanish bar
racks in Cuba would be thoroughly
cleansed and fumigated before being
occupied by United States troops. No
barracks that were not pronounced in
a satisfactory condition would be used.
If barrack accommoda tions already
built by the Spanish We're not suffi-
cient, this Government would provide
its own barracks. More care is being
given to the matter of sanitation and
health of the Cuban expedition than
has attended any expedition of the
army. The department had plenty of
time to make these arrangements, and
utilized it completing arrangements for
successful occupation.

THE PHILIPPINES.
Denied That Germany is Furnish
ing Arms to Insurgents.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The Off
cials of the War Department pronounce
to be without foundation the stories
coming from San Francisco to the eff
feet that Germany has shown any dis
position to arm the Philippine insur-
gents with view to melting them
to harass the Americans at Manila.
The officials stated to be positively
untrue the statement that our Gov
ernment had received any such infor-
such in ordering the dispatch last week
of 5000 additional troops to reinforce
General Otis at Manila.
It is undoubtedly a fact that some
apprehension was caused at an early
stage of the war by the attitude of
German naval force in Manila Har-
bor But so far as can be learned
that difficulty has been smothered, and
there has been no recurrence of I'M
pleasant incidents in those quarters
Information, scarcely official, yet
worthy of credence, has reached Wash
ington to indicate that Germany would
much desire a coaling station in the
Philippines, preferably taking the ISL
and of Palawan for that purpose But
it is not supposed that Germany would
undertake to assert any claim in that
particular unless there should be a
clear exhibition on the part of the
other two nations properly interested
in the Philippines-the United States
and Spain-of disposition to consent
to a division of the islands. On this
point the American Peace Commission
ers have been fully instructed.
AS far as the statement that Ger
many was sending $4,000 rifles to arm
the insurgents, it was said at the War
Department that such an act would be
a casus belli and it was not sup
posed for moment that there was any
truth in it

General Greene BeStoWs Great Praise
on Western Troops,
Especially the Utah Batteries and the Colo
Tado Volunteers.
Says They Fought Like Regulars,
and That the Former Boys More
Than Once Saved the Day-Best
Of Health Among the Troops at
Manila.

OGDEN Utah), Sept. 4-General
Greene, who commanded the land
forces which caused the surrender of
Manila, arrived at San Francisco
Thursday morning, and this morning
arrived at Ogden, en- route to Wash
ington, where he is to report to head
quarters. His recall to Washington is
made that he may give the Admins
tration the advantage of information
he has secured during the campaign in
the Philippines, and he carries with
him large number of maps as we'll
as many volumes of information re-
garding the country. He is accompa-
MED by two members of his staff, Cap
tain Bates and Lieutenant Scheffiin,
and in his company are also Sonor
Agoncillo, representing Aguinaldo, and
accredited agent to this Government,
and his Secretary, Senor Lopez.
General Greene was very loud in his
praise of the work of the Utah bat
teries, and Captains Grant and Young
We're especially praised. The General
said the boys had the hardest part or
the fight from start to finish, and that
they could always be relied upon in
any emergency. Especially did he eX-
tol them for their bravery on the night
of the first battle, when they were COM
PEELED to haul their guns across the
country by hand, with the mud eight
inches deep, and the rain pouring down
and the enemy pouring hot shot from
Mausers and fieldpieces right into their
ranks. He says the guns are all marked
up where they have been hit by the
shells and shot of the Spaniards, and
spoke of one gun which had the sights
shot off in the engagement. lie SAID
as one of the gunners was aiming the
piece a shot came along and struck a
sight glancing down the side OF the
gun, the gunner being saved only be-
cause the shot struck a little proJec-
ton on the side of the gun and glanced
off to one side. The Utah boys saved
the day more than once during the pat
tie of Manila, and the General says
they behaved like regulars who knew
not what fear was, and their gunnery
was superb They are the bravest Of
the brave. and Utah has righato b.
proud Of them.
He spoke in the highest terms also of
the bravery and efficiency of the Colo
rado troops He told of their action,
giving great credit to Major Moses.
Captain Grove and Lieutenant Means
for their work in accommodating.
There was not so great resistance as
we expected" said the General, but
the Utah batteries and the navy were
shelling, and that was a great protec-
ton. It is the worst country in the
world to work in, full of little sinks and
cIumps of bushes, but the knowledge
uoiped bv the CoIOradanS in their re-
connoitering is what saved the men.
Our losses were very small.
"Since the surrender of Manila there
has been the best of health among the
troops. and. they have always had
plenty Of food, and good food. There
have not been as many death alto
gether as in camp in California. The
Western troops are as fine as they make
them They look like giants beside
those of the Philippines"
