Combined Fleet VIII Attack Us.
Ex-Secretary OF the Navy Hillary A.
Herbert is quoted as saying:
II have been informed that the Span
ish fleet has gone TO- Cadiz. II this is so,
1 think the Spaniards propose to consoli-
date their fleet before attempting to cross
the Atlantic.
'They will. in my opinion. get together
as strong a fleet as possible. and will
then sail for America. 1 do not think 1t
will ever be necessary for our vessels to
attack the Spanish coast.
'If we capture the Philippines, Porto
Rico and Cuba, we will practically end
the war, but / believe the Spanish navy
will be forced to come here and give
battle.

should refuse to do this"

GARCIA'S LETTER
And the Friction Between United
States Troops and Insurgents Dis
cussed by the Cabinet.

Washington, July 22-The letter
written by Gen. Garcia was read and
discussed at some length at the cabinet
meeting to-day, and the opinion was
expressed that it evidently was based
upon wrong conception CT the pur-
poses and motives of our people.
These, it was said, should long ago
have been fully explained to him and
to all the Cuban leaders. If it was
true, as had been reported, a member
of the cabinet said, that Garcia was
not invited to participate in the cere-
monies attending the raising Of the
American flag at Santiago it was a
mistake. Everything reasonable, he
said, should be done TO win and keep
the friendship of the insurgent Gu
bans and they should be made to
know that the C.,ly purpose of the
United States in waging war against
Spain was to secus for all he people
of Cuba relief from the oppression or
Spanish rule, and stable and salts
factory government established by the
people themselves. OF course, it was
added, it is not the intention of this
government to drive the Spaniards out
and then formally turn the island over
to the insurgents, or TO any other par
ticular class or faction. This govern
ment had never intimated such a pur
pose, but on the contrary it was well
understood that a stable government
for and by all the people of Cuba had
been the only purpose and the end
sought to be attai- ed. The Netails in
cident to the establishment of such a
government it was said, have never
been discussed by the cabinet at any
great length, but there could be no
difference of opinion as to the general
plan. All of the people of the island,
it was declared, must be given an OPP
portunity to express their views as to
the character of the constitution under
which they were to live and also as to
the men who should make and execute
the laws. The insurgents Cubans GER
tainly could not consistently ask for
more than this.
Secretary Alger stated late in the day
that there was no foundation for re-
ports that the Cubans had been cut off
from rations. The Secretary had
talk during the afternoon with Senior
Yuesada, secretary of the Cuban lega-
ton here, which was very satisfactory
to all concerned. Up to the present

at the Lenox Athletic Club tonight.
Santry showed better than when he
met George Dixon In the same ring a
few weeks ago. He fought more open
" tonight. but he had not the strength
Of which his rival was possessed.
Santry entered the ring accompanied
by Tom Sharkey, Tim McGrath, Jack
Cassidy and Spider Kelly. Bernstein
followed with host of handlers, among
whom were his manager, Charley
Koran, Paddy German, Jack Coates,
w. Whitman and Tom Casey.
Santry put up good contest, but
his blows were not as telling as those
he received. In the fourth round
Bernstein ducked and stumbled and as
he did SO Santry swung his left on top
Of the head and Joe went down. There
was lots Of close-quarter fighting, of
which Bernstein had the best Of 1t.
In the thirteenth round Santry hooked
his right to the head, stunning Bern
stein and making him more cautious.
When they went to their corners the
local boxer dill not show mark on the
body, while. Santry's face was badly
marked and his body and ribs were
very red.

Another fatal street car accident oc-
CURED at Benwood shortly after six
o'clock last evening. A six-year-old
son of Henry Shrack was run over by
a car of the Wheeling motor line, in
front of Gates drug store, and re-
ceived fatal injuries. The boy, with
his sister, attempted to cross the street
as the car was coming towards them.
The girl got across all right, but the
boy was caught under the fender. 1t
is stated by those who are said to have
seen the accident, that the fender did
not drop. The boys both legs were
cut off between the knees and thigh.
Doctors Mcdonald and others were
called to attend him, but owing to the
critical condition of the patient de-
ferred performing any surgical opera
ton. The boy was taken home, and
was conscious early last night, but
death resulted at half-past nine.
Rags were wrapped about the ends
of the severed limbs, and before he
died the boy begged piteously to have
the rags removed, saying that they
hurt him. The car which run over
him was in charge of Motorman Burke
and Conductor Padden
This was, unfortunately, the third
serious street car accident that has
happened at Benwood within about
week. Young Henry Powell, who
was run over by motor in Upper Ben
wood Thursday, is still living, but in
q critical, condition. He was removed
to the Wheeling City Hospital yester-
day.

CHEERS FOR HOBSON.
An Enthusiastic Reception for the
Hero of the Merrimac When His
Identity Was Discovered.

New York, July 22-Lieut. Hobson,
who took the Merrimac into the
channel at Santiago arrived here to-
day on the United States cruiser st.
Paul. and proceeded at once to Wash
ington by way of the Pennsylvania
railroad.
When Hobson left ferryboat at the
foot Of Whitehall street it took but
few moments to learn his identity, and
a crowd soon gathered to cheer him.
The St. Paul made the run in four
days from the harbor of Guantanamo
with all we'll on board. On arriving
at quarantine the surgeon of the St.
Paul presented the first bill of health
from Cuba received from a United
States officer since the war commenced.
1t was dated July IS, and signed by
United States Naval Surgeon Went
worth, countersigned and endorsed by
Commander McCalla. Of the United
State cruiser Marblehead, as fol-
lows:
This harbor is used for military
and naval purposes only"
Accompanying Lieut. Hobson was
Congressman ]. w. Wadsworth, of
Genessee, n. Y, who was at the sur
render of Santiago, and also came as a
passenger on the st. Paul. Lieut.. Hob
son said that he had inspected the
wrecked Spanish warships, and he is
certain that if prompt action is taken
two Of them, the Cristobal Colon and
the Maria Teresa, can be saved. The
Oquendo is total wreck The Vizcaya
is not quite as bad as the Oquendo, and
some Of her guns may be secured.
Should a gale spring up" added
Lieut.. Hobson, "all the work of the
wreckers would go for naught, and the
Colon and Teresa would be lost to US.
That is why l am hurrying to Wash
inG6A Do explain to the officials there
the necessity of making contracts at
once for the raising of the warships
They doubtless will do so when they
understand the situation as I explain
it."

NO DEATHS.
General Shafter Sends An Encourag-
ing Report-Rud Corbin Has Yellow
Fever.

Washington. July 22.-At 1880
o'clock tonight Adjutant General Cor
bin received dispatch from Gen.
Shafter announcing that there had
been mo deaths to-day"
Tie dispatch contained only the
three words quoted, hut it was
freighted with cheering intelligence to
the war officials. The outlook of yell
low fever among the troops at San
tiago has given the administration
much concern; but the reports of the
medical officers agree in the statement
that the disease is of a comparatively
mild type. While there are many
cases, some Of them serious, the belief
is expressed that the disease will be
curbed without serious loss to General
Skaters corps. Every possible atten-
ton is being shown those who are i'll
and extraordinary precautions have
been taken to prevent the spread of the
disease among the troops.
Gen. Corbin early in the night re-
ceived private cablegram from Gen.
Shafter informing him that his son,
'Rud' Corbin, who accompanied Shat
ter to Cuba, is in the hospital with yell
low fever. He has been Ill for several
days, but his disease was not until to-
day diagnosed definitely as yellow
fever. Young Corbin is receiving care
full attention, and while the attack is
serious, there are hopes of his recov-
cry.

Sensational, Disgusting and Fnthy Tsstt-
mony Brought Out.
Special to the Register.
Sistersville. w. Va. July 22.-The
trial of Prosecuting Attorney Strickling
at Middlebourne is still on, and the fur
Their it progresses the forse it seems
to be. The evidence adduced last
night and this morning was positively
disgusting.
One of the witnesses examined was
Nellie Baker, an inmate of a house of
prostitution In this city, and her evil
dence was positively the worst of any
yet heard. She told some things on
the stand that could not under any
possible pretext be printed in a de-
cent paper Other witnesses examined
were neighbors of Strickling and peo-
pie living in the interior Of the county,
and If the witnesses had any regard
for their oaths the prosecuting attor-
ney, according to their story, is GER
tainly a terrible person.
Several of the witnesses examined
have testified that they were with
Strickling when he was in question
able resorts and that they knew he
was receiving money from the speak
easy men. There have been not less
than half dozen speak-easy men ex-
anined, and all of them have sworn
that they have given him hush money
The prosecution has rested its case,
and the defense will take up the other
side at once. The case will last until
some time next week
