are numerous. Surgeon General Stern

St. Louis, No. July 2S.-August Grupe.
one of the foremost merchants of CUBA,
who has lived in Havana for twenty-four
years, stopped here today en- route TO
Germany on a visit. In the course Of al
interview, Mr.. Grippe said:
when I left Havana two weeks ago
the inhabitants were not in the slightest
fear that the city would be bom0arded.
In fact everything was going on the same
as usual. The theaters dancing halls
business of every character were flourish
ing, and but for the presence of troops in
the city you would never know a war was
in progress.
THE blockade at Havana has thus far
not proved very effective. The farms
around the city furnish all the supplies
necessary. The soil is so fertile that crops
can be produced in thirty days. There IS
no scarcity of provisions in Havana, nor
has there been any perceptble advance
In the price of food.
There are 10000 regular soldiers and
5000 volunteers in the city. About 5000
men are working night and day strength

TESTING The WAFER

Chickamauga, July 2S.-General Boyton
chairman of the electromagnetic
noogo Fsrk commission, is having an ana
lysis prepared for the water used here.
This is being done in order that the troops
may know just what sort of water they
are drinking. General Boynton has no
doubt as to the pure quality of the water
from the wells, the creeks and springs,
and he believes the analysis will show, as
has ben demonstrated heretofore by two
or three analysis that all water from what
ever source at Camp Thomas is chemically
and microscopically pure. General Boyn-
ton is having the surface springs mite

against annexation. II was cam.
paign to the death, and one rcmeu-
bers that on Nav 10th of last year,
out of thirteen leading articles, no less
than six were directed against ll1-

But now the tone is quite different
The Argonaut of Jun. 20. 1898, and
of many issues before IT, is quite in
favor of annexation. 1t speaks os
follows
"There is an annexation majority
in the Senate, but there will be bitter
opposition there, ANA as there is no
way of cutting off debate in The SEN
ate, it may be protrac;cd. But with
the war upon us, we do OF see why
the opponents of annexation should
continue their useless opposition.
We believe now in TAX
ing it (Hawaii) forcibly, if need he,
and we hope President Mckinley will
do so if the Senate proves obstinate"
When The Star was commenting up
on the attitude of the Argonaut last
year it suggested that the paper was
charging so much for space. 1t looks
very much as if the funds which ami
mated the attacks upon annexation
had come to an end, and the Argo-
naut was free to express its true opin-
ions

The German-American press, which
at the outset of the war, passed some
unfavorable comments upon the sit
uation, has swung into loyal line and
is laboring hard to prove to the Ger
mans on the other side of the Allan
tic the justice of the present war. As
a body the German papers published
in America are much displeased that
the people of Germany do not side
with America now that the war has
begun. The different papers take
various lines to explain the attitude
ing the effort, a large number put it
down to jealousy of England.

THE BACK SUMMERSAULT.

The change in the attitude of the
Argonaut towards the annexation
question has amused people down
here, and has called forth consider
able comment among papers abroad.
A while ago the Argonaut would have
none of annexation, it was an unholy
thing, it was anathema maranatha
1t would bring sin and disease and
death upon the spotless city of San
Francisco, it would sully the lily robes
of Grant avenue and make the Poodle
Dog shudder.
As for a strategic position it was
most heartily laughed to scorn. Pearl

SPANISH METHODS.

A number of British merchants,
whose interests lie in the Philippine
Islands, according to published ac
counts, have been interviewing Am
bassador Hay in London. Their OBJ
ject was to urge upon him to make
representations to his government of
their desire that the United States
should retain permanent possession of
the said Islands. These gentlemen,
however, requested that their names
should be withheld from the public,
because, should the Islands remain
under Spanish sovereignty, the ruling
class would make the trade conditions
so burdensome for anyone on record
as desiring change, that they would
be practically ruined. The Spanish
must be truly delightful government
to live under.
These merchants and capitalists
pointed out to Ambassador Hay that
with the guarantee of stable gov
eminent the Philippine Islands would
become far richer than Cuba. Under
the Spanish rule the Islands will new
er be properly developed, and this is
an undoubted fact, for after an occu-
patton of over four hundred years,
there are many parts of the Islands
which the Spanish have never pene-
trated into, while the agricultural
methods are crude, and the mineral
wealth is neglected. The Spanish
rule discourages business enterprises
and repels capital. In order to carry
on business in Manila brides direct
and indirect have to be distributed
with liberal hand among the Span
ish officials who come out from
Spain to acquire large fortune in the
shortest possible time.
Besides these eXactions which do
not appear on the surface the regular
imposts are heavy. Reference was
made to these in the columns of The
Star last week. There is not only the
regular duty, but there is so much
per cent on landing cargo, additional
extra tax on cargo, permits to move
cargo and 50 forth, which simply are
endless, and the levying of which
give opportunities for the officials to
accept brides.
Not only do the people of the Phil
ippines groan under the tyranny of
the heavy taxes of the civil govern
ment, but the various Spanish relig-
ious orders levy upon the population
both for the support of the priests act
ually among Them and also for large
sums which are RENTED to the par
ent houses in the peninsula. The
present uprising, it is stated, was as
much against the church as it was
against the government.
What a picture of misrule is here
presented by men who have lived in
the Philippines and who have large
business interests there. The touch
of the magic wand of freedom which
the battle ships and transports of the
United States bear to the Islands,
will make all this mass of corruption
crumble into dust and give in its
place noble institutions and an I'M
trammelled trade. 1t is a noble work
= that the United States is doing 1t is
bearing the torch of nineteenth centu-
ry advancement into the dark places
of the earth, and it has sent the flow
er of its rising population to take
part in the task.
