TROUBLE IS SLIGHT.
Cen. Shafter Says His Misunder-
standing with Senior Ros
is Unimportant.

Santiago de Cuba, July 2S.-12:15 p. m.
delayed In transmission.)- Mai. Gen.
Shafter says he has not made certain
statements attributed to him in an inter-
view on the subject of the attitude as:
sumed by Gen. Garcia, and he explains
that the alleged trouble between himself
and Senior Ros, the civil governor of San
tiago, is a very small matter indeed.
Senior Ros is ruf1led at Gen. Shafter not
allowing him complete control of the civil
administration Of the entire section Of
the province of Santiago de Cuba, which
has been, surrendered to the American
forces. Senior Ros considers himself the
supreme civil authority, basing his claims
upon the state paper ISSUED by President
Mckinley on July Is and providing in
general terms for the government of the
province of Santiago de Cuba, which con-
taina the following clause.
The judges and other officials connect
ed with the administra ton of justice
may, If they accept the supremacy of the
United States, continue to administer the
ordinary law of the land, as between man
and man, under the supervision of the
American commander-in-chief."
Senior Ros, it is understood, resents
Gen. Skaters so-called interference with
his duties. A little cloud arose over the
fact that Senior Ros discharged three en-
plOycS anu substituted IOr CueIn three OF
his own friends. The discharged en-
ployes complained to Gen. Shafter, who
ordered their reinstatement Since then
Senior Ros has been slightly ruffled, but
he is continuing to discharge his duties
as Gen. Skaters subordinate.
The trouble was really insignificant, but
Senior Res and his three friends being
Cubans, the matter was magnified in
their circles. Senior Ros simply obeyed
Gen. Skaters orders without protest,
though he may have murmured behind
his back.

of the islands,

London, July 29.-Natives of, the Phil
ippine islands, and British subjects who
have interests there, are alarmed by the
reports that the peace terms include the
return of those islands to Spain. As a
result they have held a meeting here,
and, after consultation with the Philip
pinas in France and Belgium, have
cabled to President Mckinley and to
Senator Davis, chairman of the foreign
relations committee. The message to
President Nc Nnley is as follows: = :
. The Philippines resident in Europe
pray you not to abandon the Philippine
islands, for the sake of peace with Spain.
Our loyalty and trust in the honor of
America entities us TO- your considera-

country again to Spain is contrary to the
human nifty proceedings of your noble ma
ton and the wishes Of all classes. Civil
ization, trade and order, all will be lost
If Spanish authority is re-established in
any FORM 4 -. III. :
The message to Senator Davis says:
i "A cast-iron agreement binding Spain
to form a government satisfactory to the
inhabitants is preposterous. To retain
her sovereignty means deception, oppres-
sion and bigotry. We placed our rights
in your hands and pray, you to induce
the President and Senate not to abandon

3O).-The Spaniards are gradually reaIiz-
ing that Spain has not been victorious.
that the expected reinforcements are not
coming, and that the contest is utterly
hopeless. The insurgents are in over
wheiming numbers and the Spaniards can
only obtain the bare necessaries Of life.
Only a fortnight ago Spanish national
pride was rampant, but it is now merging
into indignation at SPANS feebleness and
regret that they were born Spaniards
While they will never surrender without
a fight, the Spanish officers will jump at
the first honorable opportunity to surren-
der. They fear national disgrace too
much to give in without a fight.
The fighting in the suburbs is desultory,
and the Americans are idle. This has
given rise to report that they had de-
termined to suspend operations until Sep
TENDER, and by that time peace will proba-
bly, be concluded. Then, it is asserted
here, the Americans may permanently an
mex the Caroline islands and the Ladrone
islands and possibly abandon the Philip
pines with the exception of keeping
coaling station here.

their efforts they have hitherto been un-
due " capture TIE C1tduei. O0 the other
hand, the Spaniards are not able to re-,

circumstances, it seems evident that some

Some insurgent shells have been thrown
into the citadel, but they do not appear
to have done much damage. The natives
are reported to be starving by thousands
and the Europeans are also hard pressed

Santiago de Cuba, July %, 1915 p. m.
delayed in transmission. Gen. Shat
ter has had some cable correspondence
with Adjt.-Gen. Corbin, tending to allay
the fear among Spanish and foreign mer-
chants here that the American troops are
to be withdrawn from Santiago and the
city given over to the custody of the Gu
ban soldiers. 3
Representations had been made to Gen.
Shafter of the alleged impossibility of a
resumption of business until assurances
were given by the United States govern
ment that enough American troops would
remain to maintain order and that a sta
BILE government would be established.
{ Gen. Shafter cabled to Adjt- Gen. Cor
bin requesting authority to give the de-
sired assurance in the name Of the Presi-
dent.
Gen. Shafter says the four immune reg
iments from Alabama and Mississippi, in
all 5000 men, half of whom are expected
today, will remain to garrison the city.
He has recommended the withdrawal of
the cavalry and their return north as soon
as their state of health will permit. +
1t is understood that the rest of the
Fifth army corps will go to Montauk
Point, r. l., and there is great rejoicing
among the troops. ,

PRELIMINARY DRAFT.
Secretary Day Has an Early Con-
ference with President
Mckinley,

Washington, D. c., July 9.-Secretary
of State Day was in conference with
President Mckinley as early as 1920
this morning preliminary to laying the
full draft of the answer to the Spanish
peace note before the cabinet. Secretary
Day drove over from the state DEPART
ment, scarcely two blocks away from the
white house, and hurried in to consult
with the President. He carried with him
a portfolio of papers, probably embracing
the secretary's rought draft of what is
likely to be adopted at the cabinet ses-
sion as our answer to Spain and inn
portant data in connection with the sub
ject. =.
While losing no time in reaching the
Presidents side he stopped long enough
to say that whether an answer to Spain
would be communicated today or whether
a statement would be given out later in
the afternoon would depend on the de-
velopments at the session about to begin.
Fer forty minutes Secretary Day occu-
pied himself in close and uninterrupted
conference with the President. Then be-

Elaborate Provisions Made
on His Yacht.
London, July 3O.-The Prince of Wales
started for the Solent ut ESQ this after
noon. He was carried from his room in
Marlborough house on an ambulance
couch, which was placed bodily in hos
pital ambulance. The Princess of Wales
then took a seat beside her husband, who
was also accompanied by a physician.
The party was heartily cheered as the
ambulance was driven away.
Similar methods will be observed in
transferring the Prince of Wales to the
train and from the latter to the royal
yacht Osborne, and in taking him ashore
again. A number Of sailors have been
specially trained to carry the couch on
board the yacht, which will Immediately
proceed to Cowes.
Alterations have been made in the deck
house so us to allow Of the princes chair
passing easily in and out, and special
pavilion has been erected astern, where
his royal highness will witness the re-
gatta. The Princess of Wales will re-
main On hoard the yacht. ~.
Although the ambulance was fitted
with thick blinds so as to secure privacy,
the prince ordered that they be left open.
He looked very unlike an invalid as he
partially sat up in the vehicle. He was
the picture Of good humor and nodded
repeatedly in response to the enthusiastic
greetings Of the crowd that had gathered
to see him depart <
1t appears that when the Sultan of Tur-
key telegraphed his condolences and inqui-
ries at the time of the accident to the
Prince Of Wales his majesty offered as a
special demonstration Of his solicitude, to
send the well-known Turkish surgeon,
Djemal Pasha, to attend the prince.

Washington, d. G., July 20.--In iiplo-
matte quarters it il stated that the peace
propositions took form in Madrid on Fri
day last and that not until then had the
Spanish cabinet itself determined to risk
g direct proposition Tor peace. Before
that day there was doubtless more or less
staik IL the line of q peace proposition, bu.

So On that day Duke Aimadoyar de Rio,

Ed the Spanish proposal to this govern
ment aud 1t was formally agreed that it
should be presented direct to President
Mckinley, the French ambassador at
acting as a medium of com.
gmunication. E. =
The proposal was cabled to Ambas sa-
dor Cambon in cipher, but before acting
i ne ADVISED with his government as to
their wishes. In the meantime, the state
department received no intimation from
the ambassador that Spain was about to
present this peace proposition. The in
structions from Paris came last Monday
night too late for the presentation Of
SPANS proposal that day. On Tuesday
the state department was asked to ar
range for call by the ambassador, on
the President, and this being set for 3
o'clock the proposal for peace for the first
time was made known to the United
States. z,%-~s. :>ss - -. - :. =
Until then there was not even an in
timation to this government that the
proposition was to be made, SO that all
cognizance of SPANS purpose to sue for
peace dates from 3 o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon. 1t may be said also that ut
no previous time had the French a1nbas-
sador or any representative of the French
embassy spoken on the subject of peace
to any official of this government. The
French government had not-and has not
now--authorized any peace overtures or
inquiry relating to peace, nor had the
Spanish government, prior to the writ
ten communication of last Friday reached
the definite determination to sue for
peace.
With these facts established beyond
question, the statement attributed to
Premier Sagasta that "we (Spain) re-
solved: OIL peace many days ago and
made known our resolutions to the United
States government" is discredited with
great positiveness in those diplomatic
quarters having the most intelligent
knowledge of the situation. The report,
it is pointed out, comes by way of Lon
don, which is regarded as furnishing IL
reason for this indirect effort to prejudice
the negotiations.
