ST. LOUIS, July S.-A special to the Re-

A courier from Steeleville, the county seat
of Crawford county, brought in the terrible

ones among the debris. The waterspout oc-
Cured outside the town, but swelled Yadin

'If 1 am given one good reason why /

Governor Budd says that Captain Ward
has been negligent of his duties. 1t is as
serted that the records of the Adjutant-
Generals office will show that he has been
very careless in attending to the business
of his company. The Governor hopes the
men will reconsider their action before he
is forced to dismiss them from the National

DURING THE DAY
Capital Quiet-But Little NsWE From
Army or Navy


WASHINGTON, July Seen. Shafter re-
ported all quiet yesterday in the camp be-
fore Santiago, and the belief of the off,
Gals here is that the same condition OF
affairs obtains today. The army is losing
nothing by its resting and according to
the Generals account, is gaining strength.
More reinforcements are due today.<er to-
morrow, and when they arrive it is ex-
pected that the assault on the city will be
resumed. 1t is hoped that this will be to-
morrow, though SO far as the army il
concerned it is gathered from Gen. Shaft
er's report that 1t will not advance before
reinforcements arrive unless in order 10
repel counter attack from the Spaniards.
Gen. Shafter and Admiral Sampson had
a conference day before yesterday and as
q result the fleet is going to make another
try at the Notifications of the harbor to-
morrow. If the army is ready this will
partake of the nature of general at
tack; IL not, then the navy's action will be
simply in the line of execution of a policy
of reducing Santiago by stages according
to regular siege methods.
While cooperating as far as possible
with the army, the navy is not to be sacri-
feed in this attack upon the Spanish forts.
The dropping of six-inch shell from ON
high through the deck of the Indiana,
three days ago, during the trying engage
ment with the forts when the Mercedes
was sunk, strikingly verified the predic-
tons OF naval experts as to the dangerous
effect of elevated fire upon warships at
close range. 1t was more by good luck than
| by good management that the Indiana es-
capped destruction or an awful loss of life
| from this one shell.
The President is determined that the
navy shall not be sacrificed for a small stake
such as Santiago. To the Cabinet officers
| he has pointed out the extremely danger
GUS position that the United States would
occupy among nations If left exposed by
| the loss of its navy, the arm of the service
which has evoked the unwilling admira-
ton and respect of the greatest powers Of
Europe. Without navy, or at least With
out the steel bulldogs that make up its
backbone, now lying before Santiago, /.
might be concluded that we should no
longer be as safe as we feel ourselves to
be at present from the arbitrary interfer-
ence of European powers in an attempt TO
settle our difficulties with Spain. The
function of the navy in tomorrow's at
tack will be to help the army in the as

that precautions are being taken at all sea-

SAILORS ALLEGED BRUTALITY
If the Charges Can Be Proved Indict-
ment Will Follow

NEW YORK. July S,-The Times prints
the following;
The alleged brutality toward the passen-
gers of La Bourgogne during the struggle
for life following the collision and sinking
of the vessel is the subject of much comment
throughout the city. 1t is the popular opin-
Ion that the stories Of the surviving passen-
gers must lead to an investigation of I'M
usual thcroughness and interest.
Assistant District Attorney Unger, in dis
cussing the case, said that in common law
any company is responsible for the acts Of
Its employees. In his opinion the surviving
sailors of La Bourgogne could be indict ed
for murder If the charges can be proved 1t
was the first duty of the sailors, he said, ia
save the passengers. He cited several par
allel cases. One was that Of the mate,
Holmes, Of the steamship William Brown
which sank off Nova Scotia in 1871. Holmes
ordered fourteen men and two women thrown
overheard. Holmes was arrested and tried
fer manslaughter, found guilty and the YER
dict was sustained by the United States Su-
preme Court.
When asked about the jurisdiction. Mr..
Unger said that in his opinion, if La Bour-
gogne's sailors committed the alleged acts
on RATS or in small boats, the United States
government would have Jurisdiction, but If
the alleged brutalities were committed on
the steamship France itself would have jur-
isdiction.
Francis Edmund Bruwaert, the French
Consul-General, said that as soon as the
survivors of the wreck reached this port a
consular investigation will be instituted ia
collect all available evidence concerning the
casualty, and this will be forwarded to the
French Maritime Court. He also added:
whatever crimes OF omission or commits
sion may have been committed whether on
board La Bourgogne. on RATS or in small
boats, were undoubtedly committed under
French jurisdiction, as they were under the
French flag and therefore in French terri
tory. This would apply even In cases in
New York harbor."
When asked whether, If there was evil
dence given by the passengers to show that
any parties or members of La Bourgogne's
crew had actually killed a passenger from
one Of the ships boats, he would be arrested

LONDON, July 9-Most of the weekly pa

The Speaker says:
1.-THE Santiago fight proves, so far as the
fleet is concerned that the United States
need not fear comparison with any country
in the world
The Spectator declares, as a conclusion
from the battle the conviction that the Amer
lean fleet could face even the French fleet
without great risk of disaster, and it says:
80 far as the German and American ma
vies go, there would be no comparison. A
struggle between them would be very short
and very complete, and it would surprise
Emperor William, who thinks himself in
vincibe; but his self-confidence cannot alter

Want the Rules Relaxed

NEW YORK, July S.-Application has
been made to the supervisor of the port for
a modification of the rules in regard to en-

danger of an attack upon the coast and
shipping merchants think that the mines
should now be removed, or at least vessels
be permitted to pass until midnight.
In all probability the application will be
granted, or at least in part.
