Pedro Lopez de Castillo.

General Shafter has cabled from Santiago
letter received by him addressed to the
Soldiers of the American Army and pur-
porting to have been written by one Pedro
Lopez de Castillo a private of Spanish
Infantry, who sezes the occasion upon en-
barking for home to pay his respects to the
Ylctors- He speaks also as he claims for
eleven thousand of his comrades who like
himself, suffered overthrow at the hands
OF the American forces. The document is
pitched in tie high key of Spanish chivaIry
and ceremony. and in sentiment and ex-
preston suggests the average Spanish pri-
waite about as much as it does the Digger
Indian. 1t Is this fact, indeed which,
speaking in the vernacular, gives the snap
away.
The real object is not to compliment the
American army, but to disparage the
Cubans. Take this:
You fought as men, face to face,
with great courage, before stated,
quality which We lad not met with during
the three years we have carried on this
war against a people without religion with
out morals, without conscience, and of
doubtful origin. who could not confront the
enemy. but, hidden, spot their noble vic
Tins from ambush and then Immediately
fed
Pedro Lopez de Castillo-the Cubans fought
the Spaniards just as the Spaniards fought
the Americans until driven behind their
works at Santiago-fFom the bushes, the
tree-tops and tho rocky Businesses of the
Hills But in the one case the Spaniards
did not follow their enemy up and corner
him and force him to fight as In the other
case the Americans did.
In closing, Pedro Lopez de Castillo aligns
himself with Senior de LONE and some pro-
Spanish Americans in favor of the imme-
date annexation of Cuba without any re-
gard whatever for the plighted word of the
United States on the subject of Cuban in
dependence. Hear the solder-statesman on
that point, speaking still for himself and
his eleven thousand comrades:
We wish you all happiness and health
in this land, which will no longer belong
to our dear Spain, but Will be yours who
have conqu' q ed ii by force and watered 1t
with your blood, as your conscience called
for, under the demand of civilization and
humanity, but the descendants of the Con-
go and of Guinea, mingled with the blood
OF INSCRIPTIONS Spaniards and of traitors
and adventures, these people are not able
TO exercise or enjoy their liberty, for they
will find II burden to comply with the
laws which govern civilized communities"
General Shafter has done well to put the
letter in permanent evidence as a feature
of the Santiago campaign 1t is thoroughly
Spanish, and helps to illustrate Spanish
humbus in Cuba. II thsre is any such
private soldier in the Spanish ranks as
Pedro de Castillo, like seventy out of every
hundred of his comrades he probably can
neither read nor write. nor would he be
able to tell IL Intercepted whether his
ship. in heading for home, will sail east or

Hot Weather Madness.
From the Philadelphia Pnblic Iedoar

What is there In the sultry August air
which every summer incites weak or half
crazed humanity to deeds OF violence or
self-siaughter? Is the weak will SO over
borne by adverse physical conditions in this
festival season that the victim of homicidal
mania becomes oblivious of duty and ius-
tice! To find an intelligent and conclusive
answer TO this question might be to save
many life.

Orleans would not have been fought. Had
George Dewey known of the peace protocol

would probably not have bombarded Ma

Trades Unionists Want Him
{ Removed From Office.
GROUNDS OF COMPLAINT
Labor Men Concentrating All Their
Influence.
Chief of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing Alleged to BE Un-
friendly to Organized Labor.

The trades unionists of the country. are
on the track of Claude NJ. Johnson, chief
of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
and will concentrate all their influence to
cause his removal from the position he oc-
cupies
On December 10 last the Central Labor
Union, local trades unionist organization
and the American Federation of Labor, in
annual meeting in Kansas City, Mo-, passed
resolution denouncing the methods of Mr..
Johnson and appealing to the Government
for his removal as matter of public poll
cy. One of the great objections TO Mr..
Johnson's conduct of the affairs of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is that
he has introduced steam plate printing ma
chimes into that department OF the Gov
ernment. The work done by these ma
chimes. it is alleged by the trades union
lists, is very inferior to that done by skilled
laborers and to a great extent endangers
the safety of the Governments money Sc
curities, which the machine work, they as
sert makes ir comparatively easy to coun-
terfeit.
1t is also maintained by the laboring mer
that Mr.. johnson has always been and stiff
is unfriendly TO organized labor.
The American Federation of Labor by
resolution, authorized its executive coun-
ell to petition for the removal of Mr.
Johnson.
