The Spanish populace at Yigo,
which PLACE is Gen. Torars home,
tried to mob him when they saw the
soldiers who came from Santiago
were without shoes and clothing and
were emaclated. 1t is a pity but
what some Of our people would do
those who are responsible for the
mismauagement Of the war in the
United States, There was some eX-
cuse for those soldiers under TOTAL
to be without supplies, for he had
only bankrupt country to draw
from, and was in bockaded terri
tory, But 1t was only gross negl-
gence and cussed meauaess that is

EAST SIDE COURT.
Several Cases Of Vagrancy and Two
for Fighting,

Recorder Murphy, Attorney
Solinsky and Marshal Casey held
quite leYee this morning at the
city court,
1t seems that the hotels and
lodging houses we're all crowded
last night and the overplus Of trav
elers and wayfarers who hit the
grit here, were unable to get ac-
commodatio1, or at least they did
not, but utilized the box cars in the
Iron Mountain yards for a roosting
place, and when the vigilant officers
went on their rounds found the
following parties
W. R. Kerr, E. H. Berry, Ben
Fountain, l. c. O'Shea and Tim
Raden, all white, and John Maulin,
coored. They were taken in
charge by the officers and regis
tered at Hotel de Hobo with vag
placed opposite each name, and
this morning as each name was call
ed Recorder Murphy asked each
one for a plea and they all answer
ed guilty and we're fined one dollar
and costs.
The white men were all well
dressed and why they are not at
work is hard to understand. The
Recorder gave them the choice of
paying the money $3.50 in each
case or work the fine out on the
street.
The next cases we're that of two
young Colored women named Mamie
White and Leila fairfield, who
were charged with disturbing the
peace. The evidence was sufficient
to fine them $25 and cost. They
we're committed to jail in default OF
payment
Jim Johnson, a tough looking
mulatto was up for cursing and
abusing an officer He denied his
guilt, but was fined five dollars and
cost and will work it out on the
chain gang.

Cuba and Cubans are discussing
whether or not they want annexa-
tion or not. When the time comes
for a settlement of that question,
we will probably consult the wishes
of only the best Cuban element,
which may result in giving them a
trial at self-government, Little
faith, though, is put in Cuban abil-
ity to rule Cuba. Then the United
States will take hand; no fears are
entertained by any one as to our
ability to rule; nor will there ever
be, either in the Philippines or any
other part of the world we take a
trial at.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1898-09-19

The reporter paid a visit to Rose
Hill yesterday, and visited several
new cottages of splendid construc-
tion being erected on the grounds
used by Ringlin's circus when he
showed here last. 1t will soon be
that show carrying any kind of
spread of canvass will have to show
out at Spring Lake Park, or at
some place at distance from the
city. The old Nix field which an
swered exhibition purposes so long
here, is no more, having been
bought up by our monied men and
converted into building lots, and
now where the clown used to dance
and the steam calliope in ear pierc-
ing toots summoned the people to
the tent of the big show exhibiting
on these grounds, rises many fine
two story houses, and the entire
space is filed with houses streets
and alleys, with a water works and
sewerage system underlying the
surface of the ground. Now our
West Side sister city with its eX-
cellent show grounds on the hill, is
following smt by building on the
grounds, We will begin to beIieye
after awhile that a circus tent
spread on piece of ground brings
luck to its owner.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1898-09-19
CONDUCT OF THE WAR.

The treatment received by our
sick and wounded soldiers in Cuba,
Porto Rico and in the camps of this
country reflect no credit Oh the war
department. While allowing Alger
all the credit to which he is entit-
led. the fact remains that the med
ical, the commisary and quarter
masters staff were fearfully def
cient.
While the secretary of war, being
at the head of these departments.
is held responsible for the conduct
of the officers under him, he isl
blameless for a great deal that is
charged against him. 1t may be
that many of the staff appoint
ments we're made on the approval
and recommendation of the secre-
tary, but the great majority Of
them were made by the president,
either through favoritism, members
Of congress or political friends.
The army staff, whatever inlu-
ences suggested or caused It's ap-
pointments, has been a disappoint-
meut. To it the sickness and
death of many soldiers can be cred
tied. Too many young doctors, too
many young and inexperienced
commissary aud quartermaster APP
pointments-in other words,
too many staff appointments Of
young and inexperienced men were
made.
No government was ever better
prepared to care for its soldiers
than the United States. There
was unlimited means to be had. 1t
was voted by congress for this par
ticular purpose, But there seems
to have been a lack of brains to
utilize it.
While the Gazette is 10th to criti-
else him it must say that General
IShafter's campaign against San
tiago partakes somewhat of opera
