London Times Commends Dewey and
Criticises Germany for Irene
Incident.

London, July ia special dispatch
to the Times from Vienna says:
$50 far as Austria having interviewed
in behalf of Spain, it is highly improb-
able that she will take any independent
action in the matter"
The Times editorially says it supposes
Gen. TOraPs resources were exhausted
and whatever orders may have eman-
ated from Madrid he had no option but
to surrender. Between the terms ac-
copied and the unconditional surrender
that Gen. Shafter demanded, the differ
ence is little more than formal In any
case the arrangement must be a great
relief to Gen. Shafter, whose troops
through rain and yellow jack, must have
suffered very seriously. The writer
again urges Spain to seek peace while
there is still a possibility of favorable
terms, since it is perfectly hopeless that
any satisfactory result can come from
delay after this military catastrophe
which is likely to be repeated elsewhere
and the longer the war continues the
more difficult it must become for the
United States to leave to Spain any
part of her colonial possessions. The ar
ticle proceeds:
1T is not difficult to read between the
lines IN Admiral DeWey'S SUudiOusly mod
crate dispatch that the German policy at
Manila came rather perilously near pro
untoward kind. He certainly appears 10
deserve that thanks be rendered him by

bore the resemblance of prOVOcatiOn. 1t

ment will take of the action of the Irene
Though no diplomatic action may be
taken at Washington, the American peO-
pie will not be slow to draw their con-
illusions, which are only too plainly sug-
Sested Dy the language OF the German
press. The German defense that the Irene
acted in the cause of humanity may serve
70 gloss over rather disagreeable Incl
dent. yet the world cannot forget that
Germany has not on other occasions
shown herself to be powerfully swayed
by humanitarian motives and that reasons
of a very different nature were originally
assigned for the presence of her ships at
Manila"

overcome a final settlement, as it was
attributed to the Spanish sensitiveness
against the humiliation involved in
the laying down of their arms.
One of these dispatches, after specf-
flying that this difference had arisen,
added that a settlement would be
reached before the day closed. Cen
eraI Shafter himself summed up the
situation by saying: 1T can not be
possible that there will be failure in
completing arrangements"
No question whatever has been
raised as to the surrender itself. Not
only has General Toral agreed to it,
but this agreement has been ratified by
General Blanco at Havana and by the
Spanish government at Madrid Cen
eraI Greedy received another dispatch
at 5 p. m, containing the information
that Colonel Allen had landed the
shore end of the signal corps cable at
Playa del Este from the cable steamer.
Colonel Allen was not allowed to land
at Playa on account of the Adria COM
ing from an infected district. All were
well on board, but no one was allowed
ashore.
Colonel Allen returned to Baiquiri to
repair the French cable at that point
and establish regular communication
between Playa and Santiago, so that
the army will be in Geographic cOmmu-
nicatiOn with Washington as soon as
the city is surrendered.
The perplexing problem now to be
solved is how to carry out the plans
made by General Shafter to remove the
Spanish soldiers who surrendered to
Spain. 1t would have been no easy I'M
dertaking to remove the 10000 men
across the Atlantic under the best con-
ditions, but the reports that indicated
the existence of yellow fever among the
Spaniards threatened all kinds of diff
culties. After all it was decided to be
only a matter of money, and if the
price offered is large enough steamship
lines can doubtless be found to under
take the task At the best several
weeks probably will be required to
move the Spaniards, so that it will be
necessary to maintain a considerable
proportion of the American army in
the neighbOrhOod for some time.
Still being under no care TO protect
themselves against the foe, the Ameri-
can troops can be so disposed as to
make themselves very comfortable in
comparison with what they have I'M
dergOne, and by removing them into
the hills just in the rear of Santiago
it is believed that the danger of an ex-
tension of the yellow fever will be re-
duced so far that it viii no longer be
cause for grave apprehension. The
surgeons reports describe the disease
as of a mild character, and it is said
that this will readily yield to a change
of altitude.

COMPLAINT FILED
AT Washington Regarding North To-
peka Mail Service.

The North Topeka mail service is IN
satisfactory to the business men on
that side of the river. Formal COM
plant has been filed with the postal
department at Washington, and this
move may result in the removal of Mr.
d C. Hewitt who has held the office of
superintendent of the North Topeka
postoffice for the past six years.
The business men complain that in
order to get late evening mail out OF
Topeka the same night they are COM
PEELED to take it to the Topeka post
office on this side of the river. This,
Iigiously locks UP the postoffice at 6
o'clock every evening. There is also
complaint of the custom of locking up
the office at noon on holidays.
Whether Mr.. Hewitt is allowed to re-
main or is removed, the complaint for
Warded to Washington will prObab bly,
result in better mail service on the
north side of the river. The position of
superintendent pays 81, 300 a year.

HITCH AT SANTIAGO.
Spaniards Insist on the Return
of Their Arms.

Washington, July 16.-There has been
a long and anxious wait to hear fur
Their news from the commissioners
who had been charged to make ar
rangements for the surrender of the
Spanish army at Santiago. For eigh-
teen hours no word came from either
General Shafter or General Miles, al
though there was the keenest desire on
the part of the president and the cab
met officers to learn what was to be
done and whether the actual Surren-
dering of Santiago and the Spanish
troops had been carried out. When
the cabinet met yesterday there was
serve as a guide for the deliberations.
1t was thought the cable had been in
terTupted, but inquiry of General
Greedy, chief signal officer, gave as
surance that the cable was intact.
ThereupOn Secretary Alger sent a dis
patch asking for the situation up to
the latest moment, and particularly in
curing as to now lar the surrender had
proceeded. No answer came while the
cabinet was in session. In the mean
time General Greedy had cabled and he
was the first to hear from the front
A dispatch from Lieut.. Jones, mill
tary censor at Playa del Este, reported
that the message from the secretary Of
war to General Shafter was only six
minutes in passing from Washington
to Playa del Este. The message re-
ceived by General Greedy came at 2:23
p. m, and indicated that negotiations
were still in progress, but as the dis
patch was submitted to the president
no details were given out. Toward the
middle of the afternoon dispatches
from General Shafter and General
Miles began to arrive, in response to
Secretary Ayers dispatch. They were
not given out in full, but such portions
as were made public showed that the
negotiations were still in progress and
that the Spaniards had raised some
rather unexpected questions. Most i'm
portant of these was an insistance that
the Spanish troops should retain their
arms when they are returned to
Spain.
There was entire willingness on the
part of General TOral to turn over the
arms to General Shafter at the time of
the surrender, but was to be with the
understanding that the arms were to
be returned to the Spanish troops
when Spanish soil was reached. This
was condition which had not been
anticipated The authorities here did
not regard it as serious, or as likely to

NO MONEY FOR INDEMNITY.
London Times Thinks America Will
Continue Conquests.

London, July 16.-AH the disaptches
from Madrid to the London morning
papers agree that Captain General
Blanco and his staff, are now willing
to let the decision as to peace or war
rest with the home government. This
change of attitude is supposed to be due
to the lack of provisions and equip
ment.
The Times commenting editorially
this morning on the reported statement
by Lieutenant General COrrea, the
Spanish minister of war as to the
terms upon which he thought peace
might be arranged, says it is afraid
that none of the terms Gen. Correa sug-
gests has any chance of acceptance at
Washington.
1t viii probably be realized at
Washington that the chance of getting
a money indemnity is extremely remote
and as a business transaction, the
Americans will probably take any in
demnity they think proper in the form
of territory, should any colonies be left
in Spanish possession at the conclusion
of peace

Salinas New Team is Playing Fast

Salina took the second game of up-to-
date base ball from the Topeka team by
the score of 4 to 2 yesterday.
Baily, Topeka's new center fielder,
demonstrated the fact that he is a ball
player. He raped out a two base hit
and two singles. In the field he gather
ed in four chances with no errors and
had one assist. His playing is imprOv-
ing steadily with each game
As usual the decisions of Umpire
Chamberlain were unsatisfactory to
both teams and the crowd. Griffin was
called out on first and a ball driven
by Cole down past first was called
foul. Both of these decisions were
wrong and the crowd was loud in it's
disapproval. The old time rooters were
thoroughly disguised yesterday with
the umpire.
Freeland and Loman were the points
for Salina and MaUck and Fear for To-
pel1a.

FLOUR GOES BEGGING.
A Car Load in North Topeka Without
an Owner.

The state of Kansas has a car load
of flour in the Union Pacific yards in
North Topeka that it does not know
what to do with.
Last January the board made a con-
tract with J. A Fogarty, of Junction
City, for 100000 pounds of flour, at
S2-0S per hundred. When the contract
was made it was for 100 900 pounds,
more or less. The board took all but
Is, 600 pounds under the contract but
then managed to make a new contract
with another firm at S1.65, and Mr.. F'o-
garty was notified that the board of
charities wanted no more of his flour.
But Mr.. FOgarty was not to be dis
posed of so easily. He had a good
thing, and did not propose to let go of
it without a protest, so he loaded a car
with $4,000 pounds of flour and shipped
it to Topeka to the order of the board.
The board disclaims ownership of the
flour and so does Mr.. FogartN.
