CHINA Is WAKING UP,
National University and Freedom OF

National University and Freedom OF
the Press the Emperor's Latest.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16-Minister
Conger informs the Department of
State that the Emperor of China by
imperial decree has sanctioned the
opening of national university at
Pekin. In connection with it schools
are to be established in the provincial
capitals and in the department and
district cities It is believed that the
curriculum adopted by the Japanese
university will be followed.
Another dispatch from Minister Con-
ger would indicate that the emperor
of China has taken long stride in ad-
vance by encouraging the newspapers
of his empire to publish a truthful
and full account of daily events and to
be both bold and fearless in the dis
cussion of current affairs. He has
made the Chinese Daily Progress an
official organ and has declared that ar
ticles which appear in Chinese news
papers, though apparently displeasing
to him, shall not on that account be
suppressed. He has directed that inn
portant articles of current events in
the leading papers shall be marked
and presented to him promptly. He
assigns, in his proclamation, the rea-
son for this that he desires to extend
his knowledge of affairs. both Chinese
and foreign.

PREPARED FOR GERMANY,
The BattIeships Iowa aad Oregon
Ordered to the Philippines.
ARE ADDED TO DEWEY'S FLEET,
While No Trouble With Germany Ia Ex.
pected, the American Pacific Fleet VIII
Be Made Superior to That OF the Kais-
er, In Case of Emergency.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-A dispatch to
the New York Herald from Washing.
ton says: Secretary Long stated last
night that the battle ships Iowa and
oregon are under orders to proceed to
Manila by way Of Honolulu to rein
force Rear Admiral Dewey's command.
In directing them to touch at Honolu.
lu the authorities were actuated by
two motives-the first to put them in
central position where they could be
! available for any duty in the Pacific
which might be considered desirable,
/ and the second because they did not
care to send reinforcements to Rear
Admiral Dewey before the arnistice
between the United States and Spain
expired 1t is expected in official
circles that the battle ships and the
five colliers which will accompany
them will be ready to sail Monday.
! They will make few stops and these
| only to coal and communicate with the
department..
While believing there will be no in
ternational Developments to change
the program, the authorities do not
propose to be in such a position that
they cannot modify the instructions to
the vessels in case of necessity, and it
is for this reason that they are to
touch at certain points to report and
receive orders.
So far as Germany is concerned the
authorities say there is nothing in her
attitude to cause the belief that she
proposes to interfere with any DISPOSE
tion of the Philippines this govern
ment may see fit to make. 1t is ap-
preciated, however, that it will be the
part of wisdom for the United States
to put in the Pacific force so formid-
able as to discourage even the sug-
gestion of interference
Germany's force in the Pacific con@
sists of the armored cruisers Kaiser
and Deutschland, the protected cruis-
ers Kaiserin Augusta, Irene, Princess
Wilhelm, Gefion, Cormoran and Fake.
The displacement of Rear Admiral
Dewey's present force amounts to
3O s32 tons, while that of the German
commander reaches 81, ,st1. Rear Ad-
miral Dewey's ships, however, are bet
ter armed than the German men-of-
war, and his men have the advantage
of having been under fire.
The monitors Monterey and Monad-
mock are mainly serviceable for work
in smooth water, and if the German
ships should start for the Pacific coast,
as would be the case in the event of
war, Rear Admiral Dewey would have
only his protected cruisers and gun
boats to depend upon. With two bat
tie ships at his disposal, increasing the
tonnage of his squadron to So, 800 tons,
he would have a force with which the
Germans or any other nation would
not care to meet.

GENERAL SHAFTER'S REPORT.
Washington Makes 1t Public Through the
Press

Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-General
Skaters report of the campaign which
terminated in the fall of Santiago has
been made public. He briefly recount 8
the organization of the expedition and
its embarkment, and then devotes the
main body of the report to the active
operations about Santiago.
The general goes into lengthy detail
over the landing of troops, the battles
fought, the surrender of Santiago,
ETC., all of which is already well
known to newspaper readers Nothing
is made public of the Scovel incident,
or the alleged Misunderstanding with
General Miles or of the tilt with
Garcia.
In closing he says: "Before closing
my report | wish to dwell upon the
natural obstacles had to encounter,
and which no foresight could have
overcome Or obviated. The rocky and
precipitous coast afforded no sheltered
landing places, the roads were mere
bridal paths, the effect of the tropical
sun and rains upon the unacclimated
troops was deadly, and dread of
strange and unknown diseases had it's
effect on the army.
''At Baiquiri the landing of troops
and stores was made at a small wooden
wharf, which the Spaniards tried to
burn, but unsuccessfully, and the an
lmals were pushed into the water and
guided to a sandy beach about 300
yards in extent. At Siboney the land
ing was made on the beach and at a
small wharf erected by the engineers
Il had neither the time nor the men
to spare to construct permanent
wharves. In spite of the fact that |
had nearly 1000 men continuously at
work on the roads, they were at times
impossible for wagons
The San Juan and Aguadores rivers
would often suddenly rise SO as to pre-
vent the passage of wagons, and then
the eight pack trains with the COM
mand had to be depended upon for the
victualing of my army, as well as the
10000 refugees who could not, in the
interests of humanity, be left to starve
while we had rations. Often for days
nothing could be moved except on
pack trains
"After the great physical strain and
exposure of July 1 and 2 the malarial
and other fevers began to rapidly ad-
vance throughout the command, and
ON J-7ly the yellow fever appeared at
Siboney. Though efforts were made
to keep this fact from the army, it
soon became known.
''Thc supply of quartermaster and
commissary stores during the cam
paign was abundant and notwithstand-
ing the difficulties in landing and
transporting the rations, the troops ON
the firing line were at all times sup
piled with it's coarser components,
oat bread, meal, sugar and
coffee. There was no lack of trans
portation, for at no time up to the |
surrender could all the wagons l had |
be used.
I'm reference to the sick and |
wounded l have to say that they re-
ceived every attention that it was pos
sible to give them. The medical Off
GERS, without exception, worked night
and day to alleviate the suffering,
which was no greater than invariably
a campaign. 1t would
have been better if we had more am
balances, but as many were taken as
was thought necessary, judging from
previous campaigns"

ST. THOMAS, D. w. l., Sept. IS
According to the latest reports from
st. Lucia, the storm, which broke
upon the island Sunday night, de-
veloped almost unprecedented violence,
being accompanied by a tidal wave
and tremendous rains. Numerous
landslides were caused, and many
houses, bridges and cocoa estates have
been destroyed. At least twelve lives
have been lost.
Guadaloupe, the French island in the
Leeward group, has experienced very
heavy weather. Nineteen deaths are
reported, and there have been destruc-
tive landsl;des.
A boat from the island of st. Vim
cent, hundred miles west of Barba-
does, arrived yesterday at the island
of Grenada and reports that st. Vim
cent has experienced the most violent
and destructive tornado ever known
there. Kingston, the capital of st.
Vincent, is totally destroyed.
1t is estimated that 800 lives have
been lost on that island, and that 2,5OO
people are homeless The bodies of the
dead are being buried in trenches.
Thousands are starving and being fed
at the public expense.
The amount of property destroyed
in st. Vincent cannot yet be estimated.
Every small house in town and many
large ones have been destroyed. The
demolished buildings include churches
stores, and almost all the estate build
ings
Three large ships are ashore on the
Windward coast and smaller vessels
are stranded.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-W. d. Bynum,
chairman of the national Democratic
party, rendered his resignation to the
executive committee yesterday, and
George Foster Peabody of New York
was elected as his successor.
A resolution which was adopted by
the meeting stopping the salaries Of

cause of Mr.. Bynum's resignation.
Treasurer Franzel, of indianapolis, re-
ported that when the campaign of 1895
ended THERE was Sss, ,ooo-Tsa1r the treas
ury of the national Democracy. Since

There was 81, 500 which could be
had when necessary from uncollected
subscriptions. Mr.. Bynum had re-
ceived SIS, 200 as salary, while $50 was
credited to personal expenses. The
treasurer reported that 81, 700 had been
sent to Kentucky for the 1897 cam
paign; S1,7O0 to Iowa, So. 500 to Ohio
during the campaign in which Hanna
was elected United States senator, and
$500 to Kansas. Finally, he said that
$3.50 had been expended for stationery
and postage.

Madrid Escapes Revolution Queen
Regent Signs the Protocol Decree.
MADRID, Sept. 16.-The premier,
Senor Sagasta, has obtained the sigma
tur2 Of the queen to decree pro-
roguing the Cortes. With it ended d
stormy session OF the senate.
The queen regent signed the protocol
bill last evening. The government had
intended the cortcs to sit until an in
denanity bill for the suspension of the
constitutional guarantees had been
passed, but the threatened agitation
on the part of General Weyler and
others, together with the evidence of
divisions in both the Liberal and Con-
seryative parties, convinced Senior Sa-
gasta of the advisability of closing
down debates which would have him
dcred the free progress of the peace
negotiations.
