CONDITION OF AMERICAN ARMY Spaniards Would Not Have Given
 Up Had They Known TRUE STATUS OF AFFAIRS
Newspaper Reports Concerning Efi- cienoy of United States Troops May Cause Spain to Refuse
 to Evacuate Cuba Now.

Washington, October 17.-Information has
 reached the war department that a high
 officer of the Spanish army recently made
 the statement that had the Spaniards been
 aware of the condition of the American
 ships of a campaign, its lack of medical
 and other supplies and general inefflciency
 as told in the American papers, the Span
 iards would not have given up, but would
 have continued the fighting for long time
 to come, fully believing that they would
 have been able to prevent the capture of
 Santiago by American arms.
 This statement is known to have been made to the Amedican officers now in Cuba and causes some uneasiness in official cir cles, as it may mean that the Spaniards are not yet ready to surrender the island under the terms of the protocol. It is believed by officials in Washington that had it not been for the outcry against the army and the conduct of the war, that there never would have been any question raised by the Spanish commissioners regarding the Cuban debt. By those who are in position to know, it is asserted that the Madrid gov- ernment was aware that when it asked for peace and when negotiations were opened that 1t was useless to ask that the Cuban debt be taken into consideration by any commission, and that it Is only since the reports of the bad condition of the United States army has reached Madrid that the question has been raised. Another matter that causes grave consideration in the war department is the temper of the impression which now prevails there may lead them to regard the American troops of not much account and act accordingly after the occupancy by the United States. The matter has been discussed in the war de- pertinent, and it Is probable that when the troops are sent to Cuba there will be force of such size and character as to give the islanders a different impression of United States soldiers than they now en- certain. "The impression among Spaniards in Cuba" said an officer in a position to know what is going on, lis that the Ameri- can soldiers are weak and puny, incapable of withstanding hardships and whom it will be an easy matter to vanquish. The feeling may make it difficult for the Americans at first. The impression is due to the charges that have been made against the war de- partment in the past few months."

INQUEST OYER
 MOHEGAN VICTIMS One Woman's Body Was Claim
 ed by Two Families. OTHERS NOT IDENTIFIED A. S. Williams, the Company's London Manaper Said Shin Was in Finest

Falmouth, October 17.-The inquest on the victims of the Mohegan disaster began this evening. The survivors, many of them wounded and carrying their arms in slings, were obliged to ride twenty miles over the toughest roads from Falmouth.
 The coroner expressed his sympathy with the relatives, many of them from a dis tant, but kindred country" The roll of the dead was then called. One woman's body was claimed by two families Other bodies had no Identification.
 A. S. Williams, the companys London manager, testified, describing the ship as in the finest condition. He said they had had trouble with boilers on her first voyage and had withdrawn her from one trip, devoting several weeks to repairing her machinery, which was perfectly adjusted. He described the officers of the Mohegan in the highest terms, laying stress upon the absteminous- ness of Captain Griffith. 9
 A Juror: Was Captain Griffith in good health?"
 Mr Williams: II saw him just before the Mohegan started, and he seemed perfectly well then.'
 The Juror: "Is 1t not fact that he was lying. on couch most of the day?"
 MT. Williams q should be extremely sur prised to hear that. Unfortunately there is no officer of the Hohegan living. We know that they and the crew did all they could to save the passengers"
 Richard Kelly (passenger): There was not an officer on the deck when the crew were trying to get out the boats. The only officers I saw were Captain Griffiths and another on the bridge.
 Mr. Williams: T can prove that all of the officers were on deck and aiding to get out the boats."
 MT Kelly insisted that the boats were improperly arranged, being surrounded by railngs instead of swung on davits, so that they were with difficulty launched.
 MT. Williams contended that the launch- ing of four boats in twenty minutes was good work.
 The coroner adjourned the inquest for a week to secure the attendance of nautical expert representing the board of trade.
 After the adjournment MT. Kelly com plained that only members of the crew had been summoned to testify. The coroner re- piled that he would be very glad to hear the experiences of the passengers. In re- sponse, Mr. Kelly and others protested in- ability to remain for an adjourned hearing a week later, offering to testify immedi- ately. The coroner declared that this was out of the question.
 The total number of bou.es recovered up to midnight is 56.

SUCCESS IN SIGHT
 FOR DEMOCRACY Party Leaders Confident of Con- trolling Next House. ROOSEVELT LOSING GROUND ar
 Despite His Gun Powder Reputation He Will Most Likely Be Turned
 Down by the People of
 New York.
ROOSEVELT LOSING GROUND
BY ARCHIBALD w. BUTT

Washington, October 17-(Special.) )-Dem- ocratic party leaders and workers have not for four years been in as fine spirits as they now evince in Wash ngton
 At the congressional campaign commit- tees rooms numerous employees and volun- teer workers present night and day scene of the utmost activity. From every quar- ter of the country come the most cheering reports. Secretary Kerr said today the tide was rising with growing volume and nothing could stop it. Large gains are looked for in the east, which together with additions from the south and west, it is confidently believed at headquarters hero will more than reverse the present repub- lican majority. Considerable inroads upon that party are particularly predicted in New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Democrats who have been to New York from here since the campaign are enthus- -ihstic over its bold and impressive inaugur- ation by Judge Van Wyck and say that Roosevelt, despite this gunpowder reputa- tion, is losing ground every day.
 Not only was the party machinery wield- ed by Richard Croker and Tammany never in better shape, but the eminent respecta- bility of the head of the ticket, the excel- lent impression he is making and the re- volt by many republicans against the Platt machine will bring Van Wyck thousands of votes that have not been cast for demo- crat since 1892. Many thousands of in- dependent German voters, offended by re- cent republican legislation, will take occa- sion to rebuke the party and its leader, Roosevelt, whose super serviceable con- duct as one of New Yorks police commis- sioners, they remember with lasting resent" ment All these influences will contribute to democratic success in the congressional elections
 The same encouraging reports come from Pennsylvania, Secretary Kerrs state. The fight against Senator Quay, in his own par ty, is one of unparalled bitterness. He is even reported to be so desperate as to threaten that if he cannot win then a dem- ocrat should. Altogether there seems to be not a cloud over the prospect of gen. eral democratic victories three weeks from now

DIDN'T SEE MARIA TERESA.
Capt. Garvin Passed Within so Miles OF Cat

Boston. Nov. 9.-If the Spanish cruz
ser Maria Teresa is on Cat Island,
Bahamas, there was little indication of
the fact when Capt. Garvin of the
steamer Saginaw, passed there. Nov.

doned. The Saginaw sailed from Port

day. Captain Garvin said that when
Off the island ne encountered q feet of
Wreckers, or sponge fishermen, who are
constantly on the lookout for wrecks
especially after such a gale as swept
over the Bahamas during the first of
the week. If the Teresa was ashore on
the island at that time it appears that
every one of those daring fishermen
would have focked around her, within
few hours after she grounded. and
would not have gone hunting about the
ocean with such a prize so close at
hand.
