YANKEE SPANISH.

ONE of the most appalling feat
 ures of the present war with Spain is the way in which the Spanish language is butchered and misre- presented by American newspaper correspondents and editors. For instance there is the little village
 La Guasima, near Santiago, near which occurred one of the most severe and bloo6y fights of the recent campaign and investment of that city. Within few weeks the name has ranged in print from La Guasima' to "Quassinar, and THE OASIS r .oted 1t spelled "Guasima, "Guasino." Guar sima, La Quasima, La Quarsima," and "Quarsinar, ' with several capable correspondents and editors yet to hear from. Numer- ous other instances can be cited. But the most ridiculous display of ignorance was recently made by San Francisco paper, which grav- ely informed its readers that the battle cry of the Filipinos "Hasta la Muerte" (until death") means Death to the Spaniards." Really such butchery of their tongue should entitle the Spanish to claim for indemnity.

The fact seems to be that the general officers who committed this gross breach of military discipline at Santiago had lost their heads and did not know what they were about, thereby showing themselves utterly unfitted for high military command. General Shatter has likewise dem onstrated his own incapacity by neglecting to order under arrest each and every officer who signed that communication and send them before court martial upon charges of insubordination and mutiny in the face of the enemy and treason. That is what Grant or Lee, Sher- man or Longstreet, Sheridan or Joseph E. Johnson would have done. It is not LOO late to do it yet, and as lasting example to the general officers of the United States army it should be done inn mediately

NEW MEXICO. August 8, 1898. To the Editor of TIE OASIS:
 On July l6th you Gaoted an artie.e from nay paper regarding the reluc- tance the native Mexicans exhibit in enlisting for the war with Spain. In that article were two references to priests of the Catholic church. The references were to the effect that cer- tain of them were preaching against the United States, and telling people that Spain was their native country, and that they ought to fight for Spain.
 In your issue of August 9th you have letter from T. K. Galligan commenting on the article, which says that it 'bears the ear marks of an A. P. A. polecat, and is redolent

IN the entire history of war there has been never before presented the splendid spectacle of victori- ous nation paroling the rank and file of a defeated army and sending them across the sea to their homes without expense to themselves. Uncle Sam is surely leading the nations up to higher and more Christian civilization.

IN THE list of deaths daily trans mitted from Santiago, it is noted that none of the Arizona boys sue cumb to the diseases which are so fatal te the soldiers from the east ern and northern states. Their experience in ''thesuu kissed land. :" with the chuck" supplied by Chinese restaurants has so accus- toned them to poor grub that any thing ill the way of rations that Uncie Sam can run them up against in Cuba, has no terror whatever.

a REwaRKABLE DISPLAY.

'
 occurring in military history, closely
 bordering upon mutiny in the face
 of the enemy, was presented at San
 tiago last week, when eight general
 officers, two division and six brig
 ade commanders united in round
 robin" to the major general com
 handing, in which they united in a
 demand that the army be removed
 from Cuba to the United States on
 account of sanitary reasons. The
 significance of the offense will be
 more clearly realized when it is re-
 called that two division command
 CTS Generals Lawton and Wheeler
 and at least six brigade con-
 manders refrained from signing the
 document. No one will for mo-
 ment believe that officers so distin-
 guished and capable as Lawton and
 Wheeler would have declined ex- pressing an opinion in so grave a
 matter in any situation.
 To make the matter all the worse the offending commanders gave to the press correspondents for trans mission to the United States, copies of their illumination before transmit ting it to General Shafer, for whom 1t was intended. It was also doubtless, wired to Kingston. Ia- maica. thence to Europe, and was probably known in Madrid as soon { asin Washington. Its effect there might be to make the Spanish cabinet more stiff-necked in refusing President McKinley's preliminary conditions to discussing a treaty of peace. through hope to recon quer Santiago by d>cimation of the American army now holding the place from the epidemic those gene rals intimated was threatened. That phase of the action taken looks very much like giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States, which the federal defines as "treason. p
 When it is known that the gov- erument at Washington was strain ing every nerve to do exactly what was demanded by the commanders now under criticism, the unwisdom md folly Of their arbitrary action more strongly accentuated; md when 1t is recalled that the per ,entage of deaths at Santiago is no greater than in the camps near Washington and Chickamauga, the oi the communication itands out in cold relief Another eature of the matter is the effect of he communication upon the men. Under adverse circumstances there s nothing so encouraging to sol Hers as to see their commanders .heerful and confident. Under no will a really capable commander snow his men that he $ dubious or lacks confidence. By - continual display of a cheerful t .,.r:A ...n.... ........a..da..

M'KINLEY is WORRIED
By Senate's Tendency to Eliminate
Bond Feature of the Revenue
Bill

Washington, May 7.-Besides the war
situation in its general aspect, there
was some discussion of the relative
merits of persons seeking brigadier gen
eraIships and other commissions in the
army at yesterdays cabinet meeting.
The president expressed htmSelt very
pronouncedly as opposed to the APP
pointment to such responsible positions
of those who have had no military ex-
perience.
One feature of the session was dis
cussion of the attitude of the senate in
providing the ''sinews of war; for de-
fraying the expenditures of the war
The president has received positive IN
formation that the senate committee
on finance which is still struggling with
the war revenue bill, will report that
measure with the bond feature ehm1n-
ated. This fact is causing the admin
istration great uneasinesS and embar-
raSsment and the statement is maze
that the possibility of adverse action IN
the full body of the senate is a source
of much anxiety The president laid
before the cabinet the information ne
had as to what is to be looked for from
the senate, and while not expressing ap-
solute confidence in favorable action by
the senate with the bond feature re-
Incorporated, expressed the nope that
there would be satisfactory majority
for the bond provision
Should it not become part OF the
law, many urgent preparations Tor the
war will have to be held back. the
1 money TO De secured 1TOIu DOIAOo SoAOo'
it is reported. is needed 1mperatively
for the execution of the plans mapped
out, and adverse action by the senate
would be likely to interfere unless the
money is otherwise provided and by as
speedy method as the issuance of bonds.
The administration is anxious to i'm
press this fact upon the congress, in or
der that ample revenues may be at
hand for a vigorous prosecution of the
war. There was considerable gratif1-
cation evident at the session at the gen.
eraI war lookout There was a strong
belief that the Spanish fleet, instead of
sailing across the seas to intercept the
Oregon or to come over into the waters
near home to begin operations, would be
found eventually to be now progress
sing from some point closer its own
possessions on the other side of the
| ocean. While there is great reliance
on the part of all the members of the
| administration on this subject there is
| authority for the statement that the
| instructions of Admiral Sampson give
him great latitude.

SHORT CUT FOR SPAIN
If She Desires to Retake the Philip
pines.

pines
New York, May IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
If Spain desires to send a fleet to the
Philippines to attack Commodore Dew
ey's forces she is at perfect liberty to
send it through the Suez canal, was the
statement made by a high official of the
state department.
No acts of hostility are to be COM
mitted either in the canal itself or in
the sea to a distance of three miles from
either end Of it.
The entrances are not to be block
AIDED. The stay of belligerent vessels
of war or their prizes within the ports
at either end is not to exceed twenty
four hours, and belIigerents are not to
embark troops or munitiOn of war with
in the canal or its ports.
by using the Suez canal, SPANS
vessels will be compelled to go only
1900 miles to reach Manila. The steam
ing radius of the Almirante OQuendo,
Vizcaya and Infante Maria Teresa is
300 miles, going at the rate of ten
knots, and they, therefore, could go the
entire distance without recoaling. If
necessary, they could take golfers
along. None of Commodore Dewey's
vessels has such a great Steaming ra-
dius, and if they should be sent to the
Mediterranean they would have to take
Golfers along and might be caught
without coal in that sea-
None of the members of the war
board believes for an instant that Spain
will attempt to retake the Philippines,
notwithstanding the Suez canal is open
to her fleets. 1t was pointed out by
an expert with whom talked that the
withdrawal of a sufficient force from
the Atlantic to attempt the re-capture
of the Philippines would place not only
Cuba and Porto Rico, but the CanarieS
and Spain itself at the mercy of the
American warships on this coast.
1t was more probable, he said, that
the United States would send ships
from the Pacific through the Suez canal
to the Mediterranean to attack SPANS
coast than it would be for the Madrid
government to order it's ships tosre-take
he thought decidedly remote.
"Of course he continued, 1.-The seri-
Gus question of coal supply would
greatly harass her, but if the Ameri-
can dealers can find vessels willing to
take the risk of violating the neutrality
laws of the nation in which their coal
piles are located they will probably be
willing to do the same thing for the
Spaniards, provided the latter pay the
necessary cash.
Il doubt very much If this govern
ment would direct Commodore Dewey's
force to leave Manila and proceed to
the Mediterranean for the purpose OF
harassing Spanish commerce in that
sea and of attacking Spanish ports
which lie upon it, but it would be pos
sible for American men of war to
reach the Mediterranean through the
Suez canal if they were ordered to do
so.
There is a great deal of popular ig-
norance on this point. AS a matter
of fact, the Suez canal is open to bel
1igerentS."

Fate of Major Smith, Captured
by Spaniards in Cuba.

New York, May IA special to the
World from Tampa says:
A telegram to General Lacreet gives the
information that Major Smith, who on
April "a landed at Caibarien to escort a
party of newspaper correspondents TO
General Gomez's camp, has been captured
by the Spaniards and killed.
The message was signed by a Cuban Of
ffcer named Lorenez: He has been with
Captain Dorst of the Fourth cavalry,
who with two other officers, was sent by
General Miles to confer with the 1nsur-
gents.
Captain Dorst reached America today
and is due in Tampa late tonight, en- route
to washington, where he will lay before
the president and his advisers the infor-
nation gained.
The telegram regarding Smith IS pr1er.
It simply saws that when his captorS dis
covered his identity and nationality they
The news is regarded as authentic.
Nothing is said of the newspaper men
