s $ ENT PREACHED FAITH

London, August 29.-The papers are filled with discussions, comments, and opinions as to the circular of the Emperor Nicholas. The most world-shaking event has hardly produced such a coup as this suggestion, the fruition of which is regarded on all sides as an absolute impossibility |, This being holiday season, 1t is difficult to obtain the opinions of public men on the subject. The religious world, however, loudly welcomes and praises the Czars no- ble initiative. Numerous bishops have al- ready publicly expressed their views in that sense.
 Among statesmen interviewed, Lord Kim berly, liberal leader, declined to express nasty opinion beyond saying that the pro- posal was one of the utmost importance.
 The Marquis of Ripon said: T heartily wish the proposal all success"
 Sir Charles Dilke, radical member of par- hament, remarked:
 "The Russian peace footing of nearly a million regulars exceeds the peace footing of Germany Austria and Italy combined. Thus, it has beep in Russia's power to re- duce the land forces by diminishing her own in connection with similar action on the part of Germany.
 French public opinion is not prepared for disarmament which would mean, as tnlnBS stand now, an acceptance or the Alsace-Loraine situation. Naval disarma- ment would be dangerous for Great Brit ain. Any formal plan would involve sub sequent breaches of faith, but if Germany and Russia will cease increasing their forces we can follow them without for nal agreement"
 Naturally, all persons and societies con- nected with peace and arbitration move mentsN are jubilant. The pope wired his congratulations to Emperor Nicholas im- mediately, and offered every assistance in his power to promote the proposed con- ference.

further opened. It was understood by Cap tain Lay that immediately on his arrival in camp he would be placed under arrest. He went to the camp in the afternoon to visit his son. Only few minutes elapsed before the officer of the day approached and re- quested him to report at headquarters. The colonel told him that another poll would not be countenanced, at the same time explain ing that the gentleman was not necessarily under arrest. The incident was closed when Captain Lay informed him that he had no intention of going under cover or doing any, thing without the sanction of the officers.
 Colonel Mcdonald feels that the newspa- per criticisms of himself and officers has been unjust. He claims that the poll was taken without intimidation, and that with a little more than TOO of the 1900 men strung out in line there was a majority of 29O who voted to go to Cuba. The colo nel expressed the opinion, however that if the question was merely simmered down to whether "I want to go home," there would be a majority of the men of this sentiment. As it was a question of duty. he thought that a majority of them desired to go to Cuba and perform this While the officers are stout in affirming that noth- ing smacking of coercion has been resort ed to, there are number of privates who claim that there has been.
 Chaplain Fitzsimmons
 Chaplain Fttzsimmons sides with Colo nel Mcdonald, as do majority of the oth- CT officers. He says that no one desires to go home any more than he does. but then he is actuated by sense of duty. The men are needed in Cuba, and he would rath- CT go than to have Alabama represented by negro regiment.
 He delivered a sermon on this subject Sunday morning, in which he censured par ents for writing their sons to forsake duty. The mothers who did this had not the prop CT conception of the oath under which their sons enlisted. He said that he would ad- vocate every man being granted fur tough or a discharge for a valad excuse. Colonel Mcdonald afterwards stated that this would be done Many of the men have been granted furloughs and are returning home on every train. The announcement of the poll as sent to Governor Johnston has, if anything, given new impetus to the muster out movement. II am not dis couraged in the least," said Captain Lay. "There is a lawful way to get an expres- sion from the men, and 1t will be done with out coercion or intimidation

Washington, August 29.-Gratfying re- ports have been received by General Wy man from the places where yellow fever recently made its appearance, and the hope of that official is that it will be stamped out without difficulty.

ROBSON ARRIVES
 AT SANTIAGO Was Enthusiastically Received by
 General LaWton. LARGEST WHARF IN HARB0R Released by Order of the Commanding General and Returned to Use of Local Merchants and Ship
 pers-Destitutio Exists.
LARGEST WHARF IN HARB0R

Santiago de Cuba, August 29.-The steam- CT Segurancia arrived this morning, bring ing Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson, who will superintend the efforts to float the sunken Spanish cruisers Christobal Colon and Infanta Maria Teresa.
 Lieutenant Hobson had an enthusiastic informal reception from General Lawton, with whom he will be quartered while in Santiago. The Segurancia brought also Captain Leigh and forty men of the signal service corps who will relieve Colonel Greene. Work will be begun at once on the military telephone and telegraph lines along the eastern Cuban coast. The Se- gurancia brought a cargo of fresh beef.
 Today General Lawton issued an order releasing the largest wharf in the har- bor-lately wholly occupied by the United States government-and returning it to the use of the local merchants and shippers. Trading vessels had experienced great in- convenience and delay in consequence of insufficient wharf facilities and many ships in the harbor are waiting a place to un- load.
 The special hardships arise from the ex- cessive harbor charges.
 l wide and encirclng Santiago bay. now oc- cupied by the Second immune regiment, will be released to the city as soon as the immunes can be removed to the new camp, two miles out. The boulevard is a fashion, able resort for driving and promenading.
 Residents of the city and province to the number of about 5000 now in Costo Rica and Jamaica, are expected to return here during the next three weeks.
 A whole battalion of the Fifth regulars brought by the Knfckerbocker from Tam pa, has been placed in the hospital va cated by the Spaniards, yellow fever hav- ing appeared among them. The Knicker- booker has been quarantined She touched at a small Cuban port on her way from the United States and was not inspected at Tampa. Five cases of the fever have developed.
 A large quantity of government supplies left here by the commissary department will be distributed among the poor
 General Wood said today: ''It seems im- possible that much destitution should ex- ist after the work of the Red Cross, the government officers and inspectors, but find extreme distress in the lower quarters of the city, and am giving orders to have all cases relieved"

Woman Appointed.

Washington, August 29.-Today, for the first time in the history of the American army, a woman was appointed-a member of the medical staff. Dr. Anita McGee, wife of Professor McGee of this city, was sworn in as active assistant surgeon. This is &C., cording to Secretary Alger's general order and will entitle her to uniform of second lieutenant. It is not likely, however, that Dr. McGee will avail herself of this priv ilege. The appointment, whilea novelty from a technical standpoint is not the be. ginning of Dr. McGee's service with the war department Throughout the war she has been in charge cf the selection of the wo- men nurses. pr. Mcffee has regularly prac- ticed her profession 1T Washington for some time, and is well known in medical circles throughout the country.

that Pando had passed in El Cobre road. Lawton says he cannot compel Garcia to obey any instructions to place themselves in any position where they will have to fight and that if we intend to invest Santiago, we will have to depend upon our own troops and that we will require twice the number we now have.
 !" sent a message to Admiral Sampson asking if he proposed entering the harbor so as to give us his assistance Commodore Watson replies that he does not know Sampson's intentions since the destruction of the Spanish squadron, but does not him. self think that the fleet should try to go into the harbor of Santiago. This, under the circumstances. is not very encouraging.

If we are going to try to reduce the town, now that the fleet Is destroyed, which was stated 10 be the chief object of the expedition. there must be no delay in getting large bodies of troops here.
 "'The town is in a terrible condition as to food and people are starving as stated by foreign consuls this morning, but the troops can fight and have a large quantity of rice, but no other supplies. There will be nothing done here until noon of the fifth, and suppose l can put them off little longer to enable people to get out Coun- try here is destitute of food or growing crops, except mangoes.

 Miles Sailed for Cuba
 "It was this situation which determined General Miles to go to Cuba The day he sailed with endorsements, July ', he sent the following dispatch from Washington: General Shafter, Santiago:
 "Take every precaution against surprise and be on the lookout that the enemy does not turn your right flank and come on the line of your communication. Reinforce ments are being sent forward as rapidly as possible, but you will have to be the judge of position you are to hold until re- Inducements can reach you.

Russian Papers, Comments

Petersburg, August 29.-The newspapers here declare that the czar's manifesto will constitute turning point in history.
 The Novostiuj says: Tt stands to reason that the disarmament question cannot be solved without previous removal of the causes for the armaments. The conference must accurately determine the respective pretensions of the nations and propose means for a peaceful arrangement, and it may come to pass that at the close of the nineteenth century a liquidation may be effected of the International policies which are so prolific in troubles and dangers"
 The Move vremia says: "All true friengs of peace are, naturally, on the side of Rus sia; but it Is impossible 10 guarantee that some of the western cabinets will not raise objections promoted by the fact that the armed peace which has existed since 1871 is the main source of their international strength"
 Sviet says: If all the powers accept Rus sia's proposal with the same earnestness with which 1t is made, the dawn of the twentieth century will see the idea of uni- versal peace, triumphant over that of un- rest and discord"
 The Viedomosti expresses the opinion that the note of the czar Is essentially "an attempt to introduce the element of trust into international relations,'' adding, "whoever believes in the creative power of clearness must admit that the note brings a new and beneficial course into the worlds life and grows anew the participants in that life"

Dr. Reich's Opinion

London, August 29.-Dr. Emil Reich, the eminent Bulgarian historian and British consul in the Venezuelan arbitration in an interview on the subject of the czars peace note, expresses the belief that his majesty is visionary. He says:
 "The czar is dreamer. He Is not in TO- bust health, and has always took great care of his body. This scheme for universal peace is one of his dreams. It is also a feint. Count Muravieff (the Russian minis ter for foreign affairs), hopes thereby to get a hand in the development of the Russian scheme in Manchuria-
 Supposed France disarmed. Her popula- tion is now forty millions against Ger many's fifty-two million. In ten years Ger many would have largely added to her lead in population and France could not dis play an army nearly as large as her rivals. Sweden, Norway and Italy would like to disarm and might do so with impunity; but for the rest of Europe it is impossible Europe must fight, unless the present polit- ical conditions undergo an early change"

ALABAMA's poor BoTELLI."

A confederate veteran who bad
a personal acquaintance with
many of the officers of the newly
famed Alabama has been looking
up some of his dates. From the
mentors of Admiral Raphael
Semmes, it appears [page 1927
that on Aug. ID, 1862 Semmes
left Liverpool to join the Alabama
and put her in commission. The
names of the officers are given,
but that of Mons Gaspard de
Coligny is not mentioned. How
ever, at the flag end of the list
appears poor Bartelli,"
Now here is an opportunity for
the Advertiser to prove its his
torical data by establishing con-
meeting link between poor Bar
tell" aud Coligny.
Again on page 537, Semm es
says, "On December the Goth
1862, we made the Mexican pro-
vince of Youcatan." Such being
the case it is hard for any but the
Advertiser to make out how the
Alabama could be in Hilo on Dec
10Th. Again the captain writes
"On the 22nd of December, nigh
overtaking us within about TWEEN
ty miles of Areas, etc" Surely
the Alabama must have flown OF
as speedy wings as the Adver
Users neutrality proposition afte
Dewey's victory, to be in Hilo oil
or about Dec. 10Th and in Yucca
tan the next day. In making thi
comparison, however, it must b
remembered that there were n,
