PEACE TALK.

There is a deal of talk reported
opening Of peace negotiations. 1t is
even charged that President Mckinley
has been approached regarding peace
in behalf Of and by authority Of Spain,
negotiations in order to get a hold upon
Puerto Rico first, that there may be
stronger claim preferred for it's trans
fer to the United States in indemnity.
That we desire Puerto Rico is unde-
MED. That we ought to secure such
holding as will make our claim for in
demnity good is unquestioned. But we
do not believe the President has been
guilty of any tricks in delaying peace
procedure. The instant Spain comes as
she must in the first person, and asks
for the appointment of commissioners
to negotiate peace, she will have imme-
date attention from the President of
the United States, and there will be no
concealment of the fact
If there has been any approach with
peace in view, it has been roundabout
and not direct, and of such a character
as not to warrant suspension of hostili-
ties. The American Executive has man.
aged in this war too splendidly, wisely
and successfully to be open to the
charge at this late day, that he is
guilty of chicane. 1t may be, indeed,
that overtures have come to him look
ing to negotiating a peace. But assur-
edly there has come before him moth
ing as yet Of official character, or so
fortified as to justify him in withhold
ing the hands Of army and navy
Until Spain comes to the United
States openly and above board in her
own proper person and asks for the re-
establishment of peaceful relations, the
thing tor the American President to do
is precisely that which he is doing, to
push the war with the utmost vigor.
and prosecute it so sharply as to earlier
convince Spain of the hopelessness of
her case, and thus the sooner secure
lasting peace and permanent suspen-
sion of hostilities.

SAFE THROUGH DANGERS.

The second fleet of transports for
Manila bearing troops from this coast
has arrived in safety. The command
of General Anderson is, therefore, now
30 much augmented that we may anuci-
pate early receipt Of news of assault
upon Manila. if that capital refuses
acquiescence to the demand for Its sur
render. 1t is said that out of all the
men on the four ships Of the second ex-
pedition, there were but four deaths,
which is low percentage, and, besides,
it is known that a number of the men
were far from we'll when they sailed
from San Francisco-a fact due to city
life some weeks prior to departure.
The safe arrival of two fleets carry
ing troops to the Philippines gives en-
couragement for the belief that the
others en- route and to follow will be
as fortunate, and that the Monterey
and the Monadnock will also safely
make the crossing Of the Pacific. If
they do, there will have been accomp-
Hshed a wonderful naval feat. Neither
Of the fighting monsters was construct
ed for the high seas. Neither has free
board equal to that of an ordinary
schooner. They are passing through
the tropics in tow, and at a time when
terrible typhoons are to be expected,
before which so many noble ships go to
the bottom. If, then, the two ironclads
reach Manila harbor in safety, it will
be cause for national rejoicing. Neither
of them will ever be returned to these
shores No one expects to have them
sent back. Their home will hereafter
be in hot waters beneath the tropic

GEN. SKATERS SOBRIQUET.
How He Earned the Name "Pecos
BILL" While Fighting Indians.

Nine-tenths of the men in the regular
army from Major Generals, Brigadiers,
officers of the line to ordinary troopers,
always refer to the commander Of the
American forces at Santiago as "Pecos
Bill" Shafter He is known by that
title from Vancouver Barracks to
Tampa The sobriquet is a reminis
cence of the old days in the South
west, when Major General Shafter, as
a Colonel of infantry. chased Indians,
rode hard, tramped harder and made
the hardest sort of military life pleas
ant for everybody around him.
The hero of Santiago was a slender
young man in those days, could ride
his sixty miles day, day in and day
out, or tramp along at the head of
the troopers under him for week
on army rations without complaining
half as much as some of the volun-
teers who have not progressed any fur
ther toward actual war than Camp AL
ger in Virginia
They tell a hundred stories in the
army to prove that 'Pecos Bill' Shaft
er is a real soldier: not one of the
sort that likes a military hop as well
as he likes a scrimmage with an enc
my They say of him that he is
hard" They don't mean, of course,
The record-union., 1898-07-22

that he is hard" in a moral or hu-
hane sense, because he is as gentle as
woman and as rigid in his views of
life as Puritan father. But he is
a hard soldier, hard rider, hard fighter
and a strict disciplinarian
Bill Shafter always has his coat
off when there is anything doing" is
a saying in the army. The last time
he was seen by the writer "Pecos Bill
not only had off his coat, but also his
suspenders, and was giving the herd
ers of mule pack train a lesson or
two about their business and the ac-
companying art Of persuading mules
to do things at Port Tampa.
In order fully to appreciate his en-
ergy it should be remembered that Gen.
eral Shafter is a sure enough heavy
weight. He admits that he weighs
something over 800 pounds" The re-
ports from Santiago say that the big
General assumed direct command of his
men, that he rode into the field with
his coat off and yelled orders just as
he used to do in the old days, when
batting renegade Indians was the ex-
tent of the nations military undertak-
ing.
"Bilf' Shafter is known as a plain
man, too. There are no frillS about
him. He went off to Cuba not a whit
better equipped as far as clothing was
concerned than the troopers who went
with him and sweltered under heavy
blue cloth uniforms A friend who
was with him at Tampa suggested that
he have one of the fashionable khaki
uniforms constructed for himself. Most
of the Generals and staff officers with
him presented very natty figures, and
the bluff old Indian campaigner ad-
mired them in a way.
They are just the things for mill
tary ball." said he. But" he added,
81 don't want any of them in mine.
guess I will go just as I am. will
fit in among the boys better"
So "BiI'' Shafter went off to the war
in regulation uniform of dark cloth,
of the same quality as the clothes worn
by the private troopers. The only dif-
ference was that upon each of his
shoulders there were two gold stars
the insignia Of a Major General Of the
United States army. He endeared him
self to the troops in his corps by ad-
vising the regimental commanders to
take off and leave off their coats. And
he left his off during the trip from

The troopers in the First Regiment
of Infantry, who served with General
Shafter in the West, are sincerely fond
of him. They give vigorous evidence
of the fact upon every occasion, and
no man came in for heartier recep-
ton than he the day he went aboard
the transport Seguranca at Port Tampa
to sail out Of the port and point the
way to Cuba and the stronghold Of the

RUMORS FROM MANILA.

In view of the many disouieting ru-
Mia regarding the announced and the
secret intentions of the Admiral of the
German fleet in that harbor, it would
seem that there is sufficient ground
for this Government to address a note
to Germany asking for disavowal Of in
tention to interfere.
We are told that the President has,
however, received assurance from Ger
many that it has no intention of in
terfering, and that it Will maintain
strict neutrality. But the assurance.
1t is admitted has not come to US in
directly official manner. 1t is announc-
ed that Admiral Dewey has communi-
Gated very recently with Washington,
and very fully, and that the burden
OF that communication the Navy De-
partment does not deem it wise to
make public. That may be favorable
or unfavorable news. We incline to
partment is preserving in the matter
is not because of any bad news from
the Admiral. 1t is probable that the
reticence is simply due to wise judg-
ment in not disclosing our plans to the
enemy and to a gossiping world.
Since we can conjure up no possible
pretext for German interference at Ma
Mia, we should comfort ourselves with
the belief that no interposition against
US is contemplated. The only reason
advanced for possible interference is
found in a story that came to hand yes
terday, told at Hongkong by sailor of
the German fleet, who says that his
Admiral will interfere to prevent the
bombardment Of the city Of Manila, be-
cause such assault would be a useless
and cruel sacrifice of life and property.
But that is not worthy of much credit.
Precisely the same reason could be
given for interference in Cuba for inter-
posing between us and our ideas of the
right conduct of any war, under civil
lied methods, and, indeed, between us
and any object we may pursue by
legitimate warfare. The nations of the
world cannot afford to assent to such

THE CARLISTS ONCE MORE.

There comes a story from Europe
that the Carlists are manifesting re-
rlewed interest in the Spanish situation,
that the Carlists in England are max
ing preparations to go to the Spanish
border on the French side with money
and arms and that Don Carlos, the
pretender, is himself greatly agitated
and his days full of mysterious activ-
ity In short, the belief is entertained
that the Carlists believe the hour Is
near at hand when they can strike, and
seat their man upon the throne.
There is good reason to believe these
reports The Carlists have these many
years been awaiting opportunity and
lowering over unhappy Spain like birds
of prey. Twice they have made nota-
BILE strokes to achieve success, while
dozen times or more they have melted
insurrection, and one of their wars was
so pretentious as to be continued for
two years, while at one time they con-
trolled absolutely one Of the States Of
Spain on her east side.
If there is now new rising of the
Carlists the chances of their success
will be far greater than at any time
since the pretension Of the house was
inaugurated. At no other time has
Spain been engaged in a foreign war.
Not since there was a Don Carlos pre-
tender has Spain been in such financial
straits; never before has the drain upon
the material for soldiers been so great;
at no time in this age has she suffered
the loss Of a navy and Of two Of her
principal colonies, for indeed they are
practically lost TO her to-day, fact,
however, of which the Spanish masses
are not as yet aware. When they be-
come acquainted with the truth, we
may reasonably expect them to rage.
and to fall easy prey to the willy Carl
lists who will seek to win them to their
side.
The pretender's supporters will need
but to point to the fact that Spain has
sacrificed 100000 Of the. flower of her
soldiery in Cuba in two years time;
that she has lost fully 100000 more in
the Philippines; that in the two colo
MES there are now cooped up beyond
hope of rescue over 200, 900 other troops
That under the Regency Spain has lost
two large and formidable fleets, and
an army of $4,000 men has been made
captive in a single province Of Cuba,
while 1000 Of the cream Of the Spanish
navy are prisoners of war, some OF them
having been transported to the soil Of
the enemy.
In addition ii will be shown to the
people that the enemy's forces are in
vading Porto Rico, and that a formid-
able navy is fitting out to sail for the
Spanish coast and prey upon commerce
and assail coast cities and towns, while
five transport fleets have been put
afioat conveying soldiers Of the enemy
to Manila, where 5000 American troops
have alreaday been gathered. That
two of the most powerful fighting ships
of the monitor type in all the world
are about to arrive in Ifanila Bay and
make the fall of the capital Of the Phil

The latest advices from Manila are
that, so far from the insurgents inclin-
ing to make terms with the Spanish, as
was reported early in the week, there is
fear on their part that the United
States will not annex the Philippines.
1t is added that the insurgents are
shrewd enough to understand that if
they attempt to hold the country un
aided they will but invite the grasping
Powers of Europe to seek pretext for
intervening and dividing the insular
territory among them. They therefore
naturally want the United States to
fulfill the trust it has assumed and
keep the strong arm Of this Govern
ment outstretched over the Philippines.
This is very different and far more
comforting news than any we have re-
ceived from the insurgent camp yet

confirmation, that the report is verify

that Spain wanted to make some ar

for the debt that is charged up to

these Cuban bonds had been spent for

be only right for Cuba to assume the
debt, but as the money, some four
