SPANISH FEAR THE CUBANS
Afraid that Santiago VIII He Left to
Tender Mercies of GAR
cia's Men.

Copyright, 1898, by Press Publishing Coz
SANTIAGO, July 30.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.) 1.-The Span
ish born merchants and Spanish residents
of Santiago are in a state Of panic over
the reported intention to withdraw the
American forces from the city. leaving it
to the tender mercies of the Cuban in3ur-
gents. There is a we'll defined idea among
many Of the Cubans that exact justice
would give them the right to plumber the
Spanish royalists in compensation for the
sufferings which they have endured at the
hands of Spanish tyrants. Leading Spanish
citizens say that while the whole island
would welcome an American administration
of affairs they are in abject fear that the
Cubans will ultimately control and will
introduce a species of brigandage and re-
prisal.
General Toral, expressing this view to an
American officer Wednesday night, sighed
gloomily and said he had hoped the island
would fare better and preparations are
making for a popular protest to Mckinley
against turning the city over to the tender
mercies Of General Garcia's men, who are
still hanging around the outskirts of the
American army and connecting regularly
with the daily ration train. There is no
communication between General Shafter and
General Garcia. An aide to Garcia says
Gomez and Garcia will issue an appeal to
the people of the United States.
The sick rate among American troops con-
tinues high. Nearly half the army is down
with calenture and other climatic troubles,
though the death rate among the soldiers
is very small. LOUIS SEIBOLDT.

MAY NOT KEEP PHILIPPINES
Spain Thinks ii TOO Much Trouble to
Hold on to Those
Islands.

MADRID, July 29.-(Message Forwarded
Privately Across Spanish Frontier. )-(New
York World Cablegram-Special Telegram.)
"A director of the Bank Of Spain said to
ME today: w believe that the United
States will not insist upon keeping their
hold on the Philippines. Very wisely they
want to avert a scramble for the partition
Of our archipelagoes in which the European
powers. especially Russia, Germany, France
and perhaps England, would ask a share,
and would become unpleasant ~neighbors
for America there, to say nothing of Japan.
"What we do apprehend is, In the first
place, that If America returns the colony to
us, we will have to spend much money in
reconquering and keeping u and, in the
second place, that our rule Were will al
ways be overshadowed and crippled by
American influences, exactly as 1t was in
Cuba. That is why our business men ques-
ton the expediency of retaining the Phil

sAGASTA LOOKS FOR PEACE
Confident that Hostilities Will he
Suspended and Everything Set
tied on nm AmicnbIe Basis.

Copyright. 1898, by Press Publishing Coz
MADRID, July 20 Cvia the Frontier).-
New York World Cablegram-Special Tele-
gram premier Sagasta is very confident
Of securing peace because of President Nc
Kinley's conciliatory disposition. He de-
clared explicitly that he has received a mes
sage stating that Mr.. Mckinley has con-
sented virtually to negotiations on the basis
proposed by Spain. That means that hos
tilities are to be suspended in Cuba, the
Philippines and Porto Rico In order to me-
gotiate a peace, starting from the van
tage ground that the chief, II not the only,
object Of the wal was the recognition of
Cuban independence.
SPANS foreign minister, the duke OF AL
modovar, said today that the message sent
to President Mckinley was by no means
couched in the terms reported in the Amer
lean dispatches, and that, moreover, 1t does
not contain a single sentence published in
the Madrid papers in alleged extracts from
1t. The duke says the message was drawn
up very correctly and has not been COM
municated to the foreign powers except in
the way Of informing them that a step has
been taken in the direction of peace. He
declined to furnish any details in regard to
what the note contains, saying that only
fTeSluGHI MCfNluiey COulu properly no tnaI.
He was not aware that the president had
yet given the document or said a word
about it to American or foreign correspond
ents.
The first persons in Spain to express an
opinion on the reported conditions of peace
were the financiers and commercial men. In
general they approve almost any proposition
which will stop the war and an expenditure
which is ruinous to Spanish finance. They
say hat the loss of Cuba and Porto Rico
will bear heaviest on SPANS export trade,
the manufacturing and the shipping inter-
ests, but their chief anxiety Is to know what
will be done about the Cuban debts existing
when the insurrection began in 1896 and
about the $3.50, 900, 900 guaranteed by Spain.
They are next most anxious about the bur
den of expenditure incurred since 1895, in
Guiding the war with America, amounting to
5000, 900, 900, the interest on which, like the
older Cuban loan, will have to be paid by the
wretched Spanish taxpayers.
The consequences Of this war, they say,
must lead to a reduction of principal and in
terest of all SPANS debts If the budgets are
even to balance. Nevertheless, they are in
tensely pleased at the prospect of peace, hav-
ing faith in the recuperative powers and
natural resources Of the nation, if a civil war
as a consequence of a peace treaty with
America can be averted.

APPEALS TO CONGRESS.
Federation OF Labor Asks for Legislation To
Benefit ExIRtIng Conditions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The legislative
committee of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, consisting of President
Samuel Gompers, Secretary Frank M.
orrison and Mr.. Andrew Fureseth, by
direction of the 18th annual conven-
tion of the federation, held in Nash
vile in December last, has issued an
address to the members of the Fifty
Fifth congress. After calling atten-
ton to the introduction of modern
machinery and new business methods,
and the competition of convict labor,
by which wage workers are forced
into idleness and want, the committee
says that they feel that they have n
right to bring their grievances to the
attention of the law-making power
and to expect such definite measures
of relief as seems most likely to inn
prove their condition and preserve
their independence and freedom as
workers and citizens, and, therefore,
urge earnest efforts in enacting into
law, the following measures:
an olEHl-hbuI WuIN hNJ Ou WI pupAlo
works, such law to provide that all contracts or
sub-contracts for materials furnished or work
done must contain a proviso that eight hours
shall be the maximum labor OF any one in
divldual in any one calendar day. Further.
that 1t shall be the duty OF officials vested with
the power OF signing such contract TO withhold
their signatures until such proviso is inserted
therein.
Second-In order to stop the indiscrlmlnate
and dangerous use of the writ of injunction,
we urge the adoption OF senate bill No IS,
Third-In order TO, in some degree lessen
the competition of convict labor, we urge the
adoption Of law to prohibit the trnnsporta-
tion OF prison made goods from one state into
any other state or territory
Fourth-We urge the adoption Of reasona-
BILE law to restrict undesirable immigration,
such law to be based upon an educational
qualification.

was found, slashed with table knife, in the
pastors study Of the Emmanuel Baptist church.
and the next day, Easter Sunday, the body of
Blanche Lamont, normal school student. who
disappeared from home April g. was found in

he would not say that he thought Dur
rant innocent and the condemned man
declined to accept his services unless
RAIDER professed belief in his inno-
cence.
While Durrant was convicted of but
one murder under the law, he was held
responsible by public opinion for the
murder of both Blanche Lamont and
Minnie Williams, and it is felt that his
death expiates one crime as much as
the other. Durrant's crimes were Pc
culiar in their atrocity from any point
of view. He was reared in Christian
home, and until the time of his arrest
was regarded as a model young man of
industrious habits, who was trying to
work his way through medical col
lege. The only characteristic that
seemed marked in his nature was his
piety. He had been prominent MEM

There is a time-honored notion that
a nap after meals promotes digestion,
and, filled with this belief, large num-
Der of persons habitually take nap
after dinner, and think they are doing
precisely the best thing for their
health. There are othergood authorities,
too, who claim that sleep during di-

poses those who indulge in it to apo
pleXy and stupidity. A French scientist
has made this subject a study, and by

that sleep does not aid digestion, but

New YORK, Jan. S.-Bradstreet's re.
port says:
The year opens with q tone of quiet conf
dence pervading nearly oil branches Of bust

of industrial employees in the western glass in
dustry largely reduced volume Of business
failures as compared with corresponding
periods in preceding years and u general out
look certainly not inferior to any previous year
at this time, Distributlve trade has naturally
been rather slow, pending stock taking and the
return Of statesmen to the field. While the
volume of distributive business is not large,
industrial activity is a special feature uncon-
fined to any section, but specially notable in
the west Resumption Of work after the holi-
days has been generally encouraging in that
section.
Naturally enough, there was slight gain In
the number Of failures reported this week over
last the total aggregating $685. against 297 last
week, but n heavy falling of from 1897 when
the total was 4s8 The total in this week of
1896 was 446; in 1895, 4O5 and in 1894, 4S4, thus
showing falling of from this week in recent
preceding years Of from one-quarter to one
third.
The total number Of failures OF national,
state, savings and private banks and loan and
trust companies in 1897 was 1885, n little more
than half those of 1896 and less than one-fifth
those of the panic year, 1893 Liabilities also
showed heavy falling Of being 90 per cent
smaller than in 1895 and 90 per cent smaller
than in 1893 The number and liabilities. how
ever, were slightly larger than in 1894 The
percentage Of assets to liabilities in 1897 was
only 76 the smallest reported since Bradstreets
