Dear Sir-A heated and prolonged ar

you for decision. Will you kindly de-
eide the matter in an issue of your es-
teemed paper, and oblige. Yours re-
spectfully, A SUBSCRIBER.
Answer-The Goth century begins at
the end of the year 1900

The conduct of Gen. Shafter toward
Gen. Garcia the Cuban general, is
most inexplicable when we think OF
him as man with any of the instincts
of politeness obtained by nature or
education. But Shafter and Sampson
went to Cuba with the intention OF
clarifying Shafter and Sampson, and
SO jealous have they been of all other
human beings that if they could have
avoided it they would have ignored
the President himself. Shafter reminds
us in person and military strategy OF
Sir John Falstaff. Sampson is said to
be an arrogant, dogmatic tyrant
whom everybody about him despises

The delay caused by Admiral Samp-
son in not furnishing convoy to Gen.
Miles at once, ought to have led to his
being summarily relieved of his com
mand by the President. Sampson has
gotten sulky, he has long been rather
bulky for his trousers and needs to be
taken down a peg. The idea of the
men having to lie for days sweltering
and broiling in tropical sun on the
transports awaiting the ill humored
SIMPSONS pleasure in sending a convoy
should be punished in some way.

Il was a Simple Assault.

During the surrender of Santiago
one Sylvester Scovell, a reporter fol
the N Y. World, who felt himself ag
grieved at something ordered by Gen
Shafter, stepped up to that function
airy and slapped him in the face. This
act occurring when and where it did
had this government been monarchy
would have doubtless cost Mr.. Scovell
his life. He would have been court
marshalled and shot. But it was the act
of citizen toward soldier, whom the
laws of this democratic country treat
in matters of this kind as citizen
also.
The question now comes up as to
how Mr.. Scovell shall be punished, and
various newspapers which do not like
the World are seeing in the incident
and excuse fer stopping what they
call yellow journalism" and very
dire pun isement for Scovell. But
they had just as we'll possess them
selves. Gen. Skaters face is no more
than any body elses face, the Ameri-
can feels his right to smack the face
or boot the corporosity of any func-
tionary from the President down and
will when insulted certainly try it, and
Gen. Shafter with his shoulder straps
and huge dimensions and lace and
sword, is no more free from the wrath
of an outraged citizen than the hum
blest person who walks the street. If
Shafter insulted Scovell, Scovell
should have resented it just as he did.
1t will be a sad day when military
pomposity of the Shafter sort can in
suit citizens even though they may be
over jealous in their efforts to fulfill
obligations to their employers. If the
nation wishes to hurry it's downfall
let it undertake to wreak the ven
geance of shoulder strapped puppet
on a citizen, who has simply as
saulted his worship by smacking his
face, by making the offense something
like high treason.

the United States Tuesday. CaInbon

Secretary OF State at the White House
that afternoon and presented g note
authorized by the Spanish minister Of

government OF Spain, and by direction
of the Spanish minister of foreign af-

afternoon at the White House mes
sage from the Spanish government

There Is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be iDcurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem

with local treatment, pronounced it i'll
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
