THE SKATER TARIFF.
Report from the GeneraI-No Ships
Turned Away.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 27.-The
War Department to-day made public the
following dispatch, received from General
Shafter, in response to a query by the
department as to ships being turned away
from Santiago:
Santiago via Haiti, July 2s-12I7 A..
M.-Adjutant- General United States
Army. Washington: Press reports not
true. I only know of three ships having
arrived--one from Kingston, the others
from the United States. The Bratton
has sold it's cargo; one of the others, a
ship from New Orleans, has sold only a
part Of it. and tells me he is going away
tonight. 1 think he will sell before he
leaves. The trouble is, they did not ex-
pect to pay any duty. and arrived here,
without money. Only the Spanish GUS
toms, as applied to Spanish subjects, has
been collected, and tie 20 cents per ton,
as ordered by the Secretary.
II discovered this morning an attempt
on the part of the municipal authorities
to collect local tax OF 40 cents per 100
kilos, in this instance amounting to
$3.50. l had already settled this matter
by ordering its non-collection.
NO MONEY FOR BUSINESS.
THE fact is, there is no money here
with which to do business. and merchants
are very timid about making purchases,
fearing the effect of the Red Cross sup
plies, which really are feeding the town.
'"The New Orleans man. for instance
brought 20 head of cattle, which he sold
at SIS per head. The person buying kills
one a day. selling the meat at 20 cents
per pound. OF course. only few people
buy.
"Thc first week we were here people
were starving TO death, and i think
few are now dying from the effects Of
starvation. I am positive, however, that
the customs have been honestly admin
istered. "SHAFTER,
Major General"

Why Mr.. Gladstone Was FIogged'
U,ondon Telegraph)

Not long since I had an opportunity oil
asking him whether he had ever been
logged at Elton. and, If SO, whether It was
true, as Sir Francis Doyle Zone OF the
Elton and oxford contemporarieS asserts
In his book, "Reminiscences and Opin-
IONS" that he was punished by the mex
orable DR.. Keats because he had brought
some wine into his study. Mr.. Gladstone
entered with the greatest engouement
into the subject, and although at mo-
ment's notice he was asked to fly back in
memory over a period of nearly seventy
years, he described what had happened
In such graphic terms that upon returning
home / Immediately wrote down what he
said, which was as follows:

on European Politics" He predicted a
great European war in the near future,
into which the United States would be
dragged If 1t did not go of its own accord.
He described the strengthening Of the
fortflcations and preparations for war In
every country In Europe.

This peace force is the money power.

entirely opposed to war. There are large
numbers Of people, intelligent, thoughtful
people, who believe that general war
would kill off enough Of the laborins
people to solve the labor question. Those
who were left could be paid larger
wages and live on a higher plan.
1T Is interesting 10 consider which
nation Of Europe will be benefited most
by general European war. That nation
undoubtedly would be Great Britain. She
has the navy, the men, and the money
England IS far better situated In financial
ways for war than any other European
Power.

to have a powerful ally in case of fric-
