Killing an Army by Inches.

II S soon as the country learned
I that Spain was prepared to con-
slider peace, President Mckinley
sent in the name of humanity and APP
pealing for the speedy conclusion Of
hostilities, TO the end that our soldiers
might be released from the risks OF dis
ease tina environ them at Santiago.
Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler. widely and
well known throughout the United
States. sent a message which has been
widely quoted as a type OF the kind with
which the white house was deluged.
His telegram reads: stand like ada
mant for the earliest honorable peace;
10 send more OF our brave men into the
fever hospitals would brand us with
cruelty before the whole world"
This is rather ardent advice-it may
be called impracticsble. especially as
the administration knew what it nae
reason TO anticipate in the way of a
fever scourge when plans were changed
n the scene Of expected hostilities
was transferred from Havana to the
province Of Santiago. The manage
ment of the war undertook to brave
fever.
1t transpires that the season in Cuba
is making the situation as desperate
as IL well could be. AS well quarter
brave soldiers in a pest house as to
keep them in the camps where SHAFT
ter's men are held. Spite of the bulle-
tint that have come from his head
quarters, the opinion has grown that
the capitulation OF his forces TO fever
and disease must be complete. And
this view is su~bstantiated by the testi-
mony that came direct from Skaters
camp in a press dispatch printed yes
terdsy morning.
II appears that the suggestion Ia
move the army to the interior Of Cuba
came from medical authorities In the
service. ON July Is DR.. Sem estimated

Late i'm the Day.

~HOSE among the people of the
United states who are thinking
that IL would be a good thing to
migrate to Porto Rico and grow up
with the country will discover that in
the role Of pilgrim or tenderfoot they
are helplessly behind the times. Porto
Rico was colonized too long ago to be
a tempting field for adventurous Ameri-
cans who always want lots of room to
grow in. The island Is much more
densely populated than are the most
thickly settled portions of the United
States. Rhod Island has more in
habitants to the square mile than n
state of the Union, and Massachusetts
comes next. Porto Rico has $500
sauare miles of area. while Connecti-
cut, which is nearer her size in point
of territory thar any state of the
Union. has 1925 square miles. The
population of Porte Rico is pa persons
to the square mile. while that of Con-
necticut is but 154.
Connecticut, too. as the Springfield
Republican remarks, gets her numbers
largely from the concentration of popu-
lation in cities and I'm manufacturing
towns. while that of Porto Rico Is
mostly of an agricultural character.
The discrepancy in population is most
strikingly seen in Florida. a state
nearer the latitude of Porto Rico and in
distance from her of any in the Union.
yet Florida has but seven inhabitants
to the square mile. There would not
seem To be much inducement to the
people of the United States to mi
crate to Porto Rico under these con-
ditions.

AGUINAlDO COMES DOWN.
The Problem May BE solved in a Salts
factory Manner

New York, Aug. ga dispatch 20
the World from Manila bay by way OF
Hong Kong says: Aguinaldo is becom-
ing more friendly to the Americans.
He has made two propositions to Gen
eral Merritt which may solve the in
surgent problem in a manner highly
advantageous to the United States. In
the first place he asks the commander
in-chief of the American forces TO al
low the native troops to marCh
through the streets of Manila when the
city s~urrenders.
General Merritt appears inclined tn
consent to this. 1t would gratify the
vanity of the natives to let them in
dulge in what will seem to them a trl-
umphal march as victors through the
capital of the enemy they have been
successfully combating and besieging
since the whipping out of Montejos
fleet. At the same time the native
troops. being thus arrayed. in line n
under direct orders, may be more cas-
lily controlled and prevented from eX-
cesses.
In the second place A~guinaldo sug-
gests the formation of Philippine reg
ments with American officers. TINS
is considered a highly satisfactory
| proposition, a possible key to the whoie
situation in the island. h native
troops would, of course be constantly
under the eyes and direct orders of our
men. 1t is believed that they would
obey n be easily controlled under
the actual command of the Americans
The American troop now occupy the
trenches in front of Malate. a suburb
of Manila, which was constructed by
Aguinaldo. The rebels withdrew to lei
their places he filled with the Ameri-
cans. The Astor battery, supported by
a battalion of the Third Infantry, Is
now in position at the front, It's guns
being planted within a thousand yards
of the Spanish lines.
Fathers Dougherty n McKinnon
the former being on General Merritt's
staff. have gone to Manila to hav ar
interview with Archbishop Nosaleda, oi
the archdiocese of the Philippines. ant
to point out to him the futility of re
sistance to the American troops.

humanity. An officer Of 34th Michigan.
who was on the troopship Harvard dur
ing the destruction of Cervera's heet'
and who went on a lifeboat to the
rescue of the Spanish sailors. tells OF
an incident that illustrates one phase
of Spanish character. while we were
taking them off," he says, "a sailor
whose strength was pretty nearly gone,
swan up to the boat. l had one Span
lard in the boat whom / had picked up
a few minutes before and ! told him to
pull the drowning sailor In. he
answered in Spanish that being an
officer he couldn't condescend to give
assistance to a menial. The coxswain
of the boat wanted to know hat
answer he made. and when l inter-
rupted It for him he let out an oath and
wanted to brain the Spanish of1cer
with an oar. The sailor that j asked
the officer to help sank before we could
assist him and did not rise again"
The Spanish officers conduct was
eminently Spanish. What Spain needs
is some sort of a revolution-if neces-
sary something of the 1898 order-that
will teach her the meaning of liberty.
fraternity. equality" Until she learns
that much. she will continue to trail at
the end of civilizations procession.

is rendered possible through two appro-
priations heretofore made by congress for
naval stations in the Pacific, which pro-
vide a balance of $3.50, 600 Immediately
$4,000. remains out Of an appropriation
of recent date specifying no particular
locality for it's expenditure, although it
was understood to be intended for the
preliminary Improvement of Pearl har-
Dor. Hawaii now being United States

Samoa is imperative.
Another $50. 900 remains u~nexpended of
the sum of three times that amount
which was placed at the disposal of the
executive more than Is years ago. out
of the latter appropriation 5000 tons of
coal were sent in a schooner from Phila-
delphia and landed at Page Page. where
sheds were built over IL. Most of this fuel
has already been used by American war
ships. on account of the difficulty of
transporting 1t from shore to the ships
by means of small lighters. however, the
locality was not popular then with naval
officers as a base of supplies. although
every official report from commanders
visiting the harbor was enthusiastic in
recommendations of its Improvement and
maintenance by the United States.
The great advantage to be gained by
the possession of this station are evident
from a glance at the map of the Pacific
ocean. II Is situated exactly 4.lJO miles
from San Francisco and 4.012 miles from
Yokohama. the distance between Yoko-
hama and San Francisco being 1884 miles.
Page Page is 2.26s miles from Honolulu,
the latter American port being just about
the same distance from San Francisco.

gunboats were built specially for duty In

~HE United States goldbug must
now tackle a harder job than
ever. This goldbug proclaimed.
two years ago. that the Bryanites were
dishonest because they advocated what
he called a dishonest dollar. He must
now include the British money world
and the treasury authorities in London
in the class OF dishonest people-the In
dia mints are about to be ~re-opened to
silver coinage. The American goldbug
will make himself ridiculous in en-
larging to proportions so vast the area
in which he will inclose the men he de-
nounces as dishonest; but he must keep
up his cry. or abandon his assertion.
Then, too, the American goldbug is
about to run right up against the whole
British realm. which is presently TO go
officially on record with the proof that
the goldbug is altogether wrong when
he prates about the worlds supply of
gold being ample for the worlds COM
mercial purposes. BY practical test
London has tried nightly to make that
assertion good. and Great Britain's
treasury is about to admit, officially,
that the thing ant be done. London
is going to expose the fallacy on which
this American goldbug-never dream
ing that England would go back on
him-has been ringing the changes.
This mornings most interesting lines
in the Standard are the special dis
patch relating to the opening of the
India minis and including a talk with
Mr.. Towne. That gentleman does not
forget to point the moral; he takes
notice of the fact that, without an ex-
ception. the republican state
tions of this year have utterly repu-
dated bimetallism and declared out
and out for the unadulterated single
gold standard. They are. indeed. in a
bad box. these republicans; England
and the stopping of silver coinage at
the India minis was their best hold.
This country's ~goldbugs will be obliged
to exploit their sophistry the same as
ever, but they cam prove anything by
the British treasury. Watch out and
see how they will wiggle in the effort

they agreed in saying that the army

states: that II can be done without
danger to the people of the United

SATURDAY. AUGUST 6. 1898.
A Round-Robin. Indeed!

~OuCHING the conditions at san
tiago. one of this mornings
press dispatches mentions as a
round robin the communication ad-
dressed by some Of the officers there
to the authorities in Washington. Com
munication is. itself. not the right
word-what these officers sent was an
appeal that the troops under their com
mand be removed. in common human
ity, while yet some of them were able
TO make the short march to the trans
ports.
The press dispatch aims a term of
gross contempt at these officers. BY
all good authority a round-rohin is a
document or petition having the sig
natures written in a circle. so that no
name shall be more prominent h any
other name attached. 1t is a direct in
situation Of cowardice.
The press dispatch which describes
the appeal as a round-robin, is an in
suit to these officers who so CALAMITY
led their men in a fight which was
made hve-fold more bloody because Of
the notorious failure of the war de-
partment at Washington to do its duty.
Things reached a pass so dire. near
Santiago, that some of the officers inn
plored the war department to get their
sick and dying troops out of the
try where every day of delay made the
peril greater. They did this realizing
that the immunes were a~bundantly
able to take rare of every American
interest in the region of Santiago. The
troops ought to have been removed
long ago, and God knows and the
American people know that the depart
ment of war did not lack the
wherewith to make the removal.
The Standards hope is that il was
through an unusual inadvertence that
the press service was permitted. in the
use of a term of contempt, to fling an
unearned insult at these American OFF,
GERS: the added statement of this morn
ing. under Washington date. in the
nature of a defense of the war depart
ment. does not alter any item in con
ditions at Santiago that are needlessly
horrible.

TROOPS SELECTED.
Regiments Picked Out for he Next Ex-
petition to the PHILIPPINES.

fNttfo w hh'
San Francisco, Aug. 5.-To-day word
was received at General Miller's head
quarters at Camp Merritt from General
Merriam announcing the first official
selection of the troops who are to sail
on the Scandal and Arizona. They are
the eth California volunteers: light bat
talon of the 18th regulars; first battalion
of the 23d regulars. and recruits for the
regiments that have already sailed for
Manila.
The Goth Kansas struck camp at
Richmond and moved to the Preside
to-day. The LIST Tennessee will to-mor-
row initiate the example of the Kansas
regiment. Camp Merritt will then con-
tain only the forces who will compose
the expedition to sail on the Scandal
and Arizona.
George Stillwagon, who was ~discharg-
ed from Company X, LIST south Dakota
volunteers. died to-day at the post hos
pital of septicemia, following vaccina-
ton.
The Arizona and Scandal will prob
ably be able to sail a week from to-
morrow. They will be used in future
as permanent government transports.
No word has been received about subse-
quent Manila expeditions, and General
Merriam Is awaiting word from the war
department to learn what disposition to
make of the remaining commands here.
Nothing has yet been decided about the
transportation of the remaining seven
companies of the New York regiment
and they may not get off before Aug.
Is, which was the date set by the first
terms of the contract.
The Nevada and Utah volunteer cav
airy did not start for the national park
to-day, according to programme, as
they have not yet secured the neces-
sary mules.
