AFFAIRS IN

The Spanish government has decided not TO
publish the report OF Admiral Ceryera on the
destruction of his squadron. 1t will be re-
served by the supreme council of war for use
in Admiral Cervera's court.martial. 1t is
learned, however, that the report is limited to
what Admira! Cervera and his senior officers
personally saw. 1t states that the fire from
the American warships damaged the machiu-
cry and destroyed the fire pumps Of the Span
ish ships before they had entirely cleared the
harbor of Santiago, and declares that the Ma.
ria Teresa did not strike her colors. These
were destroyed by the flames after the vessel
WIS on fire. The report goes on TO say that
the insurgents offered to help The fugitives
who were swimming ashore from the strand.
ed warships on condition that they joined the
rebels. This offer was refused, the Spaniards
saying that they were prisoners Of the Amer
leans. a request was made of the Cubaus for
a doctor to attend TO the wounded, but none
was Forthcoming. The concensus of opinion
IN the cabinet is that the combat was honor.
able to Spain, owing to the courage and gal
lsntry displayed by the crews. More sensible
opinion is beginning TO prevail in Madrid and
there are signs of uneasiness unless the gov
ernmen hampers the Spanish representatives
on the peace commission with absurd %instruc.
tions.
Ell Nacional ridicules the idea of the COM
missioners being advised TO demand compen-

A message this morning from Nateague
life saving station, stated that the aux.
iliary cruiser Prairie ran aground be-
tween Amagansett and Nateague at 10
o'clock last night. Fortunately no lives
were lost, so far as known, although
the shock to the wounded and injured
aboard was most severe. That the ac-
cident was not attended with serious
results is due to the prompt action Of
the life saving people here, who rem
dered prompt aid. Lighters were on
their way to the scene long be-
fore ~dayDreak. As soon as they
arrive all the troops will be
taken off and conveyed to the

Rear admiral schley's Ovation.

Rear admiral schley's Ovation.
New YORK, Aug. 26.-Sitting in his
cabin, on board the Brooklyn, of the
victorious United States feet, Rear
Admiral Winfield Scott Scbley welcom-
ed a few friends and guests yesterday
afternoon. To e reporter he said 81
have had slight touch of fever, but feel
much better now" The admiral's trip
from his his son-in-lsw's home at Sauga.
tuck, Conn.,, to his ship off Tompkins.
vile, Staten Island, was a triumphal
oae. The news that Schley was TO dis
embark from a train at the Grand Gen.
trail station brought an immense assem-
blage to that place. The admiral was
nearly crowded off the platform by his
well-wishers. The admiral and Mr..
Wortley, his son-in-law, jumped into a
cab and were driven to the Forty
second street station of the Sixth Ave-
nue Elevated Railroad. At Rector
street the admiral and his guide left
the train aud went to the office of
Brice. Mccormick & Co., Broadway.
Mr.. Worldly is a member ofthat firm.
Wall street men were arriving down
and they rushed to Wortley'5 office un.
Ill the place was packed. Neither Bulls
nor Bears would lose the chance of see
ing the Admiral and perhaps shaking
his hand. At a moderate estimate 5000
men participated in this reception. AT
II O'Clock the admiral boarded a Broad
way car for the Battery, where his
steam launch awaited him. Only when
he got out into the stream did he es-
capa from the %broadsides of applause.
The admiral went to his cabin, where
be remained the greater part Of the al
%ternoop, only appearing on deck for 8
breath Of sea breeze. The ship was
crowded with people, the majority wo-
men, all eager TO see the hero OF San
t ago. Commodore Philip came aboard
from the Texas early in the afternoon
aud had luncheon with the admiral.
Cups and jelly glasses served for tum.
blere. The oombardment of Cervera's
ships had broken nearly everything
breakable by the conclusion.

A Serious Clash mt Cayite.

MANILA, Aug. ga riot between
UHited States soldiers and insurgents
has resulted in the killing Of one sol.
der and the serious wounding of an
other. George Hudson, a member OF
the Utah battery, got into a dispute
with q native shop keeper at Cayite. A
great crowd of natives ran to the scene
of the disturbance and at once began
firing their revolver=, killing Hudson
and seriously wounding Corporal Az
derson, of the same battery, who had
hurried to the assistance OF Hudson. A
detachment of the Fourth cavalry was
called out and dispersed the Filipincs.
On the same night soldiers doing
guard duty saw q party of natives strip.
ping the wreck of q gunboat in Cavite
bay. a boat with an armed force was
put of from shore. The soldiers hail
ed the natives who failed to answer,
when the soldiers fired a volley, killing
one native and wounding another. Gen.
Aguinaldo promptly denied any con.
nection between the natives in these
aff4irs and his army. These fights
show the sullen disposition of the ma.
tives toward the Americans, and it is
feared that there will be frequent and
serious unrlsings.

FRIDAY EVENING, AUG. 90 1898.
PROFESSOR NORTON of Harvard says:

PROFESSOR NORTON of Harvard says:
"F!ineing common sense and moral
principle alike to the winds, under the
influence Of hysterical emotion, with
out decent d~eliberation, without Que
preparation, the representatives OF the
people rushed with childish precipitan,
cy into war, and, what is worse, forced
war upon q weak nation, which. what,
ever it had done to provoke it, showed
itself finally ready to make every rea-
sonable effort to aver it and 10 meet
every legitimate demand OF the United
States"
Mr.. William Lloyd Garrison, Of Bos-
ton, referring to the same matter, says {:
"The late war with Spain was work
ed up with the uuspontaneity of q
labored drama. 1t was not called for
By the people, and was earnestly op-
posed by disinterested thinkers"
Ex-Secretary Sherman says:
~ was opposed TO the war pro
cramme. thought then, and l think
now. that wal was unnecessary. 1t
was brought about because of popular
clamor. To make the demands upon
Spain that we did make was the most
arrogant insolence."
When the true history of the Spanish
war shall be written, the people OF this
country of free schools and cheap news
papers will learn how grossly and eyre
giously they were deceived and to what
selfish purposes their money has been
appropriated. And when Northern re-
publicans talk this way, it isn't at all
wonderful that some hebetudinous
Southern democrats should at to sus
pct something.

HORRORS of Camp Thomas.

CAMP THOMAS, Chickamauga Park.
Ga, Aug. 26.-The condition of the
hospitals at Camp Thomas is deplor-
able. Scores of deaths have resulted
from incompetency. Supplies are
wanting, men are cruelty and inhu-
manly treated, and the hospitals reek
in filth. The nurses are few and in
experienced, and many surgeons are
i.norant Of their work. 1t is q fact that
hundreds of patients are lying
on the ground suffering with ty-
phoid. They are without cots
and receive M attention. A sur
geon comes around once in q great
while 10 look at the sufferers. He may then
make q requisition for some cots, ice, ETC., snd
perhaps in three or four DAYS the supplies
will come, and perhaps they will not. In the
m antime some OF the sufferers succumb 10
the illness. One man. who was desperately
i'll. was ordered to dress himself and be ready
to move He protested, and q kindly your G
physician demonstrated, but those in charge
were obdurate, and the sick man, too feeb e
to lift himself, after two unsuccessful attempts
to Use from his bed, was placed sgain on his
poor cot, where within q few hours he died.
The bodies Of the soldiers, so the I'M
iertakers say. are being operated Ion
10 the interest OF science. The skull of ono
body, which a correspondent cav had
be n split, and the brain removed and the
head stuffed with hay. Hundreds of weak

day long on the depot floors, too weak to rise.
They are without food or attention, unless
some passer-by gives aid. Several of them
have died wni.e waiting for trains. The
camp is fast breaking up. The park is to be
placed in a better sanitary condition. The
chief q~uartermaster has been directed to
speud $4,000 in ditching aud draining the
park properly. This work has already been
commenced.
