s.E sA1r LAKE HERALD. FRIDAY, AUGUST 10. 1898

pitiable to believe that in not one in
stance have the Spanish proved worthy
in battle In war of three no-.th;
there have been two battles that will
be remembered SO long as war is inter-
esting to mankind. Nothing could be
verse to the soldier than the report of
the attempted resignation of General
Blanco in the face of the surrender of
his forces. A military officer. by all
the rules Of war, is bound not to do
that.
August seems to be another of the
same kind. He stayed with his army
until it was in distress, and was about
to suffer the adverse fate of war; Then,
instead of bearing the disgrace with
them, and leaving it to his foe to treat
him with the consideration that his
rank and misfortune would have die
tated. he runs away.
This may be Spanish, but it is not
honorable. Better a thousand times to
have died in the trenches in Manila
than to have escaped alive under such
circumstances"
Senator Daniel looks now for an era
of great prosperity and of expansion
He hopes that the Cubans will justify
the hopes of their friends and help the
United States to set up the independent
government they are to have.
We shall go on prospecting for a hun
dred years. ! wish I could live to see
what we shall be then But by that
time I shall have lost interest in the
matter
a moment later he added: 'By that
time, however, the world will be con-
trolled by the English-spe people
of tie earth"

AMERICAS MIGHTY STRIDES
POSITION IN THE ORIENT AT.
TRACTS ATTENTION.
French Press Predicts That Manila
Will Soon Rival Hongkong and
America Will Overtake Her Rivals

Paris, Aug. 1S.-The American posi-
ton in the far east is attracting great
attention. The Soleil says: 1.-THE
Americans will quadruple the value of
the Philippines, and Manila will be-
come the rival of Hongkong. The
United States will have a preponder-
ating situation in Chinese waters.
There is no market they desire more
eagerly than the Chinese, and though
they have been forestalled by other
powers, they Will assuredly oyertake
their rivals by the rapidity of their
progress in that region, and in the
coming breaking up of the Chinese en-
pire the United States will not be con-
tent with the worst fortunes for their
heritage
The Temps, while congratulating
France upon the role of peacemaker,
recognizes the fact that it is not al
ways a good thing to put a finger be-
tween the hammer and the anvil. The
Temps says: THE United States will
not hear a word of intervention, and
France has no interest in compromis-
ing herself gratutiously with a coun-
try evidently destined for a more ac-
tive part in great international affairs.
1t would be artless TO count overmuch
on Spanish gratitude. Therefore, the
French watchword should be Mes

Money On Matte Patterson.

Buffalo, Aug. 1S.-The boast of II. NJ.
Hanna and other Cleveland friends of

Cleveland party lost a barrel of money,
Matte Patterson having sold favorite

At TACES BY CARL|ST BANDS
SYMPTOMS OF AN UPRISING IN
SPAIN.
Manifesto From Don Carlos Will APP
pear shortly-Castilian Band is In
creasing In Numbers.

London, Aug. 19.-The Daily Nails
Biarritz correspondent says: A mani
festo by Don Carlos is announced to
appear shortly. The Spanish ministers
assert that the pretender will not be
able to find enough money to run a
revolution, and will be forced to post
pone the rising until next spring.
There are signs, however, that Don
Carlos will not wait so long. Mean
while the Spanish government will in
crease it's precautions to prevent any
outbreak of Carlism. Though the GEN.
sorship will prevent the publication Of
the fact, it cannot keep it secret, that
small bands are appearing and dis
appearing daily in various parts of
Spain, showing a general state of fer
mentation, born of Impotence with the
present condition of things. The work
of fanatical Republicans and Carlists
is helped by the general misery and
by the prevailing irritation against the
government.
Within the last few days a Gardiner
post near Sueza, in the province of
Valencia, has been attacked by band
of armed men, and a couple of cara
bineers and one civilian seriously
wounded. 1t is stated that the cara
bineers had opposed the landing Of
arms during the night from a barge
near the Tarragona. The civil guard
arrested four men, who were carrying
u old guns.
The Castilian band still continues it's
progress and has been increased in
numbers during the last few days.
From the beginning it was much larg-
er than the authorities cared to avow,
and it has now become important.
In a field near Alganices, in the
province of Zamora, the bodies of a
corporal and two privates of cara
bineers, who had been murdered, prob
ably by men smuggling arms from
Portugal, were found yesterday Close
by another Gardiner was almost
dead. Their weapons had disappeared.
These Incidents however, are only
sporadic, and nothing like a general
uprising is threatened yet awhile.

MORE WARSHIPS FOR UNCLE SAM
NAVAL BOARD PROPOSES FIF-
TEEN NEW VESSELS.
Three Battleships of 5000 Tons Dis
placement and 10 Knots Speed
Three Powerful Armored Cruisers.

New York, Aug. 1S.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: a
naval programme for presentation to
congress, involving the immediate con-
struction of 10 warships, has been
adopted by the naval board of ex-
perts to whom the subject has been
referred by Secretary Long. 1t pro-
Vides for three Seagoing barbette tur-
ret battleships of $1,000 tons displace-
ment and minimum 1872 knots speed
when the vessels are loaded their deep
est draught, or an average speed above
10 knots under ordinary cruising con-
ditions; three first-class armored
cruisers Of 1900 tons and % knots
speed; three second-class protected and
armored cruisers of 5000 tons displace-
ment and 20 knots speed, similar TO the
Maine type, but highly improved, and
for six protected cruisers of 5000 tons
and 16 knots speed.
The reduced speed of the ships.
which is uniformly about two knots
less than that proposed at the pre-
1iminary meeting of the board on
Tuesday, was brought about by the
desire to secure unprecedented range
, of action on account of the increased
responsibilities of the United States in
the Pacific and the certainty that these
vessels, or most of them would be re-
Quired to make up the feet in that
ocean. The sacrifice Of speed to en-
durance was male with a view Of
securing vessels of at least 5000 knots
radius, or capable of steaming straight
away from San Francisco to Manila
and Samoa. The board decided that the
Pacific, rather than the Atlantic
would be the seat for the naval opera
tons in the future and while great
sacrifice to the speed could be made
to the vessels attached to the outer
line Of national defense on the east
coast of the United States, abnormal
coal capacity and high economy were
prime requisites as long as distant pos
sessions to ene westward required pro-
lection. All the vessels, however, will
be as speedy as the fastest vessels
now building abroad and they will be
eminently more practicable in endur-
ance, strength and formidability.
The main battery of each of the
battleships will be composed of four
12-inch rifles in turrets on the center
line fore and aft, similar to those Of
the Iowa, and the secondary batteries
will mount ID and is rapid-fire 6-inch
guns. In addition to these there will
be usually large auxiliary batteries of
assorted FOUNDER sizes; both quick-fire
and semi-automatic. The 13-inch guns
of earlier battleships have been put
dSlQe III new UeSlSHS On account OF
their great weight and because ii will
be necessary to increase materially the
length of the 12-inch calibre to meet
the requirement of smokeless powder,
exclusively to be used hereafter in the
navy.
The first-class cruisers will be COW /
cred with heavy armor from bow to /
stern and will be armed with, four
inch guns in turrets and ten to II g. /
inch rifles in broadside. They are to |
be superior in every way to ships afoat |
in the world today.

cHOATE DEFENDS JURY SYSTEM
ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN
BAR ASSOCIATION.
Denunciation of the Jury System Is
I1l-advised-It Should Be Per-
fected Instead of Abolished.

Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. S-A large
audience assembled in Convention hal
today, AID listered to the annual adj
dress TO the American Bar association
by the Hon. JOSEPH Choate of New
York. The address elected frequent
applause. Mr.. Choate began with ref
erences to the war with Spain. He
said, now that peace has come, the gov
eminent must not be held too firmly to
its declaration of intentions made prior
to the declaration OF war, because pres
ent conditions and responsibilities had
not been foreSeen when those declara-
tons We're made.
Mr.. Choate took for his general sub
ject of discussion Trial By Jury. He
declared that the frequent decuncia-
ton Of trial by jury was il-advised,
and took ID and answered IL detail
each argument for its abolition or
me- dification. He cited the famous lola
trial in Paris to show the superiority
of the American method of procedure
over that of the French. Mr.. Choate
referred to many instances in American
Jurisprudence where justice had seemed
to be perverted in jury trials, but in
each case he showed that the jury sys-
tenn was not responsible. That there
were defects and abuses he admitted,
Dul ne QecldTeQ IL Delter To SlIlNS III

it.
Reports were made by the standing
committees on Jurisprudence and law
reform on judicial administration and
remedial procedure, on legal education
and admission to the bar, on CONNER

ance and on law reporting and digest

Washington, Aug. 18.-It is the opin-
ion of the officials of the treasury de-
partment that there will be no neces-
sity for another bond issue, growing
out Of the war. and with the present
revenue law with possibly slight modi-
fcations, should be retained on the
statute book for an indefinite period.
The following may be taken as the view
OF the treasury department on the sub
iect:
1t may be hoped that no further is
sues of bonds will be necessary in con-
nection with bringing the extraordinary
war expenditures to close. With the
treasury Well supplied ior the early
future, and with the power conferred
upon the secretary to maze temporary
loans of $500, 000, coo if required, any fur
Their resort to bond issues seems a most
remote probability. This view is rein
forced by the fact that with the oper-
alton of the new excise and stamp
taxes the revenues of the government
VIII largely exceed disbursements based
upon ordinary peace conditions. This
increase l., revenue ought to and viii
provide for an increase IN the war and
navy expenditures, which, no doubt,
Will be witnessed even after active mil
ltaly operations have terminated. That
enlarged expenditures for the navy and
the army over the past Will be neceS-
sary IS most obvious, and it is a mat
ter of congratulation that by the wise
action of congress the government has
been put on broad basis.
New York, Aug. IS-ASSiStant Secre-
tary of the Treasury VanderliD, who
has beer hearing some suggestions
from different sections on the POSSIBLE
lty Of limiting the issue of bonds to an
amount below 5000, 0I1,000 the full issue
authorized the idea OF The sUggestors
being that the termination of the war
removes the necessity for more money
than will be provided by the customs
and enlarged internal revenue receipts
smiled when he was asked about the
probability of the adoption of the sug-
gestion, says the Washington CORE
sDondent of the Times
1t is very pretty suggestion Mr.
Vanderlip said, but l do not believe it
will be adopted. The treasury has al
ready accepted the loan and agreed to
furnish the bonds provided for the sub
scribers. A part OF the bonds have
been sent out, and others will follow.
1t is true that there will be less press
ing need for money, as the closing Of
the war Will remove tn. necessity, but
some large expenses have already been
incurred which must be net, and some
will continue for a while after hostili-
ties are stopped"
The reports Of the treasury, putting
the expenditures CT the war a. about
$50, 100000, are not considered as COW
ering all expenses, but simply those
items in the treasury statements that
are charged up directly to the war and
navy departments In other depart
ments the war expenses viii snbstan-
tally increase the aggregate of expen-
ditures in excess of what they would
have been in a condition of peace.

quested that if the statement was not Con-
sidered satisfactory court OF inquiry
should be appointed to ascertain if there
is any responsibility on his part or that
OF the officers to whom the orders for the
supplies had been sent. There is no sug-
gestion that a court is to be ordered.
