PRAISED OUR SOLDIERS.
A French Military Attache Speaks very
Highly of the American Fighters
Near Santiago.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Major de
Grandprey, military attache of the
French embassy, has just returned from
the American headquarters near Santi-
ago, where he has been observing for
his government the progress of military
operations. He paid glowing tribute
to the fighting ability of our soldiers.
IT have the most complete admit
ration for your men," said Major de
Grandprey to reporter yestesday.
''They are superb body, individually
and as an army, and [ suppose not
throughout the world is there such a
splendid lot of fighting men. 1t is the
lighting characteristic of the men which
is most apparent. They are aggressive,
eager for action, never needing the
voice OF an officer to push them for
ward. Another marked characteristic
is the self-rellance of each man; what
we call the character of initiative
lit is almost unknown i'll European
armies, where every movement and the
move to meet such action of the enemy
awaits the initiative OF an Officer But
with your men they fight to the front
meeting each emergency as it arises,
overwhelming obstacles by their own
initiatives. Such self-reliant fighting
men make an exceptionally impetuous
army, for every unit contributes TO the
irresistible onward movement. The
Spanish troops do not have this same
characteristic. They are more passive,
more cautious. Besides the impetuosity
OF such fighting material, it has the eff
feet OF inspiring morale among the
troops, making them feel that success is
assured, and at the same time carrying
disorder and depression to the ranks of
the enemy. Y

A CHR TAN CAPTAIN.

God After the Victory
Over Cervara.

PORTSMOUTH. N. H., July 13.--Ac-
cording to Chaplain H. w. Jones of the
Texas Captain j. w. Philip made the
following statement to his officers and
men Immediately after the great battle
of Santiago on Sunday, July 3:
81 wish to make confession that |
have implicit faith in God and in the
officers and crew Of the Texas, but my
faith i'll you is secondary only to my
faith in God. We have seen what He
has done for US, in allowing us to

to ask you all, or at least every man who
has no scruples, TO uncover his head
with me anu silently offer Il word OF
thanks to God for His goodness toward

PARIS, July 13.-The officials of the
Spanish embassy here communicated to
the press last evening dispatch from
Madrid, declaring it came from an
authoritative source. It set forth in
substance that although Spain was
"only fighting in order to maintain her
right to repel unjust aggression, she
will continue the struggle until she
obtains an honorable peace, whatever
sacrifices may be necessary to attain
this end"
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Although the
statement has been repeated day after
day that no overtures have yet been
made to our government for peace, it
may bear repetition once more IN view
of the express denial given at the state
department to SO much of the stories
emanating from European sources as
seek to create the impression chat the
United States government or any OF its
representatives SO far has made any
move III this direction. The fact is as
it has BEEN The first overtures III the
direction of peace must come from
Spain, directly or indirectly
The dispatch from Madrid detailing
the series of alleged peace conditions
was looked upon as a .feeler." 1t is
said that no such proposition has gone
from the government. The alleged
terms-Spanish evacuation of Cuba and
Porto Rico, $240, 100000 war indemnity
and retention of the Philippines until
the indemnity is paid-are in general
line with the conjecture afioat here for
some time, but officials never have
given this conjecture any endorsement,
and if the Madrid dispatch is put for
ward as a "feeler" it has not proved
successful in inducing the authorities
to disclose their position ON these terms
as a whole or separately.
The Spanish cabinet crisis is looked
upon by officials here as likely to bring
about direct issue on whether Spain
will sue for peace or continue the war
to the bitter end. The retiring premier,
Sagasta, has been for war. Now that
he retires the queen regent must take
choice between premier and cabinet
more radical than Sagasta for war or
else peace cabinet.
If for peace the negotiations are ex-
pected to take form very soon. Ii Tor
war then the peace conjecture will be
summarily disposed of and at the same
time there will be assurance OF stubborn
Spanish resistance.
The departure of the French ambas-
sador Monday evening takes out OF
town for the present every diplomatic
chief likely to be interested in any for
eign movement connected with the war.

rendering-He Rebuked Cervera.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-The impress
sion prevailed in official circles when
public business closed for the day yes
terday that the flag of truce sent in the
Spanish lines at Santiago ut O'Clock
Monday afternoon was still flying, and
that negotiations continued looking to a
surrender. The basis for these negotia-
tions naturally could not be very broad
in view of the injunction the president
laid upon General Shafter to accept
nothing less than unconditional surren-
der. but it is supposed that time may be
consumed through the indulgence of
General Shafter in allowing the Span
ish commander to communicate by cable
with Captain General Blanco in the eff
fort to obtain his assent to the surren-
der.
General Toral undoubtedly has be-
fore his eyes the vindictive abuses
heaped upon the unfortunate naval
commander Cervera for surrendering at
all. SO that he probably will be bound
by the direction of Blanco in his own
case.
1t is not generally known that in re-
/ Spouse to the manly and pathetic report
by cable to Blanco announcing the loss
of his squadron, Cervera received a most
harsh and unsympathetic reply, but
such is the case.
Blanco's purpose in this may have
been to dissuade other Spanish COM
manders, military and naval, from sur
rendering under any conditions, and in
the case OF Toral it appears that he has
made a strong impression. Neverthe-
less, confidence wakes in the speedy fall
of santiago. though many officers fear
that the nest will be found empty and
the birds flown when the American
troops make their entry into the town.

DANISH AUTHORITIES oBEYED.
Opposed 20 ON Using Our own Coal, "a
Et. Thounse

At Ih0HeHee
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Before the
war began our government accumulated
stock of ooal at st. Thomas, West
Indies. Most of it was ashore, but
1000 tons were on a schooner lying in
the harbor. Twice since the war broke
out the United States has awaited of
this coal, once to supply the Minneapo-
lis and once the Montgomery, but as
each was bound for the nearest home
port and took only enough coal to carry
them there, it was fairly assumed that
there had been no breach OF neutrality.
However it appears that there is now
a disposition exhibited by the Danish
aa1thorities to prevent the United States
ships from using the coal, and as there
is no question of their right to lay
down such a rule, the coal itself prob
ably will be let alone. Fortunately
there is no particular need for it, as
sthere are other means of coaling fleet
snOm in use.

CARRIERS TO PAY THE TAX.
Boyd Ipterpretates Feature of War
Revenue Law.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-In answer to
references from the commissioner of
internal revenue, all bearing upon the
question as to whether the shipper or
carrier shall pay for and affix the re-
CURED revenue stamps to bills of lading,
ETC., Assistant Attorney General Boyd
has held in part as follows:
ssThe purpose of the law is clear. 1t
was to tax the carrier and not the ship
per; and these provisions undoubtedly
fix upon the express companies and
other carriers the duty of providing,
affixing and canceling the stamp, and
their failure to so provide, affix and
cancel such stamp, subjects them to the
penalties provided by law. 1t is sug-
gested that some of these carriers are
refusing to receive goods for shipment
until the shipper pays the tax"

statements are directly against IT,
The DinEley tariff bill Is mot fall-
ure; It Is now producing more than sur

penses OF the government; In the last
i've months Of the fiscal year, the Ding

nine ana one-half millions.
These are facts, and the register
knows they are indisputable facts.
Had the Wheeling organ Of cheap
money and Organism had the least de-
sire to tell the truth about the Dingley
law It could have done so, for on Tues
day Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
Howell made a careful analysis OF the
receipts and expenditures OF the hscal

and other PopocTaHc papers are not
caring to tell the truth about the Ding
ley tariff Just now. The truth hurts
ana they chow that Il hurts by the way
they Jungle and distprt the official tis-

statement Of the Register, and then
read the following concise statement
from Mr. Howell:
"The receipts, Including Pacific rail-
road items, are S405, 32l, 1886; the expen-
dItures. including Pacific railroad Items
are S4I3, 1865, $50, leaving a deficit OF 1885,

words, the deficit would not have ex-

"At the end OF the first seven months
of the fiscal year the deficit was 50, 90l'-

find that the deficit has been reduced
during the last FIVE months OF the fiscal
year $9,652,7l9. So far this year our re-
ceipts exceeded our expenditures on q

the tariff law OF 1897 produced during

SPANS answer to the demands Of the
United States Is now on the way to

quarters that the Spanish answer, While
