DENLY Says to Keep Them.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Sept. 49,
Charles DENLY, former minister OF
the United States to China, arrived
here yesterday from Peking, and
paid his respects to the president.
On leaving the white house Mr..
DENLY in answer to inquiries, said
that in his judgment the United
States should retain permanent pos
session Of all or practically all oil

der them to Spain would be only tc
invite a controversy and possibly
war among the European nations
for their possession, and if the Uni
ted States is to make an effort t.
secure any considerable portion 0
the markets of the far east thu
Philippines would be Of very grea
advantage to US.

Ny Dear Sir:-Ycur kind not
OF the fifth inst, is received. am
not disturbed by the criticism OF
the Ohio State Journal. 1t is mis-
taken in the cause Of my earnest in

the battle of Santiago. Nor is il
true that | am influenced by Gen.
Miles, whom | have not e Tor

this was caused by gross neglect
and delay of officers Of the war de-
partment. | hope this will not oc-
cur again. Very truly yours,

ment at Montauk Point, and am
sorry to say that l found only 2C
men of my company that we're able
for duty. l left it when wounded
in Cuba, with "a strong men, and IN
two months find it with only 20.

sure enough. Those | did find
were about half sick, and look like
living skel stons. 1t is a pitiful
sight to visit the hospital, but they
are improving very fast now that we
have a good camp. The boys told
me that it has been awful hot here ;
said the thermometer re glstered 6l :
on the ice wagon, and that the mos
cutters we're as large as butterflies
but since the cold snap has set IN
the mosquitoes have gone back to
Cuba, and l guess they will be snr
prised to find the Spaniards al
gone, and what great fighters they
have been fooling with us at Mon
tauk Point.
Well, since | got back | didn''
find hard tack and bacon, bul
| found beef, light bread, coffee anc
milk, the old army bean. tomatoes
and lots of onod things which made
me think the war was about over
Lots of the boys are going home,
and there is talk of US being sent
back to our post at Spokane

is that we will be sent to Cuba, but
cannot say for certain. !.

We were informed by a promi'
nent citizen Of this place that no,
fewer than six different women
came to his place Of business in
curing what they should do with
their drunken husbands. 1t is ar
obvious fact that a greater number
OF drunken sots may be seen on the
streets Of Petersburg than in any
other town Of its size in the state,
Many Of the inebriates Of this place
depend on their wives to make
living for their families. The reas
on there is so much drunkenness
here is because the officers do no
do their duty. This is a pretty
serious charge, but the Press is fully
justified in saying that staggering
drunk men are allowed to wall
along our streets in the presence o
our town marshal and not be ar
rested. Women and children ar
at the mercy Of the baneful inhu
ence of these wretched sots. d.
not the good people Of Petersburg
have something to move them?-

he seemed to think that dividing
