TUESDAY, AUGUST %, 1898.
They Should Get Out.

1t is to the interest of this country
that American governors should be put
in charge of Havana and San Juan, in
Porto Rico, at once. The terms of the
protocol do not compel the President to
delay until the military commission in
each case makes arrangement for the
evacuation of the two islands. If
Blanco should begin the shooting of
citizens who favor American occupa-
tion, the President would surely oust
him without waiting for the meeting
of the commission. He may be doing
that for all that is known to the con-
trary. At San Juan, it is said, the
news of the peace has been kept from
the people as far as possible, and the
jails are yawning for the natives who
are impolitic enough to express senti-
Spaniards. The situation there and at
Havana is anything but good.
1t is to be remembered that a part
of the Spanish troops now at San Juan
ruthlessly slaughtered the people of Ci-
ales, including women and children,
for cheering the American flag. No
demand has been made on the Spanish
commander for the murderers. There
is reason to fear the looting of the
capital, with the outrages which Span
iards alone are base enough to perpetu-
ate, as soon as, the arrangements are
made for its evacuation. That Blanco
at Havana is bastard enough to allow
hi nd ha lot
ter including criminals who were re-
leased from prison to make Spanish
rule devilish-to rob and murder all
who are suspected of disloyalty to
Spain, there is only too much reason to
think The jails at Havana are crowd
ed with political prisoners. many of
whom will die from neglect before the
commission can complete its plans for
the removal of the Spanish army. We
believe the Americans will have cause
to deplore the policy of allowing the
enemy to hold the two capitals pend
ing the slow action of the commissions,
the American members of which are
still in this country.
A demand for the abdication of Blan-
co and Macias, one of whom, at least,
has expressed his dissatisfaction with
his government for its peace ar
rangement, would be useful in bring
ing Premier Sagasta to book. We
should see then-and it is important
that we should-whether he persists in
his opinion that this is merely state
of truce which does not bind Spain to
evacuate this hemisphere, but only to
an agreement to talk about it. Before
we muster out large part of our army
and scatter our warships we ought to
know exactly how far Spain considers
herself bound by the authorized sigma
ture of NJ. Cambon. On all accounts
the immediate removal of the two
Spanish governors is expedient.

For Consumptives.
(From the Chicago Record.)

The gift by Mr.. Otto Young Of 100000 to build
a hospital for consumptives helps to supply a
need greatly felt in this community. There has
been a lack Of institutions where coEsumptives
could go and be well cared for They would not
be taken at the ordinary hospitals because of
patients Mr.. Young has rendered the public a
great service in providing a hospital especially
for those afflicted with this malady. The hospital
provided by Mr.. Young is to be under the control
and direction of the Chicago Home for Incurables
There is also need in Chicago and its vicinity,
however, for more hospitals for the care of con-
sumptives whose cases not beyond hope OF
recovery. Recent experience in other places, no.
tably New York, has shown that higher per-
centage Of consumptive cases be cured by
proper hospital treatment than previously had
been supposed possible. In this connection 1t is
gratifying TO learn that provision is being made
at Dunning by the county authorities for special
hospital facilities for consumptive patientA

Harrisburg. Pa, Aug. a.-The heavy
movement Of the troops Of the Second Di-
vision Of the Second Army Corps. from
Thoroughfare Gap indicates that the
entire corps will be under canvas at
Camp Meade before the end of the month.
There has been considerable gossip in
unohicial quarters about the retention of
the First Division, under command OF
Gen. Goblin, at Dunn Loring. owing to
the alleged insufficiency of water and
elbow room at Camp Meade, but an Off,
Ger Of Gen. Craham's stan stated today
that the First Division would certainly
follow the Second Division to the new

a change was not impossible, but he did
not think 1t probable.
There are a few cases In the hospital.

the chief medical officer of the corps. Is
doing everything possible to prevent sick

Boston Indignation.

The more that is heard Of the treatment Of
our soldiers in Cuba and in the camps in this
country, the greater is the indignation that is
aroused and the more evident does it become
that hundreds Of brave men have been sent
to their death and thousands more have been
submitted 70 great suffering simply through the
incompetency or worse of officials in high places
The fighting branch Of our service. the men who
have led brigades, battalions and companies to
meet the foe, have proved Themselves brave TEL
lows, worthy Of the trust reposed in them by the
country. But those, or many Of them, to whom
was intrusted the most important duties Of put
ting our soldiers into condition for efficient
service, and Of caring for them when i'll or
wounded, have shown themselves woefully in
efficient tI,s
The sad truth Is this: More, many more, men
in our gallant army have been killed by the
incompeteney and neglect Of their odicers than
we're victims Of Spanish bulleta

1t is apparent that the public is not
satisfied with the explanation contained
in Alger's letter to Depew. AS the soldiers
reach their homes with detailed accounts
towns are aroused to the highest point of
indignation. Members of Congress are
bocnbarded with letters demanding Il
searching inquiry that will locate the re-
sponsibility. 1t is unwise for the Wash
ington officials to pretend to be satisfied
with the inconclusive denials that have
been made.
The evening times., 1898-08-23

The repeated charge that General Shaft
er did not deal fairly with Garcia may
not have any foundation, but the matter
is one that should concern the Washing
ton authorities, who have shown no dis
position to make an investigation. In fact,
there appears to be a strong and domi-
nant sentiment against any investigation
Of the many charges in relation to the
Santiago campaign.

You cannot balk Yankee. Joe Wilson, Of
Bradford, was in the trenches before Santiago,
and during a lull in the fighting decided to
