The secretary of war has been for some
days considering the problem of dis
posing of the large number of prisoners
VINO are expected to be captured at San
tlago and Porto Rico. Yesterday he
conferred with several of the we'll
known southern officers among them
ex-senator and now Major General But
Ter, as to the best policy to be pursued.
1t has been practically decided that the
prisoners viii be placed on board the
transports now at Santiago and brought
to the United states. In this event the
military prison will be established at
Fort Mcpherson near Atlanta. The adj
Vantages possessed by this site are
numerous, but the most important Is
the freedom from possible spread of the
yellow fever. The transfer of the prs-
oners to this country will be necessary
because Of the difficulty of feeding so
many thousand men on Cuban soil and
also because the war department does
not wish to maintain a large army at
Santiago, a detail which would be neces-
sary should the prisoners be kept at
that point.
The government has determined to
send heavy endorsements to General
Shafter at Santiago. The first expedi-
ton will leave Newport News Thursday
morning carrying Brigader General
Dutlield' s separate brigade of the Second
army corps, made up Of the Ninth Massa-
chusetts, the Thirty-third and Thirty
fourth Michigan and the Third Vir-
ginia regiments, in all about 1000 men.

tree on the bank of the Winooski river.

In Very Dad 5shapr-ihe Government IL
Thoroughly Alarmed.
s LONDON, Jan. So-The correro, or
gan OF the Carlists. discussing the visit
of the United States battlesh!p Maine
to Havana, expresses the belief that the
Spanish public is justlnably alarmed.
adding: ].
4"As q fact, It is the government Itself
which is seriously alarmed, though
every effort is made to disguise It. In
spite OF the official statement OF Admiral
cervaras, the admiral of the fleet, on
Tuesday last Cat conference with the
mlnlster2of marine. when he asserted
that the recent evolutions had demon-
strated the perfect condition Of the
Spanish neet), Admiral Cervaras in re-
atty reported that there was not ship
ready for service; that the vessels not
actually In dry dock ought TO be there;
that many Of the boilers were detective:
that some ships were not yet armed,
and that most OF the vessels required
cleaning. In view OF the periidy OF the
United States 1t Is not surprising that
such neglect and helplessness create
ALARM" ~ !
According to the same paper. great
Importance Is attached to the confer
ence between Patenotre. the French
minister to Spain. and Cullen. the Span
ish minister for foreign affairs. who. 1t
is said, discussed the action Of the.
United States, "as It Is we'll known that
there is great alarm In France at the
course OF events. The fact that Pate
notre Is Intimately conversant with
United States affairs lends additional
Importance to the matter"

dent had quoted further no would

but once IN the constitution. In seetihnioi
Sot Article i, In which Il Ii simply pro-
yided that no state shall make any
thing but gold ana sllyera tender In the

There is;nothing Inconsistent in the
present policy OF the government. With
that provision. In fact, since the go.
called rstrlking down OF silver there has
been q larger coinage OF silver dollars
and a greater use OF them as money In
this country than there was in the entire
history Of the government previous to
1873, and We are still coming them in
vast quantities, and keeping them at a
parity with gold. There Is nothing in
the constitution thai warrants the adpp-
ton OF a policy that would place US on a
silver basic, nor TO make our coinage of
silver go unlimited as to flood the cpun-
try with deprecated currency and drive
out The better metal from circulation.
or,even drive It iron, the country. Nor
Is there warrant In the constitution to
permit Congress to Ak the coinage at a
false ratio. The fathers Of me republic
were honest men and never would have
provided in the constitution for the colin
age Of the two metals at a dishonest
ratio. Where does the Register find In

quoted from It's neighbours editorial COL
umns to show where that paper stood In
1893. In writing about consistency and
charging dishonesty asa!ns; others, who

changing conditions. why should not the
Register apply to Itself the same accuse
lions? Why assume that every one who
changes his views on a public question
: Is any more dishonest than the Register
Itself, which has done that very thing?
Was the Register not honest when 1t was
supporting President cleTeland's flnan-
cial policy in 1898?
The fact Is. President Mckinley never
did favor the free and unlimited coinage
3 of silver at the ratio OF l6 to !. regard-.
less of'internat!onal agreement, nor the
policy OF placing this country on sill
yer basis. Garbled extracts from his
speeches OF five years ago can no. sub

such a policy. The Register, however,

Agreat deal has been published by the
Democratic papers OF the state concern
ing deficiency in the appropriations for
the state penitenliary. Some highly
Imaginative publications have been
made to the effect that the penitentlary
4 would be obliged to stop business, and
one correspondent sent broadcast over
the country the absurd story that the
convicts would have to be released on
account OF the lack OF funds. AS . rule
newspapers have too much good sense to
give place to such ridiculous news"
matter, but that doesn't seem to affect
the course OF the Democratic papers In
West Virginia that continue to give 1t
place in their columns.
The real truth Of the matter Is that the
Republican legislature which did not
appropriate sufficient money for the PEN
5itentiary should not be held responsible
for the error. 1t will be remembered
that when the legislature was in session
the Democratic state administration was
yet in office, and that the appropriations
were based upon the reports and esti-
mates OF the Democratic officials.
In the penitentiary matter the reports
from that institution, still under DEM
ocratic administration. were directly re-
eponslble for lack OF sufficient appro-
priation. 1t was represented that the
amount OF money still on hand to the
credit OF the penitentlary was $4,000.
Upon this representation the legislature
based Its appropriation. The legislature
adjourned, the new state administration
came in, and new board OF directors
for the penitentiary was appointed.
When. this board assumed its duties 1t
was not long In ascertainlng that instead
{ OF s14, 900 Of a surplus there was a def
cit OF $1,000 after all outstanding bills
were paid.
X Had there been the amount in the
treasury to the. credit OF the institution
that was represented, the appropriation
made by the legislature would have been
more than sufficient for all purposes.
However, there Is no likelihood that the
prison will be embarrassed for want OF
funds, and there Is no danger that the
convicts will be released in body be-
fore their terms expire.
