That May Result in Allaying Discomfort and
Bringing Peace to the Island.
Garcia and Other Chiefs Resolved to Disband Their
Forces if the United States Will Pay the Men About
$4,000, OOO-Resignation of General Banco.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 15.-Trouble
is one of sullen hostility toward Americans.
The better class in Cuba favor the annexa-
ton of the island to the United States and
majority of the masses are ready and
anxious to work and accept the shelter and
protection afforded by an American protec-
torate, but they are influenced by a certain
class of rabid orators and breeders of sedi-
ton and rebellion against anything smack
ing of law and order.
This infammatory class demands and
urges the recognition of Cuba for Cubans
to prosperity under an American protec-
torate, and exites popular discomfort This
is exactly the class that pushes itself most
into evidence and whose views and opinions
are most overheard and published. Their
advice to the Cubans is to repudiate all Of
fers of peace or a cessation of hostilities
and to look on an armistice as an agree
ment between the United States and Spain
on their own account and not binding upon
the free and Independent state of Cuba,
whose liberating army not only repudiates
pacification, but will ignore the armistice
to the point of continuing to wage war and
shooting every Spaniard in the field.
A wild rumor is afloat to the effect that
the Cuban army will attack Santiago and
capture it, to the glory of the Cuban arms.
as soon as the American garrison is weak
ened. This is directly traceable to the same
source.
The influence exerted by such a body of
men against law and order is formidable.
These people demand suppression with an
iron hand. While still in embryo, their in
fuence is already felt among certain classes,
who refuse to work or serve the govern
ment until clear statement Of the free
dom and independence OF their country is
made. A knowledge of this condition is
imperative to the molding of future policy
and to explain whatever harsh steps are
rendered necessary in dealing with the in
surgents.
The official report submitted to General
Shafter by Collector of the Port Donaldson
shows the customs revenues from July 80
to Aug 10 to be s64,2l5, an excellent show
ing for the first fortnight of American ad-
ministration.

placed at the service Of the Red Cross So

demands recognition to the extent of fur

THE ORDNANCE BUREAU
Anxious for a Report on the Effective
ness of the New War Rifle.


WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-The cessation
of hostlities will not make any difference
with the Engineer and Ordnance bureaus of
the War Department in the matter of push
ing work on the Notifications. The en-
gineers will be as active as ever, and the
Ordnance Office will continue it's work in
manufacturing and mounting the big guns
on the fortifications. The Ordnance Bureau
will not be as active as heretofore in get
ting together a supply of small arms for
the infantry and cavalry and field artillery.
In fact, it has enough of such arms on
hand, and has discontinued operations in
this direction. No further definite reports
have been received as to the number of
Mauser rifles which were captured at San
tiago or details as to the condition in which
they were found. 1t is generally believed
that the Spanish troops in Cuba which had
not surrendered at the time the protocol
was signed will be allowed to retain their
arms and take them back to SPAIN In
definite reports have reached the Ordnance
Bureau indicating the Spanish troops have
had great deal of trouble with the Mauser
guns on account of their complicated fea-

quently. The Ordnance Bureau is awaiting
with some interest the report or the army
officers regarding the frearm drills, espe-
cially as to the new Krag-Jorgensen rifle
with which the regulars are armed. Some
doubts have been expressed regarding it, as
magazine guns subject to the high pressure
which these rifles have to stand are often
rendered less effective than they have been
represented. Many army officers have been
of the opinion that the 45-caliber rifle, with
SmOkeleSS powder is one of the most af-
fective small arms that can be used. The
Ordnance Bureau will thoroughly investi-
gate the merits of the different arms used
with view to having the army equipped

The three bitterest opponents Of
Hawaiian annexation in congress are
Representative Bailey Of Texas; Sen
ator White of California, and Senator
Pettigrew of South Dakota. The n.
Y. Journal, Democratic paper, says
Mr.. Pettigrew's state was part OF
the Louisiana purchase, whose acqui-
sition was believed by Jefferson him
self, the very man that accomplished
it, to be unconstitutional, and was de.
nounced by its opponents as usurp-
alton jSstifying the dissolution of the
union. Mr.. Bailey's state was re-
public established by band of revo
lutionary American settlers, just as
the Hawaiian was, and annexed by q
joint resolution, just as the Hawaiian
republic will be. Mr.. Whites state
was torn from Mexico by a war of
conquest, in which the Mexicans
were urged by the intellectual pro
genitors of the present opponents of
Hawaiian annexation to welcome the
American troops with bloody hands
to hospitable graves. If the idea of
these gentlemen had prevailed in the
past the United States would now
have been bound by Florida on the
south and the Mississippi on the west.
Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Pettigrew would
have had to seek their honors in the
overcrowded fields of Mississippi and
Vermont. and Mr.. White would have
had to select some other state than
California to be born in.

The Denver News has been the
most uncompromising advocate of
Organism west of the Mississippi
river. and possibly the most inAuen-
tial. 1t is not frightened by the cry
of "imperialism" and does not pro-
pose to allow Mr.. Bryan or any one
else to dictate what views the people
of Colorado shall hold as to the ex-
tension of our national influence.
The News says:
eff it is imperialism to annex a
group of islands which command the
Pacific Ocean, and which would be
and of necessity must be the stopping
place of hostile feet directed
against our western coast, then it is
imperialism to annex Hawaii, and the
News is for imperialism. A name
will frighten no one. The word i'm
perial' does not necessarily mean pei,
tanning to an emperor or an empire.
It means possessing commanding
power or dignity; it means predomi-
nance. Among its synonyms are ex
alted, grand, magnificent and su
preme. The United States should
have commanding power and dignity
and predolninance in the oceans that
wash both its coasts. That is what
the News stands for, let it be called
by whatever name it will"
The Globe Democrat says the sig
nifcance of this expression by news
paper that idolizes Mr.. Bryan and
has made Organism its political Bible
is that the new experiment which
events are forcing the nation to try is
not matter of party policy, and can
not be made Sc by the efforts of Mr..
Bryan. 1t is question on which the
people will divide on lines entirely
independent of party politics.

Two years ago the country was
warned by impassioned orators upon
the stump that business conditions
could not and would not improve 80
long as the country clung to the hat
ed gold standard; that the free coin
age of silver was absolutely indispen
sable to the future we'll being of the
country at large, and especially so to
the silver states; and that without it
business interests in the silver states
would go to rack and ruin. But the
people favored the retention of the
gold standard, and under it business
is developing at an almost unprece
dent rate. The Capital says the fol
lowing clipping from a Colorado pa

stored up the free silver trust in so
