Trouble With Aguinaldo.

The complications between Aguin-
aldo aud his insurgent forces on
the one hand and the Americans
at Manila on the other, seem par
ticularly useless. 1t is hard to be.
lieYe that Aguinaldo will go to the
extent of openly breaking with the
Americans. The result could but
be disastrous for him and his fol-
lowers in still further weakening
the confidence of the world in the
capacity of the Philippine insur-
gents for self-goyernment. The
policy of the Americans toward the
insurgents and their leaders should
be one of firmness coupled with con.
ciliation. The demands reported to
have been made by Aguinaldo in
the nature of things cannot be
granted now. To guarantee 10 the
insurgents the permanent occupa-
ton of the military positions about
Manila preceding the sitting of
the Paris peace commission is
simply out of the question. Gen.
Otis has taken the matter hrmly in
hand and has ordered the with
drawal of the insurgent forces
from Manila and its suburbs.
Pending the settlement of the
terms of peace the United States is
responsible for the maintenance of
order in Manila and must exercise
complete authority there, just as it
does in Santiago. The fact that
trouble is threatened, however,
SHOWS the grave nature of the task
before the United States if it shall
feel obliged to undertake the re-
sponsibility for the control of the
Philippines.

Washington, July q. The war de-
partment was busy yesterday hurry
Ing the dispatch of the remainder Of
Miles expedition against Puerto Rico
Such progress has been made that it
is hoped all of the troops will be on
Pl'erto Rican soil within a week at the
latest. Gen. Miles is not expected to
defer his landing till at that time, but,
presumably will pick out a suitable
place for encamping his troops and es-
tablish himself ashore awaiting the ar
rival OF the other detachments now on
their way. War department officials
have no news from him except through
press dispatches, as the general has
not with him. so far as is known, any
dispatch boats. 1t will be at least Sat
urday before direct cable communica-
ton can be established with him, and
in the meantime reliance must be had
on the dispatch boats running across.
to st. Thomas, distant about four
hours run. 1t was expected at the de-
partment that Gen. Brooke and Gen.
Aalnes would sail from Newport News
yesterday to join Miles, and that most
OF Gen. Brooke's command would be
embarked by Wednesday. The work
Of embarkation at Hampton Roads is
being conducted with much less diff
Guilty and delay than was expected.
Col. Hecker, in charge of the trans
portation division of the war depart
ment, who has just returned from
that place, has reported to Secretary
Alger that it is eminently suited to the
Department Of Troops.
Consequently the secretary has ordered
all of Gen. Grants brigade, 5000 men,
from Chickamauga to Newport News.
1t is not expected that all of the
transports required for their accommo-
dation will have arrived there by the
time the soldiers get in, but they will
be encamped on suitable ground there
and it is believed will be benefited by
the change from Chickamauga
Adjt. Corbin, with his faithful private
secretary, Mr.. Coursey, completed the
hundredth consecutive nights service
at the department, and still there
seems to be little dimunition in the
number of kilograms and letters and
official papers pouring in upon this Of
fee work. The signal service has sue
ceeded in reclaiming from the battle
field of Santiago the tubes which sup
piled the military balloon with pure
hydrogen gas, and they, with the bal
loon itself, have been brought over to
Tampa. The tubes will be recharged
Immediately and the whole apparatus
will be dispatched at once to Puerto
Rico to assist Gen. Miles in his cam
paign there. The balloon is said to
have proved of great value in the San
tiago campaign, and from the charac
ter of the country in Puerto Rico
where military operations must be con-
Quoted, it is believed that it also can
be used to advantage there

Starving Cubans in Cienfuegos Ask
Sampson for Food. H.
Guantanamo Bay, July 27.-The fol-
lowing pitiful appeal has been adj
dressed by the starving people of Glen
fuegos to Rear Admiral Sampson:
Honorable Sir: The Cubans. old
men, women and children, resident in
the town Of Cienfuegos and this neigh
borhood, are all dying of hunger.
Young men are all in the field with the
Cuban troops and have no shoes nor
food. All the provisions in this town
are in the hands Of the SDaniards.
Cubans cannot obtain a piece of bread
as 1t is necessary to send everything
to the field. The Weyler system is in
his way. The situation is terrible.
IT you, honorable sir, do not come
quick with your squadron in our help
and take possession of this town we
shall be lost We beg you to precipi-
tate your operation. About 5000 old
men, women and children shall die of
hunger in this town. Some of these
old men have four Or five sons fight
ing for his freedom. This is our situ-
alton, horrible situation If the great
people of the United States do not
come quick in Our help we are lost.
For Gods sake come quick.
Some Cubans.
Nothing can be done for the people
Of Cienfuegos until that place is cap
tured. This will not be for some time.

rotary Long in his letter of transmittal
makes reference to a letter from the
secretary of state complimenting Ad-

BIG INCREASE OF FEVER CASES.

:
Gen. shafter Reports Five Hundred.
New Cases.
I n washington & II July 27.-In dispatch
TO the war department Gen. Shafter
reports that about 500 new cases Of
fever have developed in his corps at
Santiago. This number includes, OF
course, all classes Of fevers; probably
some son az cases Of genuine yellow fever.
Only one death is reported, that one
being from yellow fever. The cheering
intelligence is conveyed that the stu
alton is improving and that about 400
men who have been ill have returned
to duty. AS heretofore indicated by
Gen. Shafter and the medical officers
OF his corps, the cases Of fever are of
notably mild type. The patients are
i'll from three days to a week and then
return to duty quite as well as ever.
The medical officers concur in the
opinion that this fever renders the
men immune, for the time at least, to
yellow fever. The question of return
ing large part of Gen. Skaters COM
mand to this country for rest and re.
cuperation was under consideration by
the war officials, but the idea has been
practically abandoned, at least for the
present. Those who are ill now or
who have been exposed to the infection
are isolated in detention camps and are
not permitted to return to the main
body of troops until all danger has
been averted. Through the adoption
of rigid sanitary precautions and care
full attention to those who fall i'll, it is
expected that the fever will run it's
course in a comparatively brief time

LAID DOWN THEIR ARMS.

Spanish Soldiers MT Guantanamo
Have Surrendered. R HI 81
Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press.)
Santiago de Cuba, July 27.-Eyery-
thing here is peaceful. The 200 Span
ish soldiers at Guantanamo laid down
their arms yesterday. The $3.50 from
B Palma Sorriano, San Luis and Longo
surrendered Sunday to Lieut. Miley
and pack trains with provisions have
been sent to them. The only others in
cluded in the capitulation are 1000
troops at BaracOa and 1000 at Sangua.
they have not yet been turned over,
& but they are nowhere in Gen. Garcia's
vicinity. He is at Juganita, and
reached there without encountering
any Spaniards. Gen. Shafter author
ICES an absolute contradiction of the re,
port that Garcia encountered force Of
Spanlards who were returning to San
tiago to. surrender and was defeated by
them. &
Col. Ezra p. Ewers, Of the Ninth in
fantry, acting for Gen. Shafter, will
receive the formal surrender of Guam
tanamo. Gen. Shafter has released
forty Cubans who had been confined
in the local jail on political charges.
Indeed, some Of them were confined
without any charges, others on
The Most Trivial Pretexts
and yet others solely because of sym
patty with the insurgent cause The
Jail is still filled with many whose
crimes and sentences are not on record
and absolutely unknown SO far as vet
has been ascertained. A general in
vestigation has been ordered at once.
American newspapers which have ar
rived here contain articles written ap-
parently under a misrepresentation Of
the facts regarding the conduct of the
campaign and the dictation of the
terms of surrender. Gen. Miles was
here simply as visitor and adviser.
In his official capacity he had nothing
to do with the terms of capitulation,
the entire credit for which belongs to
Gen. Shatter, who, on July 10, re-
ceived the following dispatch from
Washington of that date: -
Gen. Shafter, Siboney: The secre-
tary Of war directs me to inform you
that Gen. Miles left here at 1910 last
night for Santiago, but will in no man.

the United States troops in the field
near Santiago so long as you are able
for duty.

DISPOSITION OF TIL ETROOPS.
War Department Has Reached No
Conclusion Regarding Skaters

War Department Has Reached No
Conclusion Regarding Skaters
Men.
Washington, July q. - Rumors of
various kinds have been in circulation
as to the disposition Of Gen. Skaters
army, but the war department has not
come to any conclusion in the matter.
A sufficient force is to be kept at San
tiago to maintain the position of the
United States and to preserve order.
While there is yellow fever infection
in the army no attempt will be made to
bring the troops to the United States.
The war department, it may be stated,
is now bending every effort to secure
for Gen. Skaters army an ample sup
ply of nutritious food, and also will
see the soldiers have a rest and careful
attention so that they may get in the
very best condition. The medical corps
is now making a careful examination
of the army with a view of advising
the department as to the best methods
OF restoring the sick to health and pre-
venting any further spread Of disease.
1t is not believed at the department
that any large number of troops will
be necessary at Santiago after the
Spanish prisoners have been deDorted,
but the department awaits further de-
velopments before deciding upon any
course in reference to Gen. Skaters
army. .Sg, 'fTa -.: ~ p

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Man Shot While In the Act OF Mail
ing a Letter. 5t

St. Louis, July 81. - Charles A.
Brant, stenographer for the electrical
supply company in this city, stopped
to mail a letter at the corner of Tween
ty-frst and Locust streets and was
shot and almost instantly killed. Three
shots were fired and three men seen to
run. Brant staggered across the street
and fell dead. In his pocket was an
affectionate letter, evidently to his
wife, but addressed to p. O. Box 693.
Asbury Park, N. j., also a will headed:
''To Miss Mary Harding, Davenport

It is too much to expect that Jo-
seph Letters reverses will bring him to
poverty and want; but he ought to see
the time when penny additional on
a loaf of bread means suffering for
himself if for no other member of his
family. His enterprise is cruel, and it
ought to be illegal. Happily, there are
a few good lessons in the experiences
of men who corner grain and who have
come to grief; but it is impossible to
present them satisfactorily in view of
the successes of some even larger deal
ers whose millions have descended to
their posterity through several gen.

PEACE WILL BE EASY,
Spain Is Only Waiting for a Chance
to Omen Vaccinations.

Spain Is Only Waiting for a Chance
to Open Negotiations.
Madrid, July u. - Immense impor-
lance is attached here to the words of
Secretary Day, favoring peace on terms
which should obviate the necessity of
Spain having to continue the war, or
giving up in despair. At present Spain
is keenly eager to find an opportunity
for opening peace negotiations. Sec
rotary Day seems to have given the
opening, and it may not be useless to
state that just now peace will be very
easy upon what a diplomatist here has
ascribed as the only possible basis
that is to say, the independence Of
Cuba under and by American guaran-
tee, with the good will of Spain. 1t is
believed here that the Americans, at
ter brief practical experience of
Cuba. will realize the enormous diff
entities attending it's government with
Out Spanish assistance.

"It is believed here,' says a Wash
ington dispatch that the war will last
a year." How should Washington know
more about this thing than New York
or any other commercial and political
center? The war may last year, or
two years. The work of getting ready
for war takes a long time. But Spain
cannot last a year under existing con-
ditions; and one or two United States
victories, such as are liable to occur
any day, would settle the matter SO
far as actual fighting is concerned.

A few years ago, when disastrous
cyclone swept over a. portion of ILL
nois. contributions for relief were
promptly sent in to the amount of
two hundred thousand dollars. In
April last, just as the war was breaking
out, another part of the same state was
devastated by a food, which caused
still greater damage and suffering; but
the public mind was preoccupied, and
the call for aid brought hardly twenty
five thousand dollars. One such fact
illustrates a whole situation. It is a
true patriotism which warns us not to
allow the excitement of foreign conflict
to lead to the neglect Of duties and
interests which lie nearer home.
