The coming Congress has a task
upon its hands. determining how our
new possessions shall be governed or
controlled. Spain Is losing all hope Of
holding the Philippines. Our Govern
ment must at least preserve order
there until new government Is e.
tablished. This should be done by an
American Congress which will be i'm
PEELED to American interests, and the
sanctity of our flag.

DEMOCRATS FOR STANLEY.
A Well Known Lawyer Tell why They WIN
Vote for the Republican
Candidate

Fred w. Bentley, the democratic
lawyer of Wichita, in an interview
with the Eagle, gives his reasons for
thinking that every democrat in Kan
sas should support W. t. Stanley for
governor:
II do not care TO be interviewed, "
said Mr.. Bentley, but in regard TO
the statements already imputed TO me
j will say, in justice TO myself and To
Mr.. Stanley, that Stanley is a great
lawyer, the leader of our bar ! was
taught when a boy, as Ii matter of
politics, TO never pull h man down. II
anyone above me is in my way, the
way TO get him out is TO push him up,
not to pull him down. don't think
any member OF the Wichita bar will
vote for Stanley simply to retire him
from the practice. Dave Leahy say ing
will vote for Stanley TO get part OF
his practice is one OF his jokes.
''As a democrat, ] believe the
straight populist ticket should be
beaten until their organization is de-
stroyed and everyone of that party
who believes In the principles of Ham.
iiton becomes a repu blican aristocrat
and everyone who believes in the prin.
ciples of Jefferson becomes a demo
cratic commoner ! was in the first
fusion with the populists We fused
with them for the purpose of leading
them into the democratic party. They
don't lead. We find ourselves corrale6
in their pasture with their political
trocha around us after ten years-vot
ing at our primaries, running our con
ventions, leading us. To defeat then
is to cut their fences, ruin their sepa
rate organization. II we don't they
will ruin ours. For these reasons
shall vote for Stanley"

DISPOSITION OF WAR PRISONERS.


Washington, Aug. 2O,-Retrench-
ment in nearly all branches of the
army is following close upon the ces-
sation of hostilites, Notably is this
the case in the ordnance, quartermas-
ter and engineer bureaus, where the
need for the supplies required and the
men employed for the eXigencies of
war no longer exists. In the ordnance
bureau the force at the various arse
mails is to be reduced in all cases where
this can be accomplished without det-
riment to the service. The Rock Island
arsenal probably will be affected more
than any other. There before the war
about 240 men were employed. When

are coming in from all directions of
outrages committed within the Span
ish lines Doubtless many Of these
are exaggerated, but the rumors OF
massacre at GALES are confirmed.
Some of the natives there took refuge
in the belfry of the cathedral and
fred on the Spanish troops, but they
were overpowered and macheted to
the number of so. The natives show
disposition to prosecute the Span
ish residents and several minor
riots have occurred here. At Yauco
last night the natives threw stones
and bricks into Spanish shops in re-
taliation for outrages committed with
in the Spanish lines. The military
have been ordered TO suppress these
demonstrations and punish the Offend
ers. Gen. Miles and staff went to Gen.
Wilson's headquarters at the front yes

DISORDER IN SANTIAGO.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 10. -Yester-
day morning Gen. Wood, military gov
ernor of Santiago, increased the local
police force with additions from vari-
Gus regiments. There has been some
trouble from soldiers who have DISC
beyed orders and there have been some
threats, several street fights, at least
one murder and good deal of drunk
enness, so that an exceptionally large
force is necessary to preserve order
Yesterday morning the Eighth Illinois
volunteers (colored) entered upon pa
troll duty. The First fantry left yes
terday by the Miller. There are seven
Spanish transports in the harbor
awaiting the embarkation of Spanish
troops, of whom more than 1000 left
yesterday. The general appearance
of the men is pitiful. There has been
much sickness among them and within
the last two days over 200 bodies have
been buried. The death rate in the
city is about 20 per day. The heavy
rains increase the fever among the sol
diers and the inhabitants alike.

Chicago Aug. 23.--A dispatch 10 the
Inter Ocean from Manila says: Aguin-
aldo, the insurgent leader, has been
in an ugly mood since the capitula-
ton and was at first inclined To carry
his hostilities TO the point of an open
rupture. He holds the waterworks
and has cut OFF the supply, but Gen.
Merritt said TO the Inter Ocean corre-
spondent that the situation had been
practically settled, Aguinaldo accept
ing the American conditions. AT the
outset Aguinaldo made eight demands
of the Americans, as follows:
First, that the Filipinos withdraw
only 30 certain limits; second, that
they retain city converts; third, that
the Americans control only the city;
fourth, that Gen. Merritt consult with
him regarding the civil appointments;
fifth, that the Fllipinos have the right
to enter the river and harbOr; sixth,
that the Americans return the FIiipi-
nos arms; seventh, that the Ameri-
cans be con fined 10 the city; eighth,
that the Fi!ipinos have the right "
enter the city armed.
Gen. Merritt sent verbal reply TO
these demands, but Agninaldo was
away. The messenger returned after

chief had agreed TO our terms and
that the waterworks would De SUR

here are anxious for the Ameri-

and many Spaniards believe that this
would be the best solution of the
problem. They say that business will

that formerly prevailed here and that
the Filipinos would not be able To

Aguinaldo represents only small
fraction of the natives and trouble

the Spaniards heard that hostilities
had closed on August 10, before the
capitalization, they raised the question
Of the American status in Manila. The
matter was referred to Washington
for decision.
