No me Can BE Blamed for COncho
and Seneca Passengers Suffering.
WASHINGTON Aug. 3.-Col. Charles
Heyl, Of the inspector generals office,
has returned to Washington from New
York, where he went at the direction
Of Secretary Alger, to make an exam
ination to fix the responsibility Of the
officer who sent the transport Concho
to New York from Santiago in an un-
fit condition to carry sick and wound
ed.
Col. Heyl reported verbally to Secre-
tary Alger the result of his inquiries,
and the secretary made the following
statement:
At the time they left Santiago the general
desire of the convalescents to come home
doubtless overcrowded both ships. Then,
also, large number of civilians rushed
aboard to get away, and they occupied many
state rooms that should have been given over
to the soldiers. No recurrence of such occur-
rences will be possible hereafter, and nothing
of the kind should have hapepned. The gen.
eral commanding that army, the surgeon
general and the quartermasters and commits
sary departments have done the bsst they
could until unforeseen circumstances, named
above, prevented the conveniences bsing pro-
vided that otherwise would have been fur
niShed.
Secretary Alger, who is determined
that no further trouble of the kind
shall occur, If in his power to prevent
it, sent the following telegram to Gen.
Shafter at Santiago:
Whenever 1t becomes necessary to use
transports for sick and wounded purposes, 1t
should be made the duty of some experienced
and competent medical officer to sse that olly
such troop ships as are in good sanitary
condition and best suited for the purpose are
selected; that the water supply on board IS
ample in quantity and wholesome in quality !;
that sufficient supplies of fcod medicines
dressings, physicians stores, including dali
cacies, where possible to obtain them, ice
supplied and placed on board; that sufficient
number of experienced medical officers and
nurses accompany the sick and wounded on
the voyage; that there be no overcrowding of
the vessel, but that there are suitable accom-
modatons for all; that the dispatch OF tn Sc
ships be telegraphed to the adjutant and sur
geon general.
| A similar dispatch was sent to the
| commanding general of the army at
| Porto Rico and Manila.

Ready If Her Majesty II Compelled
to Leave Madrid.

to Leave Madrid.
VIENNA, Aug. s.-Albrect palace in
Vienna, the residence of the venerable
Archduchess Elizabeth. mother Of the
queen regent Of Spain, Is undergoing
extensive restoration. and 1t Is COM
monty rumored in this city that these
repairs are to flt the palace for the
reception Of the Spanish court in the
event Of a revolution at Madrid grow
ing out Of the present war.
Some Of the adventurous members Of
the Austrian aristocracy who are i'm
bued with Carlist sentiments are en-
gagged in lively correspondence with
the pretender to the Spanish throne, and
there are indications that many young
Austrians are preparing to join in the
movement, mainly for the sake Of the
excitement, If Don Carlos and Don
Jaime raise their standard in the
north of Spain.
The sentiment among the friends and
relations OF the queen regent in Vienna
is understood to be strongly for peace
on the terms specified in Washington.
There is a studied reserve in govern
ment circles here in commenting on
these terms while the peace negotia-
tions are proceeding. The belief pre-
walls. however, that Americas stipula-
tion will prove acceptable to Spain,
which in it's paralysis desires a tout
prix the restoration of peace.

AMERICAN RESPONSIBILITY.
Delicate Question Involved in Dis
posing of the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-An inter-
esting question, and one Of vital i'm
portance to the administration, Is the
attitude to be assumed by the United
States towards the Philippine insur-
gents, In the event that we reach an
agreement for the suspension of hostil-
tiles with Spain. 1t is stipulated In
our peace terms that the United States
military forces shall occupy and estab-
lish military form of government over
the city of Manila and the bay, with
the surrounding territory. This In
wolves an immediate surrender OF the
Spanish forces, not to Aguinaldo, but to
Gen. Merritt, and there is some appre-
hension that the insurgents will resent
this very bitterly and that it will be
necessary to expel them forcibly from
the territory described. Aside from this
it is said at army headquarters that.
pending the decision of the peace COM
mission towards the future of the Phil
ippines, the United States would be
morally bound to maintain the statu
quo in the balance of the islands at
large. On the other hand, having de-
prived Spain of the means Of resisting
the onslaughts of the insurgents, it has
been urged that the United States
would be bound to prevent the latter
from continuing their warfare. There
is a lack of information in Washington
on many important points as to the
conditions in the Philippies. For In
stance, it is not known even approx
mately how extensive the revolutionary
movement has been throughout the
vast group Of 1900 islands and among
the large population, estimated to ag-
gregate between 100000 and $4,000, 900.
If the revolutionary movement Is gen.
eral and extends to very many Of the
islands, the task presented to the Unit
ed States military and naval author
tiles will be one of great magnitude,
in the event that it is decided to be in
cumbent upon us not to restore Spanish
sovereignty, where it has been lost, but
to prevent it's overthrow in regions
where it is still supreme, and to pre-
vent excesses and outrages at the
hands of the insurgents

SOME ONE ERRED.
Thousands of Pounds of Food Left
in a Vessels Hold.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-When the
transport Breakwater returned to this
city from Santiago the army officers of
the department of the East were sur
prised to find that thousands of pounds
of food which had been sent South had
never been unloaded from the vessel
and were still in the hold. A board Of
survey was appointed by Col. Gillespie,
commanding the department of the
East, to determine for whom the stores
had been intended and why they were
not unloaded. The board reported that
the stores were not unloaded because
there was immediate need of the vessel
to transport the sick and wounded. The
board says it is unable to fix the re-
sponsibility for the failure to unload
the supplies.

TO FREE ALL CUBANs.
Those in Spanish Prisons May Be
Liberated.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Presfdent Nc
Kinley will soon be. asked to include
among the provisions upon which
peace will be established with Spain
the freeing Of all Cubans imprisoned
for offenses which may be classed as
political. In all the Spanish penal col
onies-Ceuta and the like-there are
about 500 Cubans, who have been cap
tured during the last three years. The
horrors of these prisoners have been
fully described lately, and it is said
the punishment meted out to these men
is altogether out Of keeping with their
crimes. This effort will be made by
Tomas Estrada Palma, the president
of the Cuban junta- In fact, he has
already instituted an agitation to that
end, and he will not give up until his
object has been accomplished. Friends
Of his are now at work at the capital
with this purpose in view, and they
will soon be in communication with the
officials.

BOND REALLOTMENT.
Amount VIII Probably Reach Five
Million Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-Assistant
Secretary Vanderlip is now sending to
subscribers about 5000 bonds a day,
and this number will be increased later
on. Recently notices of allotments
were sent to persons who had furnish
ed the required amount of cash, but
who now deny all knowledge of the
transaction. The indications are that
their names had been used by interest
ed parties, without authority, with
view to getting possession Of the bonds
in violation of the spirit of the law
These cases are under investigation
There is also large amount of suspi-
cion in other cases, aggregating in
amount about s1,O00,0OO, so it will be
impossible to state the maximum
amount that will eventually be reallot-
ted until all these cases are decided
The indications, however, are that the
amount will fall between $4 500, 900 and
SIS, 900, 900.

There is nothing to indicate her fu-

that her mission has failed she will
