WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE %, 1898.

IT is estimated by conservative sta
tisticians that the cost of the first year
of the Spanish war will amount to ten
dollars head on every man, woman
and child in the United States. Now,
while the people of this coun'
try would have willingly been
taxed moderately to help the
alleged starving Cubans, who,
however, it seems, have not starved,
though the supplies they were recelv-
ing from the United States have been
cut of, they can hardly bear, in their
present Strengthened condition, such q
tax, most Of which, together with the
blood that has been and that will be
split. would have been saved, simply
BY allowing Spain the poor privilege OF
settling her affairs with her own sub
jects in her own way. But If there had
been no war, the ship owners and army
and navy contractors of the North and
the capitalists of that section vino had
money to invest in gold bonds, would
not have profited.

WAR NOTES.

General Shatter has sent cablegram
to the War Department stating that
"all is progressing we'll" and that he
has occupied an advanced position va.
Gated by the Spaniards.
The entire division of General Sny-
der at Tampa, has been ordered to 90 to
Santiago. The troops are expected to
be on their way by the end of this week.
1t is reported on high authority that
almost 10000 Spanish soldiers have ar
rived at Santiago de Cuba since the
American advance began, and, it is
added, that General Pando may be able
to effect junction with General Lin
ares, at Santiago de Cuba.
Santiago is without water supply.
The mains leading to the city have
been cut by the engineer corps Of the
United States army, who were guided
by Cuban scouts. The work was done
under the direction of Gen. Wheeler.
The damage was done within two
miles OF the city, at point which the
Spaniards had left unprotected. The city
has small supply of cistern water.
The Spsnjards early Monday morn.
ing blew up the western abutment of
the railway trestle st Auguadores,
work that they have been trying to &C.
complish for several days. The Glou-
cester has been guarding that point,
bu. at o'clock this morning the enemy
exploded charge, the noise OF which
was heard at Altares, nine miles awsy.
A cablegtam from Manila says the
situation in the Philippines is about to
become complicated. The insurgents,
influenced by foreign consuls orinfated
by their sudden success in arms, have
changed their tone and now demand
complete independence. Auguinaldo
has issuedI circular, saying "It is
probable that will invite the European
powers to recognize and guarantee the
complete independence of the Philip.
pines"
Captain G eneral August has cabled.
to Madrid that his position ut Manila is
no longer tenable. The insurgents, he
says, have 10000 soldiers. They have
completely isolated Manila and the
provinces are surrendering to them.
The next military expedition to Ma
nila is expected to leave San Francisco
early in July. Still another will probably
leave by August l.
Madrid officials state that Admiral
Csmara will not turn back from his
mission, but will proceed through the
Suez canal without delay.
A second squadron as strong as that
of Commodore Watson, it is said, is to
sail for the coast OF Spain within two
weeks. 1t will be under the command
of Admiral Sampson and will include
at least one frst-class battleship. The
administration has decided to make its
campaign on the Spanish coast far
more sweeping than the suggestion of
the first bulletins issued by the Navy
Department Monday implied.

CONGRESSIONAL.

There seemed to be general under.
standing at the Capitol yesterday that
vote on the Hawaiian resolutions will
be reached in the Senate by the middle
OF next week. There has been no def
mite understanding yet as to the exact
time when the vote will be taken, but
the agreement is regarded as SO certain
that memb ers of the Senate and House
committees on appropriations informal
ly agreed yesterday that adjournment
Of Congress should be one week from
next Friday. This agreement was
made with the understanding that q
vote on the Hawaiian resolutions was
to be taken next Wednesday or Thurs
day.
In the House yesterday the confer
ence report upon the bankruptcy bill
was adopted by vote of 134 to So, and
the measure will now go to the Presi-
dent.
Following the disposal of that bill
the afternoon was given over to the
consideration of matters reported from
the committee on military affairs. A
special rule providing for the order of
business was adopted. Several bills
affecting the army were passed, nota-
BILE among them being those provid-
ing for the pay of volunteers from
the date of enrolment for service,
and providing for increases in the ord
nance, engineers and quartermaster's
departments. The permanent increase
OF the two former precipitated from
number OF democrats very vigorous
protests against any action looking to
a permanent enlargement of the coun-
try's military establishment. Under
the rule adopted yesterday considera.
ton of military bills will continue to.
day.
The House yesterday agreed to q
conference with the Senate upon the
omnibus claims bills, and if IN agree
ment is reached it is probable that
measure may finally pass at this ses.
sion. The bill passed by the House in
Guided only such war claims as had
been abjudicated by the court of claims
under the Bowman act. The Senate
passed, IS substitute for the House
bill, general measure, including near
ly all claims that have been acted upon
by the court of claims, and among them
the Bowman act claims. If the Senate
will recede from its measure and accept
the House provisions there will be no
difficulty in securing an agreement,
but an insistence by the Senate upon
the sweeping provisions of it's own |
will probably prevent action |

The Baltimore Sun says: 1.-The new
and high taxes will continue after the
war aud will probably be increased, if
the war spirit continues, to build big
navy and maintain it. England's pres
ent feet cost her some 6O0,0O0,000 and
we shall want one as big, at az annual
cost for maintenance of some 10000
600 a year." But what is all this to
the felicities and bestitudes OF a war
waged to save few negroes and half
breeds in Cuba from alleged starvation?
That such starvation was altogether
imaginary is proved by the fact that
though they were receiving supplies
previous to the war, none Of them has
starved since the war commenced,
though all such supplies have been cut
off for more than two months.

MR.. GRosvENoR is right when he
says the Spanish, is republican war.
But, all the same, the democrats supply
most of its soldiers, and their Congress
men scramble over each other in their
anxiety to vote the money required for
Its prosecution; and when it shall be
over, and its conquered territories be
annexed, and the people thereof be
represented in Congress by republicans
from the North, the republican party
may well hope for long lease Of unin'
terrupted power. But the influence OF
wealth is daily growing stronger, es
,2ecially with the poor, most OF whom
are democrats.

the profit on The city gas works has
enabled the works 10 pay to the city
5000 and retain $500 in its treasury
besides supplying all the gas used by
the city Offices and the institutions to
which gas is furnished.
Mr.. Bayne.-That is the fact.
The joint convention then dissolved.
MIR. Smith from the committee on
streets submitted several orders for
street repairs, which were acted upon,
as appears in the official proceed
ings IN another column.
He then submitted the ordinances for
repaving King street, from Fairfax to
Royal, which left indefinite the amount
to be paid out by the city auditor.
Mr. Uhler urged that definite ap-
preparation should be made aud the
amount not left uncertain.
The ordinance was then amended by
limiting the amount to be paid out by
the auditor to 81, 900 and in this shape
the ordinances were unanimously
adopted.
Mr.. Trimyer asked whether the al
ley running into Prince street opposite
the Gazette Office was public or pri-
vate alley. He knew by his own sense
of smell that it was in bad condition,
and his own family, which lived near
its mouth, had been, on some summer
evenings, driven within doors by its
foul orders.
Mr.. Smith said that these alleys are
all private and that complaint on the
subject should be made to the Mayor.
The committee on streets had nothing
to do with the matter.
The chair suggested that if the atten-
ton of the Mayor is called to any
nuisance he will see that it is abated.
The board then adjourned.

THE authorities of Florida, not IN

good reason, object to the landing OF
soldiers and sailors from Cuba and
Porto Rico, sick with the contagious
and infectious diseases of those coun-
tries. at the ports of their State. With
all the money Congress has appropri-
ated for the use of the army and navy,
Ehere should certainly be enough to
supply the sick referred to with proper
hospital accommodations in the coun-

the risk of importing pestilential dis

CHARGES AGAINST a PREACHER.
The case of Rev. DR.. A. Jaeger, OF
Lynchburg, who is charged with i'm
moral conduct will be tried by an &c
clesiastical court consisting of five
clergvmen of the Episcopal Diocese OF
Southern Virginia. DR.. Jaeger is a
Hebrew by birth and was born in
Austria. After receiving a thorough
and careful education he came to the
United States, and while residing in a
southern city he left the Jewish Church
for which he had been educated, and
affiliated with the Baptist denomina-
ton. Subsequently he connected him
self with the Episcopal Church and has
remained identified with it up to the
present time, being now member OF
the Diocese of Southern Virginia. The
date of the trial has not as yet been
definitely determined. Dr. Jaeger mar
ried Miss Annie Wilmer, sister of
Rev. 9. B. Wilmer, few years ago. For
many months the relations between Dr.
Jaeger and Mr.. Wilmer, have been in
tensely strained. At one time Mr..
Wilmer, on the strength of representa-.
tons made to him after his return from
q northern trip by certain parties,
swore ogt warrant charging DR..
Jaeger with lunacy, but the warrant,
at the solicitation of friends, was with
drawn. DIR. Jaeger at one time swore
out warrants charging Mr.. Wilmer with
assaulting him. Mr.. Wilmer was tried
on one of the warrants by q Campbell
county Justice and was acquitted, The
trial on the other warrant has not yet
taken place. The trial, it is said, will
be of very sensational nature. DIR.
Jaeger will be remembered by a mum
Der of Alexandrians. In the !early part
of the summer of 1875 he preached IN
