thousand seven hundred of the sailors and
marines who survived the disaster which
befell the war ships of Admiral Pescual
Cervera at Santiago on July 8, including the
admiral and his staff embarked on the
steamship City OF Rome this morning. Adj
nraI Cervera, with his son Angel made
farewell visits to the offices of the navy

Rome. On his way to the boat the admiral
spoke enthusiastically to those who accom-
panied him of the treatment the Americans

NOT CHRISTIAN ADVICE.

religious paper in New York, the Chris
tan at Work, makes surprising demand
that the United States Immediately send
its war ships to Constantinople and collect
the 100000 Turkey owes us at the muzzles
of SIMPSONS guns. 1t declares that the
whole American people would approve If
our fleet should be sent to force our just
claims upon the Turk. Perhaps the editor
of the Christian at Work has been reading
of the demand which Austria made two or
three years ago with ships, which was said
to have been needed
Things have changed in Turkey in two
years. Since the trouble with Greece the
Sultan has learned that Turkey is well-nigh
a first-class power 1t has not much of
navy, but could put 100000 troops in the
field in ten weeks, and can mobilize a mil
lion in three months. To lombard Constan-
tinople would not insure payment even if
we were able to do it. Turkey, backed by
its vast army might and probably would
decline to pay. In that case we would
either be compelled to retire ANONYMOUSLY
or engage in war with Turkey on its own
soil. Is the United States prepared to go
to war with country which can put mil
lion soldiers into the feld-soldiers who
have been famous for centuries for their
ferocity in battle? Are the people of the
United States ready to send hundreds of
thousands of their sons to fight such foe
as Turkey, nearly 5000 miles distant? We
have not yet finished with Spain.
We do not believe that the country will
accept the advice of the Christian at Work
as to the method to collect 100000. the dam
age to American citizens by Turks while
fighting the Armenians. If the mass Of the
American people were to make answer to
the Christian at Work it would be that
Turkey is no place for American citizens
Some of the American citizens who are al
ways asking the United States to protect
their property in srch countries ere Amer
less some of them are missionaries-well-
meaning but illogical people, since they
cannot convert a Turk, and the Armenians
are Christians of a sort and the sharpest
traders in all that country. May we not
hope that son etme it will become the pol
icy of this country not to naturalize for
eigners who make their homes as American
citizens in their native lands. They are
naturalized in order to escape military or
other duties at home and to enjoy the pro-
lection of nationality to which they rem
der no return either in Sc rvice or taxation

In the current issue of the Forum Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury VANDERBILT
under the caption, Lessons of Our War
Loan" tells the story of the recent finan-
cial achievement of the treasury in placing
$2OO.OOO,000 of per cent. bonds. Mr.. Wander
lip declares that the United States has
foated a $500, 900 loan at the lowest rate
of interest at which a nation ever disposed
of its obligations in time of war" The his
tory of the transaction is very interesting
The government wanted but $500 600, CO. but
it had offers aggregating 81, 10000. That
is seven dollars were subscribed where one
was asked for. Nor were these bonds sub
scribed for by foreigners, but by citizens
of the United States living in the
United States. The law making the
loan popular one required that those sub
scribing for $40 should have the first call.
For $40 bonds there were 10000 subscribers
Again. no person asking for over $500
got cent of the loan. More than half the
loan went to 10000 persons. If all the sub
scribers had sent money with their SUBJ
scriptions they would have sent three times
the cash held by all the national banks of
the country. In other words, if all the SUBJ
scribers had sent money with their SUBJ
scriptions they would have sent seven
tenths Of the money in circulation. AS it
was. more than 500 100000 was sent and
turned into the treasury before bond was
issued. And while this vast amount of mon
ey was being handled the rate of discount
in the New York money market was not
affected in the slightest degree
There are many interesting facts like the
foregoing connected with the placing of the
popular loan. These however, are ample to
make it financial achievement without
parallel in the world. Indeed, it may be
doubted if there is another government
which would be offered a loan of 81 400, 0OO,-
600 in few weeks at per cent. interest
1t is doubtful if even Great Britain has a
higher credit, or if any government could
hire as much money to-day at so low a
rate of interest. This is due TO the fact
that the majority Of the people have be-
lieved in redeeming the public obligations
in the money of the world. 1t is due to the
fact that when the Republican party came
into power as a debt-paying party the first
act of General Grant was to ask Congress
to declare that the obligations of the coun-
try should be paid in the coin of the world
Then, as now, there was a party or clique
opposing such payment. but it has been
beaten time and again after it has destroyed
confidence and led the country to the brink
of diSaSf

WILL DISCUSS MONEY
GOLDITES AND SILvERITEs TO BAT

National Convention of Currency Agi-
e. ". SmalIey and c. A. TOwne.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept 12-The national
currency convention will open at the exposi-
ton tomorrow morning and is to continue
three days. E. V. Smalley editor of the
Northwest Magazine, of st. Paul. and also
editor of Sound Money, a periodical pub
lished at Chicago under the auspices of the
National Sound Money League, of which
he is the secretary, with headquarters at
Chicago, came in yesterday and secured
quarters at the Willard Hotel. The silver
ties who have arrived are ex-Congressman

George Fred Williams. Of Boston, and H
F. Bartine, of Washington: Congressman
Charles S. Hartman, of Dakota Fred ".
Dubois, of Idaho; Arson Wolcott of VOL

cut. J. Sterling Morton. of Nebraska City,
and Horace White, of New York, and H.
p. Robinson, of Chicago came in this even
ing. Gen. A. ]. Warner of Ohio, and 9TH
ers are expected on the morning trains.
There is much interest in the conference
among the men who have been asked to
take part in the debate Discussing the con-
vention and the money question generally.
Mr.. Smalley said THE fact Of the matter
is that the agitation of the money question
is simply a correlative of hard times. Now,
that the country is enjoying universal pros
perity the money question, as an issue. has
died out. 1t is only the politicians who are
trying to make 1t an issue 1t would not
have been heard but that all of the Demo-
cratic conventions of the States west of
Chicago, for the want of an issue of some
kind, reaffirmed the Chicago platform. We
anticipated that they would try to make
an issue of it and so we thought this con-
vention would be timely and of great edu-
cational benefit to the country. 1t would
give all sides a chance to be heard and in
this respect the convention will be unique
for there has never before been national
monetary conference in the country at
which all the conflicting sides were repre-
sented that at indianapolis having been
distinctly sound-money conference"
Mr.. Towne, of course, sees another side to
the matter. He has just been to Colorado,
where, he says, he had to depose Chairman
Richard Broad and Secretary William r.
Freeman from their positions at the head
of the state central committee of the Silver
Republican party in that State because of
their having been influenced by the gold
standard people. He also charges the ad-
vocates of the gold standard with being
responsible for the recent attempt at Colo
RADIO Springs to capture a silverite conven-
ton at which one of the disturbers was
killed. THE silver forces are uniting in al
most every State" he said

CAPTURED BY NATIVES
CAROLINE GROUP OF ISLANDS PROB
ABLY WRESTED FROM SPAIN.
Garrison at POnape Supposed to Have
Been Slain by Rebels, Who At
tackled the Place in Force.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12.-The Caro-
line group of islands, which belong to
Spain, is undoubtedly by this time in the
hands of the natives of the group, with
the Spanish garrison wiped out. News of a
revolution in the islands reached this city
in letters from Honolulu by the steamer
Coptic. The story was borne to Honolulu
by trading schooner which touched at the
Carolines. Two native kings of the group,
who had long been at war with each other,
some months ago declared a truce, COM
bined their forces and began a war against
the Spanish authorities. The Spaniards
were concentrated at Ponape and it was
here that the natives made their attack.
The blacks fought with white Spanish and
in such numbers that the Spaniards were
compelled to retreat and take shelter in the
barracks, which they held. The gunboat
Quiros was then dispatched to Guam for
aid but arriving there found the Ameri-
can flag floating. The Quiros never re-
turned and at zap, in the Caroline group,
it was thought she was lost. The suppose
ton is that the Ladrone garrison of Ameri-
cans had possession of her. There were
200 soldiers in Ponape town, but these were
poorly supplied with ammunition and in no
position to resist a prolonged attack. The
belief Is that the place was captured and
the Spanish garrison slain. The entire
group, unless the SpaniardS made an unex-
pected stand, must be by this time in the
possession of the natives.
This story is confirmed by James Wilder,
of Honolulu, who recently returned to Ha-
wall from a tour in the CarolineS. He said
at that time the natives were much discon-
tented and were preparing for a revolt.

you for the extraordinary success with
which you supplied the corps with doctors,

unloOked-for places. You humanely re-

you"

Flood Causes u Railway Accident and
Death of School Teacher.

TEXARKANA, Tex, Sept. 12.-About noon
yesterday rain began falling here and con-
tinued for thirty hours, the country adj
jacent to Texarkana being flooded. Sui
phur river rose twelve feet last night All
trains entering Texarkana have been de-
layed on account of washouts, especially in
Louisiana and Texas south and west of
here. Passenger train No. 4 on the Texas
q Pacific Railroad lies in three to six feet
of water near Buchanan, twelve miles
south. 1t was late and running at a high
rate of speed when it switched around a
curve into a washout on a feeding spur to
Sulphur river. The trestle work and sew
eral hundred feet of track were gone, and
the engine, mail, baggage, express and
smoking cars went into the water Prof.
Caldwell a colored school teacher of Queen
City, Tex, was crushed to death in the for
ward end of the smoker, while j. E. Goth

Those who deny that the volume of money
and paper representing money which flows
through the banks is fair indication of the
volume of business at any period cannot
say that the volume of traffic over railways
is not sure indication of the condition of
the business of the country. If there are
large shipments, large consumption and ac
tive business are certain to exist, while the
shrinkage of trains means the shrinkage of
business. Upon the basis of railway car
rage the country was never more prosper
Gus than at present. The Financial Chron-
icle has recently made a statement of the
gross earnings of 22S railroads, operating
164, 161 miles, from Jan. to June 80. showing
that it amounts to S567 .053 ,205, against $780,
O2O, S73 for the corresponding months of 1897.
This is net increase of SCI, 102, 72S, or over
u per cent. The net increase of earnings
makes better showing for the reason that
the fixed charges are the same for a large
as a small volume of business. The in
crease of net earnings on 1S6 roads was
ST.. S20, SOS, or 141S per cent.
