SANTA FEE HOLD-UP.

Denver, July 21.-A special to the News from Fort Worth, Tex, says: The southbound Santa Fe passenger train, due here at 10:20 tonight, was held up near Saginaw, eight miles north of here, by masked men. The robbers ordered the engineer to run to the north of Fort Worth three miles from the city.
 A sheriff's posse, the city police and armed citizens have gone to the scene on a yard engine. A report has reached here that some seventy-five shots were exchanged by the robbers and officers. No definite facts can be learned at present

THtTALk or PEACE.
rhe Rumors of Spain Seeking Peace
 Are Unfounded.

Washington. July 2I.-On the most positive authority the statement can be made that Spain has not direct ly or indirectly hinted at the subject of peace. She is standing off in a sul- len attitude and the administration IS in doubt what the D0ns will do- The president and his cabinet have hopes of peace, but the hope lacks a great deal of being substantial. It IS ire quently not founded on anything sub- stantial. ..The president knows no more of what Spain will do than any citizen of the country" said cabinet officer this afternoon "H Spain had common sense she would sue tor peace" said the same official, but in the same breath he expressed a doubt as to whether commYl sense exists in the Spanish nation.
 It is equally certain that the longer Spain keeps the war going the more severe will be the conditions she will have to meet Three or four weeks ago, it is said, the president would probably have been satisfied to accept terms which would free Cuba, give us Porto Rico and a coaling station in the Philippines. It is now doubtful whether he would accept these condi- tions from Spain. The longer the wal is kept up the greater the .orce to be used in the matter of conquest. After Porto Rico the CanarieS will fall, ano then Havana will be taken last. Spain will have reduced herself to the last extremity.

ALMOST A TRAGEDY.

Pana, H., July 21.-The coal strike today came near resulting in a trag- edy. The union miners and their wives in accordance with their day and night custom, surrounded the Springside, Panwell and Pana mines to intercept any non-union miners No man showed up for worh at the Panwell or the Pana. Two farmers started for the Springside mine and were met by union miners and asked for an interview and were answered by one of the men drawing a revolver and firing into the crowd The miner who was aimed at lodged, but his face was burned with powder from the explosion. He attacked the two men unarmed, and Charles Sprees, one of the men. was so severely beaten that surgeons were required. Mayor Pen well, one of the operators of the Pan we'll mine. said today he would op- crate his mine if he had to use a stockade.

PRICE OF THE WAR.
Porto Rico at Least Will Be Exacte6
 by the United States.

Washington, July 21.-The authorij tative statement was made today that Porto Rico will be heIu as the price of the war. The subjoined statement was made officially to the Associated Press: Porto Rico will be kept by ! the United States. That is settled and has been the plan from the first. Once taken, it will never be released1 It will pass forever into the hands of the United States and there has never been any other thought. Its posses sion will go toward making up the heavy expense of the war to the
 United States. Our flag once raised there will flow over the island perma nently.''
 The future or the Philippines is a matter of development and SO far no certain policy has been finally adopted regarding these islands They are subject to developments in the situa- tion in the Pacific Il is intimated, however, though not definitely set tied, that the Ladrones might follow the fate of Porto Rico and become our permanent possession, beng valuable as coaling and supply station for our ships when en route fer eastern Asia 1tl4

Washington, July 21.-Major-Gen-

 battle of July and before Santiago, contains the following item of inter est: During the action I was ac- companied most of the time by Major General J. c. Breckinridge, inspector general, U. S. A., and had the advan- tage of his valuable suggestions and
 advice during the day, for which I
 desire to express my. sincere appreci-
 ation. His horse was shot under him
 on the advance on Santiago on the
 morning of the 2d instant I desire also to commend for gallantry and
 courageous conduct in this battle, and for faithful and valuable service gen. orally, MT. B. L. D. Breckinridge, tha
 son of Major J. c. Breckinridge, who has also been on duty on my staff as
 volunteer aide during the campaign.
 MT. Breckinridge is a refined and ed heated gentleman in every respect and has proved in battle his courage and | coolness. I earnestly recommend that he be appointed a second lieu tenant in the army in consideration of his service rendered in this battle.'

JOLLYING THE CUBANS.
To Prevent a Continuance of the Rev. s, E olution.

New York, July 21.-According to a Times special from Washington, a member of the cabinet, speaking about the unfortunate attitude of the Cubans at Santiago, said he feared it would take time to correct the misapprehen- sion of the Cupan insurgents that the United States proposed to erect mil itary government wherever the United States forces overcame the Spaniards
 If the Cubans persist in bringing on a contest with the United States in their determination to admit of no participa- tion by the Spaniards in the govern ment of the island and a condition of rebellion against the United States is maintained, it is not considered i'm probable that the condition of the is land will continue to be one of revolu- tion. It is also the administrators view that the presidents programme as laid down in his proclamation, will

is1on: craftsmanship, indeed, counts or little in battle, and modern arms re certainly less deadly than ancient The old proverb that every bullet has ts billet has given place to the mili- o kill a man. This applies equally to lrtillery and rife fire.
 War does not increase the mortality ,niong soldiers so greatly as one would Epect. In South Africa in 1879 GA per l,G00 British soldiers died or were titled, while in Egypt in 1885 the death ate in battle averaged trif1e over 1 per 10000 In twelve years of small vars 1896 British soldiers were killed put of 92,650 engaged, a shade over Is per cent. The returns for the Ameri- ;an civil war were got out with great care, and they showed that the total leaths during the five years were 166,- 623, and averaged 70 per 1000 of the iorce engaged. In the Franco-German war the mortality was 50 per 1000 oi the troops engaged during the seven months. Official statistics show that .1e,812 German soldiers were wounded 0f these 99,566 recovered, II ,023 died ir hospital and 6,223 on the field of battle It appears that soldiers lower limb: are most frequently wounded.
 Few men are killed outright nova lays, and that the wounded general, recover. whereas in the days of thu sword and lance men were killed out right or finished off after the battl. was won. In fact, there would be nor, slaughter in battle between tn, ancient RritOuS and the Romans arm ed respectively with stone axes ant short swords, than between two mod ern armies equipped with magazin, rifles, smokeless powder and powerful artillery; the question would be set tied just as satisfactorily and witt less expense, for it costs e1 .48O to sla, man in modern warfare.-LondoI Mail.

would be secured if a more savage pol icy were followed. Friends of Cuba here who read with regret the infor- nation and comment from Santiago, are said to have set about correcting the tendency discovered by press cor respondents and at the same time an admonition has been sent to Santiago by the war department to the officers in control to restrain an apparent in clipation to make much of the Span iards and to treat the Cubans with contempt. That this should have hap pened is considered extremely unfor- tunate,

A TON or SHOT.
Every Bullet Has Moi Ifs Billet in
 These -Days.-ee -f1

The popular idea that modern war fare is more deadly and bloody than fighting was in the past is not sup ported by available facts With ar nor plated ships, twelve-mile cannon, Maxim guns firing 1000 shots a min ute, and magazine rifles with a range Of three miles, war is undoubtedly scientific, but to parody a well known phrase, "it is not buggy
 In the days of hand-to-hand fighting. when missiles were employed but lit tie and the contest was decided by sword play, the vanquished were gen. rally almost annihilated and the vic tors suffered enormously. At Cannae 10000 Romans out of 80,000 were kill ed; at Hastings the victorious Nor mans lost 10000 out of 6O,OO0: at Crecy 3O,OG0 F'renchmen out of 1000 were killed, without reckoning the wounded; while at Bannockburn 135.- O0O men fought and 3S,000 were killed.
 But the mortality in the Crimean war was very slight when the number of shots fired are remembered It is estimated that the British troops fired 15,000,000 shots and killed 21,O0O Rus sians, or 700 shots for every death. The French fired 20,000,00O shots and killed 51 1000 Russians, or 590 shots for every death, while the Russians fired 45, 100000 shots and killed 1000 of the allies, or every 910th shot was suc- cessful
 In the Italian campaign of 1859 rifles were used on both sides, and the num- Der of casualties at Magenta and Sol ferino was 99 per 1000 combatants.
 The FrancO-Prussian war of 187O-71 was the first in which breech loading rifles were used, and, strange as it may seem, their introduction only corrobo- rated the foregoing facts that scientific war IS less deadly than natural.
 Thus the invention of gun powder reduced the proportion of killed and wounded among the troops engaged from about one-third to between one fourth and one-ffth-from 33O per L. 900 to between 250 and 200 per .OOO. And the adoption of breech loading rifles diminished it to about one-ninth (l11 per 1,00O), though that is greater than the mortality in the Franco-Prus- sian war. Military authorities now held that rapidity Of firing is more es- sential to success than range and pre-

Dewey Likely to Capture Manila With

Manila, July 17.-Admiral Dewey may decide to capture Manila before General Merritt arrives, in view of the possibility of an early peace and news from Cuba. The insurgents are renewing activity. The Spaniards now say they do not believe the re- Inducements promised ever will reach them and they despair of success. They will probably be compelled to surrender soon. as food is getting very scarce. They may pretend to fight the Americans for the sake of appearances, but the result will not be long in doubt if Dewey resolves to capture Manila wI... the forces at his disposal.
