THURSDAY EVENING. JULY IS. 1888

SOME OF the newspapers that have
profted by the Spanish war and, there
fore, desire the continuance thereof, say
the United States "are in no hurry for
peace, while Spain is" No, all the
money that has been, or may be appro-
priated for the war, has not yet been eX-
pended, and, until it shall be. those who
hope and expect TO get any of it will be
opposed to peace. But the people OF
the country who have not prohted by
the war and cannot do so, want peace
restored as soon as possible, and the fact
that no less than FIVE thousand Ameri-
can soldiers are now in the hospitals OF
Cuba, and hundreds of them dying,
should, if the administration be as care.
full of them as it processes to be, induce
Mr.. Mckinley to stop hostilities at once,
and thereby be enabled to bring home
the American soldiers who are sick, and
prevent the sending of any more to the
yellow fever region; and if it isn't, the
voters may want to known the reason
why, next November.

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 2S.-The
latest advices from Gen. Shafter reduce
to $4,000 the number of prisoners to be
sent from Santiago to Spain. The Ali
cante, formerly the hospital ship of Ad-
miral Cervera's squadron, will take the
first instalment. She is due ut Santi
ago to-day. The officer who first sug-
pested sending the Spanish prisoners
home as the easiest radiance of the
captives said today: THAT is the
only way we can get totally rid OF
the Spanish soldiers taken on this
side of the Atlantic. Porto Rico and
Cuba will soon be ours. If we leave
the Spanish soldiers there they will be
a bother and nuisance for years to come.
The President thinks that the Spanish
civilians, may, under the new condi-
ton of things, make good citizens, but
ne is afraid OF the Spanish soldiers.
Sending the Spanish soldiers home at
once will be one of the conditions Of
peace that he will gladly accede to,
even though it means the carrying Of
10000 Spaniards at cost of four or
five million dollars.

Fallen Through.

ALTOONA, Pa, July 2S.-The pro-
posed strike of the miners in the btu
minous district (No. p has fallen
through. At convention of delegates
representing 800 miners OF this dis
trict, July Is, it was decided to demand
an advance of ten per cent. beginning
August l. The demand was to have
been granted to the operators on July
20 and this was the day set for insisting
upon an answer. The demand was not
presented. The miners officials found
that the operators were determined to
resist an advance and the proposed
move seemed to be dead. Mass meet.
ings have been called for Satur-
day of this week, but the impress
sion is that they will not be largely at
tended. Central Pennsylvania miners
are poorly organized. The foreign ele-
ment which largely predominates can
not be held in line for united action.

Dissatisfaction Among Laborers.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July @.-A
| hurry call was made for the provost
guard this morning from the transport
Tito, as several score of negro laborers
rebelled at what they deemed too much
work and little food and left the vessel.
They declare that they had been work.
ed night and day, both at Charleston
and here, while they had hired out for
eight hours. They said that two little
pieces of hard tack and pound can of
beef were given four men for each meal.
From officers on board the vessel and
from others it was learned that trouble
had been brewing for some time. At
Charleston on account of hurry orders
to get off troops, these men had to work
night and day. On arrival here hurry
orders were found waiting and Captain
Paulnot tried to load during the
night. The men worked part of
the night and then 200 of
them refused to do anything. A guard was
called ard the rebellious men put off the
wharf. IT is found that the men had good
rations while in Charleston. Former say
that the strike will not delay the vessel any
as they can hire two hundred men here with.
out trouble. The Uto may get Oft to Porto
Rico tomorrow.

BABY ATTACKED BY RATs.-Saveral
savage wharf rats recently attacked
Frank, the 9-months-old child OF John
Bird, colored, while asleep in his coach
at their home in this city. The attack
was made on Saturday night. The
mother was awakened about 10 o'clock
by the cries of the little one, and as she
reached over to take him up she
saw two large wharf rats in the
coach. Before she could drive
them off one of them bit her
on the index finger of the left hand.
The child continued crying, and the
mother, finding her hand covered with
blood, discovered that the baby had
been badly bitten on one of its legs.
The father was awakened and, failing
to kill the rats, he went out and pur-
chased several traps. In the morning
there were four large rats in them. The
mother has since been able to get but
little sleep for watching to guard her
children against any further attack

manner fell from the second story win

struck on an iron picket on fence.
The sharp picket passed through his

a stone pavement, fracturing his skull.
How long ne had hung impaled to the
fence is not known, but he is thought
to have been there several hours.
When found this morning by his
mother, he had been dead for some
time. 1t is believed that Pigott sat on
the window ledge TO keep cool and lost

The vain assertion that this country
had coed cause for war with Spain, is
certainly no sufficient reason for its
makingwar upon its own people; butthat
it has done so is plain, not only to every
man who has read the war revenue bill,
but to everybody vino has to buy any
thing here. But there can't be war
without money, and, under tax law
enacted by a modern American Con-
gress, the rich are always exempted
and most of the burden imposed upon
the poor, who also have to do most of
the fighting.

the exact reverse is the case, and that
Spain did all she could have done to
prevent war. She released all her
American prisoners, though they were
assisting her insurgents; she recalled
Weyler; she granted the Cubans au-
tonomy, and conceded many other pre-
sum ptuous demands of the United
States, solely for the reason that she
might thereby save herself from what
she feared would be disastrous war.

was, is well-known here. In view OF
this fact, the hurried sailing of that ex-
petition, certainly. at least to the GEN.
serious, suggests the idea of bad
faith, aud, of course, does not tend to
improve the reputation this country has
achieved in recent years among foreign
