A DEEP CUT.
The New Wire Trust Reduces Work.
mems Wages One-Third.

Cleveland, Ohio, July 16.-The Amer
lean Steel & Wire Company, which
controls fourteen of the largest wire
and rod mills in the country, including
the American mill hene notifying the
the American mill here notifying the
fine wire drawers of a reduction of
33 1-3 per cent in wages. This is in
addition to the cut announced by the
trust when it took charge of the mills
several months ago. The price now
paid the men is 81 10 per one hun
dred pounds. AS the men have no or
ganization here it is probable they will
accept the cut.
Manager G. H. Shulef. of the Ameri-
can Wire Works, said tonight that
there had been no reduction of wages
at the works since April, and that none
was contemplated. He said the report
that a reduction of wages had been
posted must be due to mistake.

While the proposition Is tentative 1t
is felt that as minimum demand he
will be content with the acquisition OF
Porto Rico, an admission Of the indie
pendence of Cuba, coaling station in
the Philippines with provision for
some kind of protectorate over the is
land, and a moderate indemnity. 1t is
judged that the Spanish government
has pretty fairly imbibed some such
idea as this, and that the utterances
of Premier Sagasta and the cautious
declarations in the pro-Spanish news
papers are simply intended to grad
ually bring the Spanish populace into
state of mind where they will be
willing to submit quietly to the i'm
position of some such terms of peace.
1t is realized that the conditions In
Spain are not ripe and that some time
how much cannot be estimated now
will be required to cultivate public
sentiment in Spain to the proper point.

THE MISSION OF AMERICA.

But to make an immense people prosper
Gus, happy and free is a nobler and q
grander achievement than the most bril-

So we here, who hold ourselves the debt

hope and trust that whatever else she
undertakes, nothing will De suffered to
divert her energies from her splendid
task in her own ample continent. Those
in every country who love humanity and

most watchful sympathy her efforts in
that task, and rejoice in the prosperity
of her people. But none can feel SYM

We'll Known Charleston Nan Killed
by tho Son Of Jessie Murdoch,
A WOMAN WITH WHOM GOODIN
HAD LIVED, AND WHOM HE HAD
NTGHT-GOODIN AND THE WOMAN
ARE BOTH WELL CONNECTED.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va. July 16.-Sher-
man R. Goodin was snot and killed
this afternoon by James Wharton, a
boy 16 years old.
Goodin was printer and had been
living with woman of i'll repute
named Jessie Murdoch. She was for
merly the wife of Ashton Wharton,
who committed suicide here ten years
ago, after protracted spree. The
woman is from a respected Virginia
family.
Goodin was the son of DR.. G. Goodin,
of indianapolis. Ind. at present chief
surgeon of the Glover Leaf Railroad
Company.
Goodin and the woman did not get
along well together, and last night he
beat her numerically, using brass
KNOCKERS. To-day he started to the
house, where the woman was, saying
that either he or the woman must die.
He was met at the gate by the Muir
dock womans son, James Wharton,
who warned him not to come in.
Another woman, an inmate of the
house, tried to prevent Goodin from
coming in, and while they were
scuffling at the gate James Wharton
went into the house and got a thirty
eight calibre revolver He came out
and fired one shot at Goodin while he
was trying to effect an entrance.
The bullet struck him in the side OF
| the spine and came out under the right
arm, penetrating the lungs.
Goodin died within a few minutes
Wharton was arrested and lodged in
| Jail.

result the troops on both sides remain
in the trenches.
While there is only a remote chance
of the government at Madrid upsetting
everything at the last moment, such an
event is still recognized as a posi-
bility.
However, our plans are being per-
fected as though the campaign were
over. Gen. Skaters headquarters are
to be moved, probably to-day, to the
high ground north of the city, where
the whole of our army will be encamp-
ed after Santiago is evacuated, pending
the possibility of its embarkation for
the island of Porto Rico
The troops which were landed at
Siboney but which were not brought
up are to be sent back on board the
transports Immediately.
Which American troops will remain
here as a garrison. or their number has
not yet been decided on There
is some talk of garrisoning Santiago
with several regiments from the south
ern States, which are understood to be
at sea at present.
THE CONDITION OF THE CITY
of Santiago is said to be dreadful with
filth and stencil everywhere. There is
much sickness among the Spanish SOL
diers. due to bad and insufficient food
and there are many yellow fever cases
in the hospitals.
Our commissioners have just gone In
to meet the Spanish commissioners.

(Signed) SKATER,
Major General
At the War and Navy Depart
ments it was stated this morning
that the officials knew absolutely
nothing of the reports that Samp-
sons feet and an American Red
Cross boat had entered Santiago
harbor to-day. They discredited
the reports.
The War Board, including Sec
retaries Long and Alger, and Adj
miral Sicard and Captains Mahan
and Crowinshield. had a confer
ence with the President at about
II o'clock this morning. Secretary
Day was also present. Secretary
Alger on leaving the White House,
said that the conference was not
particularly important. 1t had
been decided to send additional
doctors and nurses and medical
supplies to Santiago as soon as
possible. The situation, however,
was not serious, but there ap-
peared to be need for more doctors
and nurses, and these would be
sent forward. The Secretary was
in the best of spirits over the situ-
alton at Santiago. Secretary Long
also expressed himself as highly
gratified at the news from Santi-
ago. The conference with the
War Board lasted only short
time.
The War Department has posted
the following:
Playa del Este, near Santiago,
July 16-The following letter has
just been received:

pressed themselves as nlSnly graz
lied at the outcome Of the San
tiago campaign as well as the
terms Of the surrender. 1t was
eminently satisfactory, Gen. Alger
said, and 1t was great relief that
It had been accomplished on the
terms which had been secured.
It is probable that the Porto
Rican expedition was also under
discussion, but Gen. Alger declined
to state what, If anything new, was
decided upon.
The arms surrendered by the
Spanish soldiers at Santiago to
Gen. Shafter will be kept by the
United States government. This
conclusion, reached late this after
noon by the President and Secre-
tary Alger, was made public by
the latter as he left his Office after
6 o'clock tonight for his home.
"All those who have arms will
turn them over to this government.
This is final"
These were the Sccretary's
words when asked for information
on the subject.
"And," he added, in response to
further inquiries and to clear any
doubt that might exist on the sub
ject, "the rifles will not be re-
turned to Spain"
This decision no doubt already
has been communicated to General
Shafter. Up to the time when Sec
rotary Alger's emphatic statement
disposed of all doubt on the matter,
1t was thought in some quarters
that consideration might be given
to the appeal made by Gen. Toral
In behalf of his men that they be
allowed to keep their arms.
Washington, July 16.-The fact
that appeared at last satisfactorily
established this evening after an
other "a hours active cable CORES
pondence with Gen. Shafter, was
that 2s sp..nish army had surren-
dered. ----~
About that there could be no
doubt, but unfortunately the de-
tails are still good deal becloud-
nc 0,,t ~,
despatch.
1t remains now for our govern
ment to decide whether it is will
ing that the Spanish soldiers shall
carry off their arms and while Sec
rotary Alger says that the general
terms of the agreement reached by
Shafter are satisfactory, the gov
eminent is not bound to deliver
these arms, so much desired by our
ordnance officers just at this time.
OF course, the recommendations
of the commissioners who signed
the capitulations naturally would
have great weight with the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of War, but
their present disposition is to in
s.st on the retention of the arms.
principally because of the differ
ence in moral effect that would be
produced by the return to Spain of
armed or disarmed soldiers.
It is realized here that the terms
imposed by the commissioners as
to the removal of the Spanish
troops now augmented to a form
liable total, involve grave respons-
Utilities for our government. Still
the staff corps of the War Depart
ment have risen so well to meet
every emergency as it occurred tina.
there can be no doubt of their abil-
ity to solve the large questions

formerly charged with al matters
relating to transportation.
The appearance Of Gen. Brooke
at the War Department to-day,
gave token Of the purpose Of the
administration to begin immedi-
ately preparations for the dispatch
of a military expedition against
Porto Rico. The General made
what is regarded upon the whole
as a satisfactory report as to the
sanitary conditions existing at
Camp Thomas, and showed that
the troops were in a condition now
to leave for Porto Rico il called
upon. It is understood that two
weeks time will be required to
assemble the transports; get the
troops and supplies aboard at one
of the most available seaports
which, in this case, is likely to be
Newport News, owing to success
full outcome of the last expedition
from that port, and sail away for
Porto Rico.
Luckily for the navy, Santiago
has capitulated just on the eve of
the hurricane season in the West
Indies. The big battleshi2s are
able to stand this weather with
comfort, but the smaller blockade
boats will find the task Of con-
tinuing the blockade fraught with
positive danger. 1t is. however,
the intention at any cost to tighten
the lines of blockade, particularly
at those points connected with Ha-
vana by rail. The surrender of the
eastern end of the island to the
United States will afford some
ports of refuge for our naval YES
sells in case of absolute need.
Secretary Long has decided that
Admiral Cervera may secure
parole if certain details can be ar
ranged, and he wishes to do so.
The admiral is expected with his
fellow officers and prisoners at
Annapolis tonight.
Commander Brownson, Of the
auxiliary cruiser Yankee, was in
conference with Secretary Long to-
day arranging for the trip of this
ship with the large cargo of am
munitiol for Commodore Watson's
squadron in it's attack on the coast
of Spain. The Yankee is at Nor
folk, and will sail tomorrow for
Santiago. She will reach there
about next Tuesday, and the big
stock Of ammunition will then be
placed aboard the battleships and
cruisers. This transferrance Of
powder and shells is a delicate
operation, requiring time, and it Is
probable that a week will be well
along before this and the re-coaling
of the Yankee will permit the
squadron to actually get under
way for Spain.
Owing to the important mission
of Commodore Watson's squadron
and it's possibility of long absence
from an American port, every
magazine on the ships will be full
when the ships sail Admiral
Sampson recently made the requi-
sition for the ammunition supplies,
as these had run low as a result of
the engagement with the Cervera
squadron and the frequent Smelling
of Santiago. One load already has
been taken down on a supply ship,
and the Yankee now fills up the
full quota.
Each battleship will have about
200 tons of powder with fifty to
