WHAT ALGER IA, TO SAY.
a Statement Regarding the Troops
ct santiago.

n Stattnfeht nekhFuInS the IrOOpB
at Santiago.
Washington. Aug. In proof of the
allegation that the war department.
had bestirred itself to succor the I'M
fortunate army in Santiago before the
united protest was made the following
statement was given out by the secre-
tary of val regarding the shipment OF
troops north from Santiago:
Until quite recently il was sup
posed that yellow fever was epidemic
in Santiago. and it was not believed
that it would be safe TO send ship
loads north of men largely infected
with yellow fever. The disease, 1t was
believed, would rapidly spread on
shipboard and result i'm the death and
burial of many at sea. On the 18th
ult. the secretary of war telegraphed
10 Gen. Shafter that as soon as the
fever subsidized the men of his COM
mand would he moved north to n
camp hat had been selected for them
on Montauk Point. On the Both OF
July Gen. Shafter telegraphed the sec
rotary Of wal that he had informed
the troops they would be moved north
as soon as the fever had subsidized, and
it had a very good effect on them.
When the true condition was made
known an order was issued to Gen.
Shafter to move his command as rap.
idly as possible, and all ships in the
uuartermaster's service possible to get
there would be sent, including the
Yale and Harvard. Over 40 surgeons
and a number Of immune nurses have
been sent 10 Santiago in addition to
the usual hospital corps that attends
such a brigade. There We're less
deaths by yellow fever at Santiago
than by typhoid fever in any camp OF
the same size in the United States.
BustIe at Santiago.
Santiago, Aug. From the moment
Secretary Ayers cable message was
received ordering the instant removal
of the army north, everything has
been hustle and activity at headquar-
ters. The transports here. six in num-
Der. have been ordered to discharge
their cargoes and TO get ready without
loss of time TO take on board the first
shipments. Other transports are ex-
pected here shortly, and il Is expected
that eighteen transports will soon be
conveying the soldiers back to the
Emitted States. The Yale and Har-
ward, among others, are understood 10
be on their way here.

less than thirty days. Meanwhile, from
Kingston and Port Antonio come reports
that large quantities of supplies are being

General Linares now commands the mill

DEATH TOKEN.
from First Page1

Powell had been firing since the SpaniardS
opened He also was perfectly cool. Both
launches ran out under heavy fire of from
six to eight minutes. estimate that there
were twenty-five Spaniards on the parapet
of the old fort. The number along the shore
was larger, but indefinite. The launches
as soon as was practicable sheered to give
the Vixen the range of the fort. The Vixen
and the Texas silenced the shore fire
promptly.
II strongly commend Cadet Hart and
Cadet Powell for their cool management of
the launches. One launch was struck sew
en- times. Nobody in either was hurt A
bullet struck a shell at Cadet Harris feet
between the projectie and the powder, but
failed to explode the latter. Coxswain
O'Donnell and Seaman Bloom are commend
ed, as is also the GOODNESS with which the
marines and sailors worked under the Span
ish fire.
Nothing was learned at Cabanas bay, but
at Guayaganaco it is evident a landing is
practicable for ships boats. The same is
true of Rancho Cruz, small bay to the
eastward. Both would be valuable with
Cabanas, but useless without it. L am in
formed that to the north and westward of
Cabanas bay there is large clearing with
plenty of grass and water. I think a
simultaneous landing at the three places
named would be practicable if the ships
shell the adjacent wood. A junction would
naturally follow at the clearing

That dogs have committed suicide or died

one weakness-it loves to sleep on satin
bed coverlid or a plush sofa, which is, or
course, prohibited action. When its mis-

yields to the temptation and takes nap in

The sum Spain sought to borrow was 100-
100000 pesetas. The bait held out was liberal
promises in the way Of favors TO the French
capitalists who were interested in Spanish
railroads.
There resulted from this sale of SC, 100000
pesetas In Cuban bonds by the Banque de
Oyertures were also made to the Roth
scnfldS to take up some of the bonds. The
famous Almaden quicksilver mines were Of
fered as security for the proposed loan, and
the deal was almost on the point of consum-
nation when the Rothschilds drew out re-
fusing the lease of the mines. In November,
1896, Spain asked for 400 O0O,GO0 pesetas nj
per cent, the bonds to run for eight years
and made good by, the customs Of the king
dom. These bonds were taken largely in
France and return about 392 600 900 pesetas

Whicn, however, mad to go TO make good
the previous loan of the Banque de Paris ct
Pays Bas.
These transactions were followed by
others of a similar nature, all guaranteed
by Spain herself but charged against the
myth known as Cuban resources.
In the mysterious course of her financial
engineering the bulk of these so-called Gu
ban bonds journeyed back to Spain, and are
to-day in Spanish hands. 1t is what are
known as the Spanish per cent. externals
This particular issue of bonds was ham
died originally by the English banks and
brokers to great extent, but judging from
England's present excess of friendship for
the United States, one is led to the belief
that very few are now held there.
the United States, but whether or not the
holding is large is of course purely matter
of conjecture.
The secret will not be divuged until the
war is over and the question of indemnity
comes up for settlement. Then those who
own the bonds will be much in evidence,
working their various pulls to secure an adj
justment that will not leave the Spanish
tours on the chilly side of nowhere. cam
vasS of Wall street revealed the curious
fact that Spanish bonds are not held in
quite the high esteem one might fancy.
Said a well-known broker:
Spain is really much richer country
than the public supposes, and can meet her
obligations, heavy as they are, when the
war ceases. France had a greater debt to
provide for when the Franco russian war
came to an end, and yet stood firm"
Another broker, largely interested in for
eign banks, sa i:
Even if Spain loses Cuba, as she newt
ably must, and Cuba be annexed to the
United States, it will be necessary to quiet
in some way the claims held against the
island. The day has gone by when the
worlds financial hackers can be jobbed out
of money advanced in good faith to a nation
in distress. In the final settlement between
Spain and the United States the interests
represented by the holders of Spanish bonds
will have to be recognized and made Sc

The Future of Poetry.
Boston Transcript.

There is no special fad on now in fiction.
People have nearly all they can do to keep
up with fact and get very nearly enough
fiction in trying to live abreast of fact in
this world of rumors and contradictions
Everybody seems to be moved by hope
Of something fine in letters after all this
stirring up. Professor Thomas thinks we
shall even have poetry again by and by
And why not? THE world does not grow
old in any but a geological sense. 1t re-
news its youth continually. Each genera
ton sets out with fresh eagerneSs, as IL
it were a new thing to live. Under slightly
different forms it dreams the same old
dreams and kindleS to the same old pas
sions as in the days Of Homer. 1t is touched
anew by the same sorrows, and finds joy
in the same old sources. Now it is this
ever-renewed youth of the human heart
that guarantees the future of poetry. We
need have nc fear OF permanent deca-
dence of the art. 1t will have its ups and
downs. Old forms will wear themselves
out, but others will come to take their
places. There will be sterile epochs like
our own, in which men will wonder, as
many do now, If poetry has not really had
appropriating new domains and exerting it's
old influence as the most intellectual and
the most useful of the arts. 1t is an an
Gent effluence of the human soul, has lived
through all kinds of vicisSitudes. and will
survive in the future for the same reason
as in the past. And that reason is, in
word, that it meets and satisfies, as no
other art can, certain fundamental and inn
perishable needs of human nature" The
newspapers of the land which are now
seething over with more or less patriotic
verse Once in while, too, a hopeful
reader comes across a very good StanZa.

SPANISH BONDS.
Something About the Negotiations
and Those Who Hold the Paper.

Ph1ladelphla Press.
The customs of the Philippine islands
are pledged to make good loan that was
subscribed since the war there began Just
as all OF SPANS other resources are mort
gagged to the last dollar almost to secure
the various issues of bonds she has been
compelled to make TO carry on her wars
Spain WAS in financial hot water long be-
fore the present trouble in Cuba and the
volt which terminated in 1878, and the
former Cuban rebellion, left the country on
the verge of bankruptcy.
But in spite of this in 1898 the national
finances had been so far pulled up out of
the slough that Spanish per cent. bonds
were selling at about .63 in the money
centers of the world. and at this figure re-
turned to investors profit of per cent.
The war with Cuba turned the financial
tide against Spain once more. The cost of
this war has from the first been charged
against the resources of the island, but as
these ceased to exist as soon as the insur-
rection gained Roadway. the mother coun-
try was forced to guarantee the debt
In March 1895, Sagasta's Cabinet found
II necessary to borrow from the Bank OF
to about IS cents in our money. This los \
was secured by the Cuban per cent. bonis
of $780,
The next administration. when II came
into power, got an additional loan or 2o,OOO,-
900 pesetas from the same source. giving. as
before, Cuban bonds as security. This money
all went toward defraying the cost OF the
war.
Later on Spain made an appeal to the
French banks, which in former times had
rendered her assistance IN her oifncuiues-
