Delicacies for the sick and com forts for both the strong and the weak will be required; money will be needed; individual service may be called for If impossible for any of us to go-per- sonally-to the field of action, we can, at least, furnish the funds with which to send trained nurses to care for the sick and wounded.
 ''The national society, D. A.

Eight Hundred Sick.

A dispatch to the New York
Herald from Santiago says: Five
men Of the Fifth regulars have
died since their arrival here, and
forty per cent of the regiment is
on the sick report from malarial
fever. Illness among the troops is
increasing. Col. Cranes immunes
are in camp on the banks of the
San Juan river. This has had a
fatal effect. There are now more
than 500 men in the hospital or on
the sick report. The illness is at
tributed to the effect of the rains
on a country full of shallow graves
and to miasmas from the swampy
surroundings.

Territory Coal.

The secretary of the interior has
received from Inspector L. W.
Bryan, report upon the condi-
ton of the coal mines in the In
dian Territory. Mr.. Bryan states
that the past year has been notably
free from strikes or labor trouble,
the miners appearing well satisfied
to obtain work, but unfortunately
during the summer months, owing
to keen competition, many of the
miners are idle and the men are un-
able to find sufficient work. 1t is
to be noted that while the produc-
ton of coal in the past FIVE years
has increased so per cent. the num-
Der of men remains about the same
and doubtless these men have
earned less money and worked
fewer days than they did in 1894.
This is owing to the establishment
Of electric machinery and other
labor saving devices.

General Maximo Gomez, the in

rendered his resignation of the
command of the Cuban army to
the Cuban government at CANA
guey, and it has been accepted.
Gomez, it appears, has been pro-
testing against the Cuban govern
ments, yielding the control of the
affairs of the island to the Ameri-
cans. His explanation for resign
ing was his disapproval of pas
sive submission to conditions tend
ing to the practical retirement of
the Cuban republic, as such, and
the establishing Of the absolute
dominion of the United States"

Fate OF Philippines.

President Mckinley and his cab
met has decided the fate of the
Philippine islands The decision
reached is as follows:
/. That Spain should cede to
the United States absolute sover-
eighty over the entire island of
Luzon, upon which Manila is stu
ated.
2. That the remaining islands
of the archipelago shall be restored
to the dominion of Spain with the
proviso that a liberal government
shall be given to the inhabitants
thereof.
3. That there shall be a com
plete separation of church and
state in the Philippine islands.
4. That there shall be vested
in the United States a prior right
to the possession of any or all of
the islands outside of Luzon. In
other words, that Spain shall not
dispose of these islands to any
foreign power without the consent
of the United States.
5. That the United States shall
at all times have equal commercial
privileges in the Philippine archi
pelago with any nation, not ex-
cepting Spain herself.
These conclusions We're arrived
at to-day after two sessions of the
cabinet, which were devoted exclu-
sively to the consideration Of the
instructions to be given the COM
missioners who are to negotiate
the terms Of the treaty of peace at
Paris.

day Capt. Stewart, commander of the

the gunboats. He was alone, and the
odds against him were heavy, but he
did a bold thing. Sounding her way
inch by inch, the Mangrove crept into
the harbor, drawing eight feet of water
at depth of eight and one-half feet.
until at s a. m. she sighted both the
Spanish gunboatS. The Herman Cor

side to the sea. The small gunboat lay
near the surf.
The Spanish gunboats had each about
fifty men on their decks. Ashore were
several one-pound field pieces, while
the Spanish troops were armed with
Mausar rifles.

fired, but the Spaniards got the Man.

miracle that her loss of life was not

around her, shells bursting and chip

the midst of this. the Mangrove swung
around to bring her starboard to play.
Just then the watch shouted, flag Of

but three white flags could be seen
f1uttering from the small gunboat and
from the government houses on shore.
The Mangrove acknowledged the signal,
and presently small boat came out
