In Red Cross work, gives vivid pic
ture of the conditions prevailing at
Siboney and other points near Santi-

the large store of supplies the society
was enabled to do good work among
the AFFLICTED of all classes and nations.
Mrs. Peter says that the act of the

The boys in the trenches were ig-
norant of the outcome of the negotia-
tiops until after a heavy luncheon Of
coffee, hard tack and colned beef. Then
General Shafter appointed Colonel
Astor and Captain McKittrick to con-
vey the welcome tidings along the
lines.
Some Of the officers favored cele-
brating the victory with bands and
noisy demonstration, but General
Shafter vetoed the proposition. He
said there was no occasion to hur1iliate
the enemy. who had fought bravely.
Not even cheering was to be permit
ted, but before Colonel Astor and Cap
tain Mckittrick could warn the SOL
diers the latter broke out into wild
hurrahs. Some danced about, threw
their hats into the air. hugged each
other and congratulated themselves
upon the prospect Of getting out of
Cuba in a few days.
General Shafter instructed the COM

Toral requested this, saying that there
was very little food.
1t is probable that the SpaSish
steamers in the ha:bor will be used
in part for the transportation of the
surrendered soldiers to Spain. The
Spanish trooDs have abandoned the
entertainments and gone into the city.
General Miles and his staff arrived at

CABINET CONFERENCE.
Delay in Negotiations is Necessary in Order
to Secure Capitulation of Out
lying Garrisons.

Washington, July 16.-After an ex-
tended conference with the president,
lasting till nearly 2 o'clock this morn
ing, at which three other members of
the cabinet were present, Secretary
Alger said: "The situation is just this:
The Spaniards at Santiago are pre-
pared to surrender, but they want to
carry their arms. We have determined
to grant no such concession except the
generosity Of this government to trans
port them to Spain. In any event no
other concession would be afforded by
this government"
It is believed that the delay In the
negotiations is made necessary in order
to secure the surrender of the outlying
garrisons, some of which may ques-
tion Toral's authority to surrender
them without definite instructions to
that effect from Madrid.

Fusion is dead in Milwaukee, even To-
caIly, ana with it goes the reputation for
leadership Of Mayor Rose. He was elect
ed mayor o. Milwaukee by large major
ity ana having conducted brilliant cam
pargn, leadership fell to him as a natural
heritage. Bnt he was evidently unable
to discriminate between building up q
a party and carrying an election. His
vision did not extend beyond Milwaukee
and he failed to note the change working
IN other sections. There were forces
active in Milwaukee which he failed to
perceive being fascinated by the machine
fusion, the most domineering machi"e
that ever was operated IN the field of
politics.
Rose has brilhancy and the elements

estimating the value Of factors. He en-

that a D,csqHimce of this kind had fallen

Another piece OF political crimlnality
Is the attempt TO deceive farmers into the
belief that prices OF agricultural products
depend on laws other than the natural
laws Of trade. OF coupa the man who
