ALGER TO RETIRE


senator.
WAsHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The con
tinued denunciation of Secretary
Alger by the newspapers of the ma
tion, without regard to party, has
had its effect on President Mckinley
and indications point strongly to the
withdrawal of the Secretary from the
cabinet.
\ program is said on good author
ity to be under consideration where
by Secretary Alger will be relieved
without embarrassment to himself or
the President. The plants to appoint
Senator James Mcmillan Secretary of
War. Then, according to a tacit
agreement, Alger will be appointed
Senator by Governor Pingree in
McMillan's place.
A few weeks ago the President
formed plan for the retirement of
Alger, and there is little doubt this
would have been carried out had not
Senator Burrows objected. The plan
then began with the selection of Sen
atOr Mcmillan as successor to John
Hay as ambassador to Great Britain.
The appointment of the Michigan
Senator would have made room for
Alger in the Senate
The news reached Senator Burrows,
who came to Washington and told
the President that the appointment
of Mr.. Alger as successor to Senator
Mcmillan would mean his (Burrows)
political death. Burrows had stood
by the President through thick and
thin, and his plea was effective.
1t is understood now that Burrows
has given his consent to the new
plan, and that the only thing left for
determination is the date of Mr..
Alger's retirement. The Secretary
has been very reluctant to relinuuish
his position under fire.
Chairman Babcock, of the republi-
can Congressional committee, denied
the report that the executive com
mi'tee of the Congressional commit
tee intends making a protest against
the retention of Alger in the cabinet.
Another member of the Congress-
ional committee admitted that the
Secretary would be a heavy load for
the adlnipiSfr finn to 90 rrN- +brOrrb
the forthcoming campaign, but, " he
added, Eve have no intention Of ask
ing the President to remove Mr..
Alger"

KILLED DURING THE WAR.

Percentage ofOficers Lost Unprecedented.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 6.-The
official record of the War Department
as far as completed shows that there
were thirty-three officers and 231 en-
listed men of the army, 2G4 in all,
killed in battle during the war with
Spain. These casualties include all
the lives lost in the army in the bat
ties in the Philippines as well as those.
in Cuba and Porto Rico. The per
centage of officers killed is strikingly
large and is said to be unprecedented
in the battles Of the world. The
contrast is especially striking in the
case of The battle OF Omderman
where, although the loss Of life was
particularly heavy, the list of killed
included only one officer of the Brit
ish army.

Mckinley Refuses to Grant Favor Asked
by Spain.

by Spain.
WASHINGTON, d, c., Sept. G.-Al-
though Aguinaldo and his insurgents
are giving no trouble to Admiral
Dewey and General Merritt, and Ad-
miral Dewey was able to report to-
day, responding to inquiry, that
Aguinaldo was treating his prisoners
humanely, though they suffered from
lack of food and from imperfect sani-
tary conditions. Spain has asked
this Government for permission to
send a fleet of warships to the Philip
pine Islands to patrol those parts of
the coast which are not under control
Of the United States, to hold the
troublesome insurgents in check. IL
was represented to the President that
he could permit this, on condition
that the ships be confined to police
duty, etc, as the terms of the protocol
limit our occupancy and control to
Manila and its neighborhOod. and
recognize even this as only congently
permanent.
The cabinet decided adversely to
SPANS request, although it appears
at first glance that this refusal on
our part would give Spain right to
hold us responsible for any outrages
committed by the rebel barbarians.
President concluded that it would
not, MS the Spanish civil authorities
on the islands have the same liberty
Of action now as ever, and can sup
press violence as we'll to-day as before
the war
The President fears that 60 take
any other position would be liable to
lead us into dangerous entanglements,
and the Cabinet agreed in thinking
that if any possible hitch should
occur in the peace negotiations we
should be in the position of having
permitted the enemy to reinforce it
self at our expense.
The complete failure of Admiral
Camara's expeditionto the Philippines
by way OF the Suez Canal has sug-
gested q doubt whether there would
be any Spanish fleet capable Of max
ing the trip of the present errand,
but to this it is answered that Ca
mara's breakdown was one which
showed the futiIitv of takinU his faa+
further into waters where an enemy
could engage it.
There being now no enemy on the
sea to fight or to flee from, and the
rebels haying no land batteries which
could damage the fleet, the same
perils would not present themselves,
and the chance for successful voy-
age would be very good.

THE AIUsTERING-oUT PROCESS
Much Trouble Expected in straightenipe
Out Accounts

Out Accounts.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The mus
tering out of the volunteers will be
followed by vexations and troubles
for officers of the Regular Army and
for many of the volunteers them
selves, This is due to misapprehen-
sion on the part of some of the officers
OF the volunteer organizations re-
specting the property of the Govern
ment which they have in their
possession. The Government will
require that every article be account
ed for.
An instance is related of a Governor
OF one State who received two regi-
ments of troops. He told them they
could take 80 days furlough and go
home. What became of all the equip
ments in their possession, which is
the property of the Government. the
United States officers cannot tell.
Some of these equipments belonged
to the ordinance, some to the sub
slstence and some to the quartermas-
ter's departments. Receipts were
given by some one for these equip
ments when furnished by the Gov
ernment and the volunteer officers
who gave such receips will be held
responsible for them and their pay
accounts will not be settled until
every article is accounted for. If
men have carried home any of the
guns or revolvers, swords or any
other article, or if they have lost any
of these articles, they will be charged
against them and the amount taken
out of their final pay.
The officers whose duty it is to
make final settlements with the vol
teers do not look forward to a very
pleasant time, as information already
received at the War Department in
dicates that there has been a great
deal of carelessness.

Rev. DIR. McIntyre's Wholesale Criticism
of Navy Officers.

Rev. DIR. TIcIntyre's Wholesale Criticisms
of Navy Officers.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 5.-Ever
since the printed reports of the sensa-
tional utterances Of Naval Chaplain
Joseph P. Mcintyre reached the Navy
Department, the officials have been
making a quiet inquiry into the accu-
racy OF the newspaper publications.
The chaplain, who was attached to
the Oregon and was on board when
the battle of July Sd was fought, was
accredited with some savage criticism
of Admiral Sampson, Captain Evans
and various other of the officers of the
American fleet, insisting that to the
officers and men of the Oregon alone
belonged the victory achieved over
the Spanish squadron. He was par
ticularly severe on Captain Robley D.
Evans, whom he charged with cowar-
dice. Apparently the Navy Depart
ment has now satisfied itself that the
chaplain really uttered the language
ascribed to him, for it has ordered his
trial by court martial on charges to
the prejudice of good order and disci-
pline and conduct unbecOming an Off
GER. The chaplain is now on leave of
absence in Denver.

Practically prohibitive taxation has
discouraged the building of steam
railways, but there are about $50
miles of track in operation. An Amer
lean company could readily construct
1000 miles of road within a year, con
Meeting all the principal towns of the
island, securing the carriage of freight
which is now taken overland in OK
carts and on mules, while the passen-
ger traffic would be immense under
the new condition of things. The
main highways are suitable for cleo
trical roads, and already a company
is negotiating for the construction of
a line between Ponce an Playa de
Ponce, a distance OF three miles. Such
a road continued through Juan Diaz
to Coamo, the pleasure resort of Ponce
would prove a veritable gold mine.
for CoamO is noted for it's mineral
baths, has fine hotel and is destined
to attract tourists from all over the
world when it becomes known.
Given proper transportation be-
tween Cayey and the coast the pro-
jector's fortune is assured. Here is
the centre Of the tobacco industry,
excellent cigars being made; some of
the factories there are larger than
those at Playa de Ponce The to-
bacco raised in the Cayey district is
as fine as any in the world. Much of
it has been shipped to Havana in
years past and then found its way to
the United States in the form of high
priced cigars under Cuban brands.

thirds are white, and is the chief city

Me? Well guess not. don't have

and the poor advertising insect crept
out OF his Office and went over TO see
plain approachabie sort of a man

the business he could attend to, and
thought he would advertise.
And it came to pass that in q year
or so that the plain approachable

cause the people had seen his adver-
tisement and knew he was alive.
while they concluded by the same
token that the large pompous man
across the way must be dead, OF dy-

OPENINGS IN PORTO RICO.

Henry Barrett Chamberlain writes
from Ponce to the Chicago NeacS,
showing some of the chances for
American enterprise in Porto Rico.
He says:
The harbor of San Juan de Puerto
Rico is known to navigators the world
over, and the ports of Guanica and
Ponce have sheltered many a mer-
chairman. But all of them may lie
improved; docks and wharves must
take the place of lighters, steam tugs
must supersede the slow and tiresome
labor at the poles and oars; anchoring
grounds and roadsteads must be made
hurricane proof; piers and slips must
be constructed, in order that the inn
mense trade which is to come may be
cared for properly. This necessity
will prove an advantage to men of
large means, for great water front
concessions are to be made to such as
have capital to undertake harbor i'm
l'lON btos LII cldO1tlOIl the DtJLtT-
ment of transportation facilities by
waterways will attract capital. Few
countries of the extent of Porto Rico
are watered by so many streams.
Seventeen rivers, their sources in the
mountains, cross the valleys of the
north coast and empty into the sea-
Owing to the heavy surf which contin-
ually breaks ON the north coast these
rivers have bars across their embou-
chres which do not permit the en-
trance of large vessels; otherwise they
are navigable. Improvements feast
bic for the modern engineer will make
them splendid waterways from the
coast to the inter ior. The streams of
BayamO and Rio Piedras flow into the
harbor of the capital, and are even
now navigable. At high water small
vessels may enter the river of Arecibo
with safety and discharge their car
goes, Notwithstanding the bar which
crosses its mouth. Nine rivers enter
the sea between Cabeza de San Juan.
the northeast extremity of the island.
and the Cape OF Mala Pascua. which
lies to the southeast. From Cane
Mala Pascua to Point Aguila, which
forms the southwest angle of the is
land, 16 rivers enter the sea. On the
west coast three rivers, five rivulets
and several freshwater lakes commu-
nicate with the sea, and in the small
area of 800 square miles there are 46
rivers besides an almost countless
number of rivulets and branches oil
water easily navigable. From the
river OF Arecibo to that of Manati. a
distance of 10 miles, a fresh-water la
goon, perfectly navigabIe for small
vessels throughout the whole of its
course, runs parallel to the sea a mile
from shore. In the wonderfully fer
tile valley of AHasco, on the western
coast, is natural canal, deep and
navigable. This is but a hint at the
transportation facilities which, when
properly utilized, will enable the
bringing Of products from the inter
Tor to the coast at comparatively
slight expense

@I,OoO,OOO OF PRIZE MONEY.
This Sum to be Distributed Among Ameri
can Sailors as Il Result of the War
with Spain.

can SallOFS Us II heSuIU OF the war
with Spain.
NEW YORK, Sept. A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
At least $1,000,000 prize money will be
distributed among American sailors
as result of the war with Spain.
More than half of this sum will be
paid in accordance with the law pro-
viding for a payment of bounty for
persons on board vessels of war sunk
in action. The remainder will be
turned into the treasury for distribu-
tion by the courts, which will pass
upon vessels of the enemy captured
by American men-of- war.
Although not penny of prize
money has yet been turned into the
treasury, Judge Advocate General
Lemly and his chief clerk are engaged
in considering the various claims
which have been filed by officers and
men during and since the war and in
passing upon the various questions
which have arisen in connection with
such claims. From the official report
of Admiral Monteio, commanding the
Spanishfleetsunk atManiIa, there were
1875 persons on board the ships un-
der his command. The Spanish fleet
was inferior in force to the American
squadron, and Real-Admiral Dewey's
men will, therefore, get only 800 for
each person.
1t is estimated that the aggregate
amount due the Asiatic fleet as a re-
suit of the destruction Of the Spanish
force amounts TO $167,500, which Con-
gress will be asked to appropriate
during the coming session. One
twentieth OF this sum belongs to
Rear-Admiral Dewey us commander
in-chief, and he will, therefore, be
$9,375 richer than he was before the
war.
