CHARGED WITH
INCOMPETENCY

Boston. Aug. 5.-A Transcript special
from Ponce, Porto Rico, says: "of
the Sixth Massachusetts officers. the
colonel, lieutenant colonel and three
majors and three captains resigned.
They were charged with incompetcncy
and lack of discipline.
'oThe trouble in the Sixth Massachu-
setts is partly attributed TO the fact
that white officers refuse to return the
salutations of the negro company. The
examination, no doubt. viii end In
separation, which will be, in effect, dis
bandment. Porto Rican whites are
puzzled and ask
"'Will the blacks be better off under
the Americans than undr the Span
iards?' !"
washington, Aug. Sat the instance
of the governor of Massachusetts Ad-
jutant General Corbin has telegraphed
Gen. Miles saying that the secretary OF
war wishes to know IL there is any un-
usual cause or incident connected with
the reported resignation OF the colonel
and lieutenant colonel OF the Sixth
Massachusetts regiment. The report of
the designations were to the effect that
much friction had occurred between the
brigade staff and the officers OF this
regiment. eading up to a large number
of designations by regimental officers.

SPANIARDS = =.
WERE SURPRISED

The last expedition TO Manzanillo TOOK
the spaniards completely by surprise
and they thought an American force
was landing south OF the town. near
Niquero. The country Immediately sur
rounding Manzanillo is fertile and mil
itary operations could readily be car
ried on there. The only high road leading
out OF Manzanillo goes to Bayamo. With
a naval force, in front OF the city at
this season of the year it will not be
possible for the Spanish troops to leave
Manxanillo except by the road referred
party. The swollen streams prevent the
Spaniards from escaping by any other
way.
The general feeling of the Spanish
forces at Manzanillo and its vicinity Is
shown by the insurgent leader Gen. Rios
who Is encamped within few miles or
that place with $50 cavalry men and he
occasionally makes raids on the out
skirts of the town itself in order 10 OBJ
tain cattle belonging To the Spaniards.
Gen. Rios says five hundred additional
men are now on their way from the In
terror to join him.
Confirmation has been obtained from
the report that the Florida expedition
for the relief OF Gen. Gomez has been
successful. On July "a Gomez was en-
camped about five miles northwest OF
Jucaro the southern extremity of the
Moron Jacro trocha. The Spaniards
evacuated and burned large block
house to the westward of the port or
Tunis, in the province of Santa Clara,
on July "a.

ditor OF the postoffice department. and

timated at half a million dollars per

Madrid. Aug. 5.-The consultations
between the premier, the presidents Of
the chapbers and other prominent per-
sons are described as being really Of q
national character. with a view of as
certaining the opinions OF all parties.
The government has not yet entered
upon any engagement regarding the
terms for concluding the war with the
United States. The cabinet will fol-
low the advice OF the party leaders. and
will leave to the crown the liberty OF
choosing new ministers.
All OF the leaders consulted thus far
have observed the strictest reserve,
with the exception of Mr.. Romero. the
leader Of the Weylerite party. who de-
clares himself in favor of continuing the
war. The queen regent has summoned
several generals for consultation. The
government has no present intention OF
convoktng the cortes. The ministerial
organ says that. in addition to the mon
archists. the queen regent will consult
Professor Salmeron. the Republican
leader and an influential Carlist chief.
The censorship of the papers is con-
Quoted with the utmost severity. The
military censor has excised all =. the
leading papers. including the military
journals Everything having the re-
motest reference to the peace negotia-
tions Is suppressed; and the censorship
is especially severe upon criticisms OF the
American governments pretensions

Liability Of Insurance
Companies to Tax.
SOME EC0NCERNSEXCLUDED
They Must Be Fraternal, Beneficiary
or Purely Local.
DO NOT STAMP MONEY ORDERS.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The commits
sioncr OF internal revenue has rendered
a decision on the liability of cooperative
and mutual insurance companies To tax
under the war revenue act. After quot
ing that part OF the act applicable TO
the case, the commissioner says that
IL is clear from the language that the
exemptions made are not intended TO
apply TO life insurance companies, al
though organized and conducted on the
mutual plan, unless such companies are
"fraternal," beneficiary" or purely
local. in their character.
In the case of the particular company
under consideration, IL Is stated that IL
Is purely cooperative or mutual. is
sues no stock and has no stockholders.
All OF the profits or surplus assets go TO
its members in the way of dividends,
reductions OF premiums. or additions to
policies in case of death. In this con-
nection the commissioner in his letter
SAYS: 'The term fraternar or ben
eficiary,' as used In connection with III,
insurance companies, would seem tn
have no application to the company YOU
represent; and, admitting 1t to be a
purely cooperative association. as
claimed, its business. 1t appears. is not
confined to any particular locality, nor
conducted exclusively for the benefit
of its members without profit. Upon
examination of the form of policy sub
mitted by you. also find that the prem
iums charged are at certain fixed rates
and payable at stipulated times, as In
the case of ordinary life insurance. and
